Hello, i just found this site and spent the last hour reading before i registered. i've been dipping for 10 years now and been thinking about quitting for about the last 3 months. i planned on quitting when i turn 30 in november, my question is, is this normal to set a quitting date? after reading these stories on here i wanna quit now! about 3 years ago a dip friend talked me into jumping on his bandwagon and quitting, i went 9 months without a dip then fell hard,no excuses..he went 2 months and fell. that was my first and ever try at quitting. i feel i was quitting for my buddy who talked me into it and not for myself. now i truelybelieve i'm ready to end this and i have support from my wife and 2 kids(4,2) and our third coming in 2 weeks! i remember during those 9 months that the first couple months was really hard, bac-off and houch and seeds really worked well. i plan on doing that same method along with the help from this site and keeping that image of my kids and my health in the back of my mind at all times. any advice or help would be great and i realize this decision is on my own just not sure if its normal to set a date for my 30th birthday. thanks-george

If you can convince me that quitting tomorrow or the next day or when the hell ever will be easier than right now then give it a shot.
Bottom line, you want to quit? now is the time.
If your word of honor means anything, you can do this. It's most definitely not going to be easy. But it can be done. If you want this more than anything else in your life right now, post roll. keep your word. We will help you remain accountable.
Your move

i just quit one day 400+ days ago and went one day at a time from that point, more important than a date to stop is to just stop and realize that it is gonna be really rough for the first few days as the nic leaves your body but it does get better

thanks everyone, i see theres no difference in quitting in november or right now. bottom line is i am gonna quit. did anyone ever have a planned last dip? i havent dipped since last night after reading this site and making this post. i'm at a crossroad now and my heads playing games. i guess now is a better time then ever, because the rest of my life i'm gonna picture just 1 more dip- here we go

Perfect reasoning. Remember it when you feel like nothing would be better than that last dip. Read the site. Be the site. Do those two things and you will be clean. Guaranteed.
Welcome to the site....and Day 1

man you made a good choise.
so this is for all those guys reedin thru and dissidin what they want a do:
i keep tryin to tell peeple that tomorow never comes. just like that orfan anny says - its just a day a way - for ever. and that lets you make excusses for yoursself.
now settin a day to quit is only a littel better cause i use to do that. first my birth day. then wen i got marryed. then when my firts was born. and so on. i failed afore i even quitted. then these guys here wised me up. i threw that shit out an sined up.
now you look down in my sig line. what's a good day to quit? any day endin in y. thats when.
today ends in y.
tomorow ends in w.
november ends in r.
novembers 13 ends in 3.
you get my point? there is a diffrince in today and november. evry reeson you give yoursself to wate til november you can use agin next time. quit today and you can worry bout tomorow when it never gets here.

You need to read some of the stories on this site if you're on the fence or have any doubts about a last dip. If you can read the Tom Kern story and still want that last dip then you truly don't give a shit about quitting or much less your life. I hope you make the right call.

Understanding your enemy.
As teenagers, what most of us thought would be a brief rebellious experiment was quickly transformed into a powerful lifelong chemical addiction as daily multiple nicotine feedings quickly became our way of life. New studies confirm that for some of us it only took coughing and hacking our way through a few nicotine laden cigarettes, or a few pinches of tobacco before the shackles of slavery began to control our lives. Five, ten, fifteen nicotine fixes a day became the norm, our way of life- when will enough be enough became the question. "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will quit” or "I love tobacco, it helps me think" “ “It helps me remain calm”, and many other lies we told ourselves daily. Welcome to the realities of chemical dependency. A world built upon lies; Lies sold to you by big tobacco and lies you told yourself.
Psychologists calls our lies denial. Denial is an unconscious defense mechanism for resolving the emotional conflict and anxieties that naturally arise from living in a permanent state of self-destructive chemical bondage. Three primary areas of denial relied upon by nicotine addicts are dependency denial, cost denial and recovery denial. In each, truth is sacrificed in exchange for peace of mind while remaining hostage in an artificial world of "nicotine normal," or to justify relapse. I know I told my self hundreds of times I could quit whenever I wanted to, I just did not want to quit. Tobacco kept me calm, helped me concentrate, gave me energy.. what horseshit. I know you all used this one too “ I will quit when Skoal reaches XXX per can.” All forms of denial to help you cope with your addiction.
Most nicotine addicts you'll see today are almost completely insulated by a thick blanket of unconscious denial rationalizations, minimizations, fault projections, escapes, intellectualizations and delusions that hide the pain of captivity or create the illusion that the problem is somehow being solved. The average addict musters the confidence to challenge their addiction about once every three years, at which time roughly 1 in 20 will succeed in breaking free for an entire year. These horrible recovery statistics evenutally result in half of us dying by our own hand, with male users losing an average of 13 years of life expectancy and females losing 14 years. Our senseless self-destruction is undeniable visible evidence of denial's depth, and the power of this addiction. The addiction insulated us from the extreme price being paid with each and every puff or pinch - a little more of life itself taken, all to line the pockets of big tobacco.
Sadly for far too many the three years between recovery attempts will be too long. According to the World Health Organization the next three years will cost 15 million of our brother and sister addicts their lives. If you are here reading this you are at a crossroads. You want to quit but are not sure you can. This is where you need to be. It will be tough, you will have to endure some pain but it can be done. As a former can to can and a half a day user I can attest to the fact that this site and the methods here do work. You have a choice to make today, another try in three years may be too late.

