I can honestly say that the difference in quitting now than when I had quit some time ago is because I finally found KTC. Quitting long term (I.e. Forever) is hard. Quitting today is easy. It seems like its a short term goal. ODAAT. Accountability is the other main factor. Posting Roll seemed a bit weird at first but after being on here 5 days, I totally get it. It's also a way to keep track of our brothers and sisters. Quit on my friends, quit on.

I stopped by one of my old suppliers and made him promise to never ever sell me that shit in a can again.

I gotta get some shit done. I will post roll daily. I will help my brother and sister quitters. I will not take a dip today or the next day and so on. For Lent I have given up Social Media. Damn glad this site isn't considered Social Media. I will not give up dip for Lent because I only will focus on today and tomorrow. The season of Lent ends with Easter and for all you quitters out there, be sure that quitting doesn't have an end date. It goes on day by day forever. In the event I get the urge, I vow to you all that I will get back on here for help. I am not going to need any because I quit for good. See you all on the daily roll.

Raider, it was great to log on here and see you whip the nic bitches ever loving ass.  Don't let anything change that. Remember you made the decision to quit, there is nothing that can change that.  Returning to that nightmare you left behind is not an option.  Proud to be quit with ya.

Chris, You woke me up on day 1. Luck has not a damn thing to do with quitting. It's 100% attitude. I have been faced with many challenges during the past few days and I am glad to say I passed them all. My truck not starting this morning ended up with a $1200 repair bill. DAMNIT but at least I didn't cave. Never quit quitting.
Amen, this is when I would start dividing 1200 by how much you spent on dip and be very glad that you are winning X amount of dollars per day. Lol

Just think how much the medical bills would be to cut your tongue out.

Quit on brother.

I smell quit in here.
As a "former" closet dipper I had nobody to turn to in the past. This site has everything I need to succeed. All I needed to provide was the willingness and attitude.
ODAAT brother...I'll quit with you
Quitting every damn day since October 21, 2013

Nice, dude. The truck not starting would make me have had to dig deep to not cave. Keep it up. Going through the same shit.

Today sucks. The headache will not go away. I know it's the Nic knocking but I ain't answering. This will be a bumpy ride but the outcome will be worth it.
I always felt better with a ton of water and a nice walk. Fresh air. Breath in life and freedom.
Funny you mention the walking. Got another test this am. Went to take my son to school and my damn truck won't start. At least it wasn't too damn cold and the walk was great.

It's helpful to log your changing experiences like this in your Intro thread- I'm glad you're doing it. You can look back at it later and see just what you never want to go through again. It also helps other newer quitters later, because they will relate to what you go through, just as you probably have wiht other quitters' threads you've seen. And finally, it lets us out here know how you are doing and whether you need some specific support.

It does suck at time but ideas like GrizClaws' and Derks' below can help-try them out. Those guys are both badasses with huge quit wisdom. And, it does get better overall VERY fast. Not that it still wont suck at times, but these first few days require some balls or a very close facscilimile.

Quit on Raider, you got this! I see some strong quit growing here!
This info helped me early on, and still does today: https://whyquit.com/whyquit/linksaaddiction.html

Quitters I’ve met so far: Ihatecope, >Pinched<, T-Cell, grizzlyhasclaws, Canvasback, BaseballPlayer, Cbird65, ERDVM, BradleyGuy, Ted, Zeno, AppleJack, Bronc, Knockout, MookieBlaylock, Rdad, 2mch2lv4, MN_Ben, Natro, Lippizaner, Amquash, ChristopherJ, GDubya, SRohde  -- always eager to meet more!

The outcome and goal is to do whatever it takes to stay quit today!

Get some tylenol or motrin in you asap, get a little caffeine also (not too much, but that might help the headache). Really focus on getting a lot of fluid in you with the focus on water as grizzclaws stated. Get a workout in or enjoy the outdors with a walk/run. Getting the blood pumping will do wonders if you can do it.

Hang strong today! You are doing it. Scratch  claw for this quit today!
