It's been a few years since dipping for the first time. I started with doing it every now and then when I was hanging out with the guys, but over the past 2 years it has turned into something that controls my life. I'd avoid hanging out with girls so I can dip. I'd stay up late just to have another dip before bed. I'd use it at inappropriate times just to get a quick fix. But I'm done with that. Something that started out as recreational has turned int something that has an association with shame. I'm sick of being controlled by having to dip 3-4 times a day.
It's been just over 1 day without any nicotine now. I'm antsy and have been getting easily upset. The irritability is more than I was expecting it to be. I have a solid support group of friends around me who are checking in to see how I'm doing and who have also agreed to let me vent to them whenever I need to.
I'm ready for this challenge and am going to quit one day at a time.

You've got the right mindset. Better to beat the addiction right now while you're at half a can a day instead of waiting til it turns into 2 cans a day and you never DON'T have one in. There is no magic pill. You can do this by being stronger than your addiction one day at a time. It won't always be easy, but it's simple: just don't put it in your mouth. There are a lot of steps you have to cover before that pinch is between your fingers (scrounge the money, drive to the store, walk in the store, ask the cashier for a can, pay for the can, open the can, etc.). Don't take those steps. If you crave, jump on here or get some numbers from guys in your group and shoot the shit with them instead of reaching for your keys.
It won't always suck, but it will for a bit. Be better than the suck. Turn the tables and win today.

You have nailed the definition of an addictive drug: it has become more important than the opportunity to have sex.
Don't let this shit control your life any further. Post roll every day, and stay quit with the rest of your group.
Otherwise, it only gets worse, that 4 dips per day becomes every chance you have free time; it becomes every time you take a shit or shower; it becomes every time you drive your car; it becomes 'I can't wait for her to get dressed and leave my bed so that I can dip'.

This ^^^ is the truth Righty. I went from about a can a month to one a day and it happened without me even realizing it. Don't let it get to that. Quit right now and don't look back.
