Hey. I quit using nicotine on May 14th, 2016. I've been posting over on QSSN where I am the sole member of my group. I'm still posting there, but I see little downside to adding another layer of accountability.

Anyway, I was a professional dipper for that last 20 years, and a semi-professional quitter for the last 4 years. Everytime I caved I became more secretive in my dipping and my consumption increased. I did a little accounting and figured that with 6 hours of sleep and about 1 hour of eating time, I had a dip in mouth roughly 17 hours out of the day. Goddamn idiot, I am. So many times I "quit" and so many times I failed, that i just assumed I would never be able to quit. But one day something snapped...I realized how tired i was of being a robot and a slave and I dumped all of my dip and NRT on May 14th and became a non-dipper.

So that's that. I quit.

Horse, What a great decision you've made in quitting and also in joining us here. Welcome to the August quit group as well. I am in the group and you see a PM from me with my digits should you need help fighting off a crave or anything else. Stories are similar in that I had a dip in all day aside from either brushing my teeth or eating. We are past the physical withdrawal part of the quit and into the psychological test. We'll get there as long we stay accountable to one another by posting roll and being engaged here on the forum. Proud to be quit with you. See you at roll!

QSSN is another site exactly like this one. I think it stands for quit smokeless and snuff network. It's a good site with some great guys, but dead as hell.

Thanks for the welcome, all. BTW, what does EDD mean?
