40+ days quit and 40 posts??? Might I suggest you invest a little more on the boards and get plugged in.

Attitude, resolve and determination will fuel that quit every damn day

2 Weeks down and still going strong. Everyday still sucks pretty bad but I'm getting through it.

I also want to make mention that today is 9/11. A day that we will not soon forget and a day that I can vividly remember where I was and what I was doing. It is a day that I think about often and a day whose images are still clear as can be. It is a day that instantly changed my outlook and made me even more proud to be an American. United We Stand!

I have never tried stopping before. Quite honestly, I don't read anything on this site besides my own intro page, I don't have time to. The only reason I do this is to remind myself that other people are going through "the suck" like I am.
Anthony, Find the time! Did you have time to throw some shit in your mouth? You need to read, period! If all you do is come on here and post roll, you will get bored and then you'll get the f it's. At the very least READ. There are so many tools here to stay quit. It's all up to you.
Amen Grady! You have to feed your quit. Anthony, every quitter would tell you staying quit takes hard work. It's tough but so worth it.

There is a motto around here - "Take what you need, and leave the rest", so if posting roll daily and leaving works for you then more power to you. I dove in head first and read as much as I could, but that's just me.
Whatever blows your hair back, slick.

The point of posting role and getting to know guys in your group is so that if a day comes where you get that itch for a pinch you think not only about yourself, but people fighting the same battle before you just say "fuck it".

It's easy to let yourself down, I did it for 15 years. But if you really want to quit, and you add some group accountability, it adds another layer.

Makes me wonder if you have it all figured out, how the hell you ended up here in the first place.

Do yourself a favor and read some other stuff on here. I'm sure you can find some time. If you had enough time to cram your face full of shit, you can surely find some time to read some stuff that could save your life.

Thank you, I still don't fully understand why posting roll is so important. I understand the accountability factor, however, I think accountability to yourself is more important than anything else. I haven't had a dip in 6 days and I think about it everyday but I simply tell myself NO. I am accountable to myself. That being said, I will continue to post roll because that is what this site is all about and it will keep all of you from chewing my ass. (no pun intended) But the most important thing to me is and will continue to be that I am a FORMER dipper. I just love the way that sounds.
How many times did you try stopping before? It only takes one successful permanent stoppage to be quit. This site has a proven process and a much greater success rate than anything else out there. It's pretty simple. If you want to be quit bad enough, dive in, read the welcome center items, follow the process and if you're a man of your word, post your daily promise early not to use that day.

Here's a good example for you. Go to your Dec month and read last night's posts regarding Scuba Steve who posted a day 1 last night after 1000 plus days of being quit. Read his words on how and why.

Good job, man. I still wonder why it took you so long, but we all move at our own pace I guess. It feels good to make a promise to yourself and everyone else at the beginning of the day and to have kept that promise clear through the end of the day. Simple, yet effective.

Keep posting roll first thing and start reaching out to your December quit brothers (and other vets) for digits. PM me and I'd be happy to give you mine.

You all talked me into it, at least I think you did. I think I posted roll for the December 2014 PRE-HOF. Check it out because I don't know if I did it right.

Posting roll is your promise to yourself and this community Tony. It is what this site is about. Brotherhood (the brothers/sisters in your group and others) + accountability (posting roll) = success. Many of us tried to quit for many years... Even decades... Before we stumbled across this formula. I hope you join us. Because the accountability, once you buy into it, will save your life.

Congratulations on achieving a start to freedom!

I have made it through the weekend just fine. The hardest part was when I had some adult beverages and was with others that were dipping nonstop but I was able to make it through. When they asked if I wanted some I simply said "NO". I am proud to say that I have made it 5 days.

Also, I have no idea how to post roll, I don't even know what it means. All I know is I have created a contract with myself and I am not going to break it. I have taken my last dip of chew, period.
Gratz on day 5 solo, but why are you here if you aren't going to read up on how to post roll? I'm confused? Do you want our support? Then you need to post roll. If you want a place to post every other day, try a different site. Love to give you support, but we need a daily promise from you. It's that easy.
