Day 1

Thanks man. Hope I didnt say anything wrong in my post. Just stating how I felt about it. I know its the nicotine that makes you want to associate positive words with using it. Its a B**** like that. I understand it is a no nicotine site and as long as I am a part of it I plan to live nicotine free.

Thanks.

There is nothing wrong you can say in an introductory post my friend. As long as you say you are quit, you will get the respect you just earned. The way I see it, you are off to a great start. You see the nicbithch for what it is.
From time to time, if it gets off track, folks may help you get your thinking straight . Take from it and learn. I have, and it has helped me get my 20 days in.
Welcome, post roll, and protect your quit.
I quit with you.

My name is Pat. I am 27 and I have been a half-can-a-day slave to dip for the past 13 years. This may be the most difficult thing I have ever done and I am already going through a stressful time in my life. I have tried to quit before but did not make it past a week. And I have told myself I will quit after I accomplish my next goal, after I get into graduate school, after my next birthday, once I have a girlfriend, once I have a kid... the excuses go on and on... Dip has been a part of my life just as a relationship would be. It was the first thing I did in the morning and the last thing I did at night. I looked forward to getting back home to my can when I was out (usually I just brought it with me). I literally think I love it if that is possible. I have mistakenly drank my dip, which was in a coke bottle, twice in a row. Just 2 nights ago I was at a nice restaurant and had a dip in after dinner and dropped my cup on the ground. This wasn't the first time this has happened but it was an eye opener for me. My friends girlfriend was disgusted. I used to think and say stuff like "I don't give a S***" and "people can think what they want" and maybe thats why I have been single for over a year. I am tired of being a slave to this crap. I want to quit. I want a nice smile. I want good breath. I want to keep my jaw right where it is. I want to live a long, healthy, and prosperous life. I found this website last night and just reading other people's posts has given me the strength necessary to start my quit. So I introduce to you day 1...

This site can help you kick your nicotine habit to the curb. We don't use words like try or hope as they are just another excuse for our addictive brains to tell us another lie. There are no short cuts, but here are some links that will help you navigate this site.

This a NO NICOTINE site. End of discussion. Why this Site Works

Biggest thing to do is get acquainted with this site.

Highly recommend you go here: Welcome Center, Getting Acclimated, What to Expect   Top Ten List

Your quit Decision MUST be 100% about you. Anything short of that sets you up for failure by allowing your addict brain to blame a given situation as reason for you to go back to the can. Quitting out of fear of a medical issue fades as soon as the doctor or dentist gives you a clean bill of health.
