Quote from: 6yearsandcounting
I started doing dip 6 years ago when I was making the 13 hour drive to college by myself and did it off and on without any problems. However a year or two later I got mono and then after several months of that went right into appendicitis. The entire time I was still full time in college and was now working almost full time at work. Caffeine gave me the jitters so I used nicotine all waking hours to keep up with all that I had on my plate. When the mono and appendicitis were all taken care of, I couldn't stop.

So, here I am wondering how the years have passed and trying to remember all the times I have tried to cut back or quit. I have a sore in my mouth that I need to have looked at and am scared to death that I might have to pay the price for my stupidity. I have dumped so many tins out the car window, down the toilet, or out in the yard and tried to not get another one but always fail. First few times I would go a few weeks, and then the stress would hit and I'd fall right back. Now my quitting attempts hardly last 24 hours and the past year has been more like a depressing movie with an unbelievable twist of tragic deaths, house fire, and life changes. I've had all the people that I looked up to growing up now turning to me and asking for my advice and my help. When my mom died last year, I went from the baby of the family to the glue of the family and the shoulders that carry everything.

I now work full time and do school full time and the stress of life is killing me. I keep telling myself that when school is done (basically after this semester) I'll quit for real, but I'm not sure my body can take much more without serious repercussions. My wife thinks I quit and I can't talk to her about it because she freaks out about it even when I admit I had one pinch a while back. I can't tell her I go through a tin or two every week... on a good week. I've heard juice and nicotine gum help curb the craving but god knows they don't touch it. When you are use to a pinch that fills the whole side of your mouth or sometimes a horseshoe, that little piece of gum, or heck 3 of them, don't do a thing. I've tried different dip tobacco-free alternatives and sunflower seeds but nothing gets me the fix. My resolve is strong but with my schedule, I am tired and stressed every moment of every day and I crack. I write all this so that I can hear someone say that they were here. So that real people can tell me what they did to quit. I feel pathetic but I need the encouragement and I need the pointers. I have a pack of Hooch (tobacco-free substitute) in the mail and when it gets here I am going to try and give this one last shot. 'bang head'
Don't wait on the HOOCH to arrive. Don't quit in the future. When the HOOCH gets here, you will have a report due and your mind will tell you that you need to wait until........ well, a day other than right now.

Keep reading this site. Like all of us, you're an addict. Fortunately for you, this place has a plan that works.

To be quit is hard, but people do it here everyday, one day at a time. It's easy if you use this site by posting roll early every morning as your promise not to use nicotine in any form that day. Then your whole goal in life becomes doing whatever it takes (seeds, gum, fake dip, gerbling) to keep nicotine out of your body for one day. We can all quit for one day, right?

Also, we don't "try" here. If you're really ready to quit, you will do whatever it takes not to ingest nicotine. So, be a man and DO it. I see that Scowick sent you some reading material to get you started on what we do here. So get to reading. If I can do it, you can do it. Dump all nicotine around you and get busy quitting.

My opinion: Wanna know why you haven't quit yet? 'Cuz you're 'trying' to quit. Do. Do not try.

We quit here. Period. Nic gum is nicotine = bad, = not allowed here.

Are you going to let a little round can with a metal lid own your life?

Are you a man of your word? Can you keep your word for today and JUST today?

Don't wine about how stressed you are, or how much work you have, or how busy your life is. It's all lies. Lies told to you by yourself just so you can continue to finger bang your can. The first thing you need to do is be honest with yourself.

Read this. (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=3953)

Then come back when you have the answer.

We're here to quit, and to win our lives back. We have what you want: freedom.

Drink the Kool Aid and welcome to the freak show.

If you are indeed ready, PM me and I can help you along.

i used to be like you. i couldn't think of anything i wanted more after a stressful day than a fatty.

you just need to sack up and quit for one day. post roll, keep your word. you can do one day. don't do it for your wife, friends, etc. do it for yourself because you want to live your life with an intact jaw. because you're tired of being someone's bitch (the nic bitch).

do that for one day. then wake up and give your word on day two. rinse, lather, repeat.

you can do it man. you may think your situation is unique but we've all been there.

