Thanks guys. I will keep posting and stay focused.
Atta Boy!!
You are well on your way to being "normal". But remember you will always be an addict. The second you get comfortable and think you have it beat is the second that the Nic Bitch slits your throat and pours a can of dip down it.
All of us here know what your going through and will help you with the battle of your life.
Read as much as you can from every portion of this site and you will see the similarities, the horrors, and the triumphs.
One day at a time brother.
You can do it, and we are proof of it.

Stay Strong-Stay Quit

I am new to this website but no stranger to dip.  I started dipping when I was 15 years old and now at the ripe old age of 37 I have decided that it is time to stop.  I am about to become a father, and I do not want to let this addiction control me any longer.  I have been able to keep my habbit a secret from just about everyone- including family.  My long showers were an excuse to dip a little longer, or saying that I had to get some work done at the office on the weekend was a good way to get some dip time in on the weekend.  I am disgusted with myself that I let something control me and make me say things that were not true. I am tired of hiding dip, afraid of getting caught in the house or at work.  I want to know what it is like to finish a meal and not crave a dip.  I want to know what it is like to wake up first thing in the morning and not think about putting a dip in my mouth.  i want to be normal...
You are absolutely in the right place - I dipped for 27 years - no particular brand, what ever I could lay my hands on. Woke up one day and said fuck this - went cold turkey then and there. Threw out everything I had (found a few land mines that I had forgoten, got rid of those also) told my wife, family, friends, co-workers, whom ever would care to listen. They probably think that I am some kind of religious freak - but I really want to and will quit. Don't keep this secret, I believe if I had - I would still be dipping today. You wont believe the amount of support you will get.

The older I get, the better I was - made an even bigger improvment the day I quit dip.

Closet - first off, welcome to the site. You are not alone on hiding the addiction. I dipped for 30 years, mostly hid it from everyone. I tried quiting several times, but would cave. I found this site and started reading. There are several steps to success at least for me.

1) Post up everyday and keep your word
2) Have seeds, fake stuff, water, candy, gum to help get past the craves
3) Stay close to the site and use it
4) Talk to your family and friends, let them know. My wife knew, but we never talked about it my dipping. It was hard to talk to her about quitting, but it was good to get in the open.
5) see step 1

I also recommend exercise and listening to the vets on this site. If you have questions or concerns someone on this site will have the answer or experienced the same thing.

Stay strong and focused, you can do this.

RWM - day 127 of freedom.

You are at the right spot. You will find lots of support here. I am a 24 year ex-dipper on his 68th day clean. I never thought i could make it this far but now not quitting is no longer an option. Learn about posting roll and get in your quit group. PM me if you need a number to use. Good luck brother.
