Hi everyone! I'm new here. Almost done with day two, but still making thru by the hour. I'm from Indiana, 30 yrsd old. I'm four yrs sober, but going thru this process makes feel like day one for everything again! I used to dip/ smoke because I was drinking. I didn't give it all up at first because I heard quitting everything at once was to much. Looking forward to meet everyone!

Glad you are here Electra.
Here is some good steps and advice I copied from a badass quitter for you.
I am going to offer you some advice, from a fellow bad ass quitter, and links that should help you through some nasty days. this quitting addiction is not easy but it is possible.
1 - drink lots of water, it really helps flush your system and curb cravings
2 - find an alternative to dip that works for you: cinnamon candies, fake dip, lifesavers, sex...
3 - when you get a bad craving do something physical: run, walk, push ups, sit ups and complete that until the craving goes away
4 - with both of you quitting rage will be very hard to manage, both irritable, moody and some days just unbearable. get on here and go to chat and Mother Fuck some poor unsuspecting jackass, because the odds are that you will never meet that jackass...just might save your marriage or court costs
5 - read other stories on here too, Kern is one of my personal favorites as well but there are many other examples that will pull at your heart strings
6 - use this Spousal Support (http://www.killthecan.org/community/spousal-support/) information for both you and your husband to open your eyes to what is going on
7 - this will help you identify the Symptoms of Quitting Dip Chew (http://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/symptoms-of-quitting-dip-chew/)
8 - What to expect when you quit dipping (http://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/what-to-expect-when-you-quit-dipping/)
9 - trade phone numbers with other quitters and maybe use your husband too and find a way to promise one another daily in the process
10. - And so you see that you are a minority but certainly not alone Women and smokeless tobacco use (http://www.killthecan.org/facts-figures/women-and-smokeless-tobacco-use/)
P.S. all of the underlined and bold words are links to the KTC webpage or the forum.

Welcome Electra! I somehow started with tea bags because I couldn't find fake chew...finally found the fake chew smokey mountain wintergreen I like it because it's similar to grizzly wintergreen and the regular smokey mountain tastes like cope. I'm day 190 right now! And damn proud I've got a long way to go! The rest of my life! I wish u lots of luck and if you need anything don't hesitate to message me or anyone in your group. I'm glad to be quit with u today!!

Welcome to the brotherhood! It is going to be a long crazy ride but all of us in the BROTHERHOOD are behind you 100%.
Make that promise to not pick that can up ever again, you will want to, but don't give in to the Nic Bitch. She will whisper sweet nothings in your ear to get you to re-commit to her, I now she is sexy to look, she is a 10 right now, but like the saying goes, I went to bed at 2 with a 10 and woke up at 10 with a 2. That's what she will look like after some time a 2, then she will just disgust you to look at her. Hang in there we are all here for you! 'bang head'
