Dear Potential Quitter,
I say potential quitter because the mere fact that you're looking at this shows that you're thinking about quitting. Your addiction right now may be telling you this is not a good time to quit but your conscience wants you to see IF you ever decided to quit what it would be like. It comes down to three words:
po·ten·tial [puh-ten-shuhl]
-adjective
1. possible, as opposed to actual
2. capable of being or becoming
3. someone or something that is considered a worthwhile possibility
quit [kwit]
-verb (used with object)
1. to stop, cease, or discontinue
2. to depart from; leave
3. to give up or resign; let go; relinquish
4. to release one's hold of (something grasped)
5. to acquit or conduct (oneself)
6. to free or rid
con·science [kon-shuhns]
-noun
1. the inner sense of what is right or wrong in one's conduct or motives, impelling one toward right action
2. the complex of ethical and moral principles that controls or inhibits the actions or thoughts of an individual
The question is:
Consciencelessly do you have the potential to quit?
The answer is:
YES! But it takes you stepping forward and saying I need help.
That's where QSX comes into play. You can and will at some point want to quit. Why not start now?
You hold the key to unlock this site for a successful quit. Why not utilize it?
I did .. 363 days go!
Sincerely,
-mls

Happy New Year quitters.
If you have made the New Year's resolution to quit this is the place to help you stick to your desire. If you told your family that 2008 would be the year to drop that habit, this is the place to make it possible.
You will be the one doing the lifting but there are over 1500 members here that want to help you. If you're not careful you may even make some friends in the process.

jj .. that means alot to me. You give me inspiration as well when you and others post roll stating Today I Won't Use Tobacco! Thank You!

By the way, we "veterans" know what you guys are going through because we have been there in your shoes. Today marks day 643 of my quit. You may look at that number and seriously wonder how you will ever get that far. If that is your question, then here is my answer ... one day at a time.
As cliche as that may sound, it is the truth. No matter how hard you fight, no matter how many cravings you battle through, no matter how many headaches, fits of dip rage or periods of constipation you endure, you can only do this one day at a time. Certainly it would be nice to do all the hard work of quitting at the beginning and get it over with so that afterwards you could just coast.
It doesn't work that way. Each and every day you get to make a choice. Will you, or will you not, return to the open arms of tobacco. Will you, or will you not, deny the self indulgent side of you that is ready to throw in the towel. Will you, or will you not, say "no tobacco today", mean it and stick to it no matter what circumstances you encounter today.
This site is a community of individuals quitting smokeless tobacco. Each and every day that we all succeed in keeping the "no tobacco today" promise is a victory. So when you need help, ask, and watch as the wagons begin to circle.
You may want to wander in to some of the other, older quit groups. In some of these groups, on any given day, you may see very little dialogue specifically related to smokeless tobacco cessation. I can assure you this is not because we have been "cured". However, it is because we are no longer completely consumed by our quits. We have reached a point where learning a new recipe for brisket, discussing the merits of a certain vacation destination or arguing about the officiating during yesterday's game is also worth talking about. We still keep our guards up for sure, but sometimes we just have fun, joke around and enjoy the freedom we have acquired. I mention this to give you hope. Yes, quitting still requires a one day at a time commitment, but each day gets better and staying quit becomes easier.
I know some of you are having a really difficult time. I've walked in your shoes. Keep in mind that the pain you are currently experiencing is the currency with which you will purchase your freedom.
The path to freedom is a well traveled one. Many, many ex-tobacco users have secured their freedom within these walls. They acquired the tools necessary to battle their addiction and many have chronicled their stories here ...
The Hall of Fame Speeches (http://z11.invisionfree.com/QS_Xtreme/index.php?showforum=9)
I think you will find encouragement in these words. They found the help they needed right here where you are. Remember that every step away from tobacco is one step closer to freedom. So stay strong and stay quit!!

Don't ever give up quitting. Everybody knows it's hard, but not impossible- we are living proof. It does get easier; however, don't fool yourself into "just one".

To any of you who are struggling,
I am truly sorry that you are experiencing this pain and discomfort. Perhaps it is a bit stronger and lasting longer than you expected it would. Perhaps you are feeling like you really were not prepared for this kind of struggle ... I don't know, but I can tell you this:
You are not alone and honestly, you are not more addicted than the rest of us either. The mental anguish you are dealing with will go away, the feelings of loss and boredom and doom will fade ... they ALWAYS do.
If you could only see things from my vantage point. I know this has been hell for you. Do not forget, I went through it too. But now I've been walking away from tobacco for well over 600 days. I can see so much more clearly now ... you need to get to a similar spot. The only way to do that is just tackle each day and decide that NO MATTER WHAT, you are gonna stay clean. Please believe me that life will indeed get better and staying quit will truly get easier. Just continue to distance yourself from tobacco and these two sayings will become reality.
It's somewhat like this old, familiar story ...
Two Wolves
One evening an old man told his grandson about a struggle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 'wolves' inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and asked, "Grandfather, which wolf wins?"
The old man replied simply, "The one you choose to feed."
There remains inside me, a continuous fight. There is the ugly side ... called addiction. And there is the beautiful side ... called freedom. These two sides cannot coexist. One will win and one will lose. The one that wins will do so because it is well cared for, nurtured and fed. The loser will be defeated due to starvation and neglect.
In some ways, this story very concisely puts quitting into perspective. Certainly, the mere fact we are here reading and posting on this website is proof that we want to be free from the bonds of nicotine addiction. And yet, there is this other part of us, the part that wants to return to the security of our addiction. As nicotine junkies, we have a choice. We can choose to feed the part of us struggling to be free or we can choose to feed the part of us that secretly wants to return to the open arms of tobacco. The existence of this perverse, ugly "wolf" saddens me, but I am convinced he is still inside each of us.
He is wimpering and whining and tiresome. He wants to be fed. Don't do it. His appetite is insatiable. Stop throwing him scraps - you must continue to starve him. Eventually, he will become so weak that he really won't be all that bothersome.
Instead, feed the other one. The part of you that desires freedom; the one you were born to be. Feed this part of you, nurture it, watch as this wolf gains strength and eventually dominates the other.
Be strong and take courage!

Accountability
This site provides that in spades. Use this site completely. Read everything. Post often. Get involved.
Making sure you have the phone numbers of some quit brothers in case of an emergency is also an excellent idea, but there is more ...
Every day send someone here a PM.
Every week make one phone call.
By so doing, you will foster friendships, offer/obtain encouragement, gain knowledge and above all, you will increase your chances of success by a factor of ten.
Why?
Investment. Invest your time and energy into quitting. Not just your quit, but others' quits too. Go "all in". Get to the point where you have so much invested that you cannot bear to cave ... you have too much to lose.
And someone who has this much to lose is bound to take measures to protect that investment. One thing I did was tell everyone, even strangers, that I quit. Why? Simple ... to making caving such an embarassing proposition that I never even considered it.
Send a PM or make a phone call today. Invest. Go "all in".

When you click on the live chat link, you may get a bar at the top of your browser that won't allow pop ups. If that's the case right click on it and temporarily allow them. Once the chat window opens you may have another bar at the top of that window that says something about running scripted windows, click on that and temp allow scripted windows. Then there's a box on the left above the BIUSC@ boxes. Click on that and put in whatever screen name you want.

honestly, you've made a perfect move... you're here. you're among people who know what you're going through -- USE THAT. get on here, talk and read. ask questions, come here and bitch about how bad life sucks without dip. eventually it'll get better... i promise.
as for the oral fixation -- there are a variety of herbal/fake chews on the market that are perfect for dealing with the "habit" portion of your addiction: http://www.killthecan.org/yourquit/alternatives.asp (http://www.killthecan.org/yourquit/alternatives.asp)
smc can be found in most walmarts (unfortunately right near the real stuff)
hooch snuff is my personal favorite these days but it's mail order only.
drink a ton of water and DONT TRY TO QUIT FOREVER. it's too big. quit today and we'll deal with tomorrow when we get there.

smc is smokey mountain chew...
my point about the safety can is this -- dip is no longer an option. you're done. posting roll is your promise that you won't dip today -- no matter what. that's why we do it daily. i didn't make a pledge to quit for 550 days... i make 550 pledges to quit one day at a time.

No "safety" can...........it says right on the effen can that it's not safe. Get on over to the May'08 HOF quit group to post roll up with your brothers. Get your head around this. You are quit, period.......no safety can, no nicotine of any form. Be prepared for the weekend, the first weekend in a quit is extemely crucial. Don't blow it, brother. You can, and will do this with a little help from your friends. You've got a ton of 'em on here that you haven't even met. B)

SMC.......made outa corn silk, has guarana and gensing in it. Looks like ass hair in a can. The "classic" flavor tastes like shit. Even being a Copehead I couldn't stand it. The wintergreen is much better. But do not be fooled into thinking it's the magic cure for ails you. Some folks do great with it, others it just messes with their head and makes them want the real deal. It's not the dip you're addicted to, it's the damned nicotine. So, don't expect miracles from it. It can help with the oral fixation though. Just use it in "emergencies" and it could help some. Hooch is a far better product, but is only available to order on the net. Try some jerky, sunflower seeds, altoids, gum, black licorice, dog turds, cat turds, or monkey shit. Anything but the can of death. Just do whatever the hell it takes to keep that shit out of your face.

Some folks do great with it, others it just messes with their head and makes them want the real deal. It's not the dip you're addicted to, it's the damned nicotine. So, don't expect miracles from it. It can help with the oral fixation though. Just use it in "emergencies" and it could help some. Hooch is a far better product, but is only available to order on the net. Try some jerky, sunflower seeds, altoids, gum, black licorice, dog turds, cat turds, or monkey shit. Anything but the can of death. Just do whatever the hell it takes to keep that shit out of your face.
thanks but no thanks asshair in a can i have green tea in my lip now day 2s rough

There you go. Tea is good shit.....better for you in a cup tho. Green tea will help flush the systems. Don't try dippin' coffee grounds though, that's some nasty shit that sticks to the inside of your mouth. :wacko:
Not that I ever tried that sort of thing. 'embarrassed'

chewie's tip of the day: (sorry for the rah rah bossman -- it's who i am)
Each time you want a dip, ask yourself a question.... what do you love more, your family and yourself, or the chew?

If it's not too big, just get some some of that scratch cover paint in the factory color....put it on the scratch....buff it out by hand with some rubbing compound....then a good wax coat. It'll be good as new. B)
"Buff it out by hand.....rubbing compound..." heh-heh...heh-heh...hey Butthead.

HI ALL HALF WAY THERE DAY 2 'embarrassed' THANK GOD NO CHEWIES RAH RAH SPEECHES ITS TOUGH THE NIC BITCHS CALLING AND SHE LOOKS HOT
-
the weekend is upon us folks!!!
stay on course this weekend friends - this place tends to die down but that DOES NOT MEAN we aren't thinking about you... be strong, use the tools that you have at your disposal. make a plan - use those phone numbers (if you don't have one, pm me and it's yours) it's NEARLY impossible to cave when you're the phone witha brother.
see you on the flip side with those dip free lips!
chewie's 3 step cave plan
there's been a lot of talk about plans here lately... here's mine.
it's been put into effect many times over the last 500+ days.
feel free to copy and modify to fit your needs.
step 1: take picture of son out of wallet. look my son in the face and tell him that i love dip more than i love him.
step 2: take out killthecan.org business card, read the words and REALIZE that i'm letting each and every one of YOU down.
step 3: call each of the 60+ killthecan.org phone numbers that i've got in my phone and get PERMISSION from each and every person to have a dip.
P.S.: i've never had to go past step 1

Suck it up man, you don't need a pussy safety can. Get your ass off the couch and make a good breakfast, that will take your mind off the need. Then get out of the house don't set around all day thinking about it, shit man get your mind on something else. Go to the mall and watch the new generation of assholes make assholes out of themselfs its good entertainment. DO SOMETHING.
By the way where is your Roll for today, I don't see a post by you yet. Get your ass over to our Roll page and get it done.

ok thanks for the reply im just being honest the nic bitch wants me to be lip deep in some cope right now its been 3 days im feeling better but it s tough
-
hey guys is this the roll call area???
-
Stay strong. 3 days you have the stuff beat. Its all a mind game now.
From what I understand you should be posting roll under the Quit groups forum then under the May HOF group. Post up in this group as we are all at the same spot in our quit and know what you are going through because we are there too.

HEY GUYS I REALLY WANT TO BE LIP DEEP IN SOME COPE THE NIC BITCH IS REALLY CALLING ME HARS BUT I DIDNT BUY A SAFETY CAN I GUESS ILL STICK WITH MY SMOKEY MTN SNUFF NASTY STUFF STEVE :lol:

chews im jonsing real bad i didnt get the safety can ist day 3 im thinking about the weaning system or graduall with drawl??/program??????
-
Don't do it. You have went this long without a chew you do not need one now. If you can be strong for another day or two you will have this wipped. If you give in now all you have put up with so far will be wasted and you will be starting over so Man up, Cowboy up, but on your big boy shorts and kick this bad habit in the ass. Are you getting me.
So where are you from? Wondering if its close enough to drive in a day.
-
I know that CMM and myself have e-mailed you our phone numbers. Give one of us a call. I can be a bigger pain in the ass on the phone then on the computer. We are both on our 4th day so we know what you are going through. Hell I chewed for 20 years, 4 days ago I quit. Took last chew out of can never opened a new one just quit so I understand.

NoMeNot- DAY 4......this quittin stuff is easy
truly shocked it has been that easy on me. Considering a week ago I considered myself beyond hooked and have never gone more than a couple of hours without a dip in the past few years. I think by me preparing myself so much for my quit, it has kinda deminished the power of the nic bitch during my quit.
I did by some smokey mountain dip after day 1, I don't really like it that much...but it helps with a strong urge. But once again, the urge is just not that strong for m NO NOT ME YOU SOUND TOO COCKY BE CAREFUL OF THE NIC BITCH OR YOULL BE LIP DEEP IN SOME COPEGRIZZSKOALLEVIGARETWHACAMISHIT!!!!!!!!

Hey...I'm no pro at this either. It has been a complete revision of my life. Just trying to fill in those gaps where the triggers lie. I do know I have tried the tapering shit....didn't work. You still need the can....only 3 dips a day turns into 4...5....6.... wait ohhh tough day at work or damn my wife and I just had it out....need another one. Weaning just makes justification that much easier and plus the shit is still right there at your finger tips. No doubt Cope is powerful, but from what I reading on this site and on the net.... it's all mental baby after 3-4 days...I dipped the bear and Cope non-stop (except for some bull shit attempts at quitting) and this ain't easy...you start thinking about anything but cold turkey and mentally you are all done! Just looking out Bossman...I'm in the same fight!
PS I'm from NH so the skiing suggestion just comes naturally....you can always try waterskiing....

