Hello all, I am planning on quitting this friday. I have lurked on the site for awhile, just been trying to decide when is the right time for me to stop, when I think I will be able to completely stop that is.
My name is Jake, I have been dipping for about 7 years. I started in high school-my best friend dipped and offered his can to me-it all started from there... and I haven't been able to fully stop since then-I've gone on "breaks" but have never been able to fully stop. I found this site through a search, and have lurked for some time, while planning how I will manage my own quit. But I think I finally have a plan now.
I have decided that it is time for me to quit this week. I am working on finishing my last can of cope straight, once this can is done, I will be ready to post roll and quit with you all. I've just been cutting down on my usage this week to prepare for friday. Do you have any other advice for me?
-
Advice is just what everyone has already said in the May forum, don't wait until Friday to quit. Welcome and good luck.
-
Advice? Yeah, man up, dump your shit in the toilet, and post roll. See the "Welcome Center" link in the upper left-hand corner.
There is absolutely no reason to wait until Friday, other than it gives you one more day to stuff cancer candy in your mouth. And why, exactly, would you want to do that?

^^^ This quitter speaketh the truth.
Postponing is an addictions way of digging the hooks in deeper. The stress caused by planning to quit causes anxiety, which makes quitting even harder.
If you quit right now, the nicotine will almost be out of your system by Friday.
-
Wow. You must really hate cope if you want to finger bang the nic bitch for a few more days. Get those "bonus" lippers in. Grind that shit into your gum, get the full experience before your quit day party. If there is quit in you at all, its in you now. Don't wait another moment. If freedom is looking you in the eye, grab it. You don't "plan" on it. You fight for it. I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed that one of these last dips doesn't kick start the chain reaction of cancer. How long can you dodge a bullet bud? How many times do you think you get? If you have balls and want this, then do it. Otherwise, you're lying to yourself pal. You got to want it.

Where are your balls, Jake? The time is NOW to regain control of your life! Ever since your friend gave you that can, you have WILLINGLY been ingesting the most addictive ninja thing out there, not to mention the carcinogenic and potentially oncogenic effects that come with a can of dip!
Open that can, dump it in the toilet, piss on it, and flush it the fuck down. Get it together and quit right now. "Planning to quit" does not work. Having a quit plan, does. Feel free to share your plan if you'd like, and the vets will gladly give you hints, tips and advice from there.
But the long and short of it is that your quit needs to start TODAY. We are a cold turkey kinda deal. There is no weening, this isn't titty milk. It's your life. GET IT BACK.
-
We see guys like you all the time. We call em planned quitters. We rarely see them back for their quit date, or for any date quit for that matter.
But your different right? Your special? No. Sorry to burst your birthday balloon bud, but your not.
Planned quits don't work for one reason. You do not want it bad enough. The simple fact that you want to wait until Friday to quit tells me that you do not have the desire to quit today, so what is gonna change Friday?
Ill answer that.
Nothing.
This only works if you want it. If you want it, you gotta get it today, because tomorrow never comes. Who knows which time you stuff that shit in between your lip and your addiction that it starts the cellular chain reaction that ends with your face being filleted like a halibut? Don't get me wrong, I know you can quit, I don't think you will tho. I hope you prove me wrong.
Quit today.
Tomorrow never comes.
Free yourself.

I'm gonna bet you aren't here on Friday. I'll wear the avatar of your choice for a week if you come in, quit and post a day 1 between now and Friday. I dare you. I double dog dare you.

