roll call

[dash8dvr]

Hey everyone,

I have been dip free for a little over a month. I initially joined another online quit group that has been around for a while. They seem to have a good system so maybe we can incorporate some of that in here. Basically you sign "roll call" every morning by copying the list, adding your name and how many days you have been dip free, and pasting the list. By doing this you tell your group you will not dip that day (or smoke). It seems to be going well for most who started in my group. If you cave that day, you start back on day one.

I'm in as of 9/27/2006. Come on guys sign in.

[jbethard]

We have 8 on the list so far.

I just can't bring myself to stop... been dipping Copenhagen since I was 14 and I am 42 now. My wife has been on me to quit because she works at MD Anderson but I just never make the commitment. One of these days...

[BrianR]

Good luck to all y'all that are making the commitment to quit. I quit smoking almost 15 years ago. Still remember the date I smoked my last one, where I was and who I was with. Normally I can't remember what I did yesterday, lol! It was tough, but I can tell you it gets easier with time. After 14+ years I only want one a couple dozen times a day, instead of every minute! J/K Good luck.

[keiser]

Its all about will power.

[jbethard]

Answering roll call this morning. Day 3 cope free and the gum is really helping. It was tough yesterday after work, went outside to shoot my bow and BAM! a couple pieces of gum later and I was ok.

Put me in. I stopped the first day I read this post. I had a half a can in the pocket for two days now and just put it in the trash. If I could do it for two day with it in my pocket I know I can do this. I told the wife today I was quitting and she was happy.

I am in for 10-01 going to laredo for a dove hunt this weekend so I dont think now would be a good time. I've tried several times with no luck this board seems like it will help.

[mudrunner]

Good luck to all this weekend.

I'm quitting tonight at midnight. It feels really good to actually WANT to quit. Hard to believe I've been smoking for 20 years. I bet it won't be hard to believe tomorrow though! LOL

[MARKN]

Boy am I glad this weekend is over not really but man I had to stop myself from buying a new can. Had one on the counter and told them to put it back.....

[dash8dvr]

It is Sunday night after an awsome weekend of Jetty fishing without Copenhagen. No stains in the boat to wash off (at least from tobacco). I hope everyone who took that step last week to quit did good this weekend. I know it is tough especially doing what we all love to do. One thing that has helped me out is just to enjoy the hunt or the fishing trip and realize that you are enjoying being outside with no distractions. No dipping (or smoking) to interupt the hunt or fishing trip. Not worrying if you have enough to last the weekend. And ultimately realize that by quitting this horrible habit, we will hopefully add many weekends of doing what we love to do by living a longer healthier life.


Welcome to all those who said they would quit on the 1st of October. No, we have not forgotten your promise. I will post a new roll call after this post for Monday. Just copy my post, add your name, and paste. Remember, by adding your name to the list, you are promising yourself, your family, and the rest of us in here you will be tobacco free that day.
