Sorry dude, you can't skate by under the radar and not be recognized for 900. That's frigging awesome. Congrats, saw it on post roll.

I have not been back to look at my intro thread in a while, so I thought I'd come here to post my Quit Plan.

My Quit Plan
February 15, 2012

1. I am an addict and I will NEVER be cured. I will not forget that.

2. I will Post Roll, Honor my word, Repeat. (daily and early)

3. Learn to recognize cravings and other quit symptoms (depression, rage, funk, etc.) by continuing to educate myself.

4. Tell all my friends and family about my addiction and my quit. I was a ninja dipper; I will not have a ninja quit.

5. Develop individual quit plans for trigger events such as: golf, hunting, fishing, out drinking a beer with the guys, etc. Plan ahead – be prepared.

6. Maintain an emergency supply of fake dip.

7. Continue to stay active on KTC; I am ACCOUNTABLE to me and YOU. Should I go missing I want someone to track my ass down.

8. Develop stronger relationships with my quit brothers so it will be easy to pick up the phone should I ever need to.

9. When I do get bad cravings and I feel like caving I will:
a. Remember My reasons for quitting
b. Remember The suck
c. Think of all the people I would be letting down, including myself
d. Call someone (IÂ’ve got a few brothers I have already spoken with)
e. Recall that I canÂ’t cave without calling Luby, Gator, Locki, and Sofgr.
I gave my word

10. Make and honor side deals with a couple of my March brothers (we promise to call before caving). I now have pacts with 4 quit brothers.

11. Pay it forward in order to help others and to strengthen my QUIT.


I know it's a little over the top complex but that's just how it is with me sometimes.

leeron -Day 80- Today I am Quit, that's a promise.

Tomorrow marks the 9 year anniversary of you being gone. I can't believe all that has happened since you have been gone, 3 of the 4 have graduated high school, 2 of the 4 graduated college, 1 had a baby, we all have jobs, we all got our licenses. I honestly never thought I would make it this far. I so wish that you could be here with me, Alexa, Connor, and Tori. Seeing all of the things we have accomlished...and everything that we still have yet to accomplish. Graduating high school, moving in at college, graduating college, having kids, buying a house, baseball games, first jobs, first girlfriends/boyfriends. I know that you are proud of each and everyone of us, but I/we need to hear it from you. We want you to be here to tell us "Nice pitch", "Congratulations on graduating", "Have I told you I loved you yet today?" (which Kenra and I try to do everyday now :)) It is sometimes just hard to get through the day. And to think...all this over a stupid dip...who would have thought?

Roll Call was the first thing I did today. Thanks for all the support.
That simple task and take you on a journey of freedom...1 day at a time. Well done.
I agree, this is not an easy thing to do but it is a simple thing to do. Wake up promise us, and more importantly promise yourself you will not use nicotine, and then keep your word. I know you can do it, because you want your freedom and wanting is all it takes to get it.
I will quit with you all day today, you have my number use it if you need it.

Well done leeron, first thing in the morning and that takes it off the table for the day. Keep close to this site and continue reading everything you can on here. One day at a time, hell one hour or one minute at a time, whatever it takes. There is NO price too high to pay to be successful. So keep on making it happen, you've got this.

This day 2 is a bitch for me. I went through my desk at work and found an old ass can and threw it in the trash. Then I took my trash out to the dumpster. Now if I want it I'll have to jump in the damn dumpster.
Great, great job. You have my number if you need it. Just shoot me a PM.

Day three will be even worse. Remember to spread the hate and discontent around this site, not at home. We know what you are going through, she doesn't.

Don't feel too bad. I did the same thing for 6 years. Hiding my habit and "losing" reciepts. At least you made a choice to end it. Post roll and repeat.

Well today I found this site and I am thankfull that I did. I quit this morning at 11AM. It took me until now, 845PM to get the balls to post my promise (kept thinking I'd go get another can to have on last fix). I've read so many of the other posts on this website and I just decided that it has to be time. I am a nicotive addict.

I'm 44 years old and started when I was 15 (could have been earlier but it all runs together). My addition started with the Original Skoal (all they had was fine cut back then) and has included red man, cigars, and most recently I've been using Longhorn Wintergreen Long Cut. Hell, I'd change brands so my wife would stop seeing the same continuous charge on my debit card every other day. Damn, I'm a freakin junkie.

I am over living a lie and letting my actions be determined for me. I'm sick of staying up late for the qualiltiy dip time, letting my relationship suffer with my wife. It's time to hold myself accountable to me and my family.

One day at a time.
You have made the right choice. Day 5 for me after 26 years of chewing. Put on your boxing gloves and kick chews ASS!
