Proving to myself I can quit. Well here I am. I have dipped a can a day for 28 years. I have gotten to the point where I put a small amount in to sleep with. I have attempted to quit a bunch of times never making it a day. This time when I got my wife more papers and tobacco I said I might as well quit. I did just that at and had my last chew at 23:00 on the 23rd. My first 72hrs are almost up and the fog is thick.
-
Welcome. LOOT will quit with you. Just for today tho. We'll see about tomorrow...tomorrow.
Cya then. Maybe.
-
Welcome 8UP, glad to have you as a fellow November quitter. Stay close to the site, it works. Post roll daily and you'll have all the support you need. Quit one day at a time. Don't even think about forever. That was some of the best advice I got early in my quit. If you need a number send me a message. I'll hold you accountable if you hold me accountable. We got this.
-
8up,
Glad is right on. If you stay close to this site, post roll everyday and e accountable to your fellow quitters just for today, we'll get through it. PM anyone for help.
I am glad to quit with you today.
-
Good job on posting a day 3. I posted up today. I am looking for your day 4. Post up. PM me if you need anything. You can count on me. 1 day at a time. Today.
-
Thanks guys. Its day 4 and I will not chew today. I am not like most that quit so I won't promise that I won't start back. I will not start back on a day I give my word not to do so though. I have did some research and figure with my lifestyle there are more likely things to kill me. I chew to kill time and I have lots of it. I have a few other outlooks but they are better left to me lol. Right now I am doing it so I can say it can be done i you really want too

Huh???? Not sure what to take from that. Kinda bizarre comment that you "won't promise that I won't start back." Why even bother then???

If you really want to quit, you can do it. I promise you that. So if you are only quitting to see if it can be done, you can stop. It can be done.
I hope you stay and post roll everyday. Wake up every morning and see if you quit one more day. But based on your comments if you miss roll one day, we can only assume that it is so you can stuff your mouth with chew. And that is not purpose of this site.

8up. I hope you stay.
For the rest of us. All caves are planned. This is what the planning phase might look like.
When your cranium starts this crap, reach out, read, grab some balls, help another. Caving is not an option. Planning a cave is just the precursor.

What the fuck does this mean? One of the things that's awesome about this site is the fortitude that folks show. The mental strength to change themselves in the face of adversity. You, my limp dick friend, have not got your mind right.
My interpretation of this comment is you have already solidified a path to return to being a slave. I applaud you for admitting that you will not break your word that you will not use but that doesn't really mean much because you never believed you quit.
There is no cave.

You are right Souli.
I started out writing a bunch of surly stuff. I was wrong to do that. I have edited out that bullshit.
8up, I am not surprised that you have "run the math" and you will likely die of something else. Caves are planned and drug addicts plan them. That is addict talk if I have ever heard it. I should know, I am a drug addict. Your addicted cranium if feeding you the biggest line of bullshit ever. Yes, you can die from this shit. This is not a joke. Yes, it is hard. Yes, you are an addict. The truth also is that yes, you can beat this and yes, it gets easier. Don't plan. Quit today. Quit 1 day at a time. Don't plan...Do.

Souliman your foul mouth and lack of vocabulary appall me please refrain from further comment.
Look up the odds of throat cancer are higher for a smoker that a chewer. I have bipolar suicide is more likely to get me than cancer from dip.
I was not trying to prove to others on here I can do this but to others in my life that keep saying they are trying to quit smoking but "Its so hard"
My intention was not to make light of the achievements of those on this sight,

Fallacies abound here.
Tourists are not welcome. Move along.

Your missing the point man! You wouldn't walk into an AA meeting and say I'm just trying this sober thing out, I'll probably have a beer on the way home. That is disrespectful! The real question is if you did sucessfully quit why would you ever want to go back?????

