Well,

Here I am. I've been working in Law Enforcement for 5 years. I've spent the marjoity on patrol and a quarter of a year working narcotics.

I started dipping about a year and a half ago under the stigma that all the guys who are here, and are "good cops", dip and HAVE been dipping for 15-20 years with no issues. I figured "Well shit, I might as well toss one in too, right?"

I've tried to quit probably 4-7 times in the past year, but going back saying "I don't NEED it, I just like dipping" or "I'll only do it while I'm at work."

I then have found myself using the excuse "I only dip because I'm training a rookie and it's stressful and I need to stay up".

I had started going through a log about every 3 days. It was out of control. I cut it down to about a can every two days, but decided I will not be bringing the habbit into the new year.

The hardest part about the quit is, all the guys I work with daily dip CONSTANTLY. It makes it an extremely hard quitting environment when partnered with the stress of the job and everyone doing it.

Definitely looking for someone I can share my plight with and can provide some support!
Im here for you brother. I've been a cop for 7 years. Before that I worked in a county jail for a little over 3 years. My whole law enforcement career I've chewed. Why? Well everyone chews at the PD. And if your gonna fit in with the guys you better get started. After 6 years pushing a black and white I've moved over to investigations. Talk about a difficult place to quit. But I am going through a health scare right now and I'm only 32 with a wife and 3 kids. Thought if I was going to go it would be in a blaze of glory not because of my health. Take it from me and stick with it. Im only on day 3 and I feel like crap. Everyone in the office is pissing me off and I was ready to headbutt the last suspect I had to interview. You have a brother in blue right here man.
That's excellent brother. Day 3 as well, right there with you trying not to get fired for saying something stupid 😂.
Start of day 4. Day 3 was a disaster all day and night, but here we are another day. Lets hope the brass finds something to do other than talk to me today.
Nice work guys. It wont be too much longer the fog will lift and you will begin to see things more clearly than ever. The mind games then take over. You guys CAN do this - pls PM me if you would like to exchange digits.

Don't let the bastard (nicotine) win again, you can beat it one day at a time
