Sorry all I have been absent from here but holding strong. Day 10 and I am starting to feel a lot better, fog lifted and I am only chewing 1 pack of orbit gum a day now, lol. I was demolishing those packs of gum for the first week but the oral fixation is decreasing. Been running and lifting a lot, I still do not 100% understand how to post roll, however I am on here reading every morning. Just wanted to say things are going well, KTC is the piece I have been missing all the other times I tried to quit thank you for all the support.

Facebook is for status updates... not KTC.

If you really wanna make this work, why don't you put in the effort to figure out roll?

It's the price of admission here. Doing it on your own sucks... jump all in, man.

GrizzlyMike,

where y'at dude? Quitting doesn't take a day off! Find some way to get your name on roll, then honor that posting. Hang tough, but BE THERE.

Hey man,

I just posted my first post. Reading your post was like reading a story about myself. Same exact thing and methods. Same motivation/reason to quit.

We will be in this together.

I see you attempted to post roll. It didn't quite work right. Don't feel bad. It's a retarded process, one designed to frustrate you early in your quit. You have to work hard for the most valuable things in life. Roll is valuable to your quit.

The only way to fock up roll is to miss it.

You don't have to quit forever. Just quit for today. Anyone can quit for a day. Just do this. Tomorrow, come back here and let's do it again!

Welcome to the forum Grizzly. You definitely are not alone in the ninja dipper category. I did everything that you mentioned. It feels great to stop the lies. There's a ton of help here so take advantage. Look forward to seeing you posting roll every morning.

Good first post and it looks like you have some awesome quitters behind you already Mike. Admitting your addiction is indeed the first step. Now we need to get you through "the suck". The first week or so will be difficult. You can do it! You really just need to want to do it.

Post roll every day as soon as you get up in the morning. Get back here during the day and read, read, read. Believe it or not there are probably hundreds of quitters who have a story similar to yours and they have already typed out exactly what to expect and how to get past the tough times.

If you need digits send me a PM! I quit with you today!

You can do it Mike. You just have to want it badly enough. Sounds cliche and overly simple, but it's the truth. If you want it badly enough, you will not put that worthless, carcinogenic, filthy worm dirt in your mouth today. Can you make it through the day? Perfect. Wake up and do it again tomorrow. Soon enough, you won't give nic thoughts two shakes. Give it everything you've got and it will pay you back a hundred fold.
What that King said is TRUTH.... read as much as you can about how that insidious weed screws with your brain (WAY after the physical withdrawal is complete you'll be messed up in the head). Build a support network with your fellow September quitters (exchange numbers....get to know them....make sure you have built an accountability web with them). This site, and the folks on it, know that it works, but YOU have to MAKE IT WORK. Not easy, but simple. Wakeup, piss, post roll, honor your word, and do it all over again tomorrow. Freedom is so much better than sucking a cat turd....

I was a ninja dipper and I will tell you it feels great to be free. I can finally be honest. I told me wife...I think on day 7...she was really cool about it. FYI...she had no idea I did it and still doesn't really care about my quit. You have to do it for YOU! That is the only way...it will suck and be really hard...but keep fighting ODAAT and you can get your freedom. I'm on day 159 and I love being quit. Nice intro...reminds me all the things on why I wanted to quit.....thanks. I PM'd you my digits...

Hey Griz! As you will find you are NOT ALONE in this quit. Many of us are "former" Ninja dippers. I was and felt the same way you do. It totally sucked an was extremely stressful. Just having that stress gone and not having to stop at the damn store everyday made me feel REAL GOOD especially early on when you feel like junk. Hang in there man!! You got this.
