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!
Mollie
