Thank you. You've done a great job.

I need some help, this post makes me realize that I truly do have something wrong in my settings. I mentioned before that the site didn't look very good to me anymore. I still don't have any graphics or banner when I log on. What I see is so plain. Always viewing site on iphone.

Hmm... what are you seeing? Can you take screenshot and post it?

Here's what the forums are "supposed" to look like currently:

Check this out Curt Schilling on his cancer and its cause!

I pray for that dude. How many thousands of times did I glance at the warning label, only to instantly avert my eyes. I saw a Skoal ad in a magazine tonight. The warning label takes up 1/3 of the page, with the remainder of the ad showing two dudes muddin' their ATVs. Before I would have never looked the ad over. I didn't want to see it. Tonight I actually read it because I quit that shit. What's done is done but I sure as hell don't want any part of paying someone to kill me anymore.

Good to see Curt coming back. The piece that sticks out to me is this:

"This is my fault," he tells Ravech. "I chewed tobacco for thirtysomething years. I was warned and warned year after year, and I didn't pay attention."

Me too. I watched the complete interview several times yesterday, and his description of the pain that accompanied the treatment, and that he could understand why many people in the same condition choose suicide was chilling.

There but by the grace of God................................

I bet there are new guys going to show up from this, just like the news on Tony Gwynn.

If you're reading this now, with a fat one in you face, wondering if you should, if you COULD Quit...please...spit that shit out. Flush your entire stash and let's get to it.

If we can. You can. Learn your lesson from other's pain.

Hi, my name is cody, iv been dipping for about 4 years, and have tried several times unsuccessfully to quit, but I found this website so Im going to do it again and actually succeed this time!

Welcome Cody, and congrats on 1 awesome decision... Stop by our Welcome Center and learn about roll call and how to do it: forum/55560/

This is going to suck for a few days. Remember these days and know that you never have to go through them again.

You got this. You have come to the right place.

Your quit group will be December 2014: topic/10503924/195/#new

Holler if you need anything

I have selected tomorrow, 9/11/14 as my quit day mainly because it has sentimental meaning to me. I did have a quick question for the group. Has anyone tried any of the nicorette products to ease the cravings from stopping dip? I understand its labeled as a quit smoking aid but thought I would ask.

Thanks,
Justin

Hey Justin - the Nicorette products (as well as other brands) will indeed "work" to ease the cravings. However, that is because they are delivring nicotine to your body.

I'd strongly advise against using these products as you aren't truly "quit" while you're using them. You're merely delaying the inevitable withdrawal.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!

But why wait? Why not make 9/11 day #2?

Chewie

Gotta agree with the Chews bro. Tomorrow, while it holds sentiments for millions of people all over the world, is no better day than today when it comes to Quitting.

People who pick dates, more times than not, don't show up for the game. Quit now, don't worry about tomorrow until, well...tomorrow.

'Now' is a very powerful thing. Own it. Own the Now.
