Title: For real this time...
Post by: RickKendall on August 27, 2013, 04:31:00 PM
Hey y'all,

Finally threw out my misguided sense of pride and decided to post on here. I have visited this site many times over the past ~2 years, and felt like if I ever got to a point where I needed to actually post, something would be wrong. And here I am...I'm a 21 year old college student, I started dipping Grizzly Winter when I turned 15 years old - I don't need to lecture y'all on how bad of an idea that was at that age. Now, 6 years later, I've tried to "quit" numerous times, it would last a month, maybe 2, but to no avail overall. Sore spots, bad looks from the dentist, the occasional failure in the bedroom, you all know the drill...and at a much younger age than I'm sure many of the visitors to this site are. I've been on some nicotine gum for a while now but honestly I just need to throw away this horrid habit that has in essence, taken over my life, especially when I know it's horrible for me. I know the drill of how "quitting" works, just need a bit of guidance from people who have succeeded in what I cannot seem to do. I appreciate it.

-Andrew

Best place in the world to come to for help. There is no easy fix, so get over that in a hurry. I too started dipping at 15 and continued for the next 25 years. Currently on day #5 of my quit. Lots and lots of bad ass quitters on here. Start digging around and hitting them up. Holler at me any time.

Rick, if you are still poking around, post in Roll Call if you are serious.. Do it every day. Take the time to check in.

the nicotine gum is just keeping the pain on for longer. Get rid of it and go cold turkey. You need some oral fix get Trident, something. But no nicotine it the way to do it. endure the suckiness and it will be over a lot quicker than putting money in the nicorette pot.

Keep hanging around and stay quit, I am quit with you today. So you aren't alone.

I was a grizzly winter ninja dipper for about 10 yrs.

And yes all of the above. !!

Great choice, Rick. But "quitting" sounds like a multi-step process. Ours only has one step....quit. You're right, you do already know how to not put shit in your face. And staying quit is easy too...you just post your promise each day in your Quit Group and make absofuckinlutely sure that you keep your word.

Click on the Welcome Center link above and start reading. Welcome to the fight. You got this, brother!

Way to post roll my friend. Keep your promise today by keeping the poison out of your pie hole. Wake up tomorrow and repeat. One day at a time and you can have back a lot of what the poison has stolen. Never again for any reason and you can keep it. Need anything give me a pm.
