Hi I'm David26 This is my first day of quitting I have dipped Copenhagen for 8 years now and its time to end my addiction. I don't know how to navigate through the site or join a group. All I know is that I want this and I am committed to make a life long change no more excuses.

Good to have you David. You made the best desicion you will ever make. Quitting will be hard but it will be very rewarding, but you must remain extremely dedicated to it.
You belong to the May 2010 HOF quit group. Head over to the quit group section, find the May group and post roll there. Make sure you do it everyday. That is your pledge that you will not dip for that day.
Make sure you check out the Welcome Center but here is how you post roll. You will probably screw it up but don't worry about it. The most important thing is that you give your word that you will not dip for that day.
Step 1 - Find the last Roll Call
Step 2 - Hit the "Quote" button in the upper right hand corner.
Step 3 - Click your mouse ANYWHERE in The bottom Box
Step 4 - Hit Ctrl and "A" at the Same time so it looks like THIS
Step 5 - Hit Ctrl and "X" at the same time so there is NOTHING in Either Box
Step 6 - Click your mouse in the TOP BOX
Step 7 - Hit Ctrl and "V" at the same time to Past the info into the top box AND ADD YOUR info to the bottom of the list
Step 8 - Hit ADD REPLY below the bottom box
Step 9 - Go back to the 1st unread post, pat yourself on the back, and have a beer cause you will not be dipping today.

I took this as your day 1 pledge not to dip. I put your name on roll call for May. Now, you cannot dip today. This was your promise and you will not go back on it.

dont post roll for people
posting roll is an important personal affirmation
teach him how to post roll...but make sure he understands the importance of doing it...make sure he knows why we do it
but for fucks sake dont do it for him
as much as you may think you can quit for him Mike...you cant...
its the nature of the beast

WOW, I have only seen this done like all the time. Someone can't post roll so someone does it for them...happens everyday. In this situation he is new and getting used to the site and I wanted to get his name on the roll call where he belongs. Not a lot of people visit this area and his group may not know he is here.

No, you have not seen this done all the time. There is a distinct difference between someone giving their word in chat or in a text and that being transfered into a roll call and someone pledging a "want" to quit and running off to post their roll.
Like Loot points out, roll call is the equivalent of saying "I promise not to dip." Those words can be re-said for someone in a different room, but not said for someone.

There was some more conversation about this in April-2010. I understand that there was conversation with David26 in chat, and that he made it apparent there that he wanted to post roll but didn't know how. I think Mike's intentions were in the right place, but his clarity and presentation in this intro topic could use some work. :D

Thank you NKT, I would agree.
I also think that the bold statement "Do not post roll for people" needs come clarity also.

LOOT thinks a lot of shit goes without saying
LOOT thinks if dude sends you a text with his roll and asks you to hit roll for him...fine. But to take an intro post and run off to post roll for a dude who may not get the concept is wrong.
LOOT thinks if a guy gives out his personal info, its not a goddamned invitation to turn into a private detective and track his ass down thru his wife...thats bullshit and in LOOT's opinion waaaay over the fucking top.
LOOT also thinks some common fucking sense and compassion for a quitter goes a long fuckin way. a saying comes to mind...something about handing a fucker a fish and feeding him once or equiping the fucker with a pole so he be self sufficient.
its just LOOTs opinion, which doesnt hold much weight, but there is a huge difference in making a roll post for someone who has been around a while and gets the concept...or picking a guy up at the grocery store and making roll for him cause he told you he needed to quit.
carry on...

I kind of figured this was the heart of Loot's problem with me as he was one of the only ones who spoke out against me in that situation.

that aint the heart of it...you miss the fucking point...that was simply exhibit B
exhibit A was and will remain...making roll call for a guy who has a total of 2 fuckin posts...get it?
this exchange is doing no one in this intro any good...if you wanna debate the merits of LOOTs position we can do it privately...or we'll take it your house...your call

Getting back to you David. I hope we see you very soon in the May quit group. I'd like to add that one of the great things about this website is the diversity of people here. With that diversity comes problems like any family. Yes, we are a family here and occassionally we run into problems. But what makes this place great that even though we argue from time to time we will always be there to help each other out. Mike and Loot might have a bit of a tif going on right now but I am willing to bet that if either needs a helping hand with their quit that they both will be there to help each other.
Now get over to May and start saving your life. Post roll. Give your word that you will not dip today. Today is the first day of your life. Welcome aboard.

It is better to have to pull back on the reigns than to have to try to kick into gear. Plus, I think it was a group effort.

If anyone wants to track me down through my wife, please remember that the telephone naturally drops the voice a few octaves. And if you go the facebook route, that's not an adams apple on her profille pic.
Assholes.

If I don't post for a couple of days, please feel free to swing by the house and let my wife know I'm hiding somewhere with a facefull o death. It might be true but really.....who needs to know for sure. Just say it.
