Only my husband knew (and he likes it :( ).

It is time to have a talk with him.

but remember, you are doing this for you.... only you can break the pattern.

This!!!!!! Good point Slick

TEN DAYS! Rockin' the quit, young lady! I think that's just awesome!

Only my husband knew (and he likes it :( ).

One of our Samurai was in the same position. I believe he finally quit.

You got this. Check your inbox.

Kick the Nic-bitch in the tits and quit on.

Thanks, everyone. Appreciate the support. I never had any accountability for quitting before as I was a very stealth "ninja dipper." Only my husband knew (and he likes it :( ). Hard for friends and family to support/kick you in the butt when they have no idea. I posted roll again today, and I promise to do so every day going forward.

Welcome sooverit. As a man with weak resolve I struggle with fear, shame, and depression issues. Posting roll, keeping your word, helping others will strengthen that resolve and remove that spirit of timidity. Be bold and courageous! You've got this because you don't have to go through it alone, just ask for help when you need it.

Quit with you today.

With your attitude you definitely are headed in right direction. Now that you posted roll, get numbers and when you think you have enough, gets some more. See when ole Nicky rears that ugly head, not only can you get on here but you also have people to text or call, that's part of your tools. Accountability is huge and it's another major tool. When you post roll early every damn day the accountability gets stronger and the more involved you get reading different stuff and posting support for others it gets easier. It's gonna be damn hard for awhile but I can tell you can do this. So put on your big girl panties and get this done! Damn proud of you and proud to quit with you today! Quit on!

[Slick]

I have to stop coddling my cravings and stand up to my weak resolve.

Do not give up... do not give in.... you can do this.. have faith .... believe in your faith. Go to church like you said... follow thru........ walk the walk... . break your weekend pattern.


I am a total newbie to this forum but I have quit chewing for weeks over the course of my 25 yr history of chewing and I am fighting my own demons, so my advise is just my opinion to help you along your path... at day 16 now and the mind games are playing pinball with my brain. But I know right from wrong... so why would I choose the wrong?... out of stupidity?.. out of weakness? ... I know right from wrong..... i am educated, i am not a stupid individual.. I am far from weak...

you can do this... but you have to want to do it for yourself.

Good evening young lady!

Congrats on making the best decision you could EVER make regarding your health and overall well-being. You are most definitely NOT ALONE in this journey. Folks who've gone before, folks who are in the thick of the fog with you, and folks that will come later. If you can honor your promise for a day, you got this! Wake up, post roll, honor your post, repeat. It is truly that simple....not easy, but simple. And oh, BTW, you'll make some incredible friends here too....fb ain't got NOTHIN' on KTC! For now, do whatever you have to do to not put that crap in your mouth. WHATEVER you have to do. It's gonna suck for a while.....learn to hate that insidious weed, focus that suckiness into an INTENSE HATRED for big tobacco. share numbers with others in your quit group.... they will be there for you through the highs and the lows (and there will be both).

Quit with you today!

Keep rockin' it girl! You will have schools of thoughts on levels and what not. I was taught and fully believe a dope fiend is a dope fiend is a dope fiend. The ONLY difference is that others leave you physically out of control. We can see a case in point with Alcohol. Get yourself some seeds, fake chew, tons of gum, fireball candies....whatever it will take to make it through the weekend. We quit one day at a time. That doesn't mean we don't prepare for the BS that our addiction brought us. And. The only way to screw anything up is by not doing it. Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! Glad you are here!




Just for today, Self.

[RDB]

Looks like you posted Roll perfectly.

Just do that every day, weekends, holidays, birthdays, as early in the day as you can.

Make your promise, and keep it. Don't give the nicotine a chance to slither back in.

Proud to quit with you!

Hi All,

I'm pulling out all the stops this time as I am determined to rid myself of dip. I'm one of the lucky ladies hooked to that junk. Started out as an on and off user, introduced by an ex who thought it was "so hot" for a chick to dip, then married a guy who thinks the same. Quit completely for three pregnancies and didn't use much in between, but then picked it up again camping two summers ago as an appetite suppressor. I've lost the 70lbs of baby weight, but let myself get dependent on dip during the process. There are so many reasons I want to quit: terrified of having to have my face cut off, terrified of giving my little boys the burden of addiction because of my bad example (they're getting old enough that they notice now and old enough to remember "mommy gum" at a later age), and tired of feeling fuzzy headed and bummed out every Monday (I'm a weekend user, mostly). I'm so frustrated at myself for letting that little can win SO MANY TIMES. I read recently that nicotine addiction is prevalent among self-harmers. I'd never thought about this aspect before and it really bothers me: basically, the pride I feel for ending my harming days is bs, I just switched mediums and have been fooling myself. Makes me feel so ashamed. I'm Catholic (not a very good one, huh?) and after reading that research article, I'm going to haul my rear in and confess my nicotine use in there, as well as on here. Nicotine use isn't considered a moral wrong in and of it's own in our Church, but it's definitely a "wrong" where I'm concerned. I have to stop coddling my cravings and stand up to my weak resolve. I can use all the support this group can offer. :) TIA and much resolve to all of us.

First of all, make sure you view this for what it is: an addiction. You are an addict. Are there degrees? Probably. Sounds like you're able to "stop" during the week but it claws you back on the weekends.

Hopefully that means you'll have a relatively easier road. Hell I would go nuts if I didn't have it for four or five hours.

Welcome aboard. Go to Septempber 2016 quit group and post your Day 1. It's your promise not to use for the day. Then do that every day. It worked for me on Day 1 and has worked 525 days consecutively since.

As to being female--you may be surprise to find how many female quitters we have. This is definitely a sausage fest but there is a small but great group of women.
