Day 1 Quit - Breaking the chains

[traumagnet]

Hey Fellas.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life not dancing with Mr. Dip.

I'm 44, and I've been dipping for 20+ years. Skoal WG LC. A tin a day. I started out smoking and moved to the dip. I am so tired of being a slave to Nic.

I'm married with 3 young children. I consider myself lucky that my kids haven't figured out why I am always "spitting". I don't want them using "daddy did it" as part of their rationalization for trying out a nicotine product when they get older. And we all know they will be offered/tempted at some point. It'll hopefully be a tougher leap for them to make.

Quitting is easy ..... I've done it a hundred times!!!!

But this time it is different. I feel it. I finally realized, with the help of my wife, that I cannot do it alone. It never works!!! I've never reached out to anyone before.
I have quit before for 6 months, 2 years, etc. My biggest failure is when I get cocky and think I can handle a pinch from a buddy. When that happens, it's all over. I'm back to dipping within a month. I'm hoping with a support group behind me, I won't fall for that trap again.

I've got the heavy fog coming back. It's funny after eating my sandwich I felt pretty good, then about 15 mins. later the fog came back. These first few days can be brutal! But I promise to succeed.

Thank you all in advance for your support.

Later,

Wiks,
Welcome to KTC well thats get some things cleared right up. You never quit you had a stoppage.

You sir like me are an addict read the law of addiction you can not just have one ever again. The only difference between us and crack whores is the legality of our substances.

go to the top of the page to the left go to the welcome center. you will need to listen learn read read read this will help you start to fill up your tool bag so you can combat the NIC BITCH when she comes for her slave.

Post roll you are in the OCT quit group. you are not quiting for ever you are quiting for today. post roll give us your word that you will not use nicotine in any form wake up repeat.

PM me if you need help with anything

Again, welcome! It was nice to see your roll post today. If you haven't done so yet take the time to read the welcome center - the pink link in the upper left corner of the headder. That should give you the basics. See you at roll in the morning.
