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?
