Today's my first day dip-free. I'm not going to come on here thinking it's easy to quit because if it was this wouldn't exist. I know I reached a point in my life where I NEED to quit and I'm ready to.

I started dipping junior year of high school. I told myself I'd quit when I went to college, then my senior year, then after graduating. I've been out of college for 2 years now still dipping (until today) and it hit me that dipping was no longer a "thing I was doing for a couple years" but now a 9+ year nicotine addiction and it needs to end.

Welcome aboard, and to Project Mayhem, Muffinman. Lots of solid guys on the site -- both in your new quit group and amongst the more seasoned quitters. It's a pretty straightforward formula: no nic of any kind, take it one day at a time (ODAAT), and when in doubt, dive into the site -- veteran profiles, diversionary threads, texts / calls with guys you meet, live chat room, etc. Everyone wants to see you have a successful quit, and we're only focused on seeing you do it ODAAT. Don't over-think it. Check your inbox, and look forward to quitting with you tomorrow.
Damn, Krusty was up late!

Welcome into the May group, Shmuffinman! Quitting is simple, but it is hard. Two things you have to do every today, post roll and NO NICOTINE in any form. No smokes, pills, patches, gum, enemas...whatever. There are 1000's on this forum pulling for you.
When you can, read! Some real nuggets of wisdom scattered throughout this site. Pull up a chair in the LIVE CHAT room, always good for a laugh or to blow off steam.
Drink a LOT of water, exercise. You're going to be on an emotional roller coaster, it's the price we all paid to shake the nicotine addiction. Glad to have you in May!
Oh do you know the muffinman, the muffinman, the muffinman?
Are you gonna post roll and quit with us? :wacko:
A 9+ yr addiction.... I remember a time like that in my life. There was no KTC and the next thing I knew it was a 25 yr addiction.

Get in here now and post roll. That is your word that you are quit. Nothing else does that. Quit today!
Welcome to the May group! Congrats on today. remember you only have to do this one day at a time. On my day 2, it was one hour at a time. If I can do this, you can too.
RT, way to pay it forward!


Just posted roll, i'm in this for the long haul. Ready to quit with the rest of you.
glad to be quitting with you in the may 2014 class, quit on!!
Good muffinman! Same thing again tomorrow. (Only earlier)

Welcome to the ranks! We all know the feeling of coming to the realization of addiction. It ain't pretty to look at but it's good to know where you stand for once in your life. You are making the right choice and it will be so worth it in the end. Stay focused on today and today alone. I quit with you today!
