Well here we go!

[Pepper]

I've been reading everything I can find here trying to work up the courage to kick the habit. I've been dipping since age 21, I am 52 now. My career is in IT so it involves a lot of sitting on my butt waiting for a computer to do something. Very convenient opportunity to absorb some nasty chemical while I'm at it. My drug of choice the past few years has been "Timber Wolf Wintergreen Long Cut"

I have quit more times than I can remember, never lasted more than a week or three. There was always some lame excuse that I let myself be dragged back in. Most recent was when my father-in-law lay dying in the hospital, my excuse was to relieve the stress of the situation. Dumb, dumb!

I did some quick math - if I had saved the money I spent on dip over that time period, I could just about pay cash for that new Tesla Model 3 I've had my eye on.

This addiction is embarrassing, I try to keep it hidden. From family, friends, everyone. The relationships suffer because I'm spending every waking moment thinking about where and when I get that next chew instead of interacting with the people in my life.

Today is July 25, 2017. I've already succumbed this morning on the way to work and it was pure mental torture realizing that once again I have let myself down. I'm sick and tired of this. As of now I have flushed the contents of my last can and my goal today is to make it home without stopping at the convenience store. If I reach that goal, my next goal is to actually talk to and listen to my wife about this. I know I can't do this alone, I've proven that to myself enough times. That's why I am here.

Pepper - I've been in your shoes. 33 years, computer programmer, and yeah - I got to the point where everything revolved around that next dip, and I absolutely hated it.

You're in the right place. We ALL understand what that's like. We've all been a slave to the can. I cannot tell you WHY this place works - but it does.

Get on over to the November quit group and post roll there. That post is a promise that you won't use nicotine today, in any form. Post roll, make that promise to a bunch of us internet weirdos... then keep that promise.

It's simple, but it's not easy. That's why we're here with you. When you make that promise, you get a bunch of fellow quitters on your side. Folks who know what you are going through, people you can talk to and who will understand and help you with your struggle.

Come quit with us today. It isn't easy, but nothing worth it ever is... and believe me, this IS worth it.

Thank you Samrs for the encouragement. I have printed the contract and will commit to signing it before I ever take another dip. I posted roll, hope I did it right. So I need to check in every day, guess I better bookmark that link because I couldn't find it till you showed me.
