Well I'll start out with my story. I started dipping when I was 12 and I am currently 18 now. I figured if I stopped before I had been chewing for 30 or 40 years like some of the guys here then maybe I wont have to face all the challenges that they did. I'm currently 14 days off of all forms of nicotine and I'm feeling pretty damn good about it. How are y'all feeling today?

Cereal,

You are one smart young man.

Congratulations on making such a wise decision so early in your life.

Welcome to the group.

Here are some tips that helped me and continue to help me with my quit.

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 on 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 cannot 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.
