On a site like this I think you should be a cynical SOB. I have read some of the ass rapings you guys have dished out and I completely agree with the ones I saw. Being here is a promise to everyone else here, and it is a promise I will keep.

Tomorrow I will post day one. There is nothing I can say to make you not be skeptical. All I can do is show you. I do have what it takes.

I agree about the "ifs" in my message. That was a poor choice of words, and was not the right words to voice my intent.

I will not dip again. That is all I can say. Talk is cheap, though. Let me show you I have what it takes.
Dig it. Actions definitely speak louder than words and your actions can only speak one day at a time. Your words convey a strong attitude. But that could just be bullshit.

Keep sharing though. Get involved with the site. Sharing your experiences will not only benefit your own quit, but it will benefit those going through similar situations. The more people that I see remaining quit equals more strength fueling my own quit.

It's all about me in the end.

506 bitches....

There are no ifs or tries or fails, either your pregnant or your not . We are all here to quit. Eliminate the words (Try-Think, Maybe, If, Possibly), the is only do from this point forward.

You got what it takes, get involved and stick with it.

Besides, I hear an ass raping by smokey is something you don't want.

Congrats on the choice and welcome to the site!

DQ.....listen to these guys. Like Smokeyg told you, "if", "try", "I hope", and "maybe" doesn't get this shit done. You've gotta "DO", and that's the bottom line.

Posting roll EVERY DAY is sacred here. Get a few phone numbers from guys here. If you can't post roll, text a quit brother to post for you. But no matter what, make that promise to your group every day.

Post your day 1 today, and hold on to your ass, the first 3-4 days are gonna suck. But you are a "DO'er", right? Good! Then get this done DQ.

Welcome aboard!

will do jaydisco.  I read that link earlier tonight.  I've been thinking about my plan.  I've kind of gotten in a funk lately with my diet and workout and it is really pissing me off.  On top of being ready to kill the can, i really want to get back to the gym.  I love exercise, and i cant really think of anything else better to curb wanting a dip than hitting the gym more like i need and want to do anyway.  I'm just gonn have to make time for it, and not make excuses.  I'm probably gonna go pick up a can of smokey mountain from walmart to get by the next day or so, but I may order some of that hooch stuff for the future.  Im not too big on seeds.  those things rip the shit out of my mouth and i dont really want all that salt. 

I am gonna use this forum a lot.  I do not have TV so i am on the internet all the time anyway.

I work late nights so shit/show/shave for me isnt until around noon, but ill be posting roll everyday.
Good morning, DQ, and welcome. A few thoughts I want to add...

First, good that you want to get your health and physique back, a lot of us have put the two together here, quitting and training. I had gotten really skinny before I quit, and have put on about 15 quality pounds in a little over a month. Some of the people who have been examples for me are Ironman and Maddipper.

Second, b0yer said "post roll every day you can". I think that's bullshit and I've told him so. Jay had it right. It's POST EVERY DAY.

You're in the eye of the storm for the next few weeks, but you'll be an addict forever, you just won't be using. So keep your head down and your game face on and hang tough. No excuses.

Make sure you read this: http://killthecan.org/yourquit/what.asp

and have a plan. If you know what to expect, and you devise some way to overcome the inevitable cravings then you are well on your way.

Next, post roll everyday...get to know some of your quit brothers and STAY ACCOUNTABLE.

Roll is a before you shit/shower/shave in the morning ritual. It is your promise to yourself and your quit brothers that no matter what else happens that day, you will keep that dog shit out of your face.

As far as my plan? I stocked up on gum and sunflower seeds and told everyone around me what I was doing. Craves can be intense, but most pass within a short time...especially as you get more days under your belt...just have something to re-direct your attention until the crave passes.

See you on the boards!
Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. -

Hey Jason, glad to see you are making a choice to better your life. It is going to be hard, but it will get better. Everyone here has had to go through what you have, so they can relate to you. I am only on day 35 and I feel great. I was like you though, thought about dip all the time during the first part of my quit. It goes away. If you ever need anything or anyone to talk to hop in the live chat. The people at this site are great. Just make sure you post roll everyday you can!


Best of luck,
Matt

Day 0: introduction from a newbie
« on: October 06, 2009, 08:48:00 PM »
hello all. I'm Jason. I'm 27 and as of today I have dipped for the past 11 years. I have never tried to quit before. I did kind of quit once when i got a cold, but that ended after 2 weeks when i met a friend at a bar and another one of his buddies were there dipping while drinking a cold bud light watching the Bama-LSU game last year....that was the most tempted i have ever been for anything in my entire life.

I am tired of it. I am tired of feeling like I have to dip. I am tired of seeing how my friends who i used to dip with have dropped the habit and moved on with their lives while i am still doing it after all of these years. I hate feeling like i am being controlled by something that has no business being in control over me. It makes me feel weak, and that has to stop.

I just cleaned my house, and i couldnt even count the dip bottles i had here. I took them, and my cans and threw them away in the trash. I am going to be dip free.

I know everyone here has been where i am now, but god dam this is going to be hard. Im gonna need some kind of hobby or something to get me through this. Everything i do reminds me of dip. working on my truck, being at work, studying for school, eating, driving, fishing, everything. Its gonna be hard but i can do it.

So, tomorrow I will go to the January 2010 quit group and post day one of roll call. If i can get the shit out of my system, I can do it. I have been through it once before, and i know what it is like. The only thing missing last time was a support group just like this site. If I had support back then, I am sure I would never had taken that dip that got me hooked again. I look forward to meeting a lot of you. What I have read so far has been very inspiring.
