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?

i might get involved here but i dont know. 50 years is a long time boys... that pretty much means i been married to it. Now i want a divorce. I would fail shit i just have a feeling i would. Don't want to hurt anyone elses damn quit. we'll see what happens

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.

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.

3 cans a day for 14,610 days (365 x 40 + 10 leap days) x $3 a can (my estimated, average cost of a can, factoring inflation).


$131,400

That is how much money you ha\/e gi\/en U.S. smokeless tobaccoo. Do not gi\/e those basterds another penny.

What the hell have they given you. Receiding gums; bad breath, yellow teeth, increased odds of oral caner, ect.

You have lived a life in which you are dependent on nicotine. It will not be easy to adjust. But it is possible. The first day is scary as hell. The next couple days are horrible. But around day five you start to get a feeling of freedom. Not being held hostage to the nicotine bitch.

And brother, the freedom is a great feeling. You need to dump that shit and post day one.

Oh come on man, don't get caught up in the number of years you have dipped. When it gets down to it, it doesn't really matter. That was one of the lies that the nic bitch whispered in my ear "You been dipping for 30 years, there is no way you can quit now". I kicked that excuse in the butt 109 days ago. Once I decided to quit, I quit. You can too!

I, just like everyone else on this site, gave my word that I would not use nicotine for 24 hours. I posted roll and made a promise to myself and to everyone on this site that I would stay quit for one day. We can do anything or not do anything for 24 hrs! Then we get up the next day and do it all again. We do this together, one day at a time.

Quitting is a choice, you either choose to dip or you don't, it' that simple!
I sincerly hope you make the right choice and join us!

For the past 30 yrs. I continuously had a dip in my lip from the time I woke up until I went to bed, except for at mealtime. Very few people would of ever suspected it, I hide it well! The deception and guilt is over...I'm one stubborn Chick that will never fall victim to the can again!

It's been over two days now since the esteemed Mr. Cope submitted his original post.

I would submit that this horse is dead. I suggest we stop beating it until it shows signs of life.

Just goes to show you have to want it. You can't convince someone to quit. No matter how much to defile their manhood online or scare them with cancer stories and jaw removal, if a man don't want it, he ain't going to quit.

Which leads me to the simplest, most solid advice that I have ever been given on this site:

Welcome to the battle.  Try to help as many as you can but remember you cannot make someone quit. 

Protect your quit at all costs.  Glad to have you with us...

Never again
Greg


That is reality right there.

65, and a pussy.

I find it extremely disrespectful to come in here and jerk off. All of these people have put so much attention into their quits and you ask for their attention. Because of the compassion in this forum, they have given it to you.

You throw it right back in their faces with this bullshit. Honestly, if you have been doing it for 50 years and you aren't ready to quit yet, you are all kinds of fucked. You should of man'd up a long time ago. Come back when you've found your balls, until then don't waste our time.

In this world, accountability is king. Not posting roll is setting you up for fail.

What if I just get to the point of "pre-gasm". Is that considered jerking off?
