On a side note....the white spot on my gum has took a complete 180 and pretty much cleared up. There are still traces of it, but it's much better than it was yesterday.

Even thought it's better....I still want to quit. It's going to be tough, but i'll do it. With that being said...where exactly am I supposed to post roll?? Here?? Or somewhere else??

Thanks again for the support.
Hey BD - I'm 32 years old - dipped for the last 16 years and am now 43 days quit. I'm not gonna sugarcoat this for you.... it is a bitch of a struggle. I still have a nagging voice in my head that tries to convince me nearly every hour that I can go bum a dip. just one. yeah, right. been down that path before.

chew gum, seeds, fake chew even! keep yourself as busy as possible. don't be afraid to eat whatever you want either. you deserve to treat yourself if you stay quit.- for yourself and your boys. hang in there.

Good to see you posting roll. Make it part of your daily routine, ie WUPP (Wake Up, Piss, Post Roll). Eventually it will become second nature. We understand you can't always get to the site every day so get some numbers for others in your quit group. On those rare days you can text them and ask someone to pick you up on roll. Quit on BDavis. I quit with you for today.
Look forward to seeing you down the road to HOF, I am almost there myself, and believe me you CAN do this!

Do not ever hesitate to reach out to anyone on this site. I hope you find more than just the strength to quit nicotine here.

My digits are just a PM away (click inbox top right corner - message center)

Unlike quitting products, total adherence to a personal commitment to not violate the law of addiction provides a 100% guarantee of success. Although obedience may not always be easy, the law is clear, concise and simple - no nicotine today, not one puff, dip or chew!

Post roll in July 2016 here...

topic/11568995/1/

If you stay quit you will reach 100 days with your group. 100 days is not cured (there is no cure) but it is the first major milestone on the road to quit.

Post roll as soon as you wake up every morning. It is your promise not to use nicotine for 24 hours. Quitting is done actively. If you drift you will give yourself an excuse to go back to nicotine. Get digits in your group and help others.

That white spot should be a wake up call. There is no benefit from using nicotine or tobacco other than to prevent nicotine withdrawal.

I quit with you today.

I appreciate you bros for looking out for me, and showing legit concern for my quit. I work long days so I get to a computer late at night....but i'm here, i'm clean, and i'm definitely struggling. But if it wasn't for you guys supporting me, and pushing me to continue to do the right thing....it wouldn't be possible. You guys are legit saving my life, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Have a quit plan for the weekend, collect phone numbers, and stay close to this site. Weekends can be tough, be prepared.

Good job! Reaching out to others via PM for support is your next step (if you haven't already done so). I personally believe that if your quit means a lot to you then you need to be the one to extend the hand out and say here is my number, how about yours.








Just for today, Self.

Welcome BDavis. I have sent you a pm with my number. I am part of the July 16 Group. Reach out and get our numbers and get to know us.
FLOOR.. 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..11..12...13..14..15..16..17..18..19

It is very simple! We quit for today! We wake up! Do it again tomorrow!! One day at a time!
We walk in each others quit shoes, it may be a little different but ultimately the same exact thing

"Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers."

Good on you for following through with your dentist, and for posting roll.

^^^ That's the exact reason you can't let fear of cancer be the primary motivator of your quit.

You've got to quit because it's the right thing to do.

It's really hard to quit, and you have to want it bad.

Stick around here, and we'll show you how it's done.

You'll hate nicotine, and tobacco, and the tobacco companies so much, you'll never want to put that shit in your mouth again.

Hey fellas...Day 2 wasn't too bad. Thank you guys for the support and for pushing me to do the right thing. I haven't had a chance to post roll until now, but I've been able to check your comments throughout the day which has been a gigantic help.

I'm close with my Dentist, so he squeezed me in today to take a look at the white spot just to give me a peace of mind. Unfortunately, he didn't know what it was at all. It didn't scare him, he didn't think it was bad, X-Rays looked fine.....but he had just never seen it before. So I have an appointment in a few weeks with an oral surgeon to get his opinion.

Even though the doctor didn't seem too alarmed....I was able to fight off the urge to reach for the can. It really wasn't that bad, but I know that it will get worse.

So keep the comments and words of support coming....I'll need it so I can kick this shit for good.
Well done brother...
Keep posting roll. Do it early!
And get involved in your group.
I quit with you.
ALL DAY LONG
I believe.....

I know you checked in today, why the hesitation to post roll?

I went to the dentist many times as an active used............and as soon as that oral cancer check was negative, I couldn't get to my car fast enough to jam poison into my mouth again. Good health results are nice, but not an invitation to use again.

We are addicts, there was a time I'd do anything to get my fix, now I quit one day at a time.
