I finally quit on November 28, 2017.
Started dipping over 14 years ago after joining the corps. I have gone through a can a day since. Never quit after getting out.
I was able to hide it from my wife for years. Now she is so over it she does not even bother asking me to quit anymore. I finally got tired of her being disappointed and disgusted when I dipped. Plus I have three little ones that I want to be alive for and see grow up.
So thankful I found this place. The first 4 days have been hell. My family has been supportive but it is nice to jump on here to read everyones stories and accomplishments when I get that craving.

What is up Weitas!?
Congrats on day 4 bud! That was easily the worst day for me by far. I am glad to see you are ready to quit, trust me, this forum is one of the best things to ever happen to me. Here is the link to your quit group MARCH 18 QUIT GROUP (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/30404396/46/#new). Everyday we wake up, go to our quit group and post roll, which simply means we put our name and promise not to use nicotine for the day. Here is the link on how to post roll, KTC POSTING ROLL VIDEO (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBoCAiiDNyg&t=107s). It takes all of 1 minute to each day, think you can handle that? Also, you are in the brunt of your quit, keep pushing forward and you will succeed! Here are some extra tips on what you may experience in the future QUITTING SYMPTOMS LINK (https://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/what-to-expect-when-you-quit-dipping/).
Last thing, please reach out to anyone on this website. We are all here for a reason and nobody will turn you away for looking for help. You may get some private messages with phone numbers from other quitters. You do not need to exchange phone numbers with anyone if you are not comfortable with it ( I wasn't at first, but now I have well over 40 quitters numbers). It is just another tool that you can use to build relationships and have in case of emergency situations.
I will reach out to you via PM and hope to see you on the roll call!

Welcome. Posting roll is the cost of admission here. ItÂ’s also your best chance at remaining quit.
Proud to quit with you.

Weitas,
Welcome to the group.
The main way to be successful is to just decide that you have quit. Once you stop the negotiating in your head as to whether you will do one more or not the rest becomes far more simple.
Next, you will learn to distract your attention from your desire for a dip to anything else that interests you. This ability to change your focus will guarantee your success and make your quit that much easier.
When you place a dip in your mouth, your brain releases sugars. Well, those sugars are now going to be gone.
However, you can replace them with OJ or other fruit juices with sugar. This will provide some comfort, especially in your initial quit days.
Make sure to exercise with weights and cardio when you feel that nagging tension in your muscles, you feel that rage, when you can not sleep and when you can not focus. Exercise really helps.
Here is one that most people overlook. Get at least 3 square meals a day. Hunger can really bring on those urges so squash those urges before they come. Eat full healthy meals and do not let yourself get excessively hungry. You will see this helps a great deal.
I waited until I was 59 quit after using tobacco for 40 years. You are wise to quit now.
I quit with you today.

Better to eat and snack than shove that shit in your mouth. You can lose weight much better than losing half your face. ODAAT is all it takes. Damn proud to be quit with you!
