Nice work bro. You have made a tremendous decision. You got to know that you are not alone in this. There are a ton of folks here that can and will help if you let them know. So in your hour of need, reach out. Get on the boards. Text a quit brother. Let someone know.

I quit with you.

Great job Dave on posting a Day 1! You have promised that you will not use nicotine in any form today. And every quitter on this site supports you. And all of that support costs you nothing more than promising to not put cancer candy in your lip. That's a mighty fine fucking deal, if you ask me.

Big Dave - I'm also a 30 year dipper and a football coach. Like you I am getting ready to start camp for the first time (ever - coach or player) without nicotine. Today is day 45 for me so the fear of engaging in activities where we ceremoniously dipped is subsiding - I have done many things this year that I never thought could be done without dip (fighting wildfires, backpacking, fishing, a family week in the Outer Banks, hanging around my chainsmoking brother, etc.). The truth is that "thinking" about doing certain things without dip is scarier than actually doing it. In fact, you may find you enjoy them even more without dip.

I always used football, fishing, and my chew-addicted friends as crutches to avoid quitting. The truth is - nothing makes you chew except yourself- nobody throws you on the ground and shoves a pound of copenhagen down your throat. You wake up every day and make the same choice you have every day of your life: chew or no chew.

These guys are pounding on you because they know you are still choosing to use.

Quit with me and we'll get through camp together - we'll come out on the other side with healthy gums and well-deserved pride in having the courage to wade through hell with the rest of the quiiters.

Fucking BRAVO Wt. I admire the determination and the quest that you are on. Proud to be a part of ANY thing you are a part of.

Big Dave, before you re-post or respond to anything today, read back through this thread. The things you have said and the things we have said. I hope you get it this time around. We are not trying to bully you into quitting. We genuinely want you to quit. For your sake, not ours. This site and these people will save your life, and ask nothing in return.

Post Roll this morning, and begin the journey. You will be glad you did. Reach out, let us show you there is a better life! Use the pm, contact some of us. It doesn't have to be Wt. But one day, if you quit with us, I promise you will go back to him and thank him. This IS the most important thing you can do right now.

I understand I shouldn't have said I had a dip in..i apologize for typing that..but I'm honest.

I get the whole tough love thing but what I don't get is being compared to sandusky. Idipped snuff..i didn't rape young boys. Go fuck yourself wt57.You're the same one who wanted to swap phone numbers in my inbox..fuck off and fuck you. Sounded like you just wanted to one up all the other guys that jumped on my ass. I know you wouldn't say that shit to my face without me beating your fuckin eyes out.

To all you other guys who jumped on my ass...I'll take it like a fuckin man. I shouldn't have said I had a dip in. I get it. I plan on tomorrow being day 1 of my quit. There's no snuff in the house, truck, or fieldhouse. I hope to post roll when I wake up.

