Quitting Dip on Sunday, April 7th, 2019

[NotSloth]

Before quitting dip, I dipped for 22 years and by the end was completely controlled by nicotine, desperately looking for a way to quit dipping.  I found this place and found that making a promise 1st thing every day... that I wasn't going to dip... was- and is- the only way I would be able to quit chewing tobacco.  Take the option off the table every day with your word. Keep your word, and repeat.

 

You have realized that treating an addiction to dip like a bad habit, doesn't work. To quit dipping you have to treat the addiction like an addiction. You know you have to quit, but you don't know yet that you can live every day without it. That is what it means to truly quit dipping. In time we'll teach you everything you need to know to be able to 100% say that you will never again use nicotine in any form...ever. Today, let's focus on posting a day 1 on scroll, and then through the couple of hours.

THE TIME TO QUIT DIPPING IS RIGHT NOW. 

And the only method for quitting dipping that any of us have ever found to work is quitting cold turkey, with the help of other quitters. The method that we use here. If you found Quitting Dip, you’ve been struggling with nicotine for a long time. You have probably tried to quit. Perhaps you’ve even admitted to yourself that you are addicted to chewing tobacco. 

No matter what strategy you have employed in the past, we both know it hasn’t worked. Otherwise, you would be quit, like the rest of us. The excuses you have used in the past won’t work here. The temporary withdrawal symptoms of quitting dipping are not going to kill you. You can actually function at work and home without your “crutch” to make you “more relaxed”. Your life will improve dramatically once you quit dipping. You might remember stopping for a few weeks, and you have an idea that it was hell 'because you had quit'. It was hell because you didn’t know how to quit until now. 

We’ll change your mindset, and we will lay out the timeline of quitting nicotine. The only thing that you need to do to participate in a 100% effective method of quitting dipping is to show up here every day, follow the advice of the members, and follow the only two rules we have here....Post your promise not to dip every morning, and keep your word. If you are ready to quit dipping, post up on the Plebe Scroll. 

Otherwise, visit the support center, or read some speeches.

I had a hard time with the whole "addict" thing.  Ultimately it doesn't matter.  There are no steps here, we are quitters who don't dip.  It's brilliantly simple and highly effective.

The gong show for me wasn't admitting that I am an addict (I most certainly am), it was realizing that I'm not special.

Finding this site, reading these words, I saw that there is a way out.  People here are posting hundreds and thousands of days free from dip.  Holy SHIT!  If they can do it...maybe I can too.

Admitting you're not special is not admitting you are weak.  It's the opposite. Admitting to yourself that you are not alone in this battle and are willing to fight with us is the first step back towards strength.  Back towards honor, integrity, and freedom.

So are you an addict?  Who cares?!?  If you're tired of failing every time you try quitting dip, the more important question you need to ask yourself is: am I somehow different from these individuals?  Read the Centurion Speeches to check.

All you need right now is just enough courage to sign-up and post a day 1.  That spark of integrity will catch fire.

Take a look at the Quitting Dip Daily Scroll.  Ask yourself if you'd like to be where we are: free from nicotine, strong, courageous and helping others find freedom as well; or if you're happy where you are: lying to yourself and all those around you, hiding in the dark with your can.
