Hey everybody, I am quitting Copenhagen Snuff tomorrow and any support y'all wanna throw me would be more than appreciated. I am a native Texan living in Fort Worth, I turned 31 this year, and I have been dipping since I was 16. I have quit a few times in the past but never made it more than 60 days. It's always the damn drinking that drags me back down. I'm not a drunk or anything but I do like my cold Shiner Bock paired w/ shots of whiskey or tequila. Seems like after 4-6 weeks I'd be able to drink but historically that has proven to be my downfall. Amazing how insidious a nicotine addiction is; get through the mental part of withdrawals, get through the physical part of withdrawals, feeling good thinking you've got this damn habit beat and then one too many beers and the next thing you know you're back to a can a day. Hell I remember putting that first dip back in after months and not even liking it. It wasn't like I thought it was gonna be, some guilty pleasure I'd been denying myself for months and the answer to all my prayers, it was gross feeling that stuff back in my lip. However, like an idiot, bout a week later I'm back up to a can a day wondering how the hell I got there. Anyways, I'm tired of wasting my money on a product that is out to kill me, I'm tired of heartburn, tired of bottles full of disgusting dip spit in my truck, tired of nicotine stains on my clothes and snuff crumbs all over my sinks. Time to bite the bullet and kick this bad habit once and for all! Wish me luck fellas, 'preciate y'all, -Mike

Dude... tomorrow ALWAYS breeds another tomorrow.
Between now and then, how do you know that the next lump of tobacco you put in your mouth isn't the one that changes everything? Healthy to cancerous in one irrevocable twist.
Now.
Do it now.
That, m'man, is truly badass.

Pour the cancer out and shelve the beers for a few months. Alcohol can be Niccy's best friend if you let her. You know what you need to do, now get er done!

What Dano and AJ just said. THINK about it. Stay the F away from beer if you know that's a trigger (#1), and flush it, NOW (#2).

Hope you post your Day 1 on Roll today, bro! That would be super badass. I won't hold my breath, however. There's always tomorrow.