Amen, Brother! You have brought a smile to my face every day for the past few mornings - thanks. Each day will get a little better. I am on day 173 the craves still haven't gone away. I can go HOURS at a time, though, without thinking about it. And, when I do, it is easier to push the thoughts back.
Be careful about following Chewie around - he will lure you into this whole quittin' thing you won't be able to get out!! Stay Strong!

loot read this 3 times...loot recognizes it as English...but Boss...can you string a fucking thought together in a cohesive fashion? Think about some commas...or some dots...to break up your ramblings...

oh yeah...aside from the run on sentances....here is another big word for you....
paragraphs!
they break up your thought so you don't sound like a fuckin lunatic

The Bosses Tip of the day@@@###### listen to Chewie!@@@@@@@@@@@
-
Dipville is a disgusting place full of disease, slow but certain death, lies, deceit, and filth. The residents of Dipville appear to be normal to each other, but rather strange to outsiders. You see, the residents of Dipville all have this habit of frequently packing their lower lips full of this dirt-like substance. This substance goes by many names: dip, snuff, and chew to name a few. It comes in a convenient round can about the size of a hockey puck and is to the resident of Dipville a necessity, a life-giving substance, something to plan one's entire day/life around. In a sense these cans are very much the Dipvillian's best friend and yet at the same time their worst friend. To anybody living outside of Dipville, this practice is disgusting and foul and the outsiders think the residents of Dipville are quite pathetic and sad and gross.
Dipvillians have a strange keeness of always knowing where their little can is at all times. They always have an inventory in their heads about how much dirt they have left in the can and the approximate time that it will run out. This way, they can time their stop to purchase a brand-new can of this life-sustaining dirt just in time for the old can to run out. There is a ritual to breaking the seal on a new can, packing the contents and stuffing the lip. There are variations on the procedures, but it remains a constant among all residents that it is a daily ritual performed several times during the day.
There are a few problems with the dirt that must be explained. Beyond the fact that it creates brown ooze in the Dipvillians' mouths that must be either spat or swallowed, there are much more serious aspects. This dirt causes the mind of the Dipvillian to become extremely dependent on it. Not remembering to insert the dirt into his mouth will make a Dipvillian dizzy, mean, cranky, unable to concentrate, and just plain miserable. This is one of the ways that residents are encouraged to stay in Dipville. The dirt creates painful sores in the mouth. These sores often turn into lesions and eventually (with enough dirt) will turn into cancer. Mouth and throat cancer is almost always a death sentence. Needless to say, there are many Dipvillians who will get this cancer if they don't figure out a way to get out of Dipville.
Some of the residents of Dipville really live just beyond the city limits. They themselves are as much residents as the others, but the difference is that their families don't know that they frequently sneak into town to be with their can and stuff their lips with dirt. They lie through their dirt stained teeth just to have some time in Dipville. Some of the residents have been living in Dipville since they were 10 or 11 years old. It's no surprise to find residents of Dipville that have been there for 30+ years.
It is incredibly expensive to live in Dipville. Just buying a fresh can of dirt each day can cost the Dipvillian anywhere from $120-$150 per month. The cost is increased by needing to continually purchase new containers to spit the brown ooze into. Frequently Dipvillians buy a soda each day just for the container to deposit the ooze. This increases the cost of living another $30-$40 per month. Increased use of gasoline to make strange trips to the store, bank, etc. (just to have a mouth of dirt) can add another $20-30 per month. So for the average Dipvillian, their lifestyle costs them from $170-$220 every month. Couple this with the cancer risk, and there's a real sacrifice being made to remain in Dipville.
Most of the residents of Dipville have tried to leave many times, only to find the move too difficult. So they make-up excuses about how difficult and trying life is outside of Dipville, or that they just want to take a short ride back through Dipville and have just one more can (which almost always turns into 10, 50, 100 cans ...) Or they take a little trip into Smokeville and the little sticks of dirt there remind them of the little cans of dirt in Dipville and before they realize it, they are right back in Dipville enslaved to their old ways.
Most of the long-time residents of Dipville hate living there. They are tired of the smell, tired of the slimy brown ooze coming out of their mouths, tired of the lies they tell to their loved ones just so they can remain living in Dipville. They are tired of their mouths hurting, tired of wasting their money on cans of dirt, tired of being a slave to the little cans, tired of hiding. They are just plain tired of living, breathing and slowly dying in Dipville and want to move out for good. Countless numbers of the residents have tried to move away, but have come right back to their old homes in Dipville.
The best/worst thing about living in Dipville is the bridge. This is not an ordinary bridge, but rather it is the bridge to Freedomville, a wonderful place that is actually visible from Dipville. Freedomville is so beautiful. Nobody uses dirt in Freedomville, nobody has brown ooze coming out of their mouths in Freedomville, nobody is chained to a can in Freedomville. They don't have to lie about dirt in Freedomville, they don' waste their money on dirt in Freedomville, they don't make up errands to run so they can stuff their lips with dirt in Freedomville.
Some of the residents of Freedomville have lived there all their lives. Some used to live in Dipville and have relocated permanently to Freedomville.
And there's the sad crowd of those that only live in Freedomville for a few weeks, days, hours, minutes at a time before crossing the bridge back into Dipville. They cross the bridge into Freedomville, try to assimilate, and try to stay out of Dipville, but they're missing something. They still see the bridge to Dipville as being open to them. They remember that the can of dirt they used to love is right there in Dipville just waiting for them. They remember all they activities they used to do with their can at their side. What they don't do is see themselves as full-fledged residents of Freedomville. They don't look at the bridge and remember that "The bridge to Dipville is off-limits today".
Fellow quitters, we're in Freedomville right now. The bridge to Dipville is there. But we must believe that today we are truly residents of Freedomville. We must believe that the bridge is off limits to us today. We must believe that it is fully within our control to not cross the bridge to Dipville today. We must remember how disgusting Dipville really is. We must believe that we will never drive through Dipville again for the rest of our lives. We must remember that the can we loved was going to kill us. We must remember that in Dipville we become dishonest and ugly, un-trustworthy and scheming, we become slaves to the dirt of Dipville.
The stresses of daily living will come our way every day. Let's face those stresses in Freedomville, not Dipville. No crossing the bridge today! Dipville is off limits!

It's a hard decision to make, and I can't say it will be easy to go through, but with support from your family, friends the brotherhood at KillTheCan.org anyone can quit.

Happy Finally Friday Quitters........ready for the weekend?
-
chewie's tip of the day:
"Just one won't hurt"- don't believe it! Just one is enough to send you back to the bottom of the mountain. Is one dip worth doing those first couple of days again?
-
At the time of giving decision, if you can keep your mind thoughtless, then you will get peace. And if your desires come on and off, then you will be unhappy. To see darkness is a clear sight, to know when to surrender is real power, to get enlightened and start journey towards light, is only known as path towards ultimate truth (mystery)."

""""The bosses tip of the day""""" Its not the last small dip that gets you hooked again its the first small dip that sets the addiction in motion again allowing you to be lip deep in copeskoallevigaretkodiacredmangrizzleshit

Allright all you weekend "guests"....time to toss that can, and get to quittin'. B)

QuittinTime's 4 Step Program: (It's worked so far.)
Step 1: Take that can of copenskodihuskgrizzletimbrshit and open the lid, and dump that shit down the big round white thingy in the the little room in your house, pull the handle on the big round white thingy and watch it spin into oblivion, then tap the can several times to get out all the flakes and flush again, then one more time to get the shit off the rim.
Step 2: Take that empty can of copenskodihuskgrizzletimbrshit outside away from anything flammable and throw it on the ground, stomp the living dog shit out of it, pour some lighter fluid, gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, or some other flammable liquid onto the can. Stand back about 6 to 8 feet and toss a match into the fucker and watch it burn........burn baby burn! Do a dance around the worthless son of a bitch. When the flames die down, stomp the shit of the metal lid (if applicable).
Step 3: Bury the remains..........say a few words if you wish.
Step 4: DO NOT BUY, BUM, STEAL, OR GO NEAR THAT SHIT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST LIKE YOUR MAMA TOLD YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE. :angry:

"It is hard to let old beliefs go. They are familiar. We are comfortable with them and have spent years building systems and developing habits that depend on them. Like a man who has worn eyeglasses so long that he forgets he has them on, we forget that the world looks to us the way it does because we have become used to seeing it that way through a particular set of lenses. Today, however, we need new lenses. And we need to throw the old ones away." theboss2002

So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will fight without danger in battles.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself I came up with this, a great analogy with our fight The boss2002

You can rationalize any reason to have just one dip. The guilt you feel will be worse than the pleasure that one dippy treat would bring.

So like I said before, I am heading to New Mexico next week to talk to youth about the dangers of smokeless tobacco. I never got a response so I am guessing no one lives in the areas I will be visiting. Hopefully though, I will be able to meet up with Gee in El Paso when I fly in.
Here is the schedule as they have it so far...
Sunday, February 17- Fly into El Paso from Houston (Southwest 24/1852- 12:00- 2:10 pm)
Monday, February 18- Animas (Bridget),
Tuesday, February 19- Cliff (8:30), Silver City (12:30),
Wednesday, February 20- Hatch (8:00 am, 9:50 am), T or C (1:00 pm- 2 presentations (1 middle school assembly, 1 high school class)
Thursday, February 21- Chaparral High (10 am),
Friday, February 22- Onate (9 am), Mayfield (10:45), Las Cruces (1:30)
Fly home (Southwest 892- 5:25-8:50 pm)
Then the following week i will fly back to New Mexico for these....
San Jon Schools: Monday, February 25, 2008 from 12:45 to 2:00 PM
Tucumcari Schools Auditorium: Monday, February 25, 2008 from 3:00 to 3:45 PM
Logan Schools: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 from 10:00 to 11:00AM
I am really looking forward to these two trips and hopefully will do some good. I would everyone of us will take the time to talk to another addict somewhere down the road. And help them see that dipping/chewing is not only an addiction, but a dangerous one.

chewie's 3 step cave plan
there's been a lot of talk about plans here lately... here's mine.
it's been put into effect many times over the last 500+ days.
feel free to copy and modify to fit your needs.
step 1: take picture of son out of wallet. look my son in the face and tell him that i love dip more than i love him.
step 2: take out killthecan.org business card, read the words and REALIZE that i'm letting each and every one of YOU down.
step 3: call each of the 60+ killthecan.org phone numbers that i've got in my phone and get PERMISSION from each and every person to have a dip.
P.S.: i've never had to go past step 1

Happy birthday JJ!

Okay, so I didn't post roll all weekend because I was on a recruiting trip down in LR, AR. I used to live there for about 6 years and my best man still resides there. He offered me the couch and my recruiting budget is minute so I took him up.
We used to tear it up every night for the 3 years we lived together. Since leaving LR, I haven't done most of the stupid stuff I used to do. Dipping was the last thing that I had to give up and you all know how that is going.
So anyway, I get down there and the craves just whammied me. I had no craves on the 7 hour drive but when I saw my boy pack his fine cut, my mouth watered. I literally caved in my head about 100 times this weekend. To make it worse, I am fighting these internal demons to dip, drink and/or smoke and my boy keeps asking me if I want any. About the third time, I nearly punched him.
See, my boy is a train wreck. And as we all know, misery loves company. He knows that the crap he puts in his body is killing or going to kill him, but he says he can't quit because of his lifestyle. He's a pussy and knows it. He has already had two court mandated stints in AA. If I didn't know he was a wreck and trying to justify his actions by having me join him, I would have put my foot in his rear.
Fact is, I have been through hell and back with that dude, but the connection to all of the folks on this site saved my quit 100 times over the past 72 hours. So thanks for holding me accountable and The Coach is still QUIT!!!!

Coach,
I'm sorry you had such a tough weekend. I'm glad you were able to keep your resolve and stay quit. You should be very proud of yourself. ;)

Don't worry I haven't caved and I won't.
I have been quite ill. It's taking alot out of me to type this. If anyone would like to call my work phone that would be easier to explain everything - I started back today - maybe I shouldn't but who's gonna pay the bills? 863-462-5114. That way someone can update what has happened. Keep me in your thoughts. It got to where I had to be in ICU. The news I was told wasn't by least the worst but it still hit me and my family hard. I actually wanted a dip sooooooo badly in the hospital. I cried because no one would buy it for me, I just said screw it and then I thought how could I let you all down.
My cellphone needs a new battery. I had called a few during my stay when I was at my lowest and even though I only received your voicemail hearing your message somehow calmed my inner soul.
I love each and every one of you! I'm not sure if chewie could set up a link about my ordeal/illness and maybe those who can't call me could write some words of encouragement.
I'm not sure what lies ahead for me.
Forgive me but it's taken quite awhile to type this out. i am tired.
Forever Your Friend,

Don't tell yourself that you are quitting forever. Just say "I won't dip today." Get through today, and then say that again tomorrow.

How do quit groups get names?
What is the precedent for signing roll for classes before your own, as a thank you for support, or is this frowned upon. I have seen very few instances of someone from an earlier class signing roll with a previous group, but I have seen a few. I would like to do it as a symbol of my support in their fight, as they have supported me. I feel like I need to demonstrate my resolve with my own group at first, but is there a point when it would be acceptable to the veterans to have a newbie post roll alongside them?

the quit groups are named by the group. by default, the group name will be "ass bandit" or some other inappropriate name that the vets deem appropriate ;) think of this as your first team building exercise ... ban together and figure out a name, or forever be known as the ass bandits.
as for posting in other groups -- post anywhere you'd like. go to other groups, ask questions, get involved in what they are talking about... it's all about a sense of community. while you group will act as your "home base" perse, you'll get a TON of value in looking at older groups (to see what's in store for you) and younger groups (to remind you of the hell that you went through)

I am on day 16 and I keep having close calls where I try to talk myself into buying a can. It's gotten a lot better as far as cravings, but now the curiosity has got me where I keep wondering what it would be like to throw in a fatty after more than two weeks quit. Anybody else battle with this and if so what has helped? I also feel like I wasn't ready to quit even though there is really no such thing as a time too early to quit but I think that idea is driving me to keep trying to convince myself it's okay to have just one. It's nice being quit, but it's also a pain in the ass at first. I need your input fellas.

first off, you are NOT alone. you are NOT the only person who's had these feelings, and quite frankly it's NOT a surprise that you're asking stuff like this.
here's how i dealt with those particular feelings.
ask yourself a couple of questions.
#1 what was your reason for quitting? is that reason still valid or has it changed in the last 16 days? i imagine that that reason is still there and still just as valid as it was on day 1
#2 is there something fundamentally different about dip today than 16 days ago? did it suddenly become NON cancer forming? did it suddenly become "good" for you? i'm guessing not
#3 do you now (after 16 days) ENJOY being a slave to a little round can?
once you answer these questions, i think you'll find that those thoughts in your head go away. realize this -- you are re-defining just about everything about yourself:
how you drive
how you handle stress
how you handle a fight with the wife
how you stay awake
how you start your day
how you end your day
what you do after dinner
what you do when you golf
how you deal with a bad putt
etc
remember... THIS is the real you. the one without dip. the one who's free.
hang in there my man... you're closer to the real YOU than you were yesterday.

I'm a few days behind you, but have already started down that road. Two things keep me going.
1) The disappointment, shame, guilt, feeling of self-worth, etc. that I will be feeling myself after I do "just one".
2) The knowledge that countless other brothers and sisters have invested a whole lot of blood, sweat, and tears here at this site to prevent just such a thing from happening. If you cave, you will have no one to blame but yourself, but you will have many who are disappointed that you did not give them an opportunity to help you through it. That is the whole point of this site. If you cannot find enough reasons to not do it by reading everything on this site, at least talk to someone before making the biggest mistake of your life. If you need someone close to you in quit date, I will PM you my number. If you need someone who is 10, 100, even 1000 days ahead of your quit date, I'm sure they will do the same, if you ask.
Ask for help!
Don't cave to the crave!
Stay quit, whatever you do, stay quit!

Don't waste your life trying it especially after 16 days. I did that too many times. And I'll tell you what, it is very disappointing when you do. You think it will be like those first few times when it made your head spin. It isn't, its just like the last one. Disgusting. Stay quit, reach out for help when you need it!

Sign up wherever you want! ask for forgiveness, it's easier to get than permission.
I post in May 08, my home group, and in June 08 to support those coming after me. I also post with the "three amigos" cause there really is only three in their group and it can get lonely there.(I actually asked if I could post there in chat one night and I've been posting ever since)
Personally, the more time and accountability I spend/have on this site, the better off I am with my quit.
Just my 2 cents

Let it be known that all are welcome (and actually encouraged) to come post roll with the Amigos. And we don't even segregate. :P

Happy Finally Friday Quitters. B)

the weekend is upon us folks!!!
stay on course this weekend friends - this place tends to die down but that DOES NOT MEAN we aren't thinking about you... be strong, use the tools that you have at your disposal. make a plan - use those phone numbers (if you don't have one, pm me and it's yours) it's NEARLY impossible to cave when you're the phone with a brother.
see you on the flip side with those dip free lips!
chewie's 3 step cave plan
there's been a lot of talk about plans here lately... here's mine.
it's been put into effect many times over the last 500+ days.
feel free to copy and modify to fit your needs.
step 1: take picture of son out of wallet. look my son in the face and tell him that i love dip more than i love him.
step 2: take out killthecan.org business card, read the words and REALIZE that i'm letting each and every one of YOU down.
step 3: call each of the 60+ killthecan.org phone numbers that i've got in my phone and get PERMISSION from each and every person to have a dip.
P.S.: i've never had to go past step 1
-
and don't forget...this weekend is one hour shorter than last weekend. Just another reason we'll all be coming out on the other end still strong in tQuit.

This quitting thing is not easy. Nothing good in life ever is though. But there are hundreds of brothers and sisters here at KTC who are committed not only to their quit, but yours as well. If you are tired of the mind games, rationalizations, denial, and other mental torture that you go through on a daily basis while trying to battle this nicotine addiction, then cut the bullshit and kill the can. Use this site. Don't go it alone. You will only continue to hurt yourself and those you love. Post roll, vent your dip rage, PM somebody, call somebody, call somebody a name, cry to somebody, bitch at somebody, help somebody in their time of need, chat, lose yourself in the wildcard section, do whatever it takes to stay quit.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results. Do not be insane about quitting. This is the most important decision you will ever make in your life. What the hell are you waiting for? Quit already!
DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO STAY QUIT!!!

Quit or Dead ? Quitting is hard. Dead is just Dead.
We can bitch and moan all we want of how life is not fair, why can't I dip without being and addict. blah blah blah.
You make the decision. Quit or Dead. I choose quit.

I saw her post but I've never talked to her before so I figured she wouldn't know who I was if I called.
Glad to see someone that knows her checking up, If she needs anything let us know.

Learning to live without chew is similar to learning how to do everything for the first time as a child. With practice and commitment, success is there for the taking.

you know what..I am getting pissed about this shit. I am posting shit in July and I have a lot of questions about getting off this shit for good. I have had a lot of days where I was a nats ass from caving. I am yet to receive any kind of support here.
Do I need to donate some$ before someone tells me why the fuck I feel so jacked after being off the shit for 11 days?
Is everyone hiding or am I at the wrong forum or what?
I want to kill something right now. I want to smash a rock with my head. I'm feeling all fucked up from not chewing and hoped I would find someone who can relate here. Do anyone of you know or have felt this way?

I'm right there with you man. I'm at day 28 and I can tell you the first half sucked bad.
You have made a great accomplishment getting to where you are.
I have been using lipton cold brew iced tea bags, but I am now winding down on that...no need anymore.
You have to re-learn how to live your life without this crap, dont forget that. And it is a battle against anger and depression during this lesson.
Good luck. Don't give up.

