If you quit right now, you will hit the hall of fame 100 days during the Christmas season. How amazing of a Christmas present would that be? 100 days and the rest of your life free from dip and nicotine.

You need to quit right now! Do it!

Bumping this since I am in a Christmas group myself (December 15).

If you can stay quit during the holidays you can stay quit period - just do it one day at a time and make connections.   8)

When do you post support in classes other than your own? Is that something you do with classes that come after yours?

emoney

I post mostly in yours because its after mine and I feel like its easier to relate and  I don't feel out of place.

I also post in older groups but I feel weird and out of place (even more so at first). And with the first few to interact with mostly. Ideally all of the people who text me...
Feel free to post support in any group after you post roll in your home group first. No need to wait. We are all in this together. BROTHERHOOD!!!

@emoney
You can give support to any group.  To the people I text with, I always post in their group when I can.  It's never too early to also start posting in newer groups and sharing digits with a newbie to help them along.  It will help strengthen your own quit in the long run.

And that's how we do it boys. Jump in, establish a foothold, and then reach back and help the man coming up behind you. Don't break the chain; be an even stronger link every time you help another quitter out.

How’s that can treating you today? Not quite as fresh maybe a little dryer than usual? Not packing the buzz you were looking for? Gums feeling a little more sore than usual today? Do you have to go to the convenience store later to get more?

How about instead you finally cut this shit out and start feeling not good, but incredible. Get healthy with us in the November group we have some badasses in here to do it with you. You will not regret it.

We’ve got 99 problems but a dip ain’t one.

Whenever I have any ailment my first thought is cancer. Whether it’s a temporary cut in mouth or any malaise feeling that’s the first conclusion.

From what I read here this is not uncommon among dippers/ex dippers. But I don’t see this happening with smokers. Doesn’t it seem like smokers are pretty confident in their decision to smoke? I wonder why this is when the risk is just as high and some would argue much higher with smoking. Just an observation.

Confident? I would say addicted. Lol.  With that said, every drug/alcohol user, hell even daredevils,  feel confident enough to control the outcome of their fix. Until they realize it's too late. In my opinion there is no difference between dippers and smokers.

There's a guy I work with, probably 64ish years old, smoked his whole life. Quit smoking last summer for a week, because "something wasn't right" and was going to the doctor to get checked out. Came back the day after and has chain smoked ever since. Never told what the doc said, but he's had two strokes since Christmas. He's back to work and still smoking. He also coughs and hacks so much he almost passes out.

Most of my buddies, probably 90 percent of them, dip. Over the years I've been shown some pretty disgusting looking mouth sores. Things that would make a sane person never dip again. They'll quit for a week or two, get biopsies done on their gums, and when given the all clear go right back to dipping. I'm glad I never went through that shit. It also reminds me, I need to go to the dentist.

But I also think the paranoia comes when you've been quit long enough to gain some sanity, and you think "I can't  believe I did this to myself. I've probably fucked my life up good."
Addicted, stupid, or dumb works. That is the problem with addiction. You can justify the decision to destroy your body and life.

Thanks for the insights @Keith0617 and @DaddysJunk. The addictions definitely create delusions in the addict mind.

I’m strong in my quit and resolve today. But I know what can happen as the resolve erodes. I find the most dangerous warning sign is when the nic bitch starts whispering that something (you thought) made you happy can’t be that bad. When you don’t have the daily affirmation of the promise with other quitters she erodes more resolve everyday.

How have some quitters dealt with this? I feel like it wasn’t an issue when posting roll so maybe the answer is that simple. Post roll every day.

emoney

Yeah, post role.

But posting role only works because I know there are quitters on the other side waiting to call me out if I don't show up.

Be that person.
I have WUPPed 224 days so now if I’m brushing my teeth and I’m not on roll allready I feel weird like something is missing ! Posting roll is literally the first thing I do outside of drink a glass off water , that being say a day cam mid 100s where I was struggling , but I told myself “ shit o could use a dip , but I allready made my promise and the day is allready half over. I’ll just see how I feel on the morn and hope this passes! It does pass! Every time that’s how tricky the nic bitch is. Also my quit wall is so high with so many numbers and I post roll in so many different  groups if I stumble they know it! In turn there on me or I would feel incredible amounts of guilt if I let these other fine quitters down! Think that’s why I still get dip dreams from time to time . Either way yes it’s roll, but also what you put into it. Wildcard section is a good area to get your mind off dip as well

Thanks for the insight. You’re right though… it always passes. Every damn time and hours go by and you don’t even think about it. Then in the later 100s, days go by. Then weeks
