Title: 12 years is enough
Post by: J5ALIVE on April 14, 2015, 03:50:00 PM: I've known I should quit dipping since I started. Just never could. Been dipping for about 12 years, spent 4 years on active duty with the Army. Got married, got off active duty, moved home, and started a family 4 years ago, still in National Guard. I really realized I was an addict when I told my wife when she was pregnant with my first kid that I would quit once the baby was born. Then the baby came and I was never able to do it. Then it was excuse after excuse, "Well he's just a baby, he doesn't know what I'm doing, etc" Well now my oldest is almost 4 and I have an almost 1 year old. I'm to the point where I only dip when I'm in my Jeep alone, or at home and everyone else has gone to sleep. That proves that I'm embarrassed that I am a dipper. I've tried to quit before, I've even made it 2 months once. But I've always tried to do it myself, ashamed that I hadn't already kicked it, and failed. I'm here to quit for the last time. I fully understand how hard it will be, but I have to quit. The difference this time is I'm willing to talk about it with more people who have gone through the same struggle, and not do it alone.

My brothers and sisters here are the only reason for that. See we post roll which means we make a promise not only to ourselves but also to everyone on this site we will not use nicotine for that 24 hours, then wake up Piss, post and live nic free 1 day at a time! Get in here post roll and let's get you some badass quit going! I quit with you today!

J5,
Glad to quit with you, and you are right you can't do it alone or sneaking around. Accountability is key. Post here everyday, no exception. Tell everyone you know you are quit. And most important don't ever think it's OK to have just one, because one chew turns into two years, just read what these guys have went thru, the only way to stay quit is to never give in.

Probably a have dozen New Years, birthdays and other perfect times to quit. As you have found, now is the time and this is the place.
