This will be the 4 or 5th time I have tried to quit. I started with the Camel Snus pouches and evolved in to Skoal Wintergreen. Got sick of that and moved to Grizzly. I have dipped for 6 years now. This is hard. I have always been a strong person. Strong minded and motivated to do well in life in general. This stuff makes me feel weaker then I have ever felt before. My mom and dad always smoked when I was a kid. In the car, in the house, outside, inside, pretty much everywhere. I always told my self I would never do this and couldn't understand why they couldn't, or wouldn't quit. I totally get it now. My addiction doesn't bother other people in the way that they are joining in my dip as compared to second hand smoke. It does in ways only known to me. I am ashamed to be in public and asking for a cup, putting it in and letting everyone see me spitting into a cup. Its gross. I am 30 years old and I have a great job, a beautiful girlfriend and everything is going really well. She smoked for 14 years and just quit one day and it will be a year in April. Im proud of her and I want her to be proud of me. She supports me either way because she knows how hard it is quit this addiction. I am on day four. The longest I have made it before is 22 days. I would rather be on 22 days of quitting then on my 22nd day of cancer. I have to tell myself why waste my life away feeding this addiction that the tobacco companies have purposely placed there for me and everyone to fail. Fuck them and Fuck dipping! Im glad I found this group and I know this will be the time where I gain my freedom from nicotine. It will be tough but I can persevere!

Time to grow up now. Take out your dippy pacifier. If you are gonna be a part of the bad ass quitters here, you better take this shit seriously. We don't take pussy quitters lightly. Post roll every fucking day, not only a promise to us, but as a promise to yourself. Read all the shit you can on the website, especially about mouth cancer, that shit is real and you never know which dip will cause your cells to turn evil. Reach out to other quitters, get numbers, because that will give you tools to reach out to when the craves come, so that caving is not an option. Pussies and cavers crawl back and apologize. Bad ass quitters reach out for help. I'm sending you a PM. Check your Inbox (1).

You know what they say..."The 6th time's a charm".
Seriously, Kubiak is 100% correct. There are a lot of bad as mama jammas on this site that can show you the way to quit, FOR GOOD. All you have to do is follow the program.
254 days ago I came in hear like a little bitch ass pussy. I was convinced I was that one guy who couldn't quit. Bullshit. I wasn't special. Nobody is. Anybody can quit if they really want it, and are willing to go Andy Dufresne and crawl through 3 football fields full of shit to freedom.
Good news for you is, you don't have to do it alone. We might be some bad ass mofos, but we get off on helping others quit. We are willing to share out secrets and experiences in order to help total strangers quit. Kind of fucked up, when you think about it, isn't it? I wouldn't wish nic addiction on my worst enemy.
Like I said, 254 days ago I crawled in here like a spineless jellyfish. Today I stand tall and proud as hell, and would like to help you do the same. Need anything, EVER PM me and I'll do all I can to help you out.

Please keep in mind that your POST is a promise not to use nicotine for one day. A promise that should be made immediately upon waking up each day. It is not a status update. Not that we don't care when the quit is going well, its just that there is a HUGE difference between checking in and making a promise. Two entirely different things altogether. A LOT of newbies incorrectly use posting roll as a status update. The sooner you learn the true meaning of posting roll the better.

You are in the May 13' Quit Group.

I am only on day 5 and it feels like my mouth is going to fall off haha. My bottom jaw quivers and I noticed the I start to studder when I talk sometimes. I have knocked out a full bag of seeds. This is hell! This will for sure be one of the hardest things I have done. Im glad I found this site for support. Anyone lend a helping hand and give me some advice on ways you guys got through your first days?
-
I've just began to quit as well. I am finding that if I chew like 2 or 3 sticks of gum, and tuck it into your lip, it can kind of fill that oral fixation void that the dip used to have. I chewed longcut though, so I hate having the taste of mint in my lip, but it's better than throwing a lipper in. Maybe give that a shot, if you haven't already? Congrats on making it 5 days, already!

I got through my first few days by embracing the suck.
We've all been there, and the reason the KTC exists is so that you don't have to do this on your own. I made some friends with some guys going through the same shit I was, and I made some friends with some guys that had gone through the shit I was currently navigating.
The best advice I can give you is to drink a TON of water, limit your caffeine (I guarantee you're jittery enough), and exercise to push the poison through physically. Mentally, I would suggest looking up top there to the black banner and finding that salmon colored WELCOME CENTER and starting there. Read up on what we do here, why we do it, and how we do it. And, then post your roll in May 2013.
5 days is badass man. What you do to stay quit so far?
EDIT: Sorry man. Thought you were a new quitter. I did merge your intros though so we can keep these together.

I remember my first days quit and know that one day at a time got me past the physical withdrawal. I spent several hours each of the days on chat here, and know that helped, just hanging out with other people who know what quitting felt like. I just posted my 50th day and am amazed that I'm here, still quit, because I choose to be. I am quit with you today. You will do this, and you will learn about yourself and how your mind works and trys to trick you too. I couldn't spell right for at least 2-3 weeks into my quit. fingers had tremor sometimes. Fake chew helped, but at first I put peach herbal tealeaves (moistened) into my lip and that helped.

Thank you! Its a start haha. Yeah I dipped Wintergreen and the wintergreen gum us helpful. The Smokey Mountain fake dip has helped too. Takes care of the really bad craving when I drive.

Thanks guys
I have just leaned back in my chair (I work in a office) a take about 5 or 6 deep breaths and it really relaxes me. I need to start exercising again. I know it would help. Thanks for the advice. Keep it coming!

I personally had to take some time and work from home. All I actually did was sit on KTC all day and night. You have to "Embrace the Suck!" I was told that during my first couple of days and I didnt get it either!! I was just pissed I couldn't post roll without getting bumped!!! Embracing it is accepting it. Because if you dont remember how much this sucks right now. You are in danger of repeating it!! Everytime I think back to days 1-10 I get pissed off!!!! How could i do that to myself for 18 years!!!!! But that is why I can stand here today and confidantly tell you after 115 days that I will never touch that shit ever again!!! And I will do whatever I have to to prevent people from making the same mistakes I made. We have all been there!!! Read my HOF speech or my intro. Links below. It will show a scared as shit addict that I am back when I was in the suck!!! Stay Quit!!

Do we need to talk about your other addiction??

Hey Danny,
Just let go. Give in to the quit. Craves are uncomfortable but they won't kill you. Quitting this isn't much harder than rolling out of bed once you decide you really want to. Making that decision, with the intention to live by it, regardless of what future temptations and rationalizations come your way is the key.
Accept the fact this is going to suck until it doesn't. Understand that your going to be temporarily uncomfortable ( manic, insane, angry, irritable, sad, anxious). That is the price your going to pay to earn your freedom and perhaps save your life.
Temporary, but not fatal, physical and mental withdrawl pain, in exchange for your life. Seems like a no brainer from where I sit.
The easiest way to be successful is to READ all you can here. go to other resources and read it all. Then go to cancer and quitter stories and read it. Read each day until you find something to help you through that day. Then repeat tomorrow. You can do this. It is not impossible to quit. Put your fists up and lets get this done,
