Congratulations on making it a week without dip. If you keep up with what people are advising during the early days of their quit, they are always recommending staying away from alcohol (destroys judgement and resolve) and often staying away from caffeine (seems to increase the crave), and that hydration is key. I suck wintergreen life savers at the times during the day that I would have dipped wintergreen Skoal in the past. You don't have to look to cessation to understand how addictive nicotine is: look at all of those healthy, active, admirable people engaged in your athletic lifestyle poisoning themselves with dip. If you want companionship in your quit, especially since your colleagues continue dipping and offering immanent temptation, come join us by posting roll every morning.

Congrats on making a great choice, Walter!!! Quark is right...just join us each morning. Learn how and why we post roll, then do it. You really can do this. Believe in yourself.

Team,

I have been dipping since i was 16 years old. Prep school hockey and lacrosse got me there, and 12 years later here i am. Hunting, fishing, hiking and climbing have been the main activities with dip since college. This is my 8th day without chew and it hasnt been an easy one. With that being said i cant believe how much better i feel, particularly my jaw and gums. Day one was horribly powerful, a true addict through withdraw. You have no idea how powerful a drug nicotine is until you cut it out.

Mornings/coffee are the hardest part of the day for me. Food needs to replace nicotine in the a.m. and Im still working on that. This is my first post on the site but this website has been extremely helpful and powerful to lead me on this road. I sent out an email to all my close friends in the area telling them about my quit. I was amazed at the support and out reach my friends gave me. Its nice to know that they are there to keep me honest.

I live in ID/WY now, where everyone chews. Many of my good friends and role models chew which is the most challenging part. I know chew is horrible but that lifestyle out here is an uphill battle.

Cravings are constant still. Ginger chews, sunflower seeds and smokey mountain fake chew have all been a huge help. Hydration is key.

Thanks for the support.

Walter
