I had my last dip on Saturday 8/30/14.

I was never a super dipper, so to speak. I'd go through about a tin a week. I'd dip at work when stressed, and when working at home around the house, and naturally when drinking!!

I started with a little Mail Pouch when I started working for my Grandfather's general construction business. Little Levi Garret here and there. Then I quit for a while. Got my hands on my Uncle's wintergreen snuff. He insinuated I could swallow the juices... So after I got done violently puking I didn't touch snuff (wintergreen especially) for years. Kept with the Levi garret for years and then in college I got dumb and picked up smoking and chewing. Quit smoking in my late twenties and kept chewing. Like I mentioned before I never got to a tin or half Tin a day - same with smoking. I was like a pack every 2 weeks. A tin every week or so. I never did both together, I alternated from day to day or week to week.

I've already broken one best practice rule by drinking while trying to quit. I didn't relapse, thank goodness for the herbal dip replacements. I think a lot of my issue is the oral fixation. I've done fasting for health and other reasons and I've been able to not dip (I don't consider it quitting) for weeks on end, but I always end up going back.

I've decided I've had enough. The wife (naturally!) has been wanting me to quit for quite some time. But, as we all know, I had to wait until it was my decision and not hers. She's not crazy about the "fake dip" but realizes it's a tool to greener pastures.

I was really unsure about joining (I've been lurking and reading up for a while - Awesome reviews on the dip alternatives guys!) but figured - ahhhh what the hell, right?!

Nice to be here.

Thanks,

The Professor

Pr0f, brother: just wanted to congratulate you for hitting the HOF today! You had a hell of a run, with many extreme challenges along the way ... and you kept your foot on the nic bitch's throat the entire time, I'm very proud of you bro!

It bears repeating (so I'll do it); enjoy today, enjoy looking backwards and seeing the journey and the accomplishment of this quit to date ... but then spin around, put your head down and continue on. You know you are not cured. We want you around these halls for a loooongggg time brother. Proud to quit with you every damn day!
Yes, enjoy your day today and see you at +1 tomorrow.
HOF is a great first milestone! Congrats. Stick around with us. I hear there are many more to come.
Solid 100 days of quit pr0f; it's a quit many of us can learn from and take something away. Stay active and never let your guard down. Congrats on this huge achievement
Congrats Prof, 100 days is great. Don't forget what helped you get to 100, it will be the same things that will get you to 200, 300, and beyond.

Haha, I agree about the "rite of passage learning how to navigate". I was foggy and out of it the first 4ish days. Posting roll would get me so pissed off, but I wanted to be quit and I wanted to make my promise. Ahh the good ol days... 78 days ago. shocker

Prof if you make (posting roll) a part of your daily routine you'll find ways to post roll every day. Sorry the interface is awkward, I kind of think it's a rite of passage learning how to navigate. If you could promise to quit by pushing one button, your promise has a lot less weight than if you have to go through seven steps to promise. Good luck here. This site has been the difference between me being quit and me living with that shit in my cheek.

I believe Kakao is a chat app, it wonÂ’t help you navigate this site (to the best of my knowledge). Just access site through smart phone's internet, you can post roll from a phone.
