I don't want to Quit!

[Can_I_Kick_It?]

I'm still here. And I'm certain there are others out there just like me. Yes, these posts help. I said tomorrow would be the day but I'm now convinced that Today is the day. Thank you and keep the replies coming. Keep me honest. Keep me true to my family.

Toss the bullets out. Make peace with God (if you believe in Him) and ask for strength. Post roll in here today, vowing to stay clear of Nic for 24 hours. Come back in 24 and so he same.

Or stay getting pimped and let Nic wear that ass out.

Bow wow or bow down (to Nic)

Well dude at 48 your kids will move on soon your parents will be dead, I do see your point "you don't have a valid reason to stop". Likely you will continue doing what you "like" and "enjoy". I'm not writing this for you but for those that might read it that are considering a quit. Addiction is a extreme expression of selfishness. A true addict can't see just how selfish their actions are. I'm 10 years older than this addict and understand being a selfish ass, that was me for 40 years. I just found out last night that I'm gonna be a grandpa again and I'm glad I am thinking about the future relationships with family now rather than my next dip. Yea that "dip and spit" is definitely a cool thing to look forward to. 'drool' 'drool' 'drool'

I "like" to dip. I "enjoy" the process. I know I need to stop but I haven't found a valid reason to do so. My wife and kids want me to stop. My parents want me to quit. But I still enjoy the thrill of the dip/spit. Any suggestions? Respectfully, NoQuitter.

If you don't care why should we?

I doubt the energy that's going to go into this thread will be worth it...

He won't be back.

I stopped dipping, 30-40 times for my wife and kids, and usually made it 3 days (with a patch no less). Sometimes I'd make it a week, once I made it 6 weeks. Then I'd get mad at them for whatever reason, and would start dipping again because I didn't care.

A year ago I grew weary of this addiction, and came here to get my ass kicked with the truth - which is you'll never quit without it being for yourself.

Until you want to stop for yourself, it won't happen. I suggest looking into the cancer stories featured on KTC. If your cholesterol or blood pressure are high, nicotine could be causing it. Checked your gums lately?

There are plenty of logical reasons to stop chew just for yourself. The problem is you "enjoy" the addiction. There was a time when I enjoyed a dip as well. That ended and eventually I found KTC. Until you equate that dip  spit with death and slavery instead of thrill, you may stop but you won't quit.

At the end of the day Chrshell, some people just want to kill themselves and some people don't. My dad put a bullet in his brain when I was 12. Now, I miss him and wish he was around for those milestones in my life.

He wasn't there to watch me climb as an all-state soccer player.
He wasn't there for my high school graduation.
He wasn't there to help pull me out of drug addiction and alcohol abuse.
He wasn't there when I was the first in my family to get a Bachelor's
He wasn't there for my first professional job and other professional milestones.
He wasn't there when I when I went on to get my Master's.
He wasn't there for my engagement.
He wasn't there for my wedding.
He won't be there for my first child, my second, my third, etc...

He just won't be there.

But I will be there because I want to be there. I want this. I want to be there for all these moments.

So... I'm not going to kill myself anymore. I quit... today... I quit. When I'm done quitting today, I will quit tomorrow, but I'll worry about that when it comes.

If that isn't a good enough reason for you to quit... kill yourself, I guess. Chip away at yourself with every dip. Pack that tin, pinch a bullet out of it, and stick it in your mouth.

Wow.

Dude this sent a chill down my spine. You are the real deal. Your dad would be proud of you.

Nicotine took my dad away from me at the age of 17 but I was a slave for 25 years. Never again. Life is sweet.

Ever tried an alternative like Hooch or Jake's? I found hooch to work in my favor the first couple weeks when I just wanted a dip to have a dip. Still keep it around just in case I " think" I need one. You want to be around for your family for a long time? That should be a good enough reason to quit. Be strong. You can do it.
