Truth,,, this is why i'm 'bang head' with you.

A few days before I found ktc I decided I was going to TRY to quit. My new plan was to cut back to only two dips a day. What an idiot I was.

For three days I tortured myself. I would allow myself one dip in the morning and the next half way through the day. It was torture. It was not working. I remember having tears in my eyes when I was finally allowing those pinches. I was HOPING for a miracle. Later I found there is no hope or try in quit. That was my problem. I had to remove hope. There is only QUIT!!!

Do you know as soon as you put nicotine in any form you immediately FILL THE VOID that you've left from using smaller amounts. It doesn't matter how much you cut back,,, as soon as you use,,, it fills the void. You have done absolutely NO good. In other words,, you start the cycle over again as start as you use. WAKE UP,, THINK ABOUT IT.

If you don't hear anything I've said,,, Which I doubt you have. I ask you to hear this.

The poison doesn't deserve your respect and admiration. That's what you are giving it. Right now you love the poison more than yourself, life and family. How about making a statement to the poison. Quit right effin now. How about slamming the door and adding bolt locks. If you do quit tomorrow,, I don't know if i'm going to even believe in your quit. You've said nothing to me that lets me know you reeeellllly want to quit. I don't think you have it in you to quit. Your still suckling with the poison right now, so that tells me all I need to know. MAKE THAT STATEMENT BROTHER!!!! Slam that door shut,, don't ease it shut,, SLAM IT!!!

I've given you to much of my time already. I don't know why!! Usually someone that is suckling with the poison does not get this much of my attention. Your getting attention from got2, me and others that you really don't deserve. Maybe it's because we see us in you. Maybe it's because we know you are using your brain to make decisions and we know your brain cannot be trusted. Maybe we are trying to get through to YOU!!!! The problem right now is YOUR not in charge,, the poison is. Reach deep my friend,, YOUR in there somewhere. Maybe Saturday the real YOU will suddenly emerge. Right now I think YOU might emerge, but YOU won't last. You've not proven anything to me and more importantly,,, YOURSELF!

Maybe, if your not listening, I haven't wasted my time and someone else right now sees this and wants to take there life back. Do it,, you won't be sorry. The poison wants to take everything from you,, it doesn't stop until your dead.
Shit dude if you cant do this you never will ever be able to you have 4 pages of bad asses reaching out to you sharing stories with you helping everyway they can and you still are stuck on this Saturday bullshit. How bout you sac up right now throw your can in the shitter do your school or whatever it is you do graduate from hurt vagina camp and get your quit started today....I mean like WTF already your thread is sucking up valuable quitter juice and you aren't even quit. At this point I will either see you on the other side or I wont.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Man, if I could just transfer everything I have learned in 993 days. 'bang head' Man o man. You need her, the nic bitch. Funny thing, is ya really don't. 1 problem + nic bitch = 2 problems.
Hey Trev. I hope for your sake you will be here tomorrow. Words really mean nothing though, let's see the actions.

Kind of like scowick suggests, I also wish I could quit for you. But only YOU can do the work. Everyday YOU make the decision. YOU can choose to cram your lip full of nasty carcinogens or YOU can choose to take your life back.

See you tomorrow.

Hey Trev10, quitting is hard man.  It is an addiction.  You have programmed your mind and body to think that you NEED nicotine.  YOU DONT.  And you will not die without it, you only feel like you will.  That hurts real real bad, but it only lasts a while.  It wont be any easier to quit Sat than it is right now. 

Dont fall for the trap man.  Pretty soon you'll be telling yourself that you'll quit on NY day, or maybe when you start college, or maybe when you finish college.  Shit before you know 10 years and 1000s of dollars have gone by.  Be smarter than that. 

Seize the moment Trev.  The desire to quit can be fleeting, grasp it while you can and hold on tight.  I will quit with you.  Do it NOW, there is no tomorrow, only today.

Ryan
Started college a while ago. I made it a week without a dip and it didn't bother me too much before I started school this summer. Then class started to stress me out and I began having problems with my family and girlfriend of two years all at the same time. I was stupid and jumped right back into it to ease the stress. I cut back quite a bit before I went that week. That's why I was easily able to make it. Now I was back up to a can or better a day, trying to cut back a little bit before I do officially quit will help me. I know all the guys on here are telling me I am wrong, but from last time I tried quitting, this is what helped me. Just like it helped to not be surrounded by other dippers all the time, which is my reason for waiting for this three-day weekend coming up to get over the worst hump.

Read the above link! ( you will have to copy it into a URL ) It explains why you are the way you are and why just one more never works. Also explains why tapering down is worthless! You are at the right place! Ever stop to think that maybe all the guys here say the same thing because it is right? You can do this. It is as simple as throwing out the chew!
OK then, I will see you on this magical saturday, when the stars are perfectly aligned, then angels are singing and fairy dust is in the air. Yes it is sure to be the greatest day to quit that there ever was. Funny how "tomorrow" seems to work that way.

If you want to quit, you will. There is no TRY, only do. You have all the support in the world if you are really gonna do this. I suggest that you learn all you can about what it means to have an addiction. There is only one way out, no nicotine today, one day at a time.

See you Saturday. Unless of course your addict mind rationalizes that some other magical date in the future might be even better than saturday.

1 problem + nicotine = 2 problems
Damn, I had high expectations for this I one! I guess we are on the tomorrow train in here?

Listen to these fine quitters, they will save your life if you just let them!

Yes Srans is harder to please than I am, he makes sure to be hard on my thread too  we need that. Somebody with that strength of character is winning moreso when he helps to share it.

So lets see you back in here Saturday, after winding down your dose a bit,  picking a quiet weekend as a good place to start. Nothing wrong with planning it out to make the transition. But don't let it be an excuse to let t slide as I've said already  others have already. If you're truly ready now you've got huge piles of support on these boards from the ballsiest guys I've ever met. Don't lose the moment  a decade will be gone before you know it.

ERDVM's story is too true. Funny, sad, but true all at the same time. Alternating Cope vs. Skoal, dipping uppers, moving your placement around, taking a break by smoking, there's no end to the justification. KC said it somewhere that if quitting were easy everybody would do it. It's not.
