Okay, so I really appreciate the concern. I do. I am waiting the week because I ordered some mint pouches and I am waiting for them to arrive before I quit, I really don't think I can quit without those. Maybe I am not giving myself enough credit, but oh well. Also, this is going to be especially hard for me because I can't just flush the dip. :( my husband also dips and he is NOT quitting. He made that very very clear to me. Oh and grizzlyhasclaws, I am looking to quit completely. Forever.

Hey everyone,

I just happened upon this site while I was looking for information on quitting dipping. I haven't really started trying to quit yet, just the thought makes me sick to my stomach. I know I need to quit, but I also know that it is going to be one of the hardest things I have ever done. I just hope I have enough will power to stick with it. My quit date is July 1st, 2014. I only have a few days left...

So a little about myself: I started smoking cigarettes (Marlboro Red) when I was 14. When I was 17 my now-husband told me he didn't like how I smelled because I smoked a pack a day, and suggested I try dipping. I thought it was a great idea, so I started dipping Grizzly WG pouches. What I didn't realize is that it's not a good idea, because dip has a LOT more nicotine than cigarettes. I started dipping only when I would smoke a cigarette, but that soon turned into only waiting a half hour between dips, and then only waiting 15 minutes, and now I only am without a dip if I am sleeping (although I have fallen asleep with one in before). Now I am about to graduate college, and my husband and I want to have a baby. Obviously, I can't dip when I am pregnant so I need to quit way before hand. I have tried to get my husband to quit with me but he refuses. So I am on my own in this.

Wish me luck!

Hi Mollie,

We don't wish each other 'luck' here, becuase we purposefully show up here every day to Quit.

Go here. Read EVERYTHING. Make sure you know what you're getting into before you do anything else.

You cannot make your husband quit, I'm sorry, but you are NOT alone.

Flush your shit.

Post Roll.

And you will have 1,000 brothers and sisters to Quit with you every day.

There is no luck necessary. We don't try, or hope.

We do.

We Quit.
What is your major malfunction?!?!?!?!

Hi Mollie. Why wait a week? Flush the chew down the toilet right now, and be quit today. We had 3 new quitters that posted roll for October yesterday for the first time, and you can be in the ground floor of October. Waiting a week just adds to the poison you are putting in your body.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Get rid of luck and hope. They don't work in this.

Are you looking to stop just during pregnancy? Or do you want to quit and stomp your nicotine addiction into the ground?

Oh Mollie- First, welcome and congratulations!
Now, just flush (not pitch, flush) all your tobacco and quit today. Day 1. Jump in, do it now. The dips you take by July 1 might include the one that starts your cells mutating into cancer.

Go to the chat function here to discuss it all further, if you need to. Otherwise, please just learn how to post roll next, go post roll in your October 2014 class, which means you promise to be quit for today, then keep your word.

You will probably get a lot of advice to quit now. Please do! Join us today! By July 1 you will be a week quit! and putting it off really doesn't help. You'll even be cleaner by the 4th if you do it now!
This info helped me early on, and still does today: https://whyquit.com/whyquit/linksaaddiction.html

Quitters I’ve met so far: Ihatecope, >Pinched<, T-Cell, grizzlyhasclaws, Canvasback, BaseballPlayer, Cbird65, ERDVM, BradleyGuy, Ted, Zeno, AppleJack, Bronc, Knockout, MookieBlaylock, Rdad, 2mch2lv4, MN_Ben, Natro, Lippizaner, Amquash, ChristopherJ, GDubya, SRohde  -- always eager to meet more!
