Monday, April 15th, 2013... the last day of dip in my life. I have to be honest, I am not one of the guys who is going to log in each and every morning to post my commitment to being Quit for that day. I understand the principle behind it, but don't like the idea of starting each day thinking about not dipping. I'm 16 days quit now (dipped for 17 of my 36 years of life) and have actually had a couple of days where I didn't even think about a dip until after lunch. It is even possible that I may have had a day when I didn't think about it once. I made it through the first week without using any replacements. On day 7 and day 14, I bought one can of smokey mountain from my local Wal-Mart, each time I made it last 2 days. I guys I've been one of the lucky ones. I haven't had as many side effects of quitting as most seem to have had. I will say the constipation and gas that has come with being Quit, while being annoying to my wife, has made me laugh like a 10 yr old boy on more than one occasion. Each day is a new journey... up next is passing the one month mark. I've only done that once and that was a decade ago. Thanks for reading and i look forward to getting to know some of you better. -Chris
This is some bullshit.
You spent 17 years of your life stuffing your lip full of cancerous shit, every single day. You can't spend 2 minutes a day posting a promise to not use chew for the day?
Horse shit.
You might have gone a day without thinking about dip and your on day 17.
More horse shit.
I chewed for 15 years and have been quit for 324days and not once have I not had at least a thought about dip. I don't dwell on it and it doesn't consume but at some point I think about it.
You're one of the lucky ones.
Horse shit.
What exactly do you hope to gain from being a member of this site? You know every time you log on or communicate with someone, you will be thinking of "not dipping".
It sounds like you have everything figured out, why do you need us and why do we need you?
I'm not trying to discourage you from being a member of our site, I'm asking that you respect the principles it was built on and those who do post roll every morning. By saying you are not, you are disrespecting thousands of people. It's hard to build trusting relationships with people you disrespect.
This is how I personally feel. Others may feel different.
Why did you decide to quit by the way? You never mentioned that.
