Greetings. I am 39, married, and have two young children. I am a partner in a large midwestern law firm, practicing in mostly bankruptcy and commercial litigation matters. I am on several community foundation and charitable boards. I am actively involved in the local bar association and several professional groups. I am an usher at my church. And, .... I am addicted to nicotine. Only about 20 people know this about me. I am really good at hiding my shameful little secret. I had my first "D" when I was 12. Started out with Cope, dipping with my friends to be cool. Took 4 years off in college to smoke because I was getting sores in my mouth. Got tired of coughing, and I like to run, so I went back to D, this time using Skoal Longcut WG as my delivery agent of choice. Other than a 1 month period in 1998, I have been a slave every day since then up until 9:16 PM CST on Thursday, May 26, 2011. My best friend and mistress up until this time was Wolf Green. No more. It must end and, with the Lord's strength and grace, my own sense of determination and perseverance and the help of this community, it will. No more grains of D in my keyboard, car and everywhere else in between. No more having my 3 year old come out on the porch while I'm having a D and imitating me spit into the bushes. No more bad breath and stained teeth. No more colleagues coming into my office and asking "what smells," and me playing dumb. No more spitters. No more brown stains on my fingertips. No more educating 1 out of 3 convenience store clerks where my brand of D is located in the racks. No more panic attacks when I realize I am down to 1/4th of a can and I'm not sure how I am going to find a reload. No more breaks during court hearings, sneaking into the bathroom stall to have a quickie. No more getting chewed out (understandably) by my wife for leaving my can out where the dog or the 3 year old can get it. No more. I want to be free. I have been lurking here for the past 3 months, planning my quit in detail. It finally became clear to me 3 months ago in the hospital as my brand new son was born that dip constitutes a direct threat to everything I care about on this Earth. Day 1 of the rest of my life begins tomorrow. I will post for the first time in my new quit group and give my word to my fellow quit brothers that today, I will not have a D no matter how bad I want one, no matter how bad the "suck" is killing me, no matter what, period. Thank you for your time and God Bless You.

Well done, proud to be quitting with you today

Welcome JT. I too am a "professional"....and what we call on this site, a nija dipper. I dipped for 25 years and boy could I hide it. I feel very very ashamed about this. Well, the good news is I quit today for the 168th day in a row. I will quit with you today. Feel free to PM me if you wish. I understand.

Welcome - you're in the right place. I was raised in the Midwest (farmboy), wife 2 kids- and have 20 years habit under my belt - not proud of that. I'm only 6 days in, but know that the support from these guys is legit will get me through, 1 day at a time.

Welcome JT. I too am a "professional"....(ONE, TWO, SKIP A FEW), a nija dipper. (LA, LA, LA, LA...CLIPPED.)
Nija...oooh, that sounds fancy Scowick.

Our stories are similar:
-I am 36 year old Christian, a Director of Operations for a Fortune 20 company, with a 3 year old and wonderful wife. Plus I have been a slave to nictine in the form of dip for over 20 years.
So glad to have you here!
This place can have some salty language. However, the guys here are comitted to their quit and to your quit. The accountability here has been key to my minor success thus far.
Will be praying for you as you begin your quit. PM if you need to chat.
Brant - Day 26.
