I have finally joined ya'll and this is my first post. I have not had a dip since June 30th at 2:30 p.m. I have been dipping for (28) twenty eight years and I am only 41 yrs. old. I lost my father to a heart attack (tobacco user and 52 yrs. old) when I was young, I lost my oldest sister to cancer (tobacco user and 50 yrs. old) a few years back, and in June this year my middle sister (tobacco user and 53 yrs. old) had a heart attack. I am married and have two sons and I don't want them to go through this. I know for my health that I have to quit, and I have been very committed to it. I have not had any tobacco or nic. since June 30th, but it is getting a lot harder. Any advise is appreciated.
