The freedom on the other side is so worth the suck.

Everybody experiences it differently, but in a week or so, you will read your intro paragraph and chuckle. I damn near guarantee it.

What you need to do is post roll. You're in the December '16 quit group here.

Learn how to post roll here.

Posting roll is your admission fee to this otherwise free site. Posting roll is the cost of the support you find here.

You will develop a passion for quit after the fog lifts, and you experience the freedom of being quit. The can no longer controls your life. Your 11 mo. old will not remember a father that dipped. I really wish I could say that.

Remember the suck, and never experience it again.

Proud to quit with you.
Max, we here know what you are feeling. Addiction is powerful. - but you can stay quit. But first you have to take your balls back from the nic bitch who seems to own you. Don't you hate the fact that your addiction to a filthy plant is making you think its more important to feed the crave than take care of your family? Do you hate the tobacco companies that make obscene profits off of people's (including your) addictions?

You can not half ass this quit. Make your promise. One day at a time. You are not alone here and you can do this.
You got this, don't be a slave to a weed. Nothing is better with nicotine, that is the trick your addict mind is playing on you. believe me, everything gets better and it will.

Your thought about getting a new job reminded me of this story:
The Sound of Cancer

You can do it and we can help, post roll and go get that new job!

Hey all,
Formerly a 13 year, 1 - 1.5 can/day dipper of Grizzly Straight Long Cut. Today is my second full day without nicotine and what a nightmare it is. I envy all of you who seem to be psyched about finally kicking the habit, but I have to be honest, I am not psyched at all about it. I know that it isn't the way it is supposed to be done, but I my motivations for quitting are not for my own benefit (though I know it is to my benefit) , I am quitting because I've gotten a chance for an interview at a very reputable hospital and it is against their hiring policy to hire people who use nicotine. This job would be huge for my wife and daughter, but even still I am so addicted, I would really rather have my dip right now. I am so addicted to dip that despite being in a situation where I am a veteran as well as a college graduate working in a dead-end almost minimum wage job (due to the fact that I have had terrible luck finding good work after graduating 3 months ago and simply had to take something), I would still rather have my lousy dip and forget about that potentially great job and everything that comes with it. I just don't know how to get over this, I really don't. In my head I can't help but thinking things like "what's the point in having a cup of coffee? I can't even enjoy it without my dip." "What's the point of even owning a game console, how can I play video games without a dip?" etc. These are the things that keep going on in my head. I haven't really eaten much the past couple days because I know how bad it will suck not to have a dip after my meal. I'm feeling so miserable from the withdrawals, that I can't even enjoy spending time with my 11 month old daughter, really freaking sad. I play with her and put on a nice face but it's all phony, I'm miserable inside and I'd rather just have my damn dip and enjoy things again. I really hope I don't go back to dip after the whole job thing is over I know that would be so stupid, I want to be free of it forever, hopefully I'll start feeling better and more confident after a few days. Well I guess that's it for now, Ill get on and post some more stuff later, sorry for the whining but I've really got no one else to whine to, certainly no one that understands what I'm feeling.

Max
Read your paragraph out loud to yourself. And then I challenge you to go read it aloud to your wife and daughter. Believe me, you hate this crap, you just haven't self-realized it yet.
