That's right...I've. Been here before. I know I'm in for a shit storm leading with that, but we are not here to lie....or hide. I joined a quit group.....about 6 years ago.... hit my hundred day....went a year...hell I was even in charge of the sheet!!!! So what happened besides my letting my group down? I quit and joined because a good friend was doing the same. I always wanted to quit so I figuered why not....perhaps with this support group I could do it. I posted roll religiously, but never exchanged digits ( my biggest mistake). Anyway my buddy who was in the quite group a month ahead of me had a chew....put in a fatty during our poker games. Did I scream and flip over the table have his back? Nope! I rolled over and said fuck it! I felt bad the next day as my normal wake up and post roll routine was disturbed..... so I disappiered. I started laying the ground work for quitting again by switching to skoal extra pouches.... and I was able to cut down to about 2 cans a week.....of course my chews were 3 hours long...so who a I trying to kid. Anyway....I play hockey and just took a nasty hit to the face....went to the dentist....he is trying to save the tooth, but my face has swelled up and I have not had a chew in 4 days.....now is the time!!! What is different? This time I am here for myself and my kids....not because a poker buddy said "come on and join with me bud!" I will get digits!!!! I will be held accountable....no slipping away into the night ashamed...that's not an option. I don't know if anyone on here remembers me....I don't remember my login....I don't remember my month....I am glad I remembered about this site! I am truly sorry to all my quite brothers ( and sisters too) for letting you all down....for letting myself and my wife down too, but the best way to make this up to all of you is to post roll everyday and beat this thing. I've been dipping for 24 years too long...I promise to quite with May.
Since no one else has called you out, I will. If you were here 6 years ago and posted for 100+ days you need to go back and use that account (if you don't know it go back to the quick groups and figure it out, if you need help contact an admin and they can help you out.) We do not use different accounts on this site.

Now that all of that is said, Make sure to post in both your old group and your new one (with your old account) what you have stated above.

If you are truly serious about it this time, send me a PM with your digits (from your old account) and we can take it from there.
On it....brought this shit on myself.... I'm going to go through the groops and hopefully I'll see my old name somewhere and it will ring a bell....hopefully.

I have been Quit for several years and I still wake up every morning and quit one day at a time.  I figure if it worked yesterday, it will work today.  Never ever get complacent in your quit!

Well just read my rant....and I said absolutly nouthing about myself other then how weak I have been...Here is the rest of the story....
I turn 43 on the 19th and have been chewing on and off ( mostly on) since I was 20. I am married and have two wonderful kids...I am a teacher so not chewing at work has never been a problem....I chew at night when everyone is in bed....or on my way some where in the car. My kids recently found out I chew and I was furious at my wife for telling them what it was....should have been furious with my self for bring that poison in my house in the first place.... anyway I am excited to meet you guys and exchage numbers..... I have posted roll for today and plan on getting up early and posting tomorrow...thanks for listening to my rant....
Glad that you made it back. Your kids found out that you are a nicotine addict so maybe you should find a way to involve them in your quit? ;)

Mcasa,
Congratulations on making your decision to quit. You can do this, bro. It may be even more challenging for you, since you are a less frequent user, so you must remain vigilant.

Hi everyone,

A buddy of mine is in the May 2012 HOF group. He asked me to join up last month, but I was still in my hockey season which would make quitting really hard (Fatty on the way to the game was a must). So today I sat down and filled out my username and password...which gave me pause. For as long as I can remember my screen names have always been dipper or dipguy followed by my jersey number....14 or 8...not really knowing what to do I filled in my real name.

I cut back as much as I could in preparation for this...actually started to tell my self "I am down to a can a week...I can be a social dipper...I don't need to quit." Then I remember I have been down that road before. Anyway I am glad he talked me into getting on here, and I am glad to be in your group!

The hardest part for me right now is wrapping my head around "forever"...about 2 years ago I quite cold turkey for 6 months, but I knew deep down I was not done forever. This time it is different. Trying not to think too far ahead, but I can't wait for day 4 when I will have no Nic in my body for the first time in 21 years.

Being a teacher I can go all day and into the night with out a chew, it seems teaching math to 3rd grade with a fatty in is frowned upon (who knew?).... No dip today and right now I am fine, but at 9 pm...when the kids are in bed..that's when I will hear the call...So from now on it's one night at at time....then one day at a time.
Congratulations, and welcome!
You will find that your situation is all to familiar on here!

I quit with you today...!
