WT you are 100% right. I already feel guilty that I gave them away instead of tossing them.....
It's all good brother.
Well done on posting roll... Do it every day. Don't miss... For you and for others.
Regarding the family.. Awesome.. But. The respect you are looking for there will come up short. That's OK. Your not quiting for them but for YOU!
Let them be the benefactors of a decision you made for your self.

Get your respect that you deserve here on KTC.... We understand the suck, fog, seemingly never ending thoughts.
We have worn your shoes... Your family hasen't... That OK. And glad they haven't had too.

You will find peace building relationships with those who are willing to help you, and fight the addiction, shoulder to shoulder.
Exchange numbers, text some brothers.

I respect your decision to quit. Now follow through with the process to get it done... EDD ODAAT.

I quit with you today.

I quit with 2 logs of grizzly at home, I gave them away to a co worker because I felt it was to expensive to wastes ( i live in MN where it cost 26 per log which was a deal).
I guess that is the difference between a new quitter and a addict that is a little bit further along the path of freedom. I'm Not being critical Walleye just want to point out the difference in the thought process.

"To expensive to waste"
not using is considered wasting? After 3 years now I consider using the poison is the true waste.

"26 per log which was a deal"
nothing can make nicotine a deal!

Don't worry my friend your thought process will change as your days being quit accumulate.
Wt is right man. Just keep quitting and in time you will grow a true hatred for Nicotine and Big Tobacco in general. Then you will wish you had opened all 10 of those tins and pissed all over them.
Remember what wt said in about 3 weeks. I would like to here the new you version! I'll quit with you today but I need you to post roll my friend! ODAAT! EDD!
Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

I want to start off by thanking you all for your support, It really means the world to hear it from others who have been there!! Today was well tough to say the least. I found myself with dip fog most of the day and I had to work which made it worse.. My work is one of my triggers but i made it just fine. I was going to quit cold turkey but it picked up some smokey mountain which helps with my oral fixation. Man did that help it is great tasting and long lasting! I quit with 2 logs of grizzly at home, I gave them away to a co worker because I felt it was to expensive to wastes ( i live in MN where it cost 26 per log which was a deal). I am happy to report that I am receiving great support from family and friends. Right know I got a smoky in and I know I am going to do fine because I have such a wonderful group to help me!! First thing tomorrow I will schedule a dentist appointment and move on to day two!

I wish I had the balls at age 27 to quit Dip. You are in a great place, don't take anything for granted and learn from the Vets and people in your quit group. Get very involved with this place it will keep you on the right track. Embrace the Suck over the next few days and get by 1 day, 1 hour at a time. It WILL get better.

I'll PM you my number, USE it anytime.

Glad to have you here brother

Welcome.... I suggest you bait that hook of yours with gum, seeds and some fake if you need it to help you through the next number of days. Price of admission is roll here, we post it every damn day.

I encourage you to read, read, and read some more. For me it helped to read introductions and the Hall of fame speeches, it provided forethought and post thought that really resignated with my quit. Next, exchange some numbers to build your accountability.

Lastly, buy in and take this serious. The more you give back, the more you get! Good luck , stay quit and welcome aboard

Walleye is in the house!
Welcome and great decision.
Read 1-4 in welcome center, then go to July 2015 quit group and learn to post roll.
Drink some water, and spend some energy quiting, it's more than just a decision. It's gonna suck... Until it doesn't.
I quit with you today.
I believe.....

Day one of many
« on: April 13, 2015, 05:27:00 PM »
I am just past the 24 hour mark since I decided to quit after 10 years of dipping. I started in high school and knew then and have always known I should quit. Time went on and I kept saying that I quit someday but it was never the right time. It is amazing how I just kept kicking the can down the road if you will. Yesterday I looked at my gums and tongue and was mortified what this stuff is doing to my body, not that I had not looked before but it just hit me yesterday. I told myself enough is enough I am 27 years old and It is time to quit this stuff your not a kid anymore.

I know that this is going to be day one of many. I know that I can stay strong and beat this thing!
