A lot of great responses. Don't dwell on the past that you can't change. Concentrate on the NOW! I waited until my daughter was 12 to quit and I wasted a lot of time dipping and all that goes with it instead of with her and my wife.

Nice job quitting. Start thinking of a plan now for when you hit land again. Create some accountability with other quitters.

You can do this!

I was a selfish asshole before I quit. I would actually stop playing with my baby girl, get up, and walk away from her so I could take a dip. I lost time with my baby girl that I will never get back because I chose dip over my baby girl. That is horrible.
I hear that one loud and clear. I have to face the same chewer's remorse for the same loss of time. As a "closet" chewer, I too would give time to the nicbitch that I should have given to my two kids. Now be selfish for the time with your baby girl, and send the nicbitch packing instead.

Welcome to the site. It takes a strong mindset to quit nicotine. I believe that you can do it. Post roll everyday. Honor your word. Hold yourself accountable and others as well. Repeat success the next day. Read Read Read. Make some friends. You can do this. I know you can.

I wrestle with this one daily. The guilt can actually be consuming when I stop and think about all the times I put dipping ahead of being with my daughter and my wife.

Thought for today: a pound of cope lc is roughly $66.00.
Compare that to your favorite "luxury" food item.

Last night was testy. The hardest thing I'm dealing with right now is the physical habit of dipping. As long as i have the jerky to "dip" Im perfectly content. So question is how do you wean off of that?

On a good note:
This morning my supervisor said to me " I heard you are trying to quit dipping."
In a prideful and almost arrogant tone I responded, " No, I'm not TRYING to quit. I QUIT 18 days ago."
It felt pretty good. Fck that dip.
Welcome to the rest of your life. Congrats on quitting. Don't worry about trying to ween yourself off beef jerky. Use whatever you need to use right now. Protect your quit. Eventually you won't need the jerky. But for now it's much better to use jerky than to use poison. I used fake dip until day 60. No shame in doing what you need to do to stay quit. I quit with you today brother. Welcome.

You will discover a few horrible truths. Don't let them consume you. Turn the bad into good and move on. Use the truths to make a better you. Great job my friend, you have a great quit going. Your daughter is young enough she will forget you ever used!
The good news is that along with those horrible truths you're going to have some wonderful firsts with your daughter as well. Concentrate on those ... the moments where you realize "This is the first time I've done this without a dip in." That's the important shit ... that's the stuff that'll keep your ass quit. Proud of you man ... welcome to your quit, I'm quit with you!

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Great decision. I understand, I don't want to die earlier than I am supposed to either, leaving my beautiful wife and currently 7-year old son alone in this world. I quit 11 days ago after 23 years of chewing. Crazy, it feels like it was just a couple years ago my "friend" offered me my first dip at a Jr. high football game. Hang in there - we are quit together. You got this. You have to get this!
