I've been dipping for 14-15 years now and I don't want to dip anymore. 10 years ago I was able to quit cold turkey. Then after a night of drinking I bought a tin thinking I could dip and walk away... I was wrong. I'm now a tin+ a day dipper. I have never really had a reason to want to quit in the past and to be honest I can't say that I have a reason now, other than I'm just ready to be done with it. I have the type of personality that makes it very easy to accomplish what I want when I decide I want it. My last dip was on October 1st 2017. No special reason behind why that was my last day, just happened to be how the cards fell. I didn't officially decide that I was going to stop until today. It just made sense, I had survived 3 trips to the gas station and didn't buy a tin once. From what I know, the 1st three days are the hardest and I already made it this far so F@#K YOU SKOL!!! Really the only time in the last 3 days that I have really wanted a dip was late at night when I play video games. Problem solved by chewing on a straw. Having worked in addictions in the past, I know that my road ahead will be hard and some days will be better than others. I can tell you that after 3 days, besides having a constant headache and the shits I feel great, even some of the pain I was feeling around my mouth has already started to feel better.
I'm a busy guy. I work 4 jobs and when I'm not working I'm probably attending a concert. Keeping busy will only help me when it comes to quitting as most of these activities don't allow for dipping. Most of my dipping was done in the comfort of home. I sort of understand how this site works and I have to say that it is great that people exist to help chewers, we are the forgotten ones when it comes to addiction. A co-worker of mine pointed me here and I thought it was worth checking out. I'm not sure that I will be a fan of the roll call thing. Like I mentioned before, I work 4 jobs... Time is not always something I have. I can already promise that checking in will not be a daily thing for me, I could disappear for days at a time because of my jobs. The good news is that I've decided I'm done with chew, so I'm not worried about a relapse.
If anyone has any questions, comments, concerns, advice, or information they would like to share with me... please do.

Welcome Metal and congrats on the decision! You're welcome to use this site as a resource for information, motivation and support, however you should know that Roll is foundational to the program. It's considered the "price of entry" and to tap in to the network here, you will need to make that daily commitment. I understand that your schedule might not make that easy, but if you have time to take a piss every day, you have time for Roll. It's as easy as sending a text.
I'm not trying to push you away, but that is how the site works and it's not flexibile. I'd really encourage you to make that commitment though. It's a daily promise and believe me that there will be days when it's the only thing that keeps you from giving in.
Anyway welcome again and I hope to see you be successful!

Posting your daily promise to not use is the way this works (brotherhood and accountability). Without it, you are just reading stuff about the harmful effects of dip on the internet. You've been dipping 15 years at 1+tin a day. How many failed attempts do you have under your belt? Let us help you change your approach to a successful one! If you don't post roll, odds are you won't make it this time either. Hope to see you on roll every damn day!

Ask yourself this question - How much is your quit worth to you?
I know for me and countless others on here the answer is certainly more than the 2 minutes it takes to post roll here every day!
Follow up question - How did you find the time to chew the tin+ a day and go buy more cat turds and if you were able to do all of that to hurt yourself cant you take the time to help yourself?
Here to quit with you each and every day!

He gone..............Come back when your ready Metal. We'll be here!

I know I will be, but remember, he is too busy to quit. Moving on now...

I never said I was too busy to quit, just too busy to post on here every day. I also never asked for the help of anyone on here to quit. For those of you who care, I'm on day 21 without dipping. I wasn't lying when I said that I wouldn't have time to be on here every day, but I decided to stop by and let whomever know that I'm not "gone."
