Alright,let's roll.
My names Jason 38 years old, been dipping or smoking, sometimes both at the same time over the last 28 years. When's my quit date?? Right now, I actually had one in when I found this forum but got sick of getting up to spit in my sink (pretty damn nasty, I agree). I just threw all my bottles away, the can in my pocket and the three in my truck. Started to already give up and dig in the trash......what's it been 5 minutes??? That's not who I am, so I dug them out and dumped them in the toilet. I refuse to give in.
How'd I end up here??? Started real young while playing baseball, hiding it from my mom, cause the pros were doing it it must help. NOT...(ref. Tony Gwynn, RIP). Got worse while in the Marines, took the edge off and it's just gotten worse. Now I coach baseball and football and want to break the cycle for these kids, never done it on the field but I live in a real small town, they've seen me they're not stupid.
I DONT WANT TO QUIT, IM GOING TO QUIT!!! I have a beautiful wife of 14 years, a 7 year old son that looks up to me and a 4 year old set of twins that all need me to be around. I used to hide it from all of em and I guess I could keep doing that but why??? Is it really worth it to lie to them?? I know this is going to be hard, worse than when I quit smoking cause I can dip everywhere. But with a community that knows the struggle I believe I can do this and help others at the same time. Helping others fight will only make me fight harder, I figure if I end up at a store to give in I'm buying some of the nastiest cheapest tea leaves I can find and shove em in, that should curb it for a bit!!
Hopefully post one of many, successes and struggles, bring em on......oh and one more thing. Hey long cut wintergreen...... 'Finger'

Love the fucking excitement man.
Take a look around. Check out that little welcome center up top and see why we do this and how we do it. Then, post your roll, strap in, and let's roll!
(1). Water is important. It flushes the toxins from your system.
(2). Exercise-it kills craves.
(3). Make a promise, and keep it. Your brothers will help. The vets will help. But you are the one pulling the trigger on this quit.
Any questions?

Damn right!,, and you do this for you and you only. That way you only have yourself to blame when the pains starts. And if it's anything like my quit it will hurt a lot. And there is no need to hope, we don't hope,,,,, we just do!! That's right...... we post roll everyday and honor our word to not use nicotine in any form and we do it one day at a time. Congrats on a great choice.

Learn how and why we post roll and do it. The day you spit that shit out is Day 1. Sounds like you're there. You should flush your stash...don't just throw it away unless you want to be digging through your trash tonight.
Quitting is a privilege reserved to those who have the guts to do it. Sounds to me like you do. You give us your word, and we've got your back the rest of the way. ONE DAY AT A TIME is your new motto.

Half way through day one and I could really give a shit less, I miss nothing. A lot of support at work too and at home, told my kids this morning, they'll keep me in check. Bought som herbal just in case, I've had a couple but if that's the taste I have to deal with then I don't need it either.
If I feel like cheating all I gotta do is come here and read, did i mention how great this place is. FUCK YEAH, DAY 100 STARTS WITH DAY ONE!! 'boob'

Thank you for your service Jarhead. I'm glad it is going well for you today. Staying busy always is a huge help. Stay strong this weekend, Day 3 brought me to my knees.

FIght, dammit, fight!! Your health is worth it.
Getting family support is good, just don't let your rage turn towards them. The rage will come. Be prepared to deal with it. Bring it here.
Our families did nothing to cause our addiction. Spare the innocents.

Q. "What school did you go to? - A. "Heartbreak Ridge".
Ah - one of my all time favorites. Welcome Jarhead - Stay close to this site the first few days when the fog is heavy. Glad day 1 is going well but be prepared for that nic bitch whispering in your ear. You sound like a man of your word - post roll every day and give us and yourself your promise to quit just for that day.
It's simple, but it ain't easy. This site has all the tools.
-
Ahh yes fog is getting thicker but I can see the light through the other side of it. Been visiting and reading frequently. Works easier when you now how to fight certain things and simply to know you're not alone in the fight. Not really had any cravings just the detox, I must be really done if I haven't thought about going to the store but instead how to work with my head being all swimmy. Fight on round two!!

Keep at it today Jarhead! You can stay quit today. This is the fog of war brother. Fight like hell.
I got your back today. I'm quit with you all day long!

Keep your guard up. Keep chugging water. For most quitters it's a daily battle that gradually gets easier over time. Win today and wake up and repeat tomorrow. I am quitting with you today. Get your roll call pledge posted ASAP. Do it as soon as you wake up.

Just curious about the Yzerman comment in roll today, one of my favorite Red Wings!
-
Die hard Red Wings fan, one of my favorite song lines, it's from a kid Rock song and I use it all the time, and I was feeling a little Rock today. Haven't made it to the sports section here yet but they're a huge part of my life and it's been a rough year for me sports wise. Now I'll go ahead and tell you I'm from NC, bout 20 min. from RJR tobacco, I pass it everyday, go fuckin figure. My teams are scattered, #1 hate I have is fair weather fans so don't accuse me of being one, say the word bandwagon and I'll end you....lol(day 4's not being so nice for me today). However this year people just feel sorry for me more than calling me a bandwagon guy:
NCAA Football/Baseball: Georgia Bulldogs, hard high and all day long!!
NFL: Detroit Lions, stop laughing, no I mean it stop fucking Laughing!!
MLB: Red Sox, yes I was much happier last year, thank you very much.
NHL: Detroit Red Wings, we'll be back
Basketball: I fucking hate this sport, don't expect me to have anything constructive to say in these discussions. College/pro, doesn't matter, same shit to me.
Soccer: (see basketball)
MMA: whoever is bleeding the most is who I'm pulling for.

Great intro so far. Anyone who hates soccer and basketball is ok with me.

Jarhead,
100% support from this former Squid. I'm one state north of you, you ever make it to the VA Beach area drop me a PM.
You've got a solid quit on, dropped in a large amount of accountability with your family. Great start, just remember there is no finish line.

One correction, there is a finish line, it's the day you die. With the NB we were moving faster towards it, now it's just one day ahead of us everyday. One day at a time, QLF AND MAY WE NEVER CROSS IT.

Update I reckon.....on day 20 about 3 weeks in and I feel so much better, still opting for lottery tickets instead of dip, my teeth are whiter than they've been in a long fucking time! My mouth hurt for about the first week, shit, if it hurts that bad healing what the hell was it doing to it. All better now, actually at the periodontis this morning to try and put my grill back together, receding gums and lost bone underneath. After this I'm having braces out back on, again, last time I wasted the money thanks to the nic bitch and all my bottom teeth moved crooked. I did this for myself, my health and my kids.....so I might as well have a bad ass smile to show how much happier I am now......oh and one more thing.......
HEY TIMBERWOLF... 'Finger' ......GFY!!!

Nice job brother! It does get better all the time. This is a great time for dentist visit. I was going to the dentist about every three months for cleanings before I quit and the dentist was about fed up with me and told me I had pre-disposed my mouth for cancer to invade at some point in the near future.... I had a recent cleaning/dental exam and cancer screening a week ago and all checked out and I wasn't bleeding like a stuck pig and was told to come back in six months... That never happened while I was dipping! Plus I'm sure my breath smells better since I don't have a constant infection somewhere in my mouth. This $hit is dangerous.
Congratulations on the Day 20. Keep looking forward, acknowledge and embrace the $hit you are going through so you never have to repeat it EVER again!
