What exactly does this ^^^^^ mean?
It means we have a quitter (as he as edited it to day 1)

Always....What's your plan to stay quit today?
In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

No chew saturday 'finger point'
The good news, you not only posted roll on the message board but you also posted in the May group. On the flip side, WTF is this:

alwaysdipin- day ? No chew saturday

Did you dip yesterday? Did you cave again yesterday? Is today your second consecutive Day 1?

I'm not going to berate you if today is day 1 again, you came clean yesterday that you caved and sought out advice. But if today is Day 1 or Day 2, then own that number man. Be quit for that day, chalk up the win, and go for a +1 day tomorrow. But know your number. If I can narrow it down to day 1 or day 2 for you, I'm sure you can figure out which one it is depending if you had a dip yesterday or not.
Steak is right, post your quit day. It helps not only you, but others keep you accountable.

Just like everybody else has said, I used to think I couldn't get through a meeting without a lipped. Well, lo  fucking behold, it turns out not only can I make through meetings, I can solve all kinds of problems without simultaneously killing myself.

Here's how you do this:

1. Grow a pair of balls.
2. Slam em in a goddamn drawer whenever you run into a trigger.
3. No more craves.

And post roll every fucking day.
Bingo!!!

sometimes you might need to slam them twice because the first time feels so good......
This is one of the greatest crave killers of all time! I just gave the same advice on another post. I love it when great quitters think alike!

I'm pretty sure you don't dip for a living unless you work for skoal as a dip taste tester, or some other line of work as a professional dipper. We were all talented enough to be professional dippers, but in reality we didn't get paid to dip, we paid to dip. With that being said, would it be safe to surmise that you don't need to quit your job to quit dipping? Yes? Good. Would it also be safe to say that the following is the addict talking, "How do avoid the biggest trigger of all when it's your job? I can't quit my job."? Yes again? Good, 2 fer 2.

Now, step 1 is to realize that you can do your job just as effectively without a dip in your mouth. I'll also wager that once the shit is out of your system you'll actually do your job better than you did with the dip in your mouth. These sound like simple revelations but when that fog lifts and you see yourself from the outside looking in, it's pretty pathetic. At least it was for me, and I'm a much happier person knowing that I don't dip, and I can do all the shit I used to do only while dippingÂ…better.

I received a pm from a member the other day saying to avoid the triggers that would make me want to dip. All of you have gone through the same things I am going through. How do avoid the biggest trigger of all when it's your job? I can't quit my job. Not making any excuses. I made it two days without dipping. I caved in today. My wife is very supporting of me quitting this habit. Everyone on here needs encouraged to continue staying nicotine free. Looks like I start over.
Day 1 again. There must be something in the air. You say your biggest trigger is your job. My biggest trigger was my eyes being opened. As soon as i brushed my teeth after waking i placed a big was of chew in and all day long i would make preparations for my next and then the next.

If i can post roll and keep my word daily you can damn sure do it. How bad do you want this. There is no magic trigger peel.

Here's something to think about. Quitting is worth a job change. Quitting is worth moving from one country to another. Quitting is worth whatever you got to do to make it happen. That's a fact!! Post roll and keep your word or continue being a slave. That's your choices. You got three questions to answer.
I totally agree with srans. This isn't about finding secret tips on how to withstand cravings. Your brain is screaming at you for its fix. After all its what you gave it over and over and over again. Quitting is all about DESIRE. Real heartfelt, desperate, life of death desire. You have to want to be done with it more than anything else. Wanting to quit, or knowing you should quit isn't enough. Its got to come from deep down.
Post your new day one today. You only posted a Day 1, then you caved. Gotta admire your resolve...not
Answer 3 questions.
What happened?
Why did it happen?
What are you going to do different this time.
mind shift here needed.....

you have an addiction. that is why you keep throwing nicotine back into your lip and into your system.

if it was a habit, then you would use other items and not poison yourself.

So realize that first, because until you do, history will repeat.

then move into the higher education of yourself with those 3 questions. Do not take them lightly. really think about them and write them down.
Either you want to quit or you don't. No one here can help you if you don't want to quit. You have to be the one to keep the dog shit out of your mouth. Are you a man or a monkey?
Answer the 3 questions. Keep this in mind... Your odds of getting help from us hinges on you remaining engaged with us. You came here the other day... Disappeared with your holster and car keys out the door ... Then show up today and tell us you stuffed your face full of dip. Then ask us about triggers.

Quitting here requires you to communicate with us. Then we communicate back. Drive by quitters fail. Show us you want it and stay with us... We are here to help. With that, Your odds increase exponentially.

No magic potion as others said. My biggest craves centered around stressful situations. I still have stressful situations but I now deal with them without dipping.

You can do this. But you have to want it. Right now you are not all in here.

How do you avoid a trigger?

You don't.

You avoid putting yourself in a situation that can lead to failure. You can be proactive in your quit. But life fucking happens man. There's shitty things we have to face, and quitting is not in a vacuum. I fucking chewed every moment I was awake, and say at a comp all day with it in. I found other things to do. I fucking lost my friend in the first week, and I found a way to stay quit.

The point is that you are in control of your actions. Your work, your life...no. Those things happen. How you react is your responsibility.

Answer the 3 questions, and fucking move forward. Never again for any reason.
In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone.

My biggest trigger was my job as well. There is no secret on beating that trigger. I'm sorry.

However, I am 627 days quit and still have the same job.

How did I do it? I went to work and said, "fuck it. I can do this job TODAY without dip. I'm not gonna worry about tomorrow, next week, next month, or my next road trip. Just today"

So that's what I did. I posted role every morning, went to work with that same montra, built a support network here and believed things would get easier/better...and they did.

It wasn't always easy, in fact it was hard as FUCK and my work did suffer a bit at the beginning, but after awhile you start to get into a groove and build confidence. Once you get there and realize it CAN be done you wonder why you though it was so hard to begin with.

If you REALLY want to quit you will take your fucking ass to work, man the fuck up one god damn day at a time, and get shit done.

If you only want to half ass quit and are going to cave like a little bitch when the going gets tough, then get used to the idea of living a life of continued slavery, cancer, no tongue, half a jaw, and a empty wallet. That's if you don't fucking die first.

Take your hands, put them down the front of your pants, grab those two round things we call BALLS and MAN THE FUCK UP.

We are here to help. You don't have to do it alone, nor do I recommend it. The playbook has been written, all you have to do is follow it. You need anything, hit me up at anytime. I'm here for you and so are 100's if not 1,000's more. Use us.

If that's too much, then kindly fuck off.
