Hey guys i have been viewing this site on and off for the last 6 months, getting excited about the idea of quitting but always had an excuse not too. I was thinking today while at work that i really dont have any valid excuses. My mind keeps tricking me into thinking i need dip and its "My thing" (none of my friends do it, no one i work with either, for some reason i think its cool)..... so while i was driving home i decided im done. Threw my almost full tin of snus out the window, got home threw out a whole bunch of unopened cans (I would go to the states and buy cheap dip every now and then, as its nearly 30 dollars for a tin of cope up here in canada).

So anyways i guess tomorrow will be my first day off the stuff. I have been dipping for about 4 years now and since then I have not gone a day with out it. I Have gone a few hours and get that panicky crave feeling so im imagining that tomorrow is going to suck. But i think its going to be mind over matter.....

I was dipping a can a day up untill about 5 months ago when i realized i was spending $400+ a month on the stuff. So I thought i would switch to Snus. Well that did bring my costs down by about half, as a can of snus lasts me about 4 days. I feel like snus has made my addiction much worse due to the higher nicotine content as well as the fact I pretty much have a pouch of it in my lip for 8-10 hours a day. I can easily hide it at work and i dont have to spit..... then of course i come home from work make dinner, then pack a big old lip for the rest of the evening....

anyways i have quite the mixed bag of feelings now, im excited to quit, nervous that i cant live with out my tabaccy, and wondering how strong my will power is...


has anyone else on here kicked a snus and dip habit?



Kicking it man.

I had my last dip 1156 days ago. I made the decision to quit, and then I just kept deciding to be quit. It's easier some days than others....especially now.

Quitting has its ups and downs. It has its surprises and it has its perks. You'll never regret. Not once.

There's ton of advice you'll find all over this board. You don't have to listen to it all, but there is only piece that you need to to be here: post roll. Keep your word.

Ask any questions you need to, and I look forward to quitting with yA man.
714 days of freedom.

Snus. Dip. Pipe. Cigarettes. Cigars. Matters not... You are a nicotine addict. But you are taking your like back.

This site will save your life and give you freedom like you forgot you once had. Brotherhood + accountability = success. Post roll. Keep your word. Connect with others fighting the same fight. You can do this.

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021
