Intro

I still can't even picture myself without it, not as if I couldn't quit, but what life would be like without it.  Its hard to fathom.

You can't look at it as a forever from now kind of thing. What we do here is take everyday as it comes and just promise to be nicotine free for one day. Now, I am not as experienced as these other bad ass quitters on here, but I will tell you one thing. On here we are all the same, a 5 year quitter or even a 1 day quitter is the same. We are all addicts and we all come here to promise each other that we will be quit for today.

Please take a look around. I found that looking at the pictures of cancer on this site keeps me remembering why I am quit today. You need to find your reason and have it be a constant reminder of why you are quit.

Are you lipping one right now? If not that is what it feels like. Freedom,,, thats what it feels like. Take your life back. Stop being a slave to something that is killing you. Millions live without out it everyday. Why can't you? Life is meant to be lived without nicotine. Make a decision. Toss that can of life taking good for nothing krap in the toilet. start living life the way it was intended.

Me not taking a dip at the moment feels more like an anxiety attack, feels like a pressure on my mind that moves through my spinal column down to my hips. It's akin to a bone chilling cold shiver.

I want to quit because I like my life, I like being healthy. I spent years in weight rooms, lifting, cardio, etc. I neglect fried foods, heavy starches, and unnecessary fats. I take care of myself in every aspect but the tobacco that clings to me.

I guess I should have been more clear in my first post. I was more hopeful that people would read my thoughts and see the underwritten cry. You guys write "just quit" as if it were that simple. Like I am supposed to get up right now and toss the rest of an almost full can away. On paper that seems very logical, a very simple task, but when it comes to doing it.. Well.. Is it like that for everyone? Is this a sign that I'm not ready? I feel hesitant because it is a part of who I am now. I've looked at the horror stories, deaths and dismemberments, I don't want to be that story. I don't want to carry around a can every day, be dependent on this "weed", be addicted to something that kills.

I even looked at the synthetic dip or fake dip, whatever you may call it and it gives me hope. I've often thought that maybe mints and gum could help me for a few days. Is that how someone starts this? Just chew gum for a day and if it works, great, if it doesn't try something else? It just seems like a long road and what do you do if you can't dip on the journey?

We get it. You want to quit. Now answer the question posed to you.

WHY do you want to quit? "To be healthy" is an answer, but is that your reason? Trust me, everybody reading your reply asked themselves the same question just about every day they dipped. I haven't asked them individually, but they all wanted to be healthy without working for it just like you and I did.

I want to support you, but you have to give us the cry for help. I cannot SEE your cries for help. This a a website. Describe this shit to us; describe this anguish that led you here.

We've all been there, that's what this site is about, but you need to tell us why you are here.

We understand where you are at, all to well. I'm not sure you really have the true desire to quit. That may seem harsh and even piss you off but for 40 years I wanted to quit, wanted to be healthier, wanted freedom but always postpone till tomorrow or another day. I'm not sure what the final straw that brought me to quitting but I do remember the pain of the decision. Deciding to quit and sticking with it everyday is a daily decision that became easier with Time and is now very easy. For me that moment of deciding to finally quit was a turning point, I knew it was different than all the times that I thought I'd quit if it wasn't difficult (wishing or hoping I could quit).

Quitting takes Balls, lots and lots of Balls

It is clear that masturbator has no balls...
Therefore, until he grows a little baby scrotum let him keep his "spine tingling' can of cancer.
Kind of dont like being an asshat on the Lord's Day, but I hate seeing all this badass quit wasted on an enuch....

Stop your hand-wringing, grow a pair and Quit ! No more excuses. We know it is hard. We do it one day at a time then repeat. We can not hold your hand and walk you into the quit waters, wade out to us and we will support you.

Pm me for support.

We've all been there, brother. I described the feeling like standing on a cliff blindfolded with a bunch of strangers telling me to jump and that it would be ok. My knees were rattling, maybe a bead of sweat trickles off my forehead. Nothing in my being said it was going to be ok because the nic bitch has a pretty tight hold. But we jumped, the landing was rough but we brushed ourselves off, survived and thrive.
You can do this.

You asked if it really is that easy.. The easy part is actually tossing the can out and flushing the contents. The not so easy part is heading down to the corner store a few hours later and spending another 5 or so dollars so you can get your fix. It is hard for you to see it now,, but your brain is deceiving you everyday. The nicotine in your system makes you think you can't live without it. I am 59 days quit after a 25 years of dipping. The difference I feel now is amazing. We can encourage you and tell you how much better life is without the can,, but you have to make the final dicision to take your life back. Kill the can is a place you can come after you've quit for advice, words of encouragement and friendship. Mollies, start thinking of quiting as one day at a time. We are not asking you to quit for 2 days, 5 days, 2 weeks, a year. We are asking you to post roll and take it one day at a time. One minute, one hour, one day at a time and you can have your life back without nicotine.

