Tony - Glad you are here.   I too was a 30 year dipper, I'm on day 43 of quit.   I am sooo glad to be away from it.   For me having fake dip has been very important because I've had that shit in my lip for 30 years.  Don't be afraid to use the fake stuff.  Best thing is to connect with folks here.   Read everything you can and come back several times throughout the day and read again/more stuff.   drink lots of juice, water, no alcohol...   get some seeds, mints, suckers.  

Then post up every morning - I will not dip for the day.  Then keep your word.  If you keep your word the folks here will support you.  If you cave, you have to answer to this group.   I recommend staying quit!!   If you need to vent, whine, cry, bitch.... contact one of us.   You can also just post how your feeling.   This place has seen/heard it all.   Use the resources and listen to the vets.

PM me if you want my contact.   I'd be happy to help your support.   You are like me, in your 40's and stupid enough to dip for 30 years!   :rolleyes:

Let's quit.    I quit with Tony today!

The fake stuff is great. The good thing about it is, one day you will wake up and you will no longer need it. I was able to ween myself off of it rather quick like. I think I weened off it around day 60. Some people go on for months and some go on for longer. I think one is just feeding the oral fixation at that point, but for now, stick w/ the fake stuff. It helps and it works if you keep w/ this site! I'm quit at day 97 with you guys!

Congrats on the best choice you could have made!

Remember to drink lots of water and cranberry juice (the real stuff, not the all sugar crap). It will help!

And no matter what, DON'T CAVE! You get a craving, you come here and read/post or you call one of your brothers and they will talk some sense into you.

Day 2...Thanks to all of those who responded to my initial post yesterday. I can tell that there is plenty of support available here. I am still learning where to go and how to post on here....Still not really sure how to do it. But I did not cave yesterday and am not planning on giving in ever again. Am feeling a little light headed today though. Nothing serious but isn't normal either....looking forward to tomorrow day 3. Am utilizing that mint snuff.....actually works.....
Tony - go to the Welcome Center - read post number 3 - how to post. You are in the Nov group. Post up in there so you can meet people. Hang in there. You've made a great decision to be here. Post, keep your word and before you know it you will get thru the fog, rage, and become the man you should be. It gets a lot better and you get alot stronger as it goes. BUT you have to keep your word. If you still have trouble posting, PM me, (reply to this thread - someone will see it), or contact one of the vets.

Now your challenge - can you find thru the fog of quit the november group and post your name? :)

I quit with Tony today

Man, if you aren't ready till noon, I get it. But you really need to hear how that sounds. "I am going to keep poisoning myself for just a few more hours since I am such a weak bitch that I can't stop until I get just one more fix.
Don't give this shit so much power. It is killing you and you are going to let it becasue it feels so damn good.

Tony, you can do this! There are a lot of good peeps here that really do give a shit and want us all to be able to kill this beast. Lean on us and we will be there for you.

Edit: Good for you mate! you poured it out as I was typing

You are correct and THANKS. Just poured out my new can...just watched it clog the sink just as it has clogged my brain for the past 30 years. It has begun.

Noon Today
« on: July 26, 2010, 10:41:00 AM »
New to the site but at Noon today the first day of the rest of my life begins. Can contents will be poured into the sink. I have been dipping since age 14 and am now 44. 30 years of wasted cash. Dipped Skoal andCopenhagen for the first 31 years then moved to Grizzly fine cut natural because it was cheaper...what a joke I am...I will need help any encouraging posts from and Hall of Famers will be appreciated. Non dippers will not understand what I am about to go through. You all will and do. Let's get it on.
