Hello, I'm kind of a new dipper, just starting to about 4 years ago and I am a "pouch" user to boot, so It's not a serious addiction, but I am surely addicted going through about a Tin per week on average. I have been smoking cigarattes in addition for about 7 years, but never have been a pack a dayer. I smoke them alot while drinking and have an avg of like one a day otherwise.
I can quit cigarettes easy during the week, but have a lot of trouble quitting them while drinking and with dip I don't ever dip when I drink, but dip when I'm sitting around playing video games or watching tV/surfing the web. I know my problem may not be severe compared to some of you, but I still feel I'm addicted and would appreciate any pointers.
Alright first off, did you actually read what you wrote? "It's not a serious addiction" and you only use a "pouch". Plain and simple it IS a serious addiction no matter how frequent or infrequent you use the stuff, or what kind of tobacco you use, cigarettes, dip, pouches, etc. This site is for people who quit and not for those who are TRYING to quit. You will hear this over and over. If you are 110% committed to never using tobacco ever again then we can help. If not I suggest you leave now before the shit hits the fan. We may come across as assholes but sometimes thats what it takes. You should be recieving some info from a veteran who will get you on the right path to victory.
Hi, I'm kind of an new asshole, only been one for about 40 years. Here's the fucking deal pal:
You are an addict. Like it or not, no 2 ways about it. It is your addict mind that is telling you this BS you speak.
Pouch, fine cut, long cut, what-the-fuck-ever kind, it's nicotine and tobacco and it causes cancer.
Cigarette usage too, huh, and you're not as bad as others here. Well, good for you, want that on your tombstone as well?
"Hi, I'm fuckstick and I'm dead but I'm not as dead as the guy in the tomb beside me so I don't need those flowers on my grave"
You first need to come to grips with the fact that you are no different than any other addict and that your mind will justify, quantify, and compare just for the sake of addiction. You are minimizing your addiction to the leading killing agent on the market, how fucking stupid is that?
Re-read your introduction from the mindset of someone who makes the daily choice to say no and tell us all how stupid you sound.
If you want to quit, we'll be here to help. If you're not as bad as the rest of us, go away and come back when you've managed to grow a pair.
