day 1

[hokie83]

today when i go home for my lunch break, i'm going to grab a bag of sunflower seeds....i'm thinking i might give myself a good test on my second day here by stopping at the store i would normally buy dip from.

walk right past the cans, get my sunflower seeds, and head right out the door

Why don't you have seeds already? It's a little rough on day 2 to be fuckin around like that. It's a strong test man. Maybe you can go to a different store that doesn't sell dip? Can you get someone to get seeds for you? What's your plan for when you're in the store, and the nic bitch whispers in your ear? Do you have a plan? Do you have any phone numbers? PM me if you need one.

i think i'll be cool...i've been through the "one more can for so and so reason" a hundred time before, then i get home pack a dip and immediately feel like shit for buying another can. not this time. there is no way, no how i am buying a can.

[jbeee]

I have done it a hundred times since I quit. You just have to tell yourself that you're going to buy seeds and nothing else and be strong. If you think the tempatation is going to be too strong, I advise you to go someplace where you don't have to see it. If going to that particular store is a trigger for you.. don't go until you have this thing whipped good and proper!!

JMHO

36 hours in...feeling good :D

Glad to hear it hokie...it's going to turn, and probably pretty quickly on you. Don't stress out, and don't give up or give in. Every crave goes away. Every fog ends. "The Suck" sucks, but not forever. Embrace it, love it, and use it.

The crappiness you're going to experience is your body healing itself and getting rid of the nicotine. The Nic Bitch will NOT go quietly. Stay strong and stay quit...you can do this.

i think i was hesitant to join the forum because i figured that being on here and talking about dipping would make me think more about dipping, which would make me want to do more dipping.

and so far, it has made me think about it, but not so much in a craving way, reading through everything that ive seen on here makes me even happier with my decision to quite.

i've only hit a couple rough moments today...from the habit side of the addiction the next one will be coming shortly when i normally take my post-workday shit / dip

This place will always remind you where you came from and you will never want to go back. If you leave here you will forget what it was like real soon.

hey every body....took me a while to decide to join this, but i figured, whats it going to hurt.


well like the title says, today is my Day 1....approximately 10pm EST will mark the first 24 hours without dip.

been dipping for around 7-8ish years.  1/2 can a day for the first few years, moved up to a can a day for the past 3-4 years....went from skoal to copenhagen to kodiak to rooster and for the past 2 or so years ive been on red man.

anyone got any advice? i know these first few days are going to suck balls.

First, great decision to quit...but you need to be much more fucking serious about your quit than, "what's it going to hurt?" THAT sounds like someone not convinced that this is the right thing to do, or that you don't know if you really want to. Better figure all that out before making promises to EVERYONE on the site that you are quit (posting roll is a promise to ALL of us, not just your class)

Advice - read everything you can on the site...EVERYTHING...and when you get tired, take a break, then come back and read even more...

And biggest piece of advice...get to know others on here and use them for support...you will need it...these first few days/weeks are going to be HARD...but you can and will do it if you want to.

Yea, the "What's it going to hurt" thing...it's a lot more serious here than that. Since you've joined and CoachDoc and I have now responded to your post, you are not allowed to cave unless you call us both and get both of our permission...you read that right...we both have to agree to let you dip again. Cause if you do cave...WE are going to hurt...YOU...and you won't even hear it coming...

fair enough....like i said though, i'm committed to the quit...i just hadnt decided for sure about joining this forum, thats what i referred to when i said "what could it hurt"....im dead serious about the the quit

My advice:

Get laid as much as possible.

Drink plenty of fluids, especially juices. Lay off of alcohol if you can help it.

Enjoy the feeling of you addiction dying a very slow and well deserved death.

I try to picture hippies getting crushed to death by fat bitches. It's awesome.

-living with my gf...who has a very healthy sexual appetite- check
-juices, check-......-alchohol-....we'll see, but i never dipped while drinking
-enjoy- will do

[animal house] my advice to you is to start drinking heavily [/animal house]

i've always wanted to say that on this board, and you provided me with the opportunity.

On a more serious note, it will suck but I can tell you 12 weeks later that it does get easier. Read everything you can on this site. If there is knowledge about quitting cold turkey, it is here. The best thing you can do is to be active in your quit - post roll, get to know some people and be accountable, and share what you learn during your quit.

thanks...glad i could provide you with the opportunity to use the quote, haha
