Snuff - check your pm's - click on Inbox in the upper right hand corner.

...then head over to MARCH and post up your word to not use today.

Glad to have you here. Listen to guys like Skoal Monster - he knows exactly what he is talking about.

Good morning Snuff Hound.

First, very sorry to hear about your Mother!

Quitting is a long road and for some of us, we've been down the road before. I found this site a huge benefit and the network of fellow quitters was a huge advantage I did not have before in the past.

Stick with the quit and if you need to chat through a rough time (or even a happy time) just say the word.

Thanks for the no-bullshit words of advice.

This is my first time to ever quit and it WILL be my last because I've never failed at anything I set my mind to. I have to admit that the withdrawal had me shivering like a bitch after I finished my workout this morning. I suppose it's one of those triggers I keep reading about. I then took my mom to her Oncologist for her fourth round of chemo to treat terminal lung, liver and spine cancer and was reminded of why I began this journey almost 4 days ago. My biggest fear is that I didn't quit soon enough and something health related is going to pop up and get me. I can't change the past but I sure as hell can control the present and the future.

So day 3 is coming to an end with only one nic-fit and the rest of the day wasn't bad at all. So far the worst part of this ordeal has been the anticipation of what is to come.............and you know what, if this is the worst of it then I'm golden.

Until tomorrow bitches!!!!

SH~

These guys are right. There is no luck. It is all about will power and support. Support from your family, support from within and support from your Quit Group. You ever have a doubt about why you are quitting, you look at your son and think about him growing up without a daddy. We're here for you and you've come to a good place. It's about you and only you. It's time for you to be selfish so that you can be around when you are needed. Good luck!!!
Romans 10:9 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Snuff Hound here. I just found this site and plan to use it as inspiration to stick with my quit. I'm a 1.5 can a day dipper for 17 years. Red Seal ended up being my drug of choice since it was so cheap.

I'm a few hours away from beginning day 3. I'm finding the "triggers" to be more grueling than the withdrawl so far. Wish me luck. I have everything in the world to keep me motivated......new wife, 11mo old son and a new job.
snuff HOund, YOu dont need luck, either do it or don't do it. Chew never actually sneaks up on you and jumps in your mouth. I can say that you can be 100% successful if you can follow one easy instruction. Dont put any fucking dip in your pie hole.

You need to be quitting for YOU. more than all the others. If your not, the first time Sally Sweetie Pie decideds to uncork her inner unreasonable female uber ego and tells you your a worthless pile of steaming man shat. YOu will dip just to spite her. Thats what happens when yopu quit for her. Same goes for the little honor student . YOu quit for your kids? then you'll resent the fact you had to quit . YOu'll blame the little booger eater for all the shit your going through. See, that aint cool either. That one kid diaper demo squad didnt shove a big ole wedge of copeskullisealberrymintywolffinecut cancer green in you stoopid mouth!. YOU DID.

As for the Job, you can't quit for a job. You can hide dip from a job. YOu can let it fuck up your job, you can let it get you fired from you job. But probably shouldnt quit for the job.

YOU GOTTA QUIT FOR U and u first. Then you quit for them,

"CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit. After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco."
