I quit today 1/6/2016

[Palpatine]

Archive of my Introduction from my first days of quit:

Dipping since I was 16 and am now 38.  Progressively gotten worse as the years went on with school, then work, then marriage, then kids.  But I'm not quitting for them but quitting for myself.  I've tried multiple times and even joined this site in September only to tell myself afterwards that I would just have one dip a day at night as I was going through a tin a day. 

So this is the time.  It needs to end.  I need to get rid of my triggers of when I'm driving to have a dip, when I'm on the toilet to have a dip, when I'm at a movie to have a dip, when I go fishing have a dip, when I'm with friends just having a few beers have a dip, etc.  I need to just go for a walk and get this out of my system.  It is time and I will just have to go about it hour by hour as I know in 2 hours and in 4 hours I'm going to want the dip when I drive home and tonight after everyone goes to bed to watch a little sports on TV and put in a dip.  It's time.  I've quit before for 20 days only to just think after that, "ehh...why not.  wasn't so bad I can have this in my life again"  I just need to stop it completely and save money and get rest and enjoy life not being a slave to when I can have a dip.

The time is now...and I will need your support.

Welcome to KTC Emperor Palpatine.  Or shall I address you without the "Emperor"?

You will never successfully remove all the triggers, but you can better prepare for them.

I used to dip when I fished, or worked, or walked or hell everywhere.  Find an alternative, use fake dip if you have to for some time.  Your addiction is both chemical and physical.  There are lots of sources of fake dip, and I can say that I used them for about a year and then just quit them with ease.  I still have an emergency can of fake with me at all times just in case too much life happens and I need an edge.  I am proud to say that I have not needed it and I am glad but I stay prepared.

Drinking lots of water helps as does exercise which you eluded to with the "taking a walk".  Pushups or situps work wonders too.  I also used cinnamon candies to help power through some days. 

Just remember that you are an addict because of your actions and decisions, never ever let the rage or cravings push you into taking that rage out on anyone else.  when it gets that bad find a punching bag or just run a mile.  Kick your own ass for a little bit.

Other than that get to know others on here, post roll daily and exchange phone numbers with other quitters as that takes your quit from a lonely keyboard punch into real world accountability.

Welcome

You can call me either or if you really want to go deep, call me Lord Sidious.

What is fake dip?  In all my years I've only resorted to sunflower seeds...never really knew there was fake dip.  Maybe the gas stations I go to don't have it as an option?  Seeds only give me a really salty and dehydrated mouth after a while so if there is another option to slowly ween my oral fixation away, let me know and if it is at a gas station or some other place that I can drive to in the twin cities.

Smokey Mountain is sold at Walmart.  I haven't seen any of the others, unless its online purchasing only.

Lord Sidious,
Sorry I should have been much more helpful and provided you with a link to the KTC location with reviews and links to online purchase of fake dip.
Smokeless Alternatives

The above bold and underlined text is a link to the KTC website, safe for work and not malicious.

As a matter of fact surf through that portion of the home site because it provides several little golden nuggets of information that will help you along the way.

I personally used Hooch and Teaza, but to each their own.  The Smoky Mountain is available at Wal-Mart, Casey's General Stores, King Soopers and a few other major retailers.

Keep in mind it is not dip and will never be exactly the same, but it stuffs in your lip and helps to trick the brain.

The time is now, and the suck will be exactly that, but we are here to help. Unless I was sleeping or in a work meeting, I always had a dip in my lip.  It's been tough because the trigger for me is literally just being awake!!!  So, I went to Walmart and bought some Smoky Mountain Wintergreen and that has helped a TON with the craving, but has done NOTHING for the suck of the fog and other crap that comes with the first few days.  But, we in April are here and ready to bring you on board.  Post roll, promise you'll quit with us for today and abide...We'll get there!
