Whats up everyone...

Just wanted to committ myself to joining this coming Monday. I would start today, but the BBF combo (beer, bbq, and fishing) coming up this weekend would be unrealistic. I'm 24 years old, and have been dipping for 2 years or so. My friends dad just got through a cancer spout.....needless to say my incentive to seek y'all out.

enjoy the weekend, and' I'll see yall monday....tuesday at the latest

How about Wednesday at the latest? Or Labor Day? Or Christmas? How about 2031? Will that work for you?

Why not quit today? It isn't unrealistic.

Really? You promise you will be here Monday or Tuesday at the latest? Well, if things get a little hairy on Tuesday, can you pinkie-promise to be here on Wednesday?

Do YOURSELF a favor - throw the shit out RIGHT NOW. Did you read what you wrote? Your friend's dad just dealt with cancer. CANCER. There is no messing around. The shit you put in your lip is death. Man up, throw it out and embrace the suck, friend. I guarantee you, there is no better minute to quit than right now. The sooner you make the commitment, the better.

Jump in with both feet and kill your addition to the can. You can do it and there are HUNDREDS of brothers and sisters here to help. Waiting until after this weekend will only increase your desire to keep putting shit in your mouth.

Wow the last hurrah

Make sure you stuff the shit out of your face with chew this weekend, make it the best BBF ever!!!!

Hey, lay off the guy. I promised to quit when I was 21, and I finally did when I was 26. Sheeeeeeesh!

HA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HAHA HA HA HA

HAHAHAHAHA - Loves it Glenn, loves it!

I especially like the ..."Tuesday at the latest.."

Ahh, Glenn, give the guy a break, the BFF's man, the BFF's.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHA
HA :ph43r: HAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHA

What about the BFF next weekend????????????

What a fucking tool.

Maybe it's a good thing he said that.

It shows all of us that there will always be triggers, always be stress in our lives, always have really bad shit happen to us.

But WE CHOOSE not to chew before anyof that.

Chewing doesn't make the beer sweeter, the girls hotter, the loved ones come back. It just make you dumb and dead.

HAHAHA...the BFF's.

I came up with an excuse every single day between the ages of 20 and 30 why today was not a good day to quit. Many people on this site came up with excuses for a much longer time. The fact that you are telling yourself "I can't quit this weekend because... I'll be with my friends" should scare the shit out of you. You KNOW that on Monday you'll be telling yourself "Mondays are stressful, I'll quit on Tuesday". Then when Tuesday rolls around you'll tell yourself "Why ruin a perfectly good week... I'll quit on the weekend." And on and on for the next ten+ years of your life.

I've been where you are and was unable to make the decision to quit. Please allow me to help you make the decision: THE TIME TO QUIT IS RIGHT NOW.

Do you think you can pencil in some time for us after your BFF weekend. No worries, we'll wait for you to pull your head out of your ass.

You can make every excuse in the book to not quit. I think we could double up on reasons you should.

Kick the 2 year habit NOW! Post role tomorrow....all of us will be here.

What if this weekend, the bullet you loaded before you spun the chamber finally lands under the hammer? And with this last weekend hurrah of dipping you pull the trigger and explode your head into cancer!!!! 'bang head' 'bang head' QUIT NOW, QUIT FOREVER!!!!!!

You will die from dipping. Dipping is like playing russian roulette. Here is a metaphorical video of a typical dipper. The longer he dips the more dangerous the game of russian roulette. And the hot chick in the video, is the NIC bitch, enticing as ever. Imagine the hot chick is the nic bitch luring you into one more 3 day weekend of fun!!!!

FUNNY. And so true.

The difference, of course, is that I never told a bunch of recovering addicts that I was gonna go have a few days' worth of dip and THEN come join them.

I think I hate this Toby more than I hate Tboner. And you know how I hate Tboner.

I hate everyone.

That includes people who rescue dogs.

I appreciate the help guys. I know I should quit now, but I plan on quitting any drinking until I get through the rough stages. The weekend fun has always put me back on the wagon. This is kind of a last hurrah on both fronts this weekend.

Set an exact quit date and time RIGHT NOW and do not let it slip past. I know from extensive experience with quit dates that when it arrives your mind will be firing off rapid-fire excuses to not quit now. Be ready for the mind games and don't let your quit time slip one bit.

