Embrace the suck! Over time that statement will become more meaningful. For now though you need to go to the April 2013 HOF group and post roll, and do it every day. God showed you the sign and we are showing you the way but it wont happen on its own! Being here (but not posting), having the desire to quit and looking at cancer pics won't cut it. I say that from experience. I actually sat with a friend who died from oral cancer (whole left side of his face was gone) and I continued to feed my addiction. I kept feeding it for over 25 years before I quit. NEVER underestimate the power of your addiction!

I believe there was some "help from above" in my quit as well. The lip sore that ended up giving me a panic attack and an ambulance ride to the hospital. I believe my two Grandpas, both cut down early by cancer and suffered dearly at the end thanks to smoking for 40+ years, got together and decided to send me a wake up call.

I had NO thought of quitting...ever, really. I honestly took this as a sign from above. Why the fuck they had to make it so hard for me I have no idea. But yeah man...if you think the big guy in the sky sent you a sign, your ass best listen to him.

He also sent you to this site...use us too.

You got to have faith to quit this for sure. That faith could be a god, love for your family, support from your new friends here, or faith in desire and determination to not fail and to make your life better. Anything. There will be some tough moments ahead but you can get through them with faith and hard work. Congrats on your decision. Shout if you need to.
Gosh, Mister, my teeth feel cleaner. But what about the hole in the wall?

Reason why I decided to quit. Have you just been living your normal life and you see cancer pop up in everything you do. This was happening to me and I didn't understand why. I thought I was just freaking myself out. Or was it a sign from god? I was getting so worried about the negatives of this disgusting habit to fully experience the greatness of life without it. So before bed and I prayed, asking god to give me a sign. I wake up the next morning without the urge to throw in my first chew. I roll over and say to my roommate, "I'm done chewing, I dreamt I could stop and needed to stop". Now if your not religious this sounds crazy. But I can honestly say that, I had dream that told me to stop dipping. And I haven't dipped in 6 days. The headaches are awful but I like it, it reminds that I'm winning, a little bbit of pain to have my life free of this addiction, sounds alright by me.
Frankly it doesn't matter where you got your realization you need to quit. Hell, you can even say you dropped acid and the picture on the wall told you to quit. The bottom line is you quit for yourself. Everyone here has a different path of how they got here and we don't judge. But once you are here we follow the same path. The roadmap is already layed out to keep you quit.

Go to the salmon colored 'Welcome Center' link at the top of this page and read what we are about. We are a brotherhood and we quit one day at a time. Post roll daily that you will not use any form of nicotine for the day. Keep your word to your brothers. Repeat the next day.

We count victories one day at a time. This method has proven to work time and time again. Look at all the vets on the site. You just need to want it. Go over to April 2013 and post roll with your quit brothers. Get to know them, they are going through the same shit you are going through.
Adigg is exactly right...roll call is the key. Give your word each day then fight with everything you've got to keep it. My faith gave me the strength to keep my word come hell or high water. But I quit for me...because I was sick of being a slave to the Nic Bitch. "Thou shalt have no other...something, something" I think I read that somewhere...but whatever...we're living nic free, brother!

You can do this.
