Hey guys CrazyBear here figured I'd tell you all a little about myself.
Started out dipping around 10th-11th grade getting cans of Skoal from some of the seniors. Then moved on to smoking for a bit since the Job I had basically only gave smoking breaks. Quit smoking about 8 months ago but just fueled the addiction with dip. I currently dip about 2 cans every 3 days or so. I right now dip when fishing, playing video games, driving, after meals, bored, etc.
I just ordered 12 of the NiP ice to help ease me through the process.
Why am I quitting?
First off it's expensive at $3-$4+ a can and averaging 4 cans a week it starts to add up.
Horrible for your health not just your mouth but throat, stomach, pancreas, kidneys, arteries, etc.
I'm going to be working in the medical field and everyone jokes about smoking nurses but not about the guy packing a chaw in the side of his mouth (most of us I assume were good at hiding it), but it's still the same kind of irony.
Anyways as soon as the Nip Ice comes in I'll start my quitting as I've tried before but the two things that always got the better of me was the Oral Fixation and the Irritability. Quite frankly I get weird feelings in my jaw that beg me to put a dip in and I become an asshole if I go longer than 4 hours without some nicotine in. I figured if I could satisfy 1 of the devils I can manage the other 1 better.
It's going to be hard though just doing even regular things since I 99% of the time have a dip in while driving or after meals, hell even in my dreams I have a dip in.
Anyways thanks for reading guys and I'll keep you posted on how it's going so far.
