Title: Quitting Tomorrow
Post by: shawnericolson on April 20, 2015, 08:53:00 PM
Hello all,

My name is Shawn and I just wanted to introduce myself. I am planning to quit chewing tomorrow morning and am already freaking out about it. It's like I already have anxiety, and am scared.

I have been chewing Copenhagen snuff for about 12 years. I am 32 years old. I have a 2.5 yr old daughter and the time has come. I need to quit for many reasons.

I am hoping this website will help me on this journey.

Thanks for your time.

Shawn

Shawn,

I can tell you that this is the place to learn about your enemy, study your enemy and kick that dirty bitch to the curb. Get on over to the welcome center and read how to post roll. Next, don't wait until tomorrow, look at your little girl and ask yourself if sucking on cancer and putting her as less important than your tin of cancer is really what you want to do.

Then, grab your onions and walk over to the toilet and flush that fucking cancer dirt down the toilet. If you throw it away you will dig through the trash like we all have done before. You are an addict, in an addict, this entire site is full of addicts. We can't worry about tomorrow, we can only pay the price of admission here by posting roll every damn day. YOu get up in the morning, go to the July pre HOF group and post roll every fucking day, that gives you the keys to the kingdom.

Roll is a promise to not touch nicotine in any form for that day. Your only as good as your word and by posting every day all you need to do to quit is honor your word. Stack up on safety nets like seeds and fake if you need it and use them over the next few days of the suck. Embrace the suck, state that shit in the face and ever craving think about your freedom and most importantly your family. I promise you it gets better and this nic bitxh will loosen her grip every day you honor your word.

Welcome aboard, balls in your court, quit now and tell cancer to 'Finger' off and join us in quit

Yep, flush the crap now! I made those tomorrow plans for 40 years. It never really comes. This group got on me when I came here with plans for a postponed quit do I'm gonna pass it on to you. Do it now and the remaining hours of today will count as your day one.

Hi Shawn

Man, I am gonna be watching this intro like a hawk today. Because I kne how difficult tomorrow really is. I threw out probably thousands of half full cans with the intent of tomorrow, only to fail over and over. Today is the day my friend! It is time for you to be in control of your life. To be the one driving your decisions. Tone making choices that are healthy and financially viable for you and your family.

I hope you read your intro again. I'm not slamming you here Shawn, because a lot of us felt the same way, but when you really think about it... A little round can with some chopped up plant is causing you anxiety about throwing it out? I mean, dude that's pretty fucked up right there... Right? That alone should give you some reasons to move forward on this great journey.

You can do this man. Don't put it off one more second. there is too much at stake. You can do this.

I want to thank you all for your replies...

Well, I did it. I threw that fuckin Copenhagen can away. I dumped it down the toilet first, cuz I knew i'd be diggin for that shit this morning.

I am about 5 hours clean into my day and HOLY FUCK!

I can definitely feel it, but I am going to stay strong. I will not chew today.

I will go check out that post roll - although I don't quite fully understand it yet.

Really though guys, thanks for the replies, and yes, when you think about it, it is dumb to have anxiety over a fucking tin can of plants!!!

Shawn,

I'm on day 4, so I can't tell you how much better it gets, yet. I *can* tell you that quitting sucks and it's hard, and your 2.5 year old will drive you nuts for a few days. Because your intro reads like mine. I'm 32, I've been using cope for 12 years, I've got a two and a half year old daughter.

The time HAS come and if you lean on us, you'll be successful.
Join the July Jackals GroupMe thingy and tell us about the fog, and the rage, and your girl, and anything you want to. We're your brothers now and we won't let you fail at this. Your daughter deserves better than to see you die a slow and agonizing death, your jaw dissected and your taste buds burned out of your mouth.

Flush the poison and quit with me today.

I'll see you at roll call.

Day 4!! Nice dude!! I am super jealous hahah. I just want a week to go by without me noticing. All I can think about it Copenhagen...... I have to just make myself do other stuff.

Yours and my situation is very similar! Maybe we can lean on each other through this whole thing... Because it isn't easy.

Kasherms pointed out you posted in April so I added you to July. You were close, just 3 months ahead. I'll take that as being eager to begin.

Go to July 15, go to most recent page, scroll to the bottom, you'll see your name and day 1 beside it about halfway down. July quitters post at the top. July supporters post at the bottom.

Not easy doesn't really do it justice. It will be a maddening struggle. They call it the suck because it's just that. Remember these next 3 to 4 days. Only go through it once, in other words, this is your quit. Post roll every day, keep the promise to stay quit, then do it again tomorrow.

In the meantime, keep that belly full of water at all times to flush out the bad shit. Helps lessen then suck.

Welcome aboard Shawn! This is the best thing you have ever done for yourself.

If you need another number for accountability or anything just let me know. The first few days... That plant in a can puts up a hell of a fight. But trust me, if I can do it, you can do it. Winning is a great thing. You have lost for many years in this one part of your life. Taking control back is a feeling that you are really going to enjoy. Brotherhood (making connections here, getting phone numbers, using them) + accountability (post roll in your group first thing when your eyeballs own for the day, then keep your word) = SUCCESS

Guess what, Shawn? You were consistently late or absent from roll. So was I surprised that you caved? Fuck no, because you never really quit. Get a clue, before you end up taking all your meals with a tube, dipshit.
