Here I am...

Thanks guys...day number one wasn't that bad...I just keep busy working on stuff around the house went running as usual and helped a neighbor do some trim in his house. No beer last night but I think I'll have a couple this evening with my wife after I cut grass...Not too worried about the crave she knows whats going on and is very supportive...and believe it or not...I don't have any close freinds that dip so that make it a little more tolerable...I always think to myself, man you look really stupid doing that shit, it's not cool, you're not tough or a country boy because you dip dumbass! You're just a fuckin moron that cares more about himself then his family and freinds....

For myself, this first day was the day you feel 'high'... more or less in a fog. As you've probably read elsewhere on the site, the first three days (and nights) can be some tough days... Suffer through them though - and you'll have the addiction to nic completely under control..

From there, it is nothing more than handling the craving.. something reading and posting here daily will help you handle.

Anyhoo.... welcome, and congratulations on making the excellent decision to quit.

It is a good day to quit... a good day..

Welcome POORBOY!!

You've made a courageous, but very wise decision.

Post in your group's rollcall (November) every morning. By doing that, you're giving your word that you won't dip that day, and that you'll post the same thing the next day.

Nothing to it, right? :rolleyes:

OK. It's going to be hard sometimes, but I know you can do it!

Welp, as of today at 6:30 CST I'm quit...now for a background

I'm 37 and I've chewed for 20 years...started in 88'...shit almost half of my life. Started with Skoal and then Kodiak and now Tibmer Wolf.

To date no oral health concerns but my gums are constantly sore...dentist says everything looks good...so why quit? Can't take being held down by the dip anymore.

I'm married with two daughters. Wife loves me and is ok with dippin...probably since I've been doing it for soo long. My girls call it daddy's ickky's...cute hugh :(

My daily triggers are as follows:
1. Drive to work in the morning = 1 dip
2. Usually about 10am = 1 dip
3. Drive to a park for lunch = 1 dip
4. Drive back to the office = 1 dip
5. About 3pm = 1 dip
6. Drive home = 1 dip
7. Between 6-8pm = 1 to 2 dips depending on activities for the day ie softball either myself or my oldest daughter.
8. 9-11pm = 2 dips...got to get one in before bed.

I work in an office and this morning is going ok since I found something to occupy my time.

I'm ready for my daily battle so let's get it started.
