A big "hello" to my fellow quitters! Who knew being a quitter could be cool. A little about my self now that I'm Dip free for almost a month (29 days). I started dipping later than most in my mid-30's. At 57, I've tried quitting more times than I can remember. The majority of my previous half-assed tries were because my wife wanted me too. I wasn't ready to make the full committment needed to stop. After living a continual lie to my wife that I had stopped, only to sneak it every chance I could, risking my marriage and yes, getting caught in my lies over and over. Risking my marriage not because I was dipping and suffered the addiction we all have, no because I continually lied to her about quitting. I guess I finally had a V8 moment 29 days ago, slapped myself and realized it was my time to quit. That's when I knew I would need all the help I could get. I did some online searching for help and thats how I found this group! I have tried numerous things in the past. I stayed away from dip the longest by sucking on Nicorette lozenges....guess what...same thing...injesting nicotine through your mouth into your bloodstream. I know we all have to do what works for us but for me I've tried most of the replacement therapy without success. This time I went cold turkey!...an occassional mad chew of some gum when the cravings got too crazy. The first 3 days sucked ass!!! In the past, substitution for the oral fixation has led me back to the nic bitch. I've caved in past years using evey excuse I see listed in the forums here. Bottom line, I like posting Roll everyday, making myself accountable to all of you, my new friends. I've learned that until you are ready to quit for yourself and your own reasons, you won't be strong enough to do it. Hell, there are times through the day now after 29 days that I get the crave, but I will not cave!!!! I'm here with all you Duck Fips....quitting a day at a time!! I started a hour at a time, a day at a time, a week, now I'm going to measure by months, then years!!!......Sneakydipper no more!

Nice to see an intro from you and welcome to KTC. Glad you got 29 days on it already. One word of advice, even the folks with 1,000's of days, still measure one day at a time. I would suggest the same to you.

Thanks for the advice...I actually do take it a day at a time, I guess the weeks, months, and years are goals I'd like to achieve as I take it a day at a time.

Every time I read about this sneaky dipping it amazes me. I can't believe everyone that hid it from their wives and family. I just don't understand it.
I was totally opposite my friend. I was the one walking around with a tin ring in the back of my pants. Just got rid of the last pair a couple weeks ago. I was the one with the cup in his hand during the movie, during class, during whenever and wherever I could carry it. I was the one that spit the poison out at the red light, kids and wife in the car. I was the one walking on the beach spitting in the sand and covering with more sand. Yea, If you ever were building a sand castle and noticed the slime,,, it could have been me.
I was so proud of my addiction I wanted the world to know. What a effin idiot! You know,, for being so different we had so much in common. I quit with you today my friend.

Today we hed to Northwestern, NJ (I looked it up that’s not a town) to pick up one SneakyDipper. Well we wont go into how all this got started for Sneaky but he started dipping at 32 years old. 25 years later he is quit and is posting 100 days today. Sneaky is married with 2 step-sons and sells fences for a living and drives a Ford Escape these days. Loves to work around the house and watch the Yankees. When looking at the people that helped him in his quit he said this, “Not one person, the whole site as a whole has made me accountable for my goal. Strange how it is harder to cheat on total strangers on a website than people around you.” Seeing all the people on the website posting days and staying quit is what inspires Sneaky. He also wants you to all know that if his eyes start to wander behind that cashier at the 7-11 at the cans of death that you have the right to drop kick his ass right there.
Nice work SneakyDipper on posting 100 days quit.
