Want to bump this back to the front for a minute;...this small, simple task you did today...is awesome. Posting roll is the most important thing you will do in your quit. I don't know you personally, but I know the addict in you. I bet that you've tried quitting before, a number of times, and have failed. We've all failed. There are a number of reasons we failed, but one of the biggest is due to the lack of accountability. When the only person you are accountable to is yourself, the addict, there's no disappointing the addict. The nic bitch wants you to fail. She's betting on it. Now you have accountability. A ton of people in your September quit group are expecting you to keep your word for that day. You are expecting them to keep their word to you as well. This creates accountability, and subsequently a brotherhood.

So, this small task you did today is badass in my eyes. I just wanted you to know the magnitude of that task and realize that random folk like myself are watching your quit. We're rooting for your quit, and we are damn glad to see your name on roll.

My name is Paul and Ive been dipping Skoal straight for about 11 years. I am ready to quit chew for good. My wife and I have our first child on the way this fall and I would rather be around for my family than chew tobacco. Also the recent stuff with Jim Kelly and Tony Gwynn ( two of my childhood heroes) has hit close to home. I want this to be the end of it for me while I understand it is going to suck. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and I appreciate any tips or help that anybody offers.

PS Im already over 24 hours since my last dip which is really exciting! Longest time without a dip in over a decade
Paul,

The freedom from the can is a great feeling. Day 7 and Im effen stoked at how I feel.
Post roll early and promise to be poison free. The Sultans will have your back.

Cheers on your decision to save your life.

Joe

Good start!

Did you flush, dump, and/or dispose of it all? You don't want that crap anywhere near you... Too easy to cave and have "one more" ...or be like a crack whore digging in out of the trash can.

Get on point and post early in the morning. First thing before you even hit the head. Start the day strong and keep you word. You WILL beat this one day at a time.

Welcome!!! This is perhaps the best decision you will ever make! Your life will get better in too many ways to count, but you will have to fight for it. I suggest you read everything on the site. Posting roll is sacred and should be done every day with no exceptions. That is your promise to be nicotine free for the next 24 hours. Get to know people in your quit group, dive in and get involved. I'm 240 days of proof it can be done. PM me if you need anything!

The most important motivator for you... I mean THE MOST IMPORTANT?... Quitting for you.

Just you.

Your family won't keep you quit. The horror of your heroes dying from cancer will fade. Your addict mind will minimize every motivation except the one in which YOU call the shots for YOU.

Jump all in bro. Own this.
You will be in the sept group. Go to quit groups and click on sept. And it will show you your quit dates click on the group and there will be a how to post link an that will explain
You will post everyday. What you will post is your name the day you are on and your promise to not use or have any nic on that day. You must always take it one day at a time

Thanks CoreyF. I am stocked up and seeds and Bubble gum to get through the next couple days. Just trying to get through one at a time.

This may be a dumb question, but what do you mean by post roll?
