Today is Day 1. I've dipped on and off, mostly on, for the past 9 years. Mostly Copenhagen. Long cut, then the devilishly tasty Wintergreen, and pouches. I'm here to quit...forever. I never want to go back to it. I have problems remembering Day 1 once I make it past the first couple of weeks...not today of course...today sucks. I've bought a bunch of Trident, drinking water...I've made it into the afternoon, so that's an accomplishment.
Question for any of you who know how to do this: How do I add my name to the June future HOF group? I've been lurking on the page, but haven't figured out yet how to do it.
Thanks.

Welcome Wade! Day 1, oh the suck has set in, and it shall remain over you like a cloud for a few days.
I will tell you the same thing I tell everyone, the accountability will help you a ton. I dont want to let anyone down, I dont want to be punked so I will just stay quit. Go to the welcome center (pink button top of the screen) it has instructions for posting roll. Once you figure it out it is really easy.
Again welcome and know I quit with you today.
-
Great choice wade! Only comment don't worry about forever, concentrate on today!
-
Listen up... This stuff will kill your life in some fashion. Whether its a marriage, job or cancer. Plain and simple grab your balls, hold on and keep your drive going. Post roll and repeat it everyday. It's all about integrity. I am at 24 days and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that it does get easier!
PM me and I can give you my number and welcome!

Congratulations on a great decision Wade.
There comes a time in one's life where enough is enough. You can be free from the bondage of the can.
Welcome to the site, the wisdom to quit lies within and so does the support. But only you can do the work. Roll up your sleeves man, it is time to punch in.
There is a short video on "how" to post roll somewhere on the site. This might be it right here.
index.php?showtopic=50 (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=50)
I strongly suggest grabbing some numbers from your quit group. Numbers have saved my quit more than once.

Congratulations on quitting and welcome to ktc. Just take it one day at a time and Post roll early every single day. Reach out to your quit brothers and sisters and get some digits and use them anytime you need to. Their are a ton of bad ass quitters on here that will drop anything to help a quitter in need. If you need anything at all feel free to pm me.

Welcome, Wade and to the June Quit Group!
One day at a time. Just like the 1k day guys, just like the 30 day guys.
-
Day by day, that's all you can do. Do it for you and no one else. Go look at some of the pics where dippers/chewers had to have shit removed because of this crap.
Day by day, hold on for the ride because the first couple of days are a bitch. I'm not going to sugar coat it.
Don't look back just keep pressing forward.
-
You've taken the first step. Never look back. Never again.... for any reason!
-
You can DO this one day at a time!!! We can help!!!
-
Thanks brothers. I really really appreciate the support. Yesterday was a straight up bitch. Today is no easier. I did manage to get some sleep last night, so I'm happy for that. I'm focusing on just making it through today...tomorrow is not here yet. I've printed out some good quotes I've seen here and I'm putting them on my wall right above my computer screen. I will not cave...not an option.
-
Nice job Wade, keep up the great work. Don't forget how you are feeling right now, you are ridding your body of a toxic agent. It feels like shit doesn't it? If we do this right, we will never have to go through it again. I quit with you today. Lets post roll and do it again tomorrow.

Watch out your just getting started!!! You can't expect 9 years of 'mostly on' dipping to magically leave.

To post Roll call
Just find the most recent Roll post in your Group. It is the long list of names followed by number of days quit and maybe a short comment, like
Skoal Monster -1516 Your Moms so dumb she sits on the TV and watches the couch.
Hit Quote
Add your name to the bottom of the list of Quitters.
Highlight the entire content of the bottom box where you just added your name.and RIGHT CLICK IT.
a Drop down menu shall appear, hit CUT. not copy.
Go to the top box and PASTE IT IN.
Don't spend all day writing a witty comment or you will "bump" quitters that cut and paste while you are composing your textbook. Just post roll and get out.
Also did I mention don't use copy? use CUT.
Got it?

