I just joined this site to seek help with quitting dip once and for all. I am 30 years old and have dipped for the better part of 15 years. I have quit for pretty long stretches in the past, but I continue to fall back into the nasty habbit. I quit for close to a year back in 2010, but have been back at it now consistently for a year and a half. I have tried all the usual quitting methods on multiple occasions and I haven't been able to stop for good. I will say that I am done and then will be out with friends, see someone else chewing and I rationalize having "just one more." I realize now that I need support from others who have gone through the same challenges.
I have gotten to the point where I am hidding dipping from my wife - on the golf course, on work trips, etc. We are expecting our first child in mid-October and I know I can't contnue on this path or it will only mean bad things for my family and myself.
I think a lot about if quitting now is already too late...have I done this garbage too many times in my life where I have something that I just don't know about yet? Obviously this is no way to go through life.
I really admire all of you already on this site who have quit and look to help others. My goal is to do the same as I give up this habbit for good.
Thanks and all the best to you out there!

Tribe - welcome aboard. If you are serious about quitting then this is the place to be. You are expected to post roll EVERYDAY in DEC 2012 group. Reach out for some numbers in your group - they are your quit brothers and will be with you right down the line. No doubt some vets will likely send you their number to back you up. That's how it works here. On this site, there is no trying - it is do or do not. Accountability is the key. If you are a man of your word then you should do just fine. You either quit or you fail. Period. Which way you gonna go?

Tribe don't quit for good! We quit for today! You can do that, I like you have quit many times but always failed. Now I've been successful at quitting 149 times. Check your inbox I'll share my story and pm me to exchange #'s

One of the most important parts of a successful quit is understanding what you are trying to quit. Tribe - this is not a nasty habit. It is a drug addiction. You cannot have just one because you are addicted to nicotine. Your dependence on a drug is no different than a crack head or Meth addict. We beat down this nicotine addiction by not using it one day at a time. The longer you stay clean, the easier it gets. Never again. Not one.
