Hey ya'll, My name is Zack and I am currently 18years and 4months old and I have been chewing since I was approximately 13. My problem is that once I have the money, I end up buying a couple cans at a time, not just one, but more than one. I've tried the whole "limit yourself routine" and the "work to keep your mind off it" but them don't work for me. I need social help, I have kept this from my girlfriend and we've been together since november 6th of 2010, and I've been dipping all along. I've tried to quit several times but I just end up caving in and buying more and finishing it within a half a day. Problem is, I can't find any alternatives to buy in stores since I don't and never will use credit cards for online purchases. As I write this, I shamefully hang my head as I have a big ol pinch in. I just went and bought a new can about 30 min ago. I need help and killthecan.org is the place for me to get this help. I'll need all the support I can get, I want to be able to say that i've conquered an addiction and stompped it out of my life. So please help! Thank ya'll for listenin'

Zack, welcome. Read through these and then go to August 2011 to post roll vowing your quit for the day. PM someone online as you need.

On my second day, cold turkey. Been pretty rough but I am not giving in like a vagina to a fuckin can of shit that has literaly ruined my fuckin life the last 17 years.
I was about 14 when I started and just now realised, like you will too, that the easy quit is a bunch of bull shit fairy tales. You keep waitin for it to magically appear and your gonna be dead dude. it aint cool and it dont make you look tough that too is a fairy tale if it wasnt why do you hide it?
I am here signin my ass on the dotted line and livin up to my word with no crutch to help me. Join me, let your sack drop, post roll and pm me if ya need help.
CANT NEVER DID SHIT

Hi zach,
Did you try to call the makers of the fake chew? Maybe they have an option to do it mail order.
(Hooch and Smokey Mountain seem to be the most popular as far as I know.)
You can do this. One day at a time.
Glad to be quit with you,
30

Zack...I just send you 4 PM's (upper right corner of the page "Inbox"). They are all things that helped me get started, and finally kick this to the curb. IF you read them...IF you take them to heart...IF you do what they say...you WILL be successful. My name is Brian, I have been quit 824 days today (not that I'm counting or anything) and I am proud of every one of those days. Some have been easy, some have been tough, some I would compare to any description of Hell that I have heard any fire and brimstone preacher give....and I would take hell everytime!!!! But, they were all worth it. The question is do you have the courage, and the desire to take the time to do some reading...get to know some guys...give YOUR word, and have enough pride in your word to make this work?
If you do we are here for you brother. PM or text me if you need anything. Oh, by the way, take some time to read some Hall of Fame speeches and see what other guys have gone through. One more thing...there is not ONE vet...NOT ONE that won't do anything and everything to help you throught this. But you have to make the decision. Embrace the suck and lets do this thing

Zack you need to quit now. It doesn't get any easier by waiting, and you certainly won't enjoy life more by taking a few more years for yourself to dip. Your life will get worse just due to living the lie. Shoot, one day you'll wake up in your 30s wondering why you sneak dips and avoid hanging out and having fun with others so you can dip by yourself. And all that functions on the you having health to be around 15 years from now, who knows, any of us could get cancer tomorrow.
Just dump the dip and post roll that you won't be using today. We ain't. We're addicts too. It was tough but managable and moreso when you realize we're all quitting together. Very hard in the beginning but you got it in you if you want it.
-
Solution: Quit now! Go post roll! Take the suck one day at a time!!! It get s easier as time progresses!!! All of us together can kick the NIC BITCHES ASS!!!!! NIco 'Remshot' '

Zackina - this community can give you all the help in the world, but it won't mean shit if you're not 100% committed to improving your life right now. I commend you at 18 for realizing that nicotine is keeping you from your best. So, why the fuck do you come here and ask for help with a chew in? You need to make this happen. This quit will be 100% your responsibility. Your accomplishment and freedom. It will be extremely hard. It will take a commitment you've likely never experienced.
Don't post here again with a chew in. It's an insult to this entire community.

I second this motion.
Zach, the cards are stacked against all of us and it seems to be even worse for the young guns, which I consider myself at 24.
You CAN Do this but you gotta buy in 100%. The reality of the situation is that you'll likely never revisit this page, but in the off chance that you do...WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!

