This my first time to post on this site. I have used the KTC info to help motivate myself. But I just now joined the forum. I dipped for over 15 years. Ive always had an excuse not quit. Too busy, too stressed, too bored. But after i completed my master's degree. I knew my excuses had run out. About a month ago. I started cuttin back. I'd wait an hour after waking up to put in a dip, then an hour before bedtime I wudnt dip. The cutting back went from there. Then on march 25th I spit out my last one. The first few days were like having the flu. But in other ways I felt better within 48 hrs. I noticed I didn't need heartburn medicine. My throat felt clearer. Honestly, I didn't tell my wife until about 4 days dip free. Like you said on the site, I get irritated just talking about quiting with her. She has been supportive since, but I feel like its me vs. the grizzly. My cravings are still very real and often but I have confidence now. I know I can do it with prayer. My father died of cancer. I believe smoking contributed to his death. Not only did he suffer so much so did our family. How can I go back down that road? I owe It to God, my wife, the rest of my family, and even myself to beat this addiction!
