Thanks for the support guys. On to day two. See what ya mean by foggy now day one was a breeze but today I will experience the suck. 'bang head'

[TheMissingPeace]

Matt- Saw that you posted Day 1. Awesome! Proud to be Quit with you. Let me know if there's anything I can do. Peace

Matt --- welcome to the fun house! I am 7 days quit as of today -- and I was like you last Friday. Hell, read my thread about it here:

I don't want to quit!

I too enjoyed the taste, at work, at home, driving, all the time! As you read my thread, I was going to quit the next day or so - as soon as my last can was done. But if I had actually waited til it was done, I would have ended up getting another can, then another, and so on. I said I wanted to quit, but it was just lip service, because I was an addict.

I am glad I posted on here that I wanted to quit, and I am glad the guys on here were pretty harsh on me (they actually knew what I needed to hear and how to say it). They opened my eyes to the pussy I was, and I threw out my newly purchased can and have not looked back. Well, I have looked back and sometimes the Nic Bitch is staring me down, but I have won for today and the previous days.

This is not a I'm done forever, I have forever removed dip from my life kinda thing. As an addict we have to take small steps - 1 day at a time. Shit, at times it's just 1 hour at a time. I have posted roll mid day after a panic attic this past week - just to reiterate to myself that I have quit!

Don't lie to yourself anymore --- throw that fucking can away. It will be hard, and you will / may go looking for a can to get you through. Don't cave - you will be happier once you are past 3-4 days of quitting. At day 7 I am finally getting sleep -- yes - finally. Stock up on seeds, hard candy and pretzels - you will need them.

There are a bunch of guys who can help you out - and I'll throw my name in the hat - send me a PM if you are feeling shitty and need some help. We can go through this with you - but you have to be the one who wants it (cuz we already want you to).

welcome to the aug '11 quit group... let me know if i can do anything to help.

post roll every morning, keep your word, stay quit. simple, but not easy.

[Souliman]

holy crap in a bucket what a great fucking day to quit!

dump the shit and put your word down.

[dchogs]

post roll today, keep your word today, and the rest follows. flush the can now, get it done. start the rest of your life today, dip-free.

[Cancrusher]

Would love to have you post with us in August 2011. Some mighty fine Quitters in there. You can do this man. Drink the Kool Aid!

[nicofiend]

Start knocking the nic BITCH out NOW!!!....... procrastination leads to further addiction!! From an addict that knows! NIco 'tough'

[syndrome]

Wow.... just got on here to see if anyone had looked at my intro while I had a free minute at work.  And yeah I got another fatty in....
Syndrome you pegged it I did post that with a big fatty in, caught red handed! Husker06484... damn that story reminded me of my uncle that I havent thought about in years... I was too young to understand when he died but I remember being told he got cancer from chewing. I remember that he scared the hell out of me because he talked strange, he would sneak around the corner to try to get me to talk to him. But when I heard him say my name I would run as fast as I could because he scared me so bad. The docs had to cut his tongue out. Mom told me they said he wouldn't be able to talk but he did it. I remember the call the night he past, he went in for surgery but was too weak to be put under so they could only numb the areas where they were cutting out the cancer, to try and prolong his life another couple of months. He died on the table. He endured tons of pain through his life, lost a leg in WW2, cancer, diabetes. I just realised while reading that, that he had to have one hell of a love for life to willingly go through that for just a few months more. And man I regret running.
Thanks to all of you I wish I had time to respond to all of you right now but I gotta get to work, but you all were heard loud and clear and I didnt expect anyone to really take the time to even respond. I am spittin this out and headed to dump the rest down the toilet. I will post roll call tomorow since I've broke the rules already today. Thanks to all of you and I hope one day I can return the favor by helpin someone like you all did me.
So I give you all my word on my uncle Eltons grave I am done.

ok matt man we got 2 big steps out a you. first you came back, then you threw the shit out. now you gotta comit yourself to your quit. cause you no what? its gonna suck for a few days. man all these dudes will tell you that. but man as you can see guys round here got your back.

start up a jernal man. rite down how it feels so you dont forget. hell make it sound 10 times worser. any time you even think bout takin a dip no you gotta go threw that agin next time you want to quit. man i no i aint gonna go threw all that shit agin. hell i dont even have to look at all the number what i got but i got em any ways.

now all you gotta do is post up on the roll call evry dam day. and gess what? your all reddy payin it back to the next guys what come along.

Matt - A lot of these dudes on here are hardcore. I wasn't - I still am not - but they know what the hell they're talking about. We all agree on the basic precepts of the site - post roll, keep your word, repeat. I'm on day 93 - the verge of the "Hall of Fame," and I still love the memories of dipping - after a big meal, mowing the lawn, taking a deuce, and especially after turning on some Air Supply to get the wife in the mood and successfully "Making Love Out of Nothing At All." Nothing seemed better than those lippers. BUT, there is some things actually better than them - freedom, life, a wife, hope, kids, forgiveness, baseball, friends, love from God, etc. The list could go on - and does, it gets longer and longer for me every day. You need to find one thing to put on that list for now and START NOW. "_____ is more important to me than dipping." Then watch the list grow. People around here will help you through the suck that is embedded in such a statement.

PM me if you need anything.

I will not say I am quit forever...... I don't have to.
All I have to say is I'm quit for today and make a promise.
I will do that again tomorrow and forever will get worked out in the process.....
TCOPE
Do it today

[Skoal Monster]

[Scowick65]

I agree with gmann. Go post roll ASAP. If you were surprised at the support you have had to date, post roll and see what comes your way. We have your back as soon as you commit to saving your own life. Choice is yours.

No need to wait. Post roll in August 2011 group now. Roll is your promise that you will not use nicotine in any form today. If you're willing to flush the can and make that promise, today is day 1. Stop thinking about it and do it. Worry about tomorrow when it gets here. Just quit today. Right now. And go post your day 1.
