If you are looking for a support group to help quit dipping, all of the members here quit dipping using the same process, through the accountability offered by this website, and going 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 DIPPING COLD TURKEY. You might think that there are lots of ways to quit dipping, but there's not. You are likely to be here after hundreds of aborted mini-attempts at quitting dipping. You can't quit dipping 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. Why do you want to extend the length of time that you experience the withdrawal symptoms of quitting dipping anyway? Get it over with. Rip the band aid off. Put that shit in the rear view mirror. When you are in the cycle of being desperate to quit dipping, but terrified of actually 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 dipping 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. Just throw up a post somewhere, someone is going to see it, and help you learn how to quit dipping. You can also post below with questions or comments before you sign up. 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. We want to give you help to quit dipping, but you have to help yourself first.

If you are looking for a support group to help quit dipping, all of the members here quit dipping using the same process, through the accountability offered by this website, and going cold turkey. The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. Not sure if this term is still around, but I can remember back in the day, lots of young chicks that smoked always talking about having “nic fits”, and needing to smoke even though it was a bad time for it, and they didn’t want to. They were having nicotine withdrawal, but it was treated totally casually. Like, “yes, I’m in withdrawal from a drug, and I am irritable, bitchy, feeling miserable, and dying for a smoke, and oh yeah, I’m 16”. I remember thinking they were crazy, meanwhile I was having a dip. You can see problems in other people, but ignore the fact that you have the same problem. When you’re doing it, it’s for different reasons. I’m not a slave to the nicotine, I can quit dipping whenever I want. Those chicks are addicted, I just do it for the buzz, or to pass the time. If you’re still chewing right now, up is the only direction you can go. I know what you’re thinking. Yes, I can read your mind. Because you're fucking stupid, and I'm not anymore. I dipped much the same as you...all the time. My first roadblock in quitting dip was to overcome the thought that I couldn't go an hour without a dip. Once I realized that was a lie that I had told myself over and over to keep me from feeling the slightest bit of nicotine withdrawals, I started to look for other little lies I had hung on to. Dip didn't keep help me stay awake at night while studying... Dip didn't help me concentrate at work, etc...Dip literally only kept me from feeling the beginning of withdrawal. From that point my perspective on life was changed. I'm in control. I make my choices deliberately....not relative to an addiction. Semantics are important when it comes to quitting dipping. You need to change the way you think, and a big part of that is the language you use. The minute the gong goes off and you embrace being quit, all of this worry, and craving, and romance for your nicotine addiction goes away. It really is as simple as flipping a switch to stop being such a gaping vagina. If you are on the scroll every morning hating nicotine, you are one of us.

You gotta be quitting dip for yourself. Whenever someone mentions that another person is happy with their efforts it always raises a red flag with me. I ask myself whether this person is quitting dipping for themselves or someone else? Who owns your quit? Think about it. Quitting dipping for them never worked before, so don’t quit dip for them now. The good news is that by quitting for YOU, everyone else benefits by default. Make a promise not to Dip today, and put your name on the scroll. Being on the scroll gives you a 100% chance of being quit today, versus low odds of some other dude who also stops today, and just tries to gut through the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal on will power. What does it matter to him whether he has one later in the day, he can try again tomorrow, right? There’s no “try again tomorrows” when you’ve actually quit dipping. It’s final. This is it. Your only chance. The only chance you need though. To us, the daily promise MEANS fucking something. We don't just jot it down as a way to count our days quit. We're all in this fight together, and we back each other up with that daily promise. Scroll is the FOUNDATION of all of our quits! When a dude posts his promise, we expect it to be money in the bank. Now, if you’re on the scroll, you are going to keep your word, so dip is off the table. Stop jerking off to it. A number of us take the view that when you have actually quit dipping, it becomes permanent. I myself am quit forever, and I'm on scroll first thing every day. There is no conflict between being permanently done with nicotine, and still posting that you won't use nicotine every single day. “One Day At A Time” (ODAAT) is the right mentality for a newb who is struggling, but at a certain point a switch needs to be flipped. The switch between needing to promise to keep you quit, and posting your promise as a reminder or an affirmation of quit. The only variation is how to realize that “certain point". For me, it was pretty damn quick ... even prior to 100 days. But I'm a stubborn mofo, who REFUSES to let that shit back into my life again. I'm not saying that my life is a giant picnic of happiness, I'm just saying that there are no craves, and I know I am never going to have nicotine in my body again. Quitting dipping isn’t a cure-all for every problem in your life. But it sure helps. None of my current problems have anything to do with my addiction. They are completely separate. At some point nicotine became nothing more than a worthless attempt at coping with my other problems, in addition to being the root of many other problems. Nicotine has zero effect on my mood, health, finances, marriage, employment, socializing, etc. It's out of my life. On the other hand, being quit has a tremendous effect on my life, for the better.

