Well no sob story here. Ive been putting of quiting for to damn long. Been reading around this site and saw some really motivating posts.
I just spit out my last dip because im tierd of lying to myself. Its always tommorrow or the next day.
My Moment:
Yesterday i bought a roll of dip because i was out(no Shit) and thought that after not haveing a dip for 3 hours i was a pussy and couldnt handel it. My wife and I were at her grandfathers house( her grandmother passed Wensday) yesterday morning and after I ate breakfast i realized i forgot my can of dip at the house. We live like 10 minutes away, but the foodlion was 5 minutes. That was kind of my ahah moment of fealing like an addict.
Im nervouse and scared and all of this is running through my head of well Ill just put it of for another day. I rememder reading on here that dip is what i relly on on a day to day bassis to help me cope with the real world situations. Man that shit right their is so true. Now its time to be true to myself.
Holy shit this is going to suck ass. Bring it on!!!
Well their goes the first 15 minutes.

Good choice man. No sob story needed.
Post roll. That's your promise of no nicotine for the next 24 hours.
You'll be postin in January group. (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=7170)
Reach out if you need anything.

You feel like an addict because that is exactly what you are. Everyone here has lied - to ourselves, our kids, our wives. It's what addicts do to get their fix.
The good news is that you've made the right decision to come here. Go to the "Welcome Center" in the top of the site, click on it and learn how to post roll. You'll be in the January Quit group. We quit one day at a time around here. Addicts can't think about quitting forever.
And you're right - it will suck ass, that's no lie. We all did it to ourselves by sticking that shit in our lip. But you know you need to quit.
-
no two ways about it, it's going to suck. just live on this site, read everything. post roll and come back tomorrow to tell us it was shitty but you made it happen, post roll again, come back the next day and the day after that, and the day after that....
-
It is going to suck ass. It will get better. I promise. You said it in the last line of your comment. 15 minutes gone by. Sometimes you will have to take it 15 minutes at a time and that's okay. Shit man, you can do anything for 15 minutes, right? Then you bite off another 15 minutes... and repeat..
Hang tight to the site in these first days, read all you can, continue to re-up your motivation, post roll EVERYDAY, and reach out to your quit brothers.
You can do this.
PM me anytime you need something.

So we just got back from my wife's grandmothers funeral. I watched a few light up a cigarette, my father in law is chewing some nicoret gum and her grandfather just put a chaw in.
I got this. It sucks but I keep telling myself it's worth it.
-
It's worth it. You got this.
Be prepared to notice addicts doing dumb things. Your sense of "that's just stupid" will become very keen.
-
Never, ever forget how much it sucks. But, you only have to go through it once.
And it is most definitely worth it. Hang tough, and for God's sake, ask for help if you need it.

Just remember your body is screaming for the drug because it has been fooled. It is living a lie. Drink lots of water your first few days, and don't ever forget 'The suck'. I'll quit with you bro!

Stay tough Cshock. Everything about nic is a lie. You are doing the right thing and doing it well. I don't give a damn if a guy has 1,000 days or 1 day - they are both quit. Focus on 1 day at a time. Focus on one MINUTE at a time if you have to. You can do it. There are thousands of people on this site who do it everyday. Keep it up man. PM me if you need anything.

Well been staying bussy today. Mowed, weedeated and tore apart my 4 wheeler. It's an old one I bought to fix but hey no time like now to get started.
I'm going hunting this afternoon so that will help some more. I usually didn't dip in the tree stand so hopefully it will get my mind off of it.
Later guys
-
Well it day 3 today. The suck is almost over.
This morning is not so bad, just a little iratable. But it'll pass and I'll be nic free right?

That's good... just stay busy, and the thoughts will go away. The longer your quit, the less you'll think about it. be strong, be quit.

The physical suck is almost over.. the mental suck is just beginning..post everyday and quit 1 day at a time. keep your guard up. the bitch is very sneaky, but we'll teach you how to bash her head in. Everyday it get's a little easier.. It absolutely gets better, and is worth the battle.. pm if need anything..
-
Thanks guys.
We just got back from church and my wife's grandfathers. I had one of the best laughs today. He told me that I need to quit dip and start chewing. His doctor told him that dip has pieces of metal in it that punctures the gum to help absorb the nicotine. Chew has no metal in it so it's better for you. I just shook my head and laughed. He also said that he would hypnotize me. I said hell no cause next thing I know somebody will say some certain word and I be doing the funky chicken naked. In Walmart.
Then my wife said and I quote " How do you know he already hasn't hypnotized you". I mean damn. So if y'all see some fat naked dude in Walmart doing the funky chicken that'll be me.

Day 4
Didn't sleep worth a shit last night. I woke up every 15 minutes or so. Don't know if it was the bitch or just my brain. I've done good today so far. I've watched a few guys load their lip up and explained why I quit. One guy told me that he cod be doing worse things. I told him no he couldn't. Here we go one day again.

You can't change an addict until they're ready. We were exactly the same way. Rock on, man. One day at a time.
-
Well this addict wants to change. Wait already has changed.
-
All in all I was not that bad of a day today. Had a few cravings and a few people show their ass. I stopped and got a can of smokey mountain. Just in case if you know what mean. Well goodnight quiters I'll see y'all at roll call.

Its been a while since I felt talkitive, but this morning I do. its been a long road from Day 1. But I've had just as many hours in a day to stay quit as everybody else . Now I'm not saying every hour was easy but it was easyer than letting everyone else on this site down that made a promise to.
I would like to give a heart felt thanks to everyone that sent me their number and talked me down from the edge.
Day 5 was one of the hardest days ever.All I could think about was dip, dip, and dipshit if i cave now. I sent out quite a few text messages that day and to my suprise every message was returned. That made me feal real good. It let me know that my FREINDS where their for support.
I'm now on Day 10 and I'm still quit one day at a time.