Just curious if any other quitters have encountered these symptoms:
heart pounding. Seems like since I have quit ( march 11 ) I can feel it, especially when I lay down.
easily winded. I went hiking near the rocky mountains two days ago and felt out of shape...which I am because i haven't been exercising much since summer.
Panic attacks. I've had them in the past, especially when under a lot of stress. And in addition to my commitment to quitting, I am also fighting through some financial troubles...not all bad...but much more stress than usual.
Mood swings. wow, talk about ups and downs.
---------------------
All that said, I have noticed that my intense laziness is subsiding. I've basically accomplished very little at work since quitting. Today is really the first day where I've felt like I wasn't a slave to this addiction.

ATV,
It seems I remember the heart pounding thing...I guess when you're head's not buzzin' due to the nic you notice things more. I would say you just need to get into better shape....after the first 3 or 4 days quit, I had tons of energy and felt like it was much easier to breathe. Panic attacks? I guess I've really never had one like I've seen described by others. Except maybe when I took off on the job, forgot my 'lil can-o-death, and couldn't buy another until lunch. :wacko: Those days are gone, I am much healthier, and can hike up any hill without my heart pounding inside my head. Life gets better, hang tough, stay clean. Drink lots of water and get some exercise. I'm sure some others have something to say about the panic attacks and heart pounding, so I hope they'll chime in on the subject.
Take Care,
Quittin'Time

SIK,
The first 2 weeks were some of the worse days of my quit. After I got past 2 wks I hit cruise control for about 20 days. I promise it will get better! You just have to stay vigilant. Stay strong. Occupy yourself with something else to try and get your mind off the dip.
You can and you will succeed! Tell yourself every day, "I will beat this addiction. I will be tobacco-free for today. I will not worry about how I'll handle my quit in the future. I will stay free today. I will concentrate on today. I am more powerful than this addiction! The nic-bitch and the devil can just go to hell! I will NOT let them run my life! I will never go back to slow suicide by using the dip. It will kill me and leave my family and friends mourning over my lifeless, cancer racked body and my disfigured and scarred face. I will not let my kids see me suffer a slow and painful death from using the dip. I am free today! Come hell or high water, I WILL NOT DIP!"
Every time you get in front of a mirror, look yourself right in the eye and say (out load if possible) "I am stronger than this addiction. My will to live is stronger than my desire to dip. Therefore I will never dip."

You're pissed, you want to kill something, bash your head in, you're all fucked up?
Sounds to me like you're right on fucking track. If you're looking for the magic cure, forget it. There is none. You just have to suffer through this shit like the rest of us did. It's your body paying you back for all the years of shoving that fucking poison into your face. You just have to hunker down, and white-knuckle it through the first couple of weeks. It can, will, and does get better. I promise you that. No little round can of shit is going to make you feel better. It will only send you back to day 1 and going through the shit again. No support? Scream louder, maybe. Hit the chat room. We're all here for you, sometimes you just have to raise a little hell to get the ball rolling. You've got rage, anger, madness? Bring it all right here, it's what we do best. Keep strong and keep clean, it's the only way out brother.
P.S. Read all the articles, HOF speeches, etc. Find ODT's website, that'll keep on the straight and narrow. _

yep... been there, done that. my heart was pounding like it was going to pop right out of my chest for a couple of days during my quit.
panic attacks? you bet. chest pains, shortness of breath, etc. took myself to the ER TWICE during my quit cause i thought i was having a heart attack -- diagnosis? anxiety.
mood swings? fuck you. (oops, there's one there ;) ) in all honesty i had these too. my wife got her head bit off so many times i'm surprised that she's still with me.
you're on the right track -- hang in there!!!

Welcome to the suck my man. Every single quitter experiences the suck to some degree. Some have it easy and they can suck balls as far as I'm concerned. I, on the other hand, had a miserable time with it. I spent a good part of the early days of my quit curled up in the fetal postion sucking my thumb calling for my mommy. But you know what, I made it. And so can you.
That time in my life is in the forefront of my memory and serves as a critical part of my quit. There is NOTHING that can make me go back to that. I don't have to, I am quit! You will never have to go through it again either, as long as you keep that shit out of your piehole! One day, one hour, one minute at a time. Whatever it takes.
Embrace the Suck!

Posting roll is your committment not to use tobacco that day. If you are looking for more support I highly reccomend jumping in the live quitters chat room. There is usually people in there and conversation flows a lot more freely than on the forums. If there is no one in there you should try and read over all the information again to remind yourself why you are quitting. And most importantly you should get some phone numbers and talk to someone.
I understand your frustration and the anger you feel. But you are making the right choice DAILY to stay tobacco free. It does get easier but it is something you have to work at everyday.

Thanks for the input everyone. Amazing how much control a pissed off brain has on your body.

Ditto. About day 11 I felt the same way and I read someone say on here that the reason you feel so sick and miserable is not because you quit using but because you started in the first place. They say take it one day at a time. For me when I was at Day 11 I was still taking it 10 mins at a time. Hang in there my friend. I'm now at day 30 and I can tell you it definitely gets better.

You can post your question in any group you want. If you are not getting the support you need in your group don't let pride be your downfall. Go into an older group and ask questions. While we may not check the new groups every single day we would be more than happy to help. Just ask.
PS Chat is also a good tool to use in a pinch. Not always someone there but you will get instant help if someone is.

Thanks to the words from Remshot and iuchewie, I can say....
I AM QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to know how to and if this is where I can go daily to post roll and continue my quit.
Please advise.

iuchewie you were nice enough to reply to me when I first got on QS back in February, but some issues came up that delayed my total commitment to my quit.
I have since realized that excuses will always be there if I let them... soooo...
TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE THANKS TO YOU AND THIS SITE

Day 31 draws to a close and I am still amazed at how strong this addiction is. Today I had a contractor stop by to estimate some work I need done. As he was driving away, I had one more question for him. He rolled down his window and I noticed two cans of cope on his passenger seat. Its like someone welded the cans to my eyelids.
Tonight I have a craving and of course I can't sleep. No need to panic ladies and gentleman, I can guarantee that I wont go back. In spite of how I feel, I still feel a thousand times better than I did when I used that crap. Its nice not hating myself for the first time in decades.
I do have some good news, and that is the panic attacks and heart pounding seem to have gone away at precisely the moment I read ichewies post that he had gone through the same thing. So it pays to post your grief here because it is comforting to see others have gone through the same battle. Kind of makes your problems go away.
And I am noticing that I am finally starting to be more productive at work. Most of my work is project based with minimal supervision so I've been able to get away with slacking for the last month, but thankfully, I have started to see the laziness go away....just in time...I might add.
Fight the good fight.

Congrats on the 31 days. That's a major accomplishment. But it's not over. It never is. The cravings will always come and they will always pass as long as you let them. The panic attacks and heart pounding may do the same, come and go. This is a life battle. Stay strong and remain vigilant in this endeavor and success will be yours. Again, way to go on that 31 !!

see you on the flip side with those dip free lips!
chewie's 3 step cave plan
there's been a lot of talk about plans here lately... here's mine.
it's been put into effect many times over the last 600+ days.
feel free to copy and modify to fit your needs.
step 1: take picture of son out of wallet. look my son in the face and tell him that i love dip more than i love him.
step 2: take out killthecan.org business card, read the words and REALIZE that i'm letting each and every one of YOU down.
step 3: call each of the 60+ killthecan.org phone numbers that i've got in my phone and get PERMISSION from each and every person to have a dip.
P.S.: i've never had to go past step 1

chewie's 3 step cave plan
there's been a lot of talk about plans here lately... here's mine.
it's been put into effect many times over the last 600+ days.
feel free to copy and modify to fit your needs.
step 1: take picture of son out of wallet. look my son in the face and tell him that i love dip more than i love him.
step 2: take out killthecan.org business card, read the words and REALIZE that i'm letting each and every one of YOU down.
step 3: call each of the 60+ killthecan.org phone numbers that i've got in my phone and get PERMISSION from each and every person to have a dip.
P.S.: i've never had to go past step 1

Is This Reality?
The darkness haunts me.
I panic .. the lump in my throat .. the shame .. the guilt .. the secret.
Tears stream down my face as I wonder the hows and whys. How could I throw away all the days of my past? Why did I torture myself about thinking into the future? What was it that made me look back as if you were my friend again? The friend whom days, months ... hell years ago had died inside of me!
Get out of my f*cking head! I'm so tired of hearing the voices telling me what is right and what is wrong ................... I toss and turn ..
Morning light awakens me. .. Is this reality?
Driving to work .. I feel the sudden panic knot up in the back of my throat!
Why did I do it? What do I tell those who know? I feel as if I am going to be sick.
My head is pounding now .. adding to the stress that each day I seem to try and overcome.
Driving home, I start to think .. I really unravel all my accomplishments because I thought I couldn't cope. .. Is this reality?
I begin to comprehend that it was just an awful nightmare .. Why are you playing with my head???
Not sure if I should smile that I didn't succumb to my old habits or cry because of my fears ...
Darkness is creeping in again ... (yawn)
My lids begin to fade away the world once more.
Ohh .. my body becomes tense
I feel the sudden pace of my heart. I look around for answers. I feel dirty because I have givin' up.
How do I explain those of the unthinkable I've done? The hurt and pain they'll feel .. the betrayal .. is this reality?
I'm not sure what's real anymore. Sometimes I feel so trapped by both worlds.
My day and night!
I suppose my darkness is my reality .. it's of my past.
Something I wish to never visit with again. .....
Yet in my head, I know it'll forever be a part of me.

It's 2am and I'm scared to close my eyes. I'm not sure what it is but here lately I've been having very vivid dreams of me caving. I mean to the point that days later my dream has convinced my brain that I have bought copenhagen .. I feel hurt .. sadden that I ruined my quit ... then I say ... wait a minute ... I didn't do this .. jesus!
Ok .. I know I'm insane! .. Send the guys with the white jacket in!!
Truth is .. I believe you know exactly what I am talking about.
-Nick
Ps. So that means you're insane too! hehe

Good morning quitters! I hope you got some sleep, Secret. The good news is that it's just a dream. I know it's depressing, I had my first the other night. But, it's just a stupid dream.
-
It's only a dream, it's only a dream, it's only a dream, it's only a dream...............
-
I believe Dip dreams only purpose must be to help us keep our quits. That's just my opinion.

Here is to a Happy Dip Free Tuesday

you know what..I am getting pissed about this shit. I am posting shit in July and I have a lot of questions about getting off this shit for good. I have had a lot of days where I was a nats ass from caving. I am yet to receive any kind of support here.
Do I need to donate some$ before someone tells me why the fuck I feel so jacked after being off the shit for 11 days?
Is everyone hiding or am I at the wrong forum or what?
I want to kill something right now. I want to smash a rock with my head. I'm feeling all fucked up from not chewing and hoped I would find someone who can relate here. Do anyone of you know or have felt this way?
I'm right there with you man. I'm at day 28 and I can tell you the first half sucked bad.
You have made a great accomplishment getting to where you are.
I have been using lipton cold brew iced tea bags, but I am now winding down on that...no need anymore.
You have to re-learn how to live your life without this crap, dont forget that. And it is a battle against anger and depression during this lesson.
Good luck. Don't give up.
I just have to say in my experience that chewing tobacco was one of THE MOST committed things that I did in my life... as sick and twisted as it was. I have not had a job, girlfriend, hobby, sport, or career for as long and/or on a regular basis as I chewed tobacco.
Giving up tobacco was basically reinventing myself, and re-orienting myself to the "real" me.
I had a bad breakup with a girlfriend a couple of years ago and it took me a SOLID 6 months to get back to normal.
Tobacco was way more a part of my life ( in terms of spirit, crutch, pick me up, slow me down, feed me/ skip meals, chemical addiction, etc. ) than my girlfriend was .... I can promise you that I am going to be taking this breakup/ quit seriously and 6 months will be just the beginning not the end.
I have read a lot about the first 10 days, 2 weeks etc. and it kinda screwed me up a little because after 30 days, 40 days.... I was still deep in the dark trenches. That is when I thought about the girlfriend breakup analogy and it has worked.
There were many times where the only thing I could do is sit in a chair, stair at the floor and sip water for extended periods of time... and that was like running a marathon and coming in first place!
I'm 69 days quit today and it has been the journey of a lifetime.
Thanks to everyone this community!

Hey HuskyFree! Congrats on reaching 69 days quit. That's an awesome accomplishment. You should come around more often, get to know some brothers on here and become involved. Remember, if you ever need anything we are here to help. Just say the word.

Hey Thanks a bunch guys. I don't have much time to be on line but I'll be around as much I can.
I am thankful these days to also have local support from my current girlfriend and friends.
I have to say it is a MAJOR relationship advancement for me to come clean with my girlfriend about chewing tobacco and quiting after hiding it for the first year we dated. She supports me fully and is understanding how powerful this addiction is.
Especially since there is only a 5-10% success rate for people quitting nicotine cold turkey.
Everyone here who is doing this should take a moment right now and fully feel how YOU HAVE BEATEN THE ODDS hands down!
This is definitely one of the most amazing things we can ever accomplish in our life, and I know that this wasn't even on our list of intentions (to get hooked on nicotine).... so just think about the next time we set our sights and goals on something?? We'll fully blow the doors off of any challenge that comes our way!

Morning Quitters !!
Not quit yet? The best time to start is RIGHT NOW !!!

A crave is NOT an instruction to dip. It will pass if you let it. No one needs to chew to go on living.
-
Hey you! Yes you.....the new guy.
This is just a play room - the good stuff is in the member only section. Join the site (it's free) and check out the quit groups. If you quit today you will be a member of the July quit group. Those guys are going through the same crap as you. Get support and lend a hand as a member.

Happy Friday Quitters. B)

Morning QT, and to all my fellow quit brothers and sisters.
Thanks for being here!

All you single digit, teenies, or 20 somethings, hang in there. You still have a rough road ahead, but it gets better.
Now that I hit my 40's I have to say I am suffering from elation more than anything. Man it is great to watch that number go up.

My nephew has just put in some landscaping and made a pretty walkway to his front door. I was talking with Tyler and tried to turn yet in doing so, I fell sideways and landed on the concrete scallop walkway. I ended up getting a hairline fracture to the right side of my pelvis. I'm in pain. My pain meds seem not to be working. I have to see my Dr. in the morning. Maybe he can give me something different. I hope.
I haven't said 'ello to QT in such a while .. soooo 'ello QT!
(for tomorrow morning) .. g'mornin' ODT, chewie and jj ..

April 22nd, 2007....one year ago today...
It comes up as 367 days in the quit calculator, but for me it was one year ago. I was on my way home from a hockey tourney in Lake Placid, NY where we had lost 2 out of our 3 games and failed to make a medal round. My wife and I were enjoying each other's company in some conversation about that day being our 12th wedding anniversary. The most important thing about that day was that I had decided that the dip in my mouth would be my last.
My stomach hurt, I knew what was coming, well at least I thought I did. First there would be the extreme irritation, then the feeling of being in the clouds, I would gain somewhere between 15 and 30 pounds, I would get frustrated, I would have a stogie to calm my nerves and then I would just accept that dip would someday be my undoing and start it up again.
So when we hit the Blandford rest area on the MASSpike, we had to make one of our 18,000 pee stops, as so elegantly described by my bride. On the way back to the truck, I spit my perfectly little formed ball of dip into my hand and threw it away. I got a look of absolute disgust from some young lady that watched me do it. It's funny when you think about, I can still picture her face perfectly. That was the end of that.
I happened to type "quit chewing tobacco" into the search bar and found killthecan.org. There I found What to Expect when quitting. (http://www.killthecan.org/yourquit/what.asp) That would be my bible for the next 70 something days. I checked it everyday, hoping that it changed but it never did. And it was always right on the money. I saw something about some forum too, but it looked some kind of myspace thing so i passed on that. Then I hit the 70 something funk so I gave it a shot.
It's pretty easy to see what happened from there, but the bottom line is that I had no idea I would find some of the best friends I could ask for. Somewhere between 4/22/07 and 4/22/08 I got my head screwed on right and this quit is IT! I'm glad to say that what I thought was going to happen was just plain wrong. I'm very proud to say "I don't do that anymore".
So if you're contemplating a quit, com'on in the quitting's fine. Join us in posting your numbers.

I need some input !!!
I am putting together a presentation for an upcoming summit. I went to the Texas Teen Tobacco Summit (http://www.cscs.txstate.edu/cyi/cyi-tobacco-conf.htm) last year to try to promote my program. This year I am planning to do a teen and an adult workshop.
The adult workshop is going to cover support. Tentatively called Support:What it Means to a Quitter. With chewies permission, this site is going to play a large role in that workshop. Also, I would like some testimonials from users of this site along with permission to use them. Things like what the site means to you. Could you have found adequate support without the site? Is the site helping you remain quit? What other support have you found and how does it compare to this site? Anything along those lines.
I could simply go to the Hall section and find enough but prefer to have it this way. So anyone willing to submit, please let me know.