Like you, before coming to this site we all thought that "quitting" meant giving something-up. That we'd spend the rest of our lives missing dip. What you'll soon learn is that you won't miss a thing. Everything is so much better without dip. Driving, working, watching TV, taking a crap, it's all better without nicotine. The next few days are going to suck. A lot. But we all did it; and as long as you're not a giant pussy, you can too. Jump in, quit hard, freedom is just around the corner. This whole fucking site is nothing but a ton of quit disguised as guys playing grab ass, so let it seep in. If you have specific questions about quitting dipping, you'll get a lot of good answers. Unlike other "methods" that just keep you addicted to nicotine, our method of quit relies on your integrity, and your honor. Post your promise every morning, keep your promise all day. Nothing else worked for me, either. Nothing else worked for any of us here - but this works. Why does it work? This entire method of quitting dip is built upon one simple thing: trust. We make a promise to each other that we won't use nicotine today, and then we keep that. When tomorrow comes, we'll do the same thing. I don't know for certain that these guys didn't have a dip today, but I would bet my life that they didn't, because I put my trust in them and their word, because they are men of integrity. Some of us have been quitting dip together for thousands of days, and I know that daily promise means everything to them. That promise means everything to me, and none of us here would be quit without it. If that promise to quit dipping didn't mean everything around here, then this whole place would be nothing but a bunch of fucking losers perpetually on day 3 again, because they didn't care. Sack up. If you have any balls, find them and keep your goddamn word.

If you are looking for a support group to help quit dipping, all of the members here quit dipping using the same process, through the accountability offered by this website, and going cold turkey. The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. Are you here to find people that will support you during this "attempt”... a group that will pick you back up when you “couldn’t get through the day" without a little dip? Think we’re going to pet your head and tell you everything is going to be okay when you fail? Forget it. We don’t accept failure here, and there are no excuses to use nicotine once you find your nuts. Are we going to support you when you need help to deal with all of the "cravings" that ruined your last “attempt" to quit dipping? Yes. And you can do this. But there is no sugar coating this. The next few days will suck... you will feel light-headed, fuzzy, irritable, and tired. You’ve fucked yourself by using nicotine for years and years, and there is only one way out... Quitting Dipping Cold Turkey. Time will inch by, but it will only last a few days, and you have a lot of reading to do around here, so use that stopped clock well. The first few days are rough... we've all been there and know there's no way through it but straight on, head down, brute force. But you can be smart, make a plan and then execute it. Carve out time to exercise, or at least get fresh air and be active. Drink lots of water- it helps flush out the poison. Sunflower Seeds were fantastic for me. Get some fake dip, like Jerky Chew or Smokey Mountain. Give them a try if for no other reason than to put another weapon in your arsenal. The oral fixation withdrawal is something you don’t need compounding the chemical withdrawal of the first 4-5 days. Remember WHY you are quitting dipping. To never be dependent on this stupid weed again, to not need something to level you out, to never be in nicotine withdrawal again, to be free. Stay busy and you'll suddenly have another day of quitting behind you, a day that you can use that as more proof to yourself that this is not just possible, but something you have actually accomplished. Next day- post your promise that you will stay quit, and do it again.

