I don't think you need to be a LEO to offer great advice on this website. When it comes to nicotine and dip, we're all the same. We're all addicts. And the more I read on this site, the less special and unique I feel that my addiction is. So, it doesn't matter what you do, you'll fit in just nicely.

For starters, you hit the nail on the head regarding your reason for quit. Many will come here quitting for their children, or spouses, or because they don't want others to think less of them. These people fail. When you come here and quit for yourself, first and foremost, then you've jumped in head first. Get your name on the roll call and put it there every damn day. You aren't accountable to just yourself anymore. Quit hard brother.

Welcome!!! I wish I had quit at your age!! You must post roll every damn day, keep your promise not to use for that day, then repeat. Take it one day at a time! Read everything you can on the site, reach out to your June quit group, and try to hit the chat room. This is a pivotal moment in your life.....stay on the right path!

Hi MCO. No better time to quit than now and especially prior to a new job. Good luck with the LEO position. PM if I can help with the quit or LE job.

Welcome to the June group. Reach out to some people and exchange numbers so you have someone to call/text when you get a bad craving, or even to post roll for you if you find yourself tied up somehow and unable to do so.

Congrats on 4 days. Remember that we quit Every Damn Day. Tomorrow is a new quit and so is the day after that. The positive is that you're not alone in this struggle.

Welcome to the group, Good intro and you seem to have a great mindset heading in to this challenge... Some things to remember though to better help you prepare:

If you have nothing else better to do at 1AM or anytime of the day, the best thing to do is just head on over here. Free time in the early stages of the quit makes the mind wander. Just get on here, read and get to know your fellow quitters, we will help you.

I am not in law enforcement, but I have friends who are... and they all dip. I don't know if it is the stress of the job or the down time but it is best go ahead and come up with a solid plan now. What will you do when you have a trigger or everyone around you has a lip in? It's best to play it out now before it's put right in front of you.

Continue to post roll every single day, that's the price of admission to be on this site, Reach out, PM me if you ever need someone to talk to you.

You CAN do this, we do it everyday!

Quote from: MCO
Hello all,

I started this addiction almost six years ago. In that time I've only tried to quit once, it lasted a month before i fell victim to the "only one" trap, something I never plan on doing again.

I am currently 20 minutes into day 4 without smokeless tobacco, and to be honest; I am feeling super optimistic and extremely excited to start my life without dip. :D

Since I have absolutely nothing to do at 1 am I guess I'll write more and give you all some background about me. My name is Mike, I am 21 and will be graduating college in approximately 54 days (not that I'm counting or anything 'winker'). I plan on starting a career in law enforcement and am currently in the hiring process for a few local departments here in Colorado, so if there are any LEO's on here I'd love to get some advice from ya'll.

I started using chewing tobacco in the summer between my sophomore and junior year of high school while working at a local grocery store, a co-worker gave me my first dip (cope pouches) while collecting shopping carts one night. My addiction (as I assume most of yours) started slowly with an occasional dip maybe once every other day or only once while at work, twice a day, etc. but before I knew it I was addicted.

Four days ago I made the decision to quit; I didn't make this decision to appease my friends or family; I made this decision for myself, for my future, for my health, and it is a decision that I will stick with through the ups and downs. This is my promise to myself to stay tobacco free for the rest of my hopefully long life.

Thank you for reading my novel, I look forward to meeting you all and quitting with you.

Nice intro. You have a good attitude about this. My advice: Make sure you post roll with Your group EVERY DAMN DAY. If you go all-in with KTC you will succeed. I quit with you today.