Your permission to have KillThecan.Org on a big screen during a powerpoint for starters. PM me any input you have on why support is important. You can even throw in what it meant to you. ;)

The adult workshop is going to cover support. Tentatively called Support:What it Means to a Quitter. With chewies permission, this site is going to play a large role in that workshop. Also, I would like some testimonials from users of this site along with permission to use them. Things like what the site means to you. Could you have found adequate support without the site? Is the site helping you remain quit? What other support have you found and how does it compare to this site? Anything along those lines.
I could simply go to the Hall section and find enough but prefer to have it this way. So anyone willing to submit, please let me know.
i'd be more than happy to help you here odt -- what else can i/we provide to make sure that your workshop is a success?
Your permission to have KillThecan.Org on a big screen during a powerpoint for starters. PM me any input you have on why support is important. You can even throw in what it meant to you. ;)
odt, I would love to participate if you would consider using something I wrote. If so, when would you need it?

Good Morning Quitters........and for "Those About To Quit"...DO IT ALREADY! You put it off 'cause of the weekend, now you're stuck at work putting it off until the next weekend because you know you have to have the 'Ol Nico-Bitch by your side to make it through................BULLSHIT! Pull your head out, hold it high, and tell the bitch she can go straight back to hell where she came from. You don't need that shit, your family doesn't need that shit, and the sun still comes up whether you dip or not. Choose not to, today..........not later today, NOW!

Nothing, but thank you for trying to help, Curtis. I don't want to keep bothering you and Beaver. Maybe I need more numbers, I don't know .. maybe I just need to say fuck it! What good am I doing anyone? I'm the problem and I just need to solve it! I don't know where to go from here. I'm scared .. confused .. and hurt.

Seems to me this should have been in the emergency thread Nickie. You know that you are an intergral part of this community. Your posts are inspirational and have kept many a quitter on the straight and narrow.
As far as digits go, mine are certainly available but I make no special exceptions for the terms. A PM with a promise to at least call it (even if you just call and hang up immediately) before you cave.

good monday morning quitters...
i was driving in to work this AM and was sitting at a red light when i happened to turn to the guy to the left of me just in time to see him spit a nice brown wad into a pepsi bottle.
i can't even tell you how glad i am to NOT be that guy anymore... freedom is a wonderful thing.

I'll tell you this - I crave a dip almost everyday. I'll also tell you this, something happens everyday that reminds me how glad I am that I quit. Spending Mother's Day at my Brother-in-laws would usually render me agitated because I had to go a few hours without a dip (especially if it is raining, like it was yesterday, I couldn't "go for a walk"). Typically, I would argue with my wife because I wanted to leave earlier than she would I would run to the car to throw a fatty in when we left.
How nice it was to stay as long as she liked without any arguing. Even more satisfying that I did not have to hurry to pay homage to the almighty can. Stay Strong!

Why Loot, are we cross. If I thought we werent friends, I just don't think I could bare it. (Removes pistols and places them on the poker table while patting them and saying) There.....now we can be freinds again.
(Bad guy sees his cahnce, jumps up drawing his pistol. Loot guts him like a fish,,,,lots of gurgling noises from said bad guy) And the best part, Loot wipes off his knife on the bad guys clothes.
Damn fine movie.

Now that I've hit the 60's I'm feeling good...and wondering how much better the last 28 years might have been without this crap.
For the first time in my life I am not thinking how much I hate myself for doing this. I've wanted to quit for the last 27.9999 years. The only way I can forgive myself is to stay quit...which is pretty easy now actually, thanks to my savior on earth, KTC.org.
You newbies. Stay quit. Its worth the pain....and it does get better.

Sorry I didn't check in sooner. It has now been a full 24 hours w/o any dip! I know it's just the start, and I know it's only going to get harder, especially this weekend, but I'll keep checking in and keeping my eyes on the prize!
I hope everyone has a great weekend.
LET'S GO PENS!!!
-
the weekend is upon us folks!!!
stay on course this weekend friends - this place tends to die down but that DOES NOT MEAN we aren't thinking about you... be strong, use the tools that you have at your disposal. make a plan - use those phone numbers (if you don't have one, pm me and it's yours) it's NEARLY impossible to cave when you're the phone witha brother.
see you on the flip side with those dip free lips!
chewie's 3 step cave plan
there's been a lot of talk about plans here lately... here's mine.
it's been put into effect many times over the last 600+ days.
feel free to copy and modify to fit your needs.
step 1: take picture of son out of wallet. look my son in the face and tell him that i love dip more than i love him.
step 2: take out killthecan.org business card, read the words and REALIZE that i'm letting each and every one of YOU down.
step 3: call each of the 60+ killthecan.org phone numbers that i've got in my phone and get PERMISSION from each and every person to have a dip.
P.S.: i've never had to go past step 1

A Step Back
At times we may forget about our friends
especially those of our past.
It seems within the blink of an eye,
our time spent here can travel so fast.
We tend to think towards
the future; not for the moments of today.
What if we had no tomorrow and through our
fingertips life slipped away?
You might have a friend upon their face
a smile is always shown.
But if you looked a little closer
their sadness you would have known.
Our lives are hectic with stress
as weÂ’re caught up in all we do.
But words truly need to be heard,
instead of the silent, “I love you.”
As you read this, that someone might
be reaching out to know youÂ’re there.
That your friendship is true
and you genuinely care.
Some say to look out for ourselves
in order to get ahead.
Yet shouldnÂ’t we take a step back to
help those around us instead?
We need to show our friends to never fear
life, love or laughter; to never doubt
And prove to them just like our need for air;
their friendship, we can not live without.

Don't let the nic bitch ruin your holiday weekend, if you feel the urge to cave call someone from KTC to get permission 1st.
If you don't have a number then you need to make it your job to get one. Mine and countless others are available all you need to do is ask .
I'm celebrating my first dip free Memorial Day weekend in years , I'm happy about that. I don't want my happiness ruined cause any of you caved. So please don't !

Thanks to all our Veterans past and present . Have a wonderful Memorial weekend. JJ

I am trying to explain to people about this site. I am not sure I can even explain it to myself. I am in the process of buying a house, selling the current house, working a second job ( besides teaching ), and generally one big stress ball.
The interesting part is the guilt I would feel if I had to post roll about how I caved...A group of guys I barely know, who took me in to show me the way. My August group would kick my ass!!! Do I crave still? yes, about 3 - 5 time s a day. I just think about the first 3 days of hell I got over, my 2 1/2 year old daughter's smile, and my wife's never ending support................ I WILL NEVER CAVE, NOT EVER!!! I feel more alive now than I have in 10 years.........I kicked the Nic Bitch to the curb........... 'Finger'

It's hard to quit anything alone. This site gives you the ability to bond with people who have been through the same thing. (STAY CLOSE) Posting roll is your pledge to keep yourself free for another day. That keeps the quit simple and manageable, rather than worrying about never dipping again, you only worry about today. Plus it forces some integrity on to you, which helps keep you committed. (STAY STRONG) The last thing about this site is it gives you tools you can use to deal with the ups and downs of quitting, whether it is chatting, posting on the boards, or actually calling someone, there are many resources here. Read everything you can, have a plan, and follow what the other quitters here have done. (STAY QUIT)
Joining is one of the best decisions you will ever make!

I WILL NEVER CAVE, NOT EVER!!! I feel more alive now than I have in 10 years.........I kicked the Nic Bitch to the curb........... 'Finger'
If you post daily and read other posts, you will quickly reach a point where you won't even entertain the thought of caving, regardless of how crappy you feel.
Thats what this site does to you. I don't know why, it just does.

during my morning commute i happened to look over just in time to watch a dude spit a nice brown drool into a pepsi bottle... i laughed.
i don't do that shit anymore.
That makes me nauseous just thinking about...I guess that means I am really, really quit!

i spoke with nickie (mylilsecret) this AM. having a TON of personal issues which i won't get into here. suffice to say that she's having a really rough go of it but she's STILL DIP FREE.
she's damn proud or herself and i'm happy to have her as a sister on the site. without going into details there is NO REASON that anyone on these boards should cave. she's gone through hell and back and while she admits to thinking of cope, she hasn't broken down and will not.
she's drawing strength from the boards and whether she know it or not she makes my quit stronger every day.
we're thinking of you nick -- hope to talk to you soon.
love ya.

Hello all. Glad to stumble across this forum. Today is day four. The fog has lifted mostly and I don't feel quite as snappy as I did the last couple of days. I am keeping the Smokey Mountain fake dip company in business, but I guess that is something I am OK with at this point. I think I am back to realizing this is a good idea and am past the "what the hell was I thinking" phase. It doesn't feel good yet, but I know it will.

New to the community, first post. I am at 48 hours cold turkey! Didn't sleep very well last night, hope tonight is easier, but other than that i've been doing great. Hardest thing for me was going into the gas station this morning to buy my coffee and seeing the Skoal just staring at me. I was strong though and walked away with just a cup of joe. From now on coffee gets made at home!

Agree...stay away from any of the places you can get that stuff for awhile. Once you hit your 30's it won't bother you as much....
re: sleep. Sorry, you won't be getting much of that for awhile. Rough seas ahead. It's worth it so be strong and ride it out one day at a time.

Thank you 11X4 for posting this. I think everyone should read the Flag Etiquette. You see so many people who think they are doing the right thing but they really are not. I have always stressed the reading of this in Boy Scouts, but I think civilians need/should know this also.

I met a new friend, and hopefully a new quit brother, on the Jubilee Yacht Club dock in Beverly, MA... I gave him a QSX card, and a few words of encouragement, and I hope he'll pop in here to get started!

Hello.
I found this site last night. Went to the live chat. Was reminded of how chicken shit my excuses for not quitting were. Dumped a 3/4 full can of cope in the toilet. Spit out the one in my lip. Pissed on them both. I am on the gum now. Can I post roll or do I have to not be on the gum?
Thanks.

I'll let the experts decide on that...but at least you made a good first step.
You will eventually have to go to battle and it will be tough so you may as well start fighting the good fight asap.

Closer26,
Some will say don't post until your off the gum, I myself will tell you as long as your using it as suggested. Then you can post roll call. But i will also tell you that you will have to give up the nicotine at some point. So the sooner you get off all forms of nicotine and start to flush it out of your system the better off you'll be.
Or you could post both in roll call the number of days off dip and then follow it by the number of days off nicotine, you decide.
If you need any help send me a PM I'll be glad to help you out!
Congrats on your choice to quit!

It's not call "KillTheNicotine" but rather "KillTheCan"... so you've met the basic criteria. But I hope you realize that eventually it's all about nicotine... otherwise we'd all smoke instead!
You can use the gum... but why would you to quit chew?... unless you really knew subconsiously that it was really about the NICOTINE? Cigarette smokers don't chew their shit, so why do they use gum? Hmmmm... beats the shit outta me.
Why do you want it to be EASY? There's no such thing! That is a marketing ploy. We Americans have become so pussified... where is that spirit in you that cannot identify with Teddy Rosevelt? That was one tough fucker... he was an American. So was General Patton. You will eventually have to cross the line where you do, or do NOT, use nicotine. Once you decide this you will be on your way... either using it or NOT.
Why wait? Yes... the water is FUCKING cold... at first. But you have to jump in sooner or later. Don't worry, you'll get used to it. We all do. And it is SO MUCH BETTER.
Jump baby, jump.
I'll catch you.

If you're gonna use the NRT, follow the plan to the tee. Don't just be poppin' that shit in to get a nic-fixx whenever the hell you want. You gotta break free, you can do it now, or do it in however many days the "plan" is. But you still gotta do it. B)

Quit Today Closer26.
The grass is really green over here on the other side of 100 Days!
-
I have a question. first here's my story. 33 yrs old, dipping for 20 years. quit a million times, and have dumped cans into the toilet dozens of times. Bought another pack of gum which I will dump after reading all this today. The quitting in the past has been easy on many occasions for the first few days, and then I convince myself "that was easy. I can do that anytime. I can just take one dip, since I'm fishing" etc. I've also sworn off alcohol for 1 year, since I always dip when i drink. I think quitting beer will actually be the easy part.
now my question... I've heard that smoking cigs constricts blood vessels, and I was wondering if it is the smoke or the nicotine?
Does using dip do the same thing? This is important for me because I'm into weightlifting pretty seriously and constricted blood vessels would be a huge detriment.

welcome ed!
the short answer is "the nicotine" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine_gum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine_gum)
the longer answer is, you should quit right now, today... and never look back. if you've quit a million times, then you've never REALLY quit.
quit once... and be done. we can help.

My sleep sucked for at least the first 30 days. So you may as well realize that it is a tough battle to end your addiction.
Now I do sleep much better, and I don't need as much sleep. I suppose your milage may vary since so many things affect sleep.
Fight the good fight brother. Everything is better after you quit.

I quit a few times. Once for about a year. On the request of my daughter. Once I did it for that long I knew it would easy to do again. I did quit again. This time it was cancer that assisted (http://www.trashyourcan.org/mystory) my quit. Don't allow that to be your reason.
I am sure you have read chewies link by now but just in case, yes, it's the nicotine that constricts the blood vessels. It has been heavily linked to heart disease.
Once you have been quit for about 72 hours it is no longer the nicotine that controls you. It is the dip demons in your head. They'll convince you that you have proved you can quit so go ahead and dip. There is only one decision- whether you control your life or the dip demons do.

I found that I didn't require as much sleep after I quit. Probably because I wasn't wore out from my heart beating 100 beats a minute being jacked up on the nic.

yeah, that's pretty much what is was, the dip demons. I could be totally resolved to quit (i thoght) until I heard them, helping me to rationalize why it would be OK. It made perfect sense at the time.
I do want to quit, but I don't hate dipping. (does that make sense?) What I hate is feeling guilty about having the bad habits, and feeling too weak to overcome it.

just a thought- a bad habit oughta be easier to overcome than say...cancer

And the answer to your question is YES it does make sense. I don't hate dipping either. I hated that feeling of guilt and the addiction being stronger than me as well. I also hated worrying that the dip I was stuffing in my lip was going to be the bad one, I hated that I may be directly responsible for the demise of my children's father, and I hated the looks of disgust I would get. Those were the factors that led me to quit. Now, the fact that I have such good friends in this community is in that list of reasons to stay quit too.

Hi folks. I actually quit on or around the 1st after 2 weeks of playing "guess that spot on the xray" with my chiropractor.
That honestly, truly, scared the living shit out of me. That got my through the first day, but I hardly remember days 2-3-4... Oh, and the radiologist said that there was nothing of concern on the xray.
Now the problem I have is that I am SSSLLLLOOOOWWWW about everything. My thoughts all seem very labored, and I feel really dumb, like I'm on stupid pills. Without nick, I can't seem to get my shit together.
I'm not craving so much, nothing intolerable certainly, I just can't seem to function. Another thing is that I am getting depressed.
I read through the facts on the parent site. What to expect from day x through y. I feel a bit better now after reading that, so now I'm in a wait and see. Not that I have anything else to do, he he.
I'm a bit out of order and scattered, so bear with me.
I'm 37. Started smoking Marlboro reds at age 13. Basically chain smoked until 1993 (age 22) when I started to dip Kodiak. So I dipped for like 14 or 15 years.
My hope (I think it's appropriately placed) is that I haven't caused too much permanent damage to my body.
Nice to meet you folks.

welcome to the site jon! you're in the midst of what we refer to as "the fog". the good news is that it DOES end! glad to have you here!
THE FOG
you're a couple of days/weeks in... you're feeling good about your decision to quit... but some thing's just not quite right... you feel "dizzy". maybe not quite dizzy, but like you've had a beer or two. you're "off". you don't feel quite right. you can't concentrate. reading is difficult and typing is damn near impossible.
welcome to the fog ladies and gentlemen. i can tell you that it will pass. i can't tell you when. i can't tell you how foggy it will be... but i can tell you that you'll get out of it.
i quit on july 24th, 2006. my birthday was august 2nd. i literally don't remember what i did that day i was so foggy. i was playing ping pong with a co-worker that week and almost fell over... i was having trouble tracking the ball. i couldn't concentrate on work. i couldn't think about family. i was focused on my quit and how bad life SUCKED without my friend the kodiak bear.
and then something happened ~~ the fog lifted. i saw the light. i didn't need dip anymore. sure there were bad days, but i wasn't feeling like crap anymore.
you too will see the light -- you too will get out of the fog. i promise you!!! i know it's difficult to believe at this point in your quit, but trust me/us -- we know what we're talking about.
realize this... you NEVER have to go through the fog again once you get through it -- unless you cave.
you never have to feel this crappy again -- unless you cave.
you've taken the first step, you're quit and you're on the site. now take the next step and walk through the fog. you'll have a new outlook, a bunch of great friends and a dipfree life!

Hello QS Xtreme. I had been posting roll occasionally over here and always looked forward to coming in and see what was going on, read posts and get caught up with you all. But yesterday, to my surprise when I came here to post roll, my group was deleted. I kept thinking i was missing it. ALthough Jan 07 didn't post often, we still posted up at least monthly if not more. I then looked to my messages to see if one of the admins would have messaged me to explain where my group went and I saw 0 messages. Wow. Just deleted an entire group with no explanation. Then I decided that I shouldn't be surprised, this was the site that although I posted every day in here since this site was made, on my HOF date not one person came to my group to say congratulations or welcome to the HOF. But that's all fine. I just wish all of you good luck in your quits and since i don't have a home in here anymore, i won't be back.

I'm no history major, but I think the 4th is when we told the Brits to screw and the 5th is when the fight for independance began. Okay, maybe not. But today is a great day to start your fight for independance from dip!

I'd be willing to bet 11x4 is no spelling major either, but he is right about freedom from the can. Start your fight today, We will be right there with you.

