And to anyone else that wants to join me
I stopped cold turkey Jan 1st. I'm going strong, but still would like a dip every now and then.
I'm going quail hunting on Thursday; that will be a huge test.
(Confession: I'm going on a 10-day fishing trip to Canada in July and fully plan on that being my next dip.)

i stopped chewing 6 weeks ago cold turkey. i realized it wasn't an addiction for me just more of a routine.

I quit late November. Haven't done it since. You're correct, day 3 was the hardest. I woke up covered in sweat. I still have dreams about taking a big pinch and they seem so real. Haven't touched it IRL though I get my fix while I'm sleeping.

Haven't had one since September and it still sucks

That's awesome. Physically, the worst part for me has been the headaches. They've been compounded by funky sinuses the past few days too. Haven't dreamt about it yet though.

It should help a bit to remind yourself that the manufacturers deliberately made a product that is incredibly addictive.
So an additional motivation might be that you just don't want to send them any more $$$. (I'm sure you already have several great reasons for quitting -- this would one more tiny one).

Yeah, good point. It does piss me off when I think of it that way. There were many times that I would read the warnings on the label and think, "I know the risks, and I STILL want it. The hell do they put in this shite?" Meanwhile, there's a guy sitting around somewhere in a $6k suit grinning ear-to-ear that he's got people like me funding his lifestyle. No more.

Congrats! I'm jealous - I am WEAK when it comes to that. Been dipping for 30 years, and I've blown a lot of money on it. Could've bought something nice with what I've wasted on poisoning my body.

I haven't had a dip in....... well about 2 hours.
I keep saying I'm going to try quitting again but I haven't taken the step yet.....
good luck to those of you trying!

Behop, did you ever get the poacher situation resolved? Sorry to highjack - just wondered.

Saw this in a buddy's truck yesterday, took a pinch. It didn't really give me the satisfaction of a dip, but could definitely see how it would help if I really wanted to quit, but I did notice a little caffeine boost which I liked. LINK
It tasted pretty good too, if you like coffee.

CP3 mentioned him in a previous thread. I believe you've been to his house before a while back, I could be mistaken.
$6.00 a can on amazon, pretty price.
