Hi my name is Tim I am 27 yrs old and have been using dip for several years. I have dip in my mouth from the time that i wake up till i go to sleep. I have tried quitting but I can't function without it. It really sucks and I want to stop but can't...I am hoping for some advice from somebody that has had similar experience and has quit since. Thanks,
Tim
Hey man. I guess my advice would be to quit right now. This very moment. Then flush every can you have. Heres how I look at it. You obviously are interested in quitting or you wouldnt be here. Do not prolong it with stupid excuses like I did. I'll quit Monday. I'll quit after this can. I'll quit after these 5 cans. I'll quit Jan 1st. Yada yada yada...All of those are just BS life stealing lies.
When I stumbled upon KTC, I was like you. I wanted to quit but I really didnt know how. I had "stopped" several times before but always came back to the can. After browsing around the site here and posting, it became very apparent to me that these guys mean business and are here to help me. I began to understand that this has to be about me. Not my wife. Not my kids. Not my friends. But me. At that moment, I was quit. Not when I dumped the 15+ cans of Copenhagen. But the moment I realized that this shit is no good and I have to do this for me. Thats the moment I was quit. Dumping the cans was just the obvious thing to do since I was quit.
I guess what I'm saying is. Deciding in your heart and mind at this moment that you need to quit for you, is how you Kill The Can. Simply dumping the can in hopes of never dipping again, is how you stop for a period of time. What'll be for you? Kill The Can or dump the can?
I'm not the best at explaining myself, but I hope you get the gist of what I'm saying. And we are all here to help each other. Holler if ya need me....
