This is going well for me so far.

Seeds and mint fake snuff are a lifesaver for this initial stretch.
Just keep it going. Tough times in and out, but you can handle it, yup u got this. Stay strong and keep that shit out of your mouth.
I would rather lose to a cheater than win as a cheater.

I've known I need to quit for awhile now.  It's been over a decade. Had my first dip when I was 16.  I'm now 28. 

I refuse to reach a point where I've dipped for more than half my life.  I'm almost there.

I've completely destroyed my teeth.  I need thousands of dollars in dental work done.  However, I'm too ashamed to go to the dentist and tell them I'm a dipper.  I keep promising my self I'll go get it all taken care of when I quit.  The result: I haven't been to the dentist in 3 years. 

My mouth tastes like shit every morning when I wake up.  Often times I have to use hydrogen peroxide as mouthwash just to make it go away. 

I've progressed to the point where I chew at work nearly all day everyday.  I work in an office building and meet with clients regularly.  If my superiors knew I was chewing tobacco during all of this, I'd probably be fired.  I hide it well I suppose; tucked deep into the side of my cheek.  Nobody ever says anything.  It's only a matter of time until I slip though.  Leave a spitter out.  Get caught putting a dip in. It'll catch up to me

I don't think I can taste anything anymore.  I look forward to being able to taste things again.

I don't enjoy dipping anymore.  After every one, I ask myself why I still do it.  All it does is my make my mouth dry, and leaves my gums hurting.  I still do it anyway.

My girlfriend constantly asks me when I'm gonna quit.  My mom too.  Truth be told, I wish they'd annoy me about it more.  They are scared of my reaction to that though.

So yeah I guess it's time to quit.  Today I had a sudden sense of motivation.

So I dumped what was left of my tin in the toilet, and now I'm sitting here with a half eaten bag of seeds and 3 tins of mint snuff (the fake stuff).  It's been about 4 hours. 

Here we go...
Congrats on the choice to quit! This is my day 1 as well, and i can see what they mean by "Fog" haha. But i know what you mean with the bad taste upon waking up. Some days nothing will get rid of it. I think i'm looking forward to not dealing with that anymore the most. Stay strong, We are in this together! PM me if you need anything or if you just want to chat.
Glad to have you nfc. Very good intro. It sounds to me like you have a handle on how bad the poison is. Your life will be so much better without it. It sounds to me like your tired of being chained to a can. That's how i felt and every other quitter on this sight. That tells me that your here for real. You aren't playing no games. I see you posted roll,, even solidifies it more.

You got your mind right, and thats great, because your gonna need to be 100% in. You addicted to one of the most addictive drugs known to man. You want to quit it's going to cost you. YOUR worth the cost though. Congrats on taking your life back brother. I quit with you today. Need anything give me a pm.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

That a fucking boy! You posted up, didn't screw it up (which 95 % of first timers do, including me!). now have a good evening!
Goddamn right! Welcome to freedom.
So, you see, the puppy was like industry, in that they were both lost in the woods. And nobody, especially the little boy - "society" - knew where to find 'em. Except that the puppy... was a DOG. But the industry, my friends, THAT was a revolution.

NFC,
we've all been there.. My epiphany was 32 days ago. and it seems like an eternity.

this is a quit site, come hell or high water don't pick a can. Instead ride the SUCK, and hang on because your life depends on it.

RIding through those cravings makes you realize you don't want a repeat performance.
I quit and i don't think i have another quit in me. I am going to stay that way one day at a time going forward.
I can do anything a minute at a time. and nicotine is that way. I wants us bad.
seeds, fake shit, fireballs, lemon drops, praying your ass off what ever it takes.

PM me i will shoot you my number.
for that matter anyone here will do the same.

These guys have saved my ass.

Stay close and hold on. It might hurt a little but you can handle it. How do we know? Because we were once you. In fact we ARE you.

Sound advice below. You'd be wise to follow it.

PM me if I can help in any way.

I'm quit with you.

Welcome nfc. I'm sure you're going to get bombarded with great advice from all the knowledgeable veterans on this site (it's what they do, and what we all aspire to, and a big reason this site WORKS). They'll tell you about where to post roll, how the site works, maybe point you toward posts regarding what to expect the first few days, all that stuff. They'll get you squared away. I just want to say congratulations. You're quit. It's over. There is no going back, that door is shut and locked. You did it. All the worry and anxiety and sneaking around - all of it is done. Now, bear down and grit your teeth. Get through the physical withdrawal. Then the mind games and the fog. You WILL emerge on the other side at some point in the future. But don't worry about that now. Get through the next hour, then the hour after that. Repeat repeat repeat. You'll do it. You'll be surprised at how simultaneously easy and difficult it is. The decision has been made. Congratulations.

PM me and I'll give you my number for support. Do the same with others on this site and build a network. Check back in on this thread periodically to let everyone know how you're doing. You got this brother!

Alight NFC....here's my advice...you sound a bit like me when i found this site (not the teeth part but pretty much everything else). I had an "ah hah" moment and i threw the shit out. Let me tell you bud, that 'burst' of motivation goes away in a blink of an eye...you are about to experience 3-7 days of pure bullshit and you are going to need a distraction. You need to read everything on this site, and then re read it. You can do this...but you need to focus on the next half hour...thats all. Get through that and extend it to the next hour...i was seriously saying to myself when i first quit "15 minutes at a time" until i went to bed every night.

Reach out, post roll honor your word...don't make it harder then it has to be. Cheers bud.
Boy I sure could use a beer right about now!
