  1. Welcome to the Quitting Dip. We've all been through the chewing tobacco withdrawal symptoms and can say with absolute certainty that those negative side effects of quitting dip will pass soon. When your brain gets used to operating without nicotine, the clarity will feel amazing, and sleeping and shitting will return to you once again. I'm sitting here and don't have one inkling of a wish to ever return to using that ground up poison and will continue to come here and post my promise to these powerful allies that I will continue to preserve my freedom from nicotine until the day I take my last breath. You'll find that the money you save and decreased risk of cancer will be ancillary benefits that barely even register in the grand scheme of quitting dipping. They just don't matter that much compared to the real prize - freedom from your addiction. I know that dip has been really fucking expensive, but that never really mattered to us, did it? We always found some other area of our life to short, in order to get that can every day, no matter what. And cancer warnings were always printed on the can. Hasn’t ever stopped one of us. Maybe you actually think that cancer is your motivation now. Or money. Okay. Whatever gets you started on the path, great. But success only comes to those of us who appreciate what quitting means for our lives. It changed everything for me. Life can be a bitch, especially if you are looking for excuses to feel like shit, and feel like you're missing out on stuff... because life is so easy for everyone else, because they aren't dealing with special problems like you. You’re not special. Nicotine didn't help deal with life. Nicotine took away the withdrawal from itself that sets your mind ablaze and causes panic. It wasn't magical, it was chemical. Fuck that shit. Start being alive for real dude. THE TIME TO QUIT DIPPING IS RIGHT NOW. And the only method for quitting dipping that any of us have ever found to work is quitting cold turkey, with the help of other quitters. The method that we use here. If you found Quitting Dip, you’ve been struggling with nicotine for a long time. You have probably tried to quit. Perhaps you’ve even admitted to yourself that you are addicted to chewing tobacco. No matter what strategy you have employed in the past, we both know it hasn’t worked. Otherwise, you would be quit, like the rest of us. The excuses you have used in the past won’t work here. The temporary withdrawal symptoms of quitting dipping are not going to kill you. You can actually function at work and home without your “crutch” to make you “more relaxed”. Your life will improve dramatically once you quit dipping. You might remember stopping for a few weeks, and you have an idea that it was hell 'because you had quit'. It was hell because you didn’t know how to quit until now. We’ll change your mindset, and we will lay out the timeline of quitting nicotine. The only thing that you need to do to participate in a 100% effective method of quitting dipping is to show up here every day, follow the advice of the members, and follow the only two rules we have here....Post your promise not to dip every morning, and keep your word. If you are ready to quit dipping, post up on the Plebe Scroll. Otherwise, visit the support center, or read some speeches.
  2. “Quit” is an attitude change that won't take long to manifest itself - after you quit dipping and prove to yourself that you’ve got the balls to make it through the discomfort of some withdrawals without running back to the “one pinch at a time” cancer addiction. This is the time and the place that you will succeed and quit dipping. We support you but we cant do it for you. I never intend to go through what you are going through again and I won't. You won't have to either. Man I'm going through some shit at work so... Going through a divorce so... Going through a custody battle because I want to move so... Finally get to move and I'm going through the stress of buying and selling a house so... So fuck nicotine! And fuck anyone who thinks that their life circumstances are an excuse for dip or any other addiction. Handle your shit and stop being a pussy. Life happens and it ain't so bad (even the low points) when you're not busy feeling sorry for yourself and blaming everyone and everything else for your problems.

  3. There are two parts to this website. First is the serious, no nonsense portion - your pledge to quit chewing tobacco. This part of Quitting Dip is relentless, intense, and often unforgiving… but a daily promise is a method proven to work effectively to quit dipping. The second part of this site is a juvenile frat house to which you become entitled to participate as a member of the community should you so choose . Quitting chewing tobacco is the only portion that is necessary - you MUST log in everyday and make your promise to the rest of us that you will quit dipping that day. Break that promise, or refuse to be held accountable, and you won't be here long. The second part is gratuitous; feel free to ignore it. But I can assure you that if you are engaged regularly with the baddest of the bad ass quitters on here, your nicotine quit will be stronger. THE TIME TO QUIT DIPPING IS RIGHT NOW.

