Hello- Today is the day I kick the can to the curb. I am 32 yrs old and have been dipping snuff for about 18 years. I started with Cope back in 8th grade. Sometime around a year or two ago I realized that I needed to quit. So what did I do? I switched to Mint, Wintergreen or something that tasted like candy hoping it wasn't as strong as the Cope - It's all the same. I went through Hypnosis 3 times. Last time was Monday - I am committed to quit - I am very happy that I found this site for stories as well as support. All the cans are gone - I won't even go into a gas station - I just pay at the pump. I don't want to see it, smell it or put that crap in my mouth ever again. I even scheduled a dental appointment next week to make sure everything is A OK- I feel that by setting that appointment a week from now - I will hold myself accountable-get through the rough days and not put that crap back in my mouth. Wish me well on my journey through hell. I can't wait to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

PS - can anyone tell me if the HOOCH is a good and tasteful alt. How does it taste, feel etc. I think it may be a good option for me for a bit.
First of all, hypnosis?! Really...
Cold turkey quit is the only way to quit, all other forms of quit is bullshit.
Why? Quittin cold turkey make your balls grow bigger. (it's just science)
Listen to what wedgie says and get to the welcome then to August and post roll everyday. Posting roll is tellin your family, your quit brothers and most importantly yourself that you will remain quit everyday! In other words, if your word is shit, move along, you don't belong here. One day at a time, that's how we quit.
Get involved, drink the koolaid and reach out to your quit brothers and exchange numbers, it strengthens your accountability to your quit.
And lastly, and really, most importantly...the first few days WILL SUCK, embrace it. Don't be a little bitch about it, put some fucking hair on your balls and quit. Quittin is a decision you make everyday. There is only 2 options A- Quit B- Be a pussy and dip. Do or do not, there is no try
*Note- I usually don't speak to new quitters like this, but seeing how youre from Texas, I assume you can take it. If you're a carpetbagger I appoligize for hurting your vagina.
