At 43 days and the temptation to just go to the store sure never leaves.  Today I was with the family at an indoor amusement park, lots of people, lots of kids yelling, it was one of those places I would have loved to find a corner and stand with a spit bottle and just have a moment to myself. 

I made it through the day of course, and am thankful for that.

For me, nights have been the worst.  I thought it was going to be morning and coffee but actually night time dipping is what I miss.  That big fat lip while watching some TV or just relaxing on the couch.  Anyway, one day at a time.

Tomorrow brings new light, good luck all.

I quit cold turkey buddy, I used hard candies for the first two weeks and dum dum suckers, but now I use nothing, I don’t want to be “quitting dum dums” three years from now because I wasted my teeth away on sugar!

I am new here, I quit on 2/12/2019 and I was a dipper/tobacco user for roughly 21 years.  Quit smoking a few years back but dip has been a hard one.  I finally kicked the can out of my life and have been quit for 42 days as of this post.  I have been using the app DipQuit to track my progress and it has been helpful to see.

First and Foremost Thank you For Your Service!

Second, Welcome to the Mayhem Brother, You are a Badass already for Serving, even more to make it 42 Days by yourself. I understand you are not able to post every day, this is something we will have to figure out as a group. If you need anything I am around so toss me a PM!

Posting roll is easy enough and you will get it down easy, If it hasn't been done yet I will add you. I did see you quoted today but didn't Post your name. The site it a bit tricky to use on the phone, but it is doable and gets better the more you do it.

1. Always refresh the screen before you post (On my phone I "Drag" the Screen down and it refreshes.
2. Hit "Quote" scroll down the page past all the code, links, etc to where you see "New Badass Quitters Post your Promise here" and Add your Screen Name (FINN will work) and the Day you are on. (43 today)
3. Hit post.. Now if you get a little box that pops up with red lettering saying "Warning someone has posted... blah blah) that means someone just posted before you could. When that happens I back out, refresh and start over so we don't "Bump" that person from the Roll. Again if you need anything Brother let me know!

I am still working my way through this site on my cell phone, I don’t have a computer anymore.

I will try to post roll tomorrow morning and see how it goes.  This is the thing that I have been lacking is those who know the struggle.  I do fully intend to use the roll call once I figure it out.  That being said, I’m a sailor and when I go to work posting roll will not be possible every day for me but more like every three to four days. 

Thank you guys for posting on my thread! I appreciate the support
Yooper,

I can use my phone on this site for posting roll call just fine. It's not preferable but it gets the job done. As long as yours is a smartphone with a touchscreen interface, there shouldn't be an issue after practicing a couple times.  The only mistake in posting roll call is NOT posting roll call.

There will be an issue with the posting every 3 or 4 days thing. This is an every day site.  How do you communicate to the world when you're out? I've seen quitters get very creative when failure is not an option. Bring this issue up to your quit group and you'll be sure to get some ideas and solutions.

There is no means to communicate with the world once I am out of range.  We don’t have Internet on the ship 24/7, it is what it is, hopefully I am able to maintain myself in this group.

Thanks for your service, sir.  Join the group and be open and honest with them.  There are few exceptions that I can think of that are reasonable to not post roll every day, but this one is about as good as I've seen.  Explain to your group and start winning together.  Don't use this as an excuse to ever not try to post, though.  This is a high priority in your life now.

Welcome aboard!

Yah, fellow Finn but from 'cross the big lake, eh.

You didn't specifically say you were going to start posting roll call with your quit group, as mentioned below, but if you are really serious about quitting I strongly suggest you get on board asap. Dip addiction sets up shop inside our heads and never completely leaves. We shut it down by posting a daily promise to quit. I have stopped for several months before, only to find myself picking up right where I left off. I learned my lesson. I'm now all in with the KTC way!

Now post up before your pasty gets cold.

Hey Finn- I am in your quit group. First off...good job on the accomplishment so far. I am at 50 days. Come post roll with us every morning. Just in case you are not familiar, we post roll every day, its our promise to not use nicotine for that day. We follow the mantra...WUPP...Wake up, Piss, Post.....and also...ODAAT....One Day At A Time. Preferably, you post roll at the very beginning of your day. It helps keep all of us accountable. Also, we exchange digits with our brothers. I know it may seem weird, but it has saved my ass a couple of times. My digits are a PM away. Please reach out for anything. Welcome brother.

Hiya FINN.  Congratulations on your accomplishment.  Winning is a wonderful thing!

This place is magic for a number of reasons - but mainly because it works!  It works because here we quit together, as a team.  Much like football, or baseball, it is impossible to let your team down.  When you feel like you have an excuse or reason to cave, the team mentality and support are there to keep you on the straight and narrow.

I've attached a link to your quit group above.  I strongly encourage you to join us and win together.  You are clearly a bad ass, and we need all of those in these parts that we can get.  Join us, and lets keep kicking nicotine to the curb.

If you need anything at all, send me a PM and I'd be happy to help.  Welcome to KTC, and to the best decision you've ever made for you and your family.