Out in the woods all weekend with the Army. Clean and free baby! Lots of seeds, water, Smokey Mountain, and plain quit!!! Thanks to all my brothers for the awesome support.

Way to quit. Keep on kicking that monkey's ass Wade.

Wicked dip dream last night involving Copenhagen Long Cut Wintergreen. I was freaking out...in the dream...dreading having come here and tell my brothers that I let them down. Once I realized it was a dream I was ecstatic!!!
Haha! Kickin' that monkey's ass.

I had a dream that I smoked a hookah and then realized I had just used nicotine and flipped out! When I woke up I felt relieved that it was just a dream. My other nic dreams were of smelling it, taking a small dip or just buying a can. This one was me not realizing I had just used nicotine. It rattled me up pretty good...
The Nic Bitch can kiss my ass! 'arse'

I was just telling Evil_won yesterday morning, I had nic dreams with Cig's. I have never even smoked cigs! Old Nic bitch trying to open other doors since the chew door is locked.
Wade, I am proud of you another fine example of quit. I am used to you texting me at all hours of the dat and night, you just keep doing it buddy.
I quit with you today!

I was so happy it was a dream. Such a relief when I woke up and realized that.
I've found that establishing a text bond with my quit brothers is definitely helping to keep me accountable. I would also guess that it's helping to keep the guys I text accountable as well.
I quit with you all today!

I was about halfway through the day yesterday, working on building cement forms in my back yard, getting a nice sunburn that I can feel today sitting in my office chair, when I realized that 49 days is 7 weeks. I thought, "Wow, that's cool. I've actually gotten somewhere with this." Then I started thinking..."I've been nicotine free for nearly 1/7th of an entire year!" That is really cool shit. I'm so stoked about this. I dug up my Intro here and was just reading through it...looking at what I posted on Day 3 and Day 4, etc. Things have definitely improved. I still have urges, but they're not nearly as bad. Every once in a while I get a bad one that jumps into my head out of nowhere, but they're "dealable". The night before last I had a dream about Copenhagen pouches. I was definitely happy to find out it was a dream. But, as I said, life is definitely good. I'm really looking forward to how good it's going to be at 100 days, then 150, 250, 500, etc. Can't wait to get there!

I'm just happy to be here. Here being my 73d Day with no nicotine input into my system. 73d Day without bathing my entire mouth, throat, and stomach with carcinogens. 73d Day of not trying to find a spitter for the drive to work. 73d Day of racking up Trident gum's stock prices...haha. 73d Day of the rest of my life.
I quit with all of you today.

Mondelez International (MDLZ) - maker of Trident - stock is up about 7.5% over the last 73 days. Sure, some of that is unquestionably due to boffo sales of Oreos and the ever-popular Tang (who the fuck drinks Tang?), but I'd say most of that uptick is on you. This multinational conglomerate thanks you, personally, because this multinational conglomerate cares...

I was about halfway through the day yesterday, working on building cement forms in my back yard, getting a nice sunburn that I can feel today sitting in my office chair, when I realized that 49 days is 7 weeks. I thought, "Wow, that's cool. I've actually gotten somewhere with this." Then I started thinking..."I've been nicotine free for nearly 1/7th of an entire year!" That is really cool shit. I'm so stoked about this. I dug up my Intro here and was just reading through it...looking at what I posted on Day 3 and Day 4, etc. Things have definitely improved. I still have urges, but they're not nearly as bad. Every once in a while I get a bad one that jumps into my head out of nowhere, but they're "dealable". The night before last I had a dream about Copenhagen pouches. I was definitely happy to find out it was a dream. But, as I said, life is definitely good. I'm really looking forward to how good it's going to be at 100 days, then 150, 250, 500, etc. Can't wait to get there!
Way to go Wade! Every plus one get's a little better right? When my phone goes off at 5am, I know it's you, with a QLF or NAFAR. keep going my quit brother.
You too brother! It's a great day to be a quitter!
Welcome to quit Wade. It is nice to see you enjoying some of the benefits. Keep your guard up man. Guard this quit with your life. the nic bitch is always prowling, looking for a quit to steal. Ready to pounce you when you are at your weakest. Be ready!!!
I'm just happy to be here. Here being my 73d Day with no nicotine input into my system. 73d Day without bathing my entire mouth, throat, and stomach with carcinogens. 73d Day of not trying to find a spitter for the drive to work. 73d Day of racking up Trident gum's stock prices...haha. 73d Day of the rest of my life.
I quit with all of you today.
Mondelez International (MDLZ) - maker of Trident - stock is up about 7.5% over the last 73 days. Sure, some of that is unquestionably due to boffo sales of Oreos and the ever-popular Tang (who the fuck drinks Tang?), but I'd say most of that uptick is on you.

