Popular Post scoots Posted October 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2023 The story of how I got here is nothing special. If you’re reading this speech, it’s your story too. I got here because my addiction got to a breaking point. For a few years, I had basically just accepted that this plant was going to kill me one day. I gave up. Surrendered my life to nicotine. Something had to change and I knew that for years. I got tired of hiding tins and spitters. Tired of gums feeling like leather. Tired of fights with my wife. Tired of saying no to any type of social life. Tired of it all. 101 days ago I googled “How to quit dipping Reddit” and came across a small subreddit which got me to this place. Little did I know how much that google search would change my life. Blogs, articles, podcasts on how to Quit dip. The shit I needed to keep me from dipping that night. And then the next morning. From that point forward, I became all in on Quit. Obsessed with it. I didn’t understand the website at first, but I knew I had to figure it out. I read everything I could. I read the Kern Family story(a MUST read for any new quitters), made an intro, and all of the sudden I couldn’t let this group of strangers down. They know their shit, I don’t, so why not follow their lead? I quickly learned how important it is to talk about your Quit and ask questions. There was one thing I specifically knew I need to learn, and learn quickly. It is the formula for everything here: Accountability x Brotherhood = Quit Let’s start with the first word - accountability. Something none of us here had when it comes to dip. I didn’t know what it meant, but you get to learn pretty quickly. I watched a few plebes come and go, as well as guys that had 4 digit Quit days flame out. Shit is a bit jarring, but it was important to see. It doesn’t matter who the fuck you are, Day 3 or Day 3000, you’ll get held accountable here. So multiply Accountability by the next part: Brotherhood. Never in my life did I think the reason I’d quit dipping is because of an online forum, but here we are. I am so thankful for all of you that have impacted my Quit. There’s a few of you I’ve gotten to know well that have impacted my Quit, and there’s some of you who don’t even know how much you’ve impacted my Quit just by the things you say. One guy I would specifically like to thank is @KobeJr I don’t think I’ll ever be able to explain the impact you had on me just by talking to me and showing me the ropes. I will never forget that. I am getting to know a lot of you more and I intend to grow and develop friendships here and continue to mold myself into this community. The last point I’d like to make is that although being Quit for 100 days is cool, I know I still have much to learn to become a true badass Quitter. Milestones are nice but they don’t mean shit if you don’t put in the work day in and day out to get to them. Opening this website first thing in the morning and making my promise to scream FUCK NICOTINE TODAY AND EVERYDAY has become the best way to start a day. I’ve learned how to Quit for myself - my family gets more time with me because of the promise to myself. Quit has made me a better father, husband, son, friend, employee, boss, outfielder, cook, driver, person. Quit has given me a new life and there is no looking back. Here’s to a lifetime of Quit with each and every one of you, I am so thankful to call you all my Brothers. Thank you for saving my life. Fuck Nicotine.
