Howdy ya'll from Fort Worth, Texas
Was recommended to this site by a former dipper of a can a day Copenhagen.
Been a dipper since junior year of HS, almost 9 years ago. Went through a can (Skoal Straight) every two days, about 5 dips per day.
Mom is a dental hygienist and has been trying to get me to quit ever since she found out I dipped.
Today is Day 1, had my last dip at 8pm last night. Flushed the rest of the can down the toilet. Quitting cold turkey, no medications or nicotine alternatives.
Thank you for the site and support, what a great idea!

You are making the best decision of your young life to quit this shit right now. I was just a little younger than you when I STARTED! Good for you! Learn how to post roll, Post roll Everyday and make friends to weave a web of support and accountability. You can do this.

Great news, now here are a couple of things you need to do next...(the below underlined and bold words are links to the KTC site)
Learn how to Post Roll (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/1003072/1/#new)
Then, go post roll in PreHOF November 2014 Group (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/10423364/268/)
Then third, call your mom up and thank her; then call your friend and thank him. Both of them helped open your eyes, but you need to do this all for you. Explore the site, read the stories here, my favorites are the Kern Story and the Sean Marsee story. If all that shit doesn't help you stay quit then you are beyond help.
We are here to help, now let's do this.

Welcome man, and check out our Welcome Center (http://forum.killthecan.org/forum/55560/). It will tell you what we do here, why we do it, and how to do it. You are in the November 2014 group. This signifies when you will be 100 days quit. This isn't the day that you are "cured". It is simply a milestone.
Now, one big thing...we don't quit for life here. We make the decision to be quit, and then we keep making that decision to be quit. Post your promise once a day that you are quit, but act and decide to be quit every moment from here on out. Plan to be quit and you will be.
Drink tons of water, exercise, and watch the caffeine for the next few days. Mix it up here, and make some friends. You can do this because we are.

Ham lots of guys like you here.
Lots who are in TX
Lots who started in Highschool
Lots who are a little worried about the health implications
and Lots who dipped Skoal
I tell you all of this to let you know that this site has tens of thousands of quitters many like you have quit, and so can you. Post roll every day as soon as you wake up, then grind through the day and repeat the next day. It's really pretty simple. Good luck.

Switch to water if you can. If you've had 3 cups, you don't even have to worry about headaches or anything like that from caffeine.
Sleep tends to disappear in the first few days, and you won't need the extra stimulant. Trust me...switch to water.

Welcome to the November Stone Cold Quitters. I'm just a few days into my quit if you need any help pm me.

Water in mass quantities, if you can pass a urinal without having to release the beast near it you aren't drink enough.
Exercise helps eliminate cravings as well, I did pushups or burpees when I have a craving early on and it worked.
Find an alternative for dip, cinnamon candies, sunflower seeds, fake dip...whatever works. Word to the wise eating a whole bag of mint Lifesavers acts as a natural diauretic and you will be seated later in the day (personal experience).

thanks SDguyy, and congrats! keep it up!

Well that's officially 24 hours... Feeling kinds delirious, but okay... Very hungry, have eaten pretty good tonight and still hungry

Yup.
Do what you have to do. Shedding a couple pounds via exercise is way easier than shedding them via a saw to the face.
Water, and get some sleep tonight. Eat.

Welcome on your quit - you will be amazed how good you feel

Week and even better after a
Month

It's funny what your body will trick you into believing. Fact of the matter is dip didn't make you feel better, it made you feel worse. You will be amazed at how well you actually feel once all that stuff is out of your system. Keep working out, drown yourself in water. Don't worry about the sleep, or the fact that you probably won't be able to shit, or have normal shits for a while. Those will come back. Keep it up man, you are doing great. I sent you a PM with my number, if you ever need don't hesitate.

got it thanks Matty

slept better last night... had an observation.
growing up I was an early riser and full of energy early in the morning. like, hyper in the morning... so, I figured I would always be a morning bird (like my mom).
I'm on day 3 now. did anyone else notice a better feeling in the AM and even becoming a morning person?
