My advice is: Your in the right fucking place.

What we do here is quit. Simple as that. You will be placed in the January 2012 group (this is the day you reach the hall of fame). From this point, You will take it one day at a time. You post each day, this is a promise to your group that you will not cave. This is how this site works, and its extremely effective.

Caving is for pussies. You've taken the first step in saying I don't want to die a fucking dipper. Don't ruin it all with a pussy cave.

Today, I quit with you. 6 days strong.

In this world, accountability is king. Not posting roll is setting you up for fail.

Hey ya'll nice little site goin on here. Im a dipper.  Been doin this shit since i was 15.  Now i'm 65.  3 cans a day for the past 40 years.  I know its pretty shitty.  Wana quit before i die.  I don't wana die a damn dipper.  :blink: My mouth looks pretty damn awful.  I tried to quit once back 20 years ago.  Lasted an hour. Any advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to the madness.

First things first, go to the Welcome Center and learn about posting roll. When you're ready to quit and join us take every bit of stuff that you have with nicotine in it and flush it down the toilet. Come back to the January Quit Group and post your Day 1.

We have a simple method for quitting around here:
1) Post roll with your quit group first thing in the morning. That's your promise to everyone (especially to yourself) that you WILL NOT use any kind of nicotine today...just for today.
2) Keep your word. In this online world the only thing you have is your word. Do the honorable thing.
3) Come back tomorrow morning and do it all over again.

The process is simple, but it's not easy. Step up to the line and quit with us and you'll have 9500+ quitters to back you up. Every one of us here has been where you are today...and we know the way out. Quit for today, just today. Tomorrow will take care of itself. Glad to have you with us if you decide to make that choice...and that's the bottom line...the choice is yours and yours alone. But, if you decide to quit you'll find that you have more support here than you could have ever imagined. I hope you make the right choice...I'll be glad to quit with you today. Shoot me a message if I can help. 'archer'

Come on LoC...

Please post back in. I would love to see you get quit with us. I am only 26 but imagine if you could get quit and in turn help people my age save their lives.

Also I have to mention that if you have ever wanted to act like a teenager again you will fit in here nicely. I do believe some of our oldest members are by far the most immature.
10 out of 10 doctors recommend posting with the EPIC May 2011 3 ballers, it is an essential part of a balanced quit.

OK LoC - you posted your message over five hours ago. Got a couple of replies. No word from you though. You want help or no? You ask for advice, you came to the right place. There are some badass motherfuckers on this site that can give you all the advice you can handle (I ain't one of 'em, but they're here).

You posted and went dark. I know you've been out there today lurking. Don't say this is a "nice little site" and then disappear. We're all here to help. You just gotta want to accept the help. You might think most of us are too damn young to offer you anything. Don't let that stop you. I got the best support I needed on this site from someone nearly half my age.

Fifty years. Shit. Swear to God man in April I was looking at myself thinking "am I still gonna be doing this shit when I'm 50?" - forget 65.

Don't quit before you die. Quit before it kills you. Haven't you heard? 65 is the new 40!
The love you get here is conditional. The condition is that you are quit.

No doubt it is tough to get started on this endeavor that seems impossible (that is the addiction talking). I felt that way 77 days ago. Jump in, drink the koolaid, and before you know it, you will have a whole bunch of days of freedom under your belt.

One day at a time. The system here is genius and WILL work for you if you utilize the tools. That is a 100% guarantee.

Hold on a damn minute there gramps...You are setting yourself up for failure. You are allowing the nic bitch to make you think like.....an ADDICT! It is not that damn difficult. You simply decide that you want to quit. Then nut up and get to Quitting! I dipped 24 years and have been nicotene free for 500 days tomorrow! You can too. Simplyy decide that you are done!

You can't hurt my quit. This place helps people help themselves.

50 years is no different than 5 years. An addict is an addict. I know, I was more than 38 years dipping until 42 days ago. I actually think the longer time dippers have an advantage because we have that many more years of hating it.

Please let us know when you are ready to quit. Not ready to try or attempt, just frickin done with it. I got my inspiration when a dipping buddy told me he has stomach cancer 42 days ago. The damn Tobacco companies are murderers. Dipping is no longer an option in my life. Those fuckers owe me 38 years and $50,000. I am willing to suffer forever if it prevents me from feeding those criminals.

Spit it out, flush your shit, and never look back. It can be done!

I would fail shit i just have a feeling i would.

You would ONLY fail if you DECIDE to fail. If you DECIDE you are going to QUIT, then you QUIT. Just quit for TODAY...then worry about what you are going to do tomorrow when you get out of bed in the morning. If you were my grandpa, I would want you to QUIT!! So, what are you waiting for? Your next dip may be the one that puts your grandchildren in tears leaning over your casket. Please QUIT....today....

Yikes man, what do you think your grandchildren would say to that? Lead by example, you have people looking up to you. Don't just do it for them, do it for yourself... You want a giant lump cheek when they put you in the coffin?

Neat username. Did you snort the stuff?

Listen, I don't care if you've dipping for one year or fifty. You are an addict. You have made the decision to stop by this site and sign up. You don't want to die a dipper? That's a great first step.

It's simple: throw out all you dip related items, if they exist. Then post roll here everyday. Go to bed at night, get up the next day and do it again. Then repeat, pretty much forever.
It's fucking that easy.

The first few days are sheer misery. Everyone of us will tell you that. Get names/numbers of people in you pre-HOF group. and reach out when the craves hit. That is why we are here. I regularly reach out to the brothers when the nic bith is tugging at me. Believe me. We have all been there. If we can do it, so can you! Drink a ton of water, too. Your system will be flushed out in a few days. (Though at 3 cans/day, it may take a bit onger.)

PM me if you need to. You CAN do this!!

Cmon and quit with me, huh?
