Quality quit you have going! I am going to memorialize our deal right here so neither of us forget. You post roll 100% with me through your Hall of Fame date and I buy you your coin.

The catch you do the same for someone else once you get your legs under you!


You are doing this...congrats on day 3 so relief is coming take advantage when it does.

Tomorrow morning will be day 2! Stay close to the site tonight.
Nice job dumping your stash, posting roll and flat out quitting! That is how you do it.

You got to battle and really want this today. You can do this! I'm quit with you today.
Badass move #1 was accomplished when you listened to all these people and pulled the trigger. It's not easy to do that and I commend you for that.

One thing you said in your intro that I wanted to point out as a misperception is that you said the hardest part will be quitting the oral fixation. I full-heartedly disagree with this. The hardest part will be quitting nicotine, i.e. the drug you're addicted to. The oral part, don't even concern yourself with it. Use whatever you need: seeds, jerky, or fake shit that has no nicotine. You're primary concern is to promise not to use nicotine in any form for that day. You make that promise by posting roll. Once you have a quit foundation, if you want to ween off the oral stuff, then do whatever you want,...not putting nicotine in your system,...this is your job, and doing a good job at that will save your life.

Ballsy move my friend. That is how you start a badass quit!!!

As other have said, do not worry about tonight or next hour. When I started there were times that I watched the seconds go by on my watch. Read this site, POST ROLL EVERY DAY. This site works. IF, you drink the coolaid.

If you need a phone number send me a PM, I will be glad to give you mine.

I sent you my number. Feel free to use it!!!

Better yet just have her flush all of it down the toilet, and don't think about it, do it. Make sure you clean out the car and all of the stash holes too. I know about the stash hole.........
Believe it or not, no stash holes. I've already ditched the spit bottle at my desk and will clean the car when I leave work...I'm already stressing about tonight...lol.... :'(
Don't stress about tonight. Finish off the hour first. Then worry about the first few minutes of the next hour. Here's the thing, it's going to suck, but there is only one single thing you have to do, DON'T PUT A WAD IN YOUR MOUTH (or pouch in your case). It's not easy, but it's simple. Just don't do it. After the first few days, you'll start to string a few together and then get your feet back underneath you.

Welcome to the Sultans bro. QLF with you for the rest of the day. We'll see about tomorrow when it gets here.

P.S. You better PM your number to me just in case you need a swift kick in the ass tonight. You've already got mine. Use it and abuse it.

so glad to see this post. I hoped you would be a badass. That is the same way I quit the middle of a workday. Get on chat tonight and we'll talk you through it. My number is also in your pm box feel free to text or call if you need anything.


I WILL MAKE YOU THIS PROMISE....IN 72 HOURS WHEN THE BITCH IS OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS YOU WILL BE PISSED OFF ABOUT HOW EASY IT WAS. WE ARE TRAINED TO THINK IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE BUT I PROMISE YOU IT IS DOABLE...IF MY SCARED ASS CAN DO IT SO CAN YOU. Someone told me early on "it will suck until it doesn't" they were right.

I WILL BE HERE TO SUPPORT AND WATCH YOU TURN INTO THE BADASS I THINK YOU ARE!

QUIT ON!

Damn it, you guys are tough...I think maybe getting blasted from you guys was what I wanted when I wrote that....This is going to be a bitch....I spit a pouch out and made the decision to go ahead and quit...two seconds after i spit it out, I stand up and my hand immediately goes to my pocket and for a split second I almost pulled it out to get one....So...the 4 remaining pouches have been busted and put into the trash....I've got 2 more hours at work and when I get home I'm thinking about taking the remaining cans and dumping them into a bowl, maybe let my daughter pour some bleach or something on them, since she get's on my ass, to quit, when she sees me put one in. I want to do it this way so there's no temptation to dig them out of the trash later...Oh and I'm doing this for me 1st and my daughter 2nd...I just know she'll be overjoyed to help me kick it...

Oh and by the way, the coffee in Green Mountain Coffee, breakfast blend K-cups packs pretty good...Thanks for the push..here goes nothing everything........

I was reading your intro and then I got to your "weak will" comment ... then you started calculating when you'd be out of Cope and timing the arrival of your dip substitute. Geez...

Read your intro again... does that sound like a bunch of BS or what? Haven't you come up with a scheme like that 100 times before... or even more? What is going to make this time different?

You are on a site for quitters and you have people putting their word on the line every damn day. Now, you come along and tell us that you came up with a calculation for you to quit sometime down the road.

The only way to do this is to quit now. We were all you at one time and we all know that tomorrow never comes. Actually, tomorrow was always our excuse. It is time to put on your big boy pants, trash your stash and quit. That is the only way. We are here to help you, but you need to take the first step. You ready?

Yea the oral fixation can be a bitch but it does pass. I used smokey Mountian for most of my first 100 days. I also used chantix. I think it helped but it did give me some weird and vivid dreams. Planned future quits seldom materialize. I liked smokey Mountian much better than baccoff. After 40+ years of intense using and now being quit for over 2 years I can say that getting past the first few steps; making the decision (really making it), deciding to use every tool available 100%, facing the pain head on and accepting that it was a price I had to pay for my many years of abuse. Today I quit because I enjoy the freedom
