Hello nab, welcome to KTC, Im glad you foind your way here. If you are serious about quitting, this is the right place.. I will tell you nicely, probably alot nicer than you may her efrom some others here that if you join a quit group you will be expected to post roll call EDD (every Damn Day), and there are some tough SOB's on this site that will make damn sure you see the vast amount of tools on this site to keep you quit.

in the end it is up to you. I do worry about this from your original post tho: why can't I quit this crap. I'm cursed with an insanely addictive personality, but I'm also blessed with little to no withdrawal symptoms when I quit things like caffeine/nicotine

Looks to me like you may think since you dont get the headacehs or fog, that you dont have withdrawl symptoms, but bro YOU DO, YOU KEEP GOING BACK TO IT..

So my advice, admit you are an addict, get active in your quit group, reach out and help others like lwidman and RTistic have. Get some digits from peopel here, keep in touch with them, get a good plan to quit so next time a trigger comes, you wont cave!

Proud you are making the choice to do start this quit. Stay strong bro, we all are here for you. Most of all, QUIT QUIT QUIT!!!

I don't doubt that its addictive or I would have quit long ago, just every time I've quit caffeine or nicotine I haven't had headaches. You are correct though you can't have the mentality that this will be easy. If I thought it would be easy I wouldn't have tried and failed as many times as I have.

The biggest withdrawal symptom I've had is anger, which is odd to me because I'm not normally an angry person. Its something I'll have to focus on and work to avoid.

Thanks for the welcome posts!

Hey everyone spent a little while reading over the forums and once again I'm trying to quit.

I sit here and I wonder why I ever started, I remember I was 21 dating a girl and living with my roommate. He was friends with an ex of mine who I still liked and he hung out with her all the time. I finally got fed up with it and decided to blow up basically my whole life. I broke up with my then girlfriend guess that was more of a rebound anyway, moved out and moved in with a friend and 2 of his friends.

Well one of them dipped, before I moved in with them I barely knew what a can of dip was. At the time I was working out and looking for a way to cut more consistently I was probably 7% body fat wanted to get down in the 4-5 range. He was like yo just put a dip in whenever your hungry. So sure enough I did it and the funny thing about it was after 1 dip I was addicted it kind of made me feel a little sick which worked great for hunger...

Before you know it I hurt my shoulder 5-6 months later probably from dipping and the nicotine...However I enjoyed dipping at that point. Graduated a few months later and found myself dipping a can a week. A couple years later 2 cans a week. To now close to 3 cans a week, the one compromise I made with myself was to switch to pouches a couple years ago because that would remedy some of my woes and save my teeth....

Well 6 years later I'm still dipping and I've tried to quit at least 10 times in the last 2 years. Dipping totally changed my life the nicotine grabbed hold of me, it made me ashamed when I did it, but I enjoyed it so I kept doing it. Now I'm not even sure if I enjoy it, but I still find myself craving one. Then I wonder why? My mouth is constantly dry no matter how much water I drink or ice cubes I suck on. It sucks, yet I put another dip in and the dry mouth goes away. I dip at work almost every day, but I won't ever let my employees see me with one in my mouth because I'm ashamed, but for some reason I keep doing it.

For the last 2 years I've asked myself why am I doing this, why do I keep torturing myself why can't I quit this crap. I'm cursed with an insanely addictive personality, but I'm also blessed with little to no withdrawal symptoms when I quit things like caffeine/nicotine (aka no headaches). The longest I've quit for in the past 2 years was for 2 months and I remember and regret so much the day I put one back in. It was about a month ago the girl I was dating at the time blew me off last minute when I was already at the bar we were meeting up at. I had a couple of drinks and left, she then texted me and broke up with me. Next thing you know I find myself with a can of dip and here we are a month later and back to 2 cans a week.

Its ruled my life and been my "crutch" when the world is out to get me. Well I'm here because I acknowledge I can't do it on my own I've tried many times and failed many times. It's time that I blow things up again reverse course and never look back. I'm better then this drug? In fact I know I am, but hey we all need support!
