Robcat,
Firstly, welcome to the Fraternity. I'm Jim; nicotine-clean since 11/11/2016.
Now, on to your quit. I understand that others get success from using fake dip. Personally, I see no need for it. Is fake dip injurious to health? We don't know that one way or the other. Since I don't want to be a guinea pig, I'll lay off the fake dip. Did you know that all plant material contains carcinogens? It's not just tobacco. Is that coffee dip giving you cancer? We don't know; there aren't enough people dipping coffee for us to study.
It's my personal opinion that everything dip-related has to go. You don't need any of that; you want it. Two different things.
I believe a quit has to be no compromise in order to be a true quit. No compromise with the Nicodemon. No fake stuff. Nothing. Just dump all dip and move on. Stay away for life, one now at a time. I found success in distilling the One Day At A Time (ODAAT) concept down to the infinitely short length of time called 'now'. It was now when I wrote this; it'll be now when you read this. So I never use nicotine now. Later, maybe...but not now. Hence, my mantra - Never Nicotine Now - which I use whenever I get a crave. NNN!
That's it for now. I hope to hear from you again. Are you posting roll? Your group is here:
