Hi all, my first post. I've been dipping for about 5 years, and in the last few years, I've avereged 6 dips a day. Here's the thing, I can go a full work day without one bit of the stuff so I don't think my problem is with nicotine withdrawl. No, I normally only dip when I'm sitting at the computer or in front of the TV. I think it's the getting used to having something in your lip and then nothing. Does anyone or did anyone have the same issue? Or am I going insane?
This is not a habit. It is a serious chemical addiction. You are addicted to nicotine. Period. Don't kid yourself. If you're not addicted, and you want to quit, why haven't you?
Sure, there is also an oral fixation, but that is an afterthought. If you think you aren't addicted to nicotine, quit cold turkey, but use any of the nic free fake dips (Smokey Mountain, Hooch, etc).
Step 1. Stop lying to yourself about your addiction.
Step 2. Post Roll (your promise not to do nicotine) in August group first thing in the morning.
Step 3. Keep that promise all day.
Step 4. Repeat.