Rubbing your eye while there's still some dip on your finger
Getting caught by emergency "bubble guts" after putting one in, and there's nowhere to go.
Having to carry floss or gum everywhere you go to clean out your teeth before seeing your parents/in laws/spouse/boss or who ever
Having to buy gas when you don't really need it, so the dip purchase on your credit card will show up on the receipt as "grocery" or "total sale" and not be itemized alone for your spouse to see

I'd be lying if I said quitting is easy,
but quitting is ...
daring,
powerful,
refreshing,
boisterous which makes us vulnerable and leaves an impressionable enlightenment within our soul on how we view our life today.
I mean you could continue listening to your addiction as it tells you "quitting is easy! You can quit anytime you want to! You could start it tomorrow or next week so why the hell are you going to start now when it's so easy to do?"
I'd be lying if I said quitting is easy,
but heck, what do I know ..
just a woman who dipped for 20 years and ultimately stopped listening to my addiction and quit January 4th of 2007!
So I'm asking if a woman can stand firmly in her quit, can you?
If you haven't quit, why not begin today?
Asking for help doesn't make you a loser .. it shows us you're a winner .......

Hi there! :wub:

Happy Friday Quitters...............got a plan for the weekend? If your're not quit, get quit today. B)
-
Yes, I have a plan for the weekend: make it through it. But first I have a plan for the next hour: make it through it.
Looks like the big problem for me this first day is going to be the fog. I've had messages from a few people, and I've tried to reply ... but I'm not sure my replies even make sense. Thanks for the messages, anyway!
And I'm sitting at my desk kinda staring at the computer screen. My brain's thought process goes like: "Does that really say zero inbound shipments for today? -- We NEVER have zero. -- Wait, is that Saturday's number? -- No, it says Friday. -- And is it a zero? -- Who cares?" And then I sit and stare at the number for a while longer.
Now and then, from sheer force of habit, I reach in the desk drawer for the can of Cope ... that isn't there ... and isn't going to be there! :)

There you go hour by hour, minute by minute. Power through anyway you can. And by the way they quit making Copensmacken today and they recalled all remaining cans. F that shit. You are quit. B)

it takes 72 hours to get the nic out of your body so you're well beyond that.
the habit part and the mental part take much longer to get rid of, but you're in the right place!
here's a pretty good timeline that will let you know what to expect:
http://www.killthecan.org/yourquit/what.asp (http://www.killthecan.org/yourquit/what.asp)
-
remember... monday isn't the start of another dreaded work week... it's the beginning of another DIP FREE week!

Yay! That makes Monday a HAPPY DAY!!
And, in a logical progression, every Monday after that is even happier!
Woohoo! :lol:

I would second Chewie's response to you but also caution you a little bit:
What you are doing is hard, that's why not everybody can do it. For me, one of the hardest things was experiencing regressions in how I felt. I had assured myself that each day would be easier.... and thats just not the case.
The timeline Chewie directed you to is good because it takes this into account, but this is certainly not an exact science. I had what felt to me like the same physical "craves" on occasion when I was well past 100 days. I felt downright disappointed that I had put so much time and effort into this, but still felt this way.....
The point, however, is that all of the peaks and valleys of how you feel with your quit (be it day to day, week to week, month to month) ALL TREND IN THE SAME GENERAL DIRECTION:
It gets easier over time. Case closed, every quitter will tell you the same.
Life doesn't always work this way. With quitting it does. And that is a pretty fucking great thing about quitting.

Today is as good a day as any to get your quit started! Let's get to it !

Just thought I'd share some of the madness going on in my neck of the woods last night. I was off in the restroom taking care of some important business. I hear this booming/rolling sound. Didn't think much of it. Just figured it was the neighbor jacking around with his tractor or something. Then I hear my wife scream out my name from outside. Not just a loud holler, but a blood curdling scream. So out the door I run, barefoot, boxers (dark green polka-dot ones-not gay, but not the best street clothes). Anyway I see this late model Chevy PU rolling end over end and landing in the machine lot next door (missing 2 grain silos and a fuel tank.) So shit, here I run barefoot down the pavement into the gravel lot. The truck is trashed, still running, and I hear crying. A beautiful little girl of no more than 3 or 4 years old crawls from the wreckage. I scoop her up, she's crying and screaming unmercifully. I pass her off to my wife, and she instantly calms down and puts her head to her shoulder. She keeps muttering she wants her dolly. However, she can't have her dolly, as it lays upon the ground soaking a a pool of the driver's blood. Somewhat stunned I head over to the wreckage. The truck is still running so I peel away the smashed windshield with one of the fence posts knocked out by the wreck and worm my hand in to shut off the ignition. The sounds of sirens are heard in the distance. Thank god....here I am barefoot, no clothes, not really knowing what to do with this guy once I get to him. But, myself and now the neighbor peel away the rest of the windshield to find this fellow still alive hanging upside down in his seatbelt. Do I cut him loose and let him fall on his head? Do I leave him the hell alone untill the paramedics arrive? I couldn't help but notice this poor bastard smelt like a brewery. He also had a dip hanging from his mouth. Don't ask me why that seemed important. Blood everywhere, and I notice this. Shit. Had this been the reason he went off the road. Fumbling with the can. Why was he drunk and had this little girl with him? Going to town to get another can? Anyway, to sum things up. The emergency crews arrived and cut him out, med-flighted him to the nearest hospital. The little girl (Alexis) still clinging to my wife's shoulder would not let go, would not talk to the police, would not let the paramedics go near her. Just my wife, that's all she wanted. So, she accompanies the little girl to the HP cruiser, then into the ambulance and all the way to the hospital. For this I am so proud of her to accompany and comfort a total stranger's child in her time of need. My wife is a hero and a saint. She had and bump on the head and a couple of scratches, nothing more. Come to find out, this was not the driver's daughter, not the driver's truck, and he was over the legal alchohol limit, and the little girl had no car seat. This guy was house and baby-sitting for the mother while she was at work. What a fucking worthless bastard. Endangering this little girl's life while on the road for no reason other than to get more beer or maybe get a new can of death to feed his addiction. This is proof that God looks after idiots and little children. So today I sit here and reflect upon all of this while still feeling the shards of glass in my feet. Wondering what the emergency crews thought of some crazy bastard running around in green polka-dot underwear. So the message here is: Watch what the hell you are doing, buckle those kids up properly, don't fucking drink and drive, don't fucking dip and drive in case you wreck and look like a dumbass with spit and blood all over your face and a big giant lip turd hanging out of your mouth. Look out for your kids and look out for your life, take care of both the best you can, and try to help someone along the way. :)

This is proof that God looks after idiots and little children. So today I sit here and reflect upon all of this while still feeling the shards of glass in my feet. Wondering what the emergency crews thought of some crazy bastard running around in green polka-dot underwear. So the message here is: Watch what the hell you are doing, buckle those kids up properly, don't fucking drink and drive, don't fucking dip and drive in case you wreck and look like a dumbass with spit and blood all over your face and a big giant lip turd hanging out of your mouth. Look out for your kids and look out for your life, take care of both the best you can, and try to help someone along the way. :)
Amen, Brother! Glad to hear everyone came out relatively unscathed. Thanks for sharing. Oh, did you ever get a chance to wipe?

Just thought I'd share some of the madness going on in my neck of the woods last night. I was off in the restroom taking care of some important business. I hear this booming/rolling sound. Didn't think much of it. Just figured it was the neighbor jacking around with his tractor or something. Then I hear my wife scream out my name from outside. Not just a loud holler, but a blood curdling scream. So out the door I run, barefoot, boxers (dark green polka-dot ones-not gay, but not the best street clothes). Anyway I see this late model Chevy PU rolling end over end and landing in the machine lot next door (missing 2 grain silos and a fuel tank.) So shit, here I run barefoot down the pavement into the gravel lot. The truck is trashed, still running, and I hear crying. A beautiful little girl of no more than 3 or 4 years old crawls from the wreckage. I scoop her up, she's crying and screaming unmercifully. I pass her off to my wife, and she instantly calms down and puts her head to her shoulder. She keeps muttering she wants her dolly. However, she can't have her dolly, as it lays upon the ground soaking a a pool of the driver's blood. Somewhat stunned I head over to the wreckage. The truck is still running so I peel away the smashed windshield with one of the fence posts knocked out by the wreck and worm my hand in to shut off the ignition. The sounds of sirens are heard in the distance. Thank god....here I am barefoot, no clothes, not really knowing what to do with this guy once I get to him. But, myself and now the neighbor peel away the rest of the windshield to find this fellow still alive hanging upside down in his seatbelt. Do I cut him loose and let him fall on his head? Do I leave him the hell alone untill the paramedics arrive? I couldn't help but notice this poor bastard smelt like a brewery. He also had a dip hanging from his mouth. Don't ask me why that seemed important. Blood everywhere, and I notice this. Shit. Had this been the reason he went off the road. Fumbling with the can. Why was he drunk and had this little girl with him? Going to town to get another can? Anyway, to sum things up. The emergency crews arrived and cut him out, med-flighted him to the nearest hospital. The little girl (Alexis) still clinging to my wife's shoulder would not let go, would not talk to the police, would not let the paramedics go near her. Just my wife, that's all she wanted. So, she accompanies the little girl to the HP cruiser, then into the ambulance and all the way to the hospital. For this I am so proud of her to accompany and comfort a total stranger's child in her time of need. My wife is a hero and a saint. She had and bump on the head and a couple of scratches, nothing more. Come to find out, this was not the driver's daughter, not the driver's truck, and he was over the legal alchohol limit, and the little girl had no car seat. This guy was house and baby-sitting for the mother while she was at work. What a fucking worthless bastard.

The little girl was just fine (bumps/bruises). The driver was in serious condition (internal injuries)............and yeah I think there was a reflex-wipe prior to all this insanity, don't really remember. _

No other traffic, flat grade on the road........just going to fast, not paying attention, and drunk. What a dumbass! If the guy pulls through this, the little girl's parents will surely set him back a bit if they get ahold of him. Just a bunch of BS that could have been avoided. Still sort of in awe about the whole deal.....what if my boy was on his bike going down to the trail? What if my daughter went to check the mail? Lotsa what-if's. _

Oh Canada
By: Leighton Krahn (tamado)
My name is Leighton and I am a nicotine addict. So, what motivates a person to take on their addiction? What separates an addict from someone with a bad habit? What is there to gain, what is there to lose? These are all questions we asked ourselves in one way or another when we decided to quit. There are a few primary motivators for a quit, some seem to end better than others. The main categories for me are control, health, financial and peer pressure. It seems there are many people that take on quitting (or overcoming addiction) for one of these reasons and some quits seem to stick better than others. They say you have to be ready to quit, but I also believe you can move yourself to a place where you are ready to quit if you want to quit. In other words, wanting to quit and being ready are not the same thing. When you “want to quit” – a term used by most nicotine addicts followed by “it’s hard” or “I can’t” – you have not yet found your motivation. I find that when someone wants to quit, they need to focus on a reason why quitting is important to them and use that motivation as a goal. If it is health, you have to see yourself healthier in the future. If it is money, you see what your ill-spent funds will be better served on and so on. Until you pick a strong motivating factor and truly believe you want to see your way to the other side of it, you will not stay quit.
Control was truly what made me want to quit. I have focussed on the Garth Brooks line “I have never let anything have this much control over me, I’ve worked too hard to call this life my own...” throughout my quit. I have also thought how God is the only one who should be able to control me as much as this addiction and that reminds me to pray. I was avoiding occasions, manufacturing times to feed my addiction and generally giving complete control of my time and life to nicotine. When I worked in a corporate office, I squandered time outside with the smokers. When I went to visit my parents I walked the dog 12 times a day – I think the dog wanted me to screw off by the end of a weekend. If I needed to travel for something I would find a reason why it was better to go alone so I could dip in the car without being nagged by my wife. Whenever a situation presented itself, my mind would start calculating how Copenhagen could be accommodated. So, control was and is my long term motivation. The reason I am ready to quit.
The next motivating category that I see is health. This can be a powerful motivator for some, but a short term one for others. The reality is, we abuse our bodies in many ways in our life and it has to hit and maintain a certain level of reality before it can be the motivation for a long term quit. I have met some great quitters on qs.org and ktc.org who have motivated by health reasons. I think of ODT who’s struggle with cancer has made him a motivation to others. Who has taken his battle with a hideous disease and used it to give to others. I think of people like chewlessjim who live a healthy and active lifestyle that is not congruent with a nicotine addiction. I think of Rose who came as close to a full cancer diagnoses as any of us would ever want to come. Health concerns can make you ready but can also be a trap. For many, when the fear of immediate health concerns are alleviated (it was just a bump, coldsore, etc) the motivation is also gone and they decide that one more will not hurt. All of us quitters know where that leads – right back where we left off.
We often think of peer pressure as a negative thing, but it can be equally positive. Who are our peers? Our co-workers, our friends, our spouses and families, our congregations, etc. When nicotine and tobacco are de-normalized our peers begin to tell us in one way or another that what we are doing is disturbing to them. They see us wasting our time and money for something disgusting. They see the control it has in our lives. When they are honest with us, it is like a mirror reflecting our lives and we cannot help see nicotine for the beast it really is. A lot will say we have to quit for ourselves and to a degree that is true, but part of being self-serving is maintaining our relationships. If nicotine is causing my wife to not want to kiss me, my buddies to not want to drive with me (and stare at my spitter) and me to be distracted when visiting with others because I do not want to go dip that is a consequence of my choice to feed my addiction. If I do not like that consequence I can chose to take on the addiction so I can restore right relationships with those people. The less distractions there are, the more honest the relationships can be and that makes them fulfilling.
So what motivated me to start writing this? Well, I saw a sign in my local convenience store to warn people of the new prices. It read “Smokeless Tobacco: $10.90 +tax”. Which by the way is just sales tax, there are many taxes in the price already. That works out to $12 even for a tin. Now before you go thinking that is high, remember, I am Canadian. The tins here are 15g to the US 35g tin making that price the equivalent to $28 for a tin in the US. We have all said at some point that we will stop when the price hits $x.xx. What is x? Well, it is a moving target. It is always just high enough to console ourselves. Addictions do not respond to money well, they do not care if they break you. Money does; however, come more into play when you are already quit. When I realize that I would be spending over $20/day if I were still dipping I cannot imagine how insane it would be to go back. Yet the night I saw that and started thinking about it I had a dream I dropped a big fat dip in my mouth. I went in the store and saw the sign but decided I would never really go back at those prices so I would give it a try. I figured I better not risk it and buy my brand so I played it safe and got some goofy skoal flavour. Surely that would not get me back on my addiction. I threw in a big fat dip and could feel the calm surge through me. Man, I felt confused when I woke up.
I am trying to decide how to draw a point out of the money issue and here is what I find interesting. Canada has 100% publically funded health care. In other words, you get sick, you do not pay. The spin doctors talk about what an incredible burden the “smokers” (they never talk about dippers) put on the healthcare system but they fail to mention the revenue. The reason prices are so high here are the government putting on hidden “sin taxes” as we like to call them. They sell the bill in the government houses by showing how it will deter people from taking up “the habit”. They treat it like it is gum or jerky or nail biting. A habit, so if you raise the price, people will break the habit. The reality is it is not breaking a habit, it is confronting an addiction and by strictly raising the prices the government is just extorting the weak. As long as we do not take on nicotine as an addiction, we will not overcome it.
So what made you ready to quit? What keeps you ready? We must live in a perpetual state of readiness. We remain alert to the enemy. We are at war and if we grow weary and lay down our arms and stop fighting then it is just a matter of time until the enemy finds us in a vulnerable state and takes control of us again. Continual readiness is called vigilance. We hold vigil as quitters. That is the power of the support networks. In war, everyone must rest. At times I grow weary and need to lean against a tree and take a drink of water. When I need to do that, I ask one of my fellow soldiers to keep an eye out for me and I hope to do the same for him or her sometime. Let us all fight tirelessly, let us support the weak and weary, let us admit when we are weak and weary and swallow our pride. We shall overcome as a united force against addiction and a society that teaches us instant self-serving gratification.

