My first roll call

[eric71]

Omg! I just posted my first role call and it was like everything that could have gone wrong did! My computer kept jumping around with crazy pop ups I have never seen that many pop ups in my life and then as soon as I got to wear I post did the whole cut ad paste thing ready to reply it froze up! So I used my almost dead phone. The snares of the devil, Apparently he's on the nics side, just one more reason to quit in my opinion!

Ok, well, show up everyday and do it again...it could save your life.

Posting roll is sacred, and is a proven method to quit. And like your quit, it does get easier with time

She hunter as I remember the hubby dips too! He not ready? If not that's gonna make it rough on you but you can do it!! Post that promise keep it and return the next day to repeat! Now don't you be kissing the hubby when he's dippin that would be considered introducing nicotine into your system..

Yes you are right You rememered correctly, My husband did quit, the day before me and is doing well. He just doesn't know how ktc would work for him because is out of service on pack trips a lot In the summer and will be gone from aug thru oct with sheep and elk hunters, no service! So he's on his own sorta, I'm doing it to obviously, so that helps cuz Theres nobody can laying around.

Congrats on posting roll and congrats to the hubby as well. Just take it one day at a time. Glad to see you here, was wondering how it would work out for you both

Hello I wanted to tell everyone that responded to me yesterday thank you for your time and your consideration and your words I also have no idea what I am doing I've looked all over the website and theres a lot here and it's very interesting but I'm not sure how I post to a quit group it says to find a quit group but I don't know if I just pick? I'm also feeling very scared which surprises me a little bit but I'm afraid of failing I'm afraid of what if I can't do it what if I let myself down and everyone else what if I can't hold my tongue with my kids when it's not their fault their mom is detoxing. When I read some of you guys' post seeing you talk about just flush it down the toilet it cracks me up because it makes me remember the other day my almost 2-year-old open my brand-new can and spilled all over the floor so what I do I was on my hands and knees picking it all up trying to pick it all up. Lol I don't know if anyone else has had these same fears I know I'm going to hear a lot of suck it up after this one lol but it's the truth

We all had those fears and are facing them head on everyday!!!!!!!!!!! One day at a time is doable, I can do it and so can you and the Hubby. The question is, DO YOU WANT IT BAD ENOUGH??? When you decide to post roll and make that promise it is a sacred oath and we take it VERY SERIOUS. When you quit you need to start gathering as many #'s of contacts as possible so you have someone to contact to yell at instead of the kids.
Your story of the spilled dip isn't uncommon, I remember countless times spilling it in the dirt or on a tractor floor and scooping up dirt and all. (shit the dirt was probably better for me anyway)
No need to keep lurking around JUST QUIT!!!

You and your husband have to quit for you. Meaning, you have to quit for you, he has to quit for him. It's not for the kids, for each other, for your marriage, or for whatever. This has to be completely selfish and just for you. It won't work if you are doing for someone other than yourself. This may sound jacked up but as you progress from day to day, you will see that by doing this for yourself, you are helping those around you. Invariably in life, we let our guard down when we are surrounded by those who love us unconditionally. In quitting nicotine, we cannot let our guard down or get comfortable. When you guys are ready to give it a run, hop on over to Oct 12 and post roll. We'll be waiting for you.

I'll quit with you today, if you want it bad enough, you'll quit with you today as well.

I know Eric's statement is used a lot around here, but I don't completely agree. That's what makes this place great. Even though our opinions may differ, we are all here for the same reason. Take what you need to stay quit and leave the rest.

I should probably quantify my first statement above before I get questioned about it. I say that because I didn't quit for me. We each have to find the strongest, sharpest tool we have to keep ourselves quit. For me personally, that is my kids. They are the absolute top reason for the way I live my life. If I am not a successful father, provider, and role model for them, then I fail. Period. Everything else is just details. One of them gave me a reality check on September 15 2010 that caused me to realize they accepted my addiction as being OK. FAIL! I have never..... NEVER felt more like a failure as a parent. I took the can out of my pocket, threw it away, and that was the end. It's worked for 668 days, so I think I've proven that it can be done.

I tend to be in the same corner as Rad! I definitely had other reasons to quit other than just myself. That being said the personal responsibility I feel as a husband, father and grandfather never was enough to solidify a quit before (even when my wife got diagnosed with MS). Finally it still came down to the fact that I wanted this for me, I was tired of the slavery! The pain of being an addict and feeling helpless to do anything about it was slowly killing me! The freedom is so worth it!!

I think it comes down to more you have to want it than quit just for yourself. Once you want it (and you'll know when you do), you'll quit.

Personally, I just woke up on 3/24/2012 and said "I'm not dipping any more", there was no plan, no thinking about it, I was just sick of being a slave. Here I am 112 days later nicotine free!

My husband and I are seriously considering quitting chewing. So I started looking online and found this website. We are open to suggestions regarding cold turkey vs tapering down before the "quit date" and does fake chew help? As many we have tried to quit on several different occasions, obviously and sadly to no avail, very frustrating to have a little can rule ur life:( Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.:) thank u for ur time

I think most people chooses to "taper down" instead of quit cold turkey for one reason, and one reason only---tapering down means they get to have another dip. Youll pat yourself on the back for going 15 minutes without a dip, then celebrate your acomplishmnent by packing a fatty. You are now in the bizzaro world of depriving yourself of nicotine, then rewarding yourself for that act of depravation with what? You got it---more nicotine. Tapering down means you get to "quit" without having to quit. Of course it is all addict logic.
What happens when you've "tapered" like hell? You have to decide to QUIT.

Skip the BS, just quit.
