I was also a late starter. Don't know why I started. Cigs basically killed my dad. I guess me being the dumbass that I was thought dip was safer.

That's in the past now because we are Nic free for today.

Welcome TJB! You are in the right place to quit! You have already been given good advice...use it! The only thing I want to add, and I say this to all the young quitters I meet, is to QUIT NOW WHILE YOU ARE YOUNG! Don't be an idiot like me and others on this board and chew for decades. Now post roll and stay quit!

Welcome TJB. Getting smacked in the face with some truth will get your attention. However, as an addict you've conditioned yourself to accept lies for truth and twist truth to lie to fit your agenda.

Make the quit about you...not the wife, not the kids. They are not important enough to you to get you to be clean.

Hopefully today will suck so bad it makes your head hurt...and then some. Power thru. Make your promise early in the day then white knuckle it to tomorrow.

Shout if you need anything.

After getting fed up with dip, and tired of (after putting a pinch in) asking myself why I even did it... I realized I was getting nothing out of it and it wasn't going to stop on it's own. I realized the only reason I was doing it was because I was addicted. I know this probably seems like a "well, duh" realization to people who don't use nicotine, but I didn't truly want to quit until I had this shift in view of my addiction. Up until then, I'd say I dipped because it made me feel good, or happy, or relaxed. These were all lies (that I even believed myself!), but I finally saw the truth.

Now here I am, ready to quit every day with you all
Welcome fellow August quitter. Drink massive quantities of water the first 5 days then you can cut back some. At day 11 I'm still drinking a gallon a day. I quit with you today.

I read in "True Facts" magazine that in order to be named Trevor after the age of 18, you must prove that your penis is in the 99th percentile in lenght and girth. So by that very true and undisputable fact I am proud to be quit with you today.

Well said TJB

Congrats and welcome, post your promise every day and honor your word. Reach out to others in your quit group and get contact info to widen your net of accountability.

I know we talked the other night, glad to see you posted an intro

We are all here for you bro. Never be afraid to reach out, send me a PM if you need some digits. Number one key to this whole site is to be accountable. Protect your quit, keep your word, and never EVER forget to reach out to your quit brothers/sisters.

When you think you've reached the end of your rope, tie a know in it and hang on.

Stay Quit

Quitter Checking In

Hey guys,

I'm currently on Day 3 and I finally decided it was time to make an intro post!

My name is Trevor, but around here I'll probably be going as "TJB". I'm 26 years old with a fiancee and 9 month old daughter.

I started dipping about 8 years ago when my roommate offered me a pinch. I've tried to quit a few times before, but ended up caving within the first week. This time though, I have a completely different mindset about quitting thanks to you all here and all the great information on this website.

After getting fed up with dip, and tired of (after putting a pinch in) asking myself why I even did it... I realized I was getting nothing out of it and it wasn't going to stop on it's own. I realized the only reason I was doing it was because I was addicted. I know this probably seems like a "well, duh" realization to people who don't use nicotine, but I didn't truly want to quit until I had this shift in view of my addiction. Up until then, I'd say I dipped because it made me feel good, or happy, or relaxed. These were all lies (that I even believed myself!), but I finally saw the truth.

Now here I am, ready to quit every day with you all
