Morning Alex, glad to see you here and on roll. Remember this system works, but you have to work the system. Wake up, piss, post roll, and HONOR your post. The site depends on integrity and trust between members to function properly. The process of quitting is simple; the act of quitting not so much. Read as much as you can on this site about nicotine addiction and how it effs your brain up pretty good; that will give you some idea why folks have such a bitch of a time breaking free from the addiction. BUT....it is possible. Post daily....hell post as many times as you want. Get through today, and let tomorrow worry about itself. You can do this; we want to see you do this!

Welcome Alex.
You got some great heavy hitters on your team early. Use them.
It's like a game of Tug-a-War.
She has a long history of help on her side.
You.... Can't handle the rope alone.
Just turn your head back...and ask for help.......
We can out pull the B@#h together.
And like I said... These men here in your intro are ankers.
Professional Ankers!
I quit with you.
Make a daily promise.
We will be here to make sure you never get pulled over that line again.

Fear...the great motivator, as it was for me. Desperation, ...that was also a huge driver, much in part because I was desperate to quit, for myself. I wanted nothing more than to quit being a slave, and moreover, quit being a liar. Man, did I lie about so many things...just to protect my addiction. Today, however, I may still be an addict, but I am not a liar and I am not a slave.

Freedom, my friend, is pure bliss. I'm only 2 and 1/2 years quit, but that feeling of freedom continues to get better and stronger each day. That's because I've built a quit foundation of bad ass quitters and friends who do this with me every day and every step of the way. If this sounds like something you crave, then go after it. Heed Pab's advice; post roll every day. Make it your saving grace.

OK Alex, lets do this. You CAN do it. Nothing is easy, and this wont be either. 20+ year dipper here. Still an addict, but no longer a slave to the can.

Post roll call in your September quit group. Get to know some of the folks in there, exchange numbers.

We were ALL just like you at one point and we have ALL made it by doing it one day at a time. Post your daily promise early, and quit with us will you?

Welcome Alex! I'm only on day 7 but I already feel better and you will too! Get through those tough cravings and make no excuse for buying a can no matter what is happening that day.

Welcome aboard Alex! Great job posting! One thing you must remember, you are quitting for you and all the rest around you will benefit. It's gonna suck till it don't but you can do this. I dipped 38 years every damn day! I'm 538 days free and have never lived a normal life until now. I started at age 12. But I can tell you it's awesome. You will probably feel like shit but that's normal. Get numbers from people in your group. Main thing post Early! EDD! ODAAT!

The time for my quit is now!
« on: June 17, 2016, 10:42:00 PM »
Hey everyone, I am happy I have found this support family. I have been reading about this group all day and felt this is exactly what I am looking for. I have been chewing grizzly wintergreen for the past 14 years. I am married now and am going to be a first time father this August. Yesterday I found out a great friend of mine, during a physical for work, found a mass in his mandible. A biopsy was done and it is an advance form of cancer. He never used tobacco products in his life. With all this happening, I am scared. I want to be around for my little girl and my wife. I want to experience life and as I have read on here, I want to stop slowly committing suicide and I want to break away once and for all from the nicotine. I promise to stay focused and quit with you all, one day at a time.
