Ah yes... The hazing ritual if the ktc website! I think we've all experienced it. Post early! Then double check a few munutes later. That post is your word. And MLB, it is clear that you are a man of your word.

Glad you joined us. This is the best decision of your life.

I actually just posted roll so not number 1 I just put it up top because I had
No idea where to put it but ill throw it on the bottom next time
Ha... you cheater! Ok, now you know how to post roll. Let's talk about when to post roll. In the list of priorities for your day -- commiting to your quit better be at the top. Worktowin was absolutely right! You need to post roll first thing and commit to your quit early. It is the most important thing you will do all day. With that said, I will let you get back to your BBQ. Quit on MLB!

good. happy grilling
I may have overlooked it, but did you post roll today? That, MLB, is much more important than the perfect piece of pork...
He did post and it was early. #2 on the Nov 13 roll call. That was the most important thing you did all day! Nice job MLB! Grill and Quit on!

Excellent - I see that you have posted roll also. Glad you are committed. Hang in there - it gets better. And good luck with the grill.

where you at? can't hack it? you think spitting a wad a shit in your fellow golfer's line makes it more enjoyable? Checked November...didn't see your name...if i just missed it i apologize...if i'm right though...you pussed out. just like a lot of newbs before you...i've wasted too much of my time trying to help guys like you and it normally turns out the same way...to big of a puss to hack it. Hope you beat the odds, but odds are your golf career will be cut short because of something you could have prevented

Golf.  That one got me.  I did avoid for awhile and the first time I went without it, I almost passed out on the 6th hole.  BUT I made it.

I was unprepared however.  I had no seeds, no fake, mo I um, etc...

I think for me golf was one of those things that it just seemed "cool" to be chomping on something.  Not sure why, because I'm an addict is an obvious reason but for some stupid reason i THOUGHT I needed dip to enjoy my round.

I avoided golf like the plague for a few months after that.  I convinced myself that I only golfed as an excuse to chew. 

One day my golf buddy called and asked if I wanted to go and for the umpteenth time I meekly said no in my woe as me tone.

My wife heard that and read me the riot act.  Called me a pussy and every other imasculating term you could think of.  My wife does not speak like this .

She demanded I call him back and go.  So I did.

I loaded up with fake and some seeds made it through the round ok.  We went the next week and it was even easier and the next week easier yet, and so on.

Eventually I realized I LOVED golf and chewing while doing is was not necessa but instead lie #3,432 the nic bitch told me.

Today I can easily golf a round with nothing, although I do still throw in mouh full of seeds once in in awhile. 

Point is be prepared.  You don't have to give up golf and you don't have to attack it the way I did either.  I was just giving you my personal experience.

If you don't think you can do it for awhile , pretty sure golf courses aren't going anywhere and WILL still be there when you ready. 

If you think "man, this Diesel guy is a real pussy" and decide to go today, just be ready as it could be tough, but you won't die.  Just be prepared.

There's my 5 cents...
Nicotine controls our brains Dopamine receptors! It makes us associate things we do with nicotine! If we have a good game of Golf while chewing then we believe that the chew made us a better golfer. When we quit we have to retrain our brains to associate things with out nicotine. Most of us have done EVERYTHING with a dip in so we have a lot of things to relearn! The good news is each time we fight through a trigger (things we associate with chew) the less powerful that trigger becomes! Like with diesel, each time he golfed his brain learned that he CAN golf with out chew. And so it became easier! You have to retrain your brain if you are triggered by golf. Do it today or do it in 3 months.... It does not matter! It will be something you will be glad to see is unnecessary! But like Diesel said, be prepared! It is not easy! But it is simple! DO NOT CHEW WHILE YOU GOLF!

P.S. I caution you to not really think Diesel is a pussy! I think he is secretively violent! :D
MLB - how are you doing? Try to keep a record here of these early days - it will help you later.

Jake is right about diesel btw. Diesel has pictures....
I'm as gentle as a pussy willow.

Where the fuck are you at mlb??? Got some pretty good advice here. Hopefully you did not whimp out and decide it might be too hard like a little pussy ass bitch.

No thanks, no update, no kiss my ass you guys are idiots???

I am going to assume you forgot how to use a computer for awhile and will remember at some point today.

We will be waiting patiently.
