My background:
I am 27 and was a dipper for many years. I started just around my 19th birthday and quit last week. I had a canker sore on the bottom of my gums from my retainer (or so I hope) and it scared the crap out of me. I am glad I could find a place like this as I don't normally need a lot of support.
My problem is I do not miss the chewing tobacco, I miss the 8 years of my life that I wasted using tobacco. I look back and think how stupid I was to have ever used it. Does anyone else feel the same way? I am glad I gave it up and will use you all for support. My quit date was 3/14/14.
I look forward to learning from everyone.

You are not alone in those feelings, my friend.
Go to the Welcome Center and read all that you can. You'll be in the June quit group. That's where I am. We post roll here Every Damn Day, making a commitment to ourselves and the other guys/gals on this forum that we will not use nicotine today. This is a promise that should be made every morning.
Get involved. This forum is only as helpful as you choose to make it. Reach out to people and exchange phone numbers. It's nice to have someone you can text who knows what you're going through when you're having a craving.
There are some unique individuals in here, but we're all here to help.
Quitting with you today.

Hey gopher! Im glad your quitting! It is a tough process and the first few days after quitting are the worst. Im on day 5 now as well. I do agree with you about feeling youve wasted 8 years. I felt the same and i kick myself every day for starting the habit. The support groups here are great! I didnt think I would need much help but I did! Talking to people really helps a lot getting through the shitty stage! Dont forget to post roll! Im glad to be quit with you today!

Congrats on making a great decision! Quitting isn't easy but it is simple. Use KTC to keep yourself on the right path. Follow the program, thousands of successful quitters swear by it. I quit with you today.

Even though I've only been on KTC for a few days, I can say it's already helped me out a lot.
Quitting with you.

Congrats Gopher on the best decision you've ever made!
Glad to have you here. Don't dwell on the past. We were all "dip" shits but we can't change that. What you control is the now. Not the past or the future. So don't let the nic bitch touch you in the now and the rest will work out.

I don't see this as a problem young bro... I see this as the beginning mindset you need to be free. Follow our program... it works. Stick around, be active, work your quit. You need a quitter in your corner to help you out?... message me. Rock on.

I sent you my number on a PM...use it if you need it. Water, water, water...trust me on this...do it! Exercise also helps burn some nervous energy...those two and this site helped me through the last week.
Proud to quit with you today and call you my June quitting brother. You got this!

Thanks everyone for the great support! I am excited and happy to kill the habit. I am excited to learn more from everyone and hear what everyone has to say. If anyone needs a text my cell is XXX-XXX-XXXX. I am here to support anyone when they need it and vice versa.
Glad I found this place.
***bamadan edit -- Welcome gopher. Accountability is a great thing and key to success -- but don't post your digits in a public thread. Swap via PM. ***

Great decision! Wish I would have done the same back when I was 19. Post roll everyday and stay quit.

Since I quit on Friday night 3/14/14 I am pretty damn excited for tonight to be 3 days. I am so scared of getting cancer at this point that I just don't see the need to buy another can and to put it in my mouth. I can't wait to get to 100 days. It will be a highlight of my year.
Thanks to everyone for the support on day one and I will be checking in daily!
-
First three days are hard, mainly because it takes that long to end the physical addiction. But, make no mistake day 4 is hard too. So, one day at a time and post roll every damn day. Support is here and were all going thru it.

I love your enthusiasm bro. Lets harness it a tad.
1, 10, 36, 100, 1044 days... It's all the same. One day at a time. It's a long road brother. Pace yourself and, right now at the beginning, celebrate a victory each day. 100 will come soon enough. Enjoy now.

I remember early in my quit I saw a post from Ready that he was quit for like 1700 something days. He said it had been years since he had a crave. As a really new quitter in got all excited at the prospect of that being a possibility. Then srans gently reminded me that Ready got to 1700 something days the same way I got to 20 days, ONE DAY AT A TIME! I feel like a completely different man than 115 days ago. But I know I am just one bad decision away from the last 4 months meaning nothing but bluster and shit. NAFAR!

Don't spend too much time dwelling in the past. Not shit you can do about it, so don't waste your energy.
Worry about tomorrow when it gets here.
TODAY is where your head needs to be at.
Like the white bearded scribe, WT57 once said...drive your journey looking out the windshield, not constantly looking in the rear view mirror, or looking too far ahead. Focus on the now.
Or some shit like that...

You're in the right place bro! We are all in this together and we all got your back. Ge a hold of me if you need anything.
-
Welcome. Reach out to people who will hold you accountable. This is not an easy process, but it's totally worth it. Quit One Day At A Time.
-
Day 4. Thanks for the support. One day at a time. Thanks Diesel2112 for the words of advice. Can't look back can only look forward. I needed that... so did my fiance. She thanks you greatly.

Toughest so far... just got done with hockey. Seeing guys with their lips sticking out. I resisted and just thought about the future. One day at a damn time.

That's how it is done my friend. ODAAT, no sooner.

Day 6. Today was the worst so far. Felt out of body and felt headaches like never before. I never thought I was truly "addicted" but it was clearly a lie to make myself think it was okay. It was a miserable night and morning. Feeling good now, but poked my lymph nodes so damn hard the other day I have some pain in my jaw. I wouldn't recommend worrying about oral cancer unless you have a sore or something lumpy. My advice to anyone just quitting.... Don't let your mind beat you whether it be telling you to have a dip or that you have cancer.
Here's to another day! I never thought I could hate one legal drug so fucking much.

Good job Gopher. Hate that bitch and I'll hate her right along with you.
Hypochondriacs get sick too!
Quit with you!

Hey bro. Posting roll at 9:25pm ain't gonna cut it. Lets quit all day from now on.

I quit with you today, even though you may or may not be a fan of a really bad B1G team.................which at least is not Michigan, who blows goats.
