Alright everyone, I am here to make myself publicly responsible this time. My quit officially starts tomorrow morning. I am done, tired of this crap. I have been dipping for about seven years now and I have quit before (for 45 days and then 10 days), but I slipped back into the evil habit. I want to quit for the right reasons this time, not because my brother quit or because I have a test coming up for nicotine in my blood stream for life insurance, but because I want to for me and because I want to be here for a long time for my wife and two beautiful children.
Here comes the crazy times 'bang head'

Welcome and I hope to see you on roll tomorrow. The thing about tomorrow - you always have time to talk yourself out of your plans. Something can always come up in the meantime that prevents actual quitting. That is why we quit TODAY and succeed one day at a time.

As soon as I get to work and have time to check the video, I will post in roll call.
I only said that Inwas officially going to quit on 12/14 because, I had been dipping all day yesterday, technically I quit yesterday afternoon.
-
Ok got my name added to roll call.
Definitely starting to feel the crazy surges this morning, I am heading to the store in a few minutes to grab some sunflower seeds and gum. I had to step back this morning and catch myself from loosing my cool on the kids while they were arguing before school. I had to remind myself that the lack of Nicotine was what was really causing me to be angry (although my oldest was most definitely being a smart mouth and talking back).
Anyway I remember the initial insanity, which is why I should have stuck with my guns the first two times, so I didn't have to go back through this part again. The first time I quit, I got hard core into the brain fog stage and caved in one night when I really needed to concentrate (For safety reasons at work - I am a police officer and I was on a dangerous SWAT call out), I shouldn't have caved in, but I did, that was two years ago.

Welcome Pain!
You stumbled into a great place with a great bunch of quitters who love seeing more and more people such as yourself telling nicotine to suck it!
Be sure you reach out to other quitters here for their number. It adds a whole other amount of accountability when you can't simply disappear from the website and cave. Whatever you do, post that promise each day and keep it!

I am convinced that first responders/military have some of the most difficult quits because dipping is a big part of the culture. When I quit I was an SRO. Normally during the school year I only dipped a couple times during the day and never outside of work because my wife thought I had quit years ago. Well when I quit it was the summer and we were working patrol. On patrol I dipped almost the entire shift except when I was eating. Day 4 of my quit was on a Monday. About 1pm I started getting the shakes and nausea so bad I had to go to the hole. 20 mins later a high risk call went out that occupied my mind for the next 4 hours. Didn't think about a dip the rest of the day. Don't know if your religious but I'm convinced that call saved me. (Everyone made it out ok btw). We as police officers have a hard time thinking of ourselves as addicts because we see addicts every day. I want you to sit back and reflect on your behavior over the last how ever many years you dipped. Do any of them look familiar? Scrounging pennies to buy a can? Changing your day around to get a dip in? Hiding it from those you love? Craving a dip? Even now. Not knowing how you can make it without it? Brother we are addicts. Maybe our addiction isn't as culturally abhorrent as narcotics or alcohol but it is an addiction all the same. You can make it through this. I promise you. You will have roadblocks. You will have people you trust trying to lure you back. I know. I still have buddies try to get me to take "just that one." Let your teammates and partners know that it is going to be an ordeal. Tell your family. You have an amazing support system here. Trade numbers with your quit group. (I know as cops we are hesitant to give out our numbers to strangers, I was when I first got here but it has been a lifesaver.) You still have to have support in the real world. You got this. No day but today.

WELCOME! This will be one of the best decisions you've ever made. I've found the first handful of days really suck, but it eases off after that. Stay strong, use the tools here and you'll have sucsess.

I am sitting in the office and I am mentally loosing my sh.t right now, I know it is the time to quit and I want to, but I have a partial can in my pocket from yesterday. I just grabbed some gum and seeds from the store, but some ongoing issues in my personal life and this evil addiction are hitting me really hard right now.

First thing you have to do is get rid of that shit. You can't tell me your brave enough to breach a door on an armed suspect and not brave enough to throw a can out? Brother you are better than that. Take all your life problems. Why add another one like this addiction? You'll still have all those problems and an addiction. So get rid of one of them. Flush that can. Don't let a plant rule you. Make the breach.

I just flushed it. Damn that was hard

So I'm guessing you did not reach out to anyone for their number? Then you did not text any of those numbers you don't have before putting a turd in your mouth?
Everyone has stress in life, but dipping isn't changing it, I can tell you that much.
My Dad passed away unexpectedly in June. 56 years old, my best friend, can 't get myself to go golfing without him. Dip? Fuck that!

