Live in Sacto, CA. Have dipped AT LEAST a can a day for 16 years. 49 years old, wife, 2 kids. My wife doesn't know the non-dipping me. Frankly, I cant remember him either. After quitting on Nov 22 (12 days ago!) I am seeing glimpses of what life can be like with out being ruled my a molecule that has no business in our bodies and screws with our brains. That nic is a demanding bitch isn't she? I wanted to be part of a group that understands what I am doing. My friends and family of course are excited but I know you guys and gals here really get what its about. Knowledge is Power! During the last 12 days I have done a lot of studying and once I understood what was really happening in my brain and my receptors I have no fear from what I am feeling and have totally embraced my quit! We are healing!
Every denied crave and trigger brings us that much closer to home. Home to a quiet brain that is at peace. All these craves and problems are nothing more than a chatty brain bitching cuz we are not feeding it what it has become accustomed to. Holy Shit! This is recovery and healing. It is a beautiful thing!
Well done sir!
Welcome to KTC, read all that you can read. Ask questions when they come up. Exchange contact info with other quitters. The cost for admission for this ride is posting roll daily. Do that as early as possible every day. When you can't use phone or text and have another quitter post for you. That is your promise to stay Nicotine free that day (this includes patches, dip, cigarettes, cigars, e-cigs, etc.). If it has Nicotine or Tobacco in it stay the hell away.
Do more than the minimum though, look through the site this place can and will save your life but you have to use it as a tool.
Holler at me if I can do anything to help you out.

Listen to what Pinch has told you. We post roll every day it's the price of admission to be quit with us.
What you will get in return will blow your mind. Accountability, brotherhood, and believe it or not friends.
I have people I have never met, that I trust with my quit and I know if I need them they will be there.
We have quite a few CA folks, here on the site, I am from Hanford. Good to see you now, now jump in with both feet and rock this thing.
