I am on day 36 of my quit, and I have to admit I feel better. However, I am going to the dentist tomorrow. It will be the first time in about 3 1/2 or 4 years. I have been putting it off, but yesterday as I was flossing, a filling came out. So, I figured now was as good a time as any to go. My gums look pretty good, I dont have any white on my tongue, and I dont have any sores in my mouth. However, I am scared to death. If someone reads this, please say a prayer for me.
Brother, that's a long time to have not gone to a dentist. At least you've been flossing that's a plus. Similar circumstances, make sure they do a cancer screening. You'll know for sure and you won't have to worry. Prayers to you bro!

GCF, have you been posting roll? If so what group? If not man you need to! If so I'm sorry if I missed it it's just so important to the method of how this site works.
I have been posting role with the September group. I quit dipping cold Turkey on June 3, but I did not find this sight till the other week and that is when I joined. If I need to go to another quit group I will.
Your right on bro. Russell didn't know you were on week three.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Gcf your in the heart of the battle now.  To me the worst of the battles was well after day 1, 2, 3. I personally had a lot of trouble with the mental rollercoaster.  What you got to know is quitting comes from deep.  Right now the repairs to your brain are screwing you up.  This is when you need to use them numbers, stick to the sight, and most of all stay the course.  Things will get better. 

There is a door you need to get to.  It's right on the other side of where you'r at right now.  That door is not easy to get to and open.   You have to push through.  Dig deep brother. 

I've heard this a lot and really like it.  It will suck until it doesn't and then it won't.  Get to the door.  I'm glad to be quit with you.
Thanks for the support. I guess I thought 28 days into it, I was home free. Just reminds me to be diligent and watch out for the little Nic demon. Thanks again!
You screwed your self for umpteen Years. 28 is just the beginning. Nafar and odaat. It gets much better. I quit with you.
srans speaks truth. Push through and quit like fuck because you are indeed close to some really great days! I know I am at day 34 and have been where you are. sranss' 'door' is real and it is there...

Say a prayer for me. I am on day 28. So far, my quit has gone pretty well. However, today I woke up at 4 a.m. I was having some weird dreams. Right now, I feel like I am back at the first 3 days. I will stay strong because I dont want to go through this ever again. God bless!
Addiction is a bitch. 4 weeks in, and it is still tearing at you. The good news is - these struggles get easier, and less frequent, with time. Right now it doesn't seem that way, though, and it is easy to think that these horrible feelings won't ever go away.

One of the vets on this site reached out to me when I was in a spot like your current one. And he finally got through to me when I was ranting about how this would never get better. He said "what has been the hardest struggle you've had?" I said day 2  3. And he said "see, it gets better."

Ill never forget that. It was all a mindset change then. None if this is easy. If it were, Phillip Morris wouldn't have all of those Gulfstream jets you and I and millions of others bought them. It gets better. And the pride you must feel after beating this, by giving us all your word and keeping it every day for 4 weeks... Man that is golden.

I sent you my contact info. Reach out if you need to. Keep with the plan, be a man of your word. 4 weeks is great. I'm proud to be on your team today.
gamecockfan, you have the right attitude, you do not want to go through the suck again. Post your daily promise and come in here for support. Check your in box, do not hesitate to call if you want to talk. 28 days is a great start, stay strong brother!

My quit is hugely different from my attempt. I am open with friends and family.
Two things about this post to keep in mind - This part is important. Embrace your quit. Wearing it like a scarlet letter. You will be proud of it.

And I'm also kind of an asshole.
Yeah.... yeah so am I. I like this part.


Glad you found us. Welcome.

Good evening everyone,
I quit 23 days ago. I have tried before, but this time I am determined to quit. I began calculating what I have spent and the stupid things I have done for a dip. I have got up in the middle of the night driving around looking for a store to buy dip. Shoot, we had a bad snow storm one time. The roads were not drivable, and the temperatures were in the teens. I walked over a mile to a gas station, and when I got there the place was closed. I have decided that with God's help I will not be controlled by a stupid substance again. God bless and good luck!
Keep everything in one intro, ok champ.

Stay quit.
