Hi I am new here and have been dipping since I was 17 and Im now 44 damn that's a long time. I need to guit and I know it. My gums are shot my teeth are a mess and I probably have a dip in 10 hours out of the 13 I am awake. Another scary thing is I have been swallowing it for years. I am glad I found this website I am gonna need it. I have a few questions AND I HOPE THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE TO ASK IF NOT PLEASE HELP ME GET IT RIGHT. I AM STARTING MY QUIT ON MARCH 1 2013 SO I TRIED TO FIND A QUIT GROUP BUT iM LOST.I decided to stop because I know this will eventually do some bad things to my body if it already hasn't and I want to stop for my son who has been asking me for years to stop. But I am stopping for me and another good incentive is my mom said she would give me a 1000 dollars if I can make 100 days so that will help. Well I will have lots of questions and need lots of help and I ordered two sample can of rocky mountain snuff to try and also I was wondering If nicotine patches help and what I can do to make this as easy as possible. So this newbie is ready and I will be asking lots of questions. Looking forward to quitting and I know this wevbsite will help a lot.
Thanks for listening to my ramble

Hey, lighten up on this poor guy!
Didn't you read his intro title? He said he is going to make "A SERIOUS ATTEMPT TO QUIT."
BS. TOTAL BS.
First, There is no ATTEMPTING to quit here. Either you are or you are not. There is no room for "I tried, but it was too hard." This isn't today's rec baseball program where everyone gets a trophy for simply showing up on day one and then again at the banquet.
Second, if your name is indicative of you drinking a lot, better put that in check right up front because drinking is one of the great destroyers of QUIT.
Thirdly, as was pointed out, this is a NO NICOTINE site - NONE. Cold turkey quitting or get out. Don't even post again until you are a quitter. Waiting until March 1 is just another sorry excuse to keep using. You think there is something magical going to happen between today and then? You gonna miraculously find some integrity or intestinal fortitude somewhere between now and then?
Finally, it's a shame to know that you value your life so little as to think it is only worth a lousy $1,000. Shit, I have to pay my ex wife that much every two weeks and live on less than that every month after paying my bills and I certainly wouldn't agree to go back to dipping if you gave me all that money back. Why is that what you're willing to quit for? You yourself already said your health is shot. Why don't you get out of bed more than 13 hours a day and take pride in yourself and your life and quit for the right reason - FOR YOU.
Your choice. Your decision. Your life. BUT THESE ARE KTC RULES TO LIVE BY.
Maybe we'll see you around. If we do, you'll have all of our support. YOU can do this if you want it.
