Well here I go again ... I have been dippin since 10th grade because it was just too hard to hide dip at school and all the other countryboys was doin it and I didn't want nobody thinking I was a wuss. Now here it is 9 years later I'm 25 now, I've tryed to quit hundreds of times. First I was prayin to God , if u give me this or that then ill quit just to end up failing again. For me it's not hard to quit the first few hours but then u hear that country song or see an ole boy at the lake with one in and then ur mind starts sayin " we'll if u don't dip ur not country" that's hard cause if ur anything like me. I'm super proud of bein country. Anyways a few months ago I had been quit for about 3 months, I felt great , I wasn't out of breath when I ran I could do push ups like a champ I went to bed early and got up early . I had loads of energy and the little lady loved it cause my sex drive seemed to come back in full stride. I moticed that my teeth were even starting to turn that pretty white that there supposed to be, But then my unit in fort Campbell ky sent me down south for training, I found myself away from my wife , in a place that was just horrible and there was no way to dip at all, good right? Nope my buddy passed me with a cigarette one day and I thought " I'll just do these untill I get home " " I mean I'm so stressed down here ' I deserve it right" . Big mistake ... That was a couple months ago , yesterday I decided to quit again and it's been almost 12 hours ... I just keep wondering can I really do it ? I can't wait till day 100 so I can look at those cans in the store and say " I'm not ur bitch anymore Copenhagen" . Sorry I needed to get that out I'm new, so if this post is in the wrong place or anything feel free to inbox me and explain how it works , I can take advice I never really posted on a forum before. Anyways I hope to get to know some of u fellow quiters and its good to know I'm not alone. Thanks for listening.
Welcome and thanks for your service. You are in good company here bro.

Follow the Welcome Center link in the upper left and read. Read it again. Pay close attention to #4. #4 make the difference between slave and clean.

Then head over to Quit Groups and join the October group by executing #4 on Roll Call. You will be swarmed with people reaching out to help.

You can do this bro. It ain't easy, but you can do it..

Addicts, non-addicts, general population it doesn't matter I see a resounding similarity. Over the past months I've notice this one similarity, people are good. Sure we encounter the occasional ass but over all most people are good. The overwhelming majority of those coming here with a desire to overcome this all consuming addiction are concerned not only with their own well being but that of their fellow man. My faith and trust in mankind in general has been lifted because of the love I've felt by so many here. May my love and concern for each of you and your daily victory be felt by my actions.

Day 10 with no snuff, finally in the double digits.
Double digits is great, but more success will be had if you post roll everyday. I see that you posted the first time with the October 13' group on your day 6, and not since. That's not how things work around here.

Post Roll. Every Day. First Thing.

this is my first day quitting. i feel like crap my head hurts and im craving tobacco like crazy seeking out cans that are empty and sniffing them. I am trying all kinds of things to put in my lip to stop the craving. Beef jerky seems to work a lil bit but, not the same. My family just said its dinner time and i said softly that I wasn't hungry and im not i should be but, im not hungry just feel like being left alone and really angry and irritable. Feel very stressed out like my family doesn't really want to understand what im going thru. please can someone give me ideas on how to stop the cravings ?
Nothing is going to stop the cravings. Try getting some fake snuff, it helps but you are going to have to man the fuck up and fight through it. Days 1-3 are fucking hell, period. Im on day 9 with no dip and I will tell you I have very little cravings anymore, it will get better. Nothing is going to be the same as real snuff its just something that you are going to have to get through.
Drink lots of water and cranberry juice. Use sunflower seeds, red hot fireballs, fake dip. Every time you resist a crave and win you will get stronger and the craves will get weaker. When a crave hits do something to take your mind off of it and gradually it will ease.

But Nightmare is right. You need to man up and fight for your freedom during the first several days.

You can do it. We did!
