It is 6:00 PM (CST) and James12 has not posted roll today. He also has not responded to a text message sent him earlier. What is the problem James? We post roll daily and we post early. That keeps us accountable. Are you still with us and want to be accountable? Your actions and your word is how we will both help and judge you.

Welcome James  all the best to you as you start down this road again. It's entirely possible to make a quit stick using the accountability  brotherhood here. Drinking does kill many a quit so it's good of you to recognize that already might be an issue. There are threads on the boards here, I think in the wildcard section, for guys that are trying to quit other things too like alcohol. But no, nobody will think you're weird if you don't drink. Most people I know don't. There'll probably be some that think it's weird, but there are some that wonder why a guy would want to quit dipping too. At the end of the day, it's up to you to be a man  stand for what you believe in no matter what others think or don't think. You're already there, having admitted it in this thread.

Welcome aboard James...and nice job of posting roll today. Roll is your daily promise to yourself and all of your new brothers and sisters that you will not use tobacco in any form that day. You will post your name and the number of days you are quit each day in the January 2014 quit group. Each and every day you will post your promise. No exceptions. That is the price of admission to KTC. Nothing more and nothing less. The reason you are put in January is that will be the month if you join us today that you will celebrate being 100 days free of nicotineÂ…your Hall of Fame date.
Now that you know the basics, it is time to read all you can on this site. Go to the welcome center and that will get you started. Look up at your inbox (1). That is a personal message from me with my telephone number. Congratulations on taking back your life. Wayne

Thank you for the replies. I am down in a hole and the only way out is to move up and to stop digging with dip.

Hey James,

Welcome aboard. Make this quit your final one! Post that roll every morning, get to know people. Sounds like you know plenty about the suck factor if you've tried this before. Today is day 8 for me and I felt decent. Let me know if I can assist in any way. Stay strong brother!

Hi everyone,

I've been dipping on and off for the past 10 years. Started heavy in college with skoal pouches and quickly moved to the more real stuff, Copenhagen Long Cut. I was up to a can a day. I was able to put together some pretty long quits. Hundreds of days. After college I was able to quit for 2 years+. I know how much better life is without tobacco but I can't seem to keep my quit going. I've noticed lately that I am dipping 1+ cans a day. Dipping is always on my mind and I am in a constant state of withdrawal. I always tell myself that this is my last can but that is dishonest. It never works.

Relapsing is almost always accompanied by drinking and I must quit that too. It is so hard though. Especially living in American culture and when it is something that I've done since high school. I have this strange fear that when I tell people that I don't drink that they will think I am so crazy alcoholic (which I am). I don't drink every day, not even every week. But when I do drink, I like to drink a lot and get blackout drunk. This has to stop because if it doesn't, I will start dipping again.

I am glad I have found this site and I hope to be able to contribute as much as I take. My plan is to post every day and to replace my addictions with healthy habits like exercising, reading, and cooking healthy food. I look forward to starting this journey NOW! I will see you in the quit groups.