and again wt57..fuck you
Post roll now!! Why wait!! And fuck me!! I don't give a shit what you think of me as long as you quit and you quit being a killer role model to young men!! Man up and not only quit but do something positive to kill tabacco use among the-boys that Look up to you! I put my hand out there and it is still there if you quit. Rage before you quit??? Just wait!!!
It's not you saying you had a mouth full that set me off
Keep reading, see how many of us started dipping during high school sports! If coaches reached out and discouraged it and actually taught the dangers maybe some of us and countless others would have spared a life of addiction. How many Tom and Jenny Kerns or Randy's stories could be prevented! Fuck me again! I'm old I could die now and I've lived a long miserable addicted life I really don't give a shit! But when I do die I will tell you one thing. I can say never have I let an opportunity go by to talk the evils of tabacco, even though I wasn't forth coming and honest about my own use!
I really hesitate to do this but I'm going to: to begin my story I am not seeking sympathy in telling my story. I have never spoken openly about this but as a young lad I was repeatedly sexually abused by a family friend and role model!! My life was ruined because of this abuse! I have lived with that skeleton in my closet for over 50 years, my wife was the first person I told and that was the first week of my quit. Just as I was learning to cope with life in high school I was again attact by another adult role model a high school teacher and wresting coach! This attack wasn't sexual in nature, it was a combination of emotional, physical abuse combined with using my peers to attact me, but was equally distructve and left me with emotionally scars. These two life altering series of events lead me into a life of depression. I was introduced to nicotine and alcohol during this difficult time and I associate my addictions to these events. I wasn't trying to one up anyone! Rather I was trying to make a point you don't have to stick your dick in the young men to do permanent damage to them!! A poor example that leads to deadly distructve behavior may have lasting effects that are just as distructve! For me I honestly can't say which abuse had the more distructve effect. Over 100 days ago I had to deal with my abuse. I had to face the demons they were trying to derail my quit. I ceremonially had to flush all of those events down the toilet like I had my last 3 cans of Copenhagen a couple weeks earlier. I successfully did rid myself of this. Then tonight I read this thread and memories, anger, hatred and everything about my high school abuse came rushing back! I have aquired tools here to help me cope with life and will move on now but I will not back down on the comments I made, abuse comes in many forms! There was more that came out of this tread that I have to deal with but now is not the time.
Dave you can continue to tell me to fuck off I really am not hurt by that! If you were here you could beat my fucking eyes in I'd still say the same thing. My hand is still extended your quit is important to me. But even more important your example to the team!!

What the fuck? You come in here asking us to help you quit and man after man line up to help you along the way only to have you step back and spit in their faces.

Then you have the audacity to come back in here saying you have your face stuffed with a dip? So not only do you spit in our faces for trying too help, you piss on everything this site stands for. I suppose you would be the kind of guy to bring a six pack to an AA meeting.

You are right, you are not ready. You do not deserve to be on the same pages with these men. When/if you decide you are ready come back and show us you mean what you say we will be here free from the little weed you suck on daily.

Until then I ask you to stop posting anything here while you have your face
stuffed with tobacco.

UNFUCKINGREAL....
You have a big fat one in right now? What a fucking d bag. I assume you coach hs football? Nice example to set for those kids. One of my hs football coaches dipped too...I thought he was cool as hell yelling at us with a lip full of shit. After hs I realized he was a total ass clown. Also he had to have skin taken from the roof of his mouth sewn to his lower lip. You're not serious about quitting so to use a football term, punt your ass out of here and quit wasting everyones time. Hope you don't tell your team to "dig deep" this season when you're a Pusey ass bitch digging nothing more than your eventual grave. Read the Kern family story if you think nothing bad can happen to big bad football "men".
I was not going to comment on this because I'm not totally convinced Dave is for real! If you are and you come here and tell us all this shit I see very little difference between you and coach Jerry Sandusky, who was convicted of 45 counts of sexual abuse of children. You are abusing these young men you coach in a different way but just as harmful of a way. You are introducing and glamorizing a lifestyle of drug usage. You coach are encouraging this killing lifestyle!
Show you have some balls! Coach Dave (sandusky) either flush that poisonous drug and join us in quitting nicotine or for the love of God and these young men quit coaching and abusing these guys that look up to you as a role model! I would go one step further besides quitting tabacco you should campaign against it use in your school, doing everything you can to put your influence to work to prevent young people from ever starting!! You will not find anyone of us addicts that wouldn't give anything not to have taken that first dip, and most of those first dips were in High School!!

Pussy. Yep, I called you a pussy. Prove me wrong. Step up, man up, throw that shit away and fucking quit. None of us thought we could do it. It sucks for every fucking one of us. But we get each other though the day. That's it. Today. We will worry about getting through tomorrow when we wake up.

You CAN do this. Stop telling lies to your wife and to your team. They deserve a better you. You do, too.

Do you really mean that your life is not worth fighting for? Anything in life that is hard takes effort. That's one of the messages you ought to be preaching to the kids you coach.

Too bad you aren't willing to walk the walk.
