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!

  • Interests: My family - 2 amazingly brilliant and beautiful children and an equally amazing and beautiful wife. Sports - Mets and Giants for teams, golf for weekends... Bagpipes. Been playing bagpipes longer than I've been dipping. And that's a long friggin' time.

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.

The first time I found this site I had been quit for a year. Created an account, posted one (in retrospect) extremely ignorant and overconfident post, and then I never came back; my quit was solid gold. Not a worry.

I failed. My quit became a failed attempt. Shit.

I chewed for about 9 more months before returning here and posting a day 1. My quit is hugely different from my attempt. I am open with friends and family. I know I will never be cured from this addiction. I have listened to the wisdom of others and gained strength through their struggles. I am humbled by every quitter on this site.

And I'm also kind of an asshole. It keeps my quit fun.

So - get involved. Make roll post and supporting others a top priority. Lead by example. You and this entire community will be stronger for it.

glad to meet you in chat and you will not regret jumping on here. Not only will you gain the support of hundreds of people just like you that have gone through this, but if you learn the tools, you will gain a brotherhood that will last through the success.

I quit side by side with you today
