Just another attempt? _

It would appear that Delilah has sold out samson once again and the Philistines have won.
I've always wanted to save a life, so I started with mine.

Quit Date: 4/22/2007~HOF: 7/30/2007~2nd Floor: 11/7/07~3rd Floor: 2/15/08~1 YEAR!: 4/22/2008~4th Floor: 5/25/2008~5th Floor: 9/2/2008~6th Floor: 12/11/2008~7th Floor: 3/21/2009~2 Years: 4/22/2009~ 8th Floor: 6/29/2009 ~ 9th Floor: 10/7/2009 ~ My Comma: 1/15/2010!

Ok, so everyone who reads this knows why I am here so there is no need to explain. I am a 21 year old college student who has been living in the can since I was 16. I have been going through a can of Copenhagen a day for almost 3 years now and I am finally at the point where I really want to give it up. I have made numerous half-hearted attampts with minimal success, but I feel as though this time is different. I am not doing this for anyone but myself, as someone said on here already, I am being selfish. To be honest, I could careless how many people I alienate in this attempt, because if they can't deal with a life-changing decision that will only help me, then do I really need them? I really hope that I can turn to you guys to blow off some steam and you will forgive me (who knows). I appreciate the time you guys have put into this site and look forward to getting to know everyone in my group, and some others.
Hey man, I too am a 21 year old college student. I'm only on day 15 but i already feel great. Your going to go through some tough nights in the near future, but you came to the right place. If you need anything at all shoot me a PM, I think I can speak for everyone here at this site when we say, We are all here for you.

Some advice or things that worked for me:
- Get some Smokey Mountain Herbal Snuff or sunflower seeds for the oral sensation.
- Read on this site a lot, post as much as you can. Post roll everyday you can.
- if you have an urge, read the Tom Kern story on the opening page on this website.
- Go on live chat a lot, get to know the people here and form some friendships...
- Finally, realize that we are going to hold you accountable if you cave. I caved before and i felt guilty as shit because i let the people on this site down. The more friendships you make, the more reasons you will have not to cave.


If you need anything at all, pm me.

Good luck and stay strong,
b0yer
He said oral sensation, hu hu, hu hu.


Great decision Samson! Now hold on tight and fight your way through it!!
IT GETS EASIER!!

Welcome to the site. This is the place to quit.

Look up the word "attempt" in the MSN dictionary. Oh hell, here's what you'll find:

at·tempt [ ə témpt ]


transitive and intransitive verb (past and past participle at·tempt·ed, present participle at·tempt·ing, 3rd person present singular at·tempts)

Definition:

try to do something: to try to do something, especially without much expectation of success
(Source: http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/attempt.html )

Is that really the word you want to assign to this quit? Are you going to "attempt" to quit (especially without much expectation of success)? I hope not.

So if you are ready to do this, post roll call everyday. That is your word that you will not use tobacco in any form for that day. Then keep your word, whatever it takes.

As far as alienating people goes, this is the place to do it. Don't lash out at family members. They didn't put that shit in your mouth. If you're looking rage, rage here, if you need to call someone a name, call 40 a fag, if you want to be distracted from your fight against this addiction, check out the wildcard section.

The bottom line is that if you are looking to do this, not attempt it, this site will work. Drink the Kool-Aid. Post roll, be active, and you will be quit.
Welcome. Some crazy cracka' once told me, "Do or do not. There is no try." Crazy ass cracka'.

Samson, welcome to The Quit! I'm 4 days in and not looking back. PM me with your digits and I'll reply with mine. We need to stay together. Post Roll every morning. If you can't figure it out ask. Glad you are here!
