So I think it's time I finally created an intro thread. I've been posting for a while and just never created an intro because I didn't know what to say.
My real name is Drew and I'm 27 years old. My chew of choice was grizzly wintergreen. I was a can a day dipper for about 12 years.
I signed up for the site back in October during a pitiful 3 day attempt to "quit". I never posted and faded away from the site. I realized then that I wasn't ready to quit yet. Fast forward to March and I am ready to quit. I come back to the site and was reading around and was going to walk away from it again without posting because "I'm on a phone so I can't post". Shout out to Walter White for seeing me lurking and sending me a PM to post up and how to do it.
I've now been here for 66 days and am glad to have met so many Bad Ass Quitters on this site. I've personally bonded with at least 10 guys from my group. I help out with the SSOA. I even go to other groups now to answer any questions that I can. I can't wait to see how the next 66 days go.

Yeah, you're friggin ready!! I'm proud to be quit with you, and thank you for your support this past 66 days!
Lesson to those reading this: Quit when you are ready, and when you are ready, QUIT!!!

Great to have you here Drew! Also great that you are quitting relatively early. I would do anything to be able to go back in time and quit at 27 years old. It took me 20 plus years after that to find my way.
Don't limit yourself here - feel free to post on any thread on the site. We are all addicts and there is great advice to be found all over the place. The best news is that you can do this! Just quit today and then get back here tomorrow to repeat. One day at a time.
I quit with you today!

Well done drew.
There will be times it doesnt feel worth it.
Feelings at times... are not true.
In time it will be worth every MINUTE of truth.
Focus on today.
You do not need nicotine.
I quit with you.

Yesterday I had another dip dream. It was a little more bizarre than my normal dip dream.
I have a cousin with whom I'm really close that is a dipper. I've let him know about the site and how it's helped me and I think eventually he will be here, he's just not ready yet.
Now to the dip dream. I dreamt that I met up with my cousin in a parking lot and he told me that he has quit dipping. I asked him how long since he had a dip and he tells me a week. I then tell him that it's time for him to get on the site so he can get some accountability because it has really helped me. He tells me that "clearly it hasn't helped too much" and that's when I realize I have a dip in and my cousin then gets one. I woke up feeling like shit because not only had I thought I caved but my caving made my cousin doubt the site and his quit so he caved too.

Every time I have a dip dream I wake up and post as soon as I can. I only had one dream in the first month of my quit but I've had a few more dreams here and there lately. I figure that there is still a part of my brain that wants nicotine and I'm not really surprised because I am an addict. Regardless of your dreams keep posting roll every day!
Never forget that you are winning!

Great advice. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Dip dreams are trophies for addicts when we wake up!
Dreams are not real.
Posting roll and living without chains and cancer.... is real.
Love on some truth.
EDD ODAAT.
I Quit with you.

Today is 100 days for me. I've come a long way but I still have a long road ahead. Thank you to all who helped me make it to this point.

Congrats on 100 days! I'm closing in on 300 days myself. We are the same. Our quits depend on each of us waking up in the morning and deciding not to use nicotine for the day. We are both a bad decision away from being back in hell.
Celebrate this milestone but continue to focus on tomorrow.
I quit with you today! :)

So it's been a while since I posted in here.
I'm on day 135 now and have been having some pretty good days here lately. I'm starting to gear up for the fuckits in days 140-160 though. I've got my seeds on hand and also some fake that I bought in April gearing up for a road trip that I took one pinch out of.
Last weekend, I had a friend over that dips and it showed me exactly how stupid I was packing that can, walking around with a bulge in my cheek and how disgusting it smells and how disgusting the toons are. I never want to go back to that shit. I can't promise I never will but I can promise I won't today and I plan to make that promise again tomorrow.

I had a bad dip dream over the weekend.
I went on a float trip over the weekend and didn't really have much access to my quit brothers though I was able to get some texts to go through so I didn't miss roll. Anyway, on Saturday night I had a dream that I put in a dip, realized I fucked up, and decided I was just going to continue posting my old day count. I woke up glad to still be quit. I also immediately went to find cell service to get my text sent to a quit brother to post roll for me (thanks again Sacksy and glad you were on a plane and not asleep!)

Nic Bitch has been all over my ass today but I'm glad that today is 6 months nic free.

Hang in there Drew. I hit one year free tomorrow and I still have some rough days. Rough days are normal and are meant to be conquered rather than used as an excuse to give in. Congratulations on 6 months quit!
I quit with you today! B)B

I like the way you use the tools amongst the craves. Good to see you in live chat the other day. ?

I hit the 2nd floor 10 days ago but didn't get a chance to post in here because I was busy with my wedding. 200 days is a hell of an accomplishment that I'm proud of. I remember very clearly 200 days ago and how much those first 2 weeks sucked. I still have days that suck but I get through it by looking in the new groups and remembering how difficult they have it in those first couple of weeks. I'm glad to still be here posting every day and getting to see my number continue to go up. Our group has lost quite a few along the way but the ones still here want it bad and want it bad for everyone else that is here. I appreciate all the BAQs that are here and helping me in one way or another. I'll see all you guys tomorrow morning on roll.

Congratulations my friend on the 200?and your marriage! I've been married 32 years of which 30 I dipped. Be proud of yourself and remember there's no good reason at all to stick that nasty shit in your mouth! It gets easier but you will probably always get a crave. So what you've got the tools to eat it and they get a whole lot less intense and last a very short period of time. Damn glad to be quit with you!

I've been dealing with a bit of a funk for the last week. Feels like I'm back in the fog and the bitch won't leave me alone. Been spending a lot of time in the new groups to remind myself of those first days and how bad they sucked. Going to continue fighting through it but ready to get back to some easier days.
Day 218

I hit day 300 on 12/26/2016 and still going strong. Still staying pretty involved here and glad to feel better each day.

Nice work on 300 days. A nic free Christmas. Nothing better. Congratulations on a solid quit

On the eve of 500 and had a dip dream. I put it in right in front of my wife and told her I'm done quitting. She called up Irish and told him I caved and he was on his way to my house when I woke up.

Congrats on 500 days quit!
Outstanding!
