Hey all,
My wife found this website and suggested me visit. I have been dipping for almost 16 years now. At my worst I was up to 3 cans a day. Currently I am in a unique situation where we are currently living, and they do not sell the can but on a base near here. I have had moments of weakness to the point that I want to find a service member and sweet talk them into supplying me with some dip. So far I have been able to resist the urge. My problem is, since I have not had a dip now for more than 5+ weeks, I have turned to cigs to cut the edge. I do not like smoking, it gives me headaches, but like I said it takes the edge off of things. I am trying to make the rest of our stay here a nice one, but I go into rages, hence cig time, just to control my anger. I do not want to lash out at my wife, and she knows that this is a struggle for me. I have tried the patch but my body does not like that and breaks me into a rash. The good ole gum is a little weak for me as well. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might can do to help control my rage sprees? I want to quit for my wife, I have told her this and that this is the only reason that I am trying to quit. I guess deep down I would like to kick the habit as well, but for right now she is my driving reason, which is a strong one!
I just don't know what else to do, I have associated dip with everything in my life, from working on the computer, school, driving, walking, watching t.v., you name it. Oh, I have also gone through 2 different "smoker sensation" classes...I love that they have medical support groups for smokers but not for the dippers. Okay, enough of my rambling on. I look forward to interacting with you all and hope that some of you can relate and give me some suggestions as to what I can do.
Many thanks!!
