Welcome, Nate.
I started at about 15 or 16, and I'm 37 now. And in my 5th day of quit.
I remember in college I tried to keep myself to a can a week. Over the past few years I thought a can a day was good. It doesn't stop.
Others may not agree, but for me the biggest thing is whether or not YOU actually want to quit. I've tried several times before, because I thought I should. But guess what--if you don't really want to quit, you'll cave at the first cravings. It has to be you.
This time, it's me. That doesn't mean it's pleasant. It really sucks, actually. But I'm convinced after day 5 that I'm going all the way, because days 1-3 were hell, and it's only going to get better.
Get some herbal shit, get some hard candy, get some gum, and most importantly get some titties to suck on. Welcome to January 2011!

Good Choice Nate -

I dipped for close to 20 years too. I am only 10 days into my quit, but I can tell you two things. Its not easy. I feel healthier. Dip not only rots your face off, but it fucks with your entire body. It will be tough in the beginning, but i just reminded myself that the pain was a symptom of my body getting rid of the nicotene (poison). Give your body a chance to right the ship and get itself of the poison......the vets on here will all tell you it gets easier and you will feel free and healthy
a strange game. the only winning move is not to play

You didn't really enjoy dipping. You will understand what I mean in about 250 days. That is the addict talking.

For now welcome to the site. Go read everything you can find. Go study our little drug of choice and the fuck sticks that market it and sell it. It will help you stay quit

Good choice. Now post roll every day and keep your word.


Stay quit !!

Great decision. But remember...nothing can make you quit. YOU must commit to doing it. Best part is that if you sincerely want to quit, you will. Insurance, wife and friends nagging, etc...those things might help, but it is YOU that must decide to do this.

Posting up each day is the first step. "Yesterday + 1" is your new motto. I'm only at Day 19, but let me know if I can help. Everyone on this site has your back.

I agree with your girls...I'm proud of their old man. Post roll everyday and stay quit.

Hello everyone. My name is Nate and I am a dip-aholic. I have been sober for about 11 hours now.

I have been dipping since I was 15. I turned 34 yesterday. I canÂ’t believe that I have been dipping for 19 years. But beginning today, the timer gets reset.

I have to admit that I didnÂ’t really want to quit at first. I have enjoyed every dip that I ever had including the last one. But the company I work for sent out a notification that the only way we employees will be eligible for premium health insurance coverage is if we are tobacco free beginning October 1, 2010, I figured, what the hell itÂ’s time to quit.

But you know, something happened while I was working up to the last day. I actually began to believe that I really didnÂ’t want to be a dipper anymore. Now I say that as I sit here with a Mint Snuff chew in my lip, but at least it isnÂ’t tobacco. And you know, when I told my two daughters that I was quitting fir good, they were really proud of their old-man.

Anyway, like I said, this is day number one. I know I am going to be ranting and raving over the next few weeks. Thanks for giving us quitters a place to go get it out.
Good choice Nate and welcome! When you think about it, we are all going to quit some day, forced by sickness or by our own volition. Why not make it today and avoid being an addicted bitch for all that time?

You can do it!!
Oh yeah....the most important part---go post roll in Jan 2011, today and everyday!!
