My only fear is that I'm never gunna get anything done now because I've associated dipping my everything in my life (except sex thank god).  I can't yet see how I'll accomplish anything without a dip.  I'm sure I'll have to relearn most everything.
I think that everybody here felt that way, believe me you will get stuff done, because that is one of the things that get you through. I found that facing the fact that I was having a crave, actually identifying it in my mind and verbaly talking to myself "This is a crave, I know what this feels like now - fuck you crave" and saying that verbally then concentrating on the task at hand really helped. This direct association with action vs feeling really got me through and still does.

You got it!! Brian's right, start making a list of all the shit you can do with a dip. I was the same way, i couldn't go get the mail without a dip in.
1. get mail
2. take a dump
3. walk the dog

on and on, soon your list will be as long as moa's imaginary johnson!

Cancer and Death will not work on your Time Table, why work on Theirs - Quit Today.
If you fail to plan, plan to fail.
The older I get, the better I was - made an even bigger improvment the day I quit dip.

I'm calling today day 2. I started the quit last Friday when I ran out and got some of those nicotine lazanges. Didn't have a chew all weekend and ran into this site on Monday. Read the advice on the nic replacements, that made sense to me, so I threw away everything I had. I've been cold turkey since yesterday.

This is my second quit. First time I got about 4 or 5 months in. Was great. No fake stuff, no nic supplements.  Was totally off it. One bad day at work, a little extra stress in my life got me back on it for a few more years.

All in all, been dipping since I was 17 and I just turned 30. Just sick of it. Sick of the hassel of always having to feed the cravings. Always having to run to the gas station. Always having spitters lying around the house, in the car, in my office. Always having to make sure I don't leave the house without the can because lord knows I couldn't make it through the day without tossing one in. Fuck it. I just want to be done.

My only fear is that I'm never gunna get anything done now because I've associated dipping my everything in my life (except sex thank god). I can't yet see how I'll accomplish anything without a dip. I'm sure I'll have to relearn most everything.

Even though I've already got a bunch of sores in my mouth, I was surprised to not have my mouth taste like a bag of shit when I woke up this morning. There's my first benefit of being quit.
Welcome aboard chucklehead!!

You've already made 3 kick ass decisions.
1. Choosing to Quit
2. Throwing out the lozenge
3. Finding this site

I'm not gonna lie to you, it's gonna suck.... just for a little while.
Then you will discover that you can do daily functions without a wad of shit in your face.

Things like:
getting out of bed without putting a dip in
taking a shower without putting a dip in
shaving without putting a dip in
shitting without putting a dip in
driving without putting a dip in
working without putting a dip in
chores around the house without putting a dip in
watching TV without putting dip in
LIVING YOUR FUCKING LIFE WITHOUT PUTTING A DIP IN !!!!!!!!

You already know the power of the NicBitch. She teases you into thinking that your stressed and could use a dip. Or that you can handle "just one".
You can't. Your an addict.

Join your group, Febuary, and post roll every day.
Enjoy the ride. You can do it, we are proof of it.

Brian

Congrats on making a great choice. Find your quit group, post roll, stay nic free all day, and repeat.

YOU will do this if YOU want to do this. You've taken the first step, let us help you with the rest.

"Yesterday + 1" is your new motto. You don't have to think about quitting forever, just focus on today...then repeat.

Read everything you can on this site. Read about the Kern family. You are fighting for your life right now...and the nic bitch doesn't give up easily. She'll tempt you with rationalizations and cravings...ignore that shit. Get back on this site, focus on your quit and you'll win.
