I want to quit. Any best method or just do it?

[stpsts]

Well I haven't officially quit but it's been 19 hrs I've had a dip. (Not to justify it) but it was aa pouch.someone offered me one and without a second thought I grabbed one. I think that's going to be the most difficult part of it, being around friends that dip.
It's been easy not dipping at home. I usually don't any way.
A bit more difficult not to at work were I am right now, if I need to go over paperwork or drive I usually throw a dip in. Other than that I'm often working on medical equipment and you don'twant to stick fingers in your mouth after that lol.

But with my friends, it's gonna be tough
Sure they will be supportive but if all I'd have to do is ask a few times and they'd probably give in. How is it for those who already quit?

Quit! Forget about trying to find excuses to have another dip. I did just that for over 40 years and recognize all the excuses because I used them. I sat with and watched my friend lose most of his lower jaw from dip and he was still dipping till he died, and so was I, and I continued to use after that for 25 years. That just shows how powerful this addiction is. After watching this Hellacious death and my losing teeth and having gum grafts I continued in my addiction. Quit making excuses and quit!!!!

Plans don't work. Just quit. Flush the can and suck it up. You will not regret it.

I've been dipping cope winter green and straight the last years. Usually a can a day. Sometimes more. Recently, undiagnosed anxiety has turned me into somewhat of a hypochondriac. I'll think a symptom is indicative of an illness. Then It hit me. It's heartburn, bloating. I think it's because of dip. The ole can never gave me much trouble until this last year. Soreness in my jaws, neck throat and sometimes ears. I currently have what I think is an infection in my gums. The upper side. Started as a canker sore. Now there's almost a straight line of gum that looks like it was cut with a knife. About 3/4" long. It's irritating like a canker sore and is starting to white over like one so I believe it's on its way out. But it looks horrible and thought if I do nothing now, I could develop something like that that's permanent.. or deadly.

So down to the question for those who have quit..

Did you dip at a normal pace until your quit date or did you try to ween down at all?
I'm trying to only dip once a day since this last gum sore. My theory is that lowering the intake of nicotine before the quit date might help absorb the shock of losing a "vital" commodity.
Is the shock of the quit more a psychological hurdle or physical withdrawal?

Hi stpsts,

I dipped everyday almost all day til i decided to flush it and go cold turkey. That is the only way, nic patches or gum is just as bad as the dip, and it is NOT quitting.

The first few days is the worst, 72 hours for the nic to flush from our system. But then the mental side comes to play. with staying here, posting roll daily as a promise to not use nic in any form, making contacts here , getting numbers from fellow quitters for text support, you can stay quit.

I could never quit, stopped plenty of times, but always started again, until i came here. I am now 218 days.

Quit now, Flush it , rinse the tins... go through the suck (withdrawal)

poof

Stpsts, these people really know what they are talking about. I was very skeptical of the process myself. I finally decided to listen to what they were saying and I flushed everything that I had on October 25th and now I am on my 9th day of being nicotine and tobacco free. The first few days really suck but now I'm feeling great. Now all I have to deal with is the mental fight, which is easier when you have brothers and sister supporting you who have been in the same situation that you are in currently. You will get out of this site and quitting in the matter of how much you put into it. So if you go full hearted into this planning to change who is the master of your life and to take back control this is the place for you. We are all here to help you through this tough time. I quit with you today!

My advice is gonna be that canker could have been a whole lot more, don't ever have to take that chance from ever dipping again. Man up, grab your sac and get this shit done! It's damn sure alot harder to quit this shit, than to continue poisoning yourself daily! There's a simple way, quit right this damn second, cold turkey and be the man! I quit with you today my friend!

Here's the deal - no matter how you plan, or what you do, quitting is a sumbitch. I'm only 4 days in after 30+ yrs, and it sucks arse, no doubt about it - but I'm quit TODAY, and I'm free.

Sounds like you have a decision to make today, like the rest of us do - to be free today, or not. For most, planning a quit = not quitting. Best advice I've heard is make a choice to be free today, and you will be able to handle whatever comes One Day At A Time.

Flush that shite today, and join us - If you do, you can post in roll call for the February Future Hall of Fame group, and everyone will support you in any way they can.

Hope to see you in our ranks!
