Hi all.
I'm a 23 year old male that has been dipping for 2-3 years. While 2-3 of dipping may not be very long, I want to stop this awful habit before it spins out of control and consumes my life any more. I also do not want to be a statistic to mouth/throat, etc. cancer, and it is a chances game I'm not willing to play. Also, being from Canada, as many of you may know a tin is around $23...
So far I'm on my fourth day without dip and I believe it is going well although I am getting the cravings. The greatest cravings have been when I'm driving. I usually always had a dip in when I am driving. I've ordered some of the tobacco free alternative (Grinds and Nip Energy Dip) to try out.
I would also like to say congratulations to those of have quit dipping after years and years and years of partaking in the habit.
All the best,
Kent

Kent, don't worry about years and years from now. It's great to have that goal tucked away somewhere in your mind, but around here we quit One Day At A Time (ODAAT). Forever is too hard to comprehend. Hell, 10 days is too hard to comprehend at first. Post your promise and keep it for one single day. That's all you need to worry about for now. Every day you chalk up a win is a day that you won the battle vs. nicotine. Those will start to pile up in due time, but for now, just win one battle at a time.
Welcome, glad to have you aboard brother.

Welcome man, it's going to be a rough ride for a little bit but it will get better. Do whatever you got to do to keep the shit out of your mouth and post roll everyday. Keep your promise and you will get through it. If you ever need anything don't be afraid to ask, everyone here is willing to help.

Thank you! I'm glad to be a part of this.

Thank you! I'm glad to be a part of this.
Welcome Kent. Great decision to quit now! Never forget that this is not a habit - it an addiction to a powerful drug nicotine. Coming face to face with the truth that you are addicted and an addict can be daunting. It was for me, but it has made all the difference.
I see you posted up in November! Fantastic. If you have read much on this site, I'm sure you know how important that roll post is. We take this promise very seriously and in return, we promise you that we will not use nicotine in any form for today. I had trouble finding your post because you used your real name "Kent" instead of your KTC name "Keja". Most of us post with our KTC name or an abbreviation of that.
Glad to have you here and proud to be quit with you.

I had the misfortune of being in Canada one time when I ran out of dip. I almost quit right then when I saw the price! I wish I would have!
Welcome to the site. Get to know people and exchange numbers. Remember there is No Day but Today. You can do this. I quit with you.

Welcome Kent!
There are literally thousands of us that would love to go back and quit in our 20's. Don't be like me or before you know it you'll be 49 and just getting around to quitting after tens of thousands of wasted dollars, stealing time from the family and decades of being a slave to a plant.
You will not regret this. You can do this. Stay active here. Make Friends and POST ROLL EVERYDAY!

Welcome kent, 38 year dipper here but thanks to this place 243 days of freedom! The way to take your freedom back is post roll every damn day (edd )one day at a time (Odaat ) as soon as you wake up pray, piss,post (wuppp) get active in your group, read as much as you can , listen, learn. Take what you need, leave the rest. Main thing to remember you're never alone and post early and often! I quit with you today my friend!

Like others have said, you're damn smart to even consider kicking this shit to the curb so early on. Wish I was as smart as you, but it took me 32+ years of dickheadedness. Welcome to the nut house, my friend.
Why do Canadians say, "eh"? Because it sounds so much fucking smarter than, "huh?". (I live pretty close to the border) 'na na'

Thanks for the warm welcome, folks.
And I have no clue why Canadians say 'eh'. I know that I say it sometimes without even noticing haha. I would say that people in more rural areas of Canada say 'eh' just like people in rural areas of the southern United States say 'y'all'. Just a guess.

Every advertiser dreams of getting someone to spend $23/ tin for a 'habit'. That's not going to happen. You are messing with an addiction. 2-3 years sounds way too damn long to be spending $23/ tin to feed an addiction. Get your vocabulary straight. Then stay quit.

My apologies. I realize that it is an addiction. It was a wrong choice of words on my part.

$23 per tin. Damn.

