Taking The Leap

[Rawls]

Remember in the army how they always made us accountable of our battle buddy?

Well here on this site we are all battle buddies, and we are all fighting for the same cause.

Keep the nic outta your system and I will excitedly quit with you tomorrow for your day 1.

Stay quit brotha.

Welcome Augie Soldier... Thank you for your service also.

You can actually post Roll day 1 today.
It starts the moment you promise not to use.

Go here... topic/11203031/

Directions are on the main page.

As for as advice....Don't think about tomorrow. Just think about the next few minutes.
Drink water... go walk.... drink more water. Sleep and repeat.

Then post roll day two tomorrow first thing in the morning.

I quit with you today.

Welcome Augie, and first of all, thanks for your service. All of us can share in the sentiments from your introduction, but the one that stand out the most to me? NONE of us quit on our own, and NONE of us quit before we found this site. Seems crazy, but this site can be your golden ticket, it's all a matter of how you choose to use it.

Start digging into the reading material on here and swapping numbers with other quitters. It may sound weird, but these guys (and gals) are your lifeline, and the vets will tell you that you WILL need them at some point along the way.

If you can stand the line in some of the most fetid places on earth, you can quit dipping. It's hard, but nothing you can't do if you put in the time/energy/effort. There's a dude in our quit group (October 2015) that posts roll on deployment every day with us. So get over there and start building up your accountability, and then read read read. You've got this if you really want it. Do you?

Hello Everyone. I've been a dipper since summer of 2002, started at 18 and I'm now 31. Wow, almost half my life I've been dipping. I'm sure this story sounds familiar to some of you, I picked up this habit in the Army. I was 18, serving, feeling independent and manly, saw some friends dipping and figured I'd give it a shot. It started slow, a few dips a week just to be social. I'd go without a pinch for days even weeks on end. Then I started doing it more steadily and it got to the point where I started getting nervous, fidgety, and uncomfortable when I didn't have a dip in. I used the excuses of "it helps me focus" or "helps me stay awake" or "helps pass the time". Now I wake up with a dip and I have one in pretty much all day and scoop it out only to eat/drink and sleep.

I've tried quitting before using everything from cold turkey to patches and gum. Nothing really worked because I didn't REALLY want to quit, I just KINDA wanted to. Well, I'm out of the Army now and I am leaving this habit behind me. I've been here before (not this site, but this situation) and it only lasts at most a few hours before I pussy out and find an excuse to put a new dip in. "TOMMORROW" I'd say. Well, I came across this site about half an hour ago and started reading posts. Really struck a chord. I swiped out the pinch I had in my mouth, flushed what was left of my can and came here to post. I'm already nervous about how this will go due to my failures in the past but I really don't see any other options that will realistically will work.

Anyway, I'm glad I found this site. Any advice would be more than appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Welcome, first thing is learn how to post roll. That is your promise that will quit for today, just today and not tomorrow. We quit one day at a time. I'm not going to lie it's going to suck, suck really bad but it will get better. You will be in the October group. There some bad ass quitters here thatwillhelp you along the way. You have made the right choice and I quit with you today.

Augie my friend this shit is tough. You gotta be a man, it's gonna suck till it don't but get posted up, get the tools from these badass quitters! The price of advice is post roll, so be the man get it done! I quit with you today!
