First Day

No, I'm not 18. It's just almost a "tradition" in my area to dip, even if your under 18. Even some of the convenience stores will sell dip and tobacco products to underage people. I'll be turning 17 in july. I got started dipping early, but it's not to late to quit early too :D

ok...17? Really? You gotta get a handle on this dude...Don't know if you read the Sean Marsee story if you haven't already. And unless you grew up in the inner city, almost every school has a "tradition" of dipping. I was 6'5" in 7th grade so i was able to buy it all back then.

Anyways, i would venture to say that almost everyone on here was about your age or younger when the started and wishes they had the maturity to put it down back then. The addiction is hard to battle but adding a layer of piss and vinegar that most teenage boys have and it makes it insanely difficult. You have shown some maturity by coming on this site and posting...but you are going to have to grow up quickly to to handle this on a day to day basis.

The world is addicted to everything, if it's not dip, it's booze, or weed, or speed, or something. Tradition doesn't make it a rule you have to follow.

I think a lot of us begin because tradition, there is no rule we have use it "because of tradition."

If at 18 can keep this and the other monkeys off the back you will have an amazing life.

Much appreciated guys. The gum really helps for me, but I'll chew it the whole day and it will give me a headache. But, it's better than killing myself with dip  :lol:

Yes, yes it is better. You've got great advice here... Don't ignore it. Especially the part about getting to know your quit brothers in August. Post roll, reach out and get to know people. Build yourself so much accountability that you have no options other than succeeding... That's how it works. Glad you're here man!! Stoked you're quit!

Would it not be recommended to chew gum? Not the nicotine gum, but just trident or something. Iv'e found it helps a lot. And how do you set a profile picture on here? Mine says I don't have permission or something.

As long as your nic free, do whatever you need to do to get through it. Gum, seeds, a lot like atomic fireballs. Fake chew. Just dont put any nicotine in your body.

A lot of guys use some regular gum/candy I have noticed. I usually just get more of an urge when I have something like that in my mouth, but if it works for you it works for you.

And try to change avatar to customize your profile picture.

I've already been quit two days and from reading the information on KTC's website, I 'm in "the fog" right now. I'm actually writing this in school because I can't focus on anything. I looked at the site for about two weeks before I finally decided to quit. I've dipped ever since I was in the sixth grade and I'm a junior in high school now, so that's about 5-6 years of dipping right there. I originally dipped grizzly for about 85% of that time and I started to notice that it hurt to put a dip in about a month ago. Now, I don't have cancer or anything like that I don't think but it just hurt. I thought the probably was that I dipped grizz all the time so I switched to what my dad does, which is red seal. That didn't really help so I decided it was time to quit. For many reasons.. I wanted to be able to have clean white teeth, instead of yellowing ones. I DIDN'T WANNA DIE. I wanted to be able to kiss my girlfriend anytime I wanted to without her being disgusted by the dip I had just spit out. I didn't want whether I had dip or not to decide my mood. But I'm quitting for me, and my family and girlfriend are being very supportive of the choice I've mad. But shit, I'm just ready to not want nicotine anymore, you know? I'll be joining the pre august class to quit, and I've found already that this site is very helpful. Just shoot me a message on here if you want to know anymore. Kudos.

Now you dont chew anything because you are quit! Trust me a a 20+ year chewer, I wish I was as smart as you are being right now.

The fog sucks, and you may have a few more days of it. Drink some water, when a crave hits, hit the deck and knock out some push-ups or run or whatever.I am telling you, you want this, and if you fail forever you will regret not doing it now.

Get in and get accountable, read, exchange numbers with your group, get a lifelines! Welcome and I quit with you, today
