What's up. My name is Alex, im located in the Cincinnati area. At this very moment I am banging my head on my desk shoving sunflower seed after sunflower seed into my mouth.
Its sad.
How did I get here? A friend of mine turned me on to Grizzly Wintergreen about 4 years ago when we we're playing paintball. I remember running through the woods and getting hit by a giant buzz and i tripped and fell over my own feet into a mud puddle.
I was disgusted by that first dip, and i felt like shit. But I gave it a few more tries and eventually I enjoyed doing it, and peer pressure really did get me hooked. It was a great buzz, and made life easier.
As most of you know, dipping is not exactly a turn-on for the ladies. I have hidden my disgusting habit from my gf. She, literally, has no idea that i'm hooked on this garbage. Tobacco is a reason i lie to my girlfriend, who is the greatest person in the world. I'm a terrible person, I know... and I plan on telling her.
Here are my plans:
One day at a time. Today, I finished off my (hopefully) last tin. I went and purchased bags and bags of sunflower seeds. Tell the girlfriend that I've been lying to her, and that I have a tobacco addiction that I'm working on getting over. Tomorrow morning I will most likely purchase the gum. I'm in school and that sudden nicotine-less euphoria might cause me to blow my brains out. 'Remshot'
Im glad I stumbled on this community, I hope you guys will be able to lend some good advice to kicking this fucking habit. 'crackup'

I quit the griz 12 days ago. If you want this then you have to do it. My 2 problems with your post. 1) We don't "hopefully" finish our last tin. Your only fucking option here is to quit! 2) you aren't addicted to dip, you are addicted to nicotine! Why would you quit dip only to buy the gum? Just quit man!

Frst off man welcome to ktc. Going from dip the the nic gum does not work. Take it from me man. I have tried the gu.patches. couchdrops,cigs, cigars all of it.
All you are doing is changing the form of the diaper if you know what I mean.
COLD TURKEY is the way to go man. I hope you decide to chew some bubble gum and post day 1 in the March group.

Thats not sad. Thats great. I didn't even think about quitting dipping until over a decade after I started. You have acknowledged that dipping is retarded and it will kill you. That is a good thing. Stay with this site, post roll and everytime you think about dipping...log on and read shit (everything). Its worked for me.
-
Welp, I havent purchased the gum yet. I'm guessing I didn't have all the facts, the way I look at it now it seems like a terrible idea.
Its been about 24 hours, im sitting in class this morning... and it sucks. I told my girlfriend last night that I have a dipping problem, and that was an adventure.

Alex, mike is right, you don't have a problem. You know why else you will not touch that crap? I am in the area and I will come kick your ass on a hourly basis if I have to. There is absolutley no reason whatsoever to use that crap again.
Sending you my number, you will do this.

I think i've reached maximum capacity in that area. They dont make pants big enough for this package.
Just made it through my first class, I have to say it hasn't been half as bad as I thought it was going to be. I stopped in a gas station to get some gum (not nicorrette, stride) and fill up. Managed to do so without spending my $5 on two tins of grizz mint. After all, I quit that shit... I want my teeth, and my pee pee not to shrink.
I'm finding it difficult to pay attention.. and reading is difficult. Hands are clammy, and I feel warm all the time. Other than that, its been an easy ride.

that is complete bullshit. Max capacity is not 5". There is at least another 1/2" you can get.
Drink a ton of water and do your best to concentrate. It may be tough for the first week but it will get better every day.
-
This might sound silly, and maybe not valid since its coming from THE addict.
But this seems like an easy quit. I have "the fog" but thats really it. I find difficulty concentrating, but other than that... its better than I expected. 24 hours down B)

Enjoy the easy days... get some rest and read. There will be good and bad mixed together. Stay focused on your goal, staying NIC free.

Day 2/3ish
Still feeling good. Maybe I was made for quitting? Still a little foggy, but no big thing.... beats cancer.

Keep your guard up because you never know when the bad craves will hit you. congrats on deciding to quit but don't take it easy yet the first three days didn't suck that bad for me it was when I hit the two week mark that it really hit me.

I agree with bigduke, it wasn't the first few days for me, it was the 2-3 week mark. That was the real bitch. I was a real asshole and craved pretty hard during that time.
Don't get over excited that things are going better than expected. Keep your wits about you. You never know when the bitch is gunna sneak up on you. And when she does, and she will, it won't be pretty.

Like I said. The good days come and go. If you are having a good one enjoy it. You will find more balance as you get deeper into your quit. Eventually all the days will be good ones, but you have some bills to pay first.
Good job using the tools of the site. Keep fighting..... it is worth it.

Ditto for me. The first three days weren't so bad. I had a battle around 2 weeks in and another one around 60 days. You never know when it'll hit, but it will eventually. Be ready for it!! I've quit before for 8 months and then lost it. That was before I found this site and will not happen again!! It helps to keep busy. Get neck-deep in some other favorite activity (call that girlfriend over?) to keep your mind off the shit. My opinions on what will make it work:
1. Read all you can on this site: stories, HOFs...everything.
2. Post roll regularly so folks will know when you need help and pester the shit out of you if you're late. We'll be looking for you.
3. Get some numbers to call/text in the tough times.
4. Always be ready for that sneak attack.
5. Realize that YOU are in a battle, even when you're having easy times.
6. Decide that YOU are going to win that battle - we'll help each other.
-
You got a great quit going here...that's what that is. Congrats and stay strong brother. You can do it.
-
I'm still quit!!!
I havent been around very much due to blowing my knee out :/
-
I'm a previous quitter (I shouldn't say that, i'm not worthy of the title). I had a relapse about a month ago. I couldn't believe it. My mind came up with a resolution that I would chew and it would be a one time thing, and like having a drink it would be fine.
All of the hard work I put into quitting was gone. Out the fucking door.
So here's to starting over. Its gonna be a rough few days, but i've done it before and I know its possible. The hundreds of testimonials are my inspiration.
So here's a little information about myself. I'm a web developer located in Cincinnati, this region seems to be the dip capital of the world. My triggers include driving, and coding. I throw in a pouch or drool all over myself when I do either of these. Its sad, I know.
Truth be told, i'm tired of being controlled by this drug and i'm tired from hiding it from people that find it disgusting. Most of you will most likely find me in the chat, hearing from you guys keeps my guard up and motivates me to keep moving forward in a dip-free life.
-
Well.....sounds like you learned your lesson about the "one dip" thing! I did that many times before finding this site.
We are all addicts to Nic. There is no such thing as "one last dip". one dip turns into one can turns into I'll quit next week.
Just keep that in mind when you find the addict talking in your head again telling you its ok cuz you can handle one pinch!!!
Proud to be quit with you today!

What is different this time?
Why did you cave?
-
Honestly, I don't know why I caved. I was out doing some fishing and was offered some chew. I guess my mind convinced itself that if I did it one time, it would be alright. The symptoms were back, like I never even got rid of them.
What is different this time, is I need to stick around these forums and take in some of the logic versus my own thought process. I am an addict, and the things running through my head aren't necessarily right.

Thank you.
Noticed your a marathon runner that dips. We are in the same boat on that one. At one point in my life I was doing triathlons and dipping while on the bike. Ultimate hypocracy. Also Kiawah is a beautiful island, we venture there every summer. I enjoyed your speech.
