Keep with it.
No nicotene in any form!
Post roll each and every day (WUPPED - wake up, piss, post every day).
Some people substitute tooth picks or candy. I decided to fight the oral fixation at the same time by using no substitutes. You can do this. Share your digits with a few members and quit hard. You have already taken the most important step in your journey.

Hell, I didn't start until I was 27, quitting at 23 is EPIC!
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Thanks fellas! Yeah, I'm only 23....but after lurking around here, I've realized nothing about this addiction is going to change on its own. Time to do something about it!

I already found roll call useful this morning, did it instead of thinking about the nicotine I wanted to wake up.

Thanks guys!
Awesome! Do that every single day first thing in the AM and you won't be a multi decade user like most of us.
Wake up in the morning, post roll. It will keep you quit, as long as you are a man of your word! Greta decision.

Hey Chase! Congratulations on making one of the best decisions you will ever make. Really happy to see you jumped right in and posted roll in Feb18. This is going to be a whirlwind ride, my friend, but today you made the right choice to not go it alone. You just picked up a quit family and all of us here - and especially all those foggy headed bastards in Feb18 - will be here to support you along the way.

You can do this. Because thousands of us here have, and we are by no means super heros. Just a bunch of crazy ass nicotine addicts posting our +1s every day.

Welcome.
Just one and you will be back to where you started, and where you started was desperately wishing you were where you are now.

Welcome. Wow I wish I had quit when I was your age.

Keep posting roll early every morning. Get involved with your February group, and trade some digits.

Proud to quit with you.

Here We Gooooooooo
« on: November 11, 2017, 02:47:00 PM »
Hello all - I don't quite know what I'm doing, but figured I'd post my intro and story.

First started chewing off and on in high school. Started becoming a serious habit freshman year of college and have been a 1 to 2 cans/day dipper ever since. 5 years later and I've decided it is time to give up my Grizz Wintergreen. The health consequences can be scary, but it's never concerned me enough to quit. It's taken this realization of how much control it has over my life. It's ridiculous to think about how much time and energy has been put into sustaining this addiction, and the only thing I've gotten in return is guilt and feeling self conscious.

Haha - it actually is crazy. If I could add up all of the time where my thoughts have been related to dipping in some of way or another - it would be insane. Hours, Days, Weeks, probably even Months. It's time to take that back and get a little control.

Threw my last can of Grizz away 4 days ago. I did switch to the nicotine gum and snus for a couple days. It was a significant drop in the nicotine I'm used to, but it still wasn't quitting. I started lurking around here, and everything I read called me out. It was enough to get me to throw that crap away. Thank god it did, I knew I was bullshitting myself and just needed to hear it.

So the last time I ever used nicotine (of any kind) was 11/10/17 at 10am. Day 2 now - it's rough but I'm feeling positive. Figured I'd sign up and post today. I feel like I've truly quit for good this time and there's no way I'll go back. But everything I've read says joining is extemely important, so here I am.

Well....thanks for letting me rant. Here we goooooo!!!!
