Finally quitting - for good

[Ginet]

Hi Shelly - I am also a female dipper....well I was....I quit....286 days ago. You know, I was so scared, nervous, full of doubt, anxious and hopeful when I started here. I had a plan to quit. I thought I knew what I was going to do, how I could handle it, how I could be successful at this. The reality was, I just had to trust what these people were telling me. I just had to jump in feet first and quit. Just be quit. I spent a lot of time reading to both be educated but to also pass some time and not have to log off of my lifeline.....KTC and these people.

I would sleep as much as possible to get thru the first few days. I would practically live in chat and text two or three people everyday. I began to understand that every one here knows what the fears were like, how the anxiety felt, how the insecurity and doubt tried to bring you down, and how just following the POST ROLL, KEEP YOUR WORD, REPEAT method truly worked.

We all get it. Come here to vent. Scream and punch your way thru this. Post in your thread and keep a record of how shitty it is.....do this so you will NEVER forget how horrible it is......so you don't have to do it again.

We put ourselves here. We are addicts. But, you are going to have do the work, and we will be here to support you each step of the way. You will see so many hands reaching out to you......all you have to do is just grab one. We got you.....

Quit on sister....

Thank you guys. I am ready, but I know how tough it will be.

I'll check in to roll tomorrow, then I work from 9-5.

We all understand the pain of quitting that you are going through and the withdrawal that you have ahead of you. I was where you are 2 1/2 years ago and honestly at the time I didn't think it was going to be possible to quit. My brothers and sisters here made it possible. They hold me accountable and likewise I hold them accountable and it has led to success. Whatever you do don't halfass it.

Good. Post roll as soon as you wake up. That'll ensure your quit for tomorrow. Great job getting through today. You are doing it!!

Thanks Hart. I was not being totally honest in my intro; when I said I was out of sorts posting my intro, I should've said I was (and am) sitting here crying. It's crazy, I know. The fucking power this crap has over my life!

My husband is trying to be supportive. I have since told him what I'm doing, but he had never quit anything, so he had no clue. He asks me, "what's worse, the physical addiction, or lack of nicotine?". Honestly, I have no idea what's what. I just know that I felt better before, with a quick fix.

Thanks for listening.

Ok Shelly. Here's the deal. You will beat this. With our help. But you gotta follow the process.

You are an addict. You need to admit that and you have a chance. Flush all your shit. All of it. Let us know when it's done. If you haven't done so, find the quit groups page and post roll in January 2015. This is the month you hit the hall of fame (100 days) and you will hit 100 days. I'm gonna put our pack of girl quitters on your butt and they will ensure you stay quit. But you have to be committed as well. Very much so committed.

You can quit this. You can come out on the other side empowered for being quit and wanting to continue self-improvement. You have roughly ~ 500 active supporters wanting to see you be successful.

My story? 25 year dipper 9100 days 35 thousand bucks pissed in the wind to kill myself. How stupid is that? Fuck big tobacco. You need to develop a hatred as well. It will give your quit staying power. Fucking pricks. Make shit highly addictive that will kill you and market it as a safe alternative to smoke tobacco. Oh yeah, let's make a junior high entry level called hawkin. They need to be stood up in a line and have their collective sacks cut off. Maybe turn them into coin purses for the money we're saving.

Other than that I'm a nice guy.

Please listen to my brother D4M here. Join us. We are here to support you. Just follow the program. We are saving each other's lives.

I just posted my first roll - day 1.

That really sucks on a phone, but the extra time it takes will fill some time, I guess.

Post in roll call every morning. We are all here for help. Life is better nic free!

Hello everyone. I'm Shelly from Wisconsin.

I quit smoking seven years ago (thank god), but I chose to use pouches to replace the nicotine. I didn't realize at the time that they actually contained bmore/b nicotine than cigs! I was still happy, since I smoked for twenty years, and I do breath easier now. A friend of mine suggested quitting smokes that way, but I couldn't imagine using bare tobacco, and then he showed me pouches.

Now, it's time for me to quit all tobacco. I actually tried to start this last week Friday, on my own, using nicotine gum. It turned out highly unsuccessful. I didn't tell my husband. I made it through the first day relatively easily, and then on day 2, we had a terrible fight, and we never fight. I immediately ran to the store and bought more pouches.

Now, for the last week I have pared my usage down to two/day, until today... and that increased to three. The same cycle all over again. I visited this site last week, and ordered some fake pouches to help. I will get them tomorrow.

I can't believe that I am so screwed up, that I am sitting here totally out of sorts just posting this.

Are our posts censored here? Are we allowed to talk freely? I don't want to come off with little class, but I can tell already that there will be times when I need to vent, honestly.

I hope this works out. I hope I don't drag others down in the process, and I hope I can help others, after or while, I get some help.

Shelly. Vent and vent honestly, we know what your going through with the addiction and withdrawal we are living it too. Keep doing this the rewards will be worth it. Remember we all quit just for today. One day at a time. Make today day one and post roll. You can do this.
