I'm Kyle. I'm a 27-year-old sports talk radio host from Virginia, and I've dipped for way too long. I quit for 6 months between the end of last year and June of this year. I fell off the wagon last month though when I started playing softball with my buddies.
I have to quit before it's too late, and I'm praying that's not already. This community seems like a great resource, and I'm glad to be here.

Your roll post was not perfect, but, it is the thought that counts. We can improve your quit mechanics if you have the commitment to quit. Commitment counts. Glad to have you in oct 2013. You can do this. One day at a time.

Hi Kyle,
33 years I dipped. Tried to quit hundreds of times. Failed Hundreds of times... tried quitting when "this can runs out".. went to the store and bought another one, sometimes traveled miles to find a store open at 3 am... tried to taper my usage down... only to be drawn back to using more than before. Every "try" met with a corresponding failure...
The sad truth is that you and I are junkies. Nicotine Junkies. Left to our own devices it is likely that we will return to the can. That's the power of this site.. we are never left on our own... we have quit brothers and sisters to help us along the way. It's a really simple program:
1. Post roll- this is a promise to quit just for today
2. Honor that promise - no nicotine today. It's only 24 hours. You can do it.
3. Come back tomorrow and repeat.
You can do this.

30 is spot on man...
From here on out, there is no "try"... there is "quit".
I have conquered tougher things in my life as I am sure you have.
From here on out, you only have to make a promise to yourself and us, that you will not USE for one single day.
One day at a time my friend.
Damn, after that repeated commitment, you will not believe how fast the days go by.

I know the feeling. I have got out of bed and drove around in the middle of the night to try and find a store. Shoot, one time we had a bad snow storm, and temps were in the teens. I walked over a mile to a gas station that wound up being closed. I refuse to be controlled by a stupid substance again.

Hello Kyle, quitting is never too late. I just quit after 30 + years. I stay quit because I have realized this stuff will kill you. Not the TV kill you, I mean seriously kill you. The shit the oral surgeon took off my lip the other day is played over and over in my mind. I quit to live man.
