re: Quitting Dip

I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to dip, been doing it for probably 7 years, Im 25. But the weird thing is that I'll go 4-5 days without one and then randomly I'll want one if I drive somewhat far. If I don't drive for more than an hour for a couple weeks I won't dip at all. Just a boredom thing for me.

Just YOLO it and get seeds or gum.

in seriousness dude do it quicker. 4, 3, 2, 1 in consecutive days as soon as you really decide to do it. The addictive nature of nicotine is almost overblown, I'm convinced people would quit easier if the "OMG super addictive" aspect wasnt pounded into everyone's head. It's 90% psychological. Just embrace the suck, and deal with being uneasy and irritable for a few days. There is no easy way around it. That's all there is to it. Think about other things, keep yourself busy, eat sunflower seeds. Don't be a pussy and just do it

This. It's almost all mental. I dip, fwiw.

Real men swallow

Easy, start swallowing the shyt until you get sick. Do that til you can't look at dip without your stomach churning. I was dipping every day as a teen til i was out on a boat and got sick accidentally swallowing some. Its been 15 years and I still get nauseous even smelling an open can.

I quit cold turkey 8 years ago and haven't touched it since. It was hard at first, especially when doing yard work, playing golf, reading, etc. I don't miss it at all now. You can do it.

The patches are a good start for the first week or 2. Get the level 3 ones since you didn't dip like crazy. They'll just slowly make your craving go away. Also you have to make sure that you're fully committed and have accepted never dipping again. If you haven't, you'll be dipping again soon.

Not enough room in your mouth for dip and truck nuts, so you choose to keep sucking on the truck nuts. Not surprised

I quit cold turkey 2 weeks ago after 9 years of dipping. I pretty much did exactly what Genro typed, just suck it up and quit being a bitch. Quit for yourself, not for your girlfriend. She's not the one who will have to get her jaw removed

if someone is making you do it, you wont quit.

you'll quit for a few days\weeks but you'll always sneak one in.

my wife 'made me quit' when i was in the marines and i dipped for 5 years while married......of course you don't get to dip at home on the couch anymore unless she's gone.

years later, i put a dip in when the seahawks beat the broncos. woke up the next morning and have never even wanted a dip since then. quite cold turkey because "I" wanted to quit.

Wasn't that hard to quit. I went cold turkey 6 years ago and never went back. Nasty habit