  4. Basically we all used to be slaves to the can. Its a son of a bitch who controlled our lives, fucked with our relationships, had people questions our morals, etc. All for a fucking weed that gives us cancer! Listen, there's no "maybes" here. You've found this place, and if you have decided to quit dipping you have made the best decision you will ever make in your life. Your previous stoppages were just a break. Now it is time to quit dipping! Post your promise not to dip today. Keep that promise, and I promise to not dip with you, and will support you in any way you need. That includes taking the bitching and moaning. Instead of taking it out on your family, come here and vent about work/ life, look at pictures of boobs, talk about shits we had this morning, and sports. Most importantly, read everything you can on here so you can see we've all been in your shoes before, and quitting dipping is a daily routine for each of us. We come here, post out promise, and remain quit as fuck! THE TIME TO QUIT DIPPING IS RIGHT NOW.

  5. Why have you failed at all previous attempts to quit dipping? I know why I failed every previous attempt. I failed to quit chewing tobacco because I wasn't here. The first thing you deal with when quitting chewing tobacco is the real physical withdrawal side, and since most people have at least halfway attempted to quit dipping in the past, you should know the routine... Withdrawal symptoms from quitting dip can include insomnia, sweating, headaches, constipation, irritability, and anxiety. How do you combat the symptoms of quitting dip? First, know that they will pass. This only lasts few days. To alleviate them, go sweat somewhere, whether its running, hitting the gym, or just walking around the block. Don’t sit around feeling sorry for yourself. Work. You're on the scroll, so the most important part is over. Remember this- work fucking sucks, but today it is more productive than usual because someone is paying you while you are going through withdrawal. That's win win. Tough it out, take a walk around the block, drink lots of water. Bitch and moan here if you are feeling sorry for yourself. One of two things is inevitable for a nicotine addict, death or quitting. Choose quitting. Drink a lot of water while you're sweating and after you’re done. Use substitutes like jerky chew, fake dip, hard candy, gum, and seeds. Anything without nicotine in it. Some guys would stick coffee grounds or even grass in their lip. Sleep whenever you can. Get in here and talk shit to quitters before you freak out on your family. But the biggest thing to remember is that a lot of this is mental, and that part is off the table. You make a promise to everyone here to quit dipping today, so chewing tobacco is not an option. Put that promise up every morning and it's never an option. If it's not an option, there is no reason to obsess about it. Quit dipping. THE TIME TO QUIT DIPPING IS RIGHT NOW. And the only method for quitting dipping that any of us have ever found to work is quitting cold turkey, with the help of other quitters. The method that we use here. If you found Quitting Dip, you’ve been struggling with nicotine for a long time. You have probably tried to quit. Perhaps you’ve even admitted to yourself that you are addicted to chewing tobacco.

  6. Before finding Quitting Dip, I was using a substance that was going to be the death of me. Of course, most of the time I was dipping, I blocked out that reality. Then I made a decision that has since changed my life. I made the decision to quit dipping. The night I put the can down for good, I searched the internet for “tricks to quit dipping.” The thing I found is that there are no “tricks,” none that actually work. There is one thing: cold turkey. If you’re reading this and are thinking about quitting, the method on this website works. Accountability is key to quitting dipping. Posting a promise to brothers saying “I’m not going to use tobacco today” might seem binding. But it’s actually very freeing. It’s like waking up and taking a dump on the very thing that would kill you. It’s empowering. Engaging in brotherhood is something that lasts. These things mixed together = a very quit, very much better me. Since quitting dipping, I can already feel the positive effects. I’m more focused, more well rested, more willing to talk to people to their face, a better man. This website has saved my life and I can’t properly express my gratitude.

