Grizzly I am most definitely a man of my word. I posted roll again and plan on staying quit for good. Yesterday was a tough day 3 at work. People thought it would be fun to screw with me. Pulling their dip out and putting it in in front of me then asking if I wanted some. Telling me quitters are b itches and nobody likes quitters. I just want you all to know that yes that was hard as hell to resist but I did because I am a man of my word and when I post roll I intend to keep my promise and not trample all over the ideals that this site was founded on!!
What kind of douchebags do you work with? Fuck them, and QLF today brother.

Soon, you will understand a couple of things differently. The first will be that "other people's dip" during times you most used the nic bitch will be the least difficult times. Your guard will be up. You will prepare your mind for those moments. You will have built a mindset for those times. The co-workers or friends that have been talking shit about your quit are what I call "haters". Misery needs company. They too sit home at night when no one is around to hear their quit jokes and hope that someday they will have the balls that you have. Dont even fuckin listen to the "you cant quit" bullshit. Believe me I dipped a can and about 5-8 cigs a day and I am quit. There are others on here that used 2-3 cans a day and they are quit. No excuses. Quit like fuck. Have a good day. Out.

You will not fail as long as you are a man of your word. Are you a man of your word? Give it to us every damn morning, one day at a time.

Bigton, I second the motion about not dieting during your quit, make your quit #1 for the next few months. Just some friendly advice brother, let's see you on roll!

Thanks guys you are absolutely right. I am talking like I expect failure and I don't. I will as the saying goes "nut up". Yet I will also continue to pray because I love my god and I know he directed me to this site so I can have a support system. I look forward to continuing to be quit with all of you and I will continue to post role call and honor that pledge.

Welcome. Wow, you're the first person I've ever met with a high stress job. What's that like? Look, Sally, your fate is in your hands. Do this or don't. Don't tell me about hope, trying, and praying. That's horseshit.

YOU read everything here starting in the welcome center. Then YOU get to the September 2014 group and add your name to roll every day. Then YOU honor your word all day. It's quite simple, but it comes down to YOU and if [b[]YOU[/b] really want this more than anything else.

Exactly.......

Ultimately it is on you.....but we will definitely help.

Welcome.

Post up and quit

Hey everyone. My name is Dave I am 27 turning 28 at the end of the month. I've been dipping since I was 12 so almost 16 years. I was about a can a day. I decided that I wanted to be around a little longer in life so I quit cold turkey 2 days ago. I am also on a recently started diet so I am really struggling but I haven't slipped yet. I'm using chewing gum to try and subside the cravings especially after I eat and when I drink alcohol. I am gonna give it my all and pray I don't slip. I work in a machine shop as a supervisor and deal with high stress and everyone around me dips so this is gonna be hard. I've tried to quit a few times and failed.
Dave good luck. Quitting dipping is a real challenge but one you can accomplish. Especially here where it's one day at a time. Although I totally encourage a healthy lifestyle. I would caution about a strict diet and quitting dipping at the same tiome. Give yourself 100 days to get you dip quit under cvontrol then hit the diet. You can always use exercise right from the start of your quit. But I worry that falling off a diet can lead to falling off your quit. Might be just me.

Thanks AppleJack I am definitely giving it my all and I know this site will help me to keep at it.
Glad to have you BT. Quitting is hard, but you're already almost thru the worst of it. After 72 hours, the nic is out of your system and then it's head games from there on out. Remember the suck. You never want to go thru it again and the only way to do that is stay quit today. Wake up and repeat. You can might hope WILL do this.

Listen to all the vets posting here. Soak up every bit you can, they speaketh the truth. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Bad ass man. That's the way. Decide... and DO! Find your new quit family in Sept '14... post roll with them everyday... it's your promise to be clean... just for today. Tomorrow we'll repeat the process.

Couple tips... lay off the booze for awhile. It's the biggest quit killer out there by far. Also... own it. Don't hope... don't try... don't approach this quit with anythng less than 100% resolve. You HAVE quit... you ARE done.

Welcome in...
