Hey guys (and gals?), my name is Kirk and I am from central Arkansas. I started chewing Redman as a freshman in college until I was low on student loan funds one day. I had a buddy who worked for US Smokeless and said "just go grab a roll from my truck" and that was 10 years ago. I dipped pretty much continuously since that time, but now I'm ready to quit. I am recently married and my wife thinks it's disgusting and I'm tired of spending money on it honestly! I haven't had a dip since yesterday morning at around 8 am and am trying to be nice to the people I work around, haha! I have a pretty laid back, fun-going personality so I'm trying to make this as light hearted as possible (to keep my sanity). I know this is gonna suck, as it already does, BUT, it's time and it will be done. Look forward to the feedback and getting to know ya'll.

Welcome aboard Hoss... Day 9 here. Chewed for 20+ years. It sounds WAY too simple to work but trust me...post roll here every morning and by some freaking miracle when you want a dip, you wont take one....pretty fucked up but affective. We all quit with you today brother.

Welcome Woopig,
Why are you wanting to quit? You have to quit for you all the other externals can be used for motivators but they are short lived. You have to quit for you, you have to want it, you have develop a hatred for tobacco/nicotine. The same chemical that has made you a slave for years. You like me are an addict you will always be an addict. My suggestion is to listen learn read read read everything you can on this site and keep it close. You will also need to post to roll if you have not already done so. Post roll give us your word repeat every damn day.
PM me if you need anything embrace the suck.

Great choice man. Sadly it sounds all to close to my story. "I'll quit when I get married. I quit when I have a baby. I'll quit when I have a second baby." That was me 4 years ago after 8 years of dipping. I ended up being a ninja dipper and it killed me to lie to my family and my wife! I almost got a divorce over that little tin.
You made a great choice. Chose to quit each day, before you get out of bed. I'll quit with you man! (Just not in the same bed!)

Glad you found us. Post roll everyday and focus on 1 day at a time. It can be done.

Where o Where is the Woo Pig?? To early in your quit to be posting late my friend!! _

Hey! I am here dip free! I have been keeping myself extremely busy...running, mowing, etc to keep my mind off it. I was really foggy yesterday, couldn't focus on work or anything really. I have been reading a lot of different posts trying to get familiar with how to post. Seems like there should be an easier way (I'm technology challenged). Today is day 3 I can tell my mood is slightly better today, hopin that improved quickly because I've been practically avoiding my wife so I don't bitch at her. Thankfully she understands is very supportive. Quick an rambling update but gotta get back to work.

Guys, I played nic-free golf for the first time in probably 11 years! Surprisingly, I didn't crave it the entire time like I thought I would. Doing well smiling wide on the beginning of day 4!

See nicotine did nothing for you...you can still do all what you did before without her...keep up the good work...I stayed away from every trigger I had in the beginning.

Nice work Pig!! And just think: at this point you have NO nicotine in your system!! Your body is now free of a poison that is three times more toxic than arsenic. You're no longer killing yourself! That freedom is great, fog and all. Really, I've found in the first 2 weeks of my quit that, although I'll experience some random strong cravings, the activities that I enjoyed while chewing (golfing, farming, driving) are much more enjoyable when I'm not worried about spitting, I'm not worried about supply, and I'm not chain-dipping. Embrace the freedom Pig; your mind is now beginning to function in an oxygen-rich environment.

I love the fact that you are offering your digits. Way to go! I eddited them out of the public thread. Shoot a private message (PM) and share them. We get some trolls here from time to time. They don't need your digits.
Quit on.

1st time I played a Nic free round I played terrible...blamed the lack of chew. Then I realized I just suck at golf chewing has nothing to do with it! Keep it going Pig

Woopig--how you feeling? Hang in there

I'm doing a lot better than I was at noon today. Always dipped at work during lunch today was horrible for some reason. I couldn't get the thought out of my head so I went for a 3 mile walk in my khakis polo lol. It wasn't perfect, but walked til the craving passed. Ready to be on day 5!

Great job.. drinking a whole gallon of water or anything to the point where you cant move seems to help me. Stay strong, it'll get a little easier soon, not much, but easier!

Awesome job! Remember, most craves last no longer than 3-5 minutes. You can endure almost anything for that long and you've certainly proved you can resist dip for that long!

Hey Grizz, sorry I'm just getting back to ya! I had a pretty good weekend, but today was an 80 year old ex-librarian kind of a bitch day. Just got done running and I feel much better. About to cook some supper watch the SEC put a whoopin on the pac12! How you holding up?
