General Discussion - 2010

Hey guys, I'm on the verge of quitting and plan on my first full day without dip to be tomorrow and let me say I am a little anxious about it....I've dipped everyday for the past decade and realize that for my sanity, health and kids, i need to quit. I'm really looking forward to using this site to help in my path to being a quitter!!!
It's very assuring to see so many people on here battling with the same issues I do now and will face in the months to come.

Why don't you cancel the marathon dipping session you have planned for tonight and dump the can and quit right now. We are all quit with you tonight.

I am in Shawnee, Dr bruce Banner is from North Kansas city. Radtech is from KC and Jadubz is from Raytown.
When do you want to have a KC meet?

Yeah we should definitely set up a meet sometime. We should get some input from the other KC area guys.

I will be rolling through in October. I will let you guys know when. We gotta meet.

STAY QUIT

If I can get my deck built in time, I might just try to roll thru there whenever Greg is in town. It's been awhile, and I'm interested to see what the new PL District looks like...

this is tough im actually on day 1 and its worse than i thought it would be,the weird lightheaded feeling and extremem cravings are hard to handle.....it kinda feels really good knowing i can do the the things i used to do with dip and dont need it at all,i know its only been a day and i hope i can continue to stay strong and be tough...... 'Finger' u dip i dont need you anymore its time to 'Remshot' that bear on the grizzly can and quit once and for all

Good choice deciding to quit. In fact, it's the best decision you've ever made. Stay strong. Day 2 is no joke, and Day 3 sucks too. In fact, it's going to suck for you for the next few weeks, but...IT DOES GET BETTER!

"and i hope i can continue to stay strong"

Not a lot of hoping around here. There is doing. There is quitting. Post roll, and keep your word. Hope is for pussies. Don't put the lip turd in your face today...we'll worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.

Find the December group and post roll.

If you need help, there are a whole lot of guys here ready to quit with you, including me. If you want help, just PM me.

Stay strong, stay quit, and we'll see you for day 2.

Hey everyone! total newby here.  Today is day 4 for me without a dip.  I tis getting tough now, but the cravings are not as hard to deal with as the last couple of days.  I still find myself when driving, working or after eating wanting a dip.  I have found I am almost in a fog and very irritable, not sure is this a ll part of it?

Toxic, you are right n the middle of it now. It gets better but it will still be tough. First thing, get over to the November quit group and post up. This will be your support group on the way to the HOF.

Do this everyday and take it one day at a time.

Well toxic if you are still around and still wanting to quit today will be last day to post for november tomarrow starts of december. if you need help on how to post roll just p.m. and I will let you know. If you need help with anything else let me know.

i know how this guy feels i am still trying to figure everything out on this sight but want to let everyone know it has helped just knowing their are outhers going through the same thing that has my back

Thank you! Oh, he quit...made the decision on his own (our daughter quit her Bunny (a blanket that she sucked like a pacifier)...I'm talking about supporting him now that he has quit...he's suffering withdrawal symptoms pretty badly, I think.

They are BOTH going through withdrawal!!!

I will check out the spouse sight...thanks so much!

It is going to be difficult for him and for you. Like Chewie says read the spousal support page. I would mention the site to him and see what he thinks. Many of us are unwilling to admit we needed a site like this or needed anyone to help us quit.

This site WILL help him stay quit if that is what he wants to do. Don't push too hard, the results can be less than desireable.

Let us know if we can help.

[chewie]

HI There! I am a loving wife trying to support my husband with his quit...he chewed for 25 years (he's 41)...what do I need to do or what do I need to STOP doing? Currently I am doing all the wrong things :-(
Need help! Thanks for the input...

Welcome!

First off, check this out from the main site: http://www.killthecan.org/community/spouse.asp titled Spousal Support.

Unfortunately, he needs to make this decision on his own. It's very frustrating I know but all you can do is be there for him WHEN he's ready to quit.

You may want to point him here if you think he'll stop by, and if you/he are facebook users you can visit us there as well: http://facebook.com/killthecan.org

Let us know how we can help.
