Quit ahead of schedule. Was going to quit after my meeting this morning, but what the hell. Very lightheaded this morning, but doing ok.  Someone needs to do the math and tell me when i will hit 100 days.  Quit last night at 8pm.

I have a feeling I will be "owning" this board in about 24hrs.  All apologies.

If you quit last night, that was day 1 and today is day 2. You will join the June quit group. Head over there and post roll with them, here's how.

You will hit 100 after you post roll call 100 times that you quit for 1 day.

DodgeVol, you started this and many have offered advice and by your response, zero, it looks like you are really taking this serious.

Today is the day, are you quit.

And an interesting fact that my professor told us in class. There was a study done on mutations and tobacco users.  Tobacco users have 30,000 more mutations in their DNA than non tobacco users.

Hey Clemsontiger........you are in my backyard. Check your in-box (upper right) for a PM.

You'll be a member of June 2010.....head over to the quit groups....have a look around and post roll.

Again...check your in-box and shoot me a message.

Clemsontiger 89,
First off your team sucks! Now get your ass over to roll call and begin quit, stay quit and start calling me names. It is so fun to vent here. There are a bunch of merciless a-holes in here that know what we are going through.

hey y'all.
It is 5:00 am here in Clemson, south carolina. I am new to this site and I have absolutely no idea how to operate or even if i am posting correctly. I have been a dipper for a few years, now in my Junior year in college, at 5:00 am on a thursday morning, I have decided I have had enough. My dipping started in high school and got progressively worse. I dip the most when I study, as I am doing now at 5:00 am, and when I drive, especially on my long road trips back home to VA. I have always wanted to quit, but always had that "nah, cancer wont happen to me attitude". The first big motivator in my recent reason to quit is for myself. The test I am studying for now is biochemistry, and ironically, we are studying about diseases and how their causes, and we talked about how nicotine and tobacco cause cancer. I must say, my heart sank in that lecture hall. I have a bad addiction, I dip a ton, more so now than ever because I have been studying more now than ever. I just took my last dip about 20 minutes ago, and emptied out my can in the trash-can. I know I have the mental ability to do this, I will just need some help, because the environment I live in is not going to provide me with the support I will need.
Thanks yall,
Patrick

Having support during a stressful time is always good, but remember you are quitting for YOU not anyone else!!! Saving yourself is good for the family but they can't do it for you --- YOU are the captain of that ship. Stay strong and believe in yourself that YOU CAN DO THIS. I am on day 33 of freedom after being a Cope user for 40 years so yes it is a challenge, but one day at a time. 'Remshot' 'Popcorn'

Question:  My quit begins on Thursday (taking Friday off work) and will spend the next 72 hours doing anything but dipping.  My wife is planning to leave town with my son for three days while I begin my quit.  Is this a good idea or a bad idea?  Will I need her around?  Will I be so sick that I can't even function?

Looks like your plan for the first weekend is similar to mine...I took a day off on Friday (Monday was a holiday) so that I'd have 96 hours to get over the initial hump before going back into work.

Regarding your wife and kids...I personally wanted mine around for support. Even though I was an insufferable bastard...knowing that they were watching me  supporting me helped keep me from saddling up  heading to the c-store. Your mileage may vary.

I wanted to be around people but at the same time was in such bad shape that needed to be left alone.

The good news is you can come here and let loose... we know what you're going through!