For a while I was getting dip in the States, where it is obviously cheaper.
I wasn't going through a tin everyday. I would go through a tin every 4-6 days I would say. Now that my province is banning smokeless tobacco products in 2016 it would be a good time to quit now before I start resorting to buying dip in the States again.
-
Welcome aboard keja. Please understand. ..it will never be easier to quit than it is right now. You can do this.
-
You are making a great choice one day at a time. Glad you are here. Quitting alone is hopeless. Quitting as a team, one day at s time, is the key. Keep kicking ass, Canada!

I was in business in Toronto last year and I bought two tins. I almost flipped out when it came to nearly $50! The sad thing is, I bought it anyway because really I had no choice. There was no way I was going to go without... The ridiculously high $7.50 per tin here in MN looked great in comparison.
Glad you're hear. Quit now and never turn back!

I'm glad I stumbled upon KTC. I've tried to quit numerous times but I feel a lot more motivated now that I've registered here.

This place will work wonders if you let it. Trust the process and stick with it bro.

One thing I see missing it seems to me is lack of confidence. Don't think you can do this, know that you can do this. No one's making you dip but you. The only that can cause you to fail is you. The only one that can make this happen is you! Quit on my friend! Balls in your court and you definitely control your on destiny and no one can quit for you!

Kent,
Hang in there! I'm a new quitter too and drive a lot for my job so I am also used to dipping most of the day. So far I'm sucking on cough drops throughout the day. They're fairly cheap and are helping the sore throat. A tin here in Ohio is just over $3! Which sadly makes it too easy to afford. I wish it was $25 a tin here maybe it would prevent a lot of people from getting hooked.

Thank you, all. I appreciate the feedback.
I believe my biggest test so far will be a 5 hour drive back to my home town on Wednesday. I've made this trip a lot the past four years being in University but now it'll be different.

Is it against the law to text and drive in Canada? If not PM your digits and I'll make sure you don't dip on Wednesday. Even if I have to send you hairy ball pics, it's better than you caving to a stupid weed. You have support now brother, USE IT!

It is against the law in Canada to text and drive. With a pretty hefty fine if caught.
I'll still check the forums here during driving breaks.

Alright, then stop every 20-30 minutes and text me, but you will not dip on Wednesday. Period. It's that simple. It's not easy, but it's not impossible. Don't be afraid any more Keja, jump in 100%, we'll be right here waiting.

KingNothing... I thought I was the only one you sent hairy ball pics to...?!?! Haha
Driving... Yep, I remember my first post quit drive too. You'll do fine sir. The anticipation is a killer, but the feeling of winning is sweet. Post your promise, keep your word. There's a whole bunch of people on the sidelines cheering you on. You've got this.

Keja, You can handle the drive. I took the bus to work a couple of days early in my quit to avoid the triggers of driving so I know what you are going through. Have you printed out the contract to give up? Make sure you have that with you in case you hit a no cell zone or battery issue. I still keep mine with me.

It wasn't that intense other than I caved and bought a tin. Weird experience nonetheless.

Made it through my first road trip. Minor craving but I blared some tunes and had seeds to pull me through.

Nice job on the victory, and nice job documenting it! The anticipation of the event was worse than the event. You can do this. One day at a time.
At $23/tin you've probably already saved enough for a Winnebego. Haha

Hey Keja, congrats on passing the road trip test! It seems that's a huge trigger for most or many, it certainly was for me. But isn't it a great feeling knowing you can get through hours of driving without a dip? Catching up on this thread here, W2W asked me to join in awhile back I haven't. So reading as well about your dip dream. Yeah they suck. Big time. Proof you're winning though!

I just saw this now. Maybe I should keep up with my own thread more often haha.
I'm officially one month in now and I'm rapidly approaching the half way mark of the HOF. I've found myself using the fake stuff less and less lately. Another sign I'm winning the battle.
I have a couple friends who dip and some who don't dip that have said I'm going to cave like I did every other time before KTC. This is definitely a motivating factor in my quit.
