I quit last night 10/29/2012 @ 10:09PM. I've been dipping since 1987. I have been dipping more than a can a day, and also going to sleep with a dip. I finally hit rock bottom, my father passed away this year and it was hard on my son. My son looked at me and said He didnt want me to die and that dipping would kill me.
So with the help of this site I WILL quit.

Pssst.
Bucket...I want to tell you a secret, man.
YOU ARE QUIT!
Welcome to day 2 of your quit. It's going to suck today, but it will get better. I (and everybody else here) will walk this path with you today if you can commit to our simple plan:
(1) Promise you won't use nicotine today. (I don't care about tomorrow. I don't care how many times you failed in the past. Today is all I care about.)
(2) Keep your word. Use the site's tools. Make some friends. Lean on them when you need to. Read everything you can here. In fact, tell us what is great about quitting and what downright sucks.
(3) Repeat these steps tomorrow.
It's simple, but sometimes it's not easy.
Take a look up top and find the salmon colored WELCOME CENTER in the black bar. Read that over and see what we do, why we do it, and how we do it. Go make your promise in February 2013 and be the badass you want to be.
Your rock bottom is quite similar to mine. My mother passed away a few years ago, and I stopped because she asked me to beforehand. I did for a while and picked it right back up because I never truly quit for me. Once the emotion of the "quit" settled, I no longer actively pursued being quit. I was simply not using, and I ended up failing then. I've come back since then and now realize that this quit is for me, and as much as I despise that memory of my 8 year old packing a can of beef jerky, this quit is not about him. He benefits, but he is not the driving force: I am.

Bucket, we all have different motivation and we all have one thing that has got to be our number one reason to quit. That is that we finally want to quit for ourselves! As you know addicts are very hard to reason with. The first few weeks suck but as you get tools to deal with the craving and you start winning one day at a time freedom begins to take control. Like you I always slept with the shit and that was one of my hardest dips to pass up!
You need to go to February 2013 HOF (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=7319) read how to post roll and jump in. Posting roll is a vital part of our success. If you have any questions or if I can help pm me.

Hey bucket, is the mic-bitch whispering in your ear? Telling you that "yea, yesterday was a tough day, but let's not go extreme here . . . .you can handle just one. . . don't let one bad day end a great relationship. blah blah blah..." She's telling you what ever BS she can think of in order to get you to have ONE MORE DIP (cause she knows that is all it will take to slip the leash back around your neck).
Bucket, your reasons for posting here yesterday are still valid. You've been given some great advice. Take it. I'll sum up that advice: Read, read, read, post roll, keep your word, read read read, repeat everything as soon as you wake up tomorrow.

1 day behind me and no dip. Going to bed so I want think about it anymore.
Ill worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.

Stick around and post roll, that's the price of the support here, read up top "welcome center" and go to the Feb, 13 quit group- post roll then sleep, come back and do it again once you wake up!

Hey there - that is exactly the attitude that will take you far here - when you wake you post your word for the day not to use any nicotene and then do everything in your power to uphold that word. Whatever tommorrow, the upcomming weekend, next week, next month, we just leave those thoughts aside and do not worry about them, we worry about just today.
I quit with you today.

Good job , its almost 48 hours for me, The cravings are getting weaker, but they are starting to last longer, I was able to play piano earlier without thinkin about a dip. One of my fears of quitting was i woulndt enjoy anything anymore. I feel free and more active today. I didnt sleep well last night but i slept for alot longer. Anyways, we are a team, that nic bitch only makes life worse.

Good stuff in here. Hang tough bud.
Face tomorrow when its staring you in the mirror.
