Title: Trying to start the process
Post by: johnnyo2411 on December 01, 2010, 11:52:00 PM
I'm a college Student who's having alot of trouble starting the process of quitting. I'm only 19 but after reading many of the posts I realized I don't want to have to deal with the pains and obstacles later in life that come with dipping, along with The big C (cancer). I started when I was about 15, so I have been dipping for 4 years. I recently went two days without a chew, which was easy because it was Thanksgiving Break. But as soon as I got back to school all the work seemed to pile on and the stress increased because it is right around finals time. So of course I abandoned my vigilant process of quitting and succumbed to the chew. I am hoping that by only having about one a day (versus the 1/2 to full can a day that I would sometimes get to) I can start quitting, and no longer be a slave to nicotine. I really love this site and it is the first support group I've ever really been apart of so I hope that it will help me beat this habit.

You either quit or you don't, there is NO try. Flush that shit and NEVER touch it again. There is no other way.

Simple? Yes
Easy? fuck no

Yeah yeah yeah... I said the same fucking thing. I've tried to cut back more times than I can count. It just plain dosent work. Like sensei said, quit or don't. We don't TRY here. We fucking QUIT. If you want to half ass it then find another group to complain too. But if you are serious about quitting then we got your back. But you have to be SERIOUS! Read everything on this site, sign up, post roll every day ect....

Listen up Johnny.

You're on this site which is a good first step.
Next step is to stop dicking around with the "one a day" bullshit. If you're getting by with one a day then you can get by with NONE A DAY!!! Dump the shit.

You are a young man early in your addiction. You might not think you are but yes you are. You're smart enough to know the shit is bad and you should stop.
It's good that you have seen some of the pain that we have gone through over the years trying to Quit.

Stop finding excuses to keep chewing. Things like, "stressful school work" and "I have my finals".
Guess what.... that's fucking life. You're going to have stressful moments after you graduate, at your work, with your family, etc.....

Get serious and Quit. Learn how to use this site and I promise you that it will work.

Brian

I agree with Brian and would also like to say. Stop looking for reasons to continue chewen and start looking for reasons to stop. I guarantee between you, me and everyone reading this that we can find more reasons to Quit!

Get on board and throw that shit away!

Ironic that a person can feel so invincible in their youth yet lack the strength to take control of their life.

"So of course I abandoned my vigilant process of quitting and succumbed to the chew."

This is the worst thing I've ever seen typed on this forum. To put it in college freshman terms: OMG. Fail. Pwned. Fucking ridiculous.

johnny, ive only been quit 10 days and on this site less than that. It doesnt take long to realize that the mindset these vets instill is not "try" to quit or "hope" to kick this habit. they will shake that thinking out of you and make you realize this is a war and your mindset needs to be "just fucking do it" stop whining and thinking about maybe "trying". you are in college so you are smart enough to know this shit is terrible and addictive, you are just not experienced enough to know how to approach quit. learn from the hard experience of these vets and just be lucky you havent been called a Meat Whistle yet..

I'm 7 days in.

Here is a bonus regarding finals: You will not need as much sleep if you kick the can in the nut sack.

If I chewed in college it would have sucked for me because I drank a lot. Don't know if this is an issue for you but if it is you may want to find excuses not to hit the parties like studying for finals, hanging with a chicker or multiples there of or some heavy physical exertion like mountain biking, the gym or try finding an honest politician (probably the hardest thing to do right there).

You either decide to quit or you dont its that simple man.

College,tests, girlfriends,wifes,rent, jobless, people getting sick or dying, NO EXCUSE TO DIP AND NEVER WILL BE. You can everything you have with a dip without a dip I swear.

NO MAN UP THROW THAT SHIT OUT AND POST ROLL IN MARCH.

I quit half way through studying 6-8 hours a day for 4 months for my state nursing board exam. And I just took my state exam today. 205 questions in 3 hours, if I can do it, so can you! I Private Messaged you, so you can do this! Don't think you can't!