Thanks guys. And yea, I hate being a nic bitch. lol. I like the term. As lame as it is I ordered a killthecan wrist band thing in hopes that if I never take it off, having the tangible reminder of what I am doing and where I can go to blow off some steam about how much it sucks will help. I'm also reading all the links that have been posted. Again, thanks guys.
Got mine on right now. Its a great reminder and I don't take it off for that reason. Besides my wedding ring its the most important thing I wear

And yet, I see only three posts: Two here, and one in another Introduction.

No posting roll.

What's the deal 6years? Are you for real or are you still just 'trying' to quit?

What does it take for you to take back your life from a worthless leaf?

I work full time and am full time in college. Not much time. In class now and my stomach is churning cause I want my nic. I read the instructions on how to post roll call but can't figure out where it is. I'm quitting and today has sucked bad, both computer issues at work and now bad cravings and the feeling that I can't handle all the withdrawal symptoms with so much else going on but I know that that will always be an excuse its gonna be a long rest of the day. Work all day then go straight to classes till 9.  Worst day of the week to seriously start my quit and stay clean. No nic gum or anything to take off the edge.
Look in the top left corner of this page and navigate to:

Or just click HERE (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=4518). Don't worry for now, whether you're doing it right. Just get in there, post your promise not to use, keep your promise, and come back tomorrow.

Prayers sent on your behalf, but do you really want what I prayed for? That's what some here wonder. Post roll and show you plan to be accountable for choosing not to use and to hold others accountable to choose not to use.

Plenty of times in my life my life seemed so shitty that I didn't much mind the slow suicide route I knew I was taking using dip...I gotta get mine, life sucks anyway. But then there were times that things got better and unfortunately I was still a f'ing addict and the time wasn't convenient to quit. So back into the lying and sneaking and abusing relationships again cycle because I wasn't willing to be accountable to me for my life and my choices. Then at another down and crappy point in life I decided to start treating my life like it mattered to me and then I could allow it to matter and bless others. No externalities made it a better or worse time to quit, I chose the time.

It ain't easy but it's doable. You're worth more than a 20 minute dip realize it and get your heart, soul and mind in line with that. It's ok to be scared, depressed and freaked out--many of us were. Now start post rolling and show me you're gonna hold me accountable to quit tonight and tomorrow and you'll be surprised how much more achievable your quit is.

You have taken the time to be on this site and vent. You have NOT posted roll yet that I see. I want you to post roll. Make yourself accountable to yourself like you make yourself accountable to others. After, send me a PM. I am going to watch you like a hawk.

Pray if you pray cross ur fingers if you don't.
Let us dissect:
Quote
You know this site is about quitting for yourself. And that's exactly my problem... the only thing I do for myself is taking a few minutes out of my crazy schedule to throw in a lip and chill for 20 minutes.
You don't do this for you. You put in a lip turd because you're an addict, just like me.

Quote
I hate my job (as most people do) and I hate college.
The entire tirade after this statement was useless. If you hate your life, change it. But, that's not what this site is all about, so I'm going to skip the whole subject.
Quote
Dip is all I do for me.
Why don't you quit for you instead?
Quote
The craving is killing me
No....cancer will kill you. Cravings just suck for a while.
Quote
not only does it suppress my appetite, keep me awake when on a good night I maybe eek out 7 hours of sleep, usually only 5 or 6 and at least twice a week only 4, and it keeps me from snapping at my wife when I come home so stressed I'm ready to scream at someone. 
All of the above is the bullshit that an addict tells himself to keep using. It's all a lie that the nic bitch whispers in your ear. Fuck her. Fuck her right in the two hole.
Quote
I can't even fathom getting through this.
You're not alone. Many of US couldn't imagine life without dip. I'm here to tell you...it's awesome!
Quote
I hate how pathetic I sound about this
Yea? I hate how pathetic you sound, too. Why don't you man the fuck up and just quit?
Quote
I'm just a whiney bitch who can't do more than try.
Do you really believe this? If so...move along. If you don't really believe this...again, man up.
Quote
I need all the nice support, firm support, and noonelikesaquitter to keep yelling at me.
Yes you do, and I don't yell. Well, ok, maybe I do a little... _
Quote
Pray if you pray cross ur fingers if you don't.
I hope the dentist visit goes well, but I think you're the kid of guy that's going to take that good news as an excuse to dip again. Are you?