If you are looking for a support group to help quit dipping, all of the members here quit dipping using the same process, through the accountability offered by this website, and going cold turkey. The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. Do you think you are going to "miss" dip, if you quit dipping? Do you feel like dip is your friend, a constant companion? A trusted buddy who is always there for you when you need it? That lucky charm which is always with you in the good times? That kind of thinking is poison when it’s time quit dipping. We call it dip “romancing”. In order to be successful, you have to change your whole mindset. It’s not that hard, because dip romancing is all a lie. Dip isn’t your friend. It’s a parasite. It wasn’t your companion, it was an anchor you were dragging along. It wasn’t there to help any needs... except getting rid of the withdrawal symptoms it’s absence was causing in the first place.. It didn’t make the good times, the good times were in spite of it. How can you control romancing the can after you have quit dipping? Slap yourself across the face every time you think like that, if you need to. No bullshit. That will get real tired, real fast. Another members talks about dropping down and doing 10 pushups every time he thought about having a dip after he quit dipping. It's called negative reinforcement. It discourages weak thoughts. Other methods... a strong rubber band around your wrist. When you think about chew, you snap that rubber band so hard it hurts. I used to stop whatever I was doing and audibly say "Shut the fuck up". Some guys who have quit chewing tobacco recommended putting your balls in a drawer and slamming it shut. I never tried that one. But how can you spend time here, on a website that is all about how to quit dipping, without thinking about dipping? I am on this site all the time, and I never think about dipping. I think about quitting. They are different things. Guys who think about dipping act like they are missing out when they quit chewing tobacco, and they are going to fail. Guys who think about quitting think about the feelings that drove them to quit in the first place. Whether or not they know it, the biggest thing that drove people to find this place was a desire from freedom. Get the monkey off your back, and quit dipping. THE ONLY WAY TO QUIT DIPPING IS TO QUIT DIPPING COLD TURKEY. You might think that there are lots of ways to quit dipping, but there's not. You are likely to be here after hundreds of aborted mini-attempts at quitting dipping. You can't quit dipping halfway. You also can't use nicotine replacement products. No vaping.

The simple part is you either want to quit, or you don't. If you want to quit dipping, stop obsessing about having a dip. Get angry that you are so fucking weak you can't go 3 or 4 hours without "craving" so bad that you “have to dip”. You're in withdrawal. It's poison. And in your current state of mind, it owns you. Stop being a passive victim. Quit Dipping. Put your name on the scroll. You might waver early on, and consider taking the road to failure. But almost caving isn't actually caving. For now, you have to rest everything on your word, the promise you made to not dip today. The reason this website works, the reason you see so many quit numbers in the thousands of days, is that we all realize there is no reset button here. We take pride in knowing that others can put a value to our promise. If you yourself think you can't keep a promise, you're toast. You won’t quit dipping, this will be just another stoppage. Don't be that dude. Don't be a disappointment... again. Sure, in the past some of us tried quitting dip and failed ... but that was when we were depending on our friends/family for accountability. They can’t hold you accountable, because they are not willing to throw away that relationship just because you went back on your promise to quit dipping. Once we bought into the quitting dip support group here, everything changed. We became part of a community of badass former addicts. There is no god damn way I'll ever disappoint myself, or the quitters here. Never. Once you want that level of quit, you just need to execute. In a few days, your body/mind might be sensing that you have found a method of quitting dipping that will actually work. I freaked out a bit when I realized that, just a week in or so. You have found it. “It”, being Quit. Did you flush that excuse book yet? You don't need it anymore. A few weeks in I was happy as hell to have quit dipping, and never wanted to go through that shit again. THE ONLY WAY TO QUIT DIPPING IS TO QUIT DIPPING COLD TURKEY.