Yes, I want to quit. It scares the pure hell out of me to quit though. I still can't even picture myself without it, not as if I couldn't quit, but what life would be like without it. Its hard to fathom. Its become who I am. I guess I just wonder where you find the strength to jump into the unknown like this. I hate/love dip. Its like the skanky girl down the street in highschool, you hated screwing her because of the idea, but damn she was good at it.

That's where I'm at right now. But I took the time to join this site, that's gotta be something right?

Don't give yourself credit for joining this site. Seriously, don't. I'd venture to say you shouldn't give yourself any kudos at all right now. You took the first step, but you didn't complete it. You told us why you hate the bitch, but you didn't initially tell us that you really, really wanted to quit. You didn't even tell us WHY you wanted to quit for YOU.

Give yourself kudos each day that you actually do it. Post it on your intro thread if you want to. I'll quit with you every single day if you really, really want to quit.

Read back over your last post. You said you wanted to quit, but you never said WHY you wanted to quit. It is a very, VERY important question that you have to consider.

I joined this site six months before I quit. It took me six months plus sixteen years to answer the question of WHY I wanted to quit. Answer it for us. Better yet, answer it for you.

"Its like the skanky girl down the street in highschool, you hated screwing her because of the idea, but damn she was good at it."


Man, I remember that skanky chic down the street pretty well. Waves of fragrance like chicken of the sea and not the dolphin safe kind greeting you at the door. A liter of 100 proof in a paper bag just to get you in. Pimply poked ass just quivering atop cottage cheese thighs while deflated breasts sadly sagging with gravity, swing seductively near her knees.
I remember the 8 inch q-tip that the doctor shoved unceremoniously into my pee-hole and the fission like burning I felt when I peed. I remember the itchy rash that spread from my testicles outward in a circumferential reminder of blisters and puss.
She sure was good though!

something perhaps, not very damn much though. Read the welcome center if you haven't yet. When you're done I hope you understand that what IS worth something here is the word of a member when they give their promise each day. A man who gives us his word can ask damn near anything of most of the guys here and get it, it may be a kick in the ass, a pat on the back, a shoulder to lean on or an ear to listen. If you want to quit this is the right place. No one will blow smoke up your ass and tell you it'll be easy but you can do it with the tools offered here.

"Holy Hell!"    The only thought that comes to my mind right now.  I stumbled on to this site a few years back and gave it some consideration.  Sadly, my fiance left me soon after, and well, we all know how that goes.  Quitting wasn't an option then.  When I ventured back to this place tonight, I could feel my stomach turning to knots just reading the symptoms. The instinct to reach into my pocket to make sure my can of dip was still there kicked in.  My hands have become machines designed to weigh out a can by the simple touch.  Just one grasp and I can tell how long I have until I dig in my console or make another trip to the store, sometimes well past midnight. Cans clutter my bedroom trashcan, bottles slide back and forth in my truck, my pants all tarnished with a ring of death in a side or back pocket.  It is my security blanket, my make a bad day good, my good morning and good night.  I feel anxious just considering the idea of quitting again.  Picture Golem from the lord of the rings as I hover over my can, caressing it, quietly whispering "Precious."  I am a man controlled by a monster.    Dear God, I'm gonna need help.    23 years old, high blood pressure already (decent shape and great eating habits), 1.5 cans a day.   

I hate the can already, I hate that I can't leave the house without it. In fact I am more apt to leave the house without pants on, than to leave without sufficient supply of dip.  I live with dippers. Dip is a social event, campfires, hunting, fishing, riding down the road, watching tv after work, We DIP.  How in the world do I surpass this stuff?  It almost seems impossible and I haven't even started. 

HELP

Wonderful sentences right there, but do you want to quit?

Dlee is right there bud, you have stated your hate and what it has done and how you feel, but the big question is left to be unstated...

Do you want to quit for yourself and stop being a slave to nicotene?

If you can look in a mirror and say a HELL YES to that question, then you have come to the right place and I would say read up on the welcome center and you will get all the help that you want here.

But until you do, keep spinning that revolver hoping that that 1 magic bullet of Cancer does not end up in your lower lip from the next dip you take.

your decision.....
