Lunk,
Reading through your post you say you have tried to replace dipping by smoking, the patch, the pill whatever. What you need to understand is you are not addicted to dipping. You are addicted to the NICOTINE in the tobacco. You cannot "replace" it with another form of nicotine and quit. If you were an alcoholic and your drink was say Scotch you could not quit alcohol by drinking vodka instead. See what I mean ? Nicotine is the drug you are hooked on and to become free you must remove ALL nicotine from your body. No Smoking, no dipping, no patches, no gum, no snus, suppositories or whatever other delivery means has been invented these days. NO NIC is what we require !!

I will send you some information to get you stared. Make sure you read it all and understand what it is we do here. I am glad you are here, use the methods here and you WILL be quit.

Welcome to the party
Greg

Made the decsion, close to retirement and now is the right time to quit. I am telling nobody around me because mentally it is my battle. I do realize that I am an addict and can't touch or replace it.Ã,  I have been dippin for about 16yrs, started in the military and gonna end in the military. I have tried replacing it with cigars, redmann, tried the patch and the gumm and still back to it, it has kicked my ass and I will never be stronger than it. I am in control of me using it not it tempting me. I am pwerless against this demon, but I have the decision to quit or not. I hate 7 day soldiers ( 7 days in a weak) but in this case I am the weak one. I dont know about the future and will go day by day but for tonight I am dip free.Ã,  Take Care and keep your feet and knees together...Oh yeah my bio, I am in New England, originally from Wisconsin, been in the Military 24yrs and have a wife and 2 great kids. GO PACK!

Welcome to the Suck!!! Ok, I must say that you have it right by concentrating on being Quit One Day at a Time. My only advice is that even though this is a personal mental battle that only you can fight...you should tell your family. It is a whole lot easier to fail and give into something if no one is looking and trusting in your word. By telling your Family that you are Quitting it leaves no room for an easy escape. You build accountability here with us at KTC by giving us your word everyday...thats all we can trust in. I'll give you my word and you give me yours...But the Accountability and support that you recieve from your Family is just as much needed. They need to know what you are going through and they will be more supportive to you. Gosh, Im really glad you are Quit but I really hope that you give thought to what I am trying to say... See you on the boards and Congratulations on your decision to Quit!!! PM me if you need anything...
