I have been meaning to quit nicotine since i was around 28 years old. I am now 44. I started dip at age 14(helped me study), switched to cigs at 22, both at 28, then only chew at 38. I stopped once with the help of patches 4 years ago but only lasted 8 months. I now have 2 kids with my GF and I started to feel stunned that this habit had such control of me. I was watching the last lunar eclipse with the family and something in my mind just switched, I realized whats important, and that i had to do whatever I could to preserve my health. I decided on the spot to not put another dip into my lip. And to look at the coming battle with my addiction as a fun test of my strength. To gain energy from the pain I knew was waiting. Well it has worked so far. Two weeks of freedom from that crutch. I feel clear headed, more motivated, better rested, and a better partner to my family. I want this to last......forever
(I copied this from my post in the roll page 1 week ago so I could have a formal intro here in the right section. I am so happy to be quit now for three weeks with my fellow DOG army.)

Hah, I knew that eclipse had super powers! Welcome to quit.
Good idea to use this intro as a log of your quit. It will serve of a reminder of how far you have come, how much better life is, and how the first days of quit suck too much to be repeated. Over time, nicotine will try to delude you into thinking you are "cured." If that though ever enters your mind, reread your intro from the first post and understand that as addicts we are never "cured."
It keeps getting better, I quit with you today.

It is hard to know if dip helped you study at age 14, or if you were having trouble studying because of nicotine withdrawal, and so you threw in a dip. Nic has been lying to you your whole life. Dip, smoking, patches, combinations therein, that shit really has had you in slavery. One day at a time and post roll every day, and you can do it this time.

Congrats Supermoon. One day at a time. I quit with you and am here if you need anything.

Quark, I had never thought of it that way. I have always sort of silently maintained that dip helped me study, even while I rage against my addiction and big tobacco.
But I never considered that I survived a challenging high school career and almost a full year of college without nicotine, yet suddenly by junior year I had convinced myself that I needed nicotine somehow to study. Crazy shit.

I had my first tobacco dream last night. Weird thing was i was smoking a cigarrette( actually had two) and not dipping. It was a very unpleasant experience, i was mad at myself and it made me feel like crap. I woke up from the dream happier to be on this quit journey today. I have been experiencing more rage and disco tentment with people around me recently, so maybe this was my brain working out some kinks

Remind yourself to not take anything out on anyone.
take a walk. run. punch something. whatever you need to do to get through it.
Congrats on the continued quit and the dreams suck!!!!!!!!

You'd best come back to this board sober and not fuck with others' quits. That is all I have seen you do since you got back here.
You keep calling out to me for help. Why don't you read the love note I sent you via PM so we can chat?
Stop wasting peoples' time if all you are going to do is talk shit like a drunken sailor. Your life might be hard but we all have choices. You chose wrong and are now having to deal with the consequences. Man the fuck up and start acting like someone who wants to Quit.
