just found this site as i savored a satisfying yet deep down unwanted chew, been doing it for 16 years over a can a day,, tried to quit before,, im a mechanic, so its so easy to get carried away in the middle of a job,, i really want to quit this for myself and my three kids,, i just threw out the 3/4 full can of Kodiak, after reading a few posts from this site, so im already a little jittery knowing i dont have a can on hand, im gonna need some help on this,, really appreciate the effort you guys show for people that come on here for help, so let this first move of today be the beginning of a healthier life,,

ncgolfer, thanks for the support!  This may be a dumb question, but how do you post roll?  I just stumbled upon this site while researching some safe alternatives to dip.
Capp, that is exactly how I found this site. It is the best search I ever made. A mod will reach out to you soon with instructions and other info soon.

I post roll by:

Hit quote box in right corner.
Highlight and select all in the lower box on the page
Cut
Paste into the upper box
Add your name to the list of quitters

Your month is April

Sorry this is sloppy, I'm posting from my iPad

Though I'd share a little story with you guys.

Went to the convenience store today to get some milk. The guy that was in line in front of me had a bottle of gatorade and then he bought a can of chew at the counter.

I wanted to yell at him to tell him what an asshole he is but thought better of it.

When I left the store I saw that same guy sitting in his car chugging half the bottle and then dumping the rest. Then he sliced open the can and put a lip in.

Seeing that reminded me of how bad that nic bitch had me in her reigns a little over 2 weeks ago and what a loser I was when I did the same thing just to have a spitter.

The good thing is that it only strengthened my resolve.

This sucks balls!!!  Yesterday was my first day off.  I'm 32, been dipping Copenhagen since I was 14 (probably averaged a can every 2 days over that course of time).  Got 2 boys age 4 and 3 and I need to do this for them.  This is the worst feeling ever!!!  Any advice would be welcomed.  Been chewing the shit out of seeds and gum but still having the worst withdrawal symptoms.
Congrats on your quit! First you need to quit for yourself. Take it one hour, one minute at a time. Read as much as you can on this site. The early quit is a bitch. It's the fog, the suck, the rage, and every other shitty feeling you could imagine. We put that shit into or systems for years and our body hates us for taking it away from us. It will try to fool us into caving, but you can't, you will die a miserable death and leave those kids without a father. Think about how horrible your kids and wife will feel then. Compare that to your pain right now. Which is worse? Which won't ever end? Post roll today and keep your promise, then do it again tomorrow.

Went to the gas station last night to fuel up and there it was, a can of dip laying in the floor board of the car. I knew if I took a dip it would be the can that killed me. If I can keep quit after 30 years of dipping, anyone can.

We just got to hang on for today. Hell, aliens might invade tomorrow and then where would we be?
Well if aliens invade tomorrow and kill everyone, I might think about having one last dip before they get me :D
Fail.

Never again, for any reason.
Ready is correct. NEVER again.

Why would you give those fuckers one more penny of your money?? They have lied to you for years. Stolen from you, fucked over your families. They lure kids into using their fucking poison so they can bleed them of money all their shortend lives. They could give less than a shit about your health. All they are looking for his how much money they can suck out of you before you are planted.

Spend some time reading about what the tobacco companies know and do. As I have said before, I will set my money on fire before I ever give those fucks one more penny.