I'm serious about this: tell me the exact date and time you will spit out your last dip.

good idea...

last dip will be sunday night...will throw out tin before bed....(and by throw out I mean in a place I can't dig it out)

Well said, my friend, well fucking said!

'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup' 'B.S.'

Sunday night it is.

Let me help you with some of the mind games now. You know you'll be up late on Sunday night to get one more dip in, and when 11:59PM Sunday evening turns into 12:00AM Monday morning you'll be tempted to redefine "Sunday evening" as "before the sun rises on Monday". Set a time beyond which you will not dip. I suggest 12:00AM. I'll expect you to post a day-1 roll call at 12:01AM on Monday, promising not to use nicotine that day.

Honest to goodness, I told my girlfriend I would be done on april 1st. Well, the night before I ran out of dip at 7 pm or so. Go to the station get another can, cant end on a low note, ya know. Well, the morning of april 1st rolls around, I still have 3/4 can left, cant throw that away, ill finish this can. Can gone, well its the middle of the day, might as well finish this day out. Driving home, hey, half a can left, I ll wait till the girl goes to bed, finish this then be done. THEN I WOKE THE FUCK UP AND THREW THAT SHIT OUT THE WINDOW! there is always an excuse.

C'mon - ball up. You're here, you're on the site. Throw it out now. Tell chew to fuck off and it doesn't matter what the hell is happening this weekend, you aren't chewing - PERIOD.

If quitting was easy, there would be no need for this site. Whether you like it or not, after midnight on Monday morning, there is something that will come up that will make you say - I can push this until Tuesday, or next week or next month. We are addicts and we lie. You are here because you want to quit.

Man up and embrace the suck.

Let me break it down to ya, There is always going to be a reason to push the date out. Weekend, holiday party, fishing, the next holiday.

My advice do it now while you have momentum on your side. Flush your can spit out that dip and get on with it.

By the time Monday gets here you'll have 3 days under your belt and the nicotine out of your body.

I triple dog dare you to Quit today right now!

Mintlure: there is a lot of wisdom on this page - I am 33, 15yr dipper and kicked the shit 19 days ago. These boys will save your life - dont be a douche, and dont waste their time - someone else needs the support in their quit.

ball-up kid - you quit right now.

can't agree more with 'disco on this one....32 and 17 years under my belt....real proud of that! These guys (gals too) have helped me get to my 25th day because I stopped making excuses as to why I couldn't and decided I would. Then I did something really intelligent.....I listened to these guys!

You have managed to get all of us sending advice and concern your way today. Not to say we mind, after all that IS why we are all here. However, we could be supporting others who were serious about their quit and actually struggling through it......we are here for you now; why don't you just go ahead and toss the shit out the window and spend the weekend chewing sunflower seeds?

You gotta a set or have they yet to grow fuzz on them?

Well..."Just wanted to committ myself to joining this coming Monday." Good shit!!!

For second there, I thought - here's a guy with a plan. He's set a quit date and has incentive to make it happen. He's posted his resolution to accomplish a major life changing improvement on Monday, May 25, 2009.

And then he says, "....tuesday at the latest".

There's something you'll learn mighty quick here mintlure - your word is all you have. If you make a commitment (which you already have - MONDAY) then you better stick to it. Yes, we're an internet community, but giving us your word, is giving your word to yourself and everyone you love and respect in your life. If you can not keep your word to us, you have problems bigger than your addiction.

So, I'll see you Monday. I will support you 100%. If I don't see you Monday, well, I'm just a random internet avatar and nothing more. Have a good weekend with your addiction. See you Monday.

Do you REALLY want to quit? I'm not feelin it. I could be wrong though. ;)

sorry man but as we type this dooshhhhh has a dip in his mouth....

not buying none of it..................

probably told his girl he'd stop banging dudes "right after the parade" too...

I love parades. All kinds.

***Insert monotone sarcasm here***

These guys don't know what they're talking about. I can quit anytime I want. I just want to have some beers with my boys and then i'll ditch this tin. then i can do it. anytime i want. those poor guys had a hard time, but i won't. what do they know?

***end monotone sarcasm***

I say boy, any of this gettin through to ya?

just wanted to sign in. day 1.

Hope BFF was a good one....go to September HOF and sign role.

Great stuff mintlure! We'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning when you post your day 2. Let us know if you want to get anything off your chest. How's it going so far? What sort of "plan" do you have for when the going gets tough?