OK, Let me see if I can help explain this place to you.
Your #1 job: Promise us not to dip by posting roll.
Your #2 job: Keep your promise.
Your optional, but highly recommended job#3: Get active in this forum (and I mean become a post whore like no other) and makes friends and enemies in this community. The more friends you have the more and better support. Even enemies help you quit here, 'cause they still want you to quit, but also because who the hell wants to fail in the face of an enemy.
Our job: Provide you all the help, emotional support, guidance, accountability, friendship, and tough love that you will need once the nic is out of your life. (Note: our job is NOT to make the quit easy nor to quit for you. We have no magic tricks, quitting is not pleasant.) We will also remind you that we are living proof that despite its difficulties, quit IS possible, and IS DEFINITELY worth it.

Once YOU DECIDE to quit, let us know. We'll help pick up the other pieces that go along with it.

Use sunflower seeds, licorice, beef jerky - whatever it takes.
PM me your address and I will get you a couple of cans of Smokey Mountain ( I just got a log in the mail). No cost to you - just get your head on straight and do not miss this opportunity.
We all were 18 once and most of us were well into chewing/dipping at that point. Do this now and save yourself years of oain and suffereing.

I couldnt agree more.
I took my lip out when I first found the sight because it felt wrong to have one in when the folks here were fighting so hard.
I can't tell how serious you are about quitting. If you ARE serious, throw all of your dip away. Even if it's 3 cans, that's only $15-$20 max. Chump change compared to not quitting. I would buy 4 cans at a pop, and would think "I'll quit after number 4." I never did... There was always something that would weaken the resolve I felt during can 2. I ended up throwing 1 1/2 cans down the toilet when I decided to quit. That was the hardest part for me so far in my quit.
You've gotta either stop being a pussy and quit, or continue being a puss that hides something "too important to give up" from your loved ones. If you're hiding, you're ashamed. If you're ashamed, you know what you're doing is wrong and/or stupid. I know... I was a closet dipper for 14 years.
I'm here to help you, but only if you REALLY want this quit. People who do this half-assed don't last long. If you're ready to face the suck with me, post roll, keep your word, and be quit. It's simple, but not easy.

Zack,
Quit now. I'm on day 2 and I"m working this out 1 day at a time just like you. I"m 42 with 3 kids I've spent the last 20+ years sneaking around, wasting time, losing time with loved ones, all so I could "sneak in a dip". It's no way to live. I've never told anyone this but I snuck out on my wife on the night we got married to dip. Sad. You don't want to live this way trust me. I've sacrificed so much and for what becasue I'm an addict. You're really young quit now.

Thank you to all that posted the kind words of advice and telling me you'll be there for me. I'm here for you too. I'll be quit for 23.5 hours as of now and I owe it to you guys. I've decided to join the fight against nic and shove my foot up its ass. To all that posted the tough love comments: thank you, I needed those words to tell me that I was being stupid, I'm sorry for having a dip in while posting that post and even saying that I did, I just wanted to be truthful to my fellow quit brethren and I will stay truthful to all of you. I've thankfully found where I can buy some smokey mountain. Any suggestions as to which flavor and brand to buy would be nice. I'm planning to use the alternatives for the first day or two just to get those days over and then I'm moving on to regular gum (not nic gum). I've read all of your posts, taken them to heart, and DECIDED to apply your knowlege and concern to my own life. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
Happily quit for almost a day and counting (for the rest of my life)

Nice job bro. Ask us for anything you need. Please do not think of quitting for the rest of your life. That is too far away. All we ask is that you quit for today. Anyone can quit for just 1 day. I have done it 509 times now.

Zac, I have put you on my radar in the August quit. Look forward to seeing it there everyday. Quit is the rule. Cuz we don't want to drool.

While cleaning my room and my jeep out, I found 26 cans..... All of which I used for target practice. Supporting Winchester and disposing of the UST products. Feels good to get back at those who took 5+ years of my life. 'Remshot' UST/ nic

Hell yes it does! haha. Seeing the oblitterated remains of those cans reminded me of what it was doing to my mouth for so long. Thank you all who helped support me on my way to quitting. Never thought that quitting would feel so good.

If you get the urge to buy a can whenever you get some money, You can send it to me, and I will cut off a piece of lip flesh. maybe remove a lymphnode, or some teeth, for you.... Deal?
I only wish I was smart enough to quit at your age! Instead I was a slave for 28 years. Spent countless dollars on death and junk at the convenice stores.
Don't take this lightly, taking a dip is like a bullet in a gun, you just may be the can next time. Happy shootng!
Was this too dark? Sorry my mind ran off on a tangent. great decision! you show me that 18 year old invinciblity attiude and be the best quitter you can be!

Same here...I intentionally poisoned myself for 20 years before I decided coffin-shopping wasn't for me.
