Don't try to quit nicotine for a job position. Been there tried that, paid the price. Quit for yourself and only yourself. PM me if you have any questions.

Look forward to seeing your progress.

21! Wow, I wish I was ready to quit nicotine at 21. Unfortunately I wasn't and I didn't really quit until I was 49 years old.

We quit here with a daily promise in our quit group - yours will be December 2016 and you have made it on the last day of entry.

Post roll here - December 2016 - every day.

You can do it, even at 21. ;)

Hey pal, glad you reached out. This is definitely the right place.

I have some good news and bad news. The good news is that you don't have to quit long term, you only have to quit for one day. You quit today, you go to sleep, you wake up tomorrow and you quit for one day again. If you think about it as "forever" you'll never make it. Forever is way too big for anyone to deal it, so just do it one day at a time. Worry about tomorrow as it comes.

The bad news is that you're going to need a better reason than for that job. You can't quit for a job, a girl, a parent, a million dollars. You have to quit for yourself; because you want freedom so badly that it's intolerable to be a slave for one more minute. You have to honestly and personally want it for yourself. That job can be the catalyst, but you're going to have to reflect on what you really want and come to the conclusion that paying a tobacco company to slowly kill you is insane.

It is possible though. There is a clear path to getting there outlined at this site. Buy in, follow the process and you will be successful. Go find the section titled "Quit Groups" then find the "December 2016 Pre-HOF Group" and figure out how to post roll. That is your promise not to use today. Make that promise first thing every single day. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it. It's the price of entry for finding support on this site, you don't get one without the other.

Let me know if I can help.
Welcome to Freedom. There are a lot of Dudes here in your line of work, quitting one day at a time (ODAAT). I quit with you. Reach out to your December group for phone numbers, you may need them, and they WILL be there for you if/ when you do . I'll be around if you need me.

Just quit Sept 3, also firefighter, 41 y/o been dipping for 25 yrs at least a can a day. Tried to quit several times in the past, but I always seem to go back. Longest quit was about a year. I'm never going back. Smokey mountain herbal snuff seems to really help me this go round. The classic is somewhat close to Copenhagen.
Almost heaven.....keep building that number and remember the sacrifices that you made to get there, never want to go back to day 0!!!!

I think this is the right place. Anyways I decided to quit dipping after being addicted since I was 13 years old. I am now 21. I mainly dipped Copenhagen Snuff. My quit day is 9/23/16
The actual reason I'm quitting is because a job I want is testing to for Nicotine to get hired.
I feel the hardest part so far was convincing myself to quit long term instead of just to pass this test. I spit a dip out on the stroke of midnight so I would have the full day of the 23rd. And poured all my snuff in the shitter. The other hard thing is the "fog" I'm a FF/paramedic, so not being on my A game is kinda a big deal, but I can overcome! Anyways anyone know of a nic free replacement snuff close to Copenhagen snuff?
Thanks