Ok guys I failed on day one, I thought I was in a better place mentally yesterday to start my quit because things have been on an upswing lately and I have been wanting to do this for a long time. As I mentioned before I have been in Law Enforcement for 10 years and currently I am very unhappy with my career and looking to exit and move on to something else so I can better provide for my family. I have moved pretty damn high in my organization for my age (I made Lieutenant at 34, 35 now), but I have been suffering with some PTSD issues that I refused to acknowledge. Over the last 4 years my family has had a rough time (my wife nearly died during childbirth of our daughter, my wife's mother died shortly after that, my father was diagnosed with ALS and died within a year in 2016, and this year me and my wife have been having marital problems).
I hid my dipping (Grizzly Wintergreen pouches) from my family for a long time and my wife was really mad when she found out, but she did not make me quit. I want to quit for me, but the lingering thoughts of a marital issue that popped up today started creeping in my head while at work and the damn nicotine started whispering to me. I thought if I used a vape pen that I had and a really low dose of nicotine, I made me able to taper better when my brain started going crazy, but that was a lie.
30 minutes after using the vape pen I was buying a damn can, and here I am having to admit that I failed.
I am not proud of myself at this moment.

OK Pain, going to say my peace and you can do with it what you want. I dipped for 35 years (as long as you have been alive). The last 10+ years, I dipped at least a can a day. Nobody liked dipping more than I did. Anyway, you have to get to the point where you want to quit. When you really reach that point, then you may be able to do this. The first thing you have to do is take tobacco off the table. No matter how bad it gets, tobacco is never going to be an option again. When you get your head straight and truly believe that, your mind will start to function differently. You have to get through today. Are you telling me you cant quit for 1 day? come on man, give me a break. We wake up and promise no nicotine today. No matter how bad it gets today, nicotine is not an option. Cry in you pillow if you have to, but not today. This shit is for real. You think you could quit if you got diagnosed with cancer today. would you quit then? Get your head straight and lets go!! Quit today and wake up tomorrow and do it again. That mentality has gotten me to day 331 today after a 35 years of dipping...It can be done.
One other thing, you seem to be a guy that likes to make excuses. Fuck that. You give all kinds of reasons why you can cave...poor you. Do a little reading on this site and tell me you are special...you are not. people quitting everyday on this site while they get kicked in the nuts by life. You ain't special...just week...learn how to quit by reading all you can on this site and you will grow strong in your quit. My number is in your inbox in the top right of screen...use it!!
Peace!

BrainG you nailed it, I made a weak excuse today.

Just quit for one day. Don't make it any more complicated than that. One friggin' day!!!
Even I can do that.

I will Irish, i found a few supporting members now so I can be personally responsible. I started all wrong but he first time including my post in roll. I wonÂ’t insult members by putting anything in there until I am further in my real quit.
For the record I made it 20 hours not 6, not that that is any better but I am now the 6 hour guy in roll call until I prove otherwise, which is completely fair.

Well I'm gonna add my 2 cents. You said you have ptsd well I have anxiety disorder I have panic attacks probably had 1000s of them. A good deal of them I thought I was dying maybe not ptsd but a problem that is in the same realm for sure. I quit chewing to be healthier well those first few weeks felt anything but healthy made it super difficult to wonna stay quit. Well I had my ups and downs other people seemed to improve quicker than me or at least that is how it felt. What helped me was talking to people on here it saved my quit just texting them. I never connected with anyone who had issues like mine and pushed though the quit. I would have attacks that dropped me over and over but I pushed through one day at a time at first maybe an hour at a time if you have to. What I'm saying is if I can do it you can do it. Im almost to 250 days some days are still shit but its improved so dam much. If your gonna make this quit last you need to acknowledge the ptsd if youv never went to counselor therapists self-help stuff use it. I will pm you my number also. I still use the fake stuff but that does leave the habit flowing but one thing at a time. Im in the national guard so I understand not wanting to look weak in front of your coworkers but at times I stepped out and meditated. I told them I'm quitting and its rough on me gonna need some space sometimes. I quit with you

The only thing required to prove otherwise is to post your promise today. Keep nicotine out of your system all day. Post Day 2 tomorrow. Viola! you proved otherwise.
repeat everyday and keep nicotine out of your life every day one day at a time!
It is fucking hard, but really really simple

BS. Take your ass to roll call and post your promise. Then keep it. Post day 2, then day 3 etc. I promise you. On day 100 nobody will remember day 1. My digits are going in your inbox.

IÂ’m typically a hard ass when it comes to caving. I used for 25 years and plowed through 2 cans a day. I found this place and went cold turkey... all in. I owned it.
IÂ’m not into grace afforded to addicts... we canÂ’t afford a blurred line. Ever.
I donÂ’t have the energy for a rant today so... Merry Christmas:
Read my brother TraumaÂ’s intro. His is permanently pinned at the top of this community intro page. Read it all the way to the end. Soak in his journey of freedom and the dignity of his death as a Quitter.
No excuses, bro. None.
Own the decision.
Revel in pain.
Experience the healing.
Earn your freedom.

These are 2 of the most bad ass quitters on this site. Either of them will move mountains to help you complete Day 1, and Day 2...
I would trust either of them quite literally with my life, and I've never met either in person. You need to get their numbers and you need to use them. If you get their numbers and you use them, you will be able to do this.

