I quit 30 days ago (on my birthday).
I had been dipping or chewing various brands and types of smokeless for 28 years. That number sure looks big to me when I type it out. From day one, I figured it would be a short-term thing and I'd be quitting soon. After all, I wasn't a smoker or druggie or anything. Hell, except for a very small group of friends, no one else in my life even knew I dipped at all. I was a master of deception.
I just remembered that I had looked at this site a while back and thought I'd check it out. Well, after reading some stories today, I decided to signup, post roll (which I just did), and post an Intro.
I will never use nicotine in any form ever again. I have to get back to work, but I'll write more later. Glad to be a part of this group.

Chunk,
Great job on quitting 30 days on your own. I was late to the party too. However, you have found the right place--this site saved my quit! Read everything here and post roll every day.
Pm me if you need anything

Welcome aboard Chunk! Wise decision to quit nicotine, it can be done!We quit one day at a time here, post roll and make a promise not to use today, and then repeat next day! Proven method. Proud to be quit with you. nicofiend

Thanks to all here for the welcoming words.
After reading many stories here, I don't think I quit the recommended way. I had a date set (my birthday) for months in advance. All I could think about as the date approached was, "How in the hell am I going to do this? I literally schedule my life around my secret dipping addiction."
I guess I had been telling myself the date for so long, that a weird sensation came over me on my birthday; it was a Monday and I had to work so on my way to work (when i would usually have my first dip of the day in the car), I stopped to get gas, threw away my can (and all the empties that seem to accumulate so quickly) and never looked back.
I'd be lying if I said I don't think about it all the time. It's MUCH better than at first, however. It was mostly that feeling you get like "sweet, when I drive to the store, I'll be able to dip!" Or "Can't wait until everyone's asleep tonight so I can dip."
Those thoughts would automatically pop into my head and I'd have to remind myself "hey, you don't do that anymore, remember??"
Anyway, October will kick ass and I can't wait to give my speech!
It's gonna be a good life.

Cunkles, congrats on your quit. I can match you excuse for excuse. "I need to take the dog out, I'm gonna take a walk, I need to run to the store, I need to fill up the car with gas, can I run to the grocery store and pick something up for you? All excuses to load up and dip. never dipped on the bench (I'm a judge) but did in chambers all the time. The crave is abating day by day.
