Hello Everyone,
I've been a 1 can per day dipper for the last 10 years. I started when i was 16, I think the longest i've gone without a dip since then was maybe a day or 2.
Last week i decided to make my first attempt at quitting, I went 3 days with no tobacco, I was using mint snuff to satisfy the urges, and it was truly working. I believe i set myself up for failure though, I decided to try and quit 3 days before a family wedding. So after a few beers i was off the wagon and dipping. Well today I am quitting for good.
Im so tired of being a slave to nicotine. Everyone is telling me to be aware of what triggers my urges. I feel like everything does, I only took a dip out to put a fresh one in. Somewhere along the last 10 years i managed to learn how to never spit. So i could do it literally anywhere. College, work, home, I feel like im completely changing my life as I know it, I've never in my adult life been without nicotine.
I've been married for 2 years, my wife and I are about to start trying to have children. She was a pack per day smoker for 10+ years as well, and is nearly 1 month without a cigarette. Shes my motivation, not to mention the whole baby thing.
Well i hope to get to know some people in this community and cant wait to read some more success stories.
