Hello Everyone, and thanks in advance for the motivation you have all already provided. I made a decision to fight my addiction last Friday, and today is Day 1. The cravings have been intense, and I am glad I stumbled upon this forum, because what I've been reading here has helped reinforce all the reasons I have for stopping my addiction. I was the worst kind of addict. I would lie to my wife, and make up excuses to dip. Tell my little kids I was chewing spit gum, and avoid going to the dentist for fear he would detect my deception. When I think of all the money I wasted over the past 15 years it makes me sick, and I cannot wait to get to know the rest of you whom I wisely decided to join in confronting my addiction. God Speed.~ Peter

Peter,
Welcome to the party. Spend some time reading other intros here and you will see you are pretty much the same addict as the rest of us. The things you did are pretty normal. The good news is you don't do that shit anymore.
Check your inbox (1 ). I am going to send you some things to read. Make sure you understand what we do here. Quitting is serious business and needs to be treated as such.

I once snatched a quickmart receipt from my wife's hand and ate it to hide the cope purchase. She thought I was being funny. It was gross but I choked it down. We're all addicts here and all have lived as addicts in one way or another. Welcome to the quit party bro. First few days suck. Reach out if you need.

That's pretty intense.

Welcome. You ain't the only former closet dipper here, and by that I don't mean we're trading it in for out in the open dipping.

former closet dipper here myself.

I was a closet addict for a few years until I just couldn't take it anymore, and my mom walked in my room and found me with a spitter. After that I was caught by my future mother in law who wasn't happy either... After that I stopped caring...which is probably worse.
Welcome to the quit. It will suck at first, but it will get better. The first few weeks are the worst, but it is well worth it. You will have to commit, grab your balls, and hold on for the first few weeks, but you'll make it.

I was a closed door dipper for awhile until I just stopped caring, which was way worse. What a jackass I must have looked like in the checkout line with a quarter tin of crap shoved in my lip.
Welcome and fight for this, its worth it.

Welcome Peter.
By now, you've seen that you've signed up with the toughest, meanest, most serious bunch of quitters you're ever likely to meet.
If you weren't committed to quitting, or had it in your mind that you're just going to give yourself a break from using - cut back for a while - you'd realize by now that you've made the very worst choice of company possible, and you're probably a little scared right now.
These people are committed to quitting with you every day for the rest of your life. If that's what you really want, I'm glad for you that you're now a full-fledged member of the cult of quit, with all the rights and obligations thereof. I'm quit with you.

Thanks for the support everyone. This is Day 2 for me, and besides for an empty feeling like I'm forgetting to do something. I feel pretty good. I haven't been to a dentist in probably 8 years, and the thought of having clean white teeth again is very inspirational, as is reading the post by all of you. I made a decision to quit w/o fake stuff, just trying to eat healthy and hydrate with water. Glad to be a part of this group, and already I sense a comradeship with all of you.

Welcome Pete, nice meeting you in chat.
I didn't use fake either. Stock up on seeds, gum, hard candies (atomic fireballs are the shiz) and lots of water.
Post up, read read read, and get involved. Most importantly, shout if you need anything.

Come on tarp, not in a dude's intro!

Damn Peter, I can absolutely relate to absolutely everything you said about the lies to kids, wife, money spent, etc. My oldest is about to turn 13 - that is when I started this damn habit. I can't look him in the eye anymore and continue acting like a hypocrite. Keep it going bro.

He is lucky to have your guidance on the matter. I read your intro as well, and you and I have a lot in common.
I keep reading about all you guys putting "pinches" in. LMAO, I got 4-5 dips per can, and I would not pack a pinch, I would pack a beastie!

UPDATE
DAY 10: The feeling of forgetting something has subsided. Productivity is up, and I am $80 richer. Life is good, wish I had the balls to begin my quit a long time ago. Thanks for welcoming me to the fucking club, I like it here.