If it's that kind of Tang, then I'm an astronaut every day.

I don't know what the hell's going on, but the 70s have been weird. I'm having crazy dreams. I keep waking up at random hours in the middle of the night and tossing and turning for an hour. Weird. Hopefully this is associated with quit and not old age (I'm not even that old).
QLF! Day 77.

What up wade? The 70's to me were worse than the first 3 days. I don't know what happened, the bottom fell out. I was riding the elevator, on my way to the 1st floor,, everything going good. All the sudden,,,, the floor just opened up and I fell straight down.. Felt like I landed on day 1. You know what,, it wasn't craves really, it was like my brain stopped working for a bit. Felt to me like my life wasn't worth squat.
Wade,, everything will return to normal in a minute,, just embrace it for what it is,, part of the healing process. You'll be back to your perky, quitting, great little self before you know it. I quit with you bro...

The thing about addiction is that we can't regulate our usage. Physically, it's impossible. There is no in "weening" without pain as nicotine use rises to push away the withdrawal. We have control over whether we use or not however. We can choose to be a user or a quitter. We don't have a choice whether we are addicts though.
One of my favorites...

Danny O, a lot of people around here like to say that we were all "slaves to nicotine". But make sure to keep it crystal clear in the back of your mind...
We were all actually slaves to our own DECISION to feed our addictions. Every last one of us is an ADDICT, and we always will be. You, me, RedTrain, all of us...we're addicts, plain and simple. The problem isn't somewhere "out there"...the problem is and always was US.
But in exactly the same way, we are set free by our DECISION not to use nicotine. We're still addicts, but we don't use nicotine anymore. Freedom comes at a cost, though. For a while, it's gonna suck. EVERYBODY goes through the Suck on the way to nicotine-free. It's uncomfortable, both physically and mentally. It makes us feel like losers, junkies, shit we hate...reminds us how completely fucking weak we've been all along, all the lying (at least to ourselves), all the expense, all the damage, all the nastiness.
But every consecutive day we stay clean, we gain a little more dignity, and a little more health. And the Suck will pass. So for now, don't think about anything except staying clean today, just this one day. The past is the past, we can't get it back. And the future is too much to take on right now.
Just stay clean today. We've got your back.
Good shit!

Yeah that is good, thanks for bringing it up!

I'm at the high school football game tonight. My kid's playing corner. My wife sat next to a friend of hers, and I sat in between her and another couple. The other couple lives right down the road from us, husband has a big old lipper in, as usual, looks like about half a can stuffed in his lip. He's spitting away, watching the action. End of the 1st quarter I see him pull out his can, toss out his old dip and finger bang that can, telling his wife, "Puttin' a new one in for good luck." Her response was priceless. "It won't be good luck when your jaw falls off." Fucking A! Nice job wife!
I quit will all of you today. Never again for any reason!
186 and counting...

Day 225 - Cleaning and check up and the Dentists office. Awesome check up. Not a single hint of periodontal disease. Hardly any plaque build-up.
Amazing how quitting dip, brushing your fucking teeth and flossing will keep your teeth in your mouth.
I quit with all of you today.
