General Discussion - 2010

[flash]

I don't want to quit, but I know I need to. How do I make myself quit?

Try dipping to the point of getting oral cancer. That may make you "want" to quit.

Put your big boy pants on and come back when you are serious. There is some bad ass quitting going on around here and the serious guys do not need your shit.

big boy pants? listen man....all of these 'badass quitters' were in my shoes once. You all dipped, and you liked it. it tasted good mostly, and it helped you relax. No reason to get high and mighty because you're not dipping anymore. You were exactly where I am once. I'm only asking: How do I get where you are?

You have to want to quit and you obviously do not want too you just feel you need to. You may be feeling sick right now, you have a mouth sore, you have chest pains, you have something in you that is telling you that you have to quit. Well guess what, once you quit you will feel so much better and in a few weeks the nic bitch will tell you that because you are feeling better and that it will be OK to dip a little and since you don't want to quit, you will dip a little and you will have wasted all of our time. We have seen it many times.
So like we said, you need to want to quit and want to be quit with us. We will help but you had better convince us that you are worth our time.

So, no tricks or secrets whatsoever? just determination?

Determination and accountability is the name of the game around here. We all are in a quit group and we post roll call everyday saying to our quit brothers that we will not use nicotine that day. Our word is our bond. We we post roll and give our word we keep it. We do it all over again the next day and so on.

My word is as good as gold. How is your's?

Yeah, you can say I once was in your shoes. I remember the time I felt I needed to quit, but not the want. It took nearly 30 more years and several half-assed attempts because I didn't really want it. It was "only" when I want and when I was damn determined to make this a serious high priority, finding this site and listening to every bad-ass quitter who went before me, that I was successful.

mikea did have a couple of tricks....he sucked off donkeys. Said gargling the seamen really took off the edge.

no babyB. There is no secret, nothing we are hiding. I know it sounds simple...but the way to quit is by not putting that shit in your mouth. That has worked for me for 210 days.

I would encourage you to look around the welcome center and read about roll and why we do it. When you are ready and WANT to quit...you post up your day 1. Then MIke will share with you the best way to get the donkey erect.

I am only 9 days into my quit - how I got here is I chose to make a lifestyle change. Like you I had heard all the bad, the cost, the cancer, the slavery, the addiction - none of it made a difference. For whatever reason on 10/9/2010 at 5:00PM - I quit, period. Cold turkey - and will not look back.

I speak alot about telling everyone around me about quitting - including my wife - but I quit for me, for purely selfish reasons, my life. People around me knowing I am a quitter helps, I don't want to let them down but you got to look at the man in the mirror and decide. What do you like best - "the product" or yourself. It should be an easy decision.

The people on this site are harsh, yes - because they were you, they have fought the fog and the hurt and the suck and everything else I am just beginning to learn about (like not taking a shit for 5 days) - but we all chose to chew at one point and we all choose to quit. If these people are harsh - they have earned it - you want to earn it - quit chew, dip snuff or what ever, now cold turkey, get with a group, get support and listen to the harsh language and the put downs - the best one that got to me was "your a fuckin junkie addict, dick head". Perfectly true, perfectly acceptable, I will live with that for the rest of my life - I will just never dip again. The harshness and the roll call and the comraderie of this board help me stay quit. I make that promise everyday.

The way in is to quit.

even still I would want to dip.

I'm being serious. I don't want cancer, I don't want nicotine pumping through my otherwise healthy veins, I don't want to spend $5 a day, I don't want beuger's disease, I don't want a 'redneck' label.

I guess I love the product, but hate the addiction. Did anyone else here start out like that? What advice is there?

bottom line, it will never work until you want to quit. I "tried" quitting many times...thought it was what I should be doing. Thought it was what my wife wanted. Thought it would be best for my health. Each time I went in with that mind set I failed and so will you.

You change your mind and decide you want to quit, well then you come back and we will do everything possible to help.

Hey guys.....well, new to this site as of today and had my last chew FOREVER, on Monday night at 8:32pm so today is Wednesday and I am almost through day 2. Glad I found this site and all the support, I feel I am going to need it! I will be of as much support as I can to all of you the same way. Here is to banging my head against the wall called "quitting." 'bang head'

another one bites the dust??

Might want to check and clean out the pockets on those fall and winter jackets.  Last night I put on my fall leather jacket to go for a ride on the motorcycle.  In one pocket was a round container.  I was a bit nervous to look.  Not that I would use it, but just didn't want to be that close to this crap.  Turns out it was a left over can of Mint Snuff from last year when my mouth hurt so bad that I "took a break". 

So it reminded me of two things:

1)  Clean out those hiding places (might be interesting to hear where you all have hid this crap)

2)  How stupid I was that instead of thinking I needed to quit last year because my mouth hurt, I just switched to mint so my gums could heal a bit.

This is OUTSTANDING advice. I was quit for over 2 years when I ran across a can in a shoebox in the bottom of my closet. Fucking mind of an addict hiding shit all over the house.

Never again for any reason...

I personally love the use in here of the phrase "never again" :wub:
