New quitter

[mattlock]

Craving and fog is subsiding, the smokey mountain definitely helped a bit.
To the asshole who offered me a dip 'Finger' , I quit that shit!

Good job, MrJoshua. I like the dedication and the anger. You should get angry, this asshole just offered you a dose of poison to stick in your face. Hell no I don't want that shit in my lip anymore!

ODAAT. Just get through today!

That's a great win! I am lucky enough to have not been offered a dip yet, but I'm sure it will happen, and when it does, I know I have all the tools I need to turn it down without a second thought.

Thanks for the back-up mcsnapper!
It was a win, but I'm not going to lie, there was second and third thoughts! Almost felt like hot flashes, I thought I was going to fall over due to my head spinning so fast. Now I'm just angry...and hungry, devouring a bag of baby carrots. Just say NO to the sweets, your body doesn't need that crap either.

Quitting today

No fucking thank you, you young little shit!
Why does there always have to be some young bastard that feels the need to pack a dip in his lip, while standing in front of me, and then ask if I want one! What a cock sucker, and yes, he is aware that I quit that shit. Dumb ass, guess he's not smart enough to realize that I'm the project super on this job-site, he has to deal with me for another 8 months...he is on my shit-list and I can make his life hell!
For the record, I declined his offer. Walked back to the job trailer and locked myself in the office. I'm having an argument with myself as I type. Instant fog set back in, face numbness and a craving that is relentless...but I quit today! I will not give in to the chemical lies. Got me some smokey mountain wintergreen, actually my wife picked it up for me when she was out get groceries yesterday. Taste pretty good for being made from the highly evasive vine called the kudzu, even burns a little.

:wood There is some serious quit and support in here...
Good work MrJosh, you got it dialed in

[Ginet]

Get selfish man. It's all for you....everything else is just a bonus. It's for you because of you.......ONLY.

Don't take this battle out on your wife and babies. It is not their fight. Keep yourself in check.

Focus on today. I can't think about being quit for the rest of my life.....that is overwhelming....truly. That is just a set up for failure. You control today. If you wake up, you get to control today.....if tomorrow comes, then deal with it then....

Hey Josh, your story fits the same story a lot of us tell. Quitting for your wife helps, quitting so you won't have to explain to your kids why you have a crushed up weed in your mouth can get you through a few days. But to be quit.....and I'm talking really quit, quit like I will never use nicotine again for the rest of my life quit...you have to make the decision that you are sick and tired of following the orders of the addict in you...spinning whatever lies it has to to get you to cave. This is really a battle within you, and it has very little to do with anyone else. Are you going to listen to your addiction? Or are you going to have the will power to fight off urge after urge? Along the path of all of our quits, our wives and kids have not been there when we've had to make the choice, alone at a gas station...spending the weekend alone when the wife and kids are away....on a night out with buddies, etc. So do this for you. You got this. Good Luck.

My name is Josh Behan and I've been dipping for about 24 years. I'm 40 years old, have two children and a beautiful wife, whom I love more than anything. I've been dipping Grizzly for about 10 years, before that I mainly dipped Kodiak and Cope. I was what I called a distance dipper, I would keep the same dip in for 3 or 4 hours, a full can would usually last 2 1/2 to 3 days. Problem was that I always had one in, right up till I brushed my teeth before bed...and a fresh one in right after brushing my teeth the next morning. Disgusting!!
My kids are getting older and starting to ask more in-depth questions, I'm done dancing around there questions. It makes more sense for me to quit this crap which will end there questions about dip. And my poor wife, she's put up with this crap in mouth for nearly 20 years. She has never really got on me about it, maybe a little when we were first married. Man...I love that woman! I have three great reasons to get this worm shit out of my lip and out of my life for good.
I quit you nicotine bitch, today and forever!!

My story is almost exactly the same as yours Josh. Stick with it bro and let's get through this together. I quit with you today.

[Mrjoshua]

Thanks Cope, I will never remarry that bitch!

Idaho Spuds - I'm on day 3 of posting roll. I know what kub was getting at, I'm not quitting for anyone but myself. In fact, my wife had no idea I had quit until I bit her head off for no reason. I've been kicking around the idea of quitting for a few months and I finally had enough of the can. I've had enough of worrying about how much is left in my can, when and where can I get another, ...tired of all that bullshit. Tired of wasting the money, tired of quick trips to the closest station, tired of stressing out about my 6 month dental appointments and my yearly physical exams. I've truly been blessed with good health for 40 years, I'm done tempting fate. I need to be around for my family. Am I quitting for them? No, but I am quitting because of them.

Congrats on the quit Josh. Your story sounds like mine, but I'm 44 with 3 grandkids, yes I started young, wish I had quit when my children were born, life would be so much easier now.
It will be a rough ride so hang on and don't listen to the Nic Bitch when she starts to whisper in your ear, believe me she will tell you all kinds of things and different reason to come back to her. She still looks sexy right now, but give her time and you will either hate her or remarry and as a member of the BROTHERHOOD, we do not remarry.
You can do this, I quit with you today.

[Idaho Spuds]

Welcome and congrats.
Let me help elaborate on what kub said.

We have all tried to quit for someone else, wives and when children are born, etc. But we have all failed.
Why is that? We are all selfish and have been poisoning ourselves in spite of those we cared about, why would that magically change?

Quit for yourself! You don't want to be a slave to a can, you don't want to get cancer, you don't want to hurt your family and your wife.

Get over to June 2016 and post roll.

Then print out this contract-to-give-up put it in your wallet.

Sorry to tough but this is going to be hard, you can do it and we can help.

Is this quit for you or them? If for you, explain how it is for you. Welcome to the board!
