Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

I remember counting by hours bro, count by minutes and seconds if you need to! You posted roll, so now reach out to fellow quitters and get some phone numbers - a timely text can help with a crave. I quit with you today!

Hey DL,

Yes, you already have an impressive group of badass quitters who have your back. Your intro is solid and your attitude is exactly what you need to succeed, one day at a time. Make that promise every day on roll. To hell with tomorrow, you've got today.

Quit with you.

Hey fellas,

I'm 25. Been using tobacco for about the last 8 years or so. Man, that's crazy. Almost a decade of my life addicted to tobacco -- Most of which i've been in a holding pattern, planning to "quit next week." Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.

I have quit a few times before, but eventually, I've caved. This time I've stocked up on Smoky Mountain -- tried my first smoky mountain hours after my last grizz dip. I gotta tell ya, Smoky Mountain has been my rock these last few days.

Anyhow, I'm fucking done with this tobacco shit. I'm tired of the lies and the embarrassment of dipping. I'm tired of freaking out every time i get a sore in my mouth. I'm tired of my blood pressure being through the roof at 25. I'm tired of feeling like a chump for being addicted to something, and then being a slave to that addiction. I'm especially tired of going through this fucking shitty few days after you stop dipping. This is the last time I've ever putting myself through this shit.

I'm ashamed that I ever got started, and I'm ashamed it's taken me this long to quit. But fuck it. It's time now.

So I'm with you guys. I'm committed to this. I'm proud that I didn't dip today. I'm proud of my 89 hours. And I'm proud of the fact that I'm not gonna dip tomorrow either.
Awesome! Welcome to the best of your life!

Early in my quit the "me too" bro thoughts were what kept me going. I realized I was not alone and that the people here were controlled by nicotine just like I was. Make sure you read all you can on the site early in your quit, especially the HOF Speeches and Words of Wisdom. They will open your eyes that you are not alone and we have all been in your shoes and are beating this shit every day.

Quit with you today

Hey DL, good to see you here.

What has helped me tremendously these past few days is knowing you don't have to look too far before you run into someone who has a story a lot like yours. Yours jumped at me right away.

- "Quit next week" holding pattern for year after year? Check.
- Tired of the lies and embarrassment? Check.
- Feeling like a chump about becoming an addict? Check.
- Freaking out about mouth sores? Check.

I'm only day 5. It's early. Don't feel like I have any wisdom to share yet, just a lot of "me too, bro". But I feel good about the new direction. Hope you do, too.

Thanks man. I'm truly blown away by this community. I come in here, post at 3:00 am when I'm feeling shitty (really for the first time since I've quit) and I'm given support instantly. Amazing.

I've been lurking around here for the last couple days. I wanted to get a feel for the community and make certain that my decision wasn't some fleeting thing before I committed to joining the Jackals. After three days (one of which was spent driving for 8 hours), I'm feeling pretty fucking good about myself. But I've been here before and I know how easy it is to ruin the hard work. This time, with KTC's help, and the help of good old Smoky Mountain, I won't be stopped.
DL,

You have the right attitude. Never give nicotine control over you again. Get in here and be active. It will strengthen your quit. Be proud of every milestone you hit but never be complacent. Let me know if you need anything.

Great intro bro.

Jumping in with both feet, like you have, gives you a 100% chance of success. Yeah, you can't fail. Post today. Keep your word. You cannot fail if you are a man of your word. And you are. There is a huge group of quitters that will help you pull through the moments of suck that come about as a result of withdrawal - but you can do this!

I was on high blood pressure meds along with a lot of other meds 857 days ago too. Nicotine can suck it. You are gonna love your new life. Dude if I can help shoot me a pm. Joining here is the best move you've ever made. Welcome aboard!
