Nice Little Intro

[MCO]

Stumbled upon this little corner of the interwebs the other day, and upon looking around a bit today, decided I would register. My name is Tyler Brown, and I am 26 years old, living in North Alabama. I first started chewing when I was 8, then eventually moved to dipping. I decided I had had enough yesterday afternoon, and today has been my first full day without it. I have quit before, but I caved after 2 weeks. No turning back this time around.

I grew up in Small Town, USA, so every male in my family either dips or chews. I intend on taking great pride in being the first to walk away from the stuff, and hope that the others follow suit. I know I have to look after myself first, though. I work Logistics for the US Army, dealing specifically with Sustainment of the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.

Today hasn't been too bad, if I am being honest. What generally gets me the worst is missing the sensation of having a dip in my bottom lip, and I believe that is what made me fall back into it last time. I got some Smokey Mountain herbal stuff, and it actually doesn't taste too bad. I can tell it has definitely helped me today.

I intend to post in here and keep up with my progress, because it seems like y'all have a good thing going here, and I can use all the help I can get.

Congrats on the decision to quit/quit itself. This site will help you, but only if you "drink the Kool-aid" as they say. I know I've seen you in chat once or twice, that's awesome keep doing that. Post roll every damn day, exchange numbers with your fellow quitters (PM me if you need one) keep others accountable and they will keep you accountable.

Congrats again, I'm proud to quit with you today.

I don't know if this will get seen, but I was curious about these introduction posts. Do people normally use this space just to give updates on progress? Or is that done primarily by just posting roll every day? I am new to this, and would like to be active in the community here, but I might require a little guidance on where to go. Most of my friends that dip tell me I can't quit (who needs enemies), where as my friends that don't dip are supportive, but do not know the struggle. That is why I would like to be active here, because you all know how bad this shit sucks.

JT this is your thread. You can do anything you want in here. Just keep quitting! Most use it to document how they are feeling, vent, rage, ask for help, whatever... Its a good place to keep everyone updated on how you are doing. The more active you are the more noticed you will be and the more accountability will be heaped on you to succeed. Be Active.

Day number 2, and I'm still kicking. Headache and Foggy today. But it is happening! Mogul, we will see what the Aggs are capable of without JFF and Mike Evans. I'm more excited that Evans is gone than I am Manziel.

Thanks Wolfe! I saw that about the Roll Call, and I am going to do my very best to get it done daily. I guess I should have also mentioned that I am married (August 2013), and she is also going to be a cheerleader in my corner. For some reason she didn't like my lip full of snuff? Crazy, I know.

Don't try to do it, just DO it as this will be the key to our success. You will understand shortly why roll is the most important thing going for us.

It is your promise to us, your gf, and yourself that for THIS DAY you will not use. We can keep our word for a day, right? Seems to me that is the premise behind it as I am a newbie also.. Day 21 ..

Quit with you today.. Wolfe

Is it "Roll Eagle" or "War Tide"? I can never remember.......brought to you by an Aggie fan.

[jtbrown]

Haha..fair enough duathman. I guess I can tolerate Barners as long as it is supporting the cause.

[duathman]

I will have my eye on you!! I will tolerate that bammer stuff as long as it means you posted roll every damn day.

Hi JT,

Welcome to the Quit. Get on and read all of the articles on the web portion of www.killthecan.org

That REALLY helped me get thru it, knowing what was happening and going to happen and that everyone else went thru the same shit.

I had never tried to quit until now (20 days quit). I didn't know what to expect but those articles helped me immensely.

Then figure out what POSTING ROLL is and how to do it. In my opinion, this accountability step is the most important part of the QUIT.

Proud to be quit with you JT.

Tyler you have made a great decision to quit today. I want to let you know that this sounds a lot like my quit story. I am 25 and I live in a tiny little town. Maybe 1,500 people total. I work with a lot of farmers and they are notorious for having a dip in their lip all day. So I am around it a lot and it is very accepted in the community. But of course, it is not on this site, and this is a no nicotine site of any kind. No patches, gum, cigs or e-cigs. If you need anything please private message me. My number is available to anyone that wants to QLF EDD (Quit Like Fuck, Every Damn Day)
