I just joined this site to seek help with quitting dip once and for all. I am 30 years old and have dipped for the better part of 15 years. I have quit for pretty long stretches in the past, but I continue to fall back into the nasty habbit. I quit for close to a year back in 2010, but have been back at it now consistently for a year and a half. I have tried all the usual quitting methods on multiple occasions and I haven't been able to stop for good. I will say that I am done and then will be out with friends, see someone else chewing and I rationalize having "just one more." I realize now that I need support from others who have gone through the same challenges.
I have gotten to the point where I am hidding dipping from my wife - on the golf course, on work trips, etc. We are expecting our first child in mid-October and I know I can't contnue on this path or it will only mean bad things for my family and myself.
I think a lot about if quitting now is already too late...have I done this garbage too many times in my life where I have something that I just don't know about yet? Obviously this is no way to go through life.
I really admire all of you already on this site who have quit and look to help others. My goal is to do the same as I give up this habbit for good.
Thanks and all the best to you out there!
