Quitting now

[Winter Green]

7. I woke up today and and am happy I didn't dip!

You took your licks, Now im curious to see what your going to put in to your quit. 10% 50% 100%?? Always remember that what you put in to it, is what youll get out of it. Take it one day at a time and in my opinion, the only way to stay quit is to be involved with your quit. posting roll is the bare minimum, im all up in this site, if people havent seen me some where, its likely they are not on as much :). But like i said, i know for my quit i have to be up this sites ass for a while. Weather they like it or not. Stay quit bro, after all.......it is life or death.

Hi everyone,

I am just seeing the responses now. When I first posted day 1, I didn't put in the preparation to quit. I just thought I could post day 1 and go on but it took a lot more than that. I had to use the great information on this site and read the HOF speeches. To answer the questions:
1. What happened? I didn't quit. I didn't believe in myself and I didn't put in any effort to quit.
2. Why did it happen? All I did was post roll call and I didn't put in the extra work to learn about the addiction and what it takes to overcome it.
3. What are you going to do different this time? After doing a lot of researching through HOF speeches and through other posts on ktc, here are 23 principles/themes/strategies/important shit to remember as a quitter: In short, I am making quitting my top priority. Nothing is more important than staying quit.

1.   Dipping is not an option. Do something else. Drink water, read HOF speeches, go for a walk, eat some celery.
2.   Dipping will not make anything better. Dipping will make everything worse. Problems arenÂ’t solved by dipping. Situations arenÂ’t improved by dipping. I do not become a better person by dipping.
3.   Dipping makes me sick and lazy. Waking up with headaches, sore body, sore gums/mouth, and sweats.  Blood is not flowing through my body.
4.   Dipping takes away my time. I waste time thinking about dipping, getting dip, dipping, spitting out dip, cleaning up spitters, and hiding dip from the world.
5.   Any craves for dipping are not me talking, they are my addiction. I will slam the door shut on that voice.
6.   All craves will pass but caves last forever. Cravings are temporary and they will become smaller and easier to shut down.
7.   I will wake up tomorrow being happy that I didnÂ’t dip. Today is a great day to quit dip!
8.   I canÂ’t have just one dip. My addiction will be reignited and I canÂ’t afford to dip ever again.
9.   I canÂ’t drink, watch porn, drink caffeine or eat large unhealthy meals because they all lead to my cycle of dipping like maniac.
10.   Dipping leads to stained teeth, bad breath, stress, and spilled spitters.
11.   Dipping is expensive. I should be saving that money or spending it on my debts.
12.   Dipping will kill me in a nasty way.
13.   Take the quit one crave at a time. Embrace the craves. Each crave that is overcome, I am stronger and my brain is rewiring itself.
14.   Days will start piling up and it will become easier each day.
15.   Start each day by posting roll call and become active on the site.
16.   Dipping puts me in a constant state of withdrawal. The only thing dipping does is to keep me addicted to tobacco.
17.   IÂ’ve dumped out countless cans and told myself that I will quit tomorrow. IÂ’ve been doing this for the past year and tomorrow has never come. I could be years quit by now!
18.   I do not have control over my addiction but I do have control over my CHOICES.
19.   I am quitting for myself and I believe in myself. IÂ’ve done it before and I can do it again.
20.   The best time to quit is now. There is no better time to quit. Work will be stressful, vacations will be coming up, the weather will change, the 1st of the month will come and go. Now is all that matters.
21.   By continuing to dip, IÂ’ve lived a lie and I keep lieing to myself about quitting. Honesty is an important part of my character and I canÂ’t live with integrity or look at myself in the mirror when I continue to dip.
22.   My brain will try to give me reasons I shouldnÂ’t quit. DO NOT LISTEN! IT is all bullshit.
23.   When I dip, I only keep it in for no more than 20 minutes and I spit it out and tell myself I will quit. I am tired of all of this nonsense. I am smarter, stronger and better than this.

Letsgo,
You're reason #18 is profound. I will carry that one with me, thanks for sharing.
PROUD to be quit with you and thrilled to have you remain in May!
(if I find out you copy/pasted that I will hunt you down and feed you to Sapper :)

A few of the ideas I took from HOF speeches but I reworded most of them and made them my own. I wrote this last night.

bump, a few folks will be looking for this tomorrow. Well done, in my eyes.
#24. Establish a support network by getting phone numbers of fellow quitters and contacting them and asking permission to cave.
#25. Print and carry 'The Contract'.
#26. One Day At A Time
#27 Never Again, For Any Reason.
You're on the right path, my friend, stay on it.

bump, sorry, Emulator.

bump, folks are going to want to see this tomorrow morning.

I wanted to see this tonight. You are putting in the time, but please hone your skills daily and be preemptive. Outthink yourself. Dont give yourself any chance with nicotine and immediately send out texts for accountability. "Hey, dude...I just found old can of pouches/snuff/dip. Just letting you know. Feel free to text back anytime to hold me accountable." That reach out would have probably been the difference between Day 1 and +1. PM me if you want my digits for accountability. Im not here to judge you as strong or weak. I am here to help you in any way that I can. I wont think: dang...dude found pouches and gonna cave - how weak. No way! I think how smart and Im not going to let him down and will help my brother limp to the next safety zone, if need be. We can be here for you (and are) but we cant quit for you. We cant reach out for you. You're gonna do this!!

Good follow-through, Letsgo. Clearly put some thought into this, and took advantage of the various resources of the site. Well done. Stay focused and re-read your list as the need arises. Better yet, reach out to your Mayhem brothers so you don't have to fight the craves / potential caves by yourself. We're here for you, welcome back to Mayhem.

