Need help

[Mike from AB]

Welcome Hoff  thankyou for serving too. I'm enjoying Hooch classic now, if the fake herbal stuff gets you through  helps you out, go for it. Like BGSU said, it's just day by day to get some more time  healing in under your belt.

It's great you're going to quit!! First things first though: THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. YOU ARE TRULY A BAD ASS, SO I KNOW YOU CAN QUIT!

I use smokey mountain wintergreen, it isn't the same, but it gets me through the days considering im only on day 4 of my quit..... but hey, we'll go day by day and start piling up the weeks/months/years!

I think the fake dip has it's place. I used 4 cans and then never went and got any more.

I graduated to beef jerky after the fake and went through 6 bags of that.

I then went to gum and chewed it for about 5 days.

Now my mouth and lip are just empty 99% of the time.

It is amazing how quickly I got use to an empty lip as I dipped 100% of the time.

Hi, I am in the military and trying to quit dipping. It is really hard to do as most of your know, expecially when you are deployed. I have been dipping for 17 years. Is there anything out there to help take the place of dip? Anything all natural? I think most of it is just having something in my lip. Any help would be great... Thank you.

Hoffdawg,
As many have pointed out there are several alternatives. Here are a couple more that do work:
* whole coffee beans (takes some getting used to)
* tea bags
* bubble gum
* life savers mints

I am not sure what branch of the service you are in, but none of us ever tried anything while training or AD deployed. DO IT!

There is no doubt in my mind that if you can b=make it through basic with the physical and mental games that you can do this.

Sunflower seeds are my main crutch but I used back-off for the first couple weeks. Bubble gum hard candy whatever. Punch yourself in the balls or bite yourself, these are better options than putting poison in your gob... Read everything on KTC, throw your poison out, post roll promising not to use for 24 hours (you can do that), and keep your word. Simple. Not easy but simple.

Welcome to the sight. Thank you for your service. Here is a link to check out.

You are addicted to one of the most addictive drugs known to man, so the fake will help a little, but don't expect it to be the cure. The only cure for withdrawals and symptoms of quitting is TIME. The more time you go without nicotine the better you will feel and the easier it gets.

If your able, go to welcome center, top left. Read, read, and read. A lot of good information on this site to help you quit. It also helps more than you can imagine to have support and that's what this site is all about. In the welcome center read and learn how and why we post roll. Pay particular attention to why. Hope to see you posting roll soon.

Enough trying brother,,, lets quit. Its up to you if you ever put that filthy disgusting poison in you pie hole again. Glad to be quit with you.....

Some situations seem to make quitting more difficult. Don't let your lifestyle turn into an excuse. You're stronger than that. Quitting among adversity proves you to be more of a badass than the victims around you who are still using nicotine.

I never used fake, because honestly I was tired of everything related to tobacco. Tired carrying and constantly checking for my can. Tired of the shit in my mouth all the time. Tired of a spit bottle. Tired of looking like an idiot with my lip pooched out. Fake dip wasn't even an option for me, but I know folks here who were saved by it. Your choice as long as there's no nicotine in it.

My personal crutch was sunflower seeds. Lot of sunflower seeds and water.

Hoffdawg, Thank you for being over there and doing what you do!
Quitting anywhere just plain sucks, don't give yourself any excuses just do it and get it done!
I didn't use any fake chew but did hit the seeds and gum pretty hard and it helped.

[Winter Green]

Your making the right choice coming in here bud. Like my partner said, this isn't a place to try. We quit here!!! And welcome you to quit with us one day at a time. You can do this.

Hey Hoff. First off, don't try, just do. Yes, it will be very difficult, but you have plenty of support here. Click on the welcome center in the top left corner and read how to post roll. A lot of people here like to use Smokey mountain or hooch but I don't have any experience with either. If you need anything just shoot me a pm.
