Hey guys name cooper been dipping sense i was 15 now im all most 18 just need some help this is the 4th time i tired quitting and i want it to be the last its for the gf she doesnt mind it but i just feel it would be a nice thing to do for her. Because i learned somthing every one else doesnt like my thick dark spit as much as you do. Just looking for some help thanks you.

Hey Cooper. I recently found this site and I can tell you it works great. One thing I am sure you will hear when it comes to what you are talking about is that though you want to quit, you need a solid reason (more likely than just making the gf happy). One thing I can tell you is that you are already ahead of the curve when it comes to knowing you need to quit early. I have dipped for 7 years and others have dipped for decades. THe longer you dip the harder it gets I am sure you know.

You need to really think about the ups and downs of dipping. Sure it makes you happy, but think of 10-15 years down the line when you would literally chop off your nuts before you would stop dipping. It gets that bad. Imagine your future daughter at her wedding and no dad to have in her father daughter dance. Imagine if it happened even sooner than that and having your parents find out that you have to have your tongue removed. It is just a series of bad events that are bound to happen sooner or later.

The biggest thing for me.. is that I have tainted life. Because I dipped for so long, I can not imagine doing anything without it. Life has become plain. That scares the hell out of me and I am trying to find the light without dip. I am not trying to scare you or anything, but all of these things will become a reality just so you can have some shredded leaves in your mouth.

Read through the site. Join a quit group. You will be in mine if you do. YOu will have all the support you need to get quit. I am going to need it myself. But find a great reason to quit. And when you get a craving remember what that reason is. Hope this helped.

Where does MikeA hang out in here? I didn't see any groups called Blue Oyster or anything, but I know he's in here somewhere...

Pelican,

Might want to check and clean out the pockets on those fall and winter jackets. Last night I put on my fall leather jacket to go for a ride on the motorcycle. In one pocket was a round container. I was a bit nervous to look. Not that I would use it, but just didn't want to be that close to this crap. Turns out it was a left over can of Mint Snuff from last year when my mouth hurt so bad that I "took a break".

So it reminded me of two things:

1) Clean out those hiding places (might be interesting to hear where you all have hid this crap)

2) How stupid I was that instead of thinking I needed to quit last year because my mouth hurt, I just switched to mint so my gums could heal a bit.

This is OUTSTANDING advice. I was quit for over 2 years when I ran across a can in a shoebox in the bottom of my closet. Fucking mind of an addict hiding shit all over the house.

Never again for any reason...

Hey guys, I'm on the verge of quitting and plan on my first full day without dip to be tomorrow and let me say I am a little anxious about it....I've dipped everyday for the past decade and realize that for my sanity, health and kids, i need to quit.  I'm really looking forward to using this site to help in my path to being a quitter!!!
It's very assuring to see so many people on here battling with the same issues I do now and will face in the months to come.

Why don't you cancel the marathon dipping session you have planned for tonight and dump the can and quit right now. We are all quit with you tonight.

Awww c'mon MikeA...you wouldn't deprive a brotha from the last marathon dip session now would you?

Dump the can doosh.

LOOT is right. Dump the can!

You guys deprived it from me. If I can do it so can dipnomore which needs to be named dipsomemore tonight.
