Brothers and Sisters,

I tried my first quit with July and failed. It was me that failed not "we" that failed. I appreciate the support I've already received and look forward to more. Tomorrow (may 14th) will be my official quit date. I look forward to joining y'all on this difficult but fulfilling journey. I will not let August down like I did July - I have figured out my triggers and now know how to avoid them, but will still need your help.

Thanks in advance.

Is this a new intro or a first or what? Seems to me some remedial training will need to be done here. Yes, I'm busting your balls, not because you caved but for your lack of inspiration. show us some quit, not some excuses.
You "tried" your first quit with July? WTF? This isn't a sampler tray bro. If it isn't to your liking you don't just give up and come back to a different month and "try" it out. This isn't an experiment... It's life and death. Don't be owned by that evil shit anymore. Own. Your. Quit.

Yes... It's not fun but it's the price of freedom and its worth it.

2 things...
1) stick to the original intro you started. You don't get 2
2) you have 3 questions to answer... What happened? Why did it happen? What are you going to do differently this time. Do NOT give us cheezy answers... Dig deep... Be real.
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

That's weak.

Be real. You are still in love with the nic bitch.

You've been here, you know how this works. When you are ready to be serious, post roll and drink every damn drop of the koolaide.
I was a ninja dipper, but I will have a berserker quit - Here's some encouragement

NEVER Ring the Bell! Watch this. It will change your life.

When a crave hits watch this.

"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be Kind Always."

?Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good. ? ~ Vince Lombardi

"We all have our own demons that we face on a day to day basis. Some we can talk to others about. Some that we have to work through on our own. ...the nic bitch continues to knock on the doors my friends. Stay strong, stay vigilant." - Fireheeler; 6/11/14 in AUG14

Never cured, but quitting like this

What cost is too high?

Welcome little dude! You are going to love the taste of freedom. Just embrace that thought for just today and then repeat it again tomorrow. I'm excited for you. Shoot me a PM if you ever need anything.

I had my first chew about 16 years ago. They were handing out free cans at an event so I grabbed one to check it out. It didn't do much for me at the time so I moved on to other things.

10 years ago I came back to the can when a buddy gave me a dip on a fishing trip. For quite awhile I was able to only dip when fishing, but soon the addiction would have me.

For the past five years I've been steadily increasing in frequency and finally decided enough is enough. I tried to rationalize that I didn't have a problem for a long time, but now the first thing I crave when I wake up is the first dip. I've always been a ninja dipper around most friends and family and even when my wife occasionally catches me she doesn't get upset. What I've started to realize is that no one is going to make me quit except myself. I'm expecting my first child in June and can't imagine not being there for my wife and child because of such a selfish habit.

I'm so glad to have found this site and start my journey to freedom.

Cheers,
LL
Congrats on making this decision...you have come to the right place as its saved many folks just like you. We are all addicts here and that is a realization that can save your life. You will always be an addict but you don't have to feed that addiction. So you need to post roll...that is your promise that you won't use ANY form of nicotine TODAY. Today is the most important. Worry about tomorrow when it comes.
Congrats on becoming a quitter. Here we quit for life, but we do it one day at a time because it is manageable and it keeps it simple. Follow the program and you will succeed. I quit with you today.
Excellent choice man. We all made the same one. Like Grizz said, stick with the program. Post roll every damn day, get to know the folks in your quit group and read, read, read everything on here.
