There is no such thing as "one dip"! I tried about 4 times in the past to quit and every time I went fishing or riding with buddies I packed a lip and ended up buying a can on the way home!

I have had 2 friends quit in the past year.......If I pulled out the can in front of them they would even say.....been a year but man.....I sure would like a lip of that! I would not even give it too them! Told them every time......no.....even if you ask nicely I won't hand you my can!

Well it is my turn now! on day 9 and definately understanding it is an addiction not a bad habbit! NO SUCH THING AS ONE DIP!!!!!

Stay Strong!

Welcome TX!

Read everything on this site and get with the program----IT works. This will be your last quit. Great job on 5 days.

The reason you fell back into dipping is because you forgot (or did not know) the LAW OF ADDICTION, whic is------YOU CANNOT USE ONE TIME.

The program:

#1 post roll every morning--make your promise not to use

#2 repeat #1 everyday and be a man of honor

#3 Educate yourself and read everything on this site--words of wisdom, old intros etc. An edcuated quitter is a sucessful quitter

#4 Know that you are an addict--this is not a bad habit---you are addicted to the most addicting drug on the planet.

#5 Throw the concept of forever out the window---you can only live one day at a time and you can only quit one day ata a time. Forever does not exist!

#6 Have a ANTI-CAVE Plan--In other words, what are you going to do to stop yourself from caving when a crave gets bad? Figure that out---we do not accept caving--period! We quit!

#7 Use the support on this site from your quit brothers (exchange numbers, get on chat). Have off site support too. If you were a ninja dipper, don't continue the lie. You need the support of your spouse, friends, family and doctors.

You can do this!!!!

Pm me if you need anything

I was hooked back on it with my first dip in 2 years.

Thanks Tx. If any person here ever wants to question why they still hang abound here...there it is...plain and simple.

We are addicts. I'm never going to let myself forget that fact.

TX...you and I will quit together for today and today only. We will worry about the ones to follow as they come.

txwhopper,

From a fellow Texan, congrats on the quit. Stay quit. Be quit.

I trust your username came from a fish that you hooked and not from a daydream about a certain part of your anatomy!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I am glad to quit with you today.

Day 7

Remember, using tobacco is a decision. If you make the decision to quit and you are serious about it, there is nothing that can get the shit back in your lip. So get serious and get quit.

You got this, man. Post roll and just quit today and only today. You are stronger than a can, believe me the benefits far outweigh the means. You went back to the can previously because you had no support. This time will be different and we got your back.

you do not have 1000's more to go...only 1 day more to go and that's today.

Weekends are a huge quit killer. Post roll early and take dip off the table immediately.

Do not drink and stay the hell away from old dip buddies.

Hey all, 5 days in, a lot harder than I thought. For about 20 years, dipped a can a day, weekday / weekend, didn't matter, always had a dip. Got a cancer scare a few years back, 'quit' cold turkey. Surgery, no cancer, dodged a bullet.

A little over a year ago, 2 years of no copencrap, I am heading on a trip without the family for a few days...what the heck, buy a can for old times. Yes, total dumbass move. It won't hurt anything. Over a year later, 1 can a day with no end in sight. I am so damn addicted, I was hooked back on it with my first dip in 2 years.

I walk into any convenience store in a 5 mile radius, they know me, "two cans of copenhagen right?" NO, no more. I quit.

So again, here I am, 5 days in, 1000's more to go, one day at a time. The cravings are intense, but no more nic in the blood and no reason to roll the dice again.

Everybody stay strong / stay quit.
