Hello everyone. I'm Brian and have been at this habit for 20 years. Like many others I've tried quitting numerous times and have obviously failed every time. In the last 5 years I've gone from a can every 2-3 days to a can a day and in the process have had biopsies done on both my lip and tongue, and although I was scarred for my life I continued this nasty habit. It's been especially hard for me to stop because my dad dips, my friends dip, and my wife prefers that I dip (she has seen me try to quit in the past and I'm severely moody). Support wise I have no one. Two days ago I made a commitment to quit. Day 1 was horrible, day 2 was worse. I was so proud of myself for getting through day 2 when out of the blue I found myself running to the store for a can (and I don't even know why). I chewed half a can last night. I was so disappointed in myself. I spent half the night searching the web for help and found this website. I was amazed how many others are going through the same problems I'm having. I'm turning 40 this year and want to be free and clear from this habit before my birthday. So here I am....Day 1 again, my last day 1. Here comes the FOG.
Brian-

Hang with it. I'm just making it through the first day myself. I've only been on this site for a few hours and already feel a pretty strong sense of support. Hopefully you've posted roll. We'll hit these first 100 days together. As for the mood swings, I understand. My wife has told me in explicit detail how bad off they get. Just remember it's not their fault. If you need to have a case of red ass, come on here and do it. That's what we are here for.
Remember how you felt when you wrote that post. That is how Nicotine has made you feel....helpless, weak, out of control of your own actions. Remember that, because you never want to feel that way again. In quiting dip I have felt, angry, depressed, foggy, but not once have I felt weak, or helpless. Brian, every day you need to take power over yourself. Is it hard? yes. Is it impossible....not even close. I'm glad you posted roll, now you've made a promise to us all. Make the same promise tomorrow. You can do this.

Thanks for the support. I'm a dinosaur when it comes to computers so this is all new to me. I've never been a part of a web chat, face book or anything similar, so I'll try to post roll call correctly tomorrow (instructions are like a foreign language to me). If there's anything else on this forum that's helpful let me know so I can search for it. Thanks again for your support, I'm looking forward to getting through the next few days.

Brian, good attempt at roll post. Takes a few times to get it down pat, as others before me have said, "You only fuck up roll by not being on it". Head over here and read, read, read: Welcome Center
Welcome ... the Titans of October are bad-ass, you'll fit in nicely. See you on roll tomorrow.

Welcome Brian, You need to push through it man. You got this. Drink a ton of water. It will help. We have all been there before. Make sure you read as much as you can from this site, post roll and get involved. It will help!

Welcome, Brian. You have come to the right place. You will find support here, like you won't imagine.

Go to the Welcome Center, find your new best freinds, the Titans of October 2014, and post up.

Brain-

Nicotine takes 72 hours to get out of your system, you just wasted your 2 days of quit. When you stop putting nicotine into your body the nicotine receptors start to die off. A single dip wakes em back up. You start from ZERO physically.

Days one- three are a bitch, it's called the suck. Get your head right and do ANYTHING YOU NEED TO DO to keep that shit out of your mouth.

sing out if you need help.

"CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit. After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco."
