Hello, this is my first time posting here. I've used just about all forms of nicotine over my lifetime, most recently including dip, pipe tobacco, snuff, and cigars. I haven't used any form of nicotine since last Wednesday, but dip is the real culprit in my life. I'm just damn tired of there always being several rancid spitters either in my room or in my car, dipping in front of my girlfriend knowing that she doesn't like it, and feeling like I NEED something that I certainly don't need. More often than not these days I don't even enjoy the flavor or sensation and get nothing from it besides a quick nicotine fix. A friend of mine, a recovering addict, likes to say that in difficult moments all you "need" is to breath. Feels good to have gone this far, just hope the motivation sticks! I plan on hanging around and posting more. Thank you all!
