Glad you're here brother, proud to be quit with you.
I thought I had the flu the first week!
The great news is you don't have to do it alone. Me and a couple hunert bad ass totally committed quitters are standing strong with you.
Have you joined a group and started posting roll yet?

100% normal. Believe it or not, you're right on track.

Here's a remarkably accurate timeline for your first 100 days. https://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/wh ... t-dipping/

Say, Didja hear the one about the guy who put his quit off until it was too late?

He died of esophageal cancer. But not before he put his family through hell, depleted his finances on medical bills, and left them destitute.

Yeah, it's a real knee slapper.

ahh yes... the dreaded tomorrow quitter. sometimes, tomorrow doesn't come.

(from the wikipedia) "U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company (formerly United States Tobacco Company) manufactures smokeless tobacco products,...
Copenhagen and Skoal are the company's leading brands, and each represents more than $1 billion per year in retail sales."

Well they've gotten their last dollar from me.

How bout you?

hell yes! no more from me either... and THAT's a good place to be.

Statistically speaking, the odds are in your favor when playing Russian roulette (statistical analyses assumes a revolver is used)
Statistics don't count for squat if it's you that craps out, gets cancer and screws your whole famdamly.
Yeah, that's right, you're shooting more than just yourself; everyone in your circle of influence is adversely affected.
It's not just cancer either, there are a whole host of other negative health effects from nicotine.

go ahead, pull the trigger.

Why quit

This is a good read for anyone thinking about quitting but have not yet committed to it.

I know I always get, and will probably always get that terror every time anything seems amiss in my mouth. "Has that bump always been there?" "Why is there a sore in my cheek?" "Is this the one that'll disfigure me for the rest of my life?" Every trip to the dentist I get that 20$ screening. Nothing more terrifying while they are doing it, shouldn't have to worry about screening for cancer at 27. But once they are done and tell me I'm clear that relief is like nothing else.

I've thought it so many times, why oh why did I ever put that second dip in?
Can't change it now. I can change TODAY.
TODAY, I don't chew.

It is a very good read!

As IÂ’ve said before, I wish that I could go back 12 years and slap the piss out of the younger me for even trying dip!
What confuses me is “why?”
Why do we put something that we know is bad for us in our system?
I remember by first dip, got the spins and threw up... why did I try it again when obviously my body is telling me itÂ’s bad?
Why did I keep justifying paying more and more money for it?
Why did it take me so long to quit?

Obviously IÂ’m not looking for answers to these questions, mostly just the ramblings of a tired and kinda hungry me lol

New to the website. Where do we post roll at? First day quitting and itÂ’s absolute hell

been lookin for ya in May 18.
You can stand out in the cold bro but it's much warmer by the fire where all the quitters stand and post roll together.
Either way, I hope your decision is to quit, all the way, no turning back.
