@Mthomas3824: It's a combination of things. First and foremost, I know I'm slowly killing myself. Second, the motivation to finally quit besides the health aspects for me are that my girl hates the fact the I dip. I don't resent her or blame her for making me quit, but I'm not going to lie and say that I would've quit on my own if she hadn't come into my life a short time ago. Tonight, I realized that similar to quitting alcohol, I can't do this on my own. So, I Googled Quitting dipping and low and behold, there is help for an addict like me. Thanks for making me think this through even more than I already had.

@bigbamadan: Can't argue with your comment. The only reason I said it wasn't the nicotine was that I lasted past the 3 days it takes to get the nicotine out of my system. I was under the impression that at this point it was more of the habit, the fact that I used the dipping as a crutch to relax. Of course, since I'm new to quitting, I will defer to the wisdom of the group, which is why I'm here. It's in those times of insomnia or anxiety that I most want a dip, since I used it to relax. Thanks for keeping me honest and calling me out on my BS.

So, I quit last Friday evening right before my girl came into town. I lasted till 20 minutes ago, about 6 days. It's not the nicotine, it's the habit of having my Grizzly Wintergreen Pouches in. I was eating candy, chewing gum, anxious, on edge, etc. I've been dipping for 20 years and know I need to quit.

I gave into the temptation tonight, but have ordered some Smokey Mountain Wintergreen Pouches and will begin using them as soon as they get in. I realize that I can't do it on my own. I'm extremely grateful that there's a forum for people like me that need help quitting.

Looking forward to connecting with you guys and joining a quit group soon. Thanks.

You are wrong. It is the nicotine. You are a drug addict. You are as addicted to nicotine as a herion addict is addicted to herion.

I am glad you have come here and admited that you need help quitting. You are not alone. 1000's of us could not quit on our own. But the brotherhood and accountability offered at KTC is a proven method to quit and stay quit. It may be hard to imagine how a bunch of strangers on the internet can be the key to so many successful quits, but I promise you that this place works. We are addicts, just like you.

Check out the welcome center link up top. Learn what roll call is and why we post it everyday. Then head to the Sept. 12 group and post day one.

Never again.

Welcome Rez.

The statement above...well that is 100% straight-up no doubt about it absolute complete horseshit.

You are addicted to nicotine. I am addicted to nicotine. Every other person here is addicted to nicotine.

It is like scrambling and egg. Once you break it and mix it up....well there is no going back to the egg being in the original state in the shell.

You sir are an addict. Not someone that has a habbit of having to have a pouch in their mouth.

Realize that. Accept that. Discover how to move fwd and break the chains of addiction.

Head on over to September 2012. Post your word. Keep you word. Holler if you need help.

This can be done. We are all proof.
Quit: 3/23/10
All good things in all good time.

Hi Rez,

Welcome to kTC. Great support, education and knowledge on quitting this crap.

One question, why do you want to quit? It's not a trick question, just wondering what is motivating you to quit.
