I had found this site today and decided to register and start this challenge. I am 25 and have been dipping since I was about 18 and able to buy it. I remember telling kids in High School how gross it is, now I see why they sat in class with a big dip in. That sounds like a good time actually.
Any who, the closest I got to eliminating this habit was in 2009 and I did not dip for about 3 months. I felt better about myself and my attitude towards everyday life was clearer and positive. Hell, I even felt 10X better after day 3. I exercised instead, the distraction helped and I also had support from my roommate who dipped every now and then. I bought seeds, gum, fake shit, lozenges ect ect. I remember after those few months, simply out of boredom I bought a tin and convinced myself that I would take one dip and toss the rest. I remember shaking as I am tearing that can open, popping that top and smelling that wintergreen. The scent was not as appealing to me as it once was but damn it tasted good. I obviously chewed the entire can in two days and was hooked once again.
It's simply time to quit. I have hidden this habit from nearly everyone I have met from Family, Friends, Girlfriends ect. I dated a girl for over a year and she still had no idea what I was up to. I could sit through a 2 hour movie with her and still dip without getting caught. Like someone else said in a post, "It's time to grow up". I do not want to be dependent on something so ridiculous. I witness to many people tied down to nicotine on a daily basis and I am simply not going to let that happen to me anymore.
It's almost 7pm and I am yet to go and buy a tin today which is huge for me, escpecially when I can see the gas station from my window. I have been chewing gum like a mad man today and quite sluggish. I hope I can find the support here that I need and will do my best to help others.
Day 1

You will find the support you need, but it's up to you what you do with it. Supporting others is the best way to support yourself. It starts with posting roll. Click on the pink 'welcome center' link at the top of the page.
Welcome.

It's not a fucking habit and you didn't quit for 3 months!!!!! It's an ADDICTION and you took a short break from nicotine (and you didn't even do that if you were using nic lozenges). Post roll like Smokes said!

I said that for 40 fucking years and also kept it hid from everyone!
Accept the help and offer help! The more active you are the better your chances of success are! A half assed attempt won't cut it! You will fade away and be sucking on that juicy cunt again in no time! And you will say "it tastes sooo good" again.
-
sounds good, you know what sounds even better? what smokeyg said - go back and read that post and do what the man says.

You better grab your balls and go at this full speed. Like WT said a half ass effort won't cut it. You get bored one day, don't go to the can thinking it will taste "soooooo good". Apple fucking pie tastes better. Stick that in your cake hole next time you're bored.
I'm here to support you. Anything you need, hit me up with a pm or flip me your digits. Everyone on this site will support you but ultimately you will have to do the heavy lifting. We will just spot you.
You got this shit. Jump in head first, go at it like your fucking Dick is on fire. Dont half ass this .

Well Day 2 fucking sucked but I got through it. Very pissy and on edge this morning but by the afternoon I was feeling great and had tons of energy. Thanks for the support so far. Day 3 has started.

You're right on track...

Just use this one. Everyone gets one intro to use as a journal to use during their quit. I saved a shortcut to mine on my browser to avoid having to search back to find my original post each time.

Looks like you got it figured out! Roll looks good and this is your into, well on its way. Hope I didn't come off to harsh earlier.

Well day 4 is coming to a halt and if this was a week ago, I'd prolly go through an entire tin after today. This lovely Midwest weather blows for one! It's seriously 17 below zero right now. Left for work to find my tire almost flat. Creeped to the gas station to air it up, but nooo the air hose is frozen. I simply changed to my spare right there, and then went inside the station to warm up. Grabbed a coffee, said fuck you to the tins of griz green staring at me as I payed and took the slow lane to work. Was 40 minutes late. Got bitched at but it was a good test for me overall. In the shittiest situations where I would find myself leaning on that tin for support, I was able to beat it while being 4 days in. Hell yeah! Feeling proud

Awesome job man. Keep on celebrating those victories. Each one makes your quit stronger and stronger.

Went to a friends house yesterday to hang and sitting on his coffee table is a can of dip, and he doesn't even do that shit, he prefers the cigarettes. He said he just bought it for work and I just stared at it. It was all I could think about. Especially relaxing on a couch watching TV with a can in sight.
I got up and threw that shit in his bedroom. Told him about this site and about roll and how I was a few days in already. That was the biggest test so far for me. I just think, why start the count over? Screw that. Plus I see the people getting torn new ones for caving after days, months, years on here. I don't want to deal with that bullshit. Proud to say I kicked Day 4's ass. Day 5 is here and it will be a nic free day.

Well done, my brother. Takes a man with balls to do some shit like that. Keep up the great work.
