Entering Day 4 now, and still haven't experienced the "suck" yet, although I have had some slight mood swings. I have my trusty herbal pouches to suck on when I get the urge, and today I picked up an old empty can of skoal, and just out of curiosity I opened it and sniffed the tobacco remnants to see what happened.

Smelled like dip, I put it down and felt no strange urges and felt silly for thinking I would.

Anyway, I'm not too big for my pants yet. Maybe my "suck" is just slow  coming on.

Anyhow, Golden Eagle kinda sucks if you are going for a real tobacco taste, and Smokey Mountain still seems closest to the real thing I have tried except for straight cut, which in my opinion tastes like garbage...

why did you have an empty can of skoal? Clay don't fuck around, at day 4. your lack of the suck, could mean when she comes for you she will come so hard you wont know how to react.

Take no chances man, keep it close.
I had an empty can of skoal because I'm not a pussy ass bitch thats afraid of an empty can. Apparently I am in small company.

I'm not fucking around, because when I said I quit, that meant I quit.

I can have ten full cans sitting around and it makes no difference.

You see, we are all adults here, which means that we all have ID's, which means that for any of us, we are only a short walk or drive away from an infinite number of full cans of Skoal, which would be sold to us with great willingness by the owners of those who sell them, and of which we could suck all night should we so choose.

Metaphorically, we are all surrounded by cans of dip. All we have to do is reach out and take them.

If I am too weak to say no, then it doesnt matter whether the can is on my desk, or at the supermarket around the corner.

I am on Day 4. I haven't given in to any sort of suck, and yes, my next dip is within a short reach of my fingertips.

That is the difference between strength and the illusion of strength.

Hate me if you want.

Good luck to you KKLJINC. BTW- I talk shit, but I respect you, and the way we quit is the way we quit. Although I meant what I said in general, I don't mean that you are a pussy. I just mean that I am not.

I planned my quit, and I am implementing it.

I'll sniff as many cans as I want. No one can place a dip in my lip except me.

Don't project your own weakness onto me.

Well, its the end of day 2. Been using my smokey mtn when I would normally dip. Other than that, no real heartaches or misery. Just another day. Been about 48 hours since my last dip. Smooth sailing so far. I hope tomorrow is this easy. Everyone says its going to get rough. I'm not looking forward to it.

Yup... it'll suck. That's why we call it that, "The Suck"

Rather than dread it though... gear up for it and give it a big hug. Remember it. Use it. Understand why we call it "suck". Don't EVER put yourself in a position to have to go through the suck twice. You get what I'm sayin'?

Quit on bro...
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

Thanks for the support everyone. I am nearing the end of my first night dip free and so far the alt dip is working just fine. When I have a craving I pop it in and I forget the craving. i know tomorrow will be a little tougher but I can deal. The good thing is I know the ingredients in the alt are actually helping to heal the damage done, so instead of feeling like I'm killing myself a little bit with each dip, I feel I'm healing it. Sure, the same physical satisfaction can't be reached with a none nic alt, and the taste is a little different. But hey, its the difference between the taste of life and the taste of death, so I guess I should expect it to be different.

Smokey Mountain has really helped me man. I am on day 15. I dont use it as much as I did the first week. But its definitely handy when cravings hit. Keep up the good work man. I quit with you today bro.
Yeah, Smokey mtn is the can I am currently using. The straight taste like garbage to me, but the flavored are very similar to the real deal. The best so far. Bac-Off is also a good alt I've tried, although not for the similarity to tobacco. Not sure why really, I guess because it doesnt taste exactly like tobacco, but it also doesn't try to act like a cheap substitute. It has a potent flavor and its own character. I am actually trying all of the different alts, and plan on writing a product by product review to aid future quitters once I have given each of them a fair go.

Lucius!!! Congrats on a great choice, sir!!! I'm pumped about the choice you made! You got this, brother!
Day one, brother. The day you have decided to take back your life. The day you stop giving precious life to something that takes, takes and takes. The day you have taken your freedom and integrity back. Rejoice, because you are worth the withdraws. You are worth every crave that comes your way. When the going gets tough ask yourself,,, am i worth it. Is my family worth it.

After time you will find it is so worth it. We, brother are slaves no more. I quit with you today. Pm me if you need anything.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.
