Hello everyone... I'm Josh...a little about my usage history: I've been dipping for the last 4 or so years, since my freshman year of college so I could "fit in" 'bang head' I went to an ag school (majoring in landscape contracting) and a lot of the guys that I hung out with dipped.
I picked up a couple tins so I could try it... berry skoal pouches and wintergreen skoal longcut. My first dip made me sicker than a dog... that should have been my first hint to throw away the tins and not look back.
I finally found "my dip of choice" though, mint skoal pouches (because those are healthier... right? anyways last year I changed to copenhagen wintergreen longcut because I wasn't getting the hit that I used to... I run my own landscaping company, which is very stressful and now I'm up to a can or two per day, pretty much dipping whenever I'm not around my parents (YES I DO STILL LIVE WITH MY MOM AND DAD!)
I have tried a few times to quit... for my birthday, for a newyears resolution, because my mouth hurt etc... but the cravings and habit always have overridden my desire to quit.
Recently my gums have been bleeding more than normal, I can see the roots of my teeth, I have all sorts of white crap on my gums, and I am just sick of being a slave to the nic bitch (not to mention having to be a ninja dipper)
Today I am starting my final quit... I have been reading and think that this site is what will be my saving grace.
Now I just have to learn how to post roll (I apologize in advance, I will probably screw it up) and find which group I belong in.
I am now off to flush what is left in my tins :unsure:
I promise not to dip again!

Congratulations on you quit!
We quit cold turkey here, meaning no nic patches, gum or tobacco products.
As you know, the central part of our program and success is posting roll call every day. Head on over to the WELCOME CENTER (link in red at the upper left of your screen) and read all about posting roll. Then go to the June 2012 group and get started.
Also read everything you can under this link: KillTheCan.org.
Information is power when it comes to quitting.
The initial days of quitting suck, but your life is worth the fight!! If you need anything else, just shout.

Welcome Fish n Chips.
Figure out Roll Call. Then learn Why we post roll. A real smart guy post a good explanation in the Welcome Center. It's an easy read. Make sure you understand it before you post Roll in Your group.
Again, welcome.

Thanks guys I know about the no nic policy, and I have no intent on putting that shit in my body again.
I can say for sure that this will not be easy... It's only been like 2 hours since I flushed my tin and I've already had a couple scares from knowing that I can't have another dip... It's pathetic that I have been reduced to relying on a poison for a crutch.
Just a question... Is there any way that I can change my settings on the forum so that when I click a topic that the posts are in the right order? It's a pain to have to go to the end of the last page to read the first post especially on my phone.

Post up! I want your quit.

Post up! I want your quit.
Do you mean post roll for today?
If yes, I don't believe I can because I did dip this morning when I was in the plow truck. correct?

Thanks. I like to shoot pretty much anything that's in season, but most of the time I just wind up at the range that is 2 minutes from my house just because it's hard to find the time to go hunting.
As far as fishing I absolutely love salmon fishing on the salmon river in NY, and I am there whenever possible in the fall. Ice fishing is also one of my favorites but it's hard to find the time if it is a normal winter since I have to plow snow. I have a boat and like to fish for walleye... And I cant stand bass fishing. They are a nuisance fish as far as I'm concerned especially since they don't taste that good. I also fly fish, but I haven't been out on any streams in at least a couple years.
I used to tie flys when I had the time, but running a business doesn't leave much of that. I also build custom fishing rods.

Right on, man. Sounds like a good time. Never been ice fishing but seems like it would be fun. Definitely unique. Well, I hope you stick around this site and I hope you stay quit, brother