Kinda reminds me of THIS GUY index.php?showtopic=5865 (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=5865)
Who, was on the site yesterday...but still hasn't committed to the quit...
Move along...nothing to see here...
-
Douchenozzle, stay out of the May 2012 forum until you are quit. You're fucking killing me.
-
Hi.
I'm an addict just like you.
232 days ago I came into chat sporting a chew just like you currently are. I spit it out when I was asked and it was the last one I will ever have.
Post roll.
Stay quit.
repeat.
Please go read te welcome center at the top of the page. That should do plenty of planning for you. In fact, we've laid out guidelines here on how to quit and stay Quit. No need to plan.
All you gotta do is quit.
-
At this point of time if you do not man up and quit right now you should just go on your marry way. We will help you but you must want and accept our help.
Our first bit of advice is to quit right now. If you do not accept this advice and quit now you are telling us that you know more than we do and you are better off on your own.
Believe us, we know you better than you know you. We have seen your type 100's, 1,000's of time here. You do as we say and you will be 100% successful.

I got a half-a-can to go on my last can and then that’s it. I’m quittin’. I know it’s gonna’ work this time ‘cause I could’ve bought a full roll last night on the way home from work but I didn’t! Don’t worry, I’m keepin’ my promise. I’m just gonna’ stretch this can a bit to make quittin’ easier; that’s all. After that it’s no more for me, no sir. I’ll be a-slidin’ into this quit one little pinch at a time.
This plan works, believe me, IÂ’ve often quit like this before. "Garanteed!" I hope you donÂ’t mind me spoutinÂ’ off like this but IÂ’m just so damn proud about how far IÂ’ve come! IÂ’m workinÂ’ hard but I gottaÂ’ tell ya, itÂ’s been smooth sailinÂ’ so far. No withdrawal stuff yet and IÂ’ve been at it almost a week! So take it from me. That's right fellas, IÂ’m definitely quitting last Tuesday. You can take that to the bank.
You vets just donÂ’t understand how hard it is to stop.
-
Tomorrow never comes....quit today.
-
Hey man. I threw away a can with a little more than half left.
It's liberating, give it a try.

I have too, but then turned around and bought one the next day. I think I need to finish this first, to "close the door" as I've heard said around here.

Close the door by throwing away your shit NOW. How many times have your promised yourself "tomorrow"???

This is a place for quitters to deal with their addictions. Not you.

We have a day 1 posted. Congratulations on making the best decision of your life bro. Reach out if you need anything. Scope this place out. Read. Log into chat. Quit.
Freedom is a beautiful thing.

Congrats dude. There is absolutely no better way to go about this.
Now that you've taken the leap of faith you can rejoice in knowing the fact that you've got thousands of quit brothers at your dispense for when times get tough. Feel free to PM myself or any of the other vets when you need help, have something to say, need advice, or feel a crave coming on. We here are all addicts, and we all strive to help each other.

Fantastic decision. Start reading!

Score one for the good guys.

Tarpon owes you an av for the week! Good job posting roll don't let him off the hook
-

Congrats, now get ready for some real fun.

I can't wait any longer. I tried calling numbers. Noone answer. What am I supposed to do now?

By all means good man, cave and proceed to taunt your "fellow" quitters with a dip in your mouth. That is the classy move and shows how serious you were. Come back when you grow up a little. Or not. Really don't care after your classless post in May.

When did this guy change his avatar back? Last night when he posted this, it was the lid of his lover, Copenhagen wintergreen.

Now tarpon owes you a kick in the nuts because you are weak and cannot take it. You are a disgrace to all in the May 2012 group.

Do not feed the trolls

I totally agree with Tarpon....That dude is a tool...He won't be back..it is really too bad because now I am gonna get all kinds of crap about how drinking will ruin your quit....Damn it!

The quit drinking part...I don't totally agree and here's my take. I have had 1-3 beers every night after work for as long as I can remember. When I started my quit I did not cease drinking my beers and actually got a little hammered once or twice.
For me, this test makes me stronger....Instead of absolute sobriety for 30, 60 days and then a 1 time drunkfest where I could be very weak, I already know I can push through...
Maybe illogical to some but for me, I know it's the right way.
And to hatecope, thanks for the entertainment you fukin pussy. People like you only make me stronger. When you grow out of your teenage brain and have some hair on your balls....perhaps a new group will take you in.

