just freaking do it already. post roll. admit your addict and get on with it.

i hear what you're saying -- unfortunately there is a different answer for everyone out there. for me personally, i woke up one morning and i'd just had enough. it was time to quit. i'd read a ton about quitting... i knew that i had to quit and it was just time.

did i have my mind around the idea of quitting forever? hell no. in fact i still don't worry about "forever". quit for TODAY. that's MUCH easier to conceptualize.

it sounds like that's what you're struggling with -- forever. don't.

deal with today... you can quit for today right? you can get past one ball busting day right? then do it.

we'll deal with tomorrow when we get there.

finally remember this. NEVER underestimate the power of ONE DAY off dip. rome wasn't built in a day and neither was your addiction. but your QUIT -- now that my friend can be built in a day -- one day at a time.

Have you not read all the replys in your earlier post? You remind me of a little kid that is going swimming for the first time. Deathly afraid to get in the water and get wet behind your ears. Once your in, your in, you just have to get in. We're like your little floaties, trust us we'll keep you afloat. Go ahead, try it, I dare you. I just don't understand what part you don't get. You dump your shit, suck it up, never go back. Deal with the rest of the crap day to day as it comes up. Did your momma have a hard time getting the bottle out of your mouth?

Hold on, visit this site, post roll, chat, read everything you can get you hands on, drink lots of water, chew gum and seeds, do whatever you have to do to stay quit, for starters

[Easy]

alright, I read somewhere in here today that someone was running a marathon, and trying to quit as well.... quitting mirrors running, in that you have to prepare mentally and physically......
the first step, is to dump the can.....i get that..... how in the hell do you mentally prepare,, iuchewie says its just a decision..... so.... do you just dump it all out that you can find and hold on for dear life?

[Ready]

Easy,

There is alot of wisdom and experience in the previous posts. Many, many years of experience. Also, some damn good advise.

If you were looking for a shove in the right direction, you have it many times over.

Now, Quit.

Do that and keep your word. There is no doubt that we can help you stay quit.

I logged on back in Sept. of last year, certain that it was my time.....  well, of course I caved and have not made yet another attempt........  I have chewed since about age 12, I'm 37 now.  It seems that I go thru more now than I did say a year ago......  I have three kids, and I have my moments where I truly think that Im one of the ones who can skate by without getting cancer and be fine......
I know that's fuckin stupid logic, and just an easy way to put it off......  Why is the thought of just dumping out my cans completely horrifying?  Then what?  Does my head rotate like the gal on the Exorcist and I go totally fuckin nuts?  I need to quit, and I half ass want to quit.....  it seems so unattainable......  snoose is so pathetic, I cannot believe the grip it has...... 
lookin for advice,,,  gettin yelled at... whatever...
thanks

Easy,

We are the same age. I started that shit at 11 or 12 years of age. I am quit now. 816 days worth of being quit. If I can do this, you can too...........and you should. Say a big FUCK YOU to tobacco before it FUCKS YOU BIG!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

.........and yes, I was yelling. _

I'm 37 also. Dipped that shit since before I was 10. Was up to a 2.5 can a day habit up until 23 days ago. I hit my wall when my wife's doc told her he thought I was ten years older than I am, and said i must be a heavy nicotine user to have prematurely aged so much. That did it for me.

Dump the shit out, and come over to July and sign roll.

I'm 37 too, and have 3 girls and I can proudly say that my youngest daughter knows me as a non-dipper, she's never seen her daddy with a chew in. You have no idea how good that makes me feel. Absolutely no idea because you've blown that opportunity when you caved and sadly for you, you'll never get that back. Hopefully you realize that your life is full of once in a life time moments and when they're gone, they're gone. Each time you show up with a dip in your mouth is another opportunity that you've blown and one day, your time will run out.

In another life, I might feel sorry for you and possibly empathize and wish you the best of luck because deciding to quit once and for all is very hard. Living free from addiction has a price, but mere words cannot describe the reward. But right now, I don't feel the least bit sorry for you.

If you want to quit, you'll quit. If your life and family means anything at all, you find it within yourself to close the door- for good.

Once that happens you're our brother for life, until that happens, you're just another selfish dumb ass living on borrowed time.

"I Half Ass Want To Quit" That makes you a full ass!!!

Come back after you get a positive biopsy - then you will be ready to quit. Oh, but that will be to late then.

You have read the posts on this site. Ever look at dippers, most don't look very smart do they? Nope, most are Red Neck - Hill Billy, Dicktards who could not assimilate a sentence to save their life. Those are the guys that don't post here and will never quit. They are too stupid to realize that they are just killing themselves.

The guys on this site are the few X-Dippers smart enough to seek help in fighting their addiction before it is to late. The ones who are not "Half Ass Ready To Quit". Real men who care about their family - they want to be around for their wife and kids and are willing to endure the few days of hell for a life time of responsibility and the enjoyment
of being free, without the guilt of knowing what a selfish bastard you really are for doing this to your family.

noodle what I said and when you are ready to commit to your quit 100%, come back. Go away for now, we just do not have time to help a half ass quitter!!!

Easy,
I am an addict. You are an addict. Now, say it with me, "I am an addict." Now, say it out loud, "I am an addict." Go stand in front of mirror and say, "I AM AN ADDICT!"

If you can't do that you will not quit today. Crosshair was getting at it, the plant and it's contents of nicotine is your drug. It is the most powerful narcotic when it comes to psyiological and psychological addiction. Turkey is on target that there will be triggers for any addict. You must know what they are and come up with a plan to conquer them. Read all over this site, lots of great info and people that have done many different things to stay quit.

So, you are here because there is some intelligence located in your thick skull that says its time to quit or you are here because you are looking for someone to say "there are thousands of guys who chew a can a day and will never get cancer. Keep chewing you are probably one of them." I think somebody else but it so eloquently with you ain't got not fucking special powers over cancer. It is a equal opportunity killer.

Make your choice. Hope to see you in a quit group.