Oh Canada
By: Leighton Krahn (tamado)
My name is Leighton and I am a nicotine addict. So, what motivates a person to take on their addiction? What separates an addict from someone with a bad habit? What is there to gain, what is there to lose? These are all questions we asked ourselves in one way or another when we decided to quit. There are a few primary motivators for a quit, some seem to end better than others. The main categories for me are control, health, financial and peer pressure. It seems there are many people that take on quitting (or overcoming addiction) for one of these reasons and some quits seem to stick better than others. They say you have to be ready to quit, but I also believe you can move yourself to a place where you are ready to quit if you want to quit. In other words, wanting to quit and being ready are not the same thing. When you “want to quit” – a term used by most nicotine addicts followed by “it’s hard” or “I can’t” – you have not yet found your motivation. I find that when someone wants to quit, they need to focus on a reason why quitting is important to them and use that motivation as a goal. If it is health, you have to see yourself healthier in the future. If it is money, you see what your ill-spent funds will be better served on and so on. Until you pick a strong motivating factor and truly believe you want to see your way to the other side of it, you will not stay quit.
Control was truly what made me want to quit. I have focussed on the Garth Brooks line “I have never let anything have this much control over me, I’ve worked too hard to call this life my own...” throughout my quit. I have also thought how God is the only one who should be able to control me as much as this addiction and that reminds me to pray. I was avoiding occasions, manufacturing times to feed my addiction and generally giving complete control of my time and life to nicotine. When I worked in a corporate office, I squandered time outside with the smokers. When I went to visit my parents I walked the dog 12 times a day – I think the dog wanted me to screw off by the end of a weekend. If I needed to travel for something I would find a reason why it was better to go alone so I could dip in the car without being nagged by my wife. Whenever a situation presented itself, my mind would start calculating how Copenhagen could be accommodated. So, control was and is my long term motivation. The reason I am ready to quit.
The next motivating category that I see is health. This can be a powerful motivator for some, but a short term one for others. The reality is, we abuse our bodies in many ways in our life and it has to hit and maintain a certain level of reality before it can be the motivation for a long term quit. I have met some great quitters on qs.org and ktc.org who have motivated by health reasons. I think of ODT who’s struggle with cancer has made him a motivation to others. Who has taken his battle with a hideous disease and used it to give to others. I think of people like chewlessjim who live a healthy and active lifestyle that is not congruent with a nicotine addiction. I think of Rose who came as close to a full cancer diagnoses as any of us would ever want to come. Health concerns can make you ready but can also be a trap. For many, when the fear of immediate health concerns are alleviated (it was just a bump, coldsore, etc) the motivation is also gone and they decide that one more will not hurt. All of us quitters know where that leads – right back where we left off.
We often think of peer pressure as a negative thing, but it can be equally positive. Who are our peers? Our co-workers, our friends, our spouses and families, our congregations, etc. When nicotine and tobacco are de-normalized our peers begin to tell us in one way or another that what we are doing is disturbing to them. They see us wasting our time and money for something disgusting. They see the control it has in our lives. When they are honest with us, it is like a mirror reflecting our lives and we cannot help see nicotine for the beast it really is. A lot will say we have to quit for ourselves and to a degree that is true, but part of being self-serving is maintaining our relationships. If nicotine is causing my wife to not want to kiss me, my buddies to not want to drive with me (and stare at my spitter) and me to be distracted when visiting with others because I do not want to go dip that is a consequence of my choice to feed my addiction. If I do not like that consequence I can chose to take on the addiction so I can restore right relationships with those people. The less distractions there are, the more honest the relationships can be and that makes them fulfilling.
So what motivated me to start writing this? Well, I saw a sign in my local convenience store to warn people of the new prices. It read “Smokeless Tobacco: $10.90 +tax”. Which by the way is just sales tax, there are many taxes in the price already. That works out to $12 even for a tin. Now before you go thinking that is high, remember, I am Canadian. The tins here are 15g to the US 35g tin making that price the equivalent to $28 for a tin in the US. We have all said at some point that we will stop when the price hits $x.xx. What is x? Well, it is a moving target. It is always just high enough to console ourselves. Addictions do not respond to money well, they do not care if they break you. Money does; however, come more into play when you are already quit. When I realize that I would be spending over $20/day if I were still dipping I cannot imagine how insane it would be to go back. Yet the night I saw that and started thinking about it I had a dream I dropped a big fat dip in my mouth. I went in the store and saw the sign but decided I would never really go back at those prices so I would give it a try. I figured I better not risk it and buy my brand so I played it safe and got some goofy skoal flavour. Surely that would not get me back on my addiction. I threw in a big fat dip and could feel the calm surge through me. Man, I felt confused when I woke up.

Nice work Chewie. And I have no doubt it was WORK.

thanks for the props everyone... you all make my quit stronger daily!
it's friday quitters... are you ready for the weekend dip free?!?!?

Skoal is no longer a part of me. No longer does my addiction to skoal play a role in my life and decision making. I now know what freedom is.
Would you like to know how it feels to become free? Quit tobacco and lose the control it has over you.
I promise that like any other fight for freedom, you will endure pain and suffering. It is a battle definately worth fighting for. We will fight for you and with you. Come join us and be free

I still need help guys !!!!
I am putting final touches on my adult presentation for Tues and Weds. at the Texas teen Tobacco Summit. My workshop is about support from a quitters standpoint. I want to hear how different web sites, like this one, family, friends or whatever means you used helped you. Send me a message on here if you would like to help. Thanks !!

My Dear Friends,
I want to share with you something that I wrote for a presentation that ODT is giving today and tomorrow. I wrote this as an insight through the eyes of a female dipper. I hope if a female is reading this. please know you can join this site. You can prove that you are stronger than smokeless tobacco or any other addiction because some of us have more than one to conquer. Let this site help guide you.
Good luck in whatever choice you make,
mylilsecret aka Nickie
My name is Nicole and I used Copenhagen for 23 years. What at first became I simple dare turned into my reasoning to cope with an abusive childhood. I kept it hidden very well as most female dippers do. The personification that dipping is only used by the male population is simply untrue. Unlike cigarette smoking, women have concerns within their social circles about using. ItÂ’s perceived as being unattractive. Many have low self-esteem and less desire to ask for help. I believe more educational and prevention messages should be associated to female dippers to prove they are not alone.
I thought I was alone. For years I tried to quit, only to be thrown back into the clutches of my addiction. You canÂ’t force, bargain, trade or use ultimatums to help someone see their addiction. ThatÂ’s the hardest part of the disease.
If you know a female wanting to quit, let them know they’re others with the same problem. It‘s embarrassing to come out and admit it. I know it's had taken me 23 years to finally say, "I was a woman Copenhagen user." There is support and this website proves just that. Through this website and quitting smokeless tobacco I found something, I found me! Each group works as a team through accountability and using the term, “One day at a time,” I can’t imagine what my life would be like today had I not stumbled upon this website.
Female quitters need help. If I show just one that it can be accomplished then maybe more will follow.
Sincerely,
Nicole Lynch
Day 574
If Given The Chance
I bet - if given the chance - I could seduce you into using me even if it's just one time.
Then after you've tried me I know you wouldn't want anything else other than myself.
I bet - if given the chance - I could make you believe I'm a loyal friend; some sort of confidante.
Sooner or later I'll be able to manipulate, hell I'll be able to isolate you from family even friends.
I bet - if given the chance - I could ravish you with deadly poisons pretending they're great pleasures.
And after all those years of letting me control your every move you'll see what I'm truly after ...... death.
I'm your greatest fear. I'm your addiction.
I bet - if given the chance - you'll begin to feel guilty from hurting so many because of your worship for me.
But after I am gone they'll learn to forgive you but never truly understand how or why this could've happened.
I bet - if given the chance - you'll begin to forget me. However, I'll try my best to wreck havoc on you once more.
You see, within the darkest corner of your mind, every so often I'll beg you to give me another try.
I bet - if given the chance - you'll begin to see hope that you can live your life without me.
And after all those years of letting me control your every move you'll see what I truly dread ...... life.
It's my greatest fear. It's your recovery.

You've seen me on here more lately especially the last three nights .. I'm in a manic episode and sleepless nights is something you have when enduring this. And when I mean sleepless .. I mean wide awake. Nothing can stop it! The one medication I take at night, Klonopin, makes you sleepy. I take that and a sleeping pill and I don't feel a bit tired. Yes, looking at me, my body is drained and worn down but my head/brain whatever to hell it is just won't let go until it wants to or to the point of no return and finally my head says, "Ok, I think I'll sleep now." It used to be really hard for my husband to understand how my body could function and be able to go through another 24 hours without my eyelids closing an inch.
Before I knew I had bipolar, I didn't know why at times I just couldn't sleep. I just thought I was battling insomina. I'd lie awake in bed staring into the darkness, umm ok ... now 10 mins later I am still laying there trying my best to think of something to dream about .. 20 mins now I've rearranged my legs and arms in so many positions that my pillows have ended up on the floor or on top of my husband. By this point, I just turn the tv on until morning arrives. Then I am off with my day like I had Zzzz ... all night. I've tried soft music .. my favorite is Enya. I've taken hot baths with lavender. I've tried to read and drink warm milk. I hate to actually admit to this but I would drink Nyquil and nothing. You have no power!
It gets tougher as days and nights pass the longest sleep episode was a few years ago and it was five days and four nights .. fifth day in the afternoon I crashed. I looked like hell. I felt like hell at that point. In the beginning it's just not being able to sleep but you get bursts of energy. One minute I could yawn after eating lunch because of two nights with no sleep and then BAM! I've got to do something or I'll get an idea or I'll write! My head takes control and throws me into overload. It's hard to explain!
You've heard me say this before, I know this is a quit site but you are my outlet, my coping skill, hell this is where I ramble. I rant and rave about my life. As a closet dipper, I'd love these nights. I could dip endlessly with no worries.
I don't dip now and this is my first real battle with the mania (sleeping part) since my quit began. I am typing this at 1am on my third night without any shut eye. And I have no indications if I'll finally crash or end up just lying there wondering how I am going to make it through. That's when I'll just get fed up and turn on my laptop and write. I know there might be quitters out there that probably get sick of reading what I write but then there are the ones that read through my post and somehow can relate. Maybe not to my illness but working through an issue without having a dip.
Last night, hell early morning I got a PM about a person needing help. This person wanted to pick a quit date and use Nic gum or something else to ease into their quit. I gave them my opinion and politely said I picked quit days and it never worked.
Hell ... I picked quit birthdays and anniversarys, quits for each New Year even quit dates while carrying my precious little one within my belly. Those days came and those days went but I still held that damn can and packed another one in. This person I felt was using dip as a crutch to cope with their depression .. in return ... subconsciously ... that depression may be growing because of the inability to quit. After posting back, I laid in bed thinking even after picking a quit day if that person went back to using smokeless tobacco. I hoped that one day they would find it in their heart the strength to quit and believe they can do it.
I saw tonight a reply!
Today this person quit! Today is Day One for my quit sister!
I couldn't be any happier knowing some may scroll past my posts but some may actually read what I have to say and take something away from it!
Ok, It's after two! I'll hush for now .. watch some tv and hope tonight I'll get a little shut eye!
-mylilsecret
Ps) Here's your new quit sister!
hi you all. this is maushumi17. today is my first day to quit, and i think i belong to this quit group. let me know if i am right. if not, then how can i get into a quit group.

Nikki I hope you were able to get some sleep. Your posts may help someone else, and hopefully you too. So keep them coming.Your in my prayers JJ

Well, day 2 has started and I'm feeling really good still. A little on edge but not ready to kill just yet.
Got a full weekend of working on projects planned to stay busy...Its going to be so freakin hot I don't even want to think about dipping anyway.
I think the main thing that's going to help me is staying busy...There was nothing better to me than coming in the house after my girls were in bed and plopping down in my chair with a fat lip and watching the discovery channel.
Second thing is excersise...I've been running 2.5 miles about 3-4 times per week and that helps out a lot.
Next weekend is going to be a true test...float trip 'boob' and camping with the only one of my friends that does dip...again, not really worried about it but someone on here might be getting a call for help 'help'
What's everyone else doing this weekend?
-
PoorBoy,
I will be doing projects as well.. We had about 3 hailstorms here last couple months and insurance man gave me some $$ So now I got plenty to do, maybe sneak in a nighttime fishing trip. My advice-- sunflower seeds,junkfood, jerkey anything that will stimulate your mouth..
good luck--give me a holler for an ass whoopin "how big a boy are ya?"

I can't wait to shock someone with the news that I quit that shit. The only problem is, I was so vocal about quitting I'm not sure if anyone out there didn't know I was quitting. We'll have to wait and see.
Have a good weekend and enjoy the family.

Never Give Up
Remember to never give up and never have doubt.
Those ups and downs is what lifeÂ’s all about.
You try and try your absolute best
and somehow struggle like all the rest.
At times it seems you just canÂ’t do it.
Yet all it takes is putting your mind to it.
The mistakes that you might make along the way,
create a stronger person to defeat another day.
You see, no one can tell you the steps you must take.
Whether right or wrong; itÂ’s the choices you make.
Believe in yourself and all the power that you hold.
Aspirations are created by the young and the old.
But it has to start here and it has to start now.
Of course youÂ’re sitting there wondering how?
It begins when you set this extraordinary example for others.
Yes, strangers at first; end up quit sisters and brothers.
Maybe youÂ’re struggling addiction and needing some belief.
Simply asking for help begins your journey towards relief.
Quitting means you want this. ItÂ’s coming from the heart.
DonÂ’t wait until tomorrow when right now you can start.
If you take this chance. IÂ’d promise youÂ’ll see
YouÂ’re not alone. YouÂ’re standing with me.

THE DECISION
Quitting dip comes down to one thing... a decision to quit. I can't spell it out any simpler than that. Sure, it's much easier for me to say that today now that I've quit than it would have been on day 1 or day 10, but every day that goes by, I believe it more and more.
I'm not here to tell you that the decision is easy to make because it's certainly not. There are some days when the decision is downright nearly impossible to make. But it's a decision that needs to be made on a daily basis.
There are many things in our lives and in our quits that we have no control over. We can't control the weather, we can't control how people view us, we can't control what happens at the office, we can't control whether we are sick. In our quits, we can't control the withdrawal that we go through, we can't control WHAT symptoms we'll experience nor can we control how long those symptoms persist.
To look at it that way doesn't look good. But remember... the decision.
You can DECIDE to put a dip in.
You can DECIDE to NOT put a dip in.
You can DECIDE whether you want to continue to be a slave to the can.
You can DECIDE to LIVE your life WITHOUT dip.
I've had conversations with other quitters and cavers. I've been asked what makes me different (than someone who's struggling). The answer is simple... I made my decision. I'm not any stronger, I'm not any better and quite frankly I'm not any different. I'm an addict just like all of you... I made my decision. I made my decision this morning just like I have every morning since July 24th, 2006. I'll make a decision tomorrow as well.
When you're thinking that quitting isn't possible... when you're thinking that everything is out of your control and you NEED your dip... make a decision.
You're in a place where people can help you once you're made your decision but we can't make it for you. We're here to help.
DECIDE to let us help.
DECIDE to not dip today.
DECIDE to live life WITHOUT dip or chew.
DECIDE to live.
This thing is simple -- it's decision time my friend... have you made yours?

Hey, just curious...anyone have any data on weight loss or gain when quiting the use of nicotine...I understand that we may start to replace dip with food or snacks but what about metabolic changes that are caused when nic is removed from your system?

Thanks Chewie, I have to say that day 6 has actually been a little harder than 1-5. Not thinking about going out to get a can...but I sure thought the worst was over.

if you're quit is like mine you'll actually have a couple of those "where the hell did this come from" days for quite a while. you'll have a few good days followed by an "oh shit" day and then a couple more good days. you won't realize it, but over time the good days will start to outnumber the bad ones and before you know it you'll get to a point where you haven't craved in quite a while...
like i said, you won't realize it in the moment, but when you look back you'll realize that you're a hell of a lot better off then you were a couple of weeks/days ago.

Understand. Tonight is going to be a test as it's the first time I'm playing ball without a dip. Shouldn't be too bad...since I'm the only dumb ass on our team that is an ex-dipper...what the fuck was I thinkin all these years. :wacko:

Man this place is freakin dead. Anywho...last night I had my first softball game that was dip free in years...can't say it affected my play one way or the other...I still sucked.
Hope everyone continues to do this thing we call quit!

Just somethin to think about :
"Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things."
Joe Paterno
....ONE day .... ONE Promise ....ACCOUNTABLITY to your Brothers and Sisters here .....
... give this to yourself every morning and you will have the strength of all your QUIT brothers and sisters when the urges and temptations and cravings start to sway you towards that little lie that flickers across our minds every so often "just ONE dip ... " "just ONE smoke" .....as they say...your "ONE " away from starting all over again ....BE strong (you have given your word this morning...not for a lifetime...just for today) Be well (get online here when you can and HELP someone else that is going thru this with you !) and most importantly ....BE QUIT !!!
... then wake up tommorrow and do it again .....
Make the decision to make TODAY your Day one .....and do it again tomm !! one day QUIT at a time .....Lucky #13 today is your day !!

There are three important things to know about the past. One, it's over. Two, you can't change it. And three, the only thing keeping it alive is the energy you put into holding on to it. Letting go of the past can be one of the most liberating events in your life. It means allowing what was to be what it was -- and also, what it was not. It doesn't necessarily mean forgetting, but it does mean forgiving -- both yourself and others.

I feel so good going to bed at my own will. Not at the will of my addiction, not at the will that drove me to stay up long enough to have two to three dips while my family slept.
What's keeping you from quitting? .... It's worth taking the chance! Believe me and others, we have freedom from the freakin' tin can who's used to control our every move.
Want freedom? We can show you how.

This is an excellent point! If you quit right now, you'll feel mostly human again by Monday. There's never a bad time to quit, but I think Fridays and Saturdays are excellent quit days!

I quit a 10 year cigarette habit with the help of dip. It was unplanned to "switch", but nevertheless I did it and am almost 16 months smoke-free. My addiction to cigarettes was much different than to dip. Funny how that is. I can count on my hands how many times I went more than 3 days without a cigarette in all my attempts(most lasted a few hours).
Being a dipper for a year and half now, I have had numerous attempts that average about 3-4 days. One being 3 weeks...etc. I think the difference is these websites. I never sought support for quitting cigs, but roll call is an ingenious idea. It places pressure on me to stay quit... but I have still been able to piss on it by saying screw it and buying a tin.
This is because in all honesty I can't get wood when I try to quit dip. With cigs, I just craved the tobacco itself. With dip, although I do enjoy the feeling it gives me, it gives me an incredible libido, unmatched by any drug I've used. I brought this up before on here and it was ignored. I brought it up on lite and they call me a troll. If it is a moot issue, why is every other commercial for Viagra or Enzyte, some boner producing pill? Especially at age 28, I should feel that this is a legitimate compaint. I guess it's something we should only talk about with our doctor, but I'm stubborn and won't see one. We all have differences in our addiction, but honest to Christ, am I the only one who experiences this problem, or just the only one who will talk about it on a forum?

