As I stumbled across this site, reveling in a thankfully negative oral cancer screening, something keeps ringing in my head. My dentist almost sounded surprised that I came back negative. That stung me in a way I've never experienced. I don't think he wanted me to get cancer, surely he didn't. What stung was how foolish this awful habit makes me feel.
I read thru the page and this group seems...comfortable. So...on with a poorly written intro...
I'm 40 as of about a month ago. I've chewed every single day since 16. Never missed a day. Thru marriage, children, losing parents and jobs...this disgusting can has always been by my side. Stinky cup/bottle in tow. Chewing has been a companion, a release, and, ultimately, my nemesis. I love it and I hate it.
I'm working tonight...found this site with a gigantic chew in my mouth that I was barely enjoying anyway. When I sent my registration, I walked to the restroom, threw the can away,spit out my last chew, and am prepared for the inevitably difficult day that awaits me.
I no longer wish to be controlled by a plant. I can and will do this....but not alone.
Folks, in all honesty, I'm terrified...yet resolved. I intend to lean on this group for support.
Wow...that's a wordy intro...

You can do it. Every time you think about grabbing a dip think about what your last dip was like. Did you really need it? Did it give you that feeling that made all of us here addicts years ago? For me the answer is no. I didn't need the last one, I didn't feel a damned thing because of my tolerance, and I sure as hell don't need another one. Good job quitting brother.

Welcome!
I know how you feel with the fear. I would say one of the more emotional decisions I have made. Everyone on this forum is here to support you with your quit, as well as you are here to support others. It's a group effort. Get in on your quit group and post roll every day. I am at day 86. Remember One Day At A Time. It's going to be work and will be stressful. But, you have this site and others to guide you in the path to freedom. If you have any questions PM me and I will do my best to help. There are also no dip discussion boards to assist you in just bs'ing with some guys and gals about whatever. Use everyone and everything here to help and reach out when you need it. You have already completed the first step in reaching out and continue to do so for the rest of your quit. So once again, welcome and you got this.

Man you don't love chew you think you do but you don't..The shit gave you a cancer scare and you still put in a big fatty. You my friend are an addict and because of this you need help. Post roll every day with you promise not to use nicotine for the day. Wake up the next day and repeat. You need to dig deep and find out why your really here.? This isn't a cute little blog site for you post another attempt.. This is the real deal, this is a fight, maybe even for your life. This site is for quitters. So post up and lets do this. You didn't come here by accident. I will quit with you but you need to do it our way because there is no room for weaknes sin a quit!

Hey Maya. Dont be a drive by man. You can do this. You are in for a tough ride. The first few weeks really suck, but the freedom is so worth it. Buckle in and get your ass on this site as much as possible. You must learn about your adversary.
You can do this.

Post roll with May 2014.
-
One day at a time - sometimes one hour at a time. Cravings can be brutal, but thankfully short lived. I find the story and pics on Outdoor Texan to be particularly useful whenever I begin to doubt my quit: http://outdoortexan.com/mycancer.htm (http://outdoortexan.com/mycancer.htm)

Welcome to KTC and the best decision you have made since turning 16 years old. The first few days will be rough and we call that the "SUCK" and it has that name for a reason. Embrace the SUCK it will be motivation for later when that little Nic bitch comes whispering in you ear. Let's do this friend, I too made my Quit at 40 years old the end of last year after dipping since I was 15 years old, 85 days into my quit now. The freedom from that damn little can is worth it. You are an addict like all of us on here but we can and will win if you follow the KTC plan. Post Roll with your May group and start stomping the Nic bitch in the guts. Get some gum, fireballs, toothpicks, water, seeds and whatever else you will need at the start. Give me a shout if you need anything!

How many people have to tell you to post roll before you get serious? There is a reason that everyone keeps telling you the same thing.

He is on roll - May 14. 'oh yeah'

So which HOF group do I join - today is day 1 for me.

Day 7 and hanging in there. The site has been an incredible help. Jaydubya and golfpro have been especially helpful.
Rock it out folks! Stayin quit...

I just wanted to let you know this part of your intro struck a chord with me. 88 days ago I remember feeling terrified and depressed about giving up my best friend and constant companion. I went 12 days by myself and knew I was never going to make it on my own. I moved way out of my comfort zone and joined this community and can tell you without a doubt it has changed my life. You will find in time that quitting dip is just the beginning of a lot of changes. Just keep posting roll everyday and making friends. One day at a time. Just let it come to you. You are doing this. 'oh yeah'

There's a sneaky quit rising through the ranks of Mayhem -- love it! Keep it up Amr -- you're a step closer to clarity. Quit with you today.

Day 16...feeling pretty good. Definitely empowering to go over two weeks without the poison. Until finding this site, that was merely a dream. Some fog has lifted, sort of comes in waves, but manageable. Craves seem to ebb and flow, fortunately, none too severe. That could be the mindfuck scarring of the suck, but I'll go with it.
The interactions with jaydubya, golfpro9696, and Paul S have really helped with maintaining focus.
Rock it out Mayhem...stay quit.

Hey quitter. How about an intro update. You are rocking this quit at 52 days. How are you feeling? Are you 100% roll poster. Are you down with this program? Is day 52 better than day 2? Glad you are winning, tell us about it.

