Thanks for the intro counsellor - glad to have you here.  Use this intro thread as a running log - post here often and let everyone know how you're doing.  It ends up being something you can look back on - it'll help you remember (and not want to repeat) the whole process.  I can relate to the chain dipping.  Just before I quit I was noticing that my use was accelerating rapidly.  I was banging through a can a day which (compared to some of the people on this site, is nothing) was a lot for me.  Finally said fuck it once and for all.  Anyway, you're off to a great start - keep up the good work and keep in touch!
No offense B-Lo, but who gives a shit. I used to go through 2 cans a day because I would only leave a dip in for 10-15 minutes. A guy bummed a pinch off me at a poker game once. I had about 3/4 of a can at the time. Well, I finished the can, decided to get blinded out while ran to the store to get another can (can you say junkie?), came back, opened the new can and offered a pinch to the guy who bummed one earlier in the evening and he said "no thanks, still got the first one you gave me in" That was like 3 or 4 hours!!!

Bottom line is, it don't fucking matter if you were going through one can a day or a week. The shit hooked us, and we are trying to get unhooked.
No offense taken. I just never knew that dippers rolled like you all. Leaving a dip in for more than an hour was not something I did or knew anyone who did. Not disputing the quit just didn't sound right to me is all. Nuff said...
This has opened my eyes to how other people dipped (OPD). I am an addict to the enth degree and I had a dip in 3-4 hours a day and went through a can a day. I ninja dipped for 19 years so unless I was in the car or with my kids I have would a dip in for under 30 minutes. Every chance I got I had to dip. :ph43r:

I am the guy who squeegeed your window this morning.  JK
I am 46, a lawyer in the Inland Empire of California.  Have a wonderful wife and 2 teenage stepkids.  I have been chewing grizzly straight, (or any reasonable substitute) for about 10 years at 2 cans a week.  Kept thinking about quitting and as I noticed myself pretty much chain dipping the whole day I figured -time to quit.
First off great to quit with you , and great job getting into week two of your quit. Something doesn't sound right to me about your addiction though, and maybe it's a typo: I chain dipped a lot and my habit was 2 cans a day not a week! Maybe it was because I would get 4-5 dips out of a can with the "hey look at me!" fat wad horseshoes I would slap in, but if you were chain dipping and only going through 2 cans a week you would have been getting 30ish dips per tin!???! Forgive my disbelief if it was a typo, but honesty is key here so do not sugar coat your addiction. Realize that the nic bitch will rip your quit away if you ever let your guard down.
I typically only went through 2 to 2.5 cans a week and I always had a dip in my mouth I typically put one in around 7 spit it out around 11 went running over lunch then stuck another one in around 12 until 4- left one out until about 6 and left it in until 9 or so when I went to bed.

So, you see, the puppy was like industry, in that they were both lost in the woods. And nobody, especially the little boy - "society" - knew where to find 'em. Except that the puppy... was a DOG. But the industry, my friends, THAT was a revolution.

There are thousands of us that have been in the same boat brother. The day and year counts may be different but it's all portions of the same story. We are quitting with you, right alongside you, every day. It's a daily battle but it's also a daily victory. Stick around man... We gothcher back. Pm me if you need ANYTHING!!

Congrats on 10 days. I noticed your Twitter account a couple of days ago. Looks like KTC is already following you. That's all good. How about introducing your self (we're in the introductions section after all)?  All I know is that you're probably from California and you are probably not heavy set. I know more about the guy who squeegeed my windshield this morning (without asking!).

10 days into the quit. I have been lurking the site since before the quit, but decided to dive in. So far I am feeling pretty good about it. I started a twitter to just post how the quit is going @quittingchew Feel free to follow.
What's your story, sunshine?

How old are you? How long you been slowly committing suicide? Why do you want to quit?

Glad you stopped lurking, but tell us a bit more about yourself. Paint us a picture.
