It's not gonna be any easier to quit than to hide. I'm concerned that the companies policy is more of a motivator to quit than your desire. Prove me wrong, but I've seen way to many addicts come here with really good intentions of quitting only to fade away and cave. I'm in no way trying to discourage you but rather stimulate in you added boost to get your quit going. I have quite a bit of understanding of this process. I hid my addiction from everyone for over 40 years and most of that time I really wanted to quit but just couldn't do it. 687 days ago I found my lifesaver, KTC and have quit every day since. I challenge you to commit to posting roll 100% for 100 days, help other quitters, reach out and get numbers of others and drink the koolaid.

You got the general idea in posting, just incorrect format.  Look in the WELCOME CENTER, lots of gems in there.  3 simple rules:
1. No nicotine in any form
2. Post roll every damn day
3. Repeat

Read around here, the first 4 days are the worst, it is what it is and unfortunately, it's your fault.  But, we're all big boys and girls here, we can do this.  Explain to your significant other why you might be acting a bit out of sorts in the near future.  The truth will set you free.  Proud to have you with us in May, welcome aboard!

p.s.  Don't go it alone, reach out to others on this forum.

Smoot, you came to the right place. Slug.go laid it all out for you. He's a great quitter and he is in your quit group. It's a simple recipe, follow the path. If you follow it faithfully you will succeed. Come clean with your wife too, she'll be your biggest supporter.

Congrats on quitting!!
Welcome and congrats on a great decision. Be sure to read as much as you can. You will be surprised at how much info you will learn how valuable those little tidbits will be as you go thru your quit day by day.
Smoot-I don't have much to add. My brothers and sister below have set you on the only path I ever found to stay quit. Heed their words. They know what they are talking about. I can tell you that one of the best things ( there are a ton of them) about quitting dip is that you can finally end all the lying and sneaking around. Just part of the freedom that is waiting for you.

Last time I quit
« on: February 14, 2014, 02:18:00 PM »
Good afternoon all,
My name is Sean and this is my second attempt at quitting. I guess lucky for me the new company I work for has a strict no tobacco policy and even though the past couple months I have been sneaking chew its hard and has made me constantly paranoid. Its going to be so much easier to just not dip and not worry about getting written up. I have been dipping a large chunk of my life. Recently I started noticing my 1 can of dip a week had turned into 1 a day in fact I wasn't making it a hour between dips without headaches. Its come to a head I'm done this poison has taken over my life.
According to my fiance I haven't dipped in 2 years little did she know that under the front seat of my car was a can calling my name. I was always able to hide keep a tab on my emotions during the weekend knowing that the agitation was just my body trying to get me to dip on the days I spent with her. I found myself getting haircuts one week after another or having to help my parents with more home projects than any elderly couple could possibly hope for. I'm done lying to people.
