thanks for all the welcomes and encouragement. i decided that "hopefully" is not my word anymore.

I posted my first roll call about 15 minutes ago or so in the march 13 group. immediately after tossed the remaining 1/2 can in the toilet at work.

Hey everyone. I'm Stephen from Memphis, TN. 27 years old, been dipping for over 13 years. Started the second week of my freshman year of high school.

In the past I've talked about quitting, even doing "laser therapy" which i think is a crock of crap, but I tried. I've used e-cigs, bac-off, and nicorette. Tried chewing gum, hard candy, sunflower seeds, you name it.

I have managed to quit for a few weeks at a time, but something inevitably keeps me going back to the store. My "most successful" attempt lasted about 6 weeks. I was doing great, and then went fly fishing. I had never fished without a dip in my mouth, and it didn't feel right, so i left the river, went and got a can, and the rest is history. This was about 4 years ago now.

Currently I fluxuate between 1 and 2 cans a day of long cut grizzly wintergreen. And i HATE it. As I said previously, I've talked about quitting, and thought about it, but now I'm serious. I know you can't quit if you don't want to, but now I have a very strong, overwhelming desire to kill the can.

To give you a little about my current dipping habits...I'll put a dip in, and spit it out 10 minutes later. And then I'll miss the feeling of that wad between my cheek and receeding gums. So I'll do it again. Sometimes I'll even put a dip in, decide i don't really want it, and spit it out.

This time I'm so serious about quitting, I'd even consider going to an inpatient treatment facility if i could find one that dealt with tobacco. I can no longer keep this shit up.

I've been heavily addicted to other substances before (cocaine), and was able to quit cold turkey and not look back. The can has such a firm grasp on my life, I just can't do it alone. When I try to quit, my demeanor and attitude is so shitty and people hate being around me, that I always go back. Even I hate being around me when I'm not using.

Any advice, words of wisdom, local groups, and suggestions as far as things like accupuncture/hypnosis are GREATLY appreciated. Hopefully I'll post my Day 1 and roll call soon.

Thanks!

TL;DR: I'm Stephen from Memphis, 27 years old. Really want to quit. Can't do it alone. Please give advice.

Welcome - you are making a great first step. Go to the group page and find March 2012 and post up. Then post everyday that you will quit. Read everything you can on this site. Connect with fellow quitters. I dipped for 30 years. I missed that feeling. I always had a dip. When I quit I took up running and I got fake chew (mint). It helps with the need to "feel" it. I used it everyday for 100 days. then it slowly wasn't needed. BUT I still at day 901 post up everyday and keep a can of fake in the office. Haven't used it in a year.

You have to avoid triggers and be prepared when they hit. You have to quit for you, not wife, girlfriend, dog....

You will experience fog, rage, doubt, fear, and all around pissy moods. It comes and goes. Post up everyday that you will not dip. Are you a man of your word? If so - post up "I will not dip today". Then keep your word. Then do it again first thing in the morning. It's hard but it's not hard.

You can do this.

Quitting can't be done until you really want to do it. Sounds like you have finally got your head in the right place.

To give you a little about my current dipping habits...I'll put a dip in, and spit it out 10 minutes later. And then I'll miss the feeling of that wad between my cheek and receeding gums. So I'll do it again. Sometimes I'll even put a dip in, decide i don't really want it, and spit it out.

Yep, that was me back in 2010. I would pack one as soon as I walked out the door (away from the kids), even if I was only running out for 2 minutes. I'd immediately wonder "WTH?". I got no enjoyment from it. Just a nasty addiction, plain and simple. That means you're ready.

I've been heavily addicted to other substances before (cocaine), and was able to quit cold turkey and not look back. The can has such a firm grasp on my life, I just can't do it alone. When I try to quit, my demeanor and attitude is so shitty and people hate being around me, that I always go back. Even I hate being around me when I'm not using.

Nicotine is one of the very hardest to break, but it's simple to do, really.
1. Post roll. (Promise not to use nic for 24 hours)
2. Keep your word.
3. Repeat.
Not easy, but simple. Follow the plan here and you'll succeed.

Any advice, words of wisdom, local groups, and suggestions as far as things like accupuncture/hypnosis are GREATLY appreciated. Hopefully I'll post my Day 1 and roll call soon.

Why are you waiting? Post roll right now. This is day one as long as you dump any remaining nic you have.

Remove the word "hopefully" from you vocabulary. There is no hope, try, or any such shit. There is "QUIT", and there is "NOT QUIT". Pick one. I know what my status is, and I'll be here tomorrow posting roll tomorrow.
