Hello everyone! I just found this site today and thought I would give it a try. My last dip was on Saturday 7/23/11. I've been having more of a cranky attitude today and I think I can blame it on not having that chew. Its been 10 years since I started, and I feel like I'm 10 years overdue... I live in Alaska, the support structure is lacking; but I want to quit, so I'm going to... hopeing to get some support from the folks online at least.

I'm on day 11, so I am not an expert on this site by any means.... Go to the intro page and start posting roll. If you have any problems at all, post something, anything, anywhere on the site. People will help you, that is exactly what I did and I am still here, still quit and moving forward. I wish I was more help but I'm still learning myself. Use this site and it will help immensely. Let's do this quit!

Hey Shaundy,
Luby is right ... Keep reading and learn about posting roll. I'm new to the site but quit 30 days ago.
Ironically, I was watching Deadliest Catch tonight and thinking about dipping and how much it must suck for dudes in Alaska to try to quit. I mean, shit, if I lived there, I'd be doing something like that just to keep my mind off of all the fucking snow!
You're not alone ...

Saw you on November roll group, you are probably October but that will all get worked out and we will have a great ol quit. Stick with this place, it helps a ton. There are tons of helpful people here during the day.

THis is the strangest thing ever, but just what you need. Somehow, quitting works with support from a bunch of folks I've never even met. Never would have thought it. THese guys are right, post something somewhere here. Even somethign crazy incoherent, and you'll get a response from somebody. PM some folks, get some contact numbers, and you'll have the support you need. The system here works. Use it and you'll succeed. There is no "want to quit", "try to quit", or "need to quit". There is quit or there is not quit. Right now, you are ther former. Stay that way and you'll never have to suffer another day one.

WellÂ…Â I just figured out roll call, my frustration level was pretty high the past few days so my concentration and patience was lacking, but I figured it out.
LubyÂ’s on top of it, IÂ’m probably in a different group since my quit was before 7/25/11; but IÂ’m just happy to get the days in. I guess IÂ’ll work it out later. IÂ’ll have to keep checking out the site more, itÂ’s just hard for me to sit still right now. You know?
IÂ’m happy to say that IÂ’m not around the Bering Sea like the guys on Deadliest Catch, I would go crazy! IÂ’m in Southeast, in Juneau (the capital) I work for Fish and Game and all these guys dip, they never knew that I did before; so they donÂ’t give me shit for quitting unlike some other people whom I know from the bar scene and pool league.
I truly appreciate the help from everyone! IÂ’ll have to start getting in on some conversations in the evenings after work or something. Thanks again everyone! Â

Congrats on a great choice, Shaundy. Stay strong. Stay quit.

I'm on day 6, so this will be the first full weekend that I won't be dipping. I've planned it out pretty well, won't be going out to the bars or drinking. Working out and keeping busy seems like the way to go. What to you guys do to keep busy on the weekends? I'm just looking for some conversation to go to for the start of the weekend...
-
Everybody is different, I guess. But working out (running or biking), eating Breathsavers, and staying glued to this site worked for me early on. I used to read the Kern family story...you can find a link to it at the top. I could identify with them.
The "contract" also helps...one of the mods can send you a copy. Also, encouraging others really helped my quit. So I would get on here after every meal or other trigger.
Cancer pics scared me, but I had seen those before and I still kept dipping. Reading about the sadness of kids growing up without their father and the struggles that go along with that is particularly effective to me. And I'm up to about 25 miles per week now...best shape since high school baseball...when I started this stupid fucking addiction!

The first thing that has to be done on Sat and Sun mornings is.
POST ROLL
That way nicotine is 100% off the table the whole day.

And then spend as long as necessary mesmerized by Mrs. MikeA's...assets.

Haha, assets that I have as well, I'm a chick; so I'll find my way on the asset side of things, lol. Yeah, I'll probably be on here quite a bit. My trigger was evenings after having a few drinks. And I found that looking at the cancer pictures really helped. I hadn't seen many before, now that I see them.... I can't believe I put myself in such a dangerous situation.

Thanks! I sure will, this weekends the first that I won't take a dip in 10 years. The hubby's cooking halibut tonight, going to enjoy that without the "after high". It's actually nice not to have to find a spitter or clean up after that crap. I'm free and clear, just a little cranky...

Ok, pulling out the blonde card... I posted roll for 7/30/11 and I'm in AK time. Its only 8:22pm Friday right now. Saturday 7/30/11 is day 7 for me, just wanted to make that clear without fucking up the roll call deal again... sorry about that by the way.
Playing big-buck hunter tonight... kicking my man's ass by the way! hehe

Post when it is appropriate for you. We aren't that concerned about when it happens as long as your commitment stands.
Have you tried Cabelas Dangerous hunts with the gun accessory and stuff? It is a lot of fun but more like an arcade than the others.

Agree - Post early and often. You'll figure out what works for you and what's consistent with your group.
Keep shootin'...

Yeah, probably was a little TMI; thought it would make a few people laugh though. I'll try to keep it PG from now on... Going to bed, still quit. See you all in the morning; AK time. Nite.