wow, i can see this site is gonna be my life instead of dip! what a great resource, thanks for the advice and support, 1 day at a time is my big picture here! did the 40min ride home from work this morning and what usually is a 2 pincher became a mind game. i stopped and got seeds and gonna order houch soon. got 1 can of grizzly minted unopened left, thinking about flushing it down the toilet-thanks

Good plan--right until the end. No thinking--flush. That one can is your worst enemy right now. This doesn't become real until you know all temptations are out of the way. That single act of flushing that can is the most empowering thing you can do.
Flush it and welcome.

My man gator is right. Flush that shit. No reason to keep it around as a trophy can. In fact, you should rid yourself of everything dip related. Spitters, empty cans, coupons....whatever. Pitch that shit out.
Congrats on your decision and welcome to the site.

Bingo!!! You're going to have enough reminders of your habit and you don't need the spit can, the open can of snuff, or anything else to discourage your quit. I still go 4 blocks out of my way to avoid my "old stomping grounds", the tobacco store where I bought my poison for the last 10 years.
You've made the right decision. The next couple of days are going to be hard, but we're here for you. As you go through the "fog" and on up in days quit, you'll find it gets easier, but don't lose focus. If you need anything, pm me.

now you have a mental image to focus on when the cravings start. Use that as your middle finger to the nic bitch when she comes around.

You post roll call in the December quit group here on the forum. When you post roll you are telling yourself and all of us that you will not use nic for that day. That is your word. Don't cave and keep your word.

Every damn noob on this site should read what dawnpatrol just did. "Son...here's my dip, please flush it for me. I'm done."
Way to nut up! Making your kids a part of the foundation of your quit team produces massive commitment on your part, and strengthens your web of accountability like nothing else can.
Deeply, deeply impressed, I am.

Excellent. You are going to be my new quit hero...just do not fuck up. I will be very disappointed.
As a father, let me impart some motivation on you: You saw your son dump your dip into the toilet. Well, next time you want a dip - or consider caving and having one - think about taking a steaming dump ON YOUR SON. Because in effect, that's what you'll be doing. You will be shitting on him and the rest of your family. And that's not the kind of man you are, is it?

Good stuff !! The NIC bitch WILL come whispering in your ear, I will promise you that. I can also promise you if you get your mind right and use the tools on this site you will beat this addiction.
Welcome to the party.

Let me add this. For me, this time of year was a hard to time to quit for two reasons:
1. Deer Season
2. Football Season
There are hundreds of triggers. Before you pull one of them, come in and here and pm someone, text someone, call someone, go into chat. Heck, run around the neighborhood in your drawers. Just don't give in. This will be the best thing you've ever done. I promise. Heck, everyone of these hardcore quitters will promise you the same thing. There is life after nicotine.

Dean could not be more correct. That picture should go with you to the grave--quit free, old and with your jaws intact. You sir, are off the a great start. You pm me or any other quitter on here if you want a number or need help.
-
you are keeping your word to your kid
Exactly. I quit on my daughter's birthday. I wouldn't take away a new toy after giving it to her. I sure as hell wasn't going to take this away from her. I promised her I was going to quit for her birthday and damnit I did that. Then I quit the next day. And the next. And the next............

-
i'm eating everything in my fucking house!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just kicked the dog down the stairs too...god damn!!
yes, I need to make healthier eating choices too. put on 7 lbs already in the past 4 days. not a great feeling, but better than chewing for sure! I'll have to use the money I'm saving from not chewing to buy a home gym!

