re: Day 3 - Dip Free

Hey OP - I posted this a few weeks ago and am reposting to urge you onward. You can do it and IT WILL get easier. You will still have moments when you want to dip especially doing outdoor activities. Hang in there and think about how shitty and beat up your gums are every morning when you wake up - God be with you!

I dipped for 15 years and got up to a can and a half of Cope everyday for the last 5 years. I had leukoplakia that the Doc thought was cancerous and had a biposy, was put on Wellbutrin and other medications to help me quit and I never did. Nothing worked period.

10 years ago, I looked at my wife before bed and said this is my last dip and I am quitting. I discarded the empty can (I used to dig in the trash after previous quitting attempts to find half full cans). I went to bed that night with my gums feeling like old wilted pieces of leather and my wife doubting me once again.

I stuck to it, had the jimmy legs every night for three nights and acted like a little slap happy teenage bitch. Not sure what made me do it after so many failed attempts that included a cancer scare and prescription meds, but I did it and I am so happy I am free of that massive addiction. I go hunting and fishing with friends who dip and do not even miss it.
Good luck OP, if you want it then you will do it.
