By the power of Grayskull, I am quit!!!!
[ *  * ]
I dunno if I'm doin this right but I'm gonna give it a shot....

I decided about a month ago that I was gonna quit dipping. Sure, no sweat. It's only been 15 years. Needless to say, I've been dipping about a can and a half a day for 15 years, including the last month. I screwed up and said to my girlfriend of about a year "I think I'm gonna quit dipping." That was my first mistake. As of that moment, it was officially uncool to do something I had been doing since before we had met. A couple days into "quitting" I decided I would just not dip around her. That shouldn't be a problem. WOAH! Boy was I wrong?! Now I'm hiding it from her. Instead of support I get "If you hide that from me, what else will you hide from me?" Well, it's time to quit. I have a 6 year old son that I do NOT want to go through this, and whether I have a girlfriend when it's all over with or not, I'm done with it!!! Any support would be appreciated.

Boy, have you stepped into it now. You've come to the right place.

You'll soon have a ton of people who will call you their brother and who will offer you all kinds of advice. Take what you need and leave the rest...

Start here at the Welcome Center and read all the items. Re-read number 4 about why we post roll. That's the most important piece of advice I can give you. It's critical to a successful quit.

Once you're done reading that stuff, read EVERYTHING you can. There's a ton of good stuff within Introductions, HoF Speeches, and the quit groups. You'll be in the December '11 group, so get in there and post your Day 1. Welcome aboard, glad to be quit with you today! 'archer'

Leather Apron,

Welcome. Tazmed has offered some sound advice. Spend a lot of time on this site. Get to know your future HOF brothers and sisters. Post roll every day!

There is no trying at KTC. You choose to quit for one day at a time.

PM me if you need anything.

I am proud to quit with you today.

I really appreciate it guys. As I'm typing this, my cell is vibrating off my desk. Seems the little lady found a can I left in the bathroom and she is none too pleased. It's times like these that I'm gonna have the toughest time. That's why I decided that it's too much for me to do alone. I am eternally grateful for the support.

It's too much for any of us to do alone. Nicotine is a brutal enemy. Dig your foxhole, hop in and start fighting. You will find many a quitter here at KTC that will hop right in there with you and help you fight. I will quit with you today. Welcome

Welcome leather Apron,

I am in two days myself of quitting an 18 year habit. I have visited this site in the past (one of my many failed quit attempts) but never posted. I am doing things different this time including becoming part of the support/group instead of looking in. My will power and convictions to quit and stay quit are in the right place.

I know I am only on day 2 but if you need anything let me know. I think I have read every piece of information on this site, funny the obession you get.

Well Leather Apron,

It's not an easy task those first few days of quit, but all of us reaching out here did it. We went through it. We know the suck of it. We made it. And we're all quit. The fact you made the decision to quit is awesome, and you don't have to do it alone when you have all of us!

You put "trying" to quit. We don't try here. WE DO. Keep the mentality that you can do it. There are MANY people who didn't think they could, but did it. You can, too.

The best thing to do is read. You're gonna hear that a good bit, but it's true as can be. It might be one story that hits right at home and makes you realize how good it is to be quit.

Make sure you post roll everyday. No computer isn't an excuse. Get numbers. Text roll if you need to. Text when you even think of that nasty shit. There are many people here to help you in your quit. Take all the advice you can. You can do this!

470 Days ago I felt the overwhelming wave of support you're now feeling. It was CRAZY! I was like shit! These guys are gonna make me man the fuck up! So welcome to the Quit Dojo. We openly accept hardcore-Quitters. The following will be roundhouse kicked in the dome:
- people who are:
- giving it a good ole "college TRY"
- doing this for their grandmother, sister, son, daughter, girlfriend (i.e. anyone other than themselves) (Note: it is OK to be inspired to quit by these folks. It just can't be the backbone of your QUIT...subtle, but important)
- CAVERS!
- "Hopeful" that this is the one...MAKE IT YOUR LAST QUIT!
- Douchesnozzles; see Cavers.


...you get the point...

Congratulations on making the decision to become a better, more kick-ass version of yourself. One that is not controlled by a weed. One that doesn't have to take hour and a half shits, get milk EVERYNIGHT, and hide toxic spitters under the drivers seat.

Great things come to those who battle through, and accept, the SUCK.

Glad to be Quit with you this fine evening sir.

I am pretty early on in my quit but i do find the everyday promise to everyone by posting roll helps. I get on the site often to read posts and the daily roll call. The sayings get interesting.
Most importantly get involved. Read like everyone has said. LOOK at the nasty scary pictures.... YOU dont want to look like that. Its not worth the gamble. Spend $5 dollars a day on Lotto tickets instead or start a quit jar like me. I'm paying myself to quit.

I decided to reply to your post as i feel i need to be more involved on this site and stay focused on my quit.
And when I needed someone to talk to and talk me out of buying a can I came back to my intro posts and sent Whsii a PM and he texted me back right away.
" Stay quit with me "

So welcome brother and if you need anything PM me.

I quit with you today
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

hey leather apron....you post in here yesterday that it is day 1 but then on today's roll call you also post day 1.

You are only allowed 1 day 1 around here. What, did you have a rough night and sneak a little pinch?
Being quit is like so much better than not being quit.

So about a week ago I'm driving to Buffalo Wild Wings with my 6 year old son and one of his baseball teammates in the back seat. I'm doin the same thing I been doin since June of '95, driving with a dip in my mouth, when my sons friend says "what's in this water bottle back here? Why's it brown?" It sucks when a grown ass man has to be embarassed by a 6 year old to realize something has to change. That's not even the worse part. My son says "that's some stuff my dad always has in his mouth. He has to spit it in there." I'll tell you what, it started eating away at me right then and there. Something had to give, and it finally gave last night. I'm day 1 quit and I pray my son doesn't remember me having that shit rolling around my floorboard.
