I gotta ask, I read that people have got some numbers, what does that mean?  Is that so you can post roll when you are unable to get on the computer?
Ive only been here 2 days but from what I gather the numbers are for roll and they also are used as a helpline. If you are having a rough day and the nic bitch is screaming in your ear you can call or text a fellow brother or sister and they can help you stay on your quit. Thats whats so special about this place you got complete strangers looking out for one anothers quit. Congradulations on starting Quit and welcome to JUNE2011 im quitting with you.
Thank brother, I took the time that I normally would have used to relax and enjoy a dip to do work around the house. The numbers seem like a good system to keep to commitment. I gotta tell you, as I was working around the house I thought about the level of rationalizing that I have done it order to sneak away and have a dip. I would drive through a blizzard to get a tin, mow the lawn three times just to have another pinch. Hell I would even use working around the house to throw in a dip - this time I just got done what I had to do. I wish you the best in your quit and lets get to June together.

Well played sir, you are 100% correct - just gotta get through this day.
Thats all we ask. Just quit today. Come back tomorrow and quit again.

Post your promise, keep your word, repeat....
It seems that the weekend was easier for me, I was around my family and most importantly my little girl. Any craving could be faced with a smile or a laugh. Sitting at work or commuting this morning was a challenge. I made it through most of the day and more importantly the ride in. Just get me home and that little girl can keep the streak alive.

Good to be around you guys.
you gotta do it for you brother, she wins by default , but for this to work you have to want it for you first.
You are 100% correct, that is what I have been missing all of the times that I have tried to quit. I was never ready, I always did it for the wrong reason. This time it is for me. The tough part about quitting is that you are taught that it is a bad thing no matter the capacity, you never really learn how to quit. Sure you can learn had to win and lose, just never quit. I am committed and refuse to let this get the best of me. Today has been rough, but I learned today to that I need to quit today, and then again tomorrow.

If you ever find yourself doubting your commitment, go back and read the Jenny and Tom Kern story on the main page. It will remind you how selfish a habit it really is.

Better to be a bag of assholes than miss your little girls wedding day because of a selfish habit

Welcome aboard, get educated and get tough, your already past the worst part. Instead of a week why not take it one day at a time? You can stay quit for a day can't you?

Very glad that I found this site, and can surround myself with people that are going through what I am. I have chewed for 15 years, which seems is a short time to some guys out there. I associate dipping with everything, driving, lawn work, work in general. A year ago, the best thing that ever has happened to me came into this world - my daughter. I promised I would quit when my wife found out that she was pregnant, then again when my daughter was born. Enough is enough, I just cant do it anymore. The thought of my daughter growing up without a dad or with a dad without teeth of a jaw is enough for me. My last dip was 3/4/11 coming into the fourth day and feeling like a bag of a$$holes. Glad I could find you guys, one goal at a time - focused on a week dip free.
