Two big statements here... you need to make accountability more than "a portion" .. commit to being accountable for your quit for the first 100 days than start taking it back as you prove you are worthy of control.

Staying in the closet allows you to slip back in instead of being accountable. Best thing you can do is to share your secret with a few real life accountability partners. Remove the comfort of an escape door!

Get into your quit group, post roll and become accountable.

Nothing wrong with falling down, as long as you get your ass back up, head and eyes up off the deck, and continue to march. Admit to yourself that you are a hopeless and helpless addict. Get into your group and take the lead. You obviously know how to quit, so lead these kids who are here for the first time. Be involved and stay involved. Be as committed to the quit as you are to your wife and kids. You're not the only one here who has 'tried' to quit, you don't have to be the one who keeps trying and never quite gets there. Get in the chat room and make the big commitment. We'll be watching out for you.

Tim, not trying to be a dick here. But I really want you to sit back and think damn hard about the title of this post.

You fuck it up this time...there probably gonna be another 5 year run. You gonna keep gambling with your life or choose to succeed?? Failure is not an option. Burn the boat.

Here with you Wareagle.

Amazing how many others felt the same way about being a closet dipper but it took getting on here and reading the thoughts of others to understand you aren't alone and there is strength in numbers.

Congrats on making the right decision!

I used killtheccan.org back in 2007 to quit for almost 60 days. It was amazing how much the accountability portion helps. I caved around day 58-60, and I still regret it 2 years later.

I'm 32, have a wife, 2 small kids, and I want to see my children have families of their own. Also, I want a release from the control that nicotine has on my life. That, aside from death, is probably the single biggest contributing factor in my decision to quit. I am a closet dipper, and it is so sad the things I will do to get a dip. My constant deceitful behavior wears on me. I would like to wake up in the morning not thinking about my first dip.

This time I will succeed, I will quit, I have had enough.
Your not alone! I a m 38 with 5 kids. I was able to stop for a few weeks I think in 08' with the help of this site. For whatever reasons I caved and think where I could be now if I would have fought through that cave. I would be around 600. I hid from everyone to ensure I got my nicotine fix. Always wondering if I left any evidence around to get busted. The guilt waking up and looking at myself in the mirror disgusted with who I see. Developing into a hypochondriac and wondering am I going do die from this. And then the hiding away and dipping again only to repeat the day over and over again.

I am happy to say I made it 7 days so far and you can too. Dont be a statistic do what you have to do to get through and stay committed. You first and then for your family.

Good luck and just do it this time forever and dont look back.

PM me if you need anything.

Finally Quitting
« on: November 28, 2007, 05:05:00 PM »
My name is Tim, I am 30, and I have been a heavy dipper for well over 15 years. I quit dipping on Nov. 21, 2007. Like most, I have quit a few times, for maybe 6 months at the most, but never permanently. This time will be different, I owe it to myself, my wife, and my son to be around for a long time.

My story also sounds identical to so many on this site. Started off as the cool thing to do during wrestling and baseball seasons. Then became a year round habit. I started dating my wife in 9th grade, around the same time I started dipping. She knew I did it, but was definately not receptive to it. She has given my ultimatum's I don't know how many times. The last 5 years or so I have been hiding it from her. This has probably been one of the hardest things about being a dipper. It is not fun to lie to your spouse, but I felt like she gave me no option. She did not see it as an addiction, she just felt like I was weak, which I guess she was right. I have done it all to sneak dips. I even used to go take a 10 minute dip while she fed our son, without her knowing, really pathetic.

This is where my story differs from most. I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease when I was 19. Hodgkin's Disease is a cancer of the Lymph Node System. The Hodgkin's was in no way related to dipping, but it was still cancer, and I still had radiation and chemo. So one would think I might be smarter than the rest of you, but nope, the dip was stronger. My wife went through the cancer treatment with me as my girlfriend back then, so I understand why she despises it so.

Ultimately, I have been a quitter for 8 days now, and yes it has been tough, but I feel more connected with my family now. We have a 19 month old, and I don't find myself trying to get away to sneak a dip. I love not feeling the jittery feeling of wanting a dip around 9:00 pm.

Good Luck to everyone else out there. Let's beat this crap together.

Tim
