Welcome to the group. Here are some words of wisdom I like to share:

The main way to be successful is to just decide that you have quit. Once you stop the negotiating in your head as to whether you will do one more or not the rest becomes far more simple.

Next, you will learn to distract your attention from your desire for a dip to anything else that interests you. This ability to change your focus will guarantee your success and make your quit that much easier.

When you place a dip in your mouth, your brain releases sugars. Well, those sugars are now going to be gone.

However, you can replace them with OJ or other fruit juices with sugar. This will provide some comfort, especially on your initial quit days.

Make sure to exercise with weights and cardio when you feel that nagging tension in your muscles, you feel that rage, when you can not sleep and when you cannot focus. Exercise really helps.

Here is one that most people overlook. Get at least 3 square meals a day. Hunger can really bring on those urges so squash those urges before they come. Eat full healthy meals and do not let yourself get excessively hungry. You will see this helps a great deal.

I waited until I was 59 quit after using tobacco for 40 years. You are wise to quit now.

I quit with you today.

Dipping for about 3.5 years. Griz straight is my cyanide of choice. Tried to quit numerous times and always managed to cave whether it's been a couple days or a couple weeks. Realized that the only way to successfully quit is to fully commit. It's never gonna happen if you just expect it to happen without paying your dues. Im sick of fucking nicotine, sick of the mouth ulcers, sore throats, cancer scares. I hate seeing my family, friends, gf taking a backseat to nicotine. It will no longer run my life and hijack my thoughts, actions, behaviors, and memories. I'm here to liberate myself. I'm here to quit.

3 days quit. about 52 hours since the beginning of the rest of my life.
Welcome. I want you to reach out to Chris2alaska. You chewed the same weed. He did like 3 cans a day! Now he's nic free, living large, and laughing easy. Really, Tell him I sent you....

If you want my digits, just ask and they will be yours, but I expect yours in return.

Accountability is a statement of personal promise, both to yourself and to the people around you, to deliver specific defined results.
Brian Dive

Do not be complacent about your achievements and not to strive for continual improvement when you get to the top. As soon as you let success go to your head, you sink into following familiar patterns and play it safe. In other words, you risk losing your edge.
Roy T. Bennett

You need anything, ask.  You feel strong, help.  This quit is for you but we got your back.

Do not let the actions of others determine the direction of YOUR quit.

There are no dumb questions, just dumb people who ask questions.