Just reading through some of the shit I haven't seen since I've been gone makes me sick. This site has only gotten worse. It is based strictly on shock value. You guys have nothing interesting to say except, "fuck you homo fags", "you are a fuckin bitch" and so forth. Nothing about this site is original, the idea of roll call was borrowed, setting up your own website on invision takes no brains. You could make it more interesting by having some intelligent coversation. I have used 3 different ip's when signing onto this site. Anyone with half a brain could have kept me away, seeing as how I am not trying that hard. You didn't ban me from chat until I entered in for the 100th time. I just want all 7 admins and moderators to admit they have shit for brains and only stick to talking points.

First of all, if this site is so bad, why do you keep coming back? Second, "...intelligent conversation" is impossible when someone as moronic as yourself is involved. Finally, the admin/moderators are only supporting the same beliefs that created this website (hell, that created this country) - Freedom of Speech. Unfortunately, Freedom of Speech sometimes breeds freedom of stupidy.

And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

Congrats Ready
Post from Ready's Introduction Thread.
Ready - Day 200.
It is very difficult to explain how this feels to others who have not quit or who have just started their quit. I will try. I may be fighting an uphill battle trying to convince you. You see, I remember what it was like to be in your shoes. During the first week of my quit, everything sucked. It was fucking hard. But I wanted to quit. At that time, you probably could not have convinced me of how good things could be without nic.
It's not just a health issue, although that should make you want to quit all on it's own, there is an equal if not more compelling reason to quit. Quality of Life.
I have seen several very well written posts by some fine quitters discussing their new found "Quality of Life" They described it much better than I ever will.
Life is good. There are so many things I do now that dip prevented me from doing. That's right, dip prevents you from doing things you should and would rather be doing. How many times have you passed up giving your wife or girlfriend a kiss because you had a dip in? How many times have you put off spending time with your children? How many of you have put your kids to bed early so you could put a dip in. That is what nic makes you do. But you are an accomplice.
You have a choice. You can decide not to be a slave. You can do this. We will help.
Now quit being a selfish fucking prick and quit.
Balls in your court. Today is a great day to quit.

I want to be perfectly clear to everyone on this site that I quit on this site Feb 4, 2007 and was quit @120 something days then I caved, after I caved I lied to my group and continued to post roll. My wife cought me numerous times after that dipping and I lied to her about it but she knew better, on the sat before I began my quit this time she called me out on it again and I proceded to give her that "I dont know what you are talking about look" but there was no more denying it. I truly do want to be quit this time and I truly did want to be quit last time so I cant tell you this is going to be the magical time but that is my intention. I tell you all this just so you know my background. I am quit now 17 days and I plan to continue posting roll every day I am quit, you can choose to believe me or not I dont really care the posting is for me. I will be happy to help anyone I can any way I can.
Mike

then I caved, after I caved I lied to my group and continued to post roll.
First congrats on 17 days and good luck with your quit but im my opinion your not welcome here. Go Fuck Yourself.
The site has only 1 or 2 rules that I am aware of, and your intentional misrepresentation of roll in the past definately broke one of them.
Your coming back here in my opinion is a big FU to everyone here. You were such a fucking weak pussy that not only did you cave, but you were a little twat who wasn't man enough to tell all of your failure and instead you came back on here an lied about it?
This is the last I will ever talk to you on this site. I wish you good luck in your quit.

I want to be perfectly clear to everyone on this site that I quit on this site Feb 4, 2007 and was quit @120 something days then I caved, after I caved I lied to my group and continued to post roll. My wife cought me numerous times after that dipping and I lied to her about it but she knew better, on the sat before I began my quit this time she called me out on it again and I proceded to give her that "I dont know what you are talking about look" but there was no more denying it. I truly do want to be quit this time and I truly did want to be quit last time so I cant tell you this is going to be the magical time but that is my intention. I tell you all this just so you know my background. I am quit now 17 days and I plan to continue posting roll every day I am quit, you can choose to believe me or not I dont really care the posting is for me. I will be happy to help anyone I can any way I can.

What was the point of posting that in here where the whole world can see it? Do you think in the furthest corner of your mind that we are going to say "Oh golly gee, you have proven that you can't keep the most sacred thing you have (that's your word, figured you may need a hint) but come on in and give the ole college try"?
I just briefly went through May 08's roll call and saw that you posted to at least 303 days. I really don't have the words....
And for anyone else that may be reading this, checking the site out, seeing what we are about. Posting roll is the backbone of why this site works. Only, you have to have backbone for it to work.

Well to be perfectly honest I am not sure, I just wanted everyone to know what happened to me, if you want you can delete all this from this section of the board. I was a ninja dipper and its a sick life to live and I fell right back into it. I thought maybe someone in my shoes may see it and realize how stupid a thing it is to screw up like that then lie about it like u always have, it does you no good and you accomplish nothing but alienating yourself more. It is something I have to live with every day and I am not proud of it but I did it and it was a sick thing to do.

i tell you... i'm to the point now where i actually really ENJOY being dip free. i still "miss" it but i don't crave anymore.
i see people dipping and i no longer long to be "one of them". i'm not one of them. i'm quit. i love being quit.
i love not looking at the cans behind the counter at the c-store/gas station
i love not having to carry a spit bottle everywhere i go.
i love not worrying about spilling sludge all over my desk.
i love being able to kiss my wife without worrying about dip bits.
i love that my oldest son will have no memory of me being a dipper.
i love that my youngest son has NEVER known me as a dipper.
i'm free... you can be too. let us help you.

Sign up and post roll that TODAY i will not dip
Keep your word
Read info and educate yourself on nic, its effects and how to beat it
Get involved
Stay quit.
Simple concepts generally work the best.....now....whatcha waiting for?

*my two cents*
In the beginning of my quit when someone caved especially within my group, I felt sorrow and a bit of helplessness for not being there to guide them through the storm that soon would past.
Then somewhere in the middle of my quit, I felt hurt and betrayed that a brother or sister would do something in which we all have been fighting with .. our addiction. I was so angry because many of us endure trials and tribulations during our life.
I realized I was a hypocryte for the thinking the latter half about anothers cave because of my First HOF speech (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=311) explaining at that time about my several attempts to quit. These are all stepping stones for each of us. I hope those who begin this journey to quitting their addiction will realize. Ultimately, you are the one in control. You have the power. No one else. You have to quit for you. Throughout over 20 years, I'd try to quit yet to go back to the one thing I thought I loved. It's only when I was at rock bottom Jan 07 when I discovered this site. Dipping was a burden, a heavy burden. It was a job I hated doing. It put evil thoughts of doubt into my head that I couldn't live life without it. It made me feel worthless and a liar for so many years. It made me weak.
I don't feel like that any more since quitting. I feel a sense of renewal. A rebirth so to speak. I am damn proud that on this day I know I am not using dip as a crutch for stress, saddness or sorrow. And I no longer feel sympathy for those who cave. They were compelled to give into their addiction (http://www.killthecan.org/facts/chance.asp) and sadly it won!
This site holds all the tools you will ever need ... but you have to use them and not blame your cave on anything other than yourself. You are shown these tools from the very first post on Day One. We are all human. We make mistakes. But we learn from those mistakes.
If you truly want to quit, remember a few things:
1) Participate within your quit group as well as other groups.
2) Get lots of phone numbers to help in a time of need. (not just stored in your phone but written down when you're without it.)
3) Educate yourself by reading not only articles and HOF speeches but go to other groups and read about what they went through. Just go to the last page and there is our quit history. Our footprints throughout our journey.
4) Remember the moto! One moment, minute, one hour ... One day at a time!
5) Think positive. Believe in yourself and all the accomplishments you've made.
6) Never be afraid to call someone you've never spoken with before or afraid to let others help you even if they have less quit days than you. No matter what we all encourage each other. That's why this site works.
If I left anything out, please feel free to add to the list.
You are not in this alone. You can do this and when you falter realize that one of two things happened. You either didn't use the tools created to help through a crave or you didn't really quit for yourself. No one can make you want this. Only you. Do you want life or perhaps and more likely death? You pick.
*Umm .. crapola! Sorry I gave much more than my two cents*

I know exactly where it is, maybe not first and foremost on my mind all day long, but always steadfast in the back of my brain keeping things on track. Sort of like a pendulum or a gyroscope maintaining constant focus. It's good to be at a point where I'm just pre-programmed to quit. Sort of 2nd nature these days. Hoping it continues. B)

I bumped this post of Nikki's good stuff My Dear Friends,
I want to share with you something that I wrote for a presentation that ODT is giving today and tomorrow. I wrote this as an insight through the eyes of a female dipper. I hope if a female is reading this. please know you can join this site. You can prove that you are stronger than smokeless tobacco or any other addiction because some of us have more than one to conquer. Let this site help guide you.
Good luck in whatever choice you make,
mylilsecret aka Nickie
My name is Nicole and I used Copenhagen for 23 years. What at first became I simple dare turned into my reasoning to cope with an abusive childhood. I kept it hidden very well as most female dippers do. The personification that dipping is only used by the male population is simply untrue. Unlike cigarette smoking, women have concerns within their social circles about using. ItÂ’s perceived as being unattractive. Many have low self-esteem and less desire to ask for help. I believe more educational and prevention messages should be associated to female dippers to prove they are not alone.
I thought I was alone. For years I tried to quit, only to be thrown back into the clutches of my addiction. You canÂ’t force, bargain, trade or use ultimatums to help someone see their addiction. ThatÂ’s the hardest part of the disease.
If you know a female wanting to quit, let them know they’re others with the same problem. It‘s embarrassing to come out and admit it. I know it's had taken me 23 years to finally say, "I was a woman Copenhagen user." There is support and this website proves just that. Through this website and quitting smokeless tobacco I found something, I found me! Each group works as a team through accountability and using the term, “One day at a time,” I can’t imagine what my life would be like today had I not stumbled upon this website.
Female quitters need help. If I show just one that it can be accomplished then maybe more will follow.
Sincerely,
Nicole Lynch
Day 574
If Given The Chance
I bet - if given the chance - I could seduce you into using me even if it's just one time.
Then after you've tried me I know you wouldn't want anything else other than myself.
I bet - if given the chance - I could make you believe I'm a loyal friend; some sort of confidante.
Sooner or later I'll be able to manipulate, hell I'll be able to isolate you from family even friends.
I bet - if given the chance - I could ravish you with deadly poisons pretending they're great pleasures.
And after all those years of letting me control your every move you'll see what I'm truly after ...... death.
I'm your greatest fear. I'm your addiction.
I bet - if given the chance - you'll begin to feel guilty from hurting so many because of your worship for me.
But after I am gone they'll learn to forgive you but never truly understand how or why this could've happened.
I bet - if given the chance - you'll begin to forget me. However, I'll try my best to wreck havoc on you once more.
You see, within the darkest corner of your mind, every so often I'll beg you to give me another try.
I bet - if given the chance - you'll begin to see hope that you can live your life without me.
And after all those years of letting me control your every move you'll see what I truly dread ...... life.
It's my greatest fear. It's your recovery.

Labor Day weekend brings a couple of agricultural fairs to my area so I spend some time working at one and enjoying the other. Of course there are the yum yums (of which we used to be one) spitting all over the place thinking that they are the shit. But I had to notice a couple of smokers that were absolutlely stupid with their choice of location. One was standing in a line for a kiddie ride with a dozen little kids around and another was sitting in a food tent around a bunch of people eating. It made me want to put in some SMC (see I am recovering) and go over to them and spit in their lap, and smack them upside the head.
Then it hit me, I was them. I would have rationalized it being okay alot like they prolly were. Then it made me a little proud that I was beating that addiction.
This can be done. And you should be proud that you are doing it!

a post from the past...
why this site works
so i was sitting around last saturday evening with a couple of buddies watching the ufc fight on ppv (chuck lidell is a badass, but that's another story). i knew that it was going to be a rough night on the trigger side of things cause they are all dippers. i'd informed them that i had quit and they were all very supportive of me. (i was feeling really good in the fact that i didnt' even feel the need for SMC that night).
so, we're sitting there later in the evening, and my "buddy" throws me a can of kodiak and asks if i want one. i gave him a resounding "no" but did lift the lid for one whiff. as i smelled it for the first time in a long damn time, i thought of my brothers in october, i thought of all of you on the site, and i specifically thought of jmr. i'd givin him shit a month or so back in chat, and i could NEVER live with myself if i'd caved after all the crap that i gave him. jmr - you asked me a couple of days ago how i felt about probably saving your quit that day and i told you i was humbled... that's part of the reason right there my man... we're all in this together.
i had considered sending this to jmr in a pm, but i started thinking of it and thought it was really important for everyone to remember why we're here... ACCOUNTABILITY... posting roll on a daily basis isn't just something that i do... it's a promise that i take very seriously.
when i rolled in here for sunday roll call, i made a post in oct 06 letting everyone know that i was proud of myself for smelling it and turning it down... immediately grinn jumped on my back and told me to get my head out of my ass... i didn't need to prove anything to myself or to anyone by playing with fire like that. when i first read that post i was pretty taken aback, but then i realized again why this site works... it's cause people like grinn are out there to tell you the way it is... thanks grinny... love you!!!
ladies and gentlemen ~~ your fight isn't over... this site is and always will be about quitting tobacco... we have started friendships and relationships that transcend dip, but we must always remember that we've got a common ENEMY and that's why we're friends.
both of these incidents have strengthened my resolve.... chew is NEVER going to get back into my life... i've worked too damn hard to get to this point in my quit... i've bitched at too many people and i won't let them down.
here's to being dip free in 2007!!!

Most, .. if not all who chose to quit dipping do so in fear of cancer and ultimately their fear of death from their addiction.
- Imagine being twelve and your first dip. Dad lets you do it around the garage with him as you tinker with his tools pretending to help. Pretty cool, huh?
- Imagine being fifteen and your friends start hanging out at your house 'cause it's okay to dip around your parents. Heck, most of their parents haven't a clue about the dipping ritual that happens after school.
- Imagine being nineteen and working with your father at his business. Both still dipping and enjoying the conversations you spend because you feel a connection, even if it has to do with dip.
- Imagine finding your first sore, gums raw but you still keep using. Dad says its happened to him but it'll go away. So you pack it to the other side of your mouth. It feels somewhat less painful that way.
- Imagine being twenty-one and the birth of your first and only son. Dipping the whole time your wife is in labor. So nervous but you need dip to take that edge off. Asking the nurses for a cup to spit into. Holding your son after birth, but in the back of your mind you know that you need to get another can since you're out.
- Imagine being twenty-seven and your now six yr old son wants to go hunting with you like he has many times before but you tell him he can't go. Unable to tell him why since there's going to be alcohol and a little party later at a friends house. Your son cries not understanding why Daddy won't take him hunting. You promise to take him real soon. Maybe next weekend. He pouts some but you're able to scoot out the door without him noticing.
- Imagine hunting while drinking some beer. Later on you're at a friends house you've known since grade school. You play a little poker and get somewhat carried away with the shots and liquor being passed around.
- Imagine feeling a bit dizzy and resting on the couch since the room won't stop spinning. Some time later others pass by and laugh 'cause your drunker than shit. They believed you have passed out since they hear you snoring.
- Imagine being so intoxicated to the point that you've swallow your snuff. What they believe was snoring was actually you gasping for air yet since you've been drinking, you're unable to move and get help .. you die .. not from cancer .. but from choking on your wad of dip.
Now imagine leaving behind your wife and son, mother, father and sister. Leaving behind your friends and one of the girls (me) who played truth or dare and was dared to kiss you. We were fourteen. (the time I started dipping secretly)
Imagine now, if cancer's truly the only culprit that can lead to your death.
This true story happened to a good friend of mine. Someone with a kind heart but just was stupid to think that he wasn't addicted. To proud thinking he was invincible to cancer and death. Yet sadly he died by asphyxiation.
He's gone by just a single dip!
-mylilsecret
Rest in peace, Jay Archibald! I hope you're death wasn't in vain and by me telling your story will help someone take that first step to quit.

Navy I see that you posted roll in the Jan Group, remember to stay strong and just worry about not dipping today, I chewed paper for about the first month of my quit, I think it is good to find a replacement to put in between the cheek and gum.
I also chewed cotton balls. Find what works and stick to it.

