I am ten years into the worst decision I ever made... that first dip. My theory is that there are two kinds of people that take their first dip. The first person gets sick, and never takes another. The second person goes to the moon on the nicotine express and picks up an addiction. I was guy number 2, and it developed into a 2 plus tin a day addiction.
I can't tell you how many times I have caved after weeks (or sometimes just a couple hours) of absolute misery. This week I failed at quitting three consecutive days. Today I am finally going to post roll, and this post. I have tried in the past to quit for money, for my love, and for my health.
This time it is for me.
This time it is for pride.
This time is for dignity.
That is what my addiction has robbed me of, and that is what I am taking back.
Some opening questions... how the fuck do I get past a gas station? It is like gravity pulls you in.
Im off to figure out roll call (and pitching $7 in the trash can where it belongs)
Regards,
Ginger

FLUSH IT! TAKE A PICTURE OF THAT SHIT SWIRLING DOWN THE DRAIN!
Read up on the welcome center on how to post roll, then join up in August 2015

It would seem you have the correct mindset. You can only quit for yourself. Quitting isn't easy, or more people would do it. It takes a lot of effort to succeed. It starts with making that daily promise to the group that you will grow close with. I saw you post in August. That group will help you through some rough times, guarantee it.
As for the gas station question. I avoided them early on. When I went, I would just pay at the pump and not go in. But when you do go in the store, just tell the person behind the counter who has probably pulled down your usual worm dirt that you have quit and will not need that anymore. They will generally be happy to comply, and some good ones will even ask you about your quit when you come in.
The more people you get involved in your quit the better. Tell your friends, family, everyone. Hell, I've told complete strangers. It just feels good to know you have broken the chains.
As for roll call, don't stress if you mess it up. The only way to mess up roll is to not be on it.
If you ever have any questions or concerns post them here, somebody will be on and here to help.

Thanks guys.
Got roll up, shouldn't be a problem.
Funny thing, the guy in the cube next to me saw me popping tins out of my backpack and emptying them into the trash. He thought I lost my mind.
As for the gas station clerk, I trek about 50 miles each way to work, none of them know me from Tom... but I drive by about 12 of them each way to work. For a while I am going to have to treat them like enemy territory.
As for the trash can full of dip, the janitor isn't going to like me much today. But at least this is the last day he will have to deal with ripped open pop cans brimming with shit.
So where do I go to vent/bitch/whine and generally act like a spoiled child who lost his favorite toy?
-
Generally most do that in their own groups. So for you in the August group. But literally, you can act like a brat in any group, Live Chat (http://chat.killthecan.org/), intros, wherever. Whatever it takes to rant and let off steam on the other quitters instead of family, coworkers, innocent passerbys.
I linked live chat so if you want to visit, just click the link. It's also on the right hand side of the forum in all caps.

Thanks again.
I think I will use my intro post, may make for good entertainment in a few months to read back through it.

Sleep is a valid resolution to cravings.

Bass is a goalie in a pickup league. I'm pretty sure that's him. He just shaved his beard off so maybe he got crazy with the razor?

Solid Day 1 and I want to congratulate you on today. Lets do this again tomorrow - same deal. Wake up, piss, post roll.

My foggy day two
So these things happened yesterday:
1) made a pitcher of my badass tea and proceeded to forget the pitcher was filling up in the sink... washed it all down the drain.
2) opened the freezer to pull some dinner out and managed to knock my ladies finest pint of ice cream into the dog water dish.
3) sent the boss a leave slip and neglected to tell him which three hours I wanted to take off of work today.
4) zero nic.

Installing a furnace and central air unit. Me and the lady bought a house in August, great deal, but it needed everything. Later today me and one of my brothers are going to tackle a couple of the biggest issues.
Keeping busy helps.

Whatever it takes to beat this bitch! Proud to be quit with you today my brother!
