Worktowin said it all. Post roll in the AM and that's your promise to yourself and us that you will be nic free for the day.
I have posted roll for the last 1,001 days and I know that is why I am still quit. Congrats on a great decision. JGlav - 1,001

Hello sir. Welcome aboard.

Congratulations on making a brilliant decision, at a relatively young age. You will never regret quitting. Ever.

Did anyone else buy a tin a day? Yeah, I did. Because I was going to quit every day! For 25 years! I threw out so many tins at 70mph on the highway that I'm shocked to not pass Kodiak Mountain on my drive home.

1,985 days ago I found this place and I joined it. I was a mental and emotional wreck. Some bad ass guys helped me walk threw the first few weeks, and then things got better. Slowly, but better. We quit as a team here... for years I'd let myself down every day, but I couldn't let my team down. I couldn't fail these brothers that helped me, that coached me, that led me... and little by little... I found freedom. I know this probably sounds lame, but dude... I can't describe the sense of peace that there is not being terrified of running out... of dashing frantically to store after store looking for your brand... of dashing to the car to make sure a spit bottle isn't there when someone is going to ride with you... the list goes on and on...

One day at a time, I've posted roll daily. Haven't missed a day. And I won't. I hope you do the same. Freedom is yours for the taking if you follow the plan. It is, by far, the best thing I've ever done for myself and my family.

If I can help at all, shoot me a PM with your number. It is great to quit together, on a winning team.

Michael/worktowin... 1,985 days of freedom

Hang in their Hawk. I think Vegas, you, and I, all have our quit about the same time. One day at a time, man, one day at a time.

Hi all,

This is day 1 for me. I discovered this site a few weeks ago and thought that maybe I'd use it if I ever decided to quit dipping. Well I'm all in on today being the day.

I'm 26 years old. I've been dipping since the summer of 2012. Somehow I made it through high school in my small country redneck town without ever dipping. I remember kids dipping in school, but that shit was never for me. But I remember my first dip like it was yesterday. I was home for the summer from college after my sophomore year. I was at the typical bonfire party in the middle of nowhere when my friend offered me a pinch of skoal wintergreen. I tried it and was honestly hooked right away. Thought maybe I'd keep doing it a little bit here and there...you know the rest of the story.

Ever since I started I've been planning on quitting. I've been doing a can a day for probably about the past 4-5 years. Not sure if anyone else has done this, but every time I would go to the gas station I would only buy just one can. It's like I almost had this mentality that that can would be my last one. But it never was. My roommate recently just was joking around with me saying I've been trying to quit every day for the past 6 years. The farthest I got was about 2 years ago when I stopped for about a month. But I gave in.

I've been reading through the site for the past couple hours and I just said you know what...fuck it. Today is the day. So here I am. I posted roll a little bit ago and thought I would introduce myself. I really hate dip and don't want to do it anymore. I don't want tobacco to keep controlling my life. This is going to be hell but I'm ready.

How did your day go bud? Mine got tough, but I embraced the pain, my mouth feels fresh today too, I can feel it repairing itself, thatÂ’s a bonus.
Day went alright. Stopped at the gas station on the way home and got some sunflower seeds and gum. The cravings are bad and I definitely have fog brain at work this morning. Embracing the suck! We got this.

Welcome.

Nice job posting roll. The saying around here goes - the only way to screw up roll is by not being on roll.

Keep posting roll every day. That's the secret sauce that makes this site work. It may sound silly - making a promise to a bunch of internet strangers, but it works.

Get to know the guys in your group. Exchange digits with them. They all quit at about the same time you did, and will be going through the same things you are.


Your story sounds like mine. I'm from a very small farm town, and didn't start dippoing regularly until I was at college. I wish I had come to my senses while I was still in my 20s (I quit when I was 43).


Again, welcome, and I am proud to quit with you.

Welcome to your quit. Take back your freedom from your addiction by posting your promise every morning not to use nicotine and then keep your word. Wake up and repeat. This simple formula works as long as you are committed to being done. I suggest reading all around this site for knowledge and inspiration. I am quit with you today.