  7. Those of us who have quit dipping know that the only method of quitting is quitting dip “cold turkey.” Although I will get into where that name comes from later, first the discussion will be about why cold turkey is the only method of quitting dip that works. In order to be quit from something, you have to end all use of that substance. You can’t say that you are going to quit dipping, change the delivery method of nicotine by starting to smoke cigarettes, and pretend that you have conquered your addiction. If you were a smoker, and decided to change your nicotine delivery system to dipping, you would not be better off. Your clothes might start to smell better, and you would look like less of a bitch standing around with a cigarette cradled delicately between your fingers, but you’re still addicted to nicotine. However, lately for some reason, people think that because vaping hasn’t been proven to cause cancer, it is for some reason okay to be addicted to vaping instead of smoking? For some reason, it’s better to be addicted to nicotine gum, instead of dip? Nicotine replacement is not quitting nicotine, it’s just changing the delivery method. For the members here, those of us who quit dipping cold turkey, cancer fears may have been part of the reason we found this place, but the improved health risks turn out to be a fringe benefit when compared to the freedom from the addiction. The addiction that had silently infiltrated and sabotaged every aspect of our lives. Those who are addicted to dipping really don’t realize how fucked up it is making everything, until they get free of it. Although tapering off is a method that has been used by a few members here, there are a couple reasons why it’s not as good as just pulling the trigger. First, it prolongs the symptoms of withdrawal from dipping. The timeline for withdrawal symptoms is fairly short when you quit cold turkey. Most guys feel like shit for 3-4 days. The worst symptoms can be lessened by drinking lots of water, working out, and staying busy. When you start tapering, you are going to experience the same symptoms of quitting dip, and while they are probably going to be less powerful, they will be extended over a period of weeks or months while you “cut back”. At any time during that period, before you have established any real control over your addiction, [i.e. when you don’t know how to fight the mental battle against nicotine cravings], you are pretty likely to “slip up” or “backslide”. And then you’re back to ground zero… or worse, since you have another reason to believe this shit is impossible. Second, building on the previous point, the longer you let nicotine run your life, the longer you are not in control. At some point you have to take control of your life, and stop letting a little plant dictate the terms of your situation. The longer you wait to actually quit, the longer you are a slave. And at the end of your “tapering off” period, guess what you still have to do anyway… quit cold turkey. Because at some point, regardless of how much you use, the day before you quit dipping you were using some amount of nicotine, and the day you quit, you’re not. Congrats, you just spent a few weeks feeling like shit so that you can now commence going through the process that you could have gone through a couple weeks ago... if your marbles were a bit bigger. Cold Turkey is a great method, and the only one that works. At least it was for every single dude here. And it will be for you as well. But why is it universally known as “cold turkey”. This morning I was thinking about how stupid a name Cold Turkey is for such a bad ass method of quitting dip. Where does this expression come from? This article suggested three possibilities- 1. The trading of fowl between colonists and natives was direct and no-nonsense, and called ‘talking cold turkey’. So, “Since that phrase already meant ‘to speak frankly and plainly,’ to quit something cold turkey might have naturally followed to mean abandoning something with similar directness.” I like that one. Abandoning dip with directness. This is exactly what happens when you quit dipping. You reach a point where you can no longer tolerate the health risks, the sneaking around, the constant pull on you to stop what you’re doing in order to have a dip. It’s probably been on your mind for a while. You’ve probably been nagged endlessly to quit by others, (and given zero fucks or just enough to fake it for a while), and you have long known that you have to quit dipping “at some point”. But one day you will finally just say, “I quit’. That is when you will be able to quit cold turkey. 2. The second possible origin related to “To make cold, leftover bits of the bird into a meal requires very little preparation, as does abruptly quitting something.” This one is the nearest to what I used to think the expression meant, having to do with the meat we eat all the time. I wasn’t really sure what it meant, but thought it had to do with leftovers. The explanation above makes sense as far as an origin, but it isn’t entirely accurate. Quitting something with very little preparation doesn’t really sound like it is going to work. Although “abandoning dip with directness” is how you quit, no one quits without any preparation. You have to feel an internal need to quit, the kind of need that builds up over time. If you don’t really care about quitting, because “it’s not a big deal, you can do it any time, it’s not going to be difficult, whatever” you are not going to quit. How could you? You don’t give a shit. It’s just too easy to start again when you don’t give a shit about stopping. 3. The third possible origin suggests the phrase may come from the condition of the body of the addict during withdrawal, comparing it to the carcass of a turkey. “Both can be clammy, pale and covered in goosebumps, which might have led someone to point out that a user who suddenly quit looked like a cold turkey.” This seems like someone trying really hard to work backwards to make a result of quitting cold turkey fit into an origin of the word. Like creating a backronym. It feels highly unlikely that the expression began because turkeys are “clammy and pale and covered in goosebumps”. Either way, while this could be true for quitting meth or heroin, this explanation is not appropriate for quitting dip. Nicotine is among the most addictive substances known to man, and it one of the hardest drugs to quit, but you obviously don’t need to have inpatient treatment for nicotine withdrawal. You are not going to be “clammy and pale” all the time. You are not going to die from the withdrawal. You just need to deal with it. It’s not hard to quit because of the withdrawal symptoms. It’s hard to quit because until you sack up and steel yourself against the cravings, until you have found the only reason to quit that sticks [quitting for yourself], it’s too easy to find a pussy excuse to succumb to addiction. You need the right mindset to quit, and the only people that know how to develop that mindset are the people who have already quit. Luckily you have stumbled upon a place where a bunch of them show up every morning ready to share that knowledge, and make no pussy excuses about life being hard. Anyway, can we come up with a better expression for quitting dip than cold turkey?
  8. I have lived the majority of my personal life with the motto- “Fuck It”. I have given up on too many diets, exercise programs, organizational goals, etc. in my life to count because I have always ended up saying "fuck it" and giving up. When I decided to quit dipping, I was finally fed up with the ever-present sack of shit weighing down my life- my nicotine addiction. I found Quitting Dip and posted scroll the next morning. I had no expectations at that point, and if I am honest with myself, I assumed that the "fuck it" would win over eventually. But the next morning, I woke up and posted again. And then I did it again the next morning. A week later I was standing in line at the gas station and looking at the dip display. I could physically feel the "fuck it" creeping up my spine. But things were different this time. I had made a promise that morning. A promise to myself that I was going to be quit. And I have kept that promise every day. The benefits of quitting dip have permeated the rest of my life. I am more organized, I am eating better, I am exercising. Once I realized I could stop being a slave to the most addictive and destructive part of my life, the other areas were easy to overcome. I am tempted to say that I have conquered the "fuck it" once and for all. But I know that's not the case. I know it is still there. It is waiting for me to become complacent. It is waiting for me to get lazy. But, I am a different person than I was before I quit dipping. I am determined. I am firm in my resolve that while the rest of my life may fall victim to the "fuck it", my quit will not. I will wake up tomorrow and make a promise to myself and to the good people of QD that I will be quit that day and every day after it. I look forward to many more scroll posts and I truly appreciate the help and support from every one of you. Because of you and the promise I make every morning, "fuck it" has forever been replaced with "fuck nicotine." THE TIME TO QUIT DIPPING IS RIGHT NOW.

