When you quit for 6 months that showed that you have the guts to quit. When you started up again, that shows you lacked a plan.

We've got the plan. Congratulations on your decision.

I see the Hope topic has been covered already so the question is are you ready for this ?

Read the information that was sent to you.. it will get you started. Then come here each day and get it done. Simple as that.

Welcome to the site.... now lets get busy !!

4 responses within ten minutes. From some very heavy hitters I might add.

You can't buy support like this.

Do. Or do not.

Welcome and congrats on the best decision of your life. Post roll everyday and repeat.

Don't think about tomorrow, next week, next year...or how long you've been quit. Just focus on staying quit today.

You can do this, brother!!!

Good afternoon, I've been dipping about 7 years, 1+ cans per day. Started with skoal apple, pouches, moved to long cut, tried every flavor for at least a month or more. I will try not to bore you but I hope that this introduction also helps me come to terms that I actually just dumped 2 tins in the trash can, and I am ready to quit.

I started dipping when I was 18, stationed in Newport, RI at the United States Naval Academy Prep School. I had a beautiful girlfriend. It started slow, a tin a week maybe. But it gradually got worse and worse. A year later, forward to USNA, Annapolis, MD. I am dipping a tin a day. spending every penny I made for the month buying dip. I am an addict. My girlfriend of course didnt like it. My son was born and i swore I'd quit, but i couldnt. I would watch him, and as soon as he fell asleep I'd pack a fatty. so big my lip would hurt from stretching. Dip for hrs... fwd another year, she gets tired of the dip, the lack of a free hand to hold while driving because I had to hold my spitter and the steering wheel. Tired of the "h/o a min i gotta go pack a dip" and the stinky breath, the nasty spit. Shes gone... with my son. All b/c of dip? I doubt it, but definitely a contributing factor.

Fwd a few more years, I am home working full time as a Firefighter, part time as a paramedic. The other FF on my crew dips. its great its dandy we dip together. I met my Chief's daughter, and figured she wouldnt like a guy who chews, so I quit... 6 months later out of nowhere back to dipping. a major failure since i was already clean 6 months. what the fuck. fwd 2 yrs, she has no clue I dip, i only do it at work, and at home when Im not with her. talk about paranoia... I am constantly double checking my room, my truck making sure there is no dip, there is no spitter laying around. It sucks.

Fwd to today. My partner, who also dips, has been sick and says "ya know Im really thinking bout quitting, I only dipped once this whole weekend" good for him, meanwhile I have already killed half a tin and its only noon... he goes to take a shit comes back and gives me his tin. says "fuck it im done" talk about motivation, I mean if this guy has the balls to quit, no reason I shouldnt.

FWD right now, this very moment... I dumped 2 tins in the trash and finally said fuck it, this time its for me. im tired of the spitting, the urge to dip before even getting out of bed, and the urge to dip right before bed. the dipping after every meal, the dipping after a work out. the dipping in the car... if i wasnt asleep or eating I was dipping. i'm done. Hopefully its not too bad, my 6 month stint was great, just upped and quit... until i was put under stress 6 months in and I caved. Well now I found this place, and with my partner quitting we have each other. wish me luck. today is a new day, a new life.

Vince, welcome

Couple things you need to get straight real quick. This isnt about luck or hope or try. Luck is for leprachauns, Hope is a fat chick from high school, and try is an weaklings excuse to fail.

There is no try... Quit or don't quit, but don't try. a try is an attempt. Attempts can fail, DO. Grit your teeth and do it. It is only as hard as you choose to make it. Congratulations on your decision to take back your life.
