I am a 19 year old college student at a small college playing football. I am a young one here, but I have dipping for 4 years. I blame wrestling for me starting dipping, because it is just something everyone else did and I picked up this nasty habit. I just need somewhere to vent because I just quit dipping today and it was really stressful with school and football. I kind of feel like I don't need the help since I see people here that have been dipping for 10-20 years, but I found out my friends aren't real helpful with me quitting (like packing their cans in front of me and dipping in front of me just because I am trying to quit.) Hopefully this will be somewhere I can vent and hopefully I can kick this habit.
Congratulations, college_boy. You're hoping for the right thing. I too hope you get up enough resolve to actually do the right thing. But today, you're blaming other people for your bad decisions. As long as people are around it sounds to me like you're still in trouble, friend.
Today, you're wondering if I or anyone else here can help you, because I chewed for 34 years and you've only been killing yourself for 4. I only chewed one day at a time, exactly like I quit one day at a time, little brother. There are people here who've quit for a heckuvalot more days than you've chewed. Your little candle of hoping and blaming other people is nothing but a black shadow against their light.
Today, you think you've got a "nasty habit". Picking your nose is a nasty habit. Not listening when people are talking to you is a nasty habit. This is no "habit". You are addicted, scholar. Drink plenty of water. Post here every day. Find a solid vet you can relate to and put him in your address book. Make a plan for what you're going to do when you leave your motivation in your other pants. Make a plan, because for the next 80 hours or so you are not going to be capable of thinking straight. And for the rest of your life, you're going to have thoughts of dropping your quit.
So I don't want to embarrass or discourage you, and I'm sorry about the third degree burn but MAN! Maybe you'd like to revise your statement, sir.

Ok, I understand what you're saying. I am going to revise it now. When I made that post last night, I was still thinking about it. I woke up this morning and felt totally different. I am sorry about this, but I will tell you now I am done with dipping. When I said the stuff about wrestling, I meant they got me started on it, but I am the one who decided to keep going and go out and buy the snuff and keep going with it.
I am done with it...I am going to quit and I will stop blaming other people for it. It was my decision and now I am making my decision to kick this addiction in the ass.
I am sorry bout last night's post and hopefully you find this one in better favor. Thanks for the advice you gave me.
You taking my advice makes it golden, college_boy. Otherwise it's useless.
Welcome. You just helped me stay quit for another day.
Your month is June. Please post roll right away.
