Still not posting roll?

Have you checked out the Welcome Center? (top left side of the page salmon colored link)

I think I've heard this one before. Some addict told a similar story.

You're an addict. Addicted to nicotine. We all are.

It's tough to admit, I know it was for me. The word "addict" did not sit well with me for some reason. Like I was "better" than that. Only crack heads and heroin junkies were addicts.

However when I really though about it, my story was very similar to yours. Dipping/nicotine ruled my life. No matter how I tried to reason otherwise , it was true. I remember one day thinking, "fuck, I'm a God damn addict". Until you can admit that, quitting will be extra tough. I'm living proof of that.

Now I think, "big fucking deal, I'm a nicotine addict".

I don't let it define me, because I fucking wised up and quit.

I'm a lot of things, besides a nic addict...a Dad, a husband, a brother, a friend, a fucking MAN who stood up to my addiction and said "FUCK YOU", and much more.

I'm also hung like a garage door. I will choose to let that define me.

Quit on...

Ok so here it goes... I just recently turned 30 and have been using dip or nicotine in form or another for the past 12 years. The addiction started like most do out on the baseball field in High School. It wasn't to long after that, that I was buying cans outside of baseball.

I used a bit through college, but can remember weeks or months going with a dip. After college it all seemed to go down hill in terms of my use. I was dipping every day, I could get away with it. I had no one to answer to. I would dip after lunch, on my drive home, throw one in before bed.

Fast forward to now and the present day. I have a great job, beautiful girlfriend, but I cant remember a span of more than two weeks in the past 4 year that I haven't had a dip. Traveling with out girlfriend on vacation out of the country is the only time I can remember not having a chew and even then I would buy a back of smokes and have a cigarette or two a day.

Moving in with her 6 months ago was going to be my quit date. That went well, just ended dipping at work and on the drive home. Or better throwing one in while i shower or after she goes to bed.

The truth is dipping rules my life. I enjoy the hours that I am alone that I can sit with chew in. I look forward to my GF going to bed so I can throw one in. Fishing trips with the boys? Sure I can dip the entire day- same thing on the golf course.

I don't want to quit, typing and talking about now makes me want to go get a tin. But the reality is that I am weak - I have tried to quit hundreds of times only to last a day or two. Dipping is killing me-but I continue to do it. My gums are receding, my throat hurts, and but I just continue to buy tin after tin.

I have been on the site before but have just now gotten the balls to sign up. I made it through a wedding weekend out of town this past weekend just smoking a couple cigs, flew home Sunday and put in my last pinch of the Grizzly Long Straight -threw the can in the garage with 4 other empties. Today is Tuesday ...Day 2..

This all sounds quite familiar, but know that this is possible! Many guys have gone down  are walking the same road you started down here. Congrats for that, making it to day 2 is awesome! It might not seem like much at first, but it's 2 days ahead of where you were  2/3 of the way through the first 72hrs!

I know this story well. Waiting for the wife/girlfriend to go to bed. Hinting about how late it is to get her out of your hair. Looking at this sweet girl but all you can think about is putting a cat turd in your lip. Is that really who you've become?

Yeah its retarted when you really think about.

So I am on Day 3- full on fog that everyone describes-

I am going to enjoy my dip free commute home 'bang head' and log on tonight and figure out the roll call etc.

Stay strong.... sent you a couple messages you can do this! Check your inbox.

You think you like it. I get that. But let's be serious. You are here, as am I, because you really do want to quit. Deep down you know it. You signed up on an internet support group forum for goodness sake!

So, it's not a question of whether you want to quit, the real question is whether you are willing to fight for your freedom. I know you can do it, you just need to believe it yourself.

Great job stepping up to the plate! Now you need to own your quit. I read quite a bit of red flags in your intro:
"The truth is dipping rules my life. I enjoy the hours that I am alone that I can sit with chew in. I look forward to my GF going to bed so I can throw one in. Fishing trips with the boys? Sure I can dip the entire day- same thing on the golf course.

I don't want to quit, typing and talking about now makes me want to go get a tin."
This way of thinking is bad mojo for a quit. Do you really enjoy wishing for your GF to go to bed so that you can hide in the bathroom and pack your gob with poison and spit brown slime? You need to read everything on this site. Start with the welcome center (pink button near the top of the page); read the quitter 101 what to expect when quitting, cancer stories, everything. Read intro threads, words of wisdom, and HOF speeches. Get educated about nicotine addiction so you can better fight the poison.

Once again my brother matt is right on. Time to begin getting that mind right. If you reeeeallllllyyyy want to quit your way of thinking has to change. READ, READ AND READ!! Learn you ENEMY!!!!!

These guys are right on. One other thing I saw was that you said it that you are "weak"...

I say BS to that. The addiction to nicotine is a tough battle and you just did not have the right tools to fight it. It is like going out surfing without a surfboard... it will be a struggle without the board and quite likely you will fail. You get my point? KTC gives you the accountability  the tools to battle the evil poison weed that has its clutches in you right now.

You can do this bro! Post roll and let's quit today!

jdiasparra, Welcome man. Congrats on deciding to quit. Ill be the first to tell you that it flat out sucks donkey dick at first but it does get better. This place is full of people who have quit and are willing to help in anyway possible to get you to do the same.

Accountability is the biggest thing here. We post roll everyday as a promise to ourselves and the other people in our group that we wont use Nicotine for that day and that day only. You give your word and your word is your bond. You take it one day at a time. You will post roll call in the Pre HOF January 2014 Nic Killers. January 2014 will be the date (provided you are dead serious about quitting and dont puss out) that you will reach your 100 day Hall of Fame date.

Im 33 and I chewed Copenhagen fine cut for 19 years. Like you, I started young while playing football. I had upperclassman buy it for me and, like you I hid it from my parents by taking 2 hour shits and showers. I got tired of hiding it so one day I just told them and they said that they already knew. The point is, no matter how good you are at hiding it, she probably already knows or at the least, suspects it.

Either way, you are 2 days quit and thats freaking awesome. Im in the same roll call group as you. Im 11 days quit as of today and if your commited to quitting one day at a time with me, Ill do the same with you, without fail.

Reach out to others in the group and to the more senior quitters. Post roll early and everyday and stick to your word. I quit with you today.

Check your inbox because Ill be sending you a PM in a minute
