Title: Ready to Quit now!
Post by: vannitro on July 05, 2011, 09:29:00 PM
I have tried quitting in the past using patches, gum, lozenges, prescription pills. Started with Kodiak in high school and college and then on the Skoal, overall its been close to 20 years and I have had enough. Just came across this site and decided that the "helpers" in the past just give me a reason to go back when I stop taking them, I want to prove that I can do it on my own.

I have a 1 month old baby and don't want to take time away from being with him because I am too busy worrying about my next dip. I am ready to be dip free and looking forward to this site helping me through.

You need to post a day 1 in October bro. Dump all your shit in the crapper where it belongs, flush the toilet, and post your promise for the rest of the day.

Tomorrow morning you will repeat. But we will worry about that in the morning. Let's just get through the rest of the night first.

And welcome to the best decision you will ever make.

welcome van! Go over and post your promise to quit with the other fellas in the October 2011 group. Posting role is the most important thing we do here. We give our word to one another daily and our word is our bond. We are all addicts here man and we all work together to quit. If you want to do this, then post up, make friends, and read up on this site and I firmly believe you will be successful.

Congrats on the decision to quit, if there is anything I can do to help you then let me know.

Van,

Good choice

#1 Post Roll

#2 Keep your word to stay quit for that day

#3 repeat

#4 read everything on this site and use this site as support! Also get some off site support---wife, family, trusted friend or doctor to hold you accountable.

Two choices:

#1 Quit Using and be there to watch your child grow into an adult.
#2 Use Nicotine and have the possiblity of not being around to see your wonderful child grow up

Now that is an easy choice--health over potential cancer!

PM me if you need anything
LL

I can't add anything to what has been said. Great call on your part. 1 day at a time.

These are true gems that will prove vital in your quit. How do I know? Been there, lived through it. All of it. You can and will do this without the crutches (which just prolong the agony of withdrawal), but you don't have to be on you own. Any of us will help you anytime. Just say the word, and the support is there. That's what makes this place work. Welcome to the circus, bro.

Posted Roll yet, Vann? Get on that shit, if you're serious about wanting to be around for your young baby.

Van,
What works for me is that Smokey Mountain fake snuff. The Mint Snuff also works. You can do it! The first 3 days are hell, but after that it gets better. Hang in there, you can do it! Day 7 here for me.

I don't see that you posted role today.

I guess today is not the day.....todays not over though and there is still time for you to man up and take control of this addiction.

Thanks to all for the support and advice, no dip since last night and just posted in roll call. Unfortunately my work blocks websites like this so I can't post until I get home but I can say that knowing that I needed to be accountable to the group helped me drive past the convenience stores on the way home so I could make it through day 1 and post in roll.

Great Job, And welcome. Glad you made the decision to post.
No hold one. Get a bunch of numbers and call/text them. Read the site and posts.

As far as roll call, if you have a computer at home, get up a few minutes early and post roll. Shouldn't be a problem as insomnia is usually part of the game initially.

Some of us wake up a few minutes early, post roll then; shit, shower, shave.
It's actually very easy to do.

It's a few minutes before 5am here and roll's been posted in about 6 places with a few more to go. Amazing what priorities can do for your quit.
