Doc said I MUST quit..

[Remshot]

While you are waiting, why don't you read this, print it out, sign it and give a copy to all of your loved ones. At least they will understand where you are coming from then.

Contract to Give Up

I give up my quit. Quitting is impossible and I cannot do it. I love dipping more than I love myself. I care about dipping more than I care about my personal health. I love dipping more than I love my family. I know this addiction will kill me, and I ACCEPT that fact. I enjoy spending time alone with my can more than I enjoy spending time with anyone else on the planet. I look forward to losing my jaw, my tongue, my throat, my life - it's worth it. When I am lying in my hospital bed fighting a losing battle against cancer I will feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that this is the path I CHOSE. My only regret will be that I didn't start dipping earlier in life. I will feel sorrow for my familyÂ’s heartbreak and suffer untold pain, but I know you must sacrifice for the things you truly love. I know ALL the consequences of my actions and I accept them fully and without regret. I hereby choose to give my life to this addiction - I do so with a smile on face.

I'm proud and envious of everyone here that has kicked the habit. One day soon I hope to show the same pride.

FYI - The post below was not an excuse (for which I know I have many). I was clearly told NOT to post at these forums since I have not quit yet... and then I get "called out" (i know it is for motivation) by you and others. So thanks for the dares and the taunts to quit but the mixed singals about who is welcome here are somewhat discouraging. Thats just an honest observation.

I found a few links to communities like this on google and hoped I could gain some insight and encouragement. I didnt ask for an dont need sympathy (yet) because I havent quit. You guys had to have started gaining encouragement from somewhere.. you werent always strong. I am simply trying to find a community to gain insight and encouragement to stop this ridiculous crap and become free just like you... thats all.

Instead it seems Ive had to defend my reasons for being here. That seems counter productive... but wtf do I know... im still using.

We don't play a bunch of games here. If you want to quit, I promise you we can help you. If you want us to hold your hand and tell you everything is going to be ok while you load your lip up with worm dirt, wrong site. There are other sites that do that and if that is what you're looking for, I suggest you continue on with your google search.
But if you really want to quit, we'll show you how. And we'll let you know what's coming your way, good or bad.
As for posting, we ask that you not post in the quit groups or wildcard section while you're still using. In the words of my friend Capt. Kirk, it's like showing up to an AA meeting with a six pack. If you want to continue to read and post in here, have at it.

MarkÂ…as soon as you are willing to help yourself, youÂ’ll get more encouragement and insight you need, from people who are clean and have been clean for a long time. But dude, LOOTÂ’s approach hasnÂ’t seemed to turn that light on in your head yet, so LOOTÂ’ll save his time and keystrokes. We are a group of hardcore quittin muddafuckers hereÂ…if you want something a lot less aggressive and will play to a more metro centered personÂ…PM LOOT and LOOT will give you an addy.

If pre-cancerous cells aren't enough to motivate you, then we probably can't help you bud.

You know what you are doing is hurting your body and your family, but you choose to sit at your computer and argue about whether you are wanted here or not. Whatever.

If you choose to quit you will be welcomed into a group that will hold you accountable and help you save your own life. If you choose to sit there and say we are making you feel "discouraged", and that you are receiving "mixed signals", you will continue to make excuses until it's too late.

What's it gonna be?

Well, this site is all about quitting, and as long as your still using we can't really help you. You throw all that cancer-in-a-can shit away and quit. Be a man. All you need is this site. It's that simple. Throw your dip away. Get rid of any and all tobacco products you might have. Give us your promise that you won't use tobacco for today by posting Roll in the June 08 group. Every day you come in here and post roll. Every time you are craving a dip come on here and bitch about it. We will listen and then give you encouragement to get through the day. But you have to take that first step. Or we won't be able to help you. That is how 1000+ quitters have been able to quit by using this site over the past several years. I am on day 190 and proud of it. Sure I went through hell several times over the past 190 days but every single time someone was available to help me out. By joining on here and getting to know your brothers you will form an accountability for your quit. Use the LIVE CHAT. See upper right hand corner of the page. It has saved my life on several occassions. We are here to help you Mark. Now show us you are here to quit.
And if you are gonna post youtube links in the Wilcard section you better not be dipping!! This site is for quitters and the wildcard section is used as a distraction from dipping. Don't post in there until you have quit dipping and have posted roll.