I've gained some weight since I quit. But the way I look at it, you can always lose weight. You can't re-grow a jaw bone, you can't undo cancer and you can't come back to life (physically) from putting that cancer powder into your body. Stay quit!

It is not going to just fall off. Here is a tip I got early on from Hydro. Get up off the couch and walk. Start at a small 30 minute walk and work your way up from there.
Many quitters have become avid exercisers. I myself work out 5-6 days a week. Some guys do marathons etc. The point is you cannot wish the weight off you have to get up and burn it off.
You are a bad ass quitter... if you can quit dipping then exercise should be easy in comparison....

had some pretty fucked up dip dreams lastnight...today is gonna be a good day! i can feel it....i apologized sincerely to my wife this morning for flipping out last night...i feel alot better

Good idea Greg. I've also started bicycle riding again. Kind of slacked off during the 100 + degree weather we've been having, but will start again in a few weeks. Me, my son and my daughter usually ride in the evenings. Not only do you get some excercise, I feel better after I've rode a few miles. Also, it gives me some one on one time with the kids.

It's going to happen. One of my worst was on day 4. I remember dreaming about dreading to log on and posting a day 1 again. And it was real. BTW, if you need to go off, log in here and take it out on us. Your wife is going to be one of your biggest supporters if you let her.
-
its all good, i will log on and rip u a new ass next time..k? lol...gonna go for my 4 mile walk today.i was going everyday for 3months straight without missing 1 day..i lost about 25lbs. the last couple weeks have been crazy at work and just got home from vacation so i'm gonna start getting my walks in throughtout the week. if i can do 4miles everyday and loose weight..how the fuck cant i stop using the dip which will eventually destroy me and my family. well the answer is i am ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY gonna quit this shit...same dedication.
-
day 3 is almost over. i had a great day with my family today! slept in a little later than i'd like to have but we headed out for a fun day of crabbbing! good times without the dip are possible, this day 3 wasnt so bad, actually a little easier than 1,2. tomorrow is the real test, i work alone and drive most of the day....fuck you grizzly mint!

If you are going to do a lot of driving, grab something to take the place of snuff. Just something to help with the oral fixation. You've got day 3 licked and the nic should be out of your system. Now, you have to deal with the craves and triggers. If you get stuck, call someone, text someone, pm someone, just seek help. Above all else, remember the look on your son's face when he dumped that evil poison in the toilet.

hey thanks alot vh5150..ur advice and support means alot! i actually tore through a whole bag of seeds today. day 4 was pretty positive. i went to walmart and grabbed a tin of smokey mountain shit...classic flavor...not bad..i'm gonna try to do this without the fake though. i feel really good. my wife is now on board full steam ahead. she did alot of research on here and some other sites. we hit a bump in the road this weekend when she told me she'd rather have me dipping than being such a jerk. well....i about fucking lost it at her. yup, i was a jerk but i was going through some sort of withdrawl or something plus she is 9 months pregnant and very emotional. anyhow we got over that and she is on board. i know for sure with my mental strength and family support and with this supportive site i can kick the can for good. i feel awesome on day 4..cant wait for tomorrow actually.....-george

Your wife can offer support but she has no idea what you are going through. Have her do some more reading about our poison of choice and I promise you she will not say she would rather have you dipping again.
Yes you are going to be a jerk for awhile, you are going to have mood swings etc. It is all part of the healing process. Just remember you are probably over reacting to most things right now so breathe before you speak...
You are doing great. Keep adding ones...

Ok-its time. No more when I turn 30, when I buy the new condo, when I move in with my girlfriend, when I get married, when my kid is born. Can't believe I have done this for so long. Had a couple of periods where I quit and had it licked but thought I could go back. Sterted this crap in HS to be cool and now it is 30 years later and here I am. Thought of my kids having to go through life with a Father who had 1/2 face. Not their fault-they didn't sign up for that deal. It is time.

Feels like a century since I spit out my last fatty. On day 3 and Nic Bitch is pulling out all the stops. Seems like everything I do is a trigger, from waking up in the morning, to eating, to working, to exercising. Thank the brothers on this site for making me flush my shit 3 days ago, or I would have been dumpster diving.
But I know for sure that today is not the day to cave.

Very good to hear about the check up. Remember this day and how it feels. They will get more and more frequent with time. Eventually the good days will far outweigh the bad days. And way down the road you will very rarely even think about dip.

I remember my first trip to the dentist. I was so freaked out I could barely breathe. Remember how good this feels, remember why you quit !!
NEVER AGAIN !!
STAY QUIT
