Its very hard for me to admit a weakness as I try to be a encourager and motivator to those around me. But I've got nothing, if I continue to let a can of dip control me on every level.
I have been chewing since I was 15, I am now 47, you do the math. I have quit more times than I can remember. With minimal success- anywhere from 2 hours to over 6 months. I always find a reason to go back and cave. I found this site by actively looking for a miracle way to finally be free from my can of dip. I know there's no miracle cure. The funny thing is only those close to me know I dip. You say, Ninja, I was a formal waiter in college at a high end restaurant and I would chew my whole shift wearing a tuxedo and spitting in the garbage cans. My children are now 20 and 19(swore to quit on their births, etc......), my 19yr old, yes followed in my footsteps and has been chewing on and off for 3yrs and I v noticed in the past 6 months he doesn't care who
sees him. I 'm not quitting for him, but I 'm quitting to show him, if I can be free from nic than you surely can!! The longest I'v quit in the past 3 years has been 108 days, I did that by using the Dip Stop Program(bacc-off). I felt I had great success with it, but I was only accountable to myself and my one accountability partner who did a great job but has never been addicted. So I quit today with my new band of brothers and sisters. I will post roll call daily and reachout when I don't know what to do. And hopefully help others along the way. Quit to live

Welcome! A language quibble, you have stopped before (we all have) but quit is different.
Post roll, support your fellow quitters, and succeed one day at a time.
Your quit group is the Jan 2016 group (you will get to 100 days with them).
I quit with you today.

Hey there brother, you got this. The number one thing to do here is make sure you join your quit group. Accountability + Brother(sister)hood = Success here. Get on Jan 2016 and post roll. Exchange some numbers or email with your brothers. Everyone goes through hard times and it helps to have someone to talk it out with.
Today I quit with you

Welcome quitter, 38 year slave to the tin here. 295 days later I am free today only because I post my word to my brothers and sister's here, every damn day as soon as I get up (very important ) there's always someone to talk to here by phone , forum ,whatever, you're never alone as long as you post your promise. Get numbers, get involved in your group and helping others will help you. Get this done, you're not getting any younger! We're all addicts here, just like you. Quit on! Pm for my number if you want.

Congrats on making the decision to quit. I was a big ninja dipper as well. To me it shows you are a bigger man by stepping up and correcting the problem instead of sitting back and letting it control you.
You want to be an encourager and motivator? Kick nic to the curb and show your 19 year old what a "weak man" can accomplish.
Keep posting roll and keep that promise.
PM me if you need anything.
I am proud to quit with you today.
-
One day at a time you can do this.
Freedom isn't won easily, but once you feel what it is like you'll know the fight is worthwhile. The first days are tough. Just focus on today, because there is a much brighter tomorrow.
Welcome aboard!

You dip history is similar to mine - multiple stoppages only to go back and finger bang the can. This site and the people here made me a quitter, you can do it too.
-
It's going to be a rough first couple of weeks. Just accept that and you can get through it.
-
Quittolive, you've got a few people in here pledging support who have all quit within the last 6 months. Draw on their experiences. Read their introduction threads, get a sense of the people you're here with. It is still fresh for all of them and that helps during the worst parts of this battle. Standing quit with you today.

Thanks for all the encouragement and advice on how to stay quit and be an encourager to others. Day-10, the word around here, is in the fog, to me it feels like a black cloud that is following me, but because of past experiences, I know the sun is still shinning everyday, just some days there's a cloud in the way. I quit with The KTC BAQs!!!!

The Dog House, the bunch of misfits, trash talkin, I'm right, your wrong Dogs, Thank you, even though I 've never done the ssoa I think I could look at roll and within two minutes I could tell you who's missing.

On Oct 12, 2015 I said no more to the can!! It was one of the greatest, toughest, and most wise life choices I have ever made. The only thing I can say, "NO WAY WOULD I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS WITH THE AWESOME BAQRS WHO CAME BESIDE EARLY ON AND THOSE WHO ARE STILL SUPPORTING TODAY"!!! Thank you!!! I have decided to quit another Ninja, sneaky, not good for me addiction- Drinking! As with chewing the only people that kn-ew I drank are those close to me as I never drank in public. I would say, its just a few beers a night to bring me down, but its too much as its been heavy on my heart to quit for a long time. So I plan on using the same tools I used to quit chewing and just quit ODAAT and not worry about tomorrow, I can do that tomorrow!! If you put something on paper and admit it out loud, that changes everything. Thanks Again!!
