Hopefully i remember to post roll in the morning...

Huh???

Morning is not my time lol. I start work at 8, so i set my alarm for 720 and just jump up shower and all that and rush out the door.

Im so used to that routine, that i was afraid id miss role this morning. I set a not so friendly reminder to myself on my phone lol. It worked, and i made roll before my feet even hit the floor.

Pollo,
I think one thing new guys don't realize is that in quitting there is no grey areas. You are either quit...or you are not. And on this site, posting roll is the most important thing...no exceptions. So when you write "hopefully I'll remember to post roll in the morning" It sounds weak, and defeatist. My guess is it's not what you meant, and you obviously posted today. But, I know I am quit today, and I know I will post tomorrow morning. There is no hope involved. Good luck on your quit.

I had a nice long retort to post, but figured its not worth the time or energy to get pissed and explain myself again.

Tl;dr i dont care what you think i sound like.

@air force: thanks man. Im dead set on beating this shit. Ill see you all at roll tomorrow.

In the end all that matters is you post roll every day, first thing in the morning...

You and every other quitter on this site has to rearrange their morning routine... Wake, Post Roll, Shit, Shower, Shave... Every damn Day.

Thats how we win.

Hunkering down for the night. I feel a little funky lol. Caught myself looking for my can earlier before i realized i tossed it.

Hopefully i remember to post roll in the morning... Usually first thing i do is shit, shower, shave, get dressed and out the door... I dont hit the skoal till after breakfast. Ill make myself a reminder that goes off with my alarm to post roll.

Night everyone, hope tomorrow is as semi smooth as today is lol, i can handle this.

Screw it, after much thought over the past 5 minutes, my quit date is today. Just tossed the can. Im ready.

Right on. Post your day one in the November quit group, make some friends, get some digits, use Chat, drink gallons of water, and get quit.

Already done. I am ready to do this.

The ting your doing that you've never done before is; quitting nicotine. Sure you stopped for a time but we quit everyday. Post roll and join in the suck!

Where to start? Quick bio: I was born and raised in Las Vegas. Not the best place for those with low or non existent willpower. I am currently living in the midwest.

Ive been chewing, dipping, or smoking since i joined the Army when i was 18 (40 now). There was times where i was really bad... Id have a fistful of redman in AND smoke a cig at the same time. Thankfully, i have quit smoking cold turkey (been 8 years) when i realized that i was getting winded walking up a flight of stairs! That shit wasnt for me, but i was still dipping... Get rid of one bad but keep the other.

I have quit once a few years ago... Was bed ridden with the flu for days, and when i was better, i just didnt have the urge anymore. I was straight for 2 years until i caved... I was in a new job, and 90% of my co workers were dipping... My willpower wasnt as strong as i thought. Let that sink in for a moment: i was good for 2 FRIGGING YEARS and i STILL CAVED!!! A lesson for all to remain ever vigilant against the tobacco bitch.

My quit date has been set for 8-7... Tomorrow. Im down to my last 2 pouches. What caused me to want to quit was while over this past weekend (i go overboard on weekends) i was watching some tv, and just didnt feel too good. A little voice in my head said "man, you gotta stop this shit, now"... It was the same voice that told me i should stop drinking 12 years ago, and ive been clean on that front ever since. Must be important...

Im ready to quit. I look at it as a challenge, and i never back down from those. I have support with my wife (she pointed me to this site), and kids. Its awesome to meet people that have, or are going thru the stages of quitting.
