Have been wanting to quit for a while and after stumbling across this site last night, I woke up in the middle of the night and signed up and at 4:20am on Nov. 7, 2008, I made the choice to finally flush it. Today has been very difficult and I know that when I go back to work it will be hell to pay. I work in a high stress environment and have gotten used to the nicotine fix to handle the anxiety. I hope to sustain the willpower but I barely made it through today. To make matters worse, the day I decide to do something good for myself and family I find out that some jackass in another state somehow gets my account information and blows close to $1000 of my money at a Wal-Mart. Now that almost put me over and I am fighting it right now. OK, enough with the speech, here is some background.
Male
Age 27
Birmingham, AL
Married w/ 1 kid and another on the way
Dipped for about ten years-TW WG LC-1 to 1 1/2 can per day
Decided to quit for myself and for my wife who has patiently put up with it even though it was driving a kind of wedge between us. The more I look at it the dumber I feel for even letting something so disgusting and meaningless come between us.
Wanted to sign up here just to hear from those who have been there and done that!
I saw that you posted roll in February 09. Well done. That pretty much takes dipping off the table for today. Post roll again first thing Sunday morning. Rinse and repeat. Before you know it, you will seldom remember you ever dipped.
Being free of the nic is very much all it is cracked up to be. You have no idea how great things will be. It is true. I have no reason to lie to you about it.
You can do this.
oops, thought you posted roll. My bad. Heres how. now get to it.
