I think I've figured out why I find it so difficult to stay quit, I have no real compelling reason for myself to stay quit. I've never had a negative feeling about dipping. Drinking was easy to quit b/c I had so many negative experiences with it, I became so depressed afterwards I actually feared I would one day take my own life after drinking. So I quit and never looked back and have never had the slightest urge to drink for over 4 years. From day one of not drinking I've been happier. On the other hand I have zero negative feelings towards dipping, other than it's gross and may cause cancer. It's never depressed me and I've always been happy doing it.
The first time I quit was a part of a 'get healthy and change my life' period. And I did that and stayed healthy and am still healthy. The second time I quit was b/c my new girlfriend (now fiance) hated it and I didn't want to keep doing it and hide it from her. This quit is for the the same reason, for her, not for myself.
I need to find a reason for myself to quit, not quit for someone else, otherwise this quit is destined for failure.
Here are a few dozen reasons:

Jenny and Tom Kern's story.
Do you have family? I'm sure they would love to have you around rather than sit at the side of your hospital bed as you try to recover from having half of you face removed.
This shit is nothing more than addictive poison. It does NOTHING to improve the quality of your life. You are simply hooked on a drug that is sold to you for no other reason than to make enormous profits for scum-sucking murderers, i.e. tobacco executives. If you use tobacco you are literally KILLING YOURSELF so that a small handful of fat cats can relax in their mansions on their private beaches at your expense.
Tobacco is the weapon they use to rob you with.
Do you really want to be a part of that? I sure as fuck don't.
Romanticizing chew is one of the early parts of the fog/suck. It's the nic bitch whispering seductively in your ear like a whoreish ex-girlfriend. She telling you there's nothing wrong with a little sucky sucky. You might remember how much you like it...
Problem is, that whoreish ex-girlfriend has herpes. And you know what happens when you get your knob slobbed by a girl with herpes don't you?
Forget it man, you made the right choice. You have a million reasons to stay quit, and NONE to go back. Keep posting. Make your promise every day. Stay quit one day at a time. That's it. Pretty soon you'll look back on this and wonder why you even wrote that.
