Awesome. Saw you post last night. Good job. Now start posting first thing each morning. It's habit replacement. As slaves to nic, all of us were I the habit of reach for a can first thing each morning. Now reach for your phone and post roll. Then no time is left uncovered by your promise for that day. Start making friends in your group. Take the hand of everyone that reaches out to you. Build a network around you. It becomes a chain that is locked into the anchor of all that Kill the Can is. Shoot me a pm anytime.

Nice intro post. Your in the right place. Id actually have more to say if I saw that you were really serious and were going to post roll. That's how it works here. Post roll first thing in the morning. Posting roll is your promise for just that day. Then wake up and repeat. From one north texas guy to another, get your ass in there and post. Need help go over to my name on the left side on you can pm me through the site.
If you really want to do this, it's gotta be for you. You've never quit before,youve had brief stops. Like the badass before me said get your ass on roll and let's get this quit on the road. All it takes is posting roll early, EDD, ODAAT! Quit on!

No luck required.

Give your word that you quit for TODAY and keep it. You got this, take it one step at a time. Post roll in Sept 16 that you will be quit today.

I remember the first pinch like it was yesterday. When you grow up playing baseball in north TX it's what you do, dip snuff. It was Copenhagen and I got the same advice everyone else did- don't swallow. I didn't that time and kept doing it. I was cool having the bulge in my lip and spitting like everyone else. That was my sophomore year of HS and 28 years ago. I went from the proud dipper to the ashamed ninja-dipper I was until yesterday. I was no longer the kid with the bulge in his lip but the man with the hidden secret. I kept my can in my bag and you would never see a ring in my pocket. I'd steal a pinch and keep it hidden for hours. Id move it from one side to the other when it dried out. I would do everything everyone else has done on this site to hide it and hated every time I did it. My wife hated it and I can't even guess how many disagreements the pinch caused.

I can't even count how many times "I quit". I know I've quit buying before but only quit once for 6 months since I started. It only took 1 pinch to feed the monster again. Dec 16 my wife gave birth to our beautiful twin girls. I don't want them exposed to this. I don't want them to be exposed to snuff-breath. For the first time in actually committed to the quit. I'm really all in and done with this.

I know what's in store for me and I welcome the nausea, dizziness, anxiety, mood swings and everything else that comes with it. I'll be here every day for roll-call through the ups and downs. It might not be my best me everyday but it will be me.

Good luck to everyone out there fighting the good fight of being snuff free- I'm now joining you!!
