So I decided to check out the chat room on the site and got talked into flushing my remaining can of grizzly down the toilet. Was that my plan when I visited this evening? No, but I am glad everyone in the chat room tonight was on me about quitting now.
I have conjured up every excuse possible for putting off my quit. I did that because there was no accountability, now by joining a quit group I will be held accountable.
I started dipping right after Basic Training in 2001. I made it through 2 trips to Iraq, 1 trip to Afghanistan and a divorce and I felt dip was the only thing that was always there for me. Looking back though, dip was the only thing that was slowly killing me. I survived 3 deployments and made it through a divorce while deployed. If I can make it through those times I sure as hell can make it through life without Grizzly.
I know this is going to be hard because I have tried to quit before but this time is different, I am done with looking for excuses to continue dipping. I look forward to getting remarried this year and starting a family. I refuse to continue to let this addiction control me. So here's to day one, one of many.

Damn this fucking great. I love seeing new quit come on board. Rest assured jvest, you will get all the support you need here. And we'll be watching. :ph43r:
It's late and I wanna write more, but more tomorrow. Must sleep.

I like it. No planned quit, dumped the shit on the spot. Awesome. That's just about the only way to do it. Don't look back. Even awesomer is that you protected our country while committing suicide. Makes me feel really, really safe. Just kidding.
Don't take it personally, but other than the soldier part, your story is blah blah. The reason I say that is to get you to read (READ) every other intro for the past five years. We're all basically the same. We stopped for a day, week, or year, but that pretty can of dip always won.
We win here. Post roll every damn day and meet everybody on a personal level, especially those in your quit group. There is no accountability early on if you are only accountable to you. You may never see a face, but you will grow to love these quitters. DO THIS NOW!!! NEVER LOOK BACK!!!
Check your inbox. You'll see my number and you are required to call it if you ever want to cave. That's the rules. I didn't make them. I just follow them.

Bad ass man. You've got this. Stay on top o your quit. Don't get lax. Read everything this site has to offer.
-
Great choice, jest. Click on the Welcome Center link above and read all you can. Post roll and live free, brother!
-
Dude! Was good to see you in chat and good to see a fellow muzo in the house! You wanna chat guitar or anything else... PM me. I wont shut up for hours. Hell, PM me anyway and give me your phone number... I'll do the same. You've got great advice from some great quitters... Follow it. Quit on bro...

First, thanks for your service. You've experienced a lot and dealt with challenges that have prepared you for this war. Each day is a new battle and as you rack up those daily wins the ultimately victory becomes closer. Read read read!
-
Great to meet you in chat! I'm quitting with you today!
-
Glad to be quit with you!!! This site can and will save your life, just have to use all the resources that are available to you. If you need a number or anything at all feel free to pm me.
-
First thanks for your serice! Second that was bad assed last night; way to take the plunge. Read, read, read. Read this forum as often as you can to get through the tough spots. Read and print cancer stories and pics, print out a copy of the contract to quit, trade phone numbers to help you out, and have a plan for when you are at your weakest and the nic bitch comes a wisperin' in your ear.
-
Thank you everyone for the support! This is just as hard as my previous attempts at quitting but this is the first time I have had this much support and encouragement. I plan on doing nothing this weekend but reading posts and fighting cravings.
-
Congrats on taking this step. Just over a year ago I made the leap and 372 tobacco free days later I am a new man. You will be be too! Post roll and engage with your quit group and the days will fly by....
-
Awesome! Thanks for your service. Not a lot to add other than reach out if you need anything. It takes a Bad ass to do this so you shouldn't have any problems since you have already proven your bad assery. This process is hell on earth, my suck was miserably bad. Hang in here let me know if you need anything
-
quit on man...just reach out...and print off the contract on the home page...when you are craving which will be frequently, read the contract, look at the pictures of the cancer pictures, go for a run...didn't read if you were married or not, but if you are not, go out and get some strange...if you are married, tell your wife you are going to require a bj every time you get a crave (damn i just thought of that....i need to tell my own wife that!). Anyhow, you got this...
-
ivest - keep us posted. Post in this thread every once in a while to let us know how you're doing. I'm not a veteran or anything (day 68 today), but I've seen fire and I've seen rain (who the fuck hasn't, James Taylor? Seriously, what a fucking stupid lyric), and I know the craves can be a bitch from Hell but its all relative and its all manageable. If the fucking idiots on this site (myself included, hell probably top five in terms of idiocy) can get through to the other side, so can you. The craves and shit are a bunch of fucking mind game bullshit. Stay quit, and I swear to your god that you will fucking love the outcome.

IVEST - congratulations for making this decision. I quit with you.
-
Again thanks for the support everyone. Yesterday was a relatively good day baring a few craves which I shot down immediately with sunflower seeds and a little strumming of my guitar. I know this is constant battle and I refuse to let my guard down, I have gloves on and I'm coming out swinging.

Guitar,, hmmm. I dibble dabble a little myself. Great escape brother. The guitar was actually a big trigger for me. If i was practicing i had a lipper in. As i found out, and you will,, we don't need that lipper for the guitar. That poison didn't help while i was flatpicking a little blue grass. Never helped while i was strumming a church tune. Never once did it help me learn songs faster. That lipper never once helped me while i was putting some new riffs together.
As time passes you will discover that the poison actually helped you with nothing. Go ahead and get that roll posted early and put my name right beside yours. I quit with you today my friend.

I bet Peaceful Easy Feeling by the Eagles sounds real good and much better from a non-nicotene guitar.
well done and keep moving forward

I don't know who the fuck you think you are using a deviation of my user name, but.....just kidding. It looks like you have a good attitude towards the whole KTC mentality. Keep it up brother, it only gets better.
I had never played guitar without a dip in my mouth until 348 days ago. Now, I will never play guitar again with a dip in my mouth....and it is fucking AWESOME! I still play like shit, but it's better. On the inside.
Okay, enough mushy shit. Post up in October 2012 with us, and you will get some unbelievable quit support. Some of the most BADASS quitters on the site. Check your INBOX for a PM with my number....let me know if I can help with your quit Brother....QLAFM

Well my name is first name is Josh, hence the J. My last name is Vest, hence the article of clothing part :D
I am in the Sept quit group and I don't plan on falling off the wagon. I must admit though yesterday was pure hell. My lady friend asked what size plate I would like during dinner yesterday and my response was "I don't fucking care, whatever size the fucking food fits on"
She had been through this before, me trying to quit. She just said "okay" and walked away. She fully supports me and is grateful that I have found this site. I tell her everyday about the outreach I have received since coming here. I truly do appreciate every person who has messaged me or left me some words of encouragement.

Right on Josh! Bring the rage here though, dish it out in your intro, in your group or in live chat. Your lady friend shouldn't need to own your shit, she didn't put it in your face for you - you did that. So did all of us, so you're in pretty good company. Just remember before you blow your top about a plate or new towels or whatever is up next - tell her IN A NICE WAY that you value and respect her opinion and you don't have strong feelings about it. then come here and bitch about it! Keep it up Josh.
