This might be the wrong place for this thread, so let me know and Ill do better next time.

1. Seven days is easier than I remember and I think it's because I dont have a little voice telling me to give in. At day 5 I realized that hanging tough is easier when posting and reading

2. Reviewing names and faces I was struck by how many Yankees are here. New York and New Jersey and Penn and on and on. As a West Texican/Okie I guess I thought dipping was much more of a regional thing, didnt think it was even sold up north.
Now, when I say Yankee I mean no unusual disrespect, it's just a term we use so simmer down. That said, ergo I now find Yankees much less faggy (kidding!).

3. My sleep patterns are screwed up so I was on Netflix watching a show called "Lillyhammer". Takes place in Norway. Anyway this one Norwad who I think is supposed to be a country bumpkin rube pulls out a can and proceeds to load up a fat, luscious dip. So, I guess dipping is a Skandi thing? Copenhagen, Skoal, huh? I never put that together for some reason. Live and learn. Thanks Scandinavia for the umlauts, crappy furniture, calendar girls and...oh, yeah, deadly addictive oral poison. However can we ever repay you?

4. Tomorrow is day 8 for me. I have a long car ride to pick up Stand Jr from summer camp. So please send me some of your good, good monkey mojo quit voodoo vibes. Ill need it.

The only thing worse than ninja dipping? Fake ninja dipping.

This is my quit. There are many like it, but this one is mine....

Quit on, Bros

I think there is most definitely protocol around here cause i've taken some shit for posting shit in weird places.. but i don't mind where you post!

Dipping is lame.

I like that !! Nicely said.
OK, I dont know if this is the right thread for this or not, but Im sure folks will line up to correct me if Im wrong, but....

Although Im only on day 4, I had a weird feeling today during my morning run that I havent felt in probably 10 years: Optimism. For no good reason at all I felt really good and thankful and hopeful for the future.

I usually just feel a grim inevitability that I am on a path to either certain early death or life as a disfigured monster (but at least my next fat, luscious dip will help ease that pain, right? Right?)

Second note: To all those who have sent me messages of support, Im sorry i didnt respond yet. Ive got to familiarize myself with how to communicate on here.

Best advice for other newbs that Ive heard: Do NOT think in terms of forever or from now on. Only focus on today and tomorrow. Today and tomorrow my Quit will grow stronger, my Addiction will be projectile vomiting from my kicking it in the nuts so much.

just keep drinking the KTC cool-aid get and use numbers....prepare yourself so when the craves hit you don't loose the "R"!

I like this guy! Stand you are gonna kill it - one day at a time. You have the right attitude and did not find this site on accident. Great to add you and look forward to watching your days pile up. You have strengthened my quit today.

Stand.. This is day 14 for me.. so I know it can be done for 14 days! tomorrow morning I will get up and do the same thing that I have done for the past 14 days.. I will log on.. post roll... check it to make sure it posted.. check it again in about 10 or 15 minutes to make sure it stays posted! I will read what some of these guys have written from the night before.. I will look through my email and text msgs that these guys have sent me.. showing their support... The main thing is DO NOT FUCK with them.. they take absolutely no shit about quit  are 100% committed to their quit and your quit as well if you are.. Quitter means Winner here! I've never felt better after 14 days.. I have quit for a while myself.. and I have a 30 year habit.. Today I am free at at last.. free at last... Nicotine no longer has the power to control my every thought and action.. Holy Shit it feels good! No dip taste as good as freedom feels! Gooch

You need to drop the hammer....fuck the cunt...... lets go.....

OK, been lurking the site for about 3 days now (I'm on day three) and really got some good stuff from, so......I joined. 

Been using off and on (way mostly on) for about (cough, cough) 40 years (can that be right?)    and it is just...no .... fun anymore and hasnt been for a long time.   Twice in the last year or two I've made it to day 42.   Day 42.  I caved at day 42. Twice.   Something about the nature of forever got to me. 

I'm thinking you guys will set me straight and kick my butt when the time is right.   Maybe just that push will get me to day 50, then... who knows?  Anyway I'm gonna keep reading the other posts.  I hope this is the right place for Intros.  
Good luck, all.  God be with us.

welcome stand....

if you have not already figured out we post roll with a quit group daily here...

3 days quit puts you into this group september 12

go here to learn about posting roll and other basics welcome center

then read read everything you can....information is a powerfull weapon against the nic bitch!

next get numbers from your quit group and use them often!

Welcome Stand,
Luck has nothing to do with it. You either man up and quit or you dont. Do NOT think about about day 42 or 50, dont think about anyday but TODAY. You quit for today everyday.