Day 64...
Today is my son's 9th birthday. His first birthday that I will not have a dip in my mouth...then rush to take it out so I can stuff cake in my face...then rush to get another dip in my mouth...you get the point.
Some know that I stopped drinking 3378 days ago, that decision was complicated and difficult, but I know I was nowhere near capable of facing that addiction without the deep soul searching I did before this incredible boy entered my life.
Now I am wrapping up day 64 of freedom from tobacco. I never hid my tobacco use from my kids...I wasn't a ninja dipper...I let that shit define a portion of me. Never again. I quit for me, and me alone...but it would be foolish if me to not realize that quitting is the best gift my son will, hopefully, never know he received.
Like many of us, I live and breathe for my wife and kids...my wife continually tells me how proud she is of my quit. This amazing woman even understood when I explained that this quit is for me...she got it....and thanked me for loving them so much.
The suck sucked. The craves suck. The irritability sucks...but nothing beats the immense pride I feel in making it this far...odaat. I'll confess to sort of enjoying the random nic rage...
So this is a wordy way of saying thanks to all on this site who've been there for me so far and who will be there for me going forward. I'm not going anywhere. I will wake up tomorrow, make my promise to this brotherhood, and celebrate with the most amazing and genuine boy I've ever known...and I'll do it tobacco free.
Whew...that was a lot...feels good.

Great post Phil and great work on the quit. Over 2 months without the poison. Your mind and body are begining to heal. And it just keeps getting better. It is good to see you update this intro. Dig in man, build that house of quit. This thing is all about accountability.
Happy birthday to your son. I have boys around the same age. My oldest boy turned 9 the month I hit HOF. He knew all about my struggle with dip. He watched me swear to quit dozens of times, only to fail a week later. I will never forget him telling me that he was proud of me. I was stunned and convicted. My 9 year old was "proud of me". Wow, what does one do with that. Well I tucked it away in my heart and used it as motivation to never give up, and never succumb to the addiction.
It is now my mission to do everything in my power to protect my kids from addiction. I will never stop talking about it. I will never stop showing them pictures of what it can lead to.
Quit with you today. Keep it up.

Hey I hear you on enjoying the random nic rage. It makes you feel alive.

day 71...
Staying quit...been dealing with nagging craves the past week or so...nothing unbearable, to be sure, more annoying than anything else. I've found myself drawing closer to the site. Over the course of the next few weeks, will begin seeing my quit brothers from May start entering the hall...amazing stuff.
QLFEDD...not the James Gordon way...

Way to be a stud quitter, Bro!
Proud to be experiencing all of these nic-free firsts with you. 5.0714285 ISG is freaking awesome!
I'll save you a seat in HOG!
QLFEDD with you! (and James Gordon if he's for real)

Day 77-
First trip to the dentist tomorrow since I quit. I'm not terrified for the first time, but I do have a general uneasiness...suppose that's a conditioned response. I know that I'm not desperately looking for a reason to cancel it...so some rewiring seems to have happened.
Fuck tobacco. Fuck addiction.
That is all...622

A, day 77 is awesome, keep the quit! Isn't it funny how when you went to the dentist before you actually tried hiding the fact that you chewed? Well, in my case anyways. My dentist is an enabler. He'll say to me, you'll be fine just move it around.
Be proud man, walk in the joint like you own it and tell the hygienist, I QUIT.

I just read your entire intro and just wanted to say that there is some great quit going on here. Stay close to KTC and keep your guard up. Regarding the visit with the dentist: be honest and have them be thorough. Enjoy the feeling when you get a clean bill of health.

*LOOT stumbles down the steps from whatever floor he is on these days, makes a pass through the 2nd floor corridors to kick JDubya and tell him and his boys to clean their shit up, heads down another set of stairs, and opens the door to the HOF for his friend*
Well done AmAMayan...well done. You've met the first goal. You get to hang out with the kewl kids.
Now, do us both a favor and set yourself a new goal. A man with no obtainable goal roams aimlessly through life. Roaming aimlessly will get your ass killed. So..maybe let's set our sights on 200? Commit to post Roll with your group, to your group, for the next 100 days. You know what posting Roll Call daily and honoring your word gets you. Go read Aggies intro if you need a refresher on what happens when you don't make that daily commitment.
100 is awesome...but your an addict. Your addiction still has some work to do on you. You are not out of the woods by any stretch. There is nothing magical about 100. You are not cured. In fact, you will never be cured. 100 is a nice number that once reached, should arm you with some tools. Tools you've acquired to help you manage life as a recovering addict. You know how to make the right choices and you should be armed with enough contacts here that will help you when you know the right choice, but your addiction is getting the better of you. Don't be ashamed to make that call. Reach out...get that help. None of us can do this alone. We've got to help each other over the rough spots.
Funks come in fairly predictable patterns. Your next one will likely hit around 125. Then 250. Then 400. Then 700. Be ready. Get your mind right. Use the lulls in the storm to rest. Rest for the fight you know is going to hit you when you least expect it. Your demons know when you are cruising and they will jump all over your ass in an attempt to get you back to an "active" addict. You combat that by never being complacent in your cleanliness. Complacency is death. You combat that with daily Roll Call.
LOOT hopes you have a great day. Celebrate with vigor. Indulge yourself. Try not to dwell on the fact you are an addict. Then, tomorrow, put your fucking head down and get back to the daily grind of clean.
We've talked about the dual quits of alcohol and nicotine in private. We've done both. We agree nicotine is by far the more difficult to quit. That is another reason why today is special. You've done what 99% of nicotine addicts only wish they could do. Be proud friend. Be proud.
LOOT will quit with you today.

Gratz on the hundo!

Well done AmAMayan. The more I hang out in the chat room, sharing thoughts with like-minded individuals, the more I am convinced I found the right place for me to quit. Quitters like you help more than you know. Thank you, and congrats.
p.s. MN Ben said that in reaching the HOF, you are going to receive a personalized "sample" trophy! Good luck with that.
