Quit Yesterday, bullshit today

[husky086]

Hey Johnny - I just welcomed you in to the March group on the HOF board.

Hold on to your hat, because it's going to suck before it gets better. My first 3 or 4 days were horrible. I felt like I was in a haze and my addiction to nicotine tried everything to try and get me to just do "one more" dip.

Don't listen to it. As much as it sucks, it does get better. Everyday you'll feel a little more in-control.

Jump online if you can, or PM one of us for a phone number. Become one of the safety net here and you'll never have to feel like you're alone in your fight. We're all in the same boat and fighting the same fight.

One last thing - to paraphrase what others have said on this board - there isn't any luck involved in this fight. This is about your will to keep your word. This is about being accountable for your actions and taking control of your life.

You've already taken the first step, now put into this board as much as you can, and you'll see why this quit will be different from any other times you've tried to quit.

See you tomorrow for roll.

[Ready]

Welcome.

You can do this. Post roll giving your word of honor that you will not use nicotine in any way shape or form. Do it again tomorrow.

Keep your word.

Simple - yes.

Easy - not on your life.

Will it ever get better - You have no idea how great things will get.

Hey fellas, I decided to quit yesterday and found this board today. Very glad I joined to see a lot of other people like me. Started "lightly dipping" when I was 16/17 years old. I'm 26 now and dip more than ever. 1 can a day, everyday. Even if I'm sick I still dip. If I ride a motorcycle I'll put a dip in under my helmet. I'll dip on the pot or anywhere else. Not anymore though. My 6 month old son started noticing my spitter when sitting on my lap. He's tried grabbing for it several times and I know if he got a hold of it he'd try to drink it. So I said i'm done, fuck it, i'll save some money. Been really pissed off today though, and i feel like I don't even make sence. My lip feels like shit because i've crammed just about anything else in there today trying to take the place. Tried some of the non-nicotine chew. Shit sucks, that'll make you quit on it's own. Oh well, i'm done ranting now, fuck it. Good luck to all!
