Im one week in being dip free. Some days have been better than others. I was getting tired of all my activities revolving around my tobacco use.

Congratulations on taking your life back. Get on here and read as much as you can. Reach out to those in your quit group. And listen to the advice. This place comes off a lil harsh sometimes but everyone really is just trying to help. Just make sure you post roll everyday and early as you can. And just be a man of your word. It's that simple and you will stay quit.

Your quit group is pre HOF July 2016. That signifies the date that you will be 100 days nicotine free, which is a milestone celebrated here.
Find that group in the Quit Groups section of the forums. Go to the last page in that thread. There will be directions for posting roll. The only way to screw up roll is by not posting. It will be a little confusing at first, but you'll get it in a couple days.
Post roll every single day, as early in the day as you can. Posting roll is your promise to not use nicotine that day.
We post quit for the day, every day. That's how we stay quit, one day at a time.

Good to have you, and great job posting roll.

Congratulations on your one week. Let's be honest. It is going to continue to be difficult. In my 40's and my 80's I hit times when the old crave came back hard. If you had to be ready for this and fight through it. But it sure is wonderful to go about your life without having to go to the store everyday and without walking around with a dip in your mouth all the time.
Your off to a great start. I quit with you today.

I turned 42 yesterday it was time for me to quit. It got so bad I would stop at the store and buy a can of dip and a bottle of water then go outside and dump the water just to have something to spit in while driving. My 3 kids will be keeping me on my toes while my lifestyle changes

Three kids.....
Three arrows in your quiver.
Build them up straight, with sharp tips.
Then they will make a difference someday.
As you have.... EDD ODAAT.
Well done johnnyrb on your quit and your example.
Great start sir.
Happy Birthday.
I quit with you today.

Congrats on your decision! looks like you're trying to do it right this time! this place worked for me, after 30+ years of slavery to that can. here are some things that I think will help you for the long haul-
1. read all you can to learn what you are fighting. This addiction is really bad, strong, and it has sneaky tricks. Read the link in my signature line, read other quitters intros to see what they've gone through, read the info center articles here. You'll learn to hate the tobacco companies and have some mercy on yourself!
2. Build a network of other quitters here. From you class and others. This is for BOTH accountability and support. It may be awkward at first- after all, one of the things that the addiction messed with in our brains was the circuitry that motivates people to make friends-- no bull, that's real! Reach past that, beat that down, make friends!
3. Log your experiences here in the intros, so others can see where you are and offer help, so you can read it later to remind yourself what you never want to go through again (and thereby prevent a cave) and so that others after you can learn from your quit experience.
Keep killing it, life gets a little better each day, all you have to do is get through today, then get up and consider doing the same tomorrow.
