I've been a slave to nicotine for 30 years. I've tried numerous times to quit, the longest 47 days, and always listen to those little voices saying, "Go ahead, just one dip won't get you started back." I'm here to say that ONE DIP IS STARTING BACK!!!!
I don't have to tell any of you that nicotine is evil. I just have to keep telling myself. I recently tried unsuccesfully to quit. Although I went 42 days, I listened to that voice of reasoning again and was right where I started in no time. Ashamed to tell anyone, I was sneaking it. I even turned down sex with my wife one night, just so I could stay up and sneak another dip. How pathetic is that?
I've had friends and relatives with adictions to drugs and alchohol. I would observe them as they would devise sneaky ways and tell lies to avoid being caught and chastised. I would shake my head and think, "how pathetic."
Well, I finally looked myself in the mirror and said to myself, "how pathetic". I didn't like who I saw and saw myself in the grip of a monster. I am going to do it this time. I need accountability for this. Yes, I'm an adict.

Welcome aboard! This is a great site with alot of guys willing to help. Post roll daily and hit the chat room when you can. You can do this!!
-
Welcome Flashman! Great decision. You will do this. There's a ton of support here and a lot of examples of addicts just like you, kicking the nic bitch to the curb.
Good luck man stick with it! Post roll every day -- Doing that one thing made a world of difference for me between this genuine quit and the dozen other so-called "quits".
Reading everything you can on the site helps too. You will find lots of people going through exactly what you are, not to mention a lot of entertainment.
-
Yeah, you are a fucking addict, we are all and will always be. The only difference brother is the fact that you might have finally woke up, realized it, and decided to do something about it. If you are looking for accountability then post up at roll call every day. I look forward to it, it means I made it another day without the beast on my ass, wife not included. Welcome to the quit dude.

Congratulations on the decision to save your life. You're quitting with a community who has walked in your shoes, gone through all the bull shit with nicotine addiction. Don't stray from the website, post roll, read everything, get to know some people. Make it happen!!! All you bro!!!

Don't get to know me. It won't end well.
'Kiss'
Well, that depends how you define "well".

Got me some smokey mountain herbal snuff for the first time last night. They didn't have the original, so I had to settle for cherry. It tastes like nyquil, but at least it's a little comforting between the lip and gum.
Gonna be a bitch of a day, but I'm actually looking forward to it. 'bang head'

Welcome Flashman. I did that shit (Dipped and/or smoked) for over 30 years and am now 289 days free!!!!It will be hell for the first week or two but it will start to get better after that. IT IS ALL WORTH IT to get that crap out of your life.!!! Been there done that. Hang on for the ride of your life.

Flashman, You made a very smart decision to throw that crap away. Try to keep this site close for the next few weeks. What was your brand? It gets better with each passing week . Hang tough and post here often.