  9. Brotherhood and accountability has freed me from nearly a quarter century of slavery to nicotine before I found help with Quitting Dip. Time slipped by me like a fart in the wind. I pissed away my prime years so I could sneak away to shovel dog crap into my mouth and my face. I missed out on girls, friends, education, love, careers, travel, and opportunities of a lifetime so that I could sit in my car or on a fucking toilet to needlessly suckle tobacco, before I quit dipping. Lesson learned. No more. I quit chewing thanks to my brothers in quit. I will always be thankful and always respectful of the key things that led me to my quitting dipping. Posting to the scroll, asking for support to help quit dipping, supporting others in their quest to quit chewing tobacco, and forging brotherhood. Thank you my brothers. Please count on me being here with you. Together, and every damn day, we will continue to fight to keep our freedom from nicotine. Failure is not an option. Quit Dip.

  10. Last week I looked out my hotel window and saw a woman standing in the street smoking. Just standing there, one arm folded across her stomach, the other holding her cigarette. So sad. So alone. So trapped. Such a waste. Addiction is not a fucking disease. I know it's a disease in the strictest definition of the word, but it's not like Malaria or MS. You decide to put that shit in your body every time. Calling it a disease lets people off the hook. Addiction is serious, it's crippling, it's lethal, but every hit is a choice. I know how politically incorrect that statement is, but I couldn't BECOME QUIT until you dudes helped me understand that ain't nobody gonna help me but me. Addiction is a crisis of character. It's a vacuum of valor. I still remember when that light bulb went off: just stop being such a goddamn pussy and QUIT DIPPING, BITCH. QUIT HARD. That mindset has changed me. It's changed me as a man, husband, father, boss, son, brother. I own every minute of every day. I chose to be strong. I chose to be quit - and being quit means so much more than just not using nicotine. But that's my foundation, my rock every morning - wake, piss, post, commence utter domination. If I can quit dip, I can do anything. THE TIME TO QUIT DIPPING IS RIGHT NOW.

