Hiya Folks

[Dagranger]

Dan I assume you are quit now....considering it's the morning and all. First thing, flush any remaining dip down the toilet. 2nd. Read what you've wrote above as often as you can. It's the cries of an addict who needs help. That is the bed you made...you are an addict, from now until the day you die....don't try to lie about it or sugar coat it, just accept it. Believe me when I tell you your addicted self is going to come up with hundreds of reasons why you should dip over the coming days, and a lot of them are going to seem logical...but in reality all those reasons are bullshit. Dip does nothing for you. Which brings us to 3rd step. Post roll here. Instructions on how to do it were provided by someone in a link above. A roll post is a promise to quit for one day. You make that promise to us everyday, and we also make the same promise to you. Seems useless right? That roll post, and the accountability it added, was the difference for the thousands of us who have used this site to quit....really and truly quit. You can do this. Good luck.

So sad to hear the lie that "I will quit tomorrow". I know it because I lived it for so many shackled years.

Dude,

You've been lurking this site since 2013. It's way past time to buckle that chin strap, cinch up them panties, throw your dip away and post day one.

Quit now dude. Don't wait until tomorrow morning. You're in the right place. Make your promise and keep it.

Soot, don't waste another second. Get your ass on roll. Keep waiting on that last dip and you might be like some of the rest of us 30-40 years later. This shits a whole lot easier with 25000 people helping! Sack up , throw the cancer away and let's get this rolling!

Hi everyone.

My name is Dan.

I started dipping in the Fall of 1990 during Army basic training (OSUT). I began with wintergreen Skoal but within six months was was dipping a can or two of Cope a day.

That habit has lasted on and off for 26 years (mostly "on", though I've made half-hearted attempts to quit in the past I've never gone more than a day or two totally nicotine free).

I've kinda been trying to quit for the past year using cigars, the patch, and/or nicotine gum as "replacement therapy", always with a well-established plan to ween myself off it according to some schedule or another.

Yeah, that's never really worked out.

After a month, a few weeks, a couple of days, I was back to Cope and would be on it for a few weeks or months before I'd make another attempt.

I hide it from everyone (dip in my top lip and swallow so nobody knows it's there), lie to my wife and kids about it, sneak it whenever I can, try to mask the smell by constantly drinking coffee - whatever it takes.

And I'm tired of it.

Tired of lying, tired of hiding it, tired of being enslaved to it, tired of the expense, tired of the health risks.

My most recent "quit" began last weekend with patches and gum.

It lasted maybe three days.

I was hiding it today and the wife caught me.

Even though we just blew another $100 on patches and gum just the other day.

Even after she put together an elaborate Excel spreadsheet outlining the weening off process, which she'd worked on for hours.

Even after having told her, the dozen times she's asked me over the past week how it was going, "Going great, sticking to the plan".

Well, "the plan" doesn't work for me.

It seems that if I have it in my system, in any amount, in any form, I have absolutely no control over the fact that sooner or later I will be going back to Cope.

So beginning tomorrow morning, from the moment I wake up, I'm going to try to kick cold turkey for the first time.

I'd appreciate any help and support y'all could provide.

My first question is, where do I go next? I know that there are quit-date based groups where I can post a "roll call", but for the life of me I can't find the one I should be in.

Thanks.

Soot!

You've made the correct choice! After 39 years of being enslaved to nic, I too found KTC and made the plunge.

Make your way to Quit Groups, then find October 2016.

Read the instructions on how to post and get started!

Also, check your pm's (messages) I, and I'm sure others will be sending you messages of welcome!
