Hey everyone, I'm brand new to the community here and I quit just a day over a week ago today. 8 days ago I arrived in Finland to visit family and had with me in my carry on what would be my last can of Grizzly. I had been a long cut user for about 5-6 years and started using the pouches instead over the last few months. Had a few pouches left when I arrived at my parents house, and sure enough by the end of my first day there it was all gone. I've been planning this to be my quitting time for awhile now, as chew isn't even available in Finland so I figured even though I might want a new can, it will be impossible to get. I go back home to the US in another couple of weeks, and plan to never buy a can again. The first few days with the physical withdrawal were pretty tough, I actually got a feeling of a really bad cold, but with ibuprofen that initially passed. Now I'm spending lots of time exercising and in the sauna to help out even more, and found this great group while researching how quitting affects others. Looking forward to interacting with all of you!

Welcome. That sounds like a good plan. Go to the November '16 group, and post roll. That's your daily promise to not use nicotine. You'll need it when you get back to the US.

Glad you found us. Now post roll with the November HOF group and make your daily promise not to use nicotine in any form. That's what we do here. It works.

My wife has family from Helsinki. Get rid of the nic bitch forever, never ever go back for any reason. Welcome to KTC!

It's time to get on roll. That's how it works around here.

Thanks guys I'll make sure to start posting roll when I get up in the mornings. So far I'm feeling great after the quit day and don't see a reason to go back to it ever!

Don't wait till in the morning! Post roll now, so I can quit with you. This is so much easier with all of us helping you. The only way that can happen is with your name on roll. I quit with you! Remember post roll Early Edd ODAAT!

Is there an easy way to post roll on mobile? I don't have a computer with me to do it by, and the roll instructions I looked at seemed directed towards computer users. My quits still going strong, I've just been traveling a lot and only able to use my phone when Wi-Fi is available, as the foreign data charges are insanely high lol. 6 days until return to US soil!

Posted my first roll under November 2016 quit group! Not sure if I did it correctly though so if someone checks it out for me and let's me know if it looks good I'd appreciate that.

Glad you came back and posted up! That's the way quits are built around here! Wake up, piss, post roll, honor your post, gather contact information from your fellow quitters, rinse, repeat. One Day at a Time. Just remember, we're all walking the same highway of quit. It CAN be done. YOU will do it!

Thanks Dan I will for sure! Might be as soon as this Saturday perhaps, that's when I'll return to the States and be faced with dip at every gas station I come across lol. I won't buy any definitely but no doubt will I be thinking about all the drives I've made with one in.

Thanks for the support man I appreciate it! With all you guys to help out I'm confident I'm never dipping again!

Just wanna write this down for future reference lol. So I've read about other's dip dream stories and didn't think I'd ever have one, however just about 2 weeks into quitting I had my first dream about dip last night. It was just me and a friend from high school, one of the guys who are among the most prominent dippers I know, and part of the reason I began dipping. He threw a dip in and I tossed in a Smokey Mountain, even though I've never tried that up to this point lol. I remember a feeling of temptation, followed by guilt, as he asked me if I wanted a dip of 'the real stuff.' In my dream I alllmooost accepted his offer, until I thought about how long I've gone without it. Then I asked him instead if he'd want a dip of my Smokey Mountain lol. I'm happy my dream self was able to refuse dip that was right in front of my face, and that makes me more confident that when I return from Finland to the States and am faced with cans at every gas station that I'll be able to keep my mind off it and not even entertain the idea of buying a can. For anyone reading this, thanks for the read, and if you have any dip dreams like that I'd be glad to hear about em! Always interesting to hear about people's experiences in the dream world lol.

The dreams are awesome. They remind you that you are winning!
Mine went on for a long time. Maybe even a couple of years. Who cares how long? Winning is a great thing!
Enjoy Finland!

Haha you guys got that right about the dreams! Tomorrow is my last day in my home country and then Saturday right when I wake up its time to drive to the airport and then a 9 hr flight followed by a 2 hr flight until I'm back home!

I will be thanks Pab! Toughest part will be the 9 hr flight if I'm having trouble sleeping, on the way over I threw in a pouch a couple times while watching the movies in flight and time flew by. Now with the sore mouth and all I just hope I'll be able to sleep through most of that flight. Just gonna pull an all nighter tomorrow night and hope the tiredness will bring me the sleep I'm hoping for come flight time lol. Once I'm back home and have to drive, it's straight to seeds and Smokey Mountain, which I'm not even really intending on using if I can help it.

Thanks man I'm determined never to touch the stuff anymore. I'm 23 and started dipping before 18 with my friends and it just became a daily thing. Wanna stop for good before it's been a decade or more of dipping and I have something worse then slightly receded gums.

Safe Travels, Friend. "See" you on the forum tomorrow. I can only wish at this point that I had been as smart as you when I was twenty three!!!