  11. One of the biggest reasons my quit came to be was me asking myself the question, “why are you doing this?”. It’s a question I was unable to answer, and at the same time I found it much easier to answer the question “why wouldn’t you do this?”. The reasons for not dipping pile up easily. I’ll start off as a salesman for quitting dip: Do you enjoy not having cancer? Do you like falling asleep easily and waking up rested? Do you like having extra pocket money? Do you like not having to hide spit cans and brown teeth from your loved ones? I could go on, but you get the point. Likely, you’ve reasoned all of these in your mind before. You know that logically you shouldn’t continue this practice, yet, for some reason, you continue. Why? Why keep dipping if you know there is literally no good reason to continue? The answer is simple: you aren’t taking control of the decision. You’ve allowed the reasonable part of you to take a back seat while the dumbass part of you drives the car. It’s time to take back the wheel. One of the most liberating moments I had was the moment when I decided to quit. I took a full can of dip, I dumped it in the toilet, and watched it all go down the drain. I would highly recommend this. You will be surprised at how hard it is to dump that can, but once you do a feeling of power and control will wash over you. After that, take it one day at a time. Don’t think about being quit 4 years from now, think about making it to next week. Once you’re at next week, think about making it to the next month. Before you know it, you won’t even be thinking about dip. Use this website as a tool to aid your quit. Post scroll in the Plebe Quit Scroll every morning. Get involved. Writing posts about how strong your quit is will strengthen your quit and resolve to keep your daily promise. You can do it, you can get rid of the addiction. Dump that can in the toilet, post scroll, and start the next chapter of your clean and free life. THE TIME TO QUIT DIPPING IS RIGHT NOW. And the only method for quitting dipping that any of us have ever found to work is quitting cold turkey, with the help of other quitters. The method that we use here. If you found Quitting Dip, you’ve been struggling with nicotine for a long time. You have probably tried to quit. Perhaps you’ve even admitted to yourself that you are addicted to chewing tobacco. No matter what strategy you have employed in the past, we both know it hasn’t worked. Otherwise, you would be quit, like the rest of us. The excuses you have used in the past won’t work here. The temporary withdrawal symptoms of quitting dipping are not going to kill you. You can actually function at work and home without your “crutch” to make you “more relaxed”. Your life will improve dramatically once you quit dipping. You might remember stopping for a few weeks, and you have an idea that it was hell 'because you had quit'. It was hell because you didn’t know how to quit until now. We’ll change your mindset, and we will lay out the timeline of quitting nicotine. The only thing that you need to do to participate in a 100% effective method of quitting dipping is to show up here every day, follow the advice of the members, and follow the only two rules we have here.... Post your promise not to dip every morning, and keep your word. If you aren't ready for that, or don't know if this will work for you, as a guest you can read some "speeches" of dudes who have been in your shoes. If you just about ready to pull the trigger but you're scared, stop being a pussy. There is a section in the support center full of posts encouraging guys like you to get in the game
  12. It’s pretty simple here ... Get on the scroll today to say that you have quit dipping. That's the first step… post your promise at the beginning of your day, keep shit out of your lip. Repeat. If you have any integrity, you’ll honor that promise. Soon you’ll be quit, permanently. You gotta own it this time. ZERO tolerance for all things nicotine here ... so if you think a back-9 stogie is in your future, you’re wrong. Addicts can’t have one. One is too many. Quit dipping like you mean it. I would suggest you read as much as you can on the site. Come here with questions, to rant, share, support and be supported. Discovering that you are addicted, and have to quit dipping, is actually one of the hardest parts. THE ONLY WAY TO QUIT DIPPING IS TO QUIT COLD TURKEY. You might not be ready to hear that, but you wouldn't be reading this if you didn't already know it. You are likely to be here after hundreds of aborted mini-attempts to "kick the habit". You can't quit halfway. You also can't use nicotine replacement products. No vaping. No nicotine lozenges. No nicotine gum. Why not? Because you can't quit nicotine by using a different form of nicotine. When you are in the cycle of being desperate to quit, but terrified of quitting, everything can seem overwhelming. Quitting dip is a lot easier than you think. It is all a mind game, and we know all the ways to win. If you are ready to quit, the best way to quit cold turkey is to join this site, and start posting. Once you are a member you can start an introduction where you can tell the other members about yourself, or just get right to it and put your screen name and "Day 1" on the "Quit Scroll" with today's date. If you aren't ready for that, or don't know if this will work for you, as a guest you can read some "speeches" of dudes who have been in your shoes.

  13. Maybe you’ve already done enough reading around the site to know that your story is not unique, and that your addiction doesn't seem out of place with what we all used to do before we got help to quit dipping. Or maybe this is your first visit to Quitting Dip. My routine prior to the day I decided to finally quit dipping cold turkey went something like this… 1. Wake up- Put in dip. Change out dip every approx 2 hours, adding toppers when needed. 2. Mealtime? - take out dip right before, put new dip in right after. Repeat 3x daily. 3. Spending time with someone who you don't necessarily want to know that you chew (mom, boss, or casual acquaintance)... put tiny chew near back of gum line, and gut the spit. Otherwise, keep massive chew in front, upstairs or downstairs, all day. 4. Go to sleep- take out dip (unless too drunk to remember to take out). There was hardly any moment I wasn't getting my fix. Does that sound like sound like something I was getting enjoyment out of? Or does it sound like someone totally fucking addicted who is letting a drug run every facet of life? Fuck that shit. Isn't it exhausting to worry about that shit all day? I imagine it was even worse for the ninjas who had to conceal their nicotine addiction even while around the house. THE ONLY WAY TO QUIT DIPPING IS TO QUIT COLD TURKEY. And the only way to quit cold turkey, as far as the membership here is concerned, is to find a bunch of dudes who already quit this shit, and follow their lead. But what do we know... we're all just quit, and you're not. You are likely to be here after hundreds of aborted mini-attempts to "kick the habit". Here's the key. You can't use nicotine replacement products to quit nicotine. No vaping. No nicotine lozenges. No nicotine gum. Why not? Because you can't quit nicotine by using a different form of nicotine. How easy is it to quit dipping? Quitting dip is a lot easier than you think. If you follow the well worn path by the members here who are quit. Once the withdrawal symptoms of are over, (and yes, they suck but they are manageable), it becomes a mind game, and we know all the ways to win. If you are ready to quit, the best way is to join this site, and start posting. If you think that quitting dip is impossible, then you're in the right place. If you wonder whether you really need to quit chewing, you're not ready. Guests can read some "speeches" of dudes who have been in your shoes.

