i have sat here for 20 minutes trying to figure out what i can say, and well i finally decided the truth always wins. I am the weakest person you ever meet, i loathe and love dipping at the same time. Ive been doing it for so long that its hard for me to imagine not dipping. I have tried and usually give up when it gets to tuff. Somehow in my mind i think that one day i will just easily put it down, and never touch it again. I keep thinking oh that day will come when i have just had enough, but it never has, and it never will. LIke it said in the intro death will come first. I know now that i am addicted to it, because i hate doing it, i hate that my mind craves something and wont leave me alone till it gets it. I am an addict of nicotine. I really dont want to be anymore. I am 33 and have been dipping for 7 years, and smoked for umteen years before that. I tried that old classic bait and switch, and ended up getting addicted to snuff cause i did not have to take breaks at work to do it, and i no longer smelled like cigarettes, in the long run i wish i had never started this stuff. Oh why oh why did i not listen to my dad when i was 16 when he told me i would regret started nicotine in any form. I know now that i cant do it alone, i am not strong enough. Nicotine has that hold on me, i need this group more then it needs me i am sure of it. IM not gonna lie, im not ready for whats ahead, and i fear it, i dread it, but i know that i have to do it. I would welcome any ones support or advice along the way.

Hey bud!
Just like you, I am new to living life again without the use of snuff. I have tried twice now to quit, however I believe that with enough support and willpower you can push through it.
What failed me was lack of support from friends and family. I could only get so far on my own. But don't take that as a sign of weakness; it takes strength to reach out and talk with people, and we're glad that you did!
In fact, I joined this site just two days ago, and my quit day was the 7th. I know it's tough, and I've been there before. Yes, it's gunna feel like pure hell at first, but just remember, like all feelings, it will pass. It's not something you will feel for the rest of your life; and it starts getting much better after a week to 10 days. 14 days is an average for most major hot flashes, sweating, and crave episodes (note, you probably will still feel craves after this period. For them to stop completely depends on the person. I am just saying after this the worst part is over).
Just take it one day at a time; don't see it as you can never do it again. Just one day. Then when that day comes, just one day. Small steps. Don't give in, and KNOW it will pass! You have the strength, I just know it. In fact, I'm going to keep you in mind, because I believe we can both pull through this together man :). People like you, and others give me strength to want to quit.
Feel free to reach out to any of us, contact us, bitch or complain, talk about your experience, ANYTHING. We're a support network here, and we all together in this.

You've been addicted for a long time but I started before you were ever born. I'm old enough to be your dad and I'll give you some advise, quit now and stay quit. I'm not gonna sugar coat it, quitting sucks but it is possible. Quitting is in your hands every minute of every day and you must take control and fight the urge daily.

i guess all the whining and bitching you guys can handle. Im a man through and through a big knarly rough fucker from the country, but when it comes to copenhagen im like a giggly little girl. Its so hard not to want the stuff. I fix cell phone for a living, and believe it or not that and fast food is my only trigger, mot of the time i dont even dip at home or when i am elsewhere. I guess another trigger is when i know i am in for a long pone conversation. BUt dweirick told me something in chat i never thought about and it was broguht up again in JJH post all i have to do is is quit today, fuck tomorrow we will cross tht bridge when we get their. All these years i ahve focussed on a month from now, 3 months from now a year from now thing about the long hard road ahead of me there. BUt i never gave one single thought to all i have to do is "quit for today". That is honestly the best advice in my whole life i have ever received. Knowing this i think i can go on with my quit successfully.

Fuck Copenhagen and any other tobacco product.. You aren't weak... You were living the lie that big tobacco promised... We all did! Forget about that and start living .... You will learn this but the only thing the shit is good for is hooking your ass to it! It is a perfect money making machine for the assholes who sell it... That is all it is good for.. Learn to hate that! It will save your life!

Welcome aboard Scott. Now get on over to your quit group and find out what it means to post roll. It will save your life. You can do this. We have your back.
-
I am a glutton who is addicted to food, booze and nicotine. I am still a nicotine addict (and always will be) , but by using the plan set up here I no longer use nicotine. It is difficult, but if my fat ass can do it, so can yours.
-
Welcome aboard Scott. It's going to suck until it doesn't. Read everything you can and stay involved with your group. Get some digits, it might save your quit. We quit ODAAT, and post roll EDD first thing in the morning.
I was a slave for over 30 years and now I'm day 70. Yes, I thought just like you there's know way in hell I can function without the nic bitch. Well 70 days later, with the help of the bad ass quitters it can be done. I'm living proof and so is everyone else here.
1. Quit one day at a time.
2. Post Roll every damn day.
Pretty Simple

We are all addicts just like you! Be the big badass gnarly man you are, grab your sac, man up and get this shit done! I don't give a damn how big you are if you don't want this and learn to hate this shit you will fail! This shits hard but not impossible. It takes a daily commitment and it will let you see just how strong, mentally you are. Get over to November post roll now,let's get this shit started ! I quit with you today!

Listen to Norm. This shit is not easy, but it is simple. Quit today. Post your promise today. KEEP YOUR DAMN PROMISE. Better than dying with a feeding tube in your throat and morphine on max as you catch your last breath.
Quitting is hard, but dying is a motherfucker. I'd rather be a quitter than a die-er. You with me?
You wanna kick in the balls? Here it is: topic/11274217/1/#new (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/11274217/1/#new)
Tom's daughter fell apart as he died, asking her dad to continue on for one more minute. He couldn't because cancer had ravaged his entire body. Can you before it's too late?

I did not cave and it was hard but worth it thanks you guys
-
How bad do you want it? We can't quit for you but we sure in the fuck can help you. Post roll, just for today and promise me that you will not use. I was a slave for 30 years and the biggest pussy when it came to quitting but I did it. You have two choices, keep using and die or quit and live. Now pick one.
-
Scott there will be many more days of craves. Be the man grab your sac and say ,I can and will defeat you nic bitch! When you post roll early that keeps you accountable to your word. So in order to honor your word which I hope means alot to you, then you want dip. You did the right thing and asked for help. Get you some numbers in case someone don't see it on here in time. I quit with you today my friend!
-
Turn all these symptoms into pure hatred, hate the fact this shit is making you feel this way, hate the fact nicotine is making your body go through what it is, hate the fact the makers of this substance have been proven to add additional addictive properties to their product to make you more addicted. Hate everything there is to hate about nicotine, your brain is hardwired on this crap because it thinks it needs it, the reality is, 3 days is all you need to get through the actual physical stage. I will be looking for your post each and every day. PM me if you need anything.

I am the weakest person you ever meet.
You started out week and have hit the weight room for 8 days now. Just think how strong you will be in 100 days. Everyone starts out week. Being week is never an excuse for not hitting the weights. Stay quit one day at a time, the same way you get stronger at anything. One day at a time, and never give up.

This is a great intro. You have put into words how everyone feels at the beginning.
Man you lost every single day for a lot of years. Today will be 9 straight in the win column. That feels pretty good, right? Keep doing what you are doing!
