Really? Big bad football coach can't man up? Maybe your team should tell you to take your two a days and shove m up your ass - until they get ready to do something. What's scarier is the fucked up role model you are for those kids.
What's the difference between a liberal and a puppy??? The puppy stops whining and shitting on everything when he grows up.

Serious? When you're serious? Dave...you know how many dips it takes to get cancer? How many it takes to start the chain reaction that's puts you down the path to having your face removed?

If you don't think what you are doing is serious, then you are being a fool. Do you want freedom? You didn't come here for the scenery you came here for the help. God dammit. Fight. It can start today. Fight. Make a fucking step towards freedom. Towards no longer consciously stuffing poison in your mouth. You are worth more. Yes. Believe that. Tell yourself that. You are worth more. Now take back your life and spit that shit out of your mouth and start walking the path with the rest of us addicts. Yeah. We're all addicts. You are not special. I know you can do this. That is a truth. I know because I was just like you 607 days ago. Then I switched my panties for boxer shorts and grabbed the nic bitch by the throat and started shaping myself into the man I am today. One step at a time. One day at a time. If there is quit in your at all, there is quit in you now. Not a month from now. Not a week. Not an hour. NOW. This moment. If you can do it at all, you can do it now.

Okay Dave. About 12 hours have passed, a whole bunch of support has been offered and I don't see post in November 12. I've been hanging around this place for a little bit. And I happen to know the very secret to getting this done. My secret voodoo magic will show you light: its the power inside you. Its that voice that says you're strong enough. Its the voice that says you can accomplish anything. Its the guy looking back at you in the mirror who you know so well but don't want to trust enough to believe he can do it. Be that guy. Put your word down that you are quit today. Let's stop fucking around and get on the path to owning your life again.

Thanks guys for all the support..I guess the one mistake I made was leaving one pinch left...should have thrown it away, but I figure I would have gone to the store anyway. KTB..you're right..I'm not ready I guess..but when I am, I'll be back..i think this forum and network of people can help me when I get in the shit.

Dave -

Kicking this shit is hard. You gotta want it more than anything else in your life. I just don't get the feeling you are at that point yet. Maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds like you want to quit but only if it is not going to cause you any discomfort.

Well...it ain't going to be that way. Quitting is hard and it sucks. No way around it. Quitting is a painful up and down roller coaster of emotions. Did I mention that it sucks?

So, if you are ready....and I really hope that you are...it'd make me feel real good to hear how much you really want this, how much you really hate big tobacco, how you hate being a drug addict, and how you want to quit for one reason --- for you.

Anything less is leaving yourself open to failure.

And that sucks.

Dave,
Look at the number of people reaching out to you already and all you did was post I think I want to quit. Where else will you ever hope to find this type of support. On top of that you will be getting help from people who have walked the road you want to be on.

Freedom can be yours if you want it. You just have to dump your stash, post your word and keep it. The offers have been extended.... Choice is yours.

Never Again !!
Greg

Dave, your intro really hit a cord with me. Just replace football with baseball. I dipped a can a day for 32 years. For the last 10 years it was always going to be my last can for a lot of reasons. I am not 58 days into my quit and feeling great. I am amazed at how that nic bitch controlled my time and my life. Quit for you, use this site. It works when everything else seemed to fail. Personal accountability and a network of badass quitters to hold you accountable is a great thing. I am quit with you today !!

As a football coach, I'm sure you use words like accountability and honor all the time. I bet you give pre-game speeches that include stuff about having each other's back and watching out for you teammates on the field. You teach your players the value of things like determination and hard work. You ask them to look inside and dig deep when the odds are against them....

Apply all of the things you do every day to your quit. Post roll every day and honor it. It's a simple process. You can quit for 1 day right? That's all we do here. We quit today. Then tomorrow we post roll and quit again for 1 day.

Anyone can keep dipping brother - it takes a bad mfer to quit. You are no different than anyone else here. Dipped for 30 years? seen it. Dip 3 cans a day? seen it. Coach football? seen it. Had trouble quitting because of your environment and triggers? seen it. You have the power to take control. Only you can do it.

The hardest step is the first one. I never believed that I could quit. Here I am 61 days later. A walking breathing example of how this site works.

If your fellow coaches want to keep dipping, thats 's their business - you aren't them. You are you. Take control man - you will never regret it.
I have control over my quit. There's no luck involved. - Diesel2112

Well..I've been wanting to quit for a long time! I go through those days of buying individual cans instead of rolls because I think I'm quitting..then back to buying rolls. I coach football, and our first official day we can practice is Monday. Two other coaches on my staff dip, and I know it's going to be hard trying to quit around them let alone quitting at the beginning of the season...been promising my wife for the last few years..after season. There's so much time after practice in the coaches office planning, on the field, driving to games, during games, victory dip, got our butt kicked dip, need something to get me going this morning because we just played Week night game and I have to get up early and teach dip...and so on..don't like etc... Any recommendations? I'm a big guy and I read about some people who get foggy or have hot flashes..don't wanna have hot flashes while I'm in 100+ degree Mississippi heat during two-a-days. Really wanna kick this though.

Dave
Dave I've been setting here waiting for you to post! I don't know why I couldn't sleep, saw you register then come here and started posting. So I've just been waiting for you. There is always excuses believe me we've heard them all. If you want to quit (I mean want more than anything you have ever wanted) you can quit! You are an addict if you don't already know it! This is no habit, it is a addiction very similar to heroine or cocaine. That's right you are a fucking drug addict!!! I quit 119 days ago and have done the same thing every morning since! You can too! We all come here early every day post a promise in our roll call to our group to not use nicotine in any form for that day! If you quit now you will be in theNovember Pre HOF class go there and post roll and begin your journey and know you are not alone you have a army of support here to help you through the daily or hourly battles! We all are doing the same thing! Check your inbox(1) upper right.

You've come to the right place Dave if you want to kick this bitch. This is the beginning of your season of QUIT. Throw out all your stashes, look deep inside yourself and all we ask here is that you make that promise to quit for 1 day. The honor that promise. Then tommorrow when you wake, make that same promise again.

You will have 72 hours of hard times as the nic bitch leaves your system. Tons of water and exercise will help alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. I really never got the hot's, so have no experience there.

Get ready for a great game coach and remember when you are here at this site you are one of our team members as well.

yell if ya have any questions
