Sniper34639,
Welcome to the group.
The main way to be successful is to just decide that you have quit. Once you stop the negotiating in your head as to whether you will do one more or not the rest becomes far more simple.
Next, you will learn to distract your attention from your desire for a dip to anything else that interests you. This ability to change your focus will guarantee your success and make your quit that much easier.
When you place a dip in your mouth, your brain releases sugars. Well, those sugars are now going to be gone.
However, you can replace them with OJ or other fruit juices with sugar. This will provide some comfort, especially in your initial quit days.
Make sure to exercise with weights and cardio when you feel that nagging tension in your muscles, you feel that rage, when you can not sleep and when you can not focus. Exercise really helps.
Here is one that most people overlook. Get at least 3 square meals a day. Hunger can really bring on those urges so squash those urges before they come. Eat full healthy meals and do not let yourself get excessively hungry. You will see this helps a great deal.
I waited until I was 59 quit after using tobacco for 40 years. You are wise to quit now.
I quit with you today.

Thank y'all for the support, my wife had been on me to quit since we were dating but the thought never really came up unless she fussed at me, I thought really hard about it, when my son was born but kept doing it then wanted stop when my daughter was born, but I didn't and now I've had enough of the wife's complaining and I have a third on the way so I finally made my own choice to stop for me, cause by trying to stop for the family there was a part of me that still wanted to since I had done it most my life but thanks to this site showing me the light in regards to quitting for me and my family not just them I have made it 49 hours and counting.
