Welcome aboard BARR! I'm in the same boat with you starting dip to quit smoking, and I'm also on day 4 of QUIT. But if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask anybody, everyone on this site is extremely helpful and motivational. Now off to the store to try and find some of that good ol' fake stuff!

Welcome BARR - as they said, read, post and do what the vets tell you. Use this site and you will find that your quit is much easier. Build a brotherhood with your quit team. How you ask? Post everday and keep your word. When you post, you are saying I will not use nic today. Then do it again the next day. Get contact info if you need to whine, vent, bitch whatever.... Just don't cave.

Glad you are here - I quit with BARR today

Welcome Barr,
This sight has been a great help to me over the past few days and I am glad you found it as well. The Fake dip has helped me and many others. I used dip to get off smokes and, damn I ended up doing both.....
Hang tough, we will kick this Bitch!

Greetings all I am new to the quit. Found this site while I was searching LIVESTRONG for information on quiting. See I started this past week out with the intention of quiting. Monday came, had my seeds, and gum ready to go, was doing pretty good the whole day at work. Then came the ride home, nice 45 min drive, so the perfect trigger. Well needless to say I cracked and pulled into the store and bought a can. That night, I was sitting a my computer, dip in place, searching for ways to quit. I happened to be on LIVESTRONG.com entering my data for the day, when I noticed they had a dare regarding smoking, well I asked myself why don't they have one for dipping so started searching the site. That is when I found a link to here. Once started reading, especially the Jen And Tom Kern Letter, I pulled that last dip out and threw the can away. Needless to say I tried to register right then and there but evidently had some computer problems. So I contacted the admin. Finally, I am not active and on DAY 4.

I did have to call in the re-enforcements and purchase some fake dip. It is what it is.

Anyway, I'm glad to be here and once I figure out how to post roll will do so...

Like most have been dipping for several years, would say I was dipping 3-4 cans a week. Always depended on what was going on....golf, fishing, hunting, work,etc... I used dip to quit smoking, boy was that a stupid move. I think it is more addictive than the cigs.
Welcome

we've all gone from cig to dip to cig to both to try to quit.....funny how the mind can "justify" a different activity and convince us we are "making progress" in quitting when we are only using a different delivery system.

Read, Read, Read and Read some more. This place will become your new addiction for a while. you will find all the knowledge, experience, support and info to get this done. Here is the Welcome Links....posting roll is the 3rd or 4th down.....i would suggest reading it all. Will give you a pic of what we are all about.

http://www.killthecan.org/community/welcome.asp

Your group is October 2010 and you are welcome to post in any additional groups you wish. My group is April 08....you will always be welcome there as a fellow quitter. We are the "big boys" and take roll very seriously.

Sing out if i can help.
