Hello everyone,
I am Cody and have recently decided to quit dipping. A little about me, I am a member of the Air Force and am from Georgia. I decided to quit dipping after seeing the negative side effects caused by dipping and I really didn't like having something like that have control over my life. It is a struggle right now and I want nothing more to put one in, but I have a lot of support of family and friends along with yall as well.

Welcome Wcv17,
Post roll with your group. Make your promise to quit today.
Get up early do it tomorrow. Get candy, mints, fake chew or whatever it takes to not use. Drink WATER!!! lots of water until you pee like you have a girl bladder.
One day at a time.

Welcome Cody. Lots of good info on here. Take it a day at a time and give it absolutely everything you've got. I'm in GA as well. PM on the way text me if you ever need some help

Cody, welcome to KTC.
To get started, learn about how we quit by reading the items in the welcome center:
forum/55560/ (http://forum.killthecan.org/forum/55560/)
We post a roll call here. It's the promise to ourselves and our brothers that we will not use nicotine. We do this every day, One Day At A Time (ODAAT).
It's going to be a struggle, one unlike you have experienced before. We poisoned our bodies for a long time with one hell of an addictive drug. This will not be easy, but you absolutely can succeed. Post roll Every Damn Day (EDD), connect with folks from the site, and you will gain control.
Stay strong bud, I quit with you today. I am sending you my number in a PM (top right corner), do not be afraid to use it.

Posting your name on roll call is the most important thing. Get it done ASAP. Then do it again tomorrow. You will see the importance after a day or two of doing so.
Welcome to quit.

Welcome friend. Buckle up, it is going to be a rough ride for a few days, but it will get better very soon. You can do this. Reach out if you need anything. As others have mentioned, post roll call- your promise to not use nicotine for just today. Don't worry about tomorrow, just quit today.
You got this.
Proud to be quit with you today,
30

Start here, in the Welcome Center (http://forum.killthecan.org/forum/55560/) - it will help orient you to what is going on.
If you are wondering how to quit, read this (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/1009150/1/?x=90#new). Our process is simple - post roll, keep your promise, and quit for today. You have to quit for YOU (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/1007546/1/?x=90) and pay whatever price necessary. (http://forum.killthecan.org/single/?p=8282680&t=10225414)
Quit One Day At A Time (ODAAT), and QLF all day long (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/1008467/1/). Visit the site a lot, it will get you through the crap. You have to make this quit about YOUR desire to quit; for me it was my independence followed by about a hundred other reasons. I used this post (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/1009709/1/?x=90#new), this survivor story (http://www.outdoortexan.com/mycancer.htm), and wrote a much less eloquent version of this letter (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/1008441/1/?x=90#new). The basic question is this: Are you man (or woman) enough to quit? (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/1008056/1/?x=90)
Your spouse/significant other (http://www.killthecan.org/community/spousal-support/) should probably read this. . . just don't let them find out about each other though 'Crazy'
You should literally drink GALLONS of water and will probably want to look at these helps too (http://www.killthecan.org/additional-resources/minimizing-the-most-common-side-effects-to-quitting-chewing/). Those tricks will help you minimize the withdrawal symptoms (http://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/symptoms-of-quitting-dip-chew/). I found these smokeless alternatives (http://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/smokeless-alternatives/)helpful to beat the mind games (specifically Hooch/Hooch Spitfire for its consistency and Smokey Mountain for its availability; make your own decision though!). Some quitters are legit hard core and quit with iron will... but I was a baby quitter with hooch and a KTC Chatroom (http://chat.killthecan.org/) iv drip.
The key is to stay quit. You may have to quit for the next minute, then the next minute, but the trick is to break the quit down and keep it alive.
How to post Roll Call. (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/1003072/1/) Post early and remember that it doesn't have to be perfect - the only way to really screw roll is not to be on it.
Stay quit. Post Roll (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/1011414/1/?x=90#new).

wcv, the only way this works is if you post your name on roll call. I posted today this morning, and trust me brother, the promise I made to this site and the quit brothers I have made is keeping me quit. It is a powerful way to stay quit, and I'd like you to join me. It's a big step, and it's gonna suck, but man it is so worth it.

Agreed. You have made the right decision. Now it is time to make a commitment to that decision. That is a critical step. Posting roll is the commitment to all of us that you are quit.
You can do this!

Welcome Cody! I'm now on Day 117 here - and looking back I KNOW I would not have made it this far without this site. Take in as much as you can, read everything you can, POST ROLL DAILY (no exceptions). Reach out to other guys in your group via the board or chat and trade numbers to text. I know this may all sound crazy, I know I felt that I was stronger than these whiny addicts preaching all this stuff, but it will definitely get you through the tough times.
Take one day at a time - wake up and post roll (your promise that you won't use today) - keep repeating. If you need anything send me a PM and I'll give you my number.
P.S. - Walmart sells Smokey Mountain. I used it for maybe a month - it's an "excellent" fake chew... And I was able to naturally wean myself off of it. The first 3 days are the worst, so keep reading and reaching out!
You got this!

Post roll. Now. That's your word of honor you will not use nicotine in any way, shape or form today.
Keep your word.

Great job. Now you are quitting like everybody here. One day at a time. Post roll everyday. Make that promise and then get after it. I wish I can tell you it will be easy....it won't. The first few weeks are a shitstorm. Then it gets easier but harder in a way, because you get sick of fighting off craves...even though they are weaker and less frequent. But in my life quitting dip has been one of the greatest decisions I have made. It will be for you too. Good luck.
