I recently started graduate school, and I'm living on my own for the first time. Between the insane amount of school work and alone time, I started dipping more and could tell I was becoming dependent on it. Just decided I would kill the habit before I got too dependent on it.
That's the way this addiction works: you gradually fill every opportunity you have to dip to with dip. Graduate school is a prime time for your dip opportunity to increase since you will be spending so much time hitting the books. Graduate school isn't like undergraduate school: graduate school is like a full time job and more. You can easily find yourself with dip in for more than 12 hours per day.

This is an addiction, amigo. If you admit that to yourself, you are less likely to cave. You can't control how much you dip: it will always grow to fill every opportunity you have to dip. Don't call it a habit. Call yourself a nicotine addict-- that's lesson 1 day 1 of graduate school.
Glad you found us cduane. Shout if you need assistance.

I've "stopped" dipping before, but never "quit". Always found an excuse to start again. I started using tobacco on March 27th 2008, when I was 16. I'm determined to be tobacco free before becoming a 10 year user! TODAY

I was never a very heavy dipper (compared to other people I know), three times a day would be a lot for me. However, I recently started graduate school, and I'm living on my own for the first time. Between the insane amount of school work and alone time, I started dipping more and could tell I was becoming dependent on it I AM AN ADDICT. Just decided I would kill the habit FIGHT BACK AGAINST MY ADDICTION before I got too dependent on it DIE.

Everyone's support has been incredibly overwhelming! Happy to be a part of the "Novembirds"
Welcome again CDuane and glad you're here and ready to go. I've edited a few things in your post to help you get your mind right for this battle we wage. Start taking some pride right from the get go, with statements like:

I am quit
I will not chew today
I will not let my brothers down today
Fuck nicotine and the dirty lies associated with it
I will earn my freedom one day at a time (ODAAT) and do so with conviction and pride today.

It sounds silly and you may think that I'm a former Looney Tunes cast member, but it's true. If you don't get the mindset part down, this thing will not happen. Post your promise (roll) first thing in the morning, and then keep that promise. It's not easy, but it's a simple concept. I'm quit with you today CD, as are the thousands of others on this site that earn their freedom every damn day (EDD).

Fantastic decision Duane!

Be sure to use all the tools this place has to offer. It truly works. I am 345 days quit, and I too had tried to quit before finding KTC. It sucks at first, but it gets better and feels badass.

Keep up the good work, and come back tomorrow.