My sincere apologies my friend for offending your sensibilities. I realize my complete lack of emotional control and inferior education combine for truly irrational reactions sometimes. For this, I am sorry. After reading the thread, I rushed too quickly to judge you as having a pair of ruffled, pink wet panties for a spine. For this, I'm sorry. I want to apologize to you for my own failure. My attempt at summoning your inner strength and resolve to finally arrest the ingestion of poisons and carcinogens was lack luster and really a poor attempt. Wow. I really let myself down. If you would allow, I would like to make another attempt?
You are a pathetic child. How the fuck do you get up and look at yourself in the mirror? Of all the ridiculous asswipes to come through here I have not heard of anyone being so careless with their life. If you can make a change to prevent the further risk of cancer, DO IT. Hey, I got news for you...consciously deciding to further ingest nicotine is suicide already. You have already shown you have the strength to start this, what in this world could make you abort at this point? Have you resigned to dying a terrible death or being permanently disfigured (chicks don't dig "half jaws"...though I'm pretty sure you're only smuggling raisins in your Jockeys so chicks probably don't matter to you). The transformation that comes with beating addiction will change this lack luster attitude you have towards life. You won't give up. You'll look each day as to where you can succeed. Join us pathetic fuckup! Join us in this fight. I'll quit with you regardless of this death wish you seem to have accepted. I'll fight with you daily. I will be your quit sherpa. Heck there will be times when you will be mine as well. This place will change your life. I believe that. I know it. I've seen enough folks determine that what they offer the world is indeed valuable to themselves and others around them. So throw out that attitude and lets start fresh.
Welcome to the fight friend. This isn't an attempt. This is taking back control of your life.

I found this sight when I was almost at my 72 hr mark and thought hey cool. But The people here seemed ok until I told my truth I'm sorry. I will no longer post as I can see this is a very serious thing to many.
Souli your words can do more damage to a persons life than a can of chew. Just your tone and language show your a miserable sob. Maybe even your life is worth something to someone good luck all I will be awol

You can find all the love in the world here. You can become acquainted with others you can call at 2 in the morning and they will answer to help you. They will drive hours to be by your side. Will do any and everything they can for you.
You can also display one of the stupidest fucking comments I have seen here in 710 days.
I am not like most that quit so I won't promise that I won't start back
Are you fucking shitting me? Either you are quit and damn serious about it our you can peddle you little narrow bitch ass along!
There are other places out there that will tickle your ass with a feather and coddle your balls whilst telling you it's ok to have that attitude. THIS ISN"T IT!
Get your head screwed on straight and don't be disrespectful to those that are serious about changing their lives!

Take control of your life. If words have the power of inducing the chain reaction of cancer, I truly have become powerful.
More powerful than you can possibly imagine.
But I promise to only use my power for good like getting free lunch and seeing boobs whenever I can.
-
8up. You are such a drug addict. Displayed post by post by post. I quit with soul, raz, Lock, bowman, parputt. Thanks for your support brothers. Best of luck 8up, cause luck is all you have.
8up, you my friend are truly a unique and special butterfly. A beautiful snowflake. The rules simply are different for you? Brother, don't take a seat in the lifeboat if you are not serious about saving you life. Trust me, someone else wants the seat.

This is the best point in this entire thread.
And saying Souli has the power of a thousand Gods. That was a good point, too. Well.. that wasn't implicitly stated, but I think that's the message I got.

I can work with that guy because he is telling the truth.
BTW I just hit 96 hrs
-
If you are serious about quit we are all serious about supporting it. Bring it.
-
I'm on board. Though 8up stuffed a bar of Life Buoy in my mouth for dropping F-bombs. I will have to reformulate my approach to cheering him on.
-
8up,
You have two quit Sherpas if you are committed. We only ask that you commit 100%.

"This guy's walking down the street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep he can't get out.
"A doctor passes by and the guy shouts up, 'Hey you. Can you help me out?' The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on.
"Then a priest comes along and the guy shouts up, 'Father, I'm down in this hole can you help me out?' The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on
"Then a friend walks by, 'Hey, Joe, it's me can you help me out?' And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, 'Are you stupid? Now we're both down here.' The friend says, 'Yeah, but I've been down here before and I know the way out.'"
Looks like a whole lotta people jumped in the hole with you.
Balls in your court.
-
I have picked up the ball and plan to kick the chit out of it everyday. I hope I never have to pull anyone in the whole with me.
Thank you all especially Souli, Scowick65 and Ready
my first question to Souli is this. Who is in mchapman's avatar?

Headaches, insomnia and such are quite common for the first few weeks. You body chemistry is changing and your body is rewiring. Readapting to a life without nic. Tylenol is good. TylenolPM is great for insomnia. You might have to suffer a bit to get to the other side. It is worth it though.
Oh, try to remember the suck as we say. It will never suck again if you keep nic out of your body.

Thank you

Paging a quit Sherpa please! :)

Drink a shit ton of water. It'll help with the headaches and flush the nicotine out of your system.

Glad to see you have crossed over from the darkside.
Get some pure cranberry juice. Not that sugary crap. Its taste is borderline nasty, but it really helps.
Hang in there it gets much better!

Thanks for the help

Give'em hell 8. Bring the quit brother. First with the left fist, then the right. Repeat.
Say it out loud "I QUIT'. Yeah that feels good don't it? Just don't do it walking out the door at work...sends the wrong message.