You haven't posted roll. All you've done is whine about all the reasons NOT to quit. How about making a list of reasons TO quit? I'll get you strarted:

1. Dipping is going to fucking kill you.

So let' quit the bitchin' and let's get to the quittin. If you're not ready, fine. Come back when you're man enough.

Again - PM me if you need anything.

Every now and then won't cut it. You have to recognize you are an addict and you have to want to quit. If you really want to quit, then you will be in here every day, posting your promise and making yourself accountable. To do anything else opens the doors to failure.

Daily make your promise to us, then keep it. Repeat. It is the ONLY thing that has worked for me and kept me clean for 664 days. If you can't spend two minutes to do that, then quitting is not a priority.

Why waste time with this guy?

Obviously, his quit is not worth much effort from him. Why expend any resources for him?

lol. A good question to ask yourself my friend. Wouldn't you also be wasting your time then? If you think I'm a waste of time then go find another person to post on and leave me be. I'm here and I'm quit but as long as I don't replace my need for nic with my need to post here every day and feel that I need approval from people who I have no idea who they even are seems like a lame trade off. I'm quit because I don't want to need anything other than sleep, food, water, and my family. I will not be addicted to anything and need to have or do something every day of my life other than that which I need for myself and my family... if you want me to need this site, than I'm sorry some do, but I will not. My brother is my accountability and he is a face I see every day... I don't need anyone here. I appreciate the support than some have given, but unfortunately the attitude of others here and there negativity definitely out ways the good. One day at a time, and getting a plan and sticking with it are the words of the wise, but the word of the fool is do it our way or get loads of shit for it. I find it an intolerable ignorance and being crucified by those that I do not even know seems a pathetic thing to take to heart or waste my time on. You can question my devotion to this site, but just because I don't spend every moment with people I don't know on a little web site and rather choose to spend my time on necessity, and with friends and family, when necessity allows me, does not give you grounds to question my quit. So I'm quit and the next person that contemplates trying to tell me that I'm not can go fuck themselves. My devotion to my quit and my friends and family that I have told about my quit are holding me accountable are the only things I need. I do not need comments from faceless pseudonyms. So, adios putas, vio con diablo! Y muchas gracias mi amigos, dios te bendiga!

So, adios putas, vio con diablo! Y muchas gracias mi amigos, dios te bendiga!

lol. A good question to ask yourself my friend.  Wouldn't you also be wasting your time then? If you think I'm a waste of time then go find another person to post on and leave me be.  I'm here and I'm quit but as long as I don't replace my need for nic with my need to post here every day and feel that I need approval from people who I have no idea who they even are seems like a lame trade off.  I'm quit because I don't want to need anything other than sleep, food, water, and my family.  I will not be addicted to anything and need to have or do something every day of my life other than that which I need for myself and my family... if you want me to need this site, than I'm sorry some do, but I will not.  My brother is my accountability and he is a face I see every day... I don't need anyone here.  I appreciate the support than some have given, but unfortunately the attitude of others here and there negativity definitely out ways the good.  One day at a time, and getting a plan and sticking with it are the words of the wise, but the word of the fool is do it our way or get loads of shit for it.  I find it an intolerable ignorance and being crucified by those that I do not even know seems a pathetic thing to take to heart or waste my time on.  You can question my devotion to this site, but just because I don't spend every moment with people I don't know on a little web site and rather choose to spend my time on necessity, and with friends and family, when necessity allows me, does not give you grounds to question my quit.  So I'm quit and the next person that contemplates trying to tell me that I'm not can go fuck themselves.

Yup. A total out. He PM'd me. Wants me to email him so I can keep up with him while he quits on his own.

Wants someone to keep in contact with, but folks here are getting under his skin.

Sad. The answer is right there for the taking, but he's not going to take it.

