You may not realize this, I didn't way back then, but you were sharing the thoughts of two different people. The addict. And the real person that you are. The real you wants to quit. The real you knows how bad this addiction is for you. How unhealthy it is. How shameful it is to be a slave to the leaves of a plant that slip an addictive poison into your body every time you partake of it. The addict puts excuses into you mind and tries to trick you into postponing or weaning down. The addict knows both of these will cause you to fail to quit.

Well your in the right place. Here we quit together. Throw everything you have into your quit. Own it. It's yours. Make friends here. Take all the support that is extended to you. Get involved with the others in your quit group. Post roll first thing every morning. Don't let time slip by without posting roll which is giving your promise just for today. Forever is too much to commit to. Just commit to today. And then do it again. You'll soon be surprised at what you've accomplished and you'll swell with pride from your results. Give me a shout anytime.
I'm not sure what your cryptic excuse for not posting roll means, but this here^^^^^^is some of the best advice you can get. Get your act in gear and post roll daily. And don't come up with some addict speak about how you are going to quit your way instead....your way is what brought you to this site. Our way works.

Evidently he has gone by the wayside and back to finger banging the can. He hasn't posted roll since Saturday and attempted to create another account last night. He hasn't answered my PM.
nah I didn't go back to finger banging cope straight but you do make that sound very enticing if I do say so myself..regardless I did do a double take on whether I wanted to actually quit and wasn't gonna post roll if I wasn't 100% all in.

Congratulations on being smart enough to quit when leaving college. Many of us were not. I just quit at the age of 59. It takes a great deal of courage to do this. But, once you have a number of days under your belt you realize that when you feel the craves, and I still get them at day 252, that you distract your mind and think about something else.

I am so happy that I have proven that I can eat, walk, do chores, work, play and do everything without a dip in my mouth.

You are on the right road. Continue posting daily, stay strong and remember that there is no reason to go back.

I quit with you today.

I joined 5 days ago. Quit on Thursday May 12th...after the 13th, 14th, 15th I realized this is to hard. Something led me to search the web real quick before I made a trip to 7-11, for solutions to what exactly in my brain makes nicotine is so addictive or maybe quickly grasp an answer to for my stupidity of even starting to dip in the first place. Long story short, this is when I discovered KILL THE CAN COMMUNITY. I knew I would ultimately have to try and quit so I told myself for 4 years that my quitting deadline was going to be the day I cleaned my college dorm room out. I guess I never thought that day would arrive. Maybe I figured I wasn't really serious about quitting but in the back of my mind I justified that every dip, can, log,or Andrew Jackson I had to brake, was only for a certain amount of time so, it was "okay", because I was eventually going to stop. May 12th came rolling in with allegations challenging me to break my word. I logically knew my accuse to dip was gone now... In truth, the next deadline available to stop I could think of was if it ends up killing me. Memories flashbacked; always claiming how I would quit the day I left college and how my roommates would always start laughing. If I don't quit now, every dip, can, log, and $20 bill I spent on this addiction will have been justified by a one lie, that I told myself and others a million times.

When I was leaving campus for the last time I said what the hell, threw the last pinch in and Quit on Thursday May 12th...after the 13th, 14th, 15th I realized this was tougher than anything else I have ever done. With that said, I have to conquer this so I can look myself in the mirror and honestly know I am in control of my words and decisions because if I can't or not, then how can I believe in anything I say or do. If I can't trust my own words, how can I expect anybody to ever trust me.

Lastly, I know how much this means to me and because of that I know how much support means to others. I am thankful for a community and wanted to post to introduce myself; humbly, respecting and understanding the up-hill battle and just another person in the same boat here to support.

The story  mission,

btnsixman.
Hard, yes. Impossible,no.

Being an addict is bad, and good. Addicts are all in on everything they do. All in. The most successful and fun people I know are addicts (who don't use). It gets so much better. And winning feels like nothing you have experienced in a while. You are a genius for doing this early. I spit out a Lexus from the time I graduated college until I finally quit. You aren't a dumb fuck like me!

Keep posting one day at a time. If you need a number or anything shoot me a pm. Welcome aboard, winner!
