I didn't try it to be cool or from peer pressure, I did it because I am a cowboy and thats what we do. Growing up in a large family of cowboys, drinking and chewing was just a part of life. I have been sober for 2 years now, but that was a cake walk compared to quitting this bitch. I have eaten a can of cope a day for the last 16 years. It has taken me those 16 years to realize that cowboys don't have to eat that stupid shit, without it I am still a cowboy. I am 8 days into my quit. The fog has lifted and I am feeling better physically, but the mind games are killing me. There is someone else in my head telling me that I need it, will die without it, can't do anything without, go get it. I am talking to myself like a damn crazy person, constantly giving myself pep talks. My wife tells me, "you will be fine, its only in your head", well no shit. She does however give me great motivation. She asked me that if I lose my tongue to cancer, how am I going to eat her you know what? That should be enough motivation for any straight man to quit. I have tried to quit maybe 3 times all for the wrong reasons. My mom, girlfriend, wife, everyone else wanted me to. Well guess what that didn't work. I did not know chew was so dangerous. All of the men in my life chew, but I have never heard of anyone getting sick from it. I thought that was only for smokers. I have seen the pictures and read the stories on this site, and now I can say that this is some bad shit that we have been playing with. I can now say that I quit because I don't want to fucking die. I don't want my head to be butchered like a hog, I don't want my 2 baby girls to be scared of daddy because he looks like a freak, and I don't want to lose my tongue and not be able to eat my wife's you know what. Time to go cut hay. Sitting on the tractor all day without copenhagen is going to be a bitch, but I will live because I quit for the right reason. |

Welcome to the site. Sounds like you are approaching this in the right mind set. Take it day by day. Post your promise and keep your word. I will not chew today. Today I am a quiter. Don't let that voice in your head confuse you, we all have to learn to drive thru it. NEVER take that 1 last dip or I can handle it 1 time dip again. Quit, post, come back tomorrow and quit and post. Keep your word and use the connections here if you need to talk/text or vent. Have a great quit today and read everything you can on this site |

"It has taken me those 16 years to realize that cowboys don't have to eat that stupid shit, without it I am still a cowboy". That is exactly how cowboys get shit in thier mustaches. Looking for love in all the wrong places. "All of the men in my life chew, but I have never heard of anyone getting sick from it". You will meet many here that do just fine without it as shall you. "I can now say that I quit because I don't want to fucking die". Don't Quit now and you will - Sooner than later. "Sitting on the tractor all day without copenhagen is going to be a bitch, but I will live because I quit for the right reason". I promise the fucking tractor runs just fine and the hay cuts evenly without that shit in your face - I know. Do you choose life? It is up to you. We can led you to water, even push your ass in, but ultimately it is your choice to sink or swim. ( need a life vest) ? |

I am finally off the damn tractor and your right, it ran just fine without copenhagen. I ate a shit load of herbal snuff and orbit gum, but I made it another day. Thanks for the support, you are the only guys that I could find that understand my struggle to take my life back. I did not understand the control it had on every aspect of my life, it was as second nature as eating, sleeping, and shitting. Couldn't accomplish one damn thing without worm shit in my mouth, but now I see the light. Tomorrow I will face the tractor again, and I will be free. |

One day at a time Cowboy and you can whip this thing . Your wife , unless she is a nicotine addict can't truly understand what your dealing with. However,this fun house freak show full of formerly nicotine soaked nut jobs does get it. We've been there. Follow this link to the Tom and Jenny Kern story- Tom had daughters like me and like you. Read the story, then read the copied piece below. The damage this shit can cause is untold, the possibility of doing this to your love ones is reason enough to quit. Don't play the odds, if your the one who gets it the odds dont matter much. http://www.killthecan.org/facts/jennykern.asp http://www.caringbridge.org/mn/tomkern/
There but for the grace of God ,or Buddah, or whatever helps you sleep at night go we. I will never put that shit in my mouth again, I hope you don't either sM |

"CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it’s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit. After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco." | |

Woke up at 3AM sweating like a whore in church. Sweating so bad that I thought I pissed the bed. Instantly copenhagan was on my mind, so here I sit complaining to you guys trying to get it off my mind. When do we stop thinking about it? When does the shit stop consuming our lives? I am tired of feeling like a slave to a worthless, cock sucking, piece of shit inanimate object in a can. Today I face the tractor again without cope. I will ride that bitch with pride because today I will be free again. GO GATORS |

Well Masterbator...it will take a looong time before you stop thinking about it. Would you expect any different? It took you years to develop and nurture your addiction. It will take time to tame it. Stay close to the site, post roll everyday, and continue to post. That is a recipe for success. The only one many of us have ever found. Implement it. Own it. |

super quitter sensei's words could not be more true, thanks for sharing that with me. I actually had short periods of time today where I thought of something else for the first time in a week. Hope this is sign of progress because I have had enough of that skank whore in a can controlling my every thought. Thanks for the support fellas. |
