Thanks Fellas.

Roll posted.. someone please let me know if I f'd it up.  B)

Perfect - you nailed roll call and you're already calling the whole group bitches. Seems like you've really got your shit together. The only way to really fuck it up is to touch dip again; don't do that and you'll be fine!

Hang in there, the next few days might be a hell of a ride.

Hey There Ladies and Gentlemen (and whores and rednecks and other assorted deviants)

Tomorrow will mark Day 1 for me. I've been outta my beloved and whole heartedly hated Citrus Skoal for about 5 hours... It's literally the longest I have been dip free while being awake for the last 5 or so years.

I started chewin' when I was 12... 23 years ago. Recreationally at first, I mean who plays baseball without chew?

As my career progressed from a front line paramedic to a manager, my usage increased... It was WAY easier to have a dip in all day without having to talk to many patients.

I've pretty much been a guy who wakes up, has a shower, gets ready for work and tosses a dip in on the way to work. That dip comes out when I eat breakfast... another goes in literally as soon as I am done. Basically, unless I'm eatin', sleepin' or kissin' it's there. Well...it WAS there. Even testifying in court or talking to the media, it was there.

My motivation to quit is pretty diverse. My kids now have figured out what the "dirt" that Dad stuffs in his mouth is... My 5 year old and his kindergarten buddies were talking and one of his little pals told him that his Dad would die if he didn't stop. Cost is also a factor... $22 CDN a tin... yes you read that right... 22 dollars. 3 tins a week minimum. My wife thinks it is absolutely disgusting. and I KNOW it's retarded.

BUT... most importantly, I want to quit for ME. I want to not be dependent on that little wad of shit stuffed in my lip. I want to be healthier... i want to have more money. I want my 3 kids to know that it is NOT okay to be hooked on the nic.

Thanks in advance for your support and the occasional ass kicking I know I'll get if I need it. I can do it... we all can do it. Now let's go and get it done.

'arse' to the Skoal.

Welcome my friend. Head on over to april hof and post roll and join the rest of us. I am on day 3 (almost 4!!) and couldn't have done it without the guys in our quit group. You CAN do it, I dipped almost a can a day of skoal for years. Just take it lone day at a time. Anything I can do to help just holler!

This is almost disappointing... we don't even have to talk you into quitting. It's almost like you came in here ready to quit. I didn't even hear "try" or "hope" or "luck" in your post, just a whole lot of "going to do". That's awesome.

One motivation that I didn't hear is freedom. Maybe you don't see it now, but it's a beautiful thing to not have something constantly tugging at you, calling you to take time away from your family so you can go have a chew, or dragging you to the quickie-mart late at night because you ran out.

One more thing: since you spit out your last dip five hours ago, tomorrow will be day 2. You're on day 1 right now.
