This will not work... you will never stay quit if you quit for your kids.

If you aren't quitting for yourself you will soon enough blame the kids for causing you to crave. You know, like those times the little guy is up screaming all night long, and just one dip would get you through it all... yeah those times.

Don't mean to sound harsh be we have seen it happen too often here.

Rethink your strategy and make sure you are here for yourself and not anyone else.


By the way, did I read it wrong or are you not going cold turkey this time?

I am on there. Back again today. Day 2, not as bad as I remember the cold turkey being. Very foggy head and a lot of sinus pressure and headache, but from a craving standpoint not bad at all. Seeds and the smokey mountain have been helping a lot.

Yes, I dumped it out in the trash...completely gone.  Where is roll call located?  I have looked all over and cannot find it? 

Sorry, head in clouds a little today.  Thanks.
Click on quit groups and then click on the Feb 2012 group. You will see roll call there.
I don't see you on roll call. You going to quit?

Welcome to the site. Visit the welcome center
index.php?showforum=13

You also need to completely dump the contents of that can in the toilet. By the end of the day all you will be thinking about is digging it out of the trash. Look around and spend some time getting rid of all cans and spitters. Don't just throw away, you need to flush it.
Welcome. Go read the information provided at the link above about why we post roll and how to actually post roll call on this forum. Then go post roll.

Yell if you need anything.

Well, it's gonna get worse before it gets better. You can and will make it through if you keep coming here every day and re-commit to the quit, every day. You don't have to quit forever, you only have to quit for today. Then do it again tomorrow. Get ready for the headaches, craves, and whacked out dreams, and if you need to have a fit, do it here.

Just threw my can in the trash!!!
« on: November 07, 2011, 08:59:00 AM »
Hi Everyone,

My name is Rick, I am 31 years old and have been dipping daily since I was about 16 years old. Skoal Straight Long Cut guy, for the last few years a Grizzly Straight guy. At my worst "right now" I would chew about a can a day. I'm married with a 2 year old little girl and a son to be born any day now. I am doing this for my kids. I quit before my daughter was born for about 6 months and made the fatal mistake thinking I could have just 1 dip with some buddies. We all know how that turned out, hooked instantly.

So here I am again, it's about 9AM....had my last dip last night around 11PM. Actually the withdrawal so far hasn't been too bad. Head in the fog a little with a slight headache, no biggie. I went and bought a few bags of seeds and bubble gum. So far so good on day 1.

Totally new to this site, so anyone please feel free to show my the ropes on how to log in daily for roll call etc.

Rick
