I've come back here after a month, holy cow a month quit. I think the longest I had gone before this was half a month because my girlfriend at the time didn't want it in the house. I found out she was cheating on me and did what most people do said screw this and caved at the airport to move back to my hometown. Glad a dodged a bullet with her but was so stupid to go back to the dip after a break up.

I can tell that this site works, you will hear a lot about accountability and brotherhood which I do feel, I've always been an introvert so I was/am reluctant to share my digits with too many people, but those that I do have we have had some great conversations through texts just shooting the breeze. I think the best part of the site for a newer quitter is the replacement behavior. I wake up eat breakfast and log onto the site to post roll. I used to put in a dip but now I post roll, this replacement behavior itself has kept me clean. Coming here and promising a group of strangers that you won't touch nicotine that day instead of putting a dip in every morning has made life that much more fun.

Like I said accountability and brotherhood do seem to have something to do with it but this site is working for me as I make new friends mostly as a replacement and reminder. I will continue to make friends here, but if you are new remember you came here for you and use the mechanics of this site to be the best you you can be.

So this weekend instead of caving I'm gonna come on this forum post and try to reword my intro, it almost looks like a two year old wrote it or at least somebody on the third day fog. Thanks for all the encouragement I almost caved today after a shitty work day and a small fight over personal stuff. I came here made a comment about punching something then looked through my inbox and saw all the support that you all have thrown my way. I'm doing this for me but with the community I feel almost like a we, an organism of many where we all lean on and support each other. I remained quit today because I have the support of many of you, and the ones that think I'm fake or here just to spout off shit, fuck you im still quit.

There is no "quit for the last time" because there is only one QUIT - the rest were stoppages. I had 30-40 stoppages in 17 years. I only have one quit. Little things like this are important to rewire your mind.

Wyles you're off to a great start! You're the luckiest unlucky quitter in December 17. You know how many vets have your back? You got this bro, keep on the site as much as you can. Be vigilant. Don't get discouraged. Being quit is so amazing. You will soon find how beautiful life is being quit. Arm yourself by jumping all in, be vulnerable, rely on your support in your group, in chat, and via txt. Nothing is better when a fellow quitter pings your phone mid day to give you support. We all know what you're going through, we've been there and want you and the others to close the door on tobacco once and for all. NAFAR

Great intro, Wyles - remember what you've been through these past few days. Keep making that promise and keeping your word, and you'll soon learn that it's great to be free from that dead leaf in a can.

I've sent you a PM (private message) - look in the upper right hand corner of the page, there's a link labeled "Inbox". Keep an eye on it, you'll probably get more than a few PMs from other quitters introducing themselves.

Proud to quit with you today, sir.

Great intro! Welcome Wyles - keep making that promise. It's a simple system and it will keep you quit if you're willing to work for it.

Reach out if I can help.

So I haven't posted here yet, and had a bad day today so thought I'd come here to introduce myself and get some thoughts out of my mind and into the interwebs. I recently quit for the last time after 20 years of having a little ball and chain in my back pocket. Four days clean and starting to feel way normal but now all I seem to think about is going and getting a new ball and chain just to feel normal again. I need to realize that this is my new normal as nicotine is out of my system and I'm not going back. I ended up buying some smokey mountain mint snuff as it is nicotine and tobacco free, and also takes my mind off the physical aspect for a hot second.

I decided to quit this time around because I was tired of thinking about it and just wanted to do it. I went on a trip for a wedding into the NW and had a major gingivitis outbreak that made dipping hurt so bad that I couldn't keep it in my mouth for more than a minute. I realized that it wasn't a habit at that point it was a true addiction as no normal person would keep putting something onto inflamed gums for a fix even though it hurt so bad that tears would fall just putting it in your lip. I decided I didn't want to be that guy anymore. I want a future. I want to be around for a very long time. I'm super excited to be going on this journey with you all and love the daily roll call as it forces me to come here and promise to everyone that I am still dip free.

I'm not going down that path again.