I guess I didnt read the info on the main page properly. Sorry for the trouble. You can delete my account if you like and maybe Ill re-register at a later date.

another excuse

pfft

[loot]

Well I have taken "steps" (yes i know its an excuse). I started taking Chantix last week and they say to give it a week and then quit. So hopefully the meds and lots of prayer will sustain me during the first few days of hell. But thanks for the blunt words of advice. Its funny how many excuses we can manage to come up with when faced breaking the power of addicition.

:(

YeahÂ…and you keep perpetuating the game. LOOT is no doctor, but itÂ’s prolly gonna take more like 2 weeks for the Chantrix to kick in. LOOT never took it, but did take about every other one on the market. And you are still gonna go through hell for the first week. GET IT OVER WITH.

You mean to tell LOOT that doctor visit didn’t scare you bad enough to walk through fire for a week or two until the meds dull the pain? Yous a hardheaded sumbitch huh? They might have to get out the 10” circular saw to remove your jawbone.

PrayersÂ…yepÂ…thatÂ’s exactly what you need. LOOT is going to the prayer room right now and ask that He remind you that those things flopping between your legs are balls because you obviously forgotten that fact.

Re-read all the posts weÂ’ve just made, yours included, and give LOOT one good reason why you canÂ’t grab your sac and get moving on this.

You know the anticipation is going to build and build and buildÂ….youÂ’ll dip more and more and moreÂ….and the morning you wake up on Day 1, youÂ’ll shit your pants. We both know it.

Or, you can seize the momentum you have going for you NOW. Tell your addiction to “Fuck off…I’ll deal with anything you throw at me!”

LOOT dares you. LOOT triple dog dares you.

One more week eh? What if within that one week you take that ONE SINGLE dip thatÂ’s turns what you look at in the mirror now into what is in RemmyÂ’s link? Is it worth it? Please tell LOOT how you can justify another week of dipping? You said it yourself, before that week is up, youÂ’ll justify dipping for another weekÂ…etc. etc. etc.

You don’t need a week to “get my mind ready”…what you need is a stiff kick in the ass for being such a damned slave to your addiction. If the combination of “cancer screening and dangerous” used by a professional is not enough to motivate you…what in the fuck is LOOT supposed to say to get through your head? You have no choice but to quit…stop being such a little bitch about it and get it over with. Be a man, go flush your stash, look yourself in the mirror and say “Never again…for any reason!” and if you are a religious man…throw in a “So help me God!” at the end.

Then get your ass in June 2008 group and post that day 1. Anything less is just you throwing yourself a fucking pity party. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and take your life back from UST.

You can do it. We can helpÂ….but only if you let us.

**** I am trying to figure out how to get my mind prepared for this ordeal of quitting. I know I want to... and I know I must... but I just keep making excuses as to why today or tomorow isnt the day. Ive given myself one more week to figure it out. I hope Ill be a regular visitor here.

:wacko:

Stop making excuses and throw the can away and quit.

and in case you don't know, that underlined sentence is a link. Click on it for motivation.

Don't do it for your dentist. Do it for yourself. That's the only way it will last.

[Mark_Kirch]

Well, I finally had the motivation I was looking for.. or at least the motivation that I "thought" would be enough to prompt me to quit. Last week my dentist said my oral cancer screening looked dangerous. He doesnt believe I had any true cancer results although it appeared I had pre-cancerous cells. Hopefully that diagnosis will not change and I will have time to do something before its too late.

- I'm 42 and I have dipped Copenhagen since I was 15.

- I also smoked for 20 years but I finally quit smoking 18 months ago.

- I stopped dipping for about 2 years then started again 2 years ago. I intentionally started dipping again in one of my many failed attempts to stop smoking. Now I must rid myself of tobacco for good.
