I decided at the end of October 2014 to quit dipping after 20 or more years. I was going through 2 cans of cope southern blend a day. I felt like shit. I was tired of all the dipping side effects. Tired of having to hide my addiction from my wife and family. Tired of the 11pm dump to get one last dip in for the day and having to wake up at 6 am exhausted due to the late night dump dip. It got to a point where I just felt like a complete loser. So after confessing to my wife and family I picked a date to quit. I prayed to God to help me with my addiction and I continue to pray daily for strength to continue being dip free. So far it's been over a month and I feel so much better mental and physically. I sleep like never before. My mouth has healed up. My headaches are gone and no more late night dip dumps. It's been hard, but worth the fight!
So just wanted to say hello. Thanks to this sight for all the info to read to assist on quitting. I hope to stay dip free and never go back to that nasty place I came from being addicted to a freaking plant! A plant that controlled my life for over 20 years.
Hey W30 (442 reference?) ... I too went solo for the first 36 days of my quit. But I found myself struggling to stay afloat, kinda just lost, and needing "something". You and I did nearly the same thing ... we found KTC. You need to continue down the path I took, which was to jump in, post roll, and join a bunch of quitters who know what you're going through. There is a power here that will always hold your head above water, no matter what comes up ... it's called brotherhood. Welcome to the nut house bro, jump all the way in.
