DAY 25

-Drank my first beer (since quitting the nic bitch) last night....slowly it seems like everything is starting to taste better without dip....but I kept it at one beer because I didn't want to put my quit in harms way...

It's the little victories that really help bolster the quit!

Thanks for all of the support everyone!

QLF today!!!!!

So now that I have been around for awhile (today is day 23) and gotten the hang of things, I have realized that my "Intro" didn't really tell anyone shit about me...so here goes:

1. I am 36 years old and dipped Copenhagen from age 15 until 23 days ago.
2. I had to quit so that I could not be a slave to the bitch anymore; sick of worrying about every mouth sore being cancer; and done being a selfish prick who would rather risk getting cancer by dipping than quitting and leading a healthy life with my wife and kids.
3. My wife manages to put up with me somehow...although recently I have been accused of acting like a douche...although my quit has been STRONG, my mood has been shifty and about as nice as a menstruating wolverine.
4. I do electrical engineering/machine automation work and have never loved my career more than I do now.
5. I spent 5 years in the Navy on submarines as a Radioman.


I want to thank everyone on here: some for direct support, some for inspiration, some for allowing me to babble in chat when I am feeling weak...

I have a really flexible schedule so am usually around on computer or cell...if anyone needs anything feel free to PM me for my #....text/call anytime...

KEEP THE QUIT STRONG!! Post some love in Dec '12 for us!!

Thanks for all of the back up! KTC is the shit!!!

Does anyone know the requirements for uploading a pic (or avatar). I tried a couple of pics (.jpeg); but it wouldn't let me. I kept getting a file type error.

BTW - Day 9 and going strong!!!

Thanks

Post Roll early in the a.m. mfkuss. The earlier the better for your QUIT!!! Make it your priority cause your LIFE depends on your QUIT.
I Quit with YOU today.....
let's do this....ONE day at a Time and the dumbass dipper becomes a smartass quitter!!! Cheers.

MF read what everyone has said. Start getting contact #'s, it will become necessary to have someone to contact when you crave like hell and are ready to tap out! Posting roll is sacred, it is a promise we take damn serious! Once you've posted roll there is no way you can cave!! That is why posting should be your #1 priority and done first thing in the morning before peeing if your young enough! Lol (I'm not young) sometimes I post when I wake for the late night pee. Pm me if I can help.

I will have to read through how to do the "roll" and get posted....I have been pretty busy with work, but will try to get on it this weekend....

Still haven't had a chew....tonight at 10pm will be 72 hours.... 'bang head'

I sure hope it gets easier....sunflower seeds seem to help pass the time, but the salt is killing my cheeks....

Thanks for the support!!!!!

Hey, just wanted to let you all know that reading your posts is inspiring!  I am going on  about 18 hours since tossing my last can in the garbage....this sucks....but I know I need to do it!  Just been "floating" through the day at work....
Hey MFK - how about reading "WELCOME CENTER" in the top L corner and getting your ass posted in December???? There is some tremendous stuff on this site, and there are literally hundreds of quitters that will drop everything to help you. But, you need to learn about roll, and if you are serious, put your promise in December.
I guess he finally didn't do it.

Floating is what we call "the fog". That will pass.

To start with, you'll have more bad days than good. After about 2 weeks (different for different people, but that's a healthy average), those good and bad days will even out. After 3 weeks to a month, you'll have more good than bad. Again, this is all dependent on the person. Drink a ton of water, and then drink some more. Pure cranberry juice (call around to find it) helps a bunch. Exercise when craves hit hard. Slam out as many push ups as you can. Do wall squats. Go for a run or a jog.

Stay close to the site. You can win your battle each day. The war never ends, but the battles can be won. You have to gut it out, look your addiction in the eye and laugh, and then revel in your victory. Refuse to fail.