Boo-fuckin'-hoo my leatherneck friend. He doesn't want to be here, let him fail on his own. He's not your (or our) concern if he leaves. He'll wisen up one day and come back under a new idenity because pussies whine, cave, get their panties in a wad and hide.

It takes up too much of my very busy day. I cannot spare 30 seconds. Always managed to find time to buy a can, pack it, place a dip, find a spitter, hide on the shitter, remove said dip, and clean my teeth. I'm currently using all that time on something more important than saving my life.

Oh, but don't worry, I'm not as addicted as you.

I'm not reading any posts by others so my apologies to anyone that has posted support because I am sorry to be rude, but I'm just not up to weeding out the others. Still clean and doing great, no real cravings and the weekends are so much easier than the workweeks but I'm rocking my quit.

Still quit and hoping that being without nicotine doesn't make me as bitchy as you guys who have. At least I know I'm in control of my life and I can quit without the necessity to have online friends that I'll never meet and show off to them by acting like a dick to other people. Day 17.

Are we supposed to be impressed here?

If you don't need us, why are you wasting bandwidth?

I'm sorry, let me put it another way....

~ahem~

In the amount of time it took you to come here and post the above BS, you could have posted roll, made your promise to a bunch of strangers who will (trust me they will) give a shit about you and your quit.

But you didn't, which makes me believe you are nothing but an attention whore who is here JUST for shock value and to disrupt a forum that quite frankly was doing great before you got here...will continue to be great when you move along little doggy...

Get in or get out.

Because there is no way to delete my account and since at one point some of you got under my skin, it's time to return the favor. I am basking in my success. But don't worry I'm in the process of being removed and I'll make it easy on the Administers of this site to see the need. Because as long as someone is swinging at me... I'm fucking swinging back. It actually motivates me on my quit to post here and brag that I'm clean and don't need dueschbag's crap. It makes me very happy. :D Thank you for helping me on my quit. I'll return the favors in like manner.

To the administers. Please feel free to delete me when you get the chance. Thank you for the support during the first week of my quit and I will continue, but I want nothing to do with this site and the majority of people on it.

My honest opinion...you WANT someone under your skin.

You KNOW you can't do this alone.

You WANT what we HAVE - Freedom.

You're just too scared to come get it.

You're too afraid to succeed.

You're too afraid to fail.

You're too afraid...

If I'm wrong, then why did you ask me to email you outside this website? You're either looking for accountability....or you're ghey...

Quote from: 6yearsandcounting
I started doing dip 6 years ago when I was making the 13 hour drive to college by myself and did it off and on without any problems.  However a year or two later I got mono and then after several months of that went right into appendicitis. The entire time I was still full time in college and was now working almost full time at work.  Caffeine gave me the jitters so I used nicotine all waking hours to keep up with all that I had on my plate.  When the mono and appendicitis were all taken care of, I couldn't stop.

So, here I am wondering how the years have passed and trying to remember all the times I have tried to cut back or quit.  I have a sore in my mouth that I need to have looked at and am scared to death that I might have to pay the price for my stupidity.  I have dumped so many tins out the car window,  down the toilet, or out in the yard and tried to not get another one but always fail.  First few times I would go a few weeks, and then the stress would hit and I'd fall right back.  Now my quitting attempts hardly last 24 hours and the past year has been more like a depressing movie with an unbelievable twist of tragic deaths, house fire, and life changes.  I've had all the people that I looked up to growing up now turning to me and asking for my advice and my help.  When my mom died last year, I went from the baby of the family to the glue of the family and the shoulders that carry everything. 

I now work full time and do school full time and the stress of life is killing me.  I keep telling myself that when school is done (basically after this semester) I'll quit for real, but I'm not sure my body can take much more without serious repercussions. My wife thinks I quit and I can't talk to her about it because she freaks out about it even when I admit I had one pinch a while back.  I can't tell her I go through a tin or two every week... on a good week.  I've heard juice and nicotine gum help curb the craving but god knows they don't touch it.  When you are use to a pinch that fills the whole side of your mouth or sometimes a horseshoe, that little piece of gum, or heck 3 of them, don't do a thing.  I've tried different dip tobacco-free alternatives and sunflower seeds but nothing gets me the fix.  My resolve is strong but with my schedule, I am tired and stressed every moment of every day and I crack.  I write all this so that I can hear someone say that they were here.  So that real people can tell me what they did to quit.  I feel pathetic but I need the encouragement and I need the pointers.  I have a pack of Hooch (tobacco-free substitute) in the mail and when it gets here I am going to try and give this one last shot.    'bang head'
NOLAQ, et al:

