I'm not wasting any more time than this...it looks like you were playing games from the beginning...and I see you didn't post roll in April nor did I see where you oppered up an apology to your former group - many of which are my personal friends...go play somewhere else...this site is for quitters.

I am not accepting this. What happens when the next tough time jumps in your life? What if you have to quit doing something else, are you going to turn to dip again? This has been an everyday battle for me, some days easy and some days hard, but I STAY QUIT! I find no joy in you saying you quit for 2 months and then jumped back to it because quitting drinking was hard. I'm sorry if I don't feel your sympathy.

You need to grow a pair and let your 2011 group know whats up. Then post roll everyday like a man. 11 posts in 2 months? Seems to me that you didn't quit full out. I am glad you quit but you better not burn us this time.

Pardon us if it doesn't seem we share your joy...there seems to be a disconnect regarding one of the principles of this site/program/support, Accountability! You must know what that word means. It also seems to be a truth that people typically get what they give. In other words, get involved with other people's quit, show you're accountable and you will get support in return.

I salute your decision to quit. You must get your head straight if this is going to work for you. Otherwise, you'll be going home after your tour in AFG and will greet your wife just after spitting out that "last" dip in a Coke can on the plane.

You get the picture now???

Let me see if I can understand the situation...you abstained for two months about a year ago. You did so using this site until you went sober. And your commitment was done with 11 posts? Not that the metric of posts is the tell all of commitment but its certainly a gauge of some sort.

My advice: get involved. Stay involved. If your quit is a priority, then make it so.

Go to your original quit group and spill your cave story with them. Then post roll in April 2012. You know how to post roll don't you? I mean, 11 posts and all you must have learned something right?

You'll get all the support you deserve here (wonder what that means?). Post roll everyday. Don't fuck with the program.

Earlier today I had a revelation. Out of no where I just did not want to dip anymore. Lately it has been less and less enjoyable. I would put one in and shortly after take it out and be done for the next hour or two. Then when my learn behavior would come back such as after dinner or before I went to bed I would put one in because of the habit. So today starts the rest of my life.

I have been down this road before just like all of you probably have. I have been on this site and used this site and it worked for me for about 2 months until I had to quit drinking. Quitting drinking and dipping at the same time was not easy and to save my marriage I had to make sure I didnt drink again so here I am 10 months later completely sober but dipping like crazy. So today I stop dipping and take back my life. It was glorious while I was dip free. Just like all of you have said no more thinking about how I am going to get that next dip or if there is any pieces of dip in my teeth. So here I am again, this time from a different location. I am currently working in Afghanistan on a small base where 90% of my coworkers either dip or smoke. This will not be easy but with the help of this site and a lot of working out, this can and will be accomplished. I want to thank all of you ahead of time for the support because I know I will be taken care of here when I need it most, so thank you to the new quitters like myself and to the veterans for staying around and helping us newcomers. Lets take back our lives together!!

One more thing that I just noticed which is pretty crazy... I became a member and quit a year ago today. I couldnt remember the date but its right there on my profile. Thats pretty wild.
