Nic free dip or no?

[wastepanel]

We got your back man. All you got to do is ask.

Be strong, and I'll look for you on roll today. Be strong, and do this for you.

[Nolaq]

Bro. We've been back and forth.

You GOT this! We can do this together. That is no bullshit.

I know what you're talking about man. That's what makes us for real. I won't lie to you. I won't play dumb games. My number one mission is to stay Quit. My number two mission is for YOU to stay Quit.

Lean on me bro. I can bear the strain.

Well I kicked alcohol about 4 months ago,lost 30+ lbs in less than 4 months but there was a Wolf in the room I didn't want to acknowledge.I started dipping when I was 19 that's been about 15 years ago.I never saw the issue with dipping,I knew you could get cancer from the stuff but like many users I convinced myself it wouldn't happen to me.Well thankfully it ain't happened but I wanna quit while I'm ahead,using tobacco is like playing Russian roulette by yourself.I am 34 in a couple months and I have 2 beautiful little girls(37)they keep me in line pretty good.I just got sick of going to my girls school events and having to be worried about where I can spit or thinking, Man I wish this would hurry up I want a dip.I want to show my girls you can't let anything whup you in this world.I plan on quitting everyday for as long as I'm around this ole earth.

You have the motivation. You have the desire. You have the balls.

Now everyday you wake up and decide, "today, I'm not using nicotine"

Odaat brother, you got this. There's a difference between want and need

I'm in the no fake dip camp. I know my tiny brain well enough to know that it'd be a little too close to the real thing. I feel like I need a complete mental and physical separation to make this work long term. Seeds are as close as I'm gonna get for now. Hope to keep it that way. YMMV.

And yeah I was a wintergreen guy Timberwolf Longcut

[John_the_Revelator]

Thanks after doing a little looking around and researching it a bit I think I'm gonna at least give the fake stuff a shot.Its kind of hard to find around here though.Might order some from the store.And yeah exercise def helps I just need something to get me through the hard hitting craves that usually come after eating or when I sit down to play my PS4 at night after the wife and kids are asleep.I really appreciate all the input guys

I never even knew about herbal dip until today when I seen it on the counter of a convince store I was at this morning. It said "Nicotine Free/Tobacco Free" so I picked some up.
Smokey Mountain was the brand. And the couple different flavours I tried tasted almost identical to the real stuff.
It helped make the day easier.

I used Smokey Mountain for roughly my first 50 days of being quit. I tried the Classic, Wintergreen, and Arctic Mint....Although I always came back to the Classic flavor. Utilize these safe alternatives early in your quit. Now days I don't use fake shit, just a few sticks of gum throughout the day. But early on....Smokey Mountain was a saving grace. Use it for as long as you feel necessary. Quit w/ you today!

Going into day 3 and just picked up the smokey mountain wintergreen and fricking love it. Wallmart. It ain't the real stuff, but the herbal stuff has come a looooong way since it first came out!

[jayd41]

fuckin love nic free dip...hooch baby! only way to fly...jayd41--day 99

[Landdon]

Gum, Jolly Ranchers, and Seeds were for me. Along with lots of water, and running. I think for my first 4 days I was running twice a day!. WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO TO PREVENT FROM PUTTING IT IN YOUR MOUTH.

I've been on Jack Link's Jerky Chew since my quit, my mentality was to get as far away from the chew look/taste while satisfying the oral fixation thing. It's nice to be able to just chew it up or give it to my dog when I'm done with it, and it looks nothing like chew in my teeth. As others have said, whatever it takes to keep that nic bitch out of your lip! Time will tell, but I'm pretty sure no one ever died from jerky (except maybe a few who were Messin' with Sasquatch).

[Seven]

I've been using Hooch and Smokey Mountain..neither taste much like Cope, but they do feel similar. I say worry about the nic now, let's take care of the oral fixation later.

Hooch is very sweet, almost turned my stomach at first, but i've gotten used to it. It also has cayenne pepper so that you feel a bit of a burn.

Smokey Mountain Wintergreen is not bad, if you were a Wintergreen guy. I can't comment on any of the other Smokey Mountain flavors.

John,

I use Bacc-off straight. closest thing to cope in terms of cut and packing I have found...not too bad with a little cayenne pepper in it either (thanks Joe C). It's not habit forming, so shouldn't be problem, but if it helps you get over the oral fixation thing. Others have opined it's too close to the real thing for them. Guess it's one of those things that you have to decide for yourself.