Fuck this turd. He's a pussy in more way than one. Listen to how whiny this crybaby is..."I had mono", my vagina, err...my appendics hurt; caffine makes me jittery. Six, you cry in here, get your feeling hurt then piss off the very people trying to assist you. Shut the fuck up and get gone asshole.

6years claims to be on day 17. In July he said he caved or used gum or some shit, and we were all getting on him to man up and say hes back on day 1. Then that day he admitted it all saying "Oh boys I meant to say I'm on day 1, by saying I'm taking it ONE day at a time".

6years you are not on day 17, do not be proud of yourself. You are a piece of work, and we will be better off without you on this site, where only real badass quitters stay. There are plenty of people new to July who caved before that are taking crap from people. They man up and take the shit, and tell us all what happened. But you take the other route, by bitching out and posting on here how we are all fuckers, and you are just "getting back at us". Pussy bitch move man.

You should sprout some fucking nuts and try St. KTC's QUIT motherfucker..

Get lost clown...you're tripping over your shoes.

And for a guy who doesn't need this site, why do you keep coming back? Do you feel like a nutless wonder yet? You should.

Miles, that's why you seem familiar. The circus! Remember? I was the nutless wonder and your were the guy fucking all the ugly clowns. I see you still have that strange fetish. You even mentioned clowns in that personal message to me. I had hoped you had gotten over that by now. The nice thing is I take testosterone supplements (referencing the "nutless wonder" comment in full sarcastic mockery.) that helps me to be twice the man that others are. I'm still here because I don't back down... (maybe it's the supplements (oh the jokes))... You guys can go off on me and I'll come back to steal any sentiment that you can "strike a nerve" or scare me off. As long as you waste your time with comical, ludicrous, and childish banter... I'm on board to play that game. I'm quit my way and I would quietly leave because I know that you guys have a set way in which it "MUST" be done and any deviation or lack of dedication to promise every day to people you don't know means your not "dedicated" and any honesty is attacked with the guise of tough love (which often is simply not the case), I will be here and be just as loud as any of you and get a chuckle out of how riled up people get over it. I'm wasting your time... I've told you this and still you let me smile at your attempts to over "man" me. I am wasting your time... are you really going to try and create new names to call me and conjure more insults?
P.s. Please do not let me discourage you... I really do have fun reading you guys' comments.

First of all I don't believe you attended college.It is spelled Douchebag!! you douchebag! Also I am not sure who these Ad-ministers are you speak of? Perhaps they run the advertising department at the Church of Loot? I will look into it.

Enough " banter". You must be a helmet wearing window licker to think you have a better "mousetrap of quit" than is provided here. I applaud you on your roughly 3 weeks quit if that is true, but you are still so far down the hole you have to look up just to see the bottom. Your tough guy act has come and gone before and it ends up the same every time. It ends up with you stuffing a pinch of peach flavored cancer in your oversized and under-educated pie hole.

Your a fucking heroin addict who tells the rehab doc you can quit any time.

Your an alcoholic who doesn't believe in the twelve steps but keeps going to meetings to talk about doing it differently.

Your a nicotine junkie who makes excuses and feigns a vaginal injury to avoid facing the truth of your addiction. Your a fucking liar, to yourself mostly, and to those who love you. But you can't bullshit us...... we have been you.

Your a joke. At the first opportunity your going to cave. What will it be 6years? A death in the family, getting fired from your night job as a tranny fluffer, your wife leaves you? or will it be the old standard of too much stress? needed it to stay awake? the dog ate my favorite double ended dilly?

We quit this way because it works. There are thousands of us that have been successful, and one of you who hasn't. If you could do this on your own you would have. Drink the fucking Kool-Aid or Get the Fuck Out. Go die of cancer somewhere else, this site is for quitters.
