I have used nicotine for 18 years in various forms, but dip has always been my number 1 choice. I smoked for 5 years by itself, smoked and dipped for 2 years and have just dipped for 11 years. Today, 02-05-14, will be my first official "day 1". I have to and want to kick this addiction to the curb. I can't really imagine doing my day to day activities without having a dip in, but I'm gonna give it my all. I have quit one time before for about 4 months then caved while going through a bad point in my life. No excuse! I didn't need it before hand and I don't need it now. I hope to stay strong and focused on my goal to quit. I am just at the end of my rope with desperation, but have always been reluctant to put down the can because it's such a big part of me. Well, that has to change! I want it to change! May God be with me and those who cross path in the next few days. It's not pretty. Good luck to you all!
