Hello all. I just wanted to drop a note saying that I am still quit! I am a month quit and have been trying to be an encouragement to others who are thinking about quitting! You guys rock! Thanks for the support.
Why are you not posting roll?

You think a month quit is good? It's not...

I am 239 Days quit and that is nowhere near enough. A lifetime of quit is not quite enough. I don't think you know what this site is about because you are insulting all of us right now by not jumping on the band wagon and getting quit the way we all did.

Post roll, today and every day.

Thank you all for your support. After making so many attempts to quit before I must say now that my wife knows and I have laid it all out so to speak this is the easiest time I have had quitting. There is a little trust work between my wife and I now, but after dreading telling her or the fear of her finding out I am doing so much better emotionally now. It's one of the hardest decisions I have made in a long time to tell my wife. She said once I told her she could see the weight lift off me. Then she was in shock for that day. Then the next day (while I was away on work) reality set in with her and she realized. She is the one who found me this site and all of you!
Thanks.
There will always be work between us and our loved one's, but I for one am glad you are here and my quit just got stronger...Thank You!

Congrats on your post.

I am a ninja as well. I finally told my marathoning friends that I am a dipper that quit. Well, I have run about 40 marathons and half way decent so when they found out I dipped, lets say they were floored. Funny thing is, I have met a lot of ninja dippers here and a lot of endurance athlete ninja dippers here. Crazy. Anyway, I get it. PM me if you need a number. Glad you are here!

I have been chewing for about 2-3 years now. Not that long as far as some go but still as addicted. I made numerous attempts to stop and all ended up going right back to the can. I have also hid this from many friends and also my wife. While at a church camp with about 1600 men they were talking about unconfessed sin. That's when it hit me the hardest. I have been lying to my wife for the entire time. I though every time I tried to quit "if I quit I don't have to tell her" It was ruining my marriage. I would stop at the store and buy a can and if my wife asked I would say it was lunch and go without eating that day. I would never turn in receipts because I may give her one for chew. I felt so bad I just wouldn't tell her at all about the money I spent and it just got worse and worse. Finally at that camp I realized with the help of a man there that I need to let her know. I stopped that day and put the can in the house and told her a week later. Now I make sure I show debits and receipts. Her knowing has been the biggest help in allowing me to stop!
Thanks everyone for your support!!

I don't wanna speak for this guy, but I know someone who've I've become close to that can share a lot of experiences with you. His handle is Luby and he is in the October group. He'll be busy today but tomorrow maybe he'll hit you up on a pm or something. I am glad you are here and if you need anything PM me or any of the other quit brothers. Again, Lube's story sounds a lot like yours.
Hey that is me....
J, no worries on using me as an example, if that helps someone else, putting it all on here sure helped me.
Mike you've already made the step that took me a month, and some former ninjas still haven't pulled off. You told your wife. That was tough for me, but now that I am honest to her about my addiction and my daily quit, life is much better.
PM me if there is anything I can do to help, and I will quit with you today.

Mike,

Good choice. I think coming clean is the way to go for the Ninja dipper. Off site support is crucial.

Now,

Post roll every day

educate yourself

and make an anti-cave plan


You got this--you are through with nicotine!
