My first OT post so here goes. I've been dipping for over 20 years and Copenhagen at that. I'm really wanting to quit but realize I'm gonna need help. Anyone one else tried this with medicine or other methods?? Thanks for the help.

Easy, I never started. That's one gross habit.

I decided at a young age that I didn't want to be a trashy redneck. So I didn't ever start dipping.

My teacher told my parents I was dipping and I got in trouble.

I quit cold turkey when I graduated college and got my first office job.

Forgot to buy a can one day

/dipping


Seriously. I guess I just wasn't addicted after 10 years of dipping. I quit cold turkey and never had the urge again

Camel snus. I know it's still tobacco but it kept the nicotine and oral fixation down.

My sister's husband dips. She's picked up his Dr. Pepper spit bottle numerous times and took a swig thinking it was her soda

Sunflower seeds. I quit dipping cold turkey and started eating sunflower seeds. Course after a while I had to also ween myself off the sunflower seeds. Can't promise it will work for you but it did for me. I've been tobacco free since September last year and I don't miss it one bit.


Good luck

I dipped for about 8 years before I quit.

Never had any health problems with it but basically the fear of some kind of mouth cancer started to outweigh my enjoyment of dipping. Decided I didn't want to risk it anymore. I plan to get back into it when I'm like 60 and DGAF.

I dip a lot less than I used to, probably like, twice a week now, but I'm still trying to quit completely.

I like it when I go to the gas station and they're out of Grizzly.

Which time?

In all seriousness, it's easy for me to quit dipping with nicotine gum....the problem for me is quitting the gum.

Get some nic gum.
Have a morning dip
Chew nic gum till lunch
Have a lunch dip
Chew nic gum till evening
Have after dinner dip
Chew nic gum till about to go to bed
Have a night dip
Do this for 2 weeks
3rd week start cutting back on night dip
4th week start cutting back on lunch dip
After month try and just chew nic gum
After another month of just nic gum
Start rotating double mint
After 3 months hopefully off nicotine
Its a slow progression but easier
(chew nic gum only when craving tho, not constant)

I just recently did this. You have to plan your times to dip at first. Like tell yourself only dip when playing golf,or fishing or only dip with friends. Then it comes to the point where you dont even think about having a dip. But then you get those moments you just want to go fishing.
