Ambiguity, I am 45, and quitting dip has been in the top 5 of hardest things I have done, so you are not alone.

I faced my first solo weekend a long way into my quit, but I was still prepared and even jumped on LIVE chat here that weekend. I would suggest getting as many quitters phone numbers as you can between now and your free weekend, and do not hesitate to text when a crave hits.

You got my digits brother. Don't be afraid to text me if you need to kill the urge for a few minutes. I am right here in the same boat with you. All you have to do is quit for today.

Don't worry, you got this 'Sno'

My wife sent me a text the other day... asking if I minded if she worked out of town first 2 weeks of November. Guess what crossed my mind?! I think I can resist as I would totally fuck my progress doing the hardest thing (I think) I have ever done in my life.

Thanks guys! This anxiety is putting me in such a fog, which totally sucks. I used to have this anxiety while I was using... but as you'd expect... it lasted until I had the next chance to get some dip in. I saw hawks "i'm healthy excuse"... I used to say the same thing and I know it's BS. My wife always asked why I work out and eat healthy and still put that shit in my mouth?

Days have been going aiite lately... mornings seem fine (no cravings)... just the periodic cravings (at work, while driving), but no where near strong enough to force me to go buy some dip.

Making it a week on your own officially earns you the badass title. I have no doubt you are quit. You need to believe it yourself. Learn to hate tobacco and all that you let it do to you through the years. Why do you think hawk caved today after days? He romanticized it. "all cowboys dip if you want to be included".

BS. Tobacco has done nothing for us other than stealing our money and time with our family. Stick with it man.

Great work 3 weeks is a solid start!
I am in the same boat, I worry constantly, examine myself with a flashlight and a mirror.
Make sure you make a dentist appointment, tell them about your quit and worries, they will give you a good look over.
I find posting on my intro helps relieve my stress and worries,
Stay strong and keep it up, ODAAT

Too much anxiety
« on: October 14, 2014, 06:55:00 PM »
Hi Everyone,

I never posted an intro so I figured better late than never. It's been 3 weeks since my last dip. I used for 13 years, most of which was a 1 tin to 2 a day (grizz straight on the left, grizz wintergreen on the right side... all b/c of superstition... sad?). Initially, I had no intentions of quitting - it was just something I always told myself I should do before it catches up to my stupid ass. Sad, but now I realize how stupid I was and how much control it had over my life. I am glad I have my head on straight now and quitting with all of you. No more trying to get to the store b4 they close, checking how much dip I had to get me through the day, etc. Granted the first few days were foggy, but I had the support here that I needed (some digits and even Live Chat). Only thing I deal with now is a shit ton of anxiety over how much damage I have done to myself.

Thanks all!
