Hello my name is Mark and I am an Addict.
I have chewed or dipped on and off for the past 20 years (mostly on) I live in the South and just is some weird rite of passage growing up.
The truth is I love Copenhagen , I like the way it tastes and I like the way it makes me feel , It is always there for me.
Wherever I am it has always been within armÂ’s reach.
I wish I had some “Life Changing” moment or reached Rock Bottom and decided I had to quit but that is not true.
I use to hope that maybe I would have some kind of Accident that put me in a Coma and I would wake up not wanting it anymore.
I wake up every day now and want it , after every meal I want it , I do anything outside and want it, I sit at my Desk and want it, I watch TV and want it.
I told myself if I could go 3 days without it I would be “ Home Free” …. Boy was I WRONG !
I am just hanging in here try to reach the Shore through the Fog.

First off Mark-- congrats for choosing to quit!! The next few days will be the shits-- You will have a support group second to none here at KTC. As you have probably seen we are NO NICOTIENE at all!!! in any form.
I dipped for 40 years -I am quit 77 days only because of the support I have here!!
First POST ROLL every day as early as possible and promise to stay nic free for that day--come back tomorrow and do it again!! Post roll now if you haven't yet today.
We start your support group here and now . I will pm you my phone # Use it if you need to talk....

Mark - welcome. Glad you got my PM, feel free to call or text if you need to. Seriously. I know it's weird - "Hey, I'm talking with this guy I met on the internet" - but it works.
I see you've posted roll in July - they're a good solid group over there. Make sure you post every day, as early as possible. Start the day off saying, "No, I'm not going to chew or smoke or use nicotine today, because I'm a QUITTER!"... then keep your promise. Come to the forum if you have questions, want to yell about how much it sucks and how unfair it is, whatever. We have ALL been there, we know what it's like, and we will do whatever it takes to help you get through the fog and the craves and the messed-up days.
Listen to what the folks here tell you. Like I said - it may sound weird at first, by man, it does work.

Welcome to the team, you can do this. But first, you need to get your mind right. You don't love Copenhagen, bud. If you did, you wouldn't be here. That is pure addict-speak and you need to get it out of your mind. Read my signature to see copenhagen for what it really is. Love is giving. All Copenhagen did is take. Once you flip that switch, this whole process will become much clearer, not easier, clearer. You got this.

Trust me, its gonna get way worse before it gets any better. The struggle is real and theres no easy way to escape it. Its gonna take hard work and most of all determination but you CAN do it!! I dipped a can a day for 24 years and put it down cold turkey and walked away. I have been there and know exactly what your going through and how you feel. don't ever forget this feeling because once you get it whooped you don't ever wanna have to go back through this again.
Its 95% mental and 5% everything else. Train your mind and you will beat this. If you need my digits hmu

Welcome to the club Mark. You definitely came to the right place. I chewed for the past 11 years and thought I would be a chewer for life. Also, like you, I woke up one random day and said 'fuck it, I'm going to quit today.' I didn't have a reason other than the fact that I hated that I spit out a chew before bed and reached toward the nightstand when I woke up. It controlled my life.
I definitely needed more accountability than I had in my life and I wanted support from people that had gone through what I was about to (and currently am). Signing up was one of the best decisions of my life and I can honestly say that I would not be on Day 33 if it was not for KTC. The support, stories, and the daily promise really make quitting more tolerable. I am happy you stumbled upon this site and I am happy to quit with you today and for many more tomorrows.
Remember to post roll every morning. It is that voice in your head telling you "NO" when another craving inevitably comes along later in the day. It has been a huge help because only an asshole breaks a promise.

Good job on your quit. Keep your word. These guys and gals will help you through your quit. I am here also...I'm no one special just another addict. If you need to talk....PM me and I will give you my digits.

Welcome. Congratulations on making a good decision.
The main thing I suggest is to drink Orange Juice to replace the sugars your brain used to produce when you dipped.
Make sure you do the common sense stuff like:
Exercise every day,
Eat every meal and do not skip. Skipping will cause you tension and craves.
Get plenty of sleep.
Once you turn that switch in your head off that debates whether you should dip again or not, it all gets easier. You just get through the day be focusing on something other than the craves, come here for inspiration, and then add another +1 to your quit count tomorrow.
PM me if you want my digiits.
I quit with you today. Day 591, 40 + year user of 2 cans a day of Cherry Skoal
