Title: I quit
Post by: BigShotRob on July 12, 2016, 03:11:00 PM
Today I quit dipping after 11 years. I am tired of lying to my family and friends, wasting money on this crap, and slowly killing myself. Ive tried unsuccessfully (obviously, since I'm here) multiple times to quit before, but always found an excuse to buy another can. NO MORE EXCUSES!!! I QUIT!!!

Welcome Rob. One day at a time (ODAAT) will get it done. Wake up, post your promise, keep your promise. That's it. We'll deal with tomorrow when it gets here.

No lies, the first few days really suck. Hang onto the feeling of how badly it sucks because that memory will keep you going as you get further away from it. Push through these days and bust out the other side. It's worth it, I promise you that.

Welcome BSR! (See how fast we give you nicknames around here?) Settle in, drink lots of water. Pure cranberry juice also helps. One day at a time. Anyone can quit for one day.

Use this intro thread as a journal of your quit. You can look back on it in a few months (or years) and laugh at where you've been.

Welcome. We offer support and accountability, which by themselves are incredibly helpful. But it's still, and always will be you that is in charge of your quit. Make your daily promise, and keep it. It's hard as nails to do, but very simple.

Hi Rob, I quit with you today man!

Have you found your quit group yet? The price of admission here is real cheap. All we ask is that you post roll early EVERY DAY. See how cheap that is? You posting every day helps not only you stay accountable but us as well. Even on a day 1 quit, you are already helping fellow quitters out by simply posting a roll.

On a side note, I would gladly post the links for you to your quit group and how to post but am on cellphone and all that copy paste crap on phones really sucks for my old dead eyes.

Stick with it man. And yes, as was posted, the first few days suck major ass. It DOES get better and is well worth it.

Take care and hope to see you on roll tomorrow!

Well, I made it to day 2. First time in a while I havent put a dip in immediately after brushing my teeth in the morning. Starting to realize how much I actually did dip. Seems like if I wasnt eating, there was usually a dip in. There are 3 other guys that I can see currently spitting that nasty shit into empty bottles. Normally I would be doing the same thing or bumming a dip from one of them if I was out. But I posted roll today, so I wont do it, I cant do it. Im not gonna break that promise again.

Welcome Rob,
You made the best decision ever to quit here with us. You have no idea how great things are free of the clutches of nicotine. One Day At A Time will get you there. Stay active here, make some friends, and above all post that promise every morning. Its pretty simple, and very doable if you want your freedom bad enough. Shout out when you are having difficulties. You will be amazed how many brothers and sisters here will come running to support you.

I lived in that chat early on in my quit. It was a lifeline to say the least. And ol' ChickDip here is a regular in chat. She has more than one word or two of wisdom to give for sure.

And glad to see you made it back today and got on roll. Have you also contacted any of your quit brothers and exchanged numbers or anything? Your success may (usually does) depend on a strong network of peers. When shit hits the fan you can always call or text someone and they will be glad to help.

You mentioned noticing how much you dipped and when. Yeah, it is blatantly obvious after you have quit. I never used spitters so I never had them sitting around the house. I swallowed the spit, but always had a fat ass lip full of cat shit. Now days, my lip is no longer fat ever, my throat and stomach are doing better and not a once since I have quit have I ever had to worry about being down to my last dip and having to go get more or stop while out to get more. I never have panic attacks anymore when I can't find my dip. My blood pressure has actually improved AND I have even lost 15 pounds. Not much but it's a start.

Some rewards are greater than others but any reward is better than any negative you would get from dipping. Enjoy the freedom man!

Take care and I quit with you EDD!

Day 4. Fucked up my eyes 2 days ago and havent been able to do shit. Just sitting on the couch per dr orders. Pretty boring and what did we all do when we got bored? We grabbed a fat pinch and an old cup. But I am staying quit. Nothing is gonna hijack my quit. So Ive got nothing going on for the next couple days, so if anybody needs to chat just PM me your digits or find me in chat.
