Morning everyone. Long time dipper short time quitter. Had supper last night, took a dip, then had my 7 year old daughter poor the rest of the can down the sink. I had set my date earlier this month and stuck to my plan. I told my daughter I had just taken my last dip and wanted her to throw the rest away. She was ecstatic.

I have been dipping since I was around 12 and am now approaching 43. I have known for a long time I needed to quit, but always came up with a reason not to. I have now made a conscious decision to quit. I know it will not be easy as I have "quit" a thousand times in the past. I am here to quit and hopefully help someone else quit along the line. I have quit many addictions over they years, most recently alcohol, but dip is the one that has had me by the short curleys the longest. I am here to humbly ask for your guidance along this journey.

I will not ask anyone to wish me luck as I know from past experience that quitting any addiction has nothing to do with luck. I ask you to help me be strong, be a man of my word, and to be true to myself.

My name is Jim and I am a quitter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Jim, glad that you are here. Sounds like you are entering this with the right mindset. You are right, this is an addicition and you have to treat it as such. It is gonna suck, you know this. Use this site and the accountability and support offerred here and you only have to go through it once.

Proud to be quit with you!

Jim,

I've been sober for over 23 years and have found the Nic bitch to be a much more cunning, baffling and powerful addiction then the booze ever was! That being said....I'll be happy to quit with you One Day at a Time!!

Welcome Jim,
I also had 30++ years as a Nic user. I used and never thought it was possible to quit until I found this group of guys and gals 12 days ago. Im new into this fight but feel I can and will whip the NIC forever, so see you over in the April group and welcome to being a quitter!

Broke down and got some Bacc Off today. After lunch the craving to have something in my lip was really bad. I had forgot all about the mint dip stuff so I got a few cans and it has really helped calm me down. So, day 2 is almost history and I am still nic free. See everyone in the morning.

Nice work on going for the fake stuff. Instead of going for dip you used one of the tools available to keep you quit. As they say, caving isn't an option. Do something else. You did something else. Quit with you.
Quitting is the most important thing you'll do today.

Caving is not an option.

I second what Teamgreen said, great job not caving and buying more of the nasty stuff. Walking past it at the checkout is one of the biggest things I had to struggle through! I didn't cave, though, and neither will you, stay strong!

Day 4 and going pretty strong. Yesterday was pretty bad. Went to my brother-in-laws for his little girls birthday party. I am a pretty antisocial person to begin with, but right now I just really want to be left the fuck alone. Managed to get through the evening without biting anyone's head off. My Nic. jones seems to be fading pretty good. My oral fixation on the other hand is being a real bitch. I have some Bacc Off for when it gets bad, but I am doing my best to fight it off. Just don't want to gain 100 pounds and have a heart attack in the process of quitting.

Thanks for listening, just trying to keep my self occupied. Idle times are the worst for me.
