I just received in the mail my non tobacco dip my girlfriend ordered for me. It almost makes me feel guilty using it,
kinda like all the grossness just missing the nic bitch. Any thoughts?

Welcome to the grind friend. Glad you made the decision to join! Can't say that I have used the fake stuff, but I did buy a can. Stuffed it in a drawer at the house just in case. I feel the same way about using it though. Seems like it's still cheating. I don't want anything even similar to snuff in my mouth anymore, so I keep a supply of gum, seeds, seet tarts and my personal favorite a chewing straw. I see that a lot of guys do fall back on it. Sure is a lot better to cave on some non tobacco than the shit that puts you back at day! Keep up the fight.

If it does not have nicotine in it you can jam it in your mouth. That means anything. :D

There's a lot of different opinions about the fake stuff around this site. My personal opinion agrees with the above statements. I wasn't just quitting nicotine. I was tired of the disgusting cups, carrying a can around, constant spitting, etc. I was just done with all of it. I've never even tried the fake stuff. It just wasn't in the cards for me. However, there are a lot of guys around here that swear by the fake and say they would have failed if they didn't have it to rely on. For that reason, I say use whatever works for you. Strictly your choice.

I've been steadily dipping the fake stuff which is making my quit really easy. Any chance you can get addicted to the fake shit?

That, my friend, is a habit instead of an addiction. Your body gets no pleasure other than the physical comfort that comes from it. You will likely grow tired of it over time. Seems like that is what most people say. No worries.

Dip all the fake stuff you want. I did. You will bore of it in a while. No nicotine = don't really care for it anymore.

I used the fake stuff for about a month then got tired of it. Moved on to hard candy for another month or two and am now "something in my mouth" free. To me the oral fixation was way harder to break than the NIC addiction. Yea the first few days sucked really bad, but after having a dip in my mouth for 30 years it was hard not having something there.

I say do what you have to as long as it does not involve nicotine. Stay strong brother, you can co this.
