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.
dont worry, i'm dead serious about quitting, i just meant i wasnt sure whether or not to join the site and the forum...but that i figured it definitely wouldnt hurt to have a support system

spent most of the day yesterday reading the site and checking things out, i know im ready to quit...just anxious about it i suppose.