The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. Just by being here and reading this. you have your foot in the door. Quitting is simple, but it is not easy. We are here to make it easier, but this quitting dip support group does not offer unconditional help. You have to pay the piper… that means posting scroll every day, buying in, and unfucking your head when it comes to quit. Eliminate ‘try”, “hope”, and “want to” from your quit vocabulary. Just do it. Eliminate the excuses. Every step you add between you and dip is a good one. Every trigger you remove from your life now is a good thing. People here will actively try to help you quit dipping. You can reach out too. Dig around on the forums and find people with common interests or that you think are funny. Send them a message. You and your choices are what drives your quit. It's not a stretch to say that quitting gives you a ton more energy and time to do stuff you didn't used to think were necessary, important, or even possible. Because you used to spend all of your free time dipping. As if that is an actual activity instead of just delivering a drug to drug receptors. But dipping used to suck the life out of me. I was a lazy piece of shit. Even if I was out doing things, I was always plotting ways to get out of them to go back and dip in peace, or thinking about how long I had until my next dip. If I was out doing something while dipping, I would be sitting around thinking about how when I got home, I could have a bigger dip. All of that is so fucking stupid, it will blow your mind when you realize you don't think that way anymore. THE ONLY WAY TO QUIT DIPPING IS TO QUIT DIPPING COLD TURKEY.

If you are looking for a quit dipping support group, all of the members here quit dipping using the same process, through the accountability offered by this website, and quitting dipping cold turkey. The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. When I was 44 years old with three children I was a total slave to nicotine, with a can a day "habit". I was sitting with my wife in a church at a friend's funeral. She was 40 years old with two kids, and a “light smoker” that just passed away from lung cancer. As I watched her husband and two sons stand in front of everyone and talk… I don't remember what they were talking about… I was a mess in the back of that church thinking about what a spoiled, selfish piece of shit I was for continuing to poison myself. I looked at my wife and said, "I'm done. I am quitting dip." "I can't do that to you and the kids." I bought some fake chew and stopped… for about a week. I even found a quitting dip support group website that talked about "accountability" and "quitting dipping one day at a time". I looked around. Read some stories and thought, "How can a website and people that I don't even know help me quit dipping?" One of the things I’ve learned since then is that you can’t quit dipping for someone else. I used for another year at the same can a day clip. Every time I bought a can, I said, "This is my last can." I felt more shame, anger and fear with every can I purchased. I knew I had to quit dipping, but honestly did not believe I could. I was sure I'd be dead in 10 years if I continued. I took my last dip after dinner one night. I threw away the can and told my wife I was done. She said, "Whatever. Do it if you want." I've told her I quit dipping so many times that there was no way she believed I would actually quit. Days later I was walking around my house completely confused and feeling like shit. I couldn't focus or remember what I went into a room for. I thought I was going crazy. I searched for help online and found a quitting dip support group similar to the one I scoffed at. Not this time. I had nothing to lose so I dove in. Read everything I could, started an intro, and started meeting quitters The support I received and continue to receive was overwhelming and still blows me away. Life is great as a quitter. I don't think about dip very often and never romanticize about it. I have fucked a lot of things up in my life. This will not be one of them. When we post on the scroll, we are giving our word not to use for the rest of the day. Sound a little hokey? Yeah, I didn't get it when I started either. It gives you something more to rely on than just willpower. It lets you share some of my willpower, and every other dude on this site. Because we don't dip anymore, and we don't want to. It is the last thing I want, because it will throw away hundreds of days of victory and freedom, just like if you quit dipping today and then use tomorrow you will throw away one of the three toughest days of the whole fucking process. What makes us different, besides posting every morning, is that we have overcome the mistaken belief that dip was helping you enjoy all those good times you’ve had in your life, or that it was helping you get through some of the ordeals at other times. It wasn’t. Just keep this in your mind, NAFAR (NEVER again for ANY reason). THE ONLY WAY TO QUIT DIPPING IS TO QUIT DIPPING COLD TURKEY. You might think that there are lots of ways to quit dipping, but there's not. You are likely to be here after hundreds of aborted mini-attempts at quitting dipping. You can't quit dipping halfway.

