Hey all,
Ever take a dip and say, " Damn, this tastes like Sh*t"? Seemed to happening more often for me here of late. I just opened this can this morning and it seemed fine but after I got to work and had a cup of coffee, "Damn, this taste like Sh*t" happened again. I have been dipping Cope for 37 years and have tried to quite on 5 other occassions. On 3 occassions I would have thought i was really done. One was right after I started and I took a big swig of what I thought was coke but happened to be my spit can. The second time was when I was thrown in the brig for 45 days without any. But ooohhh no, I had to buy a can as soon as got out. and the third, well my employer offered me a thousand dollars if I quit. I lasted 2 days. This is my 6th time and i am happy I found this site to help me and let me rant if need be. (They said I can rant). I finally came to the realization that I haven't kissed my wife really good (tounge) for a long time as she says she doesn't like the smell of or the taste of Cope. (Really, it just started tasting like Sh*t to me here lately). Anyway, at 10:17 am this morning i took the last of my dip out. At 11:10 am I walked into my bosses office and gave him a darn near new can, went to the grocery store and bought me some gum and lifesavers. (Dern, I forgot how much I like butterrum lifesavers). I am really going to try and give this a real shot this time. I am going to start a quit Dip journel and keep track of my daily torchers.
Pray for me as I think this is going to be one of the worst trips to get to where I need to be. 3 hours in and a life time to go.

You made the first step. That's what matters. Now get hooked in with your Quit Group. Get some numbers and some fellas to hold you accountable. Take it moment by moment. It's gonna be rough, but that's what all these guys who went before us are here for. Lean on them. Learn from them. STAY QUIT!
It's a choice. Damn tough one, but a choice, none-the-less.
Let me know if I can help in anyway.

Welcome GerryL!! Congrats on the great decision to kill the can. Now here is what you do...prepare for the suck. That violent and foggy feeling, that's the suck, we all have fought through it, you need to do it too. It makes you stronger, never forget today. Glad you got some live savers gum (not the nic type). Get you some toothpicks, cranberry juice (helps with the withdrawls) and drink LOTS of water. The nicotine will be out of your system in 72 hours.
Today is your day 1. Go to quit groups and find May 13
That is the group you'll be posting roll in. Posting roll is a DAILY PLEDGE to your newly found quit brothers that you will NOT USE NIC TODAY. One day at a time, that's how we quit. I quit 94 days ago after sucking cope for 19 years. You can do it too, just take it one day, one crave at a time.
I will PM you my contact information. Call me if you need to. Also, don't be afraid to jump into live chat.

Welcome Gerry. You have come to the right place for some help. We can't quit for you but will support you through all the crap you are about to go through. You should read all you can on this site about quitting, as it will explain and prepare you for the various mental, physical and physiological changes you will experience in the days, weeks and months to come. Sounds like a blast right? But do not fear it...learn from it so you won't be tempted to put that shit in your mouth again. We are here for you. Check your inbox, as I have PM you my telephone number. Wayne

I am really going to try and give this a real shot this time.
LOOT was all in with you ...until right here.
Let's get a couple of things strait.
1. You are an addict. Write it 100 times. Sign your name to it. Put it under your pillow. Understand it's an addiction, not a habit, an addiction that the best you can do is be in "recovery" from.
2. There is no "try". You "tried" 5 other times and you failed miserably. It's OK, you are in good company. LOOT tried a buncha times too. However, "try" is not a word that has any place in your vocabulary. We don't "try"...we don't "give it a shot"...those are chickenshit approaches to a very, very serious situation. No try...only do. DO...AM...WILL...those are empowering words. Those are words you need to use.
So. With that in mind, let's fix your sentence.
"I am really gonna gut punch this muthafucka this time". You try it.
Get your mind right bro. Get mad. Get ready. Get it done.
Post Roll Call everyday and then, be a man of your word.
One last thing....you don't need prayers. They are nice, but not a requirement. You...are ultimately in control of YOU. We can help you. We can show you how. We can support you when you really want to use those chickenshit words again. We can listen when you need to yell. We can comfort when the depression kicks in. But best of all...we can be living, breathing, unselfish examples of how to own an addiction. But it will do you little good if you are unwilling to drink the kool-aid.
Welcome to the site. Congrats on that badass Day 1. Don't ever forget Day 1. You forget...you die.
No pressure.
Shout if you need anything.

" I am really going to try and give this a real shot this time. "

-
welcome best damn decision you have made for your self. now let the suck begin. quit with you today.
-
Gerry, like you I've been addicted for 4 decades. However every can was going to be my last and hundreds of attempts to quit. I had numerous 'tries' from days to 3 years but always came slipping back in for that 1 dip that wouldn't hurt. I never really enjoyed the taste that much either but that fucking bitch kept coming back because I am an addict! If your truely ready to quit like the others have said there is no trying about it. 306 days ago when I flushed my last 3 cans of cope I knew I wasn't trying I fucking QUIT!

Welcome GerryL,
Print what Loot said and frame it. It is going to save your life. Find a mirror and read it to yourself until you're either crying, mad and screaming or both.
You can do this, I promise.
Get to work sir GerryL!

Quit is looking good so far!! I see you posted roll yesterday today.

Congrats on posting roll Gerry-me-boy. How many times have you read what Loot posted? I've read it thrice times, and it still isn't enough. That was some authoritative quitting advice that we all should adhere to. When Loot gives advice I get a funny feeling in my undies. Know what I mean? That kind of preaching excites me.
Speaking of exciting I haven't kissed my wife really good (tounge) for a long time as she says she doesn't like the smell of or the taste of Cope
You got some class my friend. Whether it's the smell or taste of cope that turns her off, or just that you've gotten gross over your 37 years self-destruction, send that lady to the Spouse Section (http://www.killthecan.org/community/spouse.asp) to help her understand what addiction to dip is and she'll better understand how to help.
Glad you're here. I hope you stay.

Call out the guards Loot has molested another quitter!

Thanks LOOT and everyone helping me keep it together.

Last activity...Feb 2nd. 6 posts.
Slow down son...yous gonna hurt sumpin.
Again...prayers are nice, but as you've demonstrated (and we all know as fact ourselves) won't/can't keep you clean.
You'd be better served listening to the unselfish examples around you.
It's a simple concept bro.
