hey everyone-Im new- dipping for the majority
of the last 30 years
Time to quit
nervous, anxious, etc
many good reasons to quit, none to stay active
glad to be here
Congratulations and welcome to the best decision that you can make for you and your health.
All we ask is one day at a time. If you pledge you word for a day, then do everything in your power to keep the nic out of your body. That means no cigs, cigars, dip, chew.....patches, gum replacement....NOTHING.
Jump into that salmon Welcome Center link, read up, your group at 100 days will be the Feb13, so will be looking for your word posted up daily in that thread.
I quit with you today.....do the same.

It is going to take a determined attitude, objective and an all out battle to win this.
First you said that there are many reasons to quit. We all had and have many reasons to quit. I thought I could quit for my wife, my kids, my health, my God, the costs etc.
Now that I am quit for 248 days after 21 years of pauses to only pick it up again...the difference is that this time I quit for me. I wanted to quit. Everyone else benefits but I loved myself enough to quit for me.
I sure hope you see nicotine as an evil seductive mistress that ruins lives and drains your ability to dream and achieve. I am so disappointed that I was enslaved to this terrible addiction.
You must have faith that you and only you can do this. Hopefully you do but it humbles you to know your weaknesses and put on your armor to battle this addiction.
Post roll daily! Instead of a dip, you post roll and say, "not today" Don't let your group down. Be a man of your word.
Make friends and get support. When you are craving, go to the site, go to chat and talk about it or get laughing at what a joke and horseshit nicotine living is.
Stay active and focused for 100 days. It gets easier but this is not an easy task. Know that you are making a big change but that it is worth it! Get to the HOF and see how it feels. Until then, expect phases and challenges. Once you hit 100 days, you will have experienced every emotion of recovering and healing. From there phases repeat but is easier because you have been there, done it.
You just had your addiction blinders taken off and realize that you are in hell. The only way to get out is to keep walking. We will walk with you but you sir, you have to move your legs!
If you are quitting to appease or doing this for any reason other than you want to, it will be difficult. If you want this, you will suffer, bleed and fight to be free.
Welcome to the Jungle. It is hard but once you get quitting daily, the burden of quit is much lighter and easier than a nicotine dirt bag addict that thinks they can only cope in life by escaping to a weed that kills.
Get angry and resolved to quit or die. Dramatic but not too far from reality.
FUCK NICOTINE AND THE LIES WE BOUGHT HOOK LINE AND SINKER!
