Hey All,
My name is Rob, been dipping for 7 years, and today is my quit date! 'Finger' I'm pretty excited, but I know the temptations that come along with being an addict will make it tough. I'm a cold turkey type of guy, so that's the way it's gonna be. Also, I wanted to say something about a comment that I've seen some of you 'vets' make on newcomers' intros when they make a quit date instead of quitting right here, right now, since it directly applies to me and I don't feel like getting bagged on. Although I agree that that is the best option, as there's no better time than the present, I'm guilty of making a quit date, and I think a real man should have the integrity and willpower to hold himself to that and overcome the horrible addiction that is telling him that he needs to be a slave to the can (yes, I know you might say that is easier said than done, but I'm about to do it after being smokeless tobacco's personal bitch on a daily basis for 7 years, so you can too). Like most of you, I told myself I would quit SEVERAL times in the past. However, I would just tell people, such as family, that at the time, but I never REALLY wanted to quit, and so I wouldn't. But a couple weeks ago, I got this strong feeling inside that it was really time. It was time to end this love/hate relationship with my beloved can and quit for myself. Anyways, so I was looking around the interwebs recently about side effects of quitting or something rather, and the very first link I clicked brought me to this site. I was very impressed with it, and it intrigued me that so many people were united right here in this one place by the common goal of quitting this addiction. I started browsing around and reading some of the stories posted by members here, and scanned through posts. I did that here and there for a couple days, but then I started feeling guilty. I felt that I should be quit too if I should have the privilege of reading about what other people have gone and are currently going through, when I hadn't even officially started my quit path yet. I decided that I would quit for sure on the last day of the month, and would say on record that the very first time that I will have gone without a chew in my lip for more than a 24 hour period in the last 7 years of my life would occur 01 OCT 2014 (my b-day is in October and I like the month in general, as there are alot of memories connected to it that have personal value to me, and I figured I would add one more memory, the day I killed the can). So the time is here and I've come to make my intro post and will figure things out here in a bit, and post my roll. Also I can start going through the contents of the site again guilt-free! ;) Again, I want to reiterate how great I find the idea of this site, and give a shout-out to the site administrators and everyone who continually posts on here to keep the site alive and going by sharing their stories and experiences with the goal of helping out that next quit brother. Good job everyone. Nice to be quit with you all, and I hope ya'll make it. Good luck! (oh, and P.S., I didn't expect the intro to keep running as long as it did, so sorry about that :D )

So you're gonna keep dipping until midnight?

Sorry. All I heard was blah blah blah.
I'm a chic so the "real man" comment turned my bitch on.
No worries. A real quitter just quits. Now. Stop. Get the shit out of your mouth and quit. Nice you are thinking about it though. Such a sweet thought.
Go dump your shit. Quit. "Getting bagged on" yeah....sucks for a girl too. HAHAHAHAAAA So I've heard.
Until then, I will just be a "real girl" and quit.

You guys have the wrong idea. I work swings so I got off work late and had a dip in very early this morning (taken out around 1am, so I couldn't technically count today without feeling like a liar.

Yeah I reread my intro after I posted it and noticed this part in particular might offend the women populus of this wonderful site. None of that was intended to be like that, I'm just trying to stay positive in my own head here. The fog is real.
(P.S. I guess I wasn't clear, but I'm almost at the 24 hour mark for my quit. I work swings so I get off work late and took my last dip out around the 1am mark this morning; felt like counting today would be a lie, that's why I said my official 24 hours free of dip with be 01 OCT 2014, at 0100 to be exact)

The day you quit is your Day 1. No excuses. Failure is unacceptable from this point forward.

Good for you then. Today is day 1. You should post day in your quit group. And then post day 2 as soon as tomorrow begins. Posting roll is your word that you'll keep nicotine out of your body for the next 24 hours. It guarantees your safety from nicotine. I recommend posting your daily roll call as a soon as possible

Yeah, I posted roll first thing after I posted my intro. I'm in this for the long-haul, and I've always prided myself on keeping my word.

Dude is on roll. He is now a quitter. I you stay in play and have a 100% roll post percentage, you have a very good chance of long term quitting.

Hey Done4Me,
Your story (HOF Speech) was actually the very first one I encountered when I stumbled upon this site. After that I kept reading on. Thanks for the advice. Right now I'm getting slight headaches and lightheadedness, and obvious lack of focus as the fog bank rolls in, as i'm approaching my 24 hour mark. I have no intention or desire of dipping and can't wait to post roll again tomorrow!

Quit hard. Push through the fog. It's worth it. PM me if I can help at all.

You can push through it. It get easier, then harder, then easier again. It sounds like you have the basics of the site down. Keep pushing through and use this site if the cravings get to be too much. Proud to quit with you today.

You are a wise man to follow the lead of Done4me ... total bad-ass quitter. Keep pushing, keep quitting. Make posting roll your priority, and make it an every damn day priority! Welcome bro, I quit with you today!

I read Done4Me's speech as well. It is quit prose of the finest sort.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. Day 2: felt okay first half of the day, now I'm starting to get the crazy fog symptoms stronger than ever, which will probably last until I go to bed pretty much, 'cuz that is how it went down for me yesterday. Just drinking tons of water and keeping busy with other things as much as possible. Fun stuff.