Perhaps you’ve even admitted to yourself that you are addicted to chewing tobacco. Maybe you have tried the patch, or you’ve tried nicotine gum, or some other nicotine replacement therapy. [We’re going to assume that you have never vaped. The kind of person who vapes probably won’t make it here. ] No matter what strategy you have employed in the past, we both know it hasn’t worked.

  15. Think you can’t get through the routines of life if you quit dipping? Yeah, we all used to dip after every meal. I used to dip every time I shit too. I convinced myself I couldn't shit without it. Having a meal or needing to shit without a can in my pocket would induce panic. Guess what? Now that I have quit dipping, I can still eat and take a dump. I haven't chewed after a meal in years, and I have shit at least once a day every day for years, without dip. I enjoy my meals much more now that I am not racing through my meals to get to my dip, and I can shit much more easily now that I am not shitting three or four times a day because of the laxative I was putting in my lip all day. Or maybe it wasn’t a laxative at all. Maybe I was just forcing myself to shit that often because it gave me an excuse to sit on the toilet and dip in private. Life is much better when you are not a slave. Let go of all of that old shit and embrace the system here…Post your number, learn how to speak and live Quit, build a hatred for that controlling poison. You will honestly have to “learn” how to do some things without dip, and you’ll be very worried that they’re not possible without dip. Even an active addict like yourself has to realize that that notion is simultaneously absurd, and terrifying. Absurd because…. Of course you can take a shit without nicotine. Terrifying because… until you actually quit dipping, you will be convinced that you can’t do certain activities without it… that’s the level of control that nicotine has over you right now.

  16. This forum is fairly simple. Commit yourself to quit dipping. Post your daily scroll promise not to use nicotine, and honor it. The folks here have all quit dipping already, and they can provide encouragement and accountability. Take advantage of the resources here. Close the door on ever dipping again and step out into the light. Feels good out here. I used nicotine as a depression “crutch” for a long long long time. It wasn't a crutch, it was an addiction. I made excuse after excuse to keep feeding my face with that shit for nearly 20 years. Now there are no excuses. Throw away your excuse book, be accountable to quitting dipping, and find your integrity. You can quit dipping and you will if you want it.  THE ONLY WAY TO QUIT DIPPING IS TO QUIT COLD TURKEY.

  17. Welcome to Quitting Dip. We are here to help you quit dipping and nothing less. This is not your standard half assed group of people that stop chewing tobacco, but then start bailing out at day 10 because they are cured, or decide that they really wanted to dip all the time, not be free of addiction. We have seen a lot of bad reasons for being here and a lot bad excuses to start again. Only the idea that you are here to save yourself, and an attitude that you hate what nicotine has done to you will lead to success. So what's it gonna be? Are you here because quitting will make other people happy? Or have you had enough of this addiction? This is the time and the place that you will succeed, but you gotta do it and we are here to celebrate your success. Planning to win? Flush your bag of addict excuses down the toilet and realize that nicotine is aimed at killing you and is not a warm fuzzy little wubby that we run back to when we have a few drinks or wanna get back at the wife. Just to clarify - it is easy to quit dipping once you get the right mindset and get past the initial withdrawal symptoms. Make your promise to quit dipping today, and keep it, and you will be looking back on a week, then a month, then a year before you know it because you have quit as of today. Take your quit seriously and we will take you seriously. THE ONLY WAY TO QUIT DIPPING IS TO QUIT COLD TURKEY.

