Hello everyone. Yep. Gonna give it my best shot again. I'm soon to be 34 yrs old and started dipping when I was 14. "Quit" several times throughout the years. A week here. A month there. And one time for about 3.5 yrs. I have three boys (13,8,3mths) and the oldest two, along with my wife, have been begging me to quit forever. Anyways, I'm at work sitting in my truck surrounded by 15+ cans of Copenhagen. I'm using about 2-2.5 cans/day. I know. Ridicoulous right? I have all intentions of quitting ASAP. Believe it or not, I'm actually tired of dipping. I really only enjoy it now after I eat and after.....wellllll you know! Do I intend to polish off these 15+ cans of bad habit? I don't know yet. But I do intend to "Quit". Thanks in advance for any help. Oh, and I'm pulling for you too.
Those 15 cans of addiction are 15 too many! Never a better day to quit than today. Don't keep them as an investment, security blanket, or rescue. All you need is your word posted in the October quit group roll and you have it in you to quit, get through the physical withdrawal and then fight the bitch every day. I'll look for your roll post TODAY!
By the way the first step is to throw all that away in the nastiest, wet and smelly dumpster in the worse dangerous neighborhood you can find. Don't want to find yourself diving in later to retrieve those death cans. Get going!
Not sure I can do it cold turkey this time. So I'm thinking about going the "fake dip" route to help me out. At this point, a lot of my problem is I'm so used to always having a pinch in. I think the "fake dip" will help me with that. What are your thoughts on that? Or, are you dead set on chunking the cans and getting down to business?
15 cans? 2 cans a day? Man, that is about 4k a year! What a shame...
My suggestion? This isn't time to try. This can't be another one of "those tries." I think you need to dig deep. Think about what made you restart after 3.5 years. What are you gonna do different this time? This website and the members will throw a world of quit your way, but let me tell you, you better be ready for it.
What I'm getting at is this - if you are "gonna try again," you are in the wrong place bud. We are serious. I am a numbers guy and my head is spinning thinking about what 4k a year compounded in Pfizer or ConocoPhillips stock would do for your kids college funds some day.
If you are ready to throw those 15 cans out - you are in the right place. Once you do that and post roll, you can shove your lip full of shredded glass if you'd like and we will support you. As long as the glass has no nicotine. Many, including kc guy (a bad ass August quitter) swear by the fake stuff to help them out. Reach out and ask, but first, make sure your mind is in this game.
4k a year man... 3 little kids. Think about it.
