Well, that was enough to do it. Tomorrow is Day 1.
Funny thing about tomorrow - it's always tomorrow, never today.

When you're ready to quit today, actually after you quit today, come back and see us.

Edit: I quit 20 minutes after I bought my last can. One focking dip into my last can! When you decide to quit, you quit. It's that simple. (Not easy, easy is for pussies, but it is simple.)

Hey guys,

I'm a 20 year old college student and I've been dipping for 2 years. For the last year I've dipped pretty heavily and at one point going thru a Grizzly Big Can (6 tins) in about 4-5 days. Yesterday I noticed several canker sores on the inside of my cheeks and lips after a week of heavy use. I almost entirely doubt they are anything more than irritations, however the discovery of these canker sores freaked me out at first and led me to researching oral cancer and all the nasty health problems that dip can cause. I've decided I need to quit now while the length of time I've been dipping is relatively short to avoid any future health conditions. Plus girls tend to view dipping in a not so favorable light.

Anyway, I just finished a tough week of exams and am now on spring break. I've decided that the first day of classes after spring break, Monday 3/14/16, will be the day that I start my journey and post roll. I know it's going to be extremely difficult for me as I have a somewhat addictive personality. I've been telling myself I need to quit for months now and yesterday was the day it finally hit me that I need to get serious. Hence the reason I'm here. I'm hoping that a community of other quitters will help me muster the determination I need to quit. I want to go into this with contingency plans for what to do when I get a craving. I'm a person who bases his life around structure so I think having a gameplan on my quitting process will help me be successful. \

Any comments, advice, or just introductions would be great! Looking forward to all of your support as well as hopefully lending my support to you.
A planned quit is a failed quit.

My advice is to quit today. Right now. As soon as you finish reading this, dump the shit down the toilet. Then flush the toilet. Then find your quit group here in the forums- pre HOF June 2016. Then post roll, you'll find directions in the thread. Then post roll every single day, first thing in the morning. Make a promise to not use any nicotine at all that day, and each day after.

Honestly, planned quits do not work. Your addicted mind will convince you that you don't need to quit if you wait 10 days. Your canker sore scare will be forgotten. Trust me, quit today. And quit every day.
Well, that was enough to do it. Tomorrow is Day 1.
Definitely quit now. Planned quits don't usually happen .
