Third Day.....Last Quit!

[rickddd]

Today is day 3 for me after about 27 years of dipping. Yes in that time I have stopped before from time to time but I never could stick to it. Dip was my security blanket that no matter how crappy things got, I always had my dip. I know everyone reading this knows what I mean and I don't need to explain it. A couple of years ago I was laid off from my job after many years, wife left me a short time later but not before destroying me financially...Its been a tough couple of years to say the least. I always had my dip to comfort me no matter what. So now I am crossing an abyss here. I have stopped using dip and I want never to go back again to it. Here is my dilemma.... I don't currently have a girlfriend or someone who understands that is really close to me that I can count on for support. My kids are both young and they don't understand. I need some help from guys/gals who have or who are going through the same stuff as me. All of you understand as well as I do. I need support to make this happen and I promise to return support as well. I don't know where numbers are exchanged on here but I need to figure it out and quick. I know my personality and this will be the hardest thing I have ever done.. Thank you everyone....Stay Solid and don't give in....You will feel miserable as soon as that dip goes in for all who you have let down....Think about it!!

Hey Huzie, welcome to the site! Glad you are quitting, and already to day 3 - that is a big accomplishment!

It is hard to not have a person there to support you - however that is exactly what this site is about - SUPPORT. There are literally thousands of quitters on this site who will do anything they can to support you!

I also chewed for almost 30 years, and have been quit since last january. If I can do it, you can do it too bro. We quit 1 day at a time here. Dont think about anything else, just do whatever you have to do to get thru today. You have to learn to stomp out that voice in your head that tells you that its too hard to quit, and you'll never make it. Those are lies that your addiction is telling you, in order to keep getting its next fix. When you have those thoughts, get them out of your head as quickly as possible, and know that its all lies from the addiction. Each time you do that, you get a little bit stronger in your quit.

I'll send you a private message with my number - shoot me a text to make sure you got the digits right, then use my number anytime you need to.

Huzie,
I am not going to tell you that I understand where you are coming from or what you mean. However, I can tell you that you just found a great group of people to be there for you. This forum is crawling with assholes, supportive people, phenomenal women, but most of all QUITTERS.

I sent you a rather long PM into your forum inbox (upper right hand corner). That explains the site, what to do and also my phone number. I am still new to quitting but I have both of my hands on the horns and riding this bitch out until she tires.

You have a great story that should motivate the hell out of you, let me help in anyway possible as well.

Now stand your ass up and post roll every delightful day! You should be in the November 13 Quit Group. I will be happy to help you anytime brother.

There is no luck involved in quitting.

March 2013 Pre HOF roll is where you post roll. Just click on that link and read the info under the welcome center on how to post roll. The biggest thing you need to admit is that you are an addict, just as much as any of us! You are right you will need support, we all do. So get active, get #'s, make your daily promise Early and keep your word. Read what to expect in quitting. At 3 days most of the nicotine is out of your system and the psychological withdrawal takes over and can really mess with your mind.
There is no luck involved in quitting. It will suck, remember how bad it sucks that memory helps keep me quit today.

This is my third day off the Grizzly pouches that have completely ran my life for the 20 plus years.  There have been some others besides Grizzly but in the last year and a half Grizzly pouches have been my crutch.... So to speak anyway.  Like everything else has recently changed... Job, house, marital status, finances, attending college again.... It's time for dipping to change too.  It's been way too long and I'm lucky I don't look like some of the other less fortunates out there with the amount of chew I have used and the time I kept it in.    Anyway,  It's nice to meet you all!  I will admit I am a little confused about how to properly use this site with the roll call and such. I'm going to need support.  I can't do this alone.      It's very nice to meet all of you on here.  I wish continued good luck on your path to be dip free forever!

Well fuck yeah Huz! I love seeing addicts grab their sac and take back their life. Sounds like you have a lot going on too.
If you havent already click on this ----WELCOME CENTER. Read everything you can today, and, if you are tired of the slavery, then head on over to March 2013 and post your promise. This is the 317th time I have quit for one day, and I'll quit with you huzie.
