Welcome Wedgie-
Great choice to choose freedom from the can!
Post roll, read, stay close to the site when things are tough.
Reach out to your bros when you need to, give back when you can.
Stay strong, protect your quit. Proud to be quit with you today.

Congrats. Best decision you ever made. Take it from a 41 year old who wished I could speak to me at 33. STOP NOW!

Don't wait another second. DO NOT BE AFRAID. you feel like your life will change and be a giant suck fest without your nic. your wrong. it will be the sweetest freedom you ever tasted.

stay strong. stay quit.

my phone number is in your pm box. use it if you need it.

[Wedge]

Thanks for the encouragement guys.

@Bean...I think it might have been your post that got me to commit today vs. waiting. You frightened me.

Evidently I'm not quite with it today, because i'm not quite understanding how to post roll.  I thought I saw someone had a link to a video.  Help?

I have read and re-read the instructions. I work with computers all day and can't figure it out. Perhaps when I am thinking clearer I will be able to understand the roll call instructions.

It took me a bit to figure it out too, and I consider myself pretty proficient with PC's as well. I don't know why, it's just not intuitive.

Keep working on it. Just make sure you post, someone will fix it for you until you do figure it out.

Great choice, Wedgie!!!

I think the others have covered the important things...Welcome Center, posting roll, exercise, nailing your wife, water...that about covers it. But I have some more.

Quitting forever is really hard. The good news is that nobody is asking you to do that. All we ask you to do is quit for today (post roll) and fight to keep your word. Anybody can go one day, right? Don't think about tomorrow, next week or next year...we'll deal with them when they get here. Just focus on today...right now.

Get angry at tobacco. Get angry at anyone who sells a product designed to seperate you from your family. Read the Kern Family Story (Killthecan.org link at top).

You take the first step, and we've got your back the rest of the way. Just post roll and keep your word. It is that easy, brother!

I've been wanting to quit for so long. Cope long cut, started when I was in college and now I'm 33. Wish I would have never tried it in the first place. It is now 2:38pm for me. My last dip was in the car on the way back to the office about an hour and a half ago. I would have had another one or two by now but I ran out. My wife came up to me (she works with me, family business) and told me that I had spent $98 in tobacco in the last two to three weeks. We recently moved to Florida from Georgia. Cope was $3.60 a can back there. Here it's over $5.50.

It was at that moment, about 2pm, that I decided I was going to do something about quitting. I googled on how to quit dip, found this site. I read and wondered if I could do it. I've tried multiple times in the past to no avail. Smokey Mountain worked for a couple of days, but in the end, I gave up. So I ordered some Hooch, after reading the reviews on here. Figured I'd read more when I got home, after I stopped and bought another couple of cans. And I'd buy another couple of cans after that to until the Hooch came in.

But then I came across a couple of intro threads where some people had said they were "going" to quit instead of "quitting". And I read some of the older members posts about giving in instead of starting NOW. Just reading that, I started to nic. My head started to spin. But I've made my decision. I'm done. If I don't do it now, I never will. Another excuse will come up. Even while I'm typing this, I'm reaching for a can, one that isn't even there. Done it 4 or 5 times now. Typing and working in front of the PC, one of my triggers. Driving, another trigger. Video games, both Xbox and PC, another trigger. After eating, another trigger. I go through, excuse me, used to go through 2 cans a day. I think there was about 2 hours out of 18 or so that I was awake where I would have a clean mouth.

Wow, it's only been 2 hours, and i'm already showing craving signs. This is going to be the hardest thing I think I have done in my life. I'm ready to tackle it though. I have always had an addictive personality, no will power. I need to do this not only for my health and my checkbook, but to show myself that I can actually do something that requires some nuts and intestinal fortitude.

I always wondered what support groups do for alcoholics at AA. I've seen TV ads for support groups for smokers. But after reading a few threads, I finally see what the value. Thank you in advance to all who are gonna help me through this.

Sweet bro! I'm with you on a the cravings, but I'm good I stuck a peppermint breath mint in my mouth instead! Now I have minty breath instead of DIP breath!

Hope I did it right. Sure I'll get yelled at if I didn't.

No worries! We've all fucked up roll, some more than others.

You worry about getting through TODAY.

One day at a time!

This is the best decision you've made Bro.

Miles - Celebrating 400 days of freedom today!

wedgie You can quit and the help is here to do it! I'm on day 10 and I can tell you if you read all you can here there is help. Come here to vent and rant and rave were all abunch of fricking addicts and know what you are going through. Watch those CRAVES dont let them cause you to CAVE be prepared know how you are going to handle them when they come. Beware! Dont look any further ahead than today, that is all you have to worry about. Looking further than that becomes overwhelming when the craves and rages come.

[SWJ]

Thank you in advance to all who are gonna help me through this.

Count me in as one of those guys, bro.

We've all been where you are now, some of us more often than others.

I'm quit with you today, my friend. Feel that.

And my number is now in your PM for you to use if you need to.

Congratulations on your decision.

Make it stick.
