Hi, I've been dipping Cope wintergreen LC for 8 years, at least a tin a day, some times 2. As of 8 am today (8/27/13) I have officially quit!
I just turned 25, I have been wanting to quit for a good while now. My decision to quit for good happened a little over a week ago, the cashier gave me a tin of pouches instead of LC, I decided to see how long I could make them last. I was almost at 36 hours free Friday until I started drinking, and sure enough dippin away. I still had half a tin of pouches left this morning when I got to work, I sucked on one for roughly 5 mins before realizing I was just rationalizing, if I want to quit, I have to sack up and do it, not just keep crutchin along. So here I am!

Hello and welcome,
This is (as I'm sure you know) a nicotine free site. This is a great decision you've made. Welcome to the start of getting your life back.
Look on up to the "welcome center" and pay attention to the "post roll" it will be the foundation of your quit. It certainly has been a life saver for me during the tough times.
You CAN do this and we can help.
Wake up post roll (promise to not use nicotine for that day, today would be your day 1) and do it the next day. One day at a time (ODAAT, you will see that on this site a bunch).
I'm quit with you, don't hesitate to PM me or anyone on this site.

GOB. Man what a wonderful day it is for you! I am sure today sucked and tomorrow is gonna be worse, but it is an exciting time in your life. YOU ARE TAKING YOUR FREEDOM BACK! There is a ton of support here and this site makes quitting more than possible, KTC makes caving hardly possible, if you drink the cool-aid and use the site the way it is intended. iiiiGo post roll!!!! It is the way we hold one another accountable. Roll is our promise not to dip, exchange numbers and build relationships so others will be looking for your ass if you go MIA or have issues you don't realize. Pay it backward and forward. Read read read read and then read more, start with the welcome center. Pm me if you need anything. Prod you decided to take you life back today and I will go through this with you, I will quit with you as hard as I can quit. Post Roll!

You just hit it on the head right there bro! You maintain that attitude and you've got victory on your hands! Get on up to the "Welcome Center" link at he top of the page. Read, read, read! Learn how and why we post a roll call with a quit group. You will belong to the December group... that will be the month you hit your 100 day milestone. Glad your're here man... welcome to freedom.

Way to go GOB, it will suck for the next few days but will be sooo worth it to be free from the nic bitch!

Decide why you want to quit. Your WHY needs to be stronger than the LIE. Prepare your self for resistance. Look it in the eye, and kick its ass.
The good news is you're found the HOW. KTC will give u all the tools you need to build your quit rock solid one day at a time.

He already knows WHY. Deep down, he knows, or else he wouldn't be here.
Otherwise, I agree with Phil.

You joined yesterday and got a good bit of help, advice, and how-to's via this thread and through PMs, yet you still haven't posted roll.
What's the reason?

Posting roll is cumbersome at first, but becomes second nature. I post every morning using my phone, and usually before I have had my coffee. Anything I can do in the morning before coffee can be done by a trained rat.
You can do this.
Quit with you.

Not to beat a dead horse, but need to get on and post, play with it until you can post from phone.

Awesome. Welcome to the mad house. You'll find all the support you need here. Remember that being here means that you will not try to quit. You WILL quit. We've all been through the bullshit that the early days of quit brings on. You'll survive it. I dipped a can a day for 15 years. This site taught me that it was possible to make it. Reach out if you need support. Again, welcome and congrats on your choice to reclaim your life.

Got it figured out, it'd be way easier if they just said to "quote, cut, paste, add name" I got this haha

Welcome to quit. Glad you figured out roll. It is the hallmark of a successful quit. Post early in the day, it is a promise to yourself and to your group that you will not use today. It is that simple, but make no mistake it is NOT easy. You must fight, resist, yell, scream, cuss, cry, whatever!! You must do anything it takes not to use for that day. Make it to the end of the day and you have won. I quit with you today. I am at 240 wins and zero losses. I have quit many time before, but never with this logic and with this accountability. You can do this.

Damn this is a good site, more support than I could have imagined, and you guys hounding me about posting roll will be pleased to see that I haven't missed a day since I figured it out. Day 20 and climbing ;)
