Just wanted to say "Hi" to everyone. I'm 50 days chew free now. I'd like to say I feel good but I'm so scared now for some reason about getting cancer. Why didn't I feel this way before now? I guess I finally realize how great life is. I finally came clean with my wife and that was a huge load off. Around the time I quit I had a big panic/anxiety attack which I thought was an overdose of nicotine after dipping all night. Since then I haven't had a single urge to dip because it scared the living crap out of me. Anyways, I'm hoping to meet some great friends here who know what it's like to be addicted.

Facts about me:
34 years old
Dipped Cope/Kodiak for 16 years
50 days free and counting
Times I've quit: Can't even count
Have 3 great reasons to quit: wife, 7 year old, 4 year old

Contact anytime to talk or for support.

Right on man. Welcome to the site. HUGE congrats on your 50 days quit! That is no small feat. It's great that you found this place now. I'm over a year quit and I can tell you that although it gets easier, it never gets easy.

Swing by the Quit Groups section and post up in July 2009 (if you haven't done so already).

If you're ever struggling with anything, speak up. I can guarantee that at least one other person here will be able to relate and provide you with that little extra strength that will get you through. One day at a time.

And YOU are another great reason to quit.

Thanks bro! One other thing I want to add for anyone reading this:

I dipped a lot while playing games. PC games, XBOX, mostly while playing World of Warcraft. Although I never dipped on a regular basis (daily, consistently), I would do what I like to call a lot of "binge-dipping" - sitting when I could away from my loved ones I was lying to and dip for as long as I had time, one plug after the other. What a dirty habit. Now I get to live for the next 10 years hoping I don't develop cancer. I fucking hate dip, and I can say I never want to see it or touch it again.
