Today is my first day without dip in several years. Not using anything to help, so we'll see.

It's a marathon. Pure misery for 2-3 weeks. Anxiety for 2-3 months. I emerged from the fog about 4 months in.

I quit over 10 years ago and still have dreams about dipping.

Try the gum or patch at first (I didn't) and get something to help you sleep.

Good luck - you're doing the right thing.

After 25 years plus, and quitting hundreds of times, I used Welbutrin (sp?) Did pretty well, started back for the hell of it after about six months.

Couple of years later I took a dip and it really didn't taste that good. I spit it out, threw the rest in the garbage. That was over four years ago, I still think about it and even dream about it but the urge just isn't there.

Dipped for many years, Skoal to start way back in the 70's then moved on to Copenhagen and dipped like a fiend for about 30 years. Was able to stop pretty much when I wanted, but dammit, I LIKED Copenhagen!!

The best thing I have found is to buy a can, let it sit for about a week and get good and dry, then put in a big ol dip. That will taste like dog shite and you will not want to taste it again.

CSB time.

Summer 2011 had a class with Zach Mettenberger. He dipped and spit during class in a smaller classroom. It was pretty gross. Black chick decides she has enough and says so loudly during the middle of lecture. Hilarious

Sunflower seeds till my mouth was raw. I've been clean for 2 years. Benzos help the first couple of days if you have any. I was finding myself constantly with a dip in my mouth and knew it had too much control of me and it was time to quit. Copenhagen was my choice. Traveling was a hassle because what if I ran out what was I gonna do. They don't sell the stuff everywhere. Anyway it is tough to quit but it truly is worth it.

I just stopped. It wasn't that hard. A few mild cravings, that was all. Now I can't believe I used that shite.

never dipped, but man.. A coupe of weeks back my friend Nick takes a ride with me, he uses an old coke can to spit in.

Later I get in my truck with a coke, I somehow mix them up and pick up his spittoon can. While in traffic, driving like an arse, and expecting to get a nice sip of coke zero, I take a gulp of his spit mixed with tobacco. I had to pull over on the left shoulder and throw up. It was so bad.
Luckily I had a bottle of water in the back, and was able to clean my mouth out, but I swallowed some.

It was disgusting. It was so much spit, that I thought it was my 1/4 can of coke.

I do not get how people can do something so disgusting it requires them to constantly spit?

Cold turkey... just have to realize the first 2 weeks are going to be really tough. Have something to try and distract the cravings, exercise, run, eat breath mints, sunflower seeds,anything to try and distract you from the cravings. I quit several years ago and having a can of breath mints on hand at all times helped me.