Imagine that you are standing in front of a minefield...on the other side of that minefield stands a soldier...not only has he walked that minefield safely, but he has guided thousands of others through that minefield safely as well.. He hails you from the other side and offers to guide you across safely...
do you:
a) tell him he is well meaning but really doesn't know shit about minefields
or
b.) shut up and listen to what he has to say, treading the path of thousands of others before you.
one way guarantees you safe passage, Why tread a new path?
drink the kool aid...drink long. drink deep.
Don't be a casualty.
I'm not saying that you guys are destined to fail.
However, there is a method to our madness.
You guys have 36 days quit COLLECTIVELY.
Anybody can stop. A true badass can talk the talk and walk the walk.
Prove me wrong.

Prove me wrong.
[/QUOTE]
Those 3 words right there bro...those do it.
I understand where you're coming from and know that for some, being drunk is a trigger...I should rephrase my original, I have a few beers, I rarely get "drunk". I know it's about avoiding/dealing with triggers....as it is after a big meal....sex...whatever it is, I have my quit plan seared into my brain, written out and always with me to deal with "life's triggers" and a few beers used to be one of those.
Beatin a dead horse now...Thanks for the words...I'll keep this handy for my HOF not to prove you wrong but to make you proud.

I may very well not be too popular after this; however, I see this argument and advice all the time.
I did not refrain from drinking. Never even occurred to me.
Having said that, I am an old fart with kids and a business. I don't go clubbing. I'm not out at bars, or going to parties. When I come home at night, I have a drink or two. I don't socialize with people, let alone smokers or dippers.
I think the stronger point being made is, do not put yourself in a position where you will have an opportunity to cave - drunk or sober.
In my living room at 10 pm, or watching the Super Bowl at home with a couple drinks in me is not going to lead to a cave.
When I was 27, and still going out with my buds getting hammered and chasing snatch, well, then I would DEFINITELY recommend abstaining from booze for a good while.
So, booze or no booze, IMO, guard your quit. It IS your life right now.

Nice conversation! You guys have hit it on the head, be aware of your surroundings. Don't put yourself in harms way. If you can pay at the pump do so. No need to go inside and get tempted. Don't think, nah that won't be me. Believe me, we've seen failures come from much less shit than that. Y'all have a fine weekend; hatecope keep stuffing your lip buddy and keeping those fatcats at NST happy.

I may very well not be too popular after this; however, I see this argument and advice all the time.
I did not refrain from drinking. Never even occurred to me.
Having said that, I am an old fart with kids and a business. I don't go clubbing. I'm not out at bars, or going to parties. When I come home at night, I have a drink or two. I don't socialize with people, let alone smokers or dippers.
I think the stronger point being made is, do not put yourself in a position where you will have an opportunity to cave - drunk or sober.
In my living room at 10 pm, or watching the Super Bowl at home with a couple drinks in me is not going to lead to a cave.
When I was 27, and still going out with my buds getting hammered and chasing snatch, well, then I would DEFINITELY recommend abstaining from booze for a good while.
So, booze or no booze, IMO, guard your quit. It IS your life right now.
NOLAQ has it right. GUARD is the proper emphasis. Doe absolutely everything to can to keep your quit solid!
Totally agree! I haven't been to a club in years. Have a great weekend and guard your quit! Cheers

Nice conversation! You guys have hit it on the head, be aware of your surroundings. Don't put yourself in harms way. If you can pay at the pump do so. No need to go inside and get tempted. Don't think, nah that won't be me. Believe me, we've seen failures come from much less shit than that. Y'all have a fine weekend; hatecope keep stuffing your lip buddy and keeping those fatcats at NST happy.
Excellent discussion gentlemen; If I may, can we either close it out or move it over to General Discussion? I just hate seeing a thread started by this doosh at the top of the page all day.
Thanks.
