I recently decided to quit dipping after 25 years of it,mainly out of fear for health consequences.I think that I should also mention that I quit alcohol 22 years ago and am an active member of a 12step program.
The similarities to quitting alcohol and dip are surprising to me,what you guys are doing here on this site is right on the money.Getting guys to fellowship and to be a part of a group is very smart.
One day at a time I don't dip,life by the inch is a cinch....life by the yard is hard.
I believe the problem will be removed,I won't even think about it after a certain number of weeks if I do what I am supposed to do.
I don't know if it's appropriate to post here,but anyhow....I will ask for help in the morning when I have a quiet time,and say thank you at night when I retire.

Welcome ChicagoSteve. I'm was actively addicted to nicotine for 16 years. I am still an addict of nicotine but have chosen to abstain from using it for 333 consecutive days thanks to KTC and the fine quitters here that I consider friends and family. I'm from Chicago (River North); currently on the west side in Berwyn.
Start at the Welcome Center (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showforum=13) and read those seven items. Quitting is difficult but immersing yourself in the KTC Kool-Aid and getting to know the people that make up this place not only makes it possible, but enjoyable.
Please send me PM if you need anything.

Welcome Steve, all the best to you headed down this road for sure!
-
Welcome to KTC Steve, you've found the right place. I can tell you that everyone here has really strengthened my resolve to stay quit. Just like a 12 step, hearing all the stories and fears that ring true in all of us lets you know YOU ARE NOT ALONE in this.

welcome chicago.. I too am a non drinker. just passed 9 years. addiction is one in the same, however this is different for us. when some guys get stressed they can simply drink, we don't have that option.. just post everyday like your life depended on it. it's worked for me, and i tried everything else.. pm if you need anything..peace

Well it's clear you know how to quit..... and yes it is very similar to quitting alcohol ( i assume ). Chew is the only addiction that I have ever quit, but I believe the "laws of addiction" apply in all addictions. You already know it will be hard but it IS manageable! I am glad you are committing to this freedom!

Dive in! We are here for you with any help we can offer.

Welcome aboard ChicagoSteve. I noticed that you have not posted roll in the December 2013 quit group yet. You will need to post Roll. Roll is your daily promise to yourself and all of your new brothers and sisters that you will not use tobacco in any form that day. You will post your name and the number of days you are quit each day in the December 2013 quit group. Each and every day you will post your promise. No exceptions. That is the price of admission to KTC. Nothing more and nothing less. Now that you know the basics, it is time to read all you can on this site. Go to the welcome center that Evil Won cited for you below and that will get you started. Post roll and look up at your inbox (1). That is a personal message from me with my telephone number. Wayne

I didn't know this site was total abstinence from all tobacco,I am not ready to do that I enjoy my meerschaum pipes and a pinch of nasal snuff everyday.I only want to quit chewing as I fear the cancer from it.I'll take the risk of moderate pipe smoking and nasal snuff use.
Good Luck to all you guys!
Cheers,Steve

You must beat the nicoteen addiction, otherwise your never going to quit. You are a slave to nicoteen not to chew.

Steve, Are you a fucking retard? How can you try to quit one part of an addiction? Its just not possible. If you quit one part, you're bound to increase in another part. Its common sense. I'm only 29 and I know that.

Of course you do. It's because you are an addict. Just like myself!

That's awesome.
Man, I wish I knew that I could have quit without quitting....that would have been so much easier.
Freak...it's too late now.

You've been chewing for 25 years and think it's wise to still smoke and snort tobacco?
No, good luck to YOU.

I'm glad you came to the site Steve. Now, if you don't mind i would like to talk to your master for a minute. If you do, that's tough, it's apparent your not in control of your life..
I hate you poison. I'm so glad your out of my life. I hope my friend Steve here sees you for what you are before it's to late. I hope one day he realizes that you do nothing for him but take. I hope he gets tired of you taking his money, freedom and integrity while causing him to question his dignity. I hope he sees that eventually he could lose his tongue, jaw, lung and even his life. I hope he gets tired of loving you more than his wife, kids, family and himself.
I'm done Steve,, as you were...

Probably beating a dead horse in this thread because apparently Steve was not read to "quit" nicotine.
From Webster's for anyone who really wants it:
Dictionary definition of the word Quit:
released from obligation, charge, or penalty; especially : free
Related words:
delivered, freed, liberated, released; unhampered, unimpeded
Near Antonyms or the opposite of quit:
encumbered, handicapped, hindered, hobbled
Carry on 'archer'

Damn quit without quitting........that reminds me of that Bruce Lee movie where he does the art of fighting without fighting HAHAHAHA

Let me get this straightÂ…you want to quit chewingÂ…and would like our helpÂ… but yet you want to continue smoking a pipe and snorting snus every day? What the fuck am I missing here? Looks to me like jacking off the dogÂ…donÂ’t do me or you a damn bit of good. This thread is a friggin classic and needs to be preserved in a Hall of Fame of Unconscionable Assholes.

I just insert the tobacco directly into my anus.
What? Is that problematic on this site?
Yeah, seriously, we don't do nicotine here, Steve. The delivery system is not the problem. You are addicted to nicotine. Think about it. In your 12-step booze program, do you still get to drink whiskey, as long as you stay away from beer? Are you allowed to inject alcohol up your ass? No. Because alcohol is the problem. Not wine.
If you decide to get serious about this particular addiction, we'll be here to help.

Clearly ChicagoSteve don't patronize me. I am sure your quit is serious, but how many of us aren't? Be quit and post roll every damn day. There no need to show boat with cutesy words.
There are other ways of releasing steam. If you want to be hubris, go for it, but don't get defensive when people call you out. Steve isn't ready to quit yet.
But cancer from chewing isn't any easier to develop or any worse than any other type of cancer. Cancer is cancer... You continue using tobacco in any form, you hold a 50/50 chance of getting cancer.
I am currently enjoying my freedom. As well as enjoying having more money in the bank.
The best part is not feeling like a prisoner every time I get a craving. I kick the craving in the teeth and drive on.
The military has a saying "drink water, drive on!". Just be quit... no craving is worth throwing away hard work!
Would you get yourself fired from work because you felt the need to punch your boss or a coworker? Probably not... so why would you continue using or alow yourself to cave into nicotine?

Steve, are you a fucking retard?
Couldn't be put into words any better....

Bunch of keyboard cowboys. Way to chase him away.
Seriously. This might be one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

Was a joke. I was accused of being a "keyboard cowboy" and chasing newbies away earlier today.
I guess I can't assume everyone knows what my dumb ass is joking about.
This guys a gutless ass hat who has no concept of quit or addiction.
Of course nobody chased him away. Poor form by me.
Apologies.
