I found this group on day 16 of my quit, wish I would of found it on day 1. The things I read on this site are very helpful.
I started dipping like alot of you at about 12, got serious about 15. For the last 20 years I have never gone very long without a dip. I never even wanted to quit, much less tried.
I promised my wife before we got married that I would make a real effort to quit, and never even thought of trying until she finally called me on it. I love my wife more than Skoal Original, and about 2 days after she finally mentioned it I took the last dip I will ever take.
I coach baseball and am getting ready to go face my biggest trigger, we open preseason practice today. I will get through it, but I am nervous at the moment. Thanks to all the guys who have already shown their support for me.
Skoal has seen the last $ they will get from me.

Made it through the first day of practice. Wasn't easy with all the dip around me, but it did help to think about what I have read here. Screw the dip for having this much control over me even if I am not having any.

where do you coach baseball?

Southern University in Baton Rouge

Nice work Jon.
That'll be a toughie for me too.... they've always gone hand in hand... dip and baseball. That's how I started.
Congrats on making it through the day!

I think I am losing my mind. I have started dreaming of taking dips. That is getting pathetic.

Nahhhh you are getting better and stronger each day. Dip Dreams are kinda crazy. I had them, scare the shit out me. Thought I really messed up. They are only dreams though and not real. Quitting each day is real though. Hang in there!

The best is the double pump fake dip dream.
You dream you are chewing and then wake up all freaked out from it until you realize it wasn't a dream because the empty tin is right there so now your REALLY fucked and THEN you wake up. and realize that ALL of it was a dream. When you have one of those MOFO's then you can whine

Sounds good I'll shut up till then

I have made it to the day I originally gave myself permission to have a dip on. I will not have it. I am not and will never be the most active poster on this site, but I read something on it just about everyday.
I appreciate the people who spend so much of their time helping others on this site. The site has become a tool as much as my family in helping me quit.
Just wanted to say thanks on day 41 of my quit.

I have nearly stopped at two stores this morning. I had to get to the computer to sign role. I am not happy with myself for being this weak.
I will make it through this.
Just venting a little typing since I can't yell out loud right now.

I've been there. You done the right thing. Sometimes posting roll is the only thing that saves my quit.

So I couldn't sleep last night, and grabbed the laptop from beside the bed, I logged on to tthis site. Well it was about 4 a.m. so I decided I would go ahead and post roll for the day. Just before I did that I reached over to the nightstand and grabbed a can of Skoal and put a dip in. I woke up soon after that ready to throw stuff out the window. It was a very vivd dream, and I am not sure I didn't spit in my water glass.
Does this stuff ever end?

Gets easier and easier until the biggest risk to your quit is forgetting how shitty it was in the beginning. Just keep taking it bit by bit, you got this

you scared me for a second, I thought you caved.
those dreams do suck, but as far as I know they never end. haven't had one in a few months, so i'm hoping maybe i am wrong.
as scary as it is to wake up thinking you fucked up, isn't it equally as good, or even better to know you are still quit? i love that...

Those dreams are an amazing thing aren't they? I have had 3 in the past 168 days and I am still amazed by how real they feel when I wake up.
Stay strong! Stay quit!

I still have occasional dip dreams at 900 days quit, but there easy to blow off.

Is it still illegal to kill dumbass clients that call you with problems before the start of the business day when you are out of town?

Boss asked me to buy him a can while I was out on the road today. Felt awkward asking for something other than a can of skoal fine cut. Had a slight urge, but fought through it. I don't suggest I do that again.

The boss can take a flying leap. I would not jepordize my quit for anyone....ANYONE.
