I actually just stumbled across this site tonight. For weeks, months even, I have thought about quitting. Well, not thought--I've known that I should. So, I just ran to the corner store and bought a huge bag of sunflower seeds.
I've really only been in the thick of this crap for about a year now (maybe more like a year and a half). Last summer I took a two week vacation overseas and was without dip the entire time. During that period I didn't really suffer any ill effects of withdrawal, with the exception of a few killer headaches at the start of the trip. And honestly, I didn't even give dip much of a second thought the rest of the trip. But what do I do as soon as I get off the plane when I get home? Buy some cancer dirt, of course. And since then it's been about half a can a day or more. I'm a college student and I'm tired of returning home on the weekends and sneaking out to my Jeep at about midnight when my parents are asleep...just to try to get a few late night pinches in before morning because I don't want my parents to know.
Anyway, I hope this is a start.

If you're serious go to the Welcome Center (upper left) and read..
Post roll in the July 2012, that's your group of fellow quitters. Get to know them. Exchange numbers. Help each other out.
Make your promise each day.
Honor that promise for the day.
Repeat tomorrow.
Simple but not always easy.
You can do this. I'm quit with you today.

I'm quit with you today! Just do it one day at a time and it won't seem so overwhelming.

Dude quit now!! Believe me you don't want to spend the rest of your life sneaking around living a fricking lie (38) yr lie for me I know. Also nothing new about taking a vacation from the bitch always results in more use after returning.
Follow directions in welcome center and get posted w/ July we help each other!!!

Many of us wish we'd have quit at your age. You have the opportunity to do it. So go for it.
Your life is worth the effort; believe me!!
