Still going strong, today was so much easier than yesterday, picked up can of Herbal chew to help with the feeling of needing it in my mouth. emotionally more stable today and I didnt want to kill every single person I encountered today. Hopefully tomorrow is even easier! 'boob'

Magnum is so right, and it gets a lot better quicker than you will think. The only thing I'd add is focus on staying nicbitch free only until bedtime. Focus on your bed at the end of the day. Bedtime is home free for that day, then tomorrow do the same. This battle is won one day at a time, one hour at a time and you (and I) are in some really good company.

Keep eating those seeds if that's what helps. Punching bags work well too.

I can promise you that it will get better. And it gets better sooner than you think. For you, hours might seem like days and seconds like minutes. But I can tell you that when you look back on it, it flies by just as fast as any other day.

Just give yourself the chance to look back on it. The way you do that is post roll when you wake up, honor your promise, and stay active on this site.

Winning combo, you can NOT fail if you do that, its impossible.

Has Weston posted roll, I don't see him....maybe I'm missing something, wouldn't be the first time. And indeed, listen to Nico, embrace the SUCK. Holy crap it sucks, but that's the beauty of it. It's a war wound that many of us wear proudly. Welcome!

Now post roll if you haven't already.

But it is so much easier to drive to the gas station and buy some more dip. Hell I bet they got a 2 for 1 special going right now.

You made it a month without using because you had to be accountable to your buddy and you had a goal. Well you can share a goal with us by not using to day, and be accountable with us by giving us your word.

Lumps, bumps, sore throats, sore gums are stuff I've worried over for half my life. Half my life wasted lying to loved ones because dip wasn't acceptable.

When you quit you will be the envy of the vast majority of those folks that chew around you. They'll admire your guts and fight for taking back control of your life. The fools that won't wish they were in the quit club with you, with us, they are the ones that are committing suicide dip by dip and are resolute with that choice.

Weston,

Had a little episode early this morning eh? Got all fired up? Got pissed off and dumped your shit? Found a fancy little Quit site to validate your efforts? Posted a descriptive little introduction?

Well how are you doing now that it's a few hours later and the reality of your decision has sunk in? Suckin' pretty bad? Wondering how the hell you're going to do this?

YOU NEED TO GET WITH OUR PROGRAM!

You are not really Quit until you have posted roll in September. In doing so you are making a promise to a bunch of other Quitters who are just like you that you will not use that shit today. Then you do that again tomorrow, the day after, and so on. One day at a time.

Time for you to post up son.

You can do this Weston. I am an avid fisherman and I thought that I would never be able to take part in the activity that I love without my precious cope. Turns out that it is just as, if not more, enjoyable without the dip. Be strong and don't give in these first 3 days. I would highly recomend staying away from your dipping buddies for a couple of days and politely ask your room mate to not dip around you for the time being.

The suck is what you're going to go through in the next 72 hours. Embrace it and make sure you remember what it was like. In the future when you have a crave just remind yourself what those first 3 days were like. Become addicted to your quit.

Water, sunflower seeds, sugar free gum, and sugar free life savers are a quitters friend. I would highly recomend adding some excercise routines into your day if you don't do them already. Lots and lots of water.

And last, but most important, sign roll call every morning. It makes you accountable to yourself and all your fellow quitters on this site. Sign it and promise yourself and all of us that you will not use nic for that day.

If you've ready anything on this site, you should know that we don't GUESS or TRY or SEE what will happen. We QUIT. It's that simple. The point is that you control your own destiny. If you want to quit bad enough, you can do this. The pep talks/ass chewings from coworkers or girly's mom won't keep you quit. You've got to flip the switch in you head and face this addiction for yourself. You'll see a lot of people saying "Embrace the suck!" around here. It means the same thing: get engaged in the war. Every day is a battle to be won or lost. You can do this. PM me if I can help.

Well I guess I should start out by introducing myself, I'm only 20 years old but have been dipping since I was 14 and about a can a day for the last 4 years, I'm a student in college and love to hunt, I'm a very avid hunter and work at a hunting shop and my room mate also chews, this puts me in contact with people who are chewing almost 24/7 which will make this a struggle. About 14 months ago I managed to quit for a month, on a bet with a friend to see who could quit longer, he lasted 4 days but our bet 250$ was only if we lasted at least a month, the day that month was up I was back to chewing daily. I didnt really want to quit then and it was definitly a hard month, but now I'm ready. I'm sick of having a copenhagen ring in my jeans and hiding it from my family, but what finally did it was a combination of things, the first was every time I feel a bump in my mouth I get paranoid about cancer, the only guy who I work with that doesnt chew always lectures me about how selfish I am poisining myself, and the end all was the talk my girlfriends mom gave me about how hard it was when she lost her dad to cancer and how she knows how much it hurts to loose a loved one to cancer and I just relized I do not want to put anyone I love through that.


I have been telling myself each can would be my last and I'm sick of that. Tonight I made a decision I flushed my last 3 cans and I've made a commitment to myself. I guess we will see if I can keep up my promise to myself.
