Quitting is easy--I do it every morning. Maintaining is the hard part. Good luck

Sunflower seeds for when you're bored. It mimics the dip and spit action. Gum or mints for after you eat.

Disclaimer: haven't quit dipping

google images of mouth cancer. Print out 100 pics. tape them to your walls, car, and forehead.

Stop fricking killing yourself slowly through a weak will and oral fixation.

I know it will be hard, but I'm getting married in April and ever since I've gotten engaged my world has changed for the better! She has a little girl that I absolutely adore and I want to be around for a while

Sunflower seeds, gum, or those beef jerkey "dip" things.

Do not go in the gas station when you have to get gas. Just pay with your credit card outside. It is far too easy to say "can of copenhagen wintergreen" when you get up to the counter. And I'm a cheapskate so when I buy dip I have to finish it. I'm not one of those "smoke two cigs and throw the pack away cause I'm quitting" people.

I tried to quit several times, but I finally quit for good when I was truly committed to stop. I found that keeping a bag of skittles around helped and really once I got through the first week or so, it really wasn't that bad. The desire lasted about 2 years after I quit and now after over 4 years, it's like I never dipped. Good luck

It sucks honestly, but its all in your head. Just man up and throw it away. I'm coming up on 3 years cold turkey. The first 2 days suck then it gradually gets better but it will go away. After the first month you'll be fine. I did 2 cans of Red Seal a day and quit cold turkey.

1. Throw out all cans of dip in a Taco Bell garbage can.

2. Don't buy more dip.

Just think about them cutting out your jaw and lip and attaching arse skin to your face.

I tried plenty of times but never could kick it

Then I tried Smoky Mountain Herbal Snuff, got over the nicotine

Then chewed gum to get over the oral habit and quit the herbal snuff
It has been a couple years now

This is my exact experience.

Quit Sept 27, 2007. I still crave it. A friend asked me if I thought I could take one dip. I can honestly say that after about 7.5 yrs, all it would take I'd one dip, I think I'd be right back to dipping a can a day within a week or two. The hardest part is the first week. Just take it 1 day at a time. Prepare to put on some weight.
