I'm J-Dawg from Mississippi.
After 2 or 3 failed attempts to kick the nic to the curb, I finally got the balls to take it all the way this time. I started dipping "full-time" on my 18th birthday, so I've only been at it almost 6 years. I never intended (ha, haha) for it to take control of my life like it did. I'm tired of constantly worrying about sores and my lip falling off. I'm tired of my girlfriend of 5 years (hopefully soon to be fiance) begging me to quit and me constantly disappointing her. I'm tired of having the high blood pressure that nicotine can help facilitate. I finally just had an epiphany last week and told myself I'm ready to quit. FOR REAL this time. I think I've got it this time, too. As I type this, I'm sitting at my house... just me and my dog... my roommate is gone for the week and the gf just left to go to Tennessee until Sunday. I'm BORED out of my mind. Yet I don't have a dip in. Normally, this would be prime dip time (especially since I'm having a brew, too). I just keep telling myself if I can get thru this... it'll be FOR REAL.
Anyway, glad I found this site. I knew there'd be a forum for folks going thru the same crap I am. I'm looking forward to putting the years of Wolf Wintergreen and Grizz Straight/Green/Mint behind me to benefit my health, relationships and wallet.