Damn, pain. Considering the dump you took on your group yesterday, you sure as hell have a ton of support in this intro from a bounty of bad ass quitters. Don't let ^^^ guy fool you with his humility either. If he isn't a captain of the KTC dodgeball team, he's one of the first picked without a doubt. He was very close with Todd (Traumagnet). If you haven't read that intro yet, do it NOW. If you can read that and bail on your group because of a "weak" moment, then KTC won't work for you. Todd was in a hospital bed and posted support for others hundreds of times without complaint. He had every reason to give in when they told him he wouldn't get better. Even in his worst moment, he was stronger than nicotine. You're stronger than nicotine if you choose to be. Caving is disrespecting what Todd worked so hard to accomplish for himself and others. Caving disrespects AJ, SAM and W2W because they're vouching for you now by posting in your intro. DO IT. It's hard sometimes, but it's NEVER impossible. The only possible way to fail is by YOU making several choices to do so. The flip side is you have EVERY tool at your disposal to succeed by following the simple rules on this site. Make the commitment. ODAAT. It's worth every second.

I have been reaching out when the cravings hit hard, and learning to embrace the suck when it comes. The mind games definitely got interesting yesterday and right before bed the night before, but I understand better what is happening now and having other guys Tom talk to about my crazy ass feelings Helps tremendously.
I survived 5 hours in the car yesterday with my two kids, no other adult help and visiting family for Christmas and didnÂ’t cave in after passing hundreds of death dealers. I messed up on my first roll, but I knew I just needed to ride it out after making my promise. But it would have been terrible without being able to shoot out a quick text saying that I was struggling and having people to help keep me accountable.
Thanks again guys.
67 hrs quit now

Pain108,
Welcome to the group. Here are my suggestions for staying strong and remain committed to the Quit:
The main way to be successful is to just decide that you have quit. Once you stop the negotiating in your head as to whether you will do one more or not the rest becomes far more simple.
Next, you will learn to distract your attention from your desire for a dip to anything else that interests you. This ability to change your focus will guarantee your success and make your quit that much easier.
When you place a dip in your mouth, your brain releases sugars. Well, those sugars are now going to be gone.
However, you can replace them with OJ or other fruit juices with sugar. This will provide some comfort, especially in your initial quit days.
Make sure to exercise with weights and cardio when you feel that nagging tension in your muscles, you feel that rage, when you can not sleep and when you can not focus. Exercise really helps.
Here is one that most people overlook. Get at least 3 square meals a day. Hunger can really bring on those urges so squash those urges before they come. Eat full healthy meals and do not let yourself get excessively hungry. You will see this helps a great deal.
I waited until I was 59 quit after using tobacco for 40 years. You are wise to quit now.
I quit with you today.
Dundippin day 825

It'll get better. You're almost through the physical withdrawal symptoms now (about 72 hours). Keep building the web of accountability, it will be crucial as you continue to face certain situations without nicotine for the first time. Post roll, keep your promise, repeat.

The Smokey Mountain fake dip has been a freaking life saver. I had no idea about it when I “stopped” for 45 days last time.

Bro, you are doing great. Keep winning one day at a time. There isn't a better Christmas gift that you could give yourself, or your family, than this gift.
Health, Money, Freedom, Integrity... tell me something else that you could do that has so many positives.
Keep your chin up. Better and brighter days are ahead. I promise.

The Smokey Mountain fake dip has been a freaking life saver. I had no idea about it when I “stopped” for 45 days last time.
Bro, you are doing great. Keep winning one day at a time. There isn't a better Christmas gift that you could give yourself, or your family, than this gift.
Health, Money, Freedom, Integrity... tell me something else that you could do that has so many positives.

Thanks W2W, today has been a better overall day than the last few. Friday-Sunday my brain was playing some weird ass games.

Stay the course. It'll level off, but for now you just have to get through it. If that means seeds, fake, gum, candy, etc., so be it. Use whatever it takes to keep pushing. You're doing great.

Thanks brother, Seeds/gum/candy/and fake dip have been keeping me from going postal.
Also the members here and the knowledge I have gained while reading here. I found that most of my cravings hit worse and harder when I have let my blood sugar get too low from not eating enough or often enough. My addict ass has been substituting dip for food apparently, time to relearn how to be human.

A lot of quitters gain weight initially because of the substituting something for the dip. The bottom line though is weight is easier to lose than cancer. A lot of guys use the fake pretty hardcore for 200+ days then all of a sudden just don't want it any more. It may take 200 days, it may take 500. No matter. Each of those days you'll be quit, and that's all that matters. For me, I ate more, but never really got into the fake. What helped the most though was reading as
many introductions as I possibly could. I found a lot of the vets that were helping out our group, then found their introductions. I would read through their development and try to pick up things from each. The knowledge I learned by watching what they had experienced before me was incredibly helpful in staying the course when the water got rough.
Whatever it takes to keep that shizz out of your mouth today, use it.

Whatever it takes, just quit.
We're watching.
We've been there.
Just today. That's all there is.
