Bk, good work and good call sticking with avoiding all Nicotine. Most of us on here have probably "quit" a few times before with Nicotine gum or some other form, and it turned into nothing more than a momentary cessation. I am finally starting to feel better and feel like I can go about my day and not think about dip. It's amazing, because I was just like you described- dip at dinner, spit cups everywhere, I would even dip in bed, sometimes fall asleep and have it still in in the AM. Nasty, I know.
The other day I was at my buddies house and they were all smoking cigars. I don't know how I would react to being so close to it, and I know I am getting stronger, but I am still an addict and was not willing to take the risk so I literally sat in a chair about 50' away.
Without quitting ALL nicotine, cold turkey, I don't think many people actually quit dip.
We are glad you are here quitting with us.
