I knew that topic would get your attention......and everytime I hear it all I can think about is Will Ferrell in a robe with nunchucks around his neck yelling at Owen Wilson in Wedding Crashers - What the F Do You Want!

What I want is to introduce myself and, of course, quit dip. So here it goes.....

Hi everyone, my name is Damion (aka scoobs - no I don't have 666 on my head) and I have dipped for 21 years. Started with Skoal, then went to Kodiak and finally Grizzly. Now, its HOOCH for 11 days and counting.

I don't want to die, bottom line. Of course, no one wants to die, but I don't want to kill myself. I want to die old, of natural causes, with my face in tact and hopefully all of my teeth. I want to watch my kids grow and stay young with my wonderful wife. I don't want sneak around or make an excuse so I can go off and have a dip. I no longer want to feel the guilt and sadness associated with this habit.

Guilt, knowing I was choosing dip over precious family time and sadness knowing that my fate is death if I continue. These past 11 days have been amazing to me and I have learned a lot about myself and how happy I can be without chew. I have noticed, after the first 72 hours of course, a huge difference in my outlook on life. I feel alive for the first time, alive in the sense that I am living life and not going through the motions, waiting for death.

I look forward to this journey with everyone. I'm sure I will make a lot of new friends over the next days, weeks, months and years to come. Thanks to everyone for the support over my first few days. I hope I can do the same for newbies to come.
Welcome Scoobs. I can relate to your story. Choosing dip over my wife and family has almost cost me my marriage of 18 years. Life will be better without dip. My wife has noticed a big difference in me since i quit and we are on the road to recovery. I am no longer distant and pre-occupied with dip all the time. Unfortuamtely i am craving a lipper now but writing this post will make it pass. Let's tackle the nic bitch together. Good Luck and post often.

Ephesians 4:29-32

CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit. After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco. SportDad 1/13/05 via Remshot

Welcome again. This site is loaded with information, entertainment and most importantly support. Read everything you can. Post what's going on with you. Post roll everyday early giving your word of honor that you will not dip that day, no matter what. Then do it again the next day. One day at a time.

If you havn't found it already, live chat is in the upper right corner of your screen. Head on over and say hello.

Stay quit. You can do this.
