Welcome. Whatever gets you thinking about quitting is good stuff. But I suggest that you do a lot of reading on this site. You'll find about a million other reasons to quit. All just as good as the one mentioned, and all just as earthshaking. Those reasons have been obvious to everyone except you for (possibly) years and years. But the nicotine bitch has been good at distracting you. Take advantage of this lucid moment. There is a good chance that in a couple days you'll start to realize the "that was just a silly dream." Then before you know it, you're packing a fatty because "you've been so disciplined the last couple days, that you deserve something special (dip)." Don't fall for it.
Stick close to this site for a while, and those that have walked your path.
EDIT: As soon as you know what it means to post roll (check the WELCOME CENTER), do as loot says and get in the JULY 13 quit group and post your promise. We'll be looking for it.

Great decision, Damien. how long you been dipping? If you only threw the cans into a garbage where you can easily get them back - I strongly suggest opening the cans and dumping all contents into the toilet. Otherwise, you'll be tempted to pull your can back out of the garbage during a weak moment over the next few days...
The first several days are the toughest, so be prepared mentally for a tough go, for a while - but just take it one day at a time, or 1 hour at a time if that works better. Dont think about anything else.
Drink alot of water, and get yourself some sunflower seeds, fake chew, hard candy, gum, etc, if you start missing having something in your mouth.
You can do this - just look around at this site, and you'll see it can be done.
PM me if you need help with anything, or need a phone number for those 'emergency' moments of nicotine craves.
I'm quitting with you today.

Globe,, your pretty much going to think about that can for 3 days straight, but after that 3 days everything gets a lot easier. Read everything on the site, learn as much as you can about what nicotine does to your mind and body,, learn your enemy. It makes is so much easier when you know what your fighting and why. Pm me if you need anything, one day at a time man, and know that things get a lot better.

It's going to suck for a while. If quitting was easy big tobacco would be broke. You can do it. One day at a time. Post your word. Keep your word. Repeat.

Keep reading but post roll! Without a promise you will convince yourself to have another dip, we know we've all been there. That promise is what makes this different.