[Done w/ dip]

As long as you really believe that welcome back to May 14

It was a great exercise to read through dozens of HOF speeches and to pick out important lessons for quitting. I will keep adding more to my list and I will organize the list into a more coherent and beautiful HOF speech. I am just finishing day 1 and I am starting to slam that fucking door shut on tobacco.

Don't start to slam the door, SHUT THAT DAMN THING NAIL IT SHUT, and as LOOT said WELD THE SEAMS!!! Gotta be all or nothing, words like, starting, want to, going to, do not help your quit. Hope you mean it dude, for yourself, I wish you luck and offer you support but don't make these guys regret it cause fool us once shame on you, fool us twice,,,,,,,,

Edit: Also glad you came back n posted that took a lot of guts, proud to quit with you in MAY.

20.   The best time to quit is now. There is no better time to quit. Work will be stressful, vacations will be coming up, the weather will change, the 1st of the month will come and go. Now is all that matters.
21.   By continuing to dip, IÂ’ve lived a lie and I keep lieing to myself about quitting. Honesty is an important part of my character and I canÂ’t live with integrity or look at myself in the mirror when I continue to dip.
22.   My brain will try to give me reasons I shouldnÂ’t quit. DO NOT LISTEN! IT is all bullshit.
23.   When I dip, I only keep it in for no more than 20 minutes and I spit it out and tell myself I will quit. I am tired of all of this nonsense. I am smarter, stronger and better than this.

Letsgo,
You're reason #18 is profound. I will carry that one with me, thanks for sharing.
PROUD to be quit with you and thrilled to have you remain in May!
(if I find out you copy/pasted that I will hunt you down and feed you to Sapper :)

A few of the ideas I took from HOF speeches but I reworded most of them and made them my own. I wrote this last night.

bump, a few folks will be looking for this tomorrow. Well done, in my eyes.
#24. Establish a support network by getting phone numbers of fellow quitters and contacting them and asking permission to cave.
#25. Print and carry 'The Contract'.
#26. One Day At A Time
#27 Never Again, For Any Reason.
You're on the right path, my friend, stay on it.

As long as you really believe that welcome back to May 14

It was a great exercise to read through dozens of HOF speeches and to pick out important lessons for quitting. I will keep adding more to my list and I will organize the list into a more coherent and beautiful HOF speech. I am just finishing day 1 and I am starting to slam that fucking door shut on tobacco.

Hi everyone,

I am just seeing the responses now. When I first posted day 1, I didn't put in the preparation to quit. I just thought I could post day 1 and go on but it took a lot more than that. I had to use the great information on this site and read the HOF speeches. To answer the questions:
1. What happened? I didn't quit. I didn't believe in myself and I didn't put in any effort to quit.
2. Why did it happen? All I did was post roll call and I didn't put in the extra work to learn about the addiction and what it takes to overcome it.
3. What are you going to do different this time? After doing a lot of researching through HOF speeches and through other posts on ktc, here are 23 principles/themes/strategies/important shit to remember as a quitter: In short, I am making quitting my top priority. Nothing is more important than staying quit.

1.   Dipping is not an option. Do something else. Drink water, read HOF speeches, go for a walk, eat some celery.
2.   Dipping will not make anything better. Dipping will make everything worse. Problems arenÂ’t solved by dipping. Situations arenÂ’t improved by dipping. I do not become a better person by dipping.
3.   Dipping makes me sick and lazy. Waking up with headaches, sore body, sore gums/mouth, and sweats.  Blood is not flowing through my body.
4.   Dipping takes away my time. I waste time thinking about dipping, getting dip, dipping, spitting out dip, cleaning up spitters, and hiding dip from the world.
5.   Any craves for dipping are not me talking, they are my addiction. I will slam the door shut on that voice.
6.   All craves will pass but caves last forever. Cravings are temporary and they will become smaller and easier to shut down.
7.   I will wake up tomorrow being happy that I didnÂ’t dip. Today is a great day to quit dip!
8.   I canÂ’t have just one dip. My addiction will be reignited and I canÂ’t afford to dip ever again.
9.   I canÂ’t drink, watch porn, drink caffeine or eat large unhealthy meals because they all lead to my cycle of dipping like maniac.
10.   Dipping leads to stained teeth, bad breath, stress, and spilled spitters.
11.   Dipping is expensive. I should be saving that money or spending it on my debts.
12.   Dipping will kill me in a nasty way.
13.   Take the quit one crave at a time. Embrace the craves. Each crave that is overcome, I am stronger and my brain is rewiring itself.
14.   Days will start piling up and it will become easier each day.
15.   Start each day by posting roll call and become active on the site.
16.   Dipping puts me in a constant state of withdrawal. The only thing dipping does is to keep me addicted to tobacco.
17.   IÂ’ve dumped out countless cans and told myself that I will quit tomorrow. IÂ’ve been doing this for the past year and tomorrow has never come. I could be years quit by now!
18.   I do not have control over my addiction but I do have control over my CHOICES.
19.   I am quitting for myself and I believe in myself. IÂ’ve done it before and I can do it again.
20.   The best time to quit is now. There is no better time to quit. Work will be stressful, vacations will be coming up, the weather will change, the 1st of the month will come and go. Now is all that matters.
21.   By continuing to dip, IÂ’ve lived a lie and I keep lieing to myself about quitting. Honesty is an important part of my character and I canÂ’t live with integrity or look at myself in the mirror when I continue to dip.