IÂ’m asking quit members, administrators and site owner for their help in my recovery and healing process since my quit to publish a book. IÂ’m to contact a Literature English Professor who has had articles and books published of her own. My therapist knows her and believes she can help me get a book published. I need references yet since I havenÂ’t written for a newspaper or magazine IÂ’ll need references from you. Yes .. You! Whether we spoken to each other or not, if youÂ’ve read something of mine and itÂ’s helped you. Or perhaps inspired you and would like to see a book written by me within the near future. Please write a referral on my behalf. YouÂ’ll need to send it to my home email address at - pnlynch@embarqmail.com (http://mailto:pnlynch@embarqmail.com) - so I can print and have it in my portfolio to present to her. I am extremely scared but my therapist said that this is a step I must take in my recovery. She though it was great if I had recommendations from my mentors and peers.
So I ask if youÂ’ve read either HOF speeches or posts and felt it helped you in someway with your quit or life, how a book written by me would be beneficial. I ask the administrators and site owner if they would do the same if they felt IÂ’ve helped their site. Please use your username if you feel more comfortable. Administrators and site owners I would need your name for my book.
Thank you so very much in helping me with my quit,

IÂ’m not here to say my life was far worse than anyone elseÂ’s. IÂ’m just paving a roadway so others can see that in life; particular mountains may stand in our way. We might not be able to go around or even over top of them like some. ItÂ’s at these moments we get discouraged. Unfortunately most are at a standstill and remain that way. The rest will finally see in order to overcome this obstacle they must dig down deep.
Some may relate to this in different ways about quitting. It just so happens that mine is about negative thoughts of myself whether it was self love, worth, esteem or talents, I had little if any up until now.
And you helped me succeed in that. Thank you!!
(read below to see how)
At the start of my quit I thought I was basically quitting my addiction. Though as I sifted through pieces of my life. I noticed that quitting also helped me to heal in other ways.
During my childhood I heard quite frequently, “Why do you write? Who wants to read any thing you have to say? You know, this is really garbage, Nicole. Just like you, .. garbage.” At this time I showed absolutely no emotion. I didn’t want him to feel any satisfaction for his actions. So he found another way to once again bring pain into my life. He’d tear up anything I wrote and made sure to do it before my eyes. He glorified in seeing my pain. That’s when I started to hide anything I wrote. My hiding spot for my notebook was at the very bottom of my clothes dresser. I would take the bottom drawer out, laying my notebook flat then replacing the drawer. He never found it. No one has known about that until now. Not my mom, my husband … no one until my therapy session. In that session I brought the bad and the good. The negative and positive. My therapist hadn’t heard back from April, the person who wanted to take a look at my work and see which publisher I should send an excerpt of my book to. I felt uneasy at that point but she followed up by saying she knew someone else in Palm Beach if April was too busy. I relaxed some as I told her tonight was going to be all about me. First my negative past and then my positive present. Each were going to collided for the first time ever. I showed her the homemade cards, letters, poems and even a picture of my mom, dad and me that I hated. Why had I kept all these things for so long? Each time I moved from house to house, state to state this box came with me. This ‘baggage’ reminded me of an ugly past. It stayed within the corner of my closet yet ever so often I’d pull it out to read and remember why I wasn’t good enough.
As I read each of them to her, I noticed everything written showed a little girl aching so badly for her fatherÂ’s affection and love even to the point of begging.
I unfolded this tattered paper remembering back as to why it was written.
My father hated when I called the police. I honestly don’t understand why because they never took him away and he never got in trouble. He always had excuses. One night after they left he pulled me aside by grabbing my hair and brought my face to his. His fermented breath disgusted me but I only remember of that now. Back then my eyes were fixated to his lips as he yelled about how if the police had to keep coming out they would finally take my brother and me away. Not him. I would never see my mother again. He told me, “Now go write a note about how you don’t want to leave your mother because you love your home. Then if they do come to get you I‘ll have your note.”
To my therapist from tattered paper I read, “Daddy, I love you! I always want to be by you and never go away. I love you, Daddy because you teach me right from wrong. You are the best Daddy! My home is the best because my Daddy is the best. My Daddy is nice and I don’t want to go any where. I love my home. I love my Daddy.
Your loving daughter,
Nicole
I love you Daddy!!!
There were little hearts and flowers colored like border around the I love you part. After reading this I felt completely sick. I was suppose to write how I liked my home and didnÂ’t want to leave my mommy. Yet I wrote all about him and how he was the best. If I hated him so much then why to hell was I writing about never wanting to leave him? Was I brainwashed? Maybe so, but this letter oozed of a little girl craving love.
Now after reading several letters I pushed the negative to the side of me and read my references / recommendations from everyone here. Even though, April hadn’t read them yet I wanted to share some with Kellie, my therapist. There were a few I read ahead of time but most I hadn’t. I only picked a few to read since our session was now well over an hour. I read those that I knew were positive. Then she told me to pick three I hadn’t read so she could read them aloud. I don’t know if there is a word or words to capture this extraordinary feeling I had of self worthiness and accomplishment for inspiring some in their quit. From quitters who had 3 ½ years to those who had 10 days wrote such positive encouraging words about me. I began to cry not of sadness but absolute joy. Kellie picked up the old negative papers of the past and said, “You were told growing up you’d become nothing.” Then touching the letters from which she had just read. “Nicole, yet here I surely see how you’ve become someone quite special. And you did it through the one thing your father couldn’t take away. Your passion and love for writing. So why are you holding onto such negative objects from the past when you have so much positive within your life now?” Through the tears, I picked up the negative pile and slammed it into her trash can. Ohh, how exhilarating that felt!
She asked to read some articles .. the first being, Dear Potential Quitter. She stated, “Wow, how powerful. I could really use this in one of my workshops. Who wrote this?” I said, “You’re kidding me, .. right? Umm, Kellie, I wrote that.” She laughed stating at the end of the article she didn’t know who mls was. Our session lasted well over two hours and as we walked down the stairs to go home I asked if I could grab the trash from her office. I wanted to really throw it away! Now as I carried the bag down and out the door there stood two city trash cans on the curb. One nice green Waste-Management can and one ugly beat-up old trash can. “Which one, Kellie?” ..
“Which one do you think, Nicole?” ..
I pushed the bag into the old can.
I smiled as I got into my van. I had thrown away things that for some reason I held onto. I had quit some of the negative thinking and looked towards the positive within me.
Just like the quit with my addiction I would have to take baby steps in order to reach goals and accomplishments. And just because I threw away some negative thoughts didnÂ’t mean I was out of the woods yet. I have a huge journey.
I honestly thought quitting meant of a physical attribute not an emotional one. Whoa, was I ever wrong!

My 210th dipfree weekend coming up. My weekend plan has changed a little over the years, but one thing remains constant:
If you don't put that crap in your mouth, it won't jump in there on it's own. :)
But to help make that easier for myself my weekend plan has included everything from not drinking to fake snuff to exercise to help me get through. Do whatever it takes to keep your weekend dipfree.
Ya'll Keep Your Guard Up and remember that this Quittin' Stuff is definitely worth the effort.

Within The Trance
Slowly it creeps into the darkness of my world. At a weak and vulnerable state; a time where IÂ’m unable to think rationally since IÂ’m nestled cozy amidst the warmth of my bed. The addict trance within allows me to believe that I have forsaken the vow that I took today. It haunts me to know that I have let myself and others down.
Each night within the addict trance it repeats itself over and over again. Before long it has me to believe IÂ’m taking one dip secretly. It tries to show me how easily I could hide it from my family. Hell, I could hide it from you. I breathe in deeply as reality emerges to clear the thick fog that held me captive; yet a voice softly escapes; it begs and pleads with me. It wants me to accept I can have a dip since IÂ’ve been dreaming about it.
ThatÂ’s when I remember the past I have endured throughout my quit. I recite my HOF speech and others. I look to my very first post where I was so fragile and weak. IÂ’ve grown stronger since then. That voice will always lurk just beyond the shadows to try and regain control.
But I wonÂ’t allow it! And itÂ’s angry with me. For years IÂ’ve been a servant to this overbearing beast and it doesnÂ’t understand why I want to change. It wants to suck the life right out of me; to my very last breath.
It will not regain control. I can and will do this; not for my family, not for my children, not for anyone other than myself! As I see you within your quit, you inspire me; you bestow upon me strength and that my friend gives me power. The power to stay quit! And for that I am deeply indebted to you.

Afternoon everyone. I'm interested in quitting the can. I've only been doing it for about 2 to 2 1/2 years. Prior to that I smoked 3 packs a day for 7 years. I'm finding the chew to be much harder to put down. Any and all support is greatly appreciated. I've cut back and cut back. I'm down to only puting in 2-3 a day....This site is what got me going. I want to thank you all. I believe that I can do it and put it down for good.
-
Good Monday morning quitters !!
Punisher, it's time to take that step and go from 2-3 a day to 0. Make the decision to be better than the chew. Toss it out and sign on to roll call befor ethe holidays. Have more to be thankful for ! Let us help you in this and together we can get it done !

I'm So Happy They Did
When I stumbled upon this site, January 2007, I never thought of it as home or how I would become a better person from finding such a place. I never once thought that here I'd be able to find someone who understood my situation, my actions or my vulnerability within myself and my addiction. I never expected someone to create such a wonderful and educational site for recovering addicts but I'm so happy they did.
My first post here was only to let out frustration and madness that rested so dormant around my addiction and the secrecy of it. That one post, that one "click" to submit made it all happen. I must have read what I wrote several times before it hit me that "Umm, helloooooooo? I sent this via the internet. What the hell was I thinking? I just informed a bazillion (as my son used to say) people that I was a female addict." I never expected anyone to actually respond back to that silly ranting post of mine but I'm so happy they did.
Unfortunately, it took me so many times at striking out before I finally said I'm done with this burden. I'm done with this addiction. I want to find home. Ya know, this site means more to me than just "hi, I'm quit." See, I never expected anyone to extend their hand out in friendship while traveling such stormy seas but I'm so happy you did.

You know what MLS, you are so right on the money here its scary.
When I quit dipping on 4/22/2007, I had no idea what was about to happen. The next day at work I put "quitting chew" or something to that effect into a search engine and found killthecan.org. I spent a big part of that day searching around it. I read a bunch of articles, found a link to some chat thing, another forum something or other, some pics of what my certain fate was if I kept dipping, and then I found the What to Expect page (http://www.killthecan.org/yourquit/what.asp). When I saw that my heart sank and I realized I was in for a tough road, but I was ready. Everyday for the next 70 days I read and reread what I was going through and was going to go through. Each time I read it, I made the resolve to make the next milestone. I was always curious about that forum thing but never checked it out because it was most likely like that myspace thing I had heard so many negative things about.
At the 70 something day mark I was in a bad way, completely sick and tired of quitting. If I never had to concentrate on quitting again it would be worth the likelyhood of a horrible fate. But I gave that forum thing a try. I didn't expect to be accepted, I didn't expect to be believed that I was really on day 70 something. But you know what, I was and it really matter to me.
Because of that I have made some great friendships, personally met close to 20 quitters, and most importantly done some incredible healing that has very likely saved my life. Its an incredible thing. Our cool aid is pretty tasty.
Sorry to get all nostalgic and all but "I'm So Happy They Did".

Is quality better than quanity?
Just think about it.
You can have all the quanity (quit days) you want but without the quality (other recovering addicts) you're not going to travel very far in your quit.

Foremanscotty, this is the cafe. It is the only place on the board that allows posts from folks that are still on the edge of making the plunge. I realize that you meant no disrespect by posting in March 09 so don't take GMS and I bantering back and forth too seriously.
I saw in the March quit group that you are not worried about posting on 12/13, but dreading posting on 12/15. I'm assuming that's because of the Mondayness of that date. Here's the cool thing about quitting, all you have to do is worry about today. You make a promise each morning that you will not use tobacco (by posting roll call) and then keep that promise. Worry about 12/15 on 12/15 and 1/31 on 1/31. Get it? If you are concerned about things that happen at work that make you "need" a dip, develop a plan for a different way to handle it.
You're not the only one to use the words "scared shitless" when it comes to quitting. We've all felt our addiction would "get us by" in some difficult situations. It will take some time and a little pain (well okay, alot of pain) but you will re-learn that the car will start, the lawn will get mowed, and the garage will not collapse without a dip. When you get to a point where dip no longer has influence on the decisions you make, I promise you that you will look back on the journey you are beginning and realize that it has been worth it.

chewie's 3 step cave plan
there's been a lot of talk about plans here lately... here's mine.
it's been put into effect many times over the last 800+ days.
feel free to copy and modify to fit your needs.
step 1: take picture of son out of wallet. look my son in the face and tell him that i love dip more than i love him.
step 2: take out killthecan.org business card, read the words and REALIZE that i'm letting each and every one of YOU down.
step 3: call each of the killthecan.org phone numbers that i've got in my phone and get PERMISSION from each and every person to have a dip.
P.S.: i've never had to go past step 1

I saw in the March quit group that you are not worried about posting on 12/13, but dreading posting on 12/15. I'm assuming that's because of the Mondayness of that date. Here's the cool thing about quitting, all you have to do is worry about today. You make a promise each morning that you will not use tobacco (by posting roll call) and then keep that promise. Worry about 12/15 on 12/15 and 1/31 on 1/31. Get it? If you are concerned about things that happen at work that make you "need" a dip, develop a plan for a different way to handle it.
You're not the only one to use the words "scared shitless" when it comes to quitting. We've all felt our addiction would "get us by" in some difficult situations. It will take some time and a little pain (well okay, alot of pain) but you will re-learn that the car will start, the lawn will get mowed, and the garage will not collapse without a dip. When you get to a point where dip no longer has influence on the decisions you make, I promise you that you will look back on the journey you are beginning and realize that it has been worth it.
Well said.

Never Give Up
Remember to never give up; never have doubt.
Those ups and downs are what life is all about.
You try and try your absolute best
and somehow struggle like all the rest.
At times it seems you just canÂ’t do it.
Yet all it takes is putting your mind to it.
The mistakes that you make along the way,
create a stronger person to defeat another day.
No one can tell you the steps you must take.
And those choices become the decisions you'll make.
Believe in yourself and all the power that you hold.
Aspirations are created by the young and the old.
But it has to start here and it has to start now.
I'm sure youÂ’re sitting there wondering how.
It begins when you quit and set an example for others.
Here at first strangers soon make up quit sisters and brothers.
So if youÂ’re struggling with addiction and searching for belief.
Simply reach out to the others and you'll soon find relief.
Quitting means you want this. ItÂ’s coming from your heart.
DonÂ’t wait until tomorrow when this moment you can start.
Take this wonderful opportunity and I promise you'll see.
You'll never be alone because you're standing here with me.

So Now What?
You've finally made the decision to quit. .............. Well, let me be the first to congratulate you.
Umm, so now what?
It's not easy as you know and all of us before coming here have tried quitting several times only to fail again and again. Truthfully, your quit here will be so much different than any of your last attempts.
First, you have what's called your quit group. These are men and women quitting their addiction to the same substance that brought you here to begin with. Your group will enter the Hall of Fame (HOF) after 100 days. Within your group you'll be able to share, vent and yes argue amongst one another. This creates your bond, ..... your brotherhood.
Second, accountability is used here just like in any other recovery atmosphere. When you post your user name and quit date, you are pledging for that day ONLY you will remain free from any form of tobacco/nicotine. Remember your pledge is for that day! Do not think ahead. I promise you the first days are hell but they are doable. You'll go through many physical, mental and emotional withdrawals. Day 1 to 3 more physical. Headaches, body aches, stomach cramps, constipation, jaw pain, mouth sores .. heck, I could go on and on. But believe me it's normal. Drink lots of water to flush out your system. All that nicotine that was once cycling itself rapidly through your veins has diminished.
On Day 4 to ?, you unfortunately are about to begin with what I like to call "Mental Pursuit". You are about to pursue your sanity. Believe me there were times I thought I had the good me on one shoulder and a bad me on the other. And yes, both were constantly bickering on why I should or shouldn't buy a can of snuff or take just one dip. It does seem little funny now but during the time I almost said screw it - - JUST GIVE ME A CAN! But I didn't. You know why? Accountability to my quit group. I posted that day!
Also you'll be less likely to concentrate. (The Fog) You may feel somewhat lost or confused. You will experience dip dreams. A dream as if you've taken a dip and betrayed your group. Some of these dreams seem very real but they are normal to have.
The mind games I hate to say will last through out your recovery but they do thankfully become less and less frequent. During the next few months you'll start to gain confidence and then that's when the emotional part comes into play. You'll have feelings of loneliness and abandonment. You might also feel as if you've lost a friend or the death of a loved one. This is the beginning of your healing. During this time you'll retrain your brain. Remember those every day activities you did with dip? Well, you now can do them without it. It's hard! But it can be done. And it takes time .. try not to be hard on yourself. It doesn't happen overnight or within a few weeks. I never thought I would be able to write again yet I started to realize I didn't need a big wad of dip to write. I just needed my confidence.
Last but not least, you'll need the support and resources. That's where all the others here and I come into play. In order to be successful you must be willing to make friends, get phone numbers and chat. Honestly, we're not shy! .. umm, k .. maybe I am a bit .. =) Yeah right! .. And don't be afraid to read! Educate yourself because knowledge is your strength!
Some final footnotes:
Never underestimate the power of addiction.
After 100 days (HOF) don't let your confidence get the best of you.
Your recovery is a progress in work.
Never look ahead. Think only of today. You can make it through.
You'll constantly have high and low points in life but none of which is worth putting a dip in for.
Dipping will not get rid of or get you a job, spouse, money, a Lamborghini, mistress, promotion or for that matter the execution of a co-worker who got your promotion. - - - - Just Deal With It! =P

I hope this in some way will familiarize you to what the site is all about!
... Helping you stay quit!
