I love the smell of new quit on a Sunday morning. Mick - WELCOME and congrats on making a life-changing choice. Do you know how to post roll? Go to the "Welcome Center" link and start posting roll and reading as much as you can here. Bottom line, this place works. I dipped for 21 years, can a day and today I posted my 81st day nicotine free. The principle is simple, (1) wake up in the morning and post roll on your quit month (which will be Jan. 2012); (2) keep your promise not to use ANY FORM of nicotine for the day; (3) wake up in the morning and repeat.
There is a wealth of information and support here. Drink the koolaid and you WILL succeed.

Welcome aboard Mick!
You have tons of quitting experience and support here. We all want you to suceed.
We have all quit and know how tough it is. But, we are all living proof that it can be done. Your addiction is no different that ours is, you can stop using too!
Get phone numbers, veterans and newbies. Your quit group will become your brothers and sisters, you will watch their backs just as they will watch yours. Get as many numbers as you can out of your quit group. You will need support when the going gets tough. Texting saved my butt many times!
When you get angry, rant in rave on this site. Use the chat or post on the boards. Don't take it out on you family. They don't deserve it, they haven't been putting the crap in your mouth all these years but have had to deal with your addiction. Don't make them suffer through your quit. We all know what you are going through, we can handle you rants and raves.
Last bit of advice, read, read and read some more! This site is full of good advice and inspiration. When you feel the nic bitch whispering in your ear, get on this site and read!
The choice is yours and yours alone. No one or nothing can make you use.
You can do this!

Welcome Mick, congratulations on the best decision....take it from me- you CAN do this. Post roll every day- this is a promise to me that you will not use nicotine for just today. Keep your promise to me. Wake up tomorrow and repeat. That's it- one day at a time quitting....you won't believe how good it is going to get! Buckle up for the next couple of days as nicotine leaves your system...know that you never have to go through days 1-3 again.
Make the decision to be quit. Make the decision that there is no turning back.
-
Great choice, Mick. Congrats. You took the first step. Let us help you with the rest. We got your back. I second all the advice you've gotten so far...read, read read!!!
You can do this, bro.

Thanks all. I'll figure out the roll call and start posting. In this to win it.

Welcome aboard Mick! Wise decision to quit sucking the nic bitches titty! Post roll, make your daily promise , repeat. One day at a time. Embrace the suck, and get your quit going. See you in roll call! nico

65 days ago today I quit. I find it interesting now, after reviewing all the stuff on this site, including all of the newbies/intros, nobody busted my ass for not posting roll the first 10 or so days. Maybe its an age thing? I was definitely lurking, just couldn't figure out the damn posting. I got it now but it would be nice if someone figured out an easier way. I started out a lot more passive than I am now and I figure I am going to be a lot more....uhmmm..vigilant going forward. I am glad and thank God that I found this site. I pray every day and night for all of my quit relatives on here especially the January Juggs. 'Cheers'

So, one of my kids (14 years old) wants to get back into baseball. I played baseball when I was 14.....Oh Yah, that's when I began dipping because the Varsity boys all dipped!
Well, signing in at the league the first thing we see is the Vice Pres of the League with a fatty in his lip. This at a public park with signs of no tobacco etc. and a bunch of teenage boys wanting to learn and play ball. Needless to say, I am having all sorts of thoughts on how to deal with this schmuck. I feel like a hypocrite because it was only a few years ago when I was coaching at the same fields with a dip in. I think I was a :ph43r: dipper since you weren't supposed to have it in the first place. This guys has a fatty like no other. I think once the teams get situated I am going to have to talk to this guy. Suggest at least that he make it not obvious to the kids. I never want another 14 year old starting dip because older kids or coaches do it. I am open to suggestions and/or comments.

Jesus fucking christ that drives a fucking mac truck up my ass. What a fucking jerk.
Mick my personal approach is to engage especially if there are kids around. Send the message to him, yourself and the kids that chewing tobacco is not the path to take.
Damn I hunt that fucker down.

I will. I was very involved with the league a few years back but the boys moved to football. I'll pick my time once I get to see the "players". He definitely will be called out. Geez, the guy could even be my son's coach. Wouldn't that be a bunch of drama. Gotta think of my son's interests as well. He (my whole family) knows I am quit and they are all hyped. My boys know not to start this crap. I have to weight the other souls with my own son's interests. We'll see. Thanks for the input Soul.

Tonight I am sitting here on the eve of my 100th day/Hall of Fame/HOF. I feel no different than the 1st day of my quit. I am pissed that I will always feel a need to put tobacco in my mouth. I am proud to know that, while I will crave, I will never dip that shit again. I know this because, in the event I should cave, I need to advise my Jugghead brothers of my failure. My brothers (and sister) will rightfully put me through the ringer. I will feel the dissappointment and betrayal that I showed my brothers/sister. The last dip dream I had was about some dickheads holidng me down and putting a dip in my mouth. They were laughing...knowing that I would have to post day 1! I am the elder of the Juggies. I am a f??king Addict. I am so thankful for my quit brothers/sister. This is far from where I started with this group. I am happy and proud to be here today.

You should feel different. I know that 100 days means nothing in the scheme of things but it is a milestone that you should be proud of. I was damn proud of myself when I hit it. You should be too. While we quit one day at a time, I think there is a place for celebration of the milestones. I'm coming close to 200 so am equally excited about that day as I was with 100.
Nonetheless, congrats. Aside from all that, the most important thing is that you return and post day 101 that next day.