  18. One of the biggest reasons we’re still here is that someone, at some point, helped us and taught us how to quit chewing tobacco. We are hoping to help you quit dipping the same way that someone did for us as newbs. The eventual taste of freedom when you quit dipping, and the value of the assist from those who knew how to quit better than us foggy bastards, is pretty much immeasurable. The gratefulness of “being free” leads dudes who have decency to try to pay it forward, and backward. Recovered addicts with self-awareness, and a firm grasp on the struggle to quit dipping ... that's who most of us are. You'll find that the experiences you thought were unique to you regarding dipping are universal among those of us here. We've all been there. I dipped for 22 years and TRIED to quit dipping by myself more times than I care to admit... before finally breaking free from nicotine. It's simple here: we make a promise 1st thing every morning to ourself and our fellow quitters that we aren't going to dip that day. Sack up - as you know from prior "stoppages" the first few days are tough. They’re actually unbearable if you don’t understand how quitting dipping should be done. Get on here and read as much as you can, and drink lots of water and try to exercise. THE ONLY WAY TO QUIT DIPPING IS TO QUIT COLD TURKEY.

  19. The good news is if you dig in and quit dipping here you'll find that you are surrounded by a bunch of like-minded dipshits who tried to quit on their own ... and failed. Only with the support of a bunch of common-users did we all pull our heads out of our asses, and our fingers out of a tin. Life is fucking great after you quit chewing tobacco. I'm no longer a slave to same damn weed. Women dig me more, bucks smell less of me, ducks seem to light in the decoys that much more readily now. Well, 2 outta 3 ain't bad. Where was I? Oh yeah. We post a daily promise here, and we quit dipping to START our day. It's funny how promising to a bunch of strangers that you won't use nicotine for the day works. After a while, we're definitely not strangers. We're on your side, fighting the same battle. You CAN do this ... just search for the testicular fortitude it takes to be consistent, and get on scroll to start your day each and every day. Quit Dipping 1st, everything else falls into place.

  20. Post your promise to quit dipping today and prove to yourself, and us, that you are committed to being Quit. You found this place for a reason. Methods for quitting chewing tobacco that work are virtually non existent. Fortunately you found a quit method that works. Addiction is about excuses and nothing else when you've buried yourself in it as long as you have. Reach into your back pocket or behind the toilet or under the car seat and pull out that old worn excuse book. Toss that fucker in the toilet and flush. Even that can you were going to keep as a trophy to prove you were strong. Are you one of them sneaky ass ninja dippers... or the guy that had the big ole chaw in spitting between sentences? Either way, you found the right place. Read the intros here. You are not unique or special here - quit and respect are gained by posting your promise daily and pulling your head out. Welcome.

  21. Each and every member of this community quit nicotine through the same process... quitting chewing tobacco via a support system and the accountability offered by this dip quitting forum. The foundation of t he method here is accountability, and the only way to quit nicotine is to quit cold turkey. The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. Okay... remember when we were new to quitting dip? Remember when we didn't think it would be possible to quit dipping? Like "how could posting a number on a website actually work where everything other known method of quitting chewing tobacco has failed me for years or decades?". The method we preach here seems like an illusion, a con. There's no way it could work. Then IT FUCKING WORKS, and quitting seems so easy. And then all of a sudden, as the quitting dip timeline moves forward, some dudes think maybe they don't need the thing that got them quit, because quitting dip is soooo easy, right? Like, you would have gotten quit on your own, this website is just like a little shortcut, and quitting was inevitable... How can anyone be this stupid? Seriously, how fucking stupid is this?

The foundation of t he method here is accountability, and the only way to quit nicotine is to quit cold turkey. The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. I had some stoppages over the years before I quit chewing tobacco. I'd say i was done, throw away a can & then spend a few weeks sad, mopey and missing the can, all the while patting myself on the back. Then, I'd find a great excuse to buy another one.... traffic was bad, wife's a cunt, my pinky toe hurts, must be a lack of copenhagen.... and the stoppage would be over. Then one day, I decided i wanted to quit dipping. I didn't want to die. I found these assholes & haven't looked back. I don't ever have a single solitary thought about dipping anymore. It's hard to comprehend right now for you. Your body will be detoxing that shit. Your addict mind is going to fuck with you hard for a while. We've all been there & here we are. Still standing and still quit. I'm convinced that the reason this is my quit and not a stoppage is that I bought into this system from Day 1. THE ONLY WAY TO QUIT DIPPING IS TO QUIT COLD TURKEY.

