quit day 12

[Wt57]

I looked at this site when I quit the last time, and the time before that, and the time before that. I have the unique perspective of someone who dipped from age 15-25, then quit for 10 years...then decided I could handle a dip...big mistake. 7 years later dipping a tin a day. Copenhagen ruled my life. My three boys have been begging me to stop, its fucking embarrasing to have to admit that a substance has you so completely. I quit the day after my 42nd birthday and its been brutal. I think more brutal than before because i've told myself no lapses, i can never go back to chewing. For the first time in my life I'm truly depressed, like a little bitch. I hope i can be addicted to the quit...

Man I hope you read this. No one here is any different than anybody else. Your lapse in your addiction and then relapse into dipping is a common tale and one we all have experienced here. There is no difference between quitting for 1,2,5,7,10,100,200,400 days or for _____ years. I am sure it is very hard for you to quit, but it also was for anyone stopping the shit. It sucks and there is a reason you have a hard time with it. It is a miracle drug for the fuckers who process and sell it to the public. It is a serious drug even though it is available at every street corner. Stop giving yourself a hard time and stop hoping and start living again because you know that is what you were doing when you quit for 7 years. You can do it again, and I will tell you it won't be easy since you stopped for 7 years, but if you finally realize you don't need it and really want to quit this time you shouldn't have a problem after a certain amount of time goes by. One thing though. Caving isn't an option here so don't even think about planning a cave! It won't be pretty!!!!!

Tyr these good gentleman quitters have given you some great advice. I suggest you heed it.
The first thing you have to do is lose the defeatest attitude. You can and will do this if you really want it for you. Get mad at nicotine. The nic bitch is stealing your money, trying to kill you and deprive your children of their father! Rage against the bitch and use that to power you quit.
Breath deep when it gets tough. Focus on just getting through the moment and remember that the crave will pass with or without nicotine. If you use nic though, they will never get better.
PM me if you need anything. Post roll every day and keep your word.
Quit with you.

Ty you've already been given very sound advise. I see you still haven't posted roll, that's your first step. As far as being depressed; I used to combat depression (or so I thought). Many addicts started to avoid facing life's challenges and then when they quit they found those or other challenges are still there. It's good you have family that will support your quit but like you've already been told, quitting only happens when you are so totally sick of dipping that the pain of quitting is less than the pain of daily defeat. I had two pauses of 3 years each and know what you say about thinking you can have one. NAFAR never again for any reason. I'm still here posting after 767 days because failure isn't an option, period!

I'm 43 m'man. Chewed for 25 years. 2 cans a day for a good chunk of that time. I'm riding 387 days quit today. If I can do this... you can do this.

Le'me tell ya something... you're bigger, better, and badder than the substance you're addicted to. If you own this - really own this... you're life is about to change. Do away with fear bro. Start training your mind away from your romantic version of life as a chewer. It made nothing better. NOTHING. The addict part of you will tell you that HARD for a while. Don't listen. Your addiction took your money... took time from your family... messed with your head... screwed up your health. Yeah... no reason to be depressed over the slow death you were bellying up to each day. It will not be easy but I think you know that pretty well. This SUCK is the price of freedom and it is very worth it. You need someone in your corner... shoot me a pm.

Know this... you are not unique. We were all in your shoes.

You need to do more than hope... you need to post roll and make a promise for today. Once you do... then do whatever it takes to not dip today.

This will not be ez but that is why we lean on each other daily. When you are down... we are here to help.

You are going to have to fight for your freedom today. I will join you in the battle.

TyrFry, I first thing you need to know is how the site works. Read the Welcome Center posts, and then how to post roll. You have to quit for yourself, quitting for your kids will only lead to regret and failure. I am a father of 2 boys who would yell at me (and throw away cans), but I couldn't be quit until I had enough of the slavery. Read up, post roll, and I will quit with you today.
