Shit or get off the pot, kind sir. Join us and try to salvage whatever time you have left, or go down with a tin and wonder "What if?"

Stand up and be counted by posting roll or don't waste our time.

I know how you feel brother...My only quit in 25 years was Basic Training and because I was forced to stop. The first thing I did at my tech school was buy a can and start again. I have tried numerous quits with nicotine patches and the rest of that shit just led me right back to dip again. But here I am, on 42 Days nic free and without my bitch of a can controlling me and let me tell you bro, it feels good. I feel like shit every once in awhile but its a small price to pay without having death hang over my head. Think about it and PM if you need some help.

Life or death. Your doubt is addict speak for fear. That fear has you looking at a terrible death. Your life is worth living. You have something to offer. If you don't, you wouldn't have logged on and signed up.

The thing to realize is regardless of the number of years you put cancer candy in your mouth, there is a man who has been living in the framework of an addict. You're just like the rest of us. We know that existence and we know what its like when that framework is broken down and you start living as you again. May be you don't even remember that guy. Hell, I had to learn how to be married without nicotine. Learn how to be a dad without nicotine. Learn how to go to sleep without nicotine. Learn how to sit on the toilet without nicotine. All those things can be done without nicotine. I know they can. And when I see all those things that I can do without nicotine, I realize that I have a life and I'm important to me.

Now, dump that shit out of your mouth. You put a fucking poison in mouth consciously for 50 years pop. Its not going to be easy. Hell no. But if those shriveled up raisins of yours still produce any "man juice", you can dig deep and fight. Fight for who you know you are. A clean man looking towards tomorrow and not knowingly contributing to an early death. You better read this thread over a few times. You tell me. You think all these folks are lying? You think they/we are the special ones...the only ones that could do it?

Neat username. Did you snort the stuff?

Listen, I don't care if you've dipping for one year or fifty. You are an addict. You have made the decision to stop by this site and sign up. You don't want to die a dipper? That's a great first step.

It's simple: throw out all you dip related items, if they exist. Then post roll here everyday. Go to bed at night, get up the next day and do it again. Then repeat, pretty much forever.
It's fucking that easy.

The first few days are sheer misery. Everyone of us will tell you that. Get names/numbers of people in you pre-HOF group. and reach out when the craves hit. That is why we are here. I regularly reach out to the brothers when the nic bith is tugging at me. Believe me. We have all been there. If we can do it, so can you! Drink a ton of water, too. Your system will be flushed out in a few days. (Though at 3 cans/day, it may take a bit onger.)

PM me if you need to. You CAN do this!!

Cmon and quit with me, huh?

Yikes man, what do you think your grandchildren would say to that? Lead by example, you have people looking up to you. Don't just do it for them, do it for yourself... You want a giant lump cheek when they put you in the coffin?

You would ONLY fail if you DECIDE to fail. If you DECIDE you are going to QUIT, then you QUIT. Just quit for TODAY...then worry about what you are going to do tomorrow when you get out of bed in the morning. If you were my grandpa, I would want you to QUIT!! So, what are you waiting for? Your next dip may be the one that puts your grandchildren in tears leaning over your casket. Please QUIT....today....

You can't hurt my quit. This place helps people help themselves.

50 years is no different than 5 years. An addict is an addict. I know, I was more than 38 years dipping until 42 days ago. I actually think the longer time dippers have an advantage because we have that many more years of hating it.

Please let us know when you are ready to quit. Not ready to try or attempt, just frickin done with it. I got my inspiration when a dipping buddy told me he has stomach cancer 42 days ago. The damn Tobacco companies are murderers. Dipping is no longer an option in my life. Those fuckers owe me 38 years and $50,000. I am willing to suffer forever if it prevents me from feeding those criminals.

Spit it out, flush your shit, and never look back. It can be done!

Hold on a damn minute there gramps...You are setting yourself up for failure. You are allowing the nic bitch to make you think like.....an ADDICT! It is not that damn difficult. You simply decide that you want to quit. Then nut up and get to Quitting! I dipped 24 years and have been nicotene free for 500 days tomorrow! You can too. Simplyy decide that you are done!

No doubt it is tough to get started on this endeavor that seems impossible (that is the addiction talking). I felt that way 77 days ago. Jump in, drink the koolaid, and before you know it, you will have a whole bunch of days of freedom under your belt.

One day at a time. The system here is genius and WILL work for you if you utilize the tools. That is a 100% guarantee.

OK LoC - you posted your message over five hours ago. Got a couple of replies. No word from you though. You want help or no? You ask for advice, you came to the right place. There are some badass motherfuckers on this site that can give you all the advice you can handle (I ain't one of 'em, but they're here).

You posted and went dark. I know you've been out there today lurking. Don't say this is a "nice little site" and then disappear. We're all here to help. You just gotta want to accept the help. You might think most of us are too damn young to offer you anything. Don't let that stop you. I got the best support I needed on this site from someone nearly half my age.

Fifty years. Shit. Swear to God man in April I was looking at myself thinking "am I still gonna be doing this shit when I'm 50?" - forget 65.

Don't quit before you die. Quit before it kills you. Haven't you heard? 65 is the new 40!

Come on LoC...

Please post back in. I would love to see you get quit with us. I am only 26 but imagine if you could get quit and in turn help people my age save their lives.

Also I have to mention that if you have ever wanted to act like a teenager again you will fit in here nicely. I do believe some of our oldest members are by far the most immature.