  23. Each and every member of this community quit nicotine through the same process... quitting chewing tobacco via a support system and the accountability offered by this dip quitting forum. The foundation of the method here is accountability, and the only way to quit nicotine is to quit cold turkey. The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. Before I committed to quitting dip, I wasn't planning on really participating on this forum. I just was trying to read the boards so I could figure out what the fuck is wrong with my brain. I was just tired. Tired of making every excuse in the book. Tired of being drunk and walking to a 7-11 just to find they don't have my brand. Has an uber driver ever told you that YOU are the loser? Cause mine did after the third 7-11 we had checked cause Copenhagen mint was hard to find. Like that Uber driver has their shit together....I think not. One star you fucking hypocrite. Anyway I digress. What I'm really trying to get at is I'm here to quit dipping and to quit dipping forever. An hour per dip was par for me, which means, I dipped nearly every minute of the day sans eating, sleeping, and showering. Before I quit chewing tobacco I was “lucky” enough to be able to dip at work, cause I mainly worked from home. I go into an office for like 4 hours a day. Taking a break half way for a 20 min dip and also needing one to take dump. As soon as I got in my car to go home until bed, constantly. If you're wondering how to stay single, that's your answer. Once you quit dipping, each day free from that fucking poison is better than the previous. Triggers come early in a quit, but each time you internally say "fuck you" you're winning, The premise here is simple, but genius at the same time. Wake up, piss, post your promise not to use.

  24. Each and every member of this community quit nicotine through the same process... quitting chewing tobacco via a support system and the accountability offered by this dip quitting forum. The foundation of the method here is accountability, and the only way to quit nicotine is to quit cold turkey. The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip We all were totally irrational about dipping - whether it's crawling around outside in the dark looking for the tin you "threw" away in the yard or digging through all your shorts cause you are "sure" you left a spare can in one. It does get tons better and you WILL be able to do all the things that are now major triggers for dipping. We all had a million triggers, golfing, watching sports, grilling, yard work, long drives, taking a shit. Hell I couldn't walk from here to there without my mind saying - "ok, time for some more nicotine". The only way it works though is if you post your promise first thing everyday that you won't use nicotine today. I'll do the same and you can count on that. You're not special. We were all exactly where you are right now. You will never miss dip, stop romanticizing it and start hating it. It controlled your fucking life, man. It controlled your every waking thought. Do I have enough for tonight? When can I buy another can? Did I leave my can in my house/car/drawer? When can I get away from all of these people so that I can put that stupid shit in my lip???? Once you've achieved the freedom we all have, you'll realize that everything is so much better without dip. Everything. I didn't think I could ever take a long drive again either, now I hate the pussy that even thought that. Stop sounding like you're mourning the loss of your dog. Stop anthropomorphizing it at all. It's a weed. You are claiming victory over a shitty addiction that made you a gigantic loser. Get pissed. Get righteous. GET QUIT. It only takes a few days. Enjoy the suck of your brain re-wiring as it frees itself from the chains of the addiction you subjected it to for years. Welcome to the new you. THE ONLY WAY TO QUIT DIPPING IS TO QUIT COLD TURKEY.

  25. Each and every member of this community quit nicotine through the same process... quitting chewing tobacco via a support system and the accountability offered by this dip quitting forum. The foundation of the method here is accountability, and the only way to quit nicotine is to quit cold turkey. The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. I thought about quitting dip a lot before I actually quit dipping. I had grown tired of the raw lips, the car that smelled like dip spit, the spitting in trash cans and the most embarrassing to me was having to reprint papers at work because I had put the "dip smudge" on them. I don't have to tell you about all of those feelings... you've felt them or you wouldn't be here searching, the same way I was searching for the magic solution to quit dipping. I would get on the internet every night and search out "ways to quit dipping" or "easy steps to quitting nicotine" or "how to quit chewing tobacco" thinking that somewhere in some dark corner of the internet, someone held a true secret that would give me the ability to finally quit. I stumbled upon a website, full of folks who had walked the path I was exploring and they promised that they had the answer. I was so consumed with getting their answer that I didn't really know what I was signing up for. I was told that this group of folks start their day by making a promise to themselves and the group that they would not dip that day. After all, its only a day and when broken down into pieces, you just have to make it a couple of hours at the time. You can do anything for a couple of hours. When I finally did pull the trigger to quit dipping I suddenly had a group of folks interacting with me, encouraging me, telling me what to expect and how to best cope with the withdrawal symptoms that I had feared for so long. The first few days are rough...but not the whole day. Only a few minutes at the time. Long enough for your body to say it wants dip and then your mind to say "not today...I posted scroll". It is hard to put into words the transformation when you take back the freedom you've given over to a tin can full of shit for so long. But that freedom is worth every bit of discomfort from those first few days. THE ONLY WAY TO QUIT DIPPING IS TO QUIT COLD TURKEY.