We are all wired differently, but as far as I am concerned there is only one way to quit dipping, and we have to do the work to wire ourselves to quit dipping like that. There is no physical withdrawal from quitting dip after the first 5 or 6 days, at most. If you are feeling like a vagina, maybe you need someone to tell you. If you have actually quit dipping, you closed the door on nicotine. Fuck craves, you fucking bitch. Goddamn motherfucking pussy. I wired myself to think that way. Just keep repeating it. I slammed the door. Burned the ships. Built a fortress between me and dip. Why can't some people do it? Because they don't want to, or they haven't tried. Maybe they have residual fear of “forever”, which is why a lot of people start newbs off by telling them to quitting dipping “ODAAT” (one day at a time). But that shit is unnecessary if you steel your will and accept nothing but success.... because no one has ever been forced to fail at quitting dip. It’s a choice. There is no magic trick. Stop being a fucking weak piece of shit. Stop talking like you are weak, stop obsessing about dip. Stop being a bitch. I think I can help people "get it" at any time, because all it takes to help them is for them to engage here. If you are strong, we will know it. Even if you are just pretending to be strong, it will work. Remember that the words you use here will help shape your thoughts, and thoughts become actions... so you must consciously change the way you talk, think and act towards nicotine. When a pre-caver engages with their weak will and words full of nicotine romance, we will have someone slap them hard enough across the face to get them to snap out of it. If they don't get it, maybe they leave here and stop trying to quit dipping. Doesn't matter, they were already on that course. If you are going to cave, does it matter if it's today or next year? Not to me. Forever means forever. It begins with the concrete thought that it is possible to quit dipping. I know it is possible to quit dipping, because I did it. Then you need the plan to get to “quit dipping forever”, and we have that here. B+A=Q . Brotherhood + Accountability equals Quit. Nothing can ever change my mind that quitting is good, and slavery is bad. If nothing can ever change my mind, how can I fail? I am in charge of this vessel. I fucking drilled that kind of thinking into my head, for days and weeks. NEVER AGAIN. FUCK YOU DIP. Once that is in place, how could this be difficult? I don't know, I’m quit.

If you are looking for a quit dipping support group, all of the members here quit dipping using the same process, through the accountability offered by this website, and quitting dipping cold turkey. The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. Ready to quit dipping, and wondering if you can do it? Will it be too hard? Prepare for the worst, and deal with the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal as they come. What is the timeline of quitting dip? I never had anywhere near as much trouble as I did during that first week. I was dealing with insomnia, cold sweats, headaches, etc. That could be down the road for you, or you might find a way to head those symptoms off, whether through exercise, drinking water, or using oral fixation substitutes like hard candy, seeds, or fake chew. Listen to the wide variety of advice guys will give you here, and find what works for you. Either way, no looking back, just forward. You will hear “embrace the suck” and this means “remember how this feels, focus on what it means, and never go through it again”. For me it was more a matter of learning to slow down and focus on the craves. Breath deep and know that I can control this. You will find power in beating nicotine.

If you are looking for a quit dipping support group, all of the members here quit dipping using the same process, through the accountability offered by this website, and quitting dipping cold turkey. The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. Before finding Quitting Dip, I was using a substance that was going to be the death of me. Of course, for most of the time that 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 only one way to quit dipping, cold turkey. If you’re reading this and are thinking about quitting dipping, the method on this website works. Accountability is the key to breaking that cycle when it feels impossible to quit. Posting a promise to this support group which says, “I have quit dipping” 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. Brotherhood is the thing that will keep you attached to the accountability, so that you never lose sight of what you've accomplished. Engaging in brotherhood is something that lasts. These things mixed together equals QUIT. 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. It's time to Quit Dipping. You wouldn't be reading this if you didn't know that. People don't casually browse the internet for cures to an addiction that you don't have. You know you are addicted, whether you admit or not.

The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. 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. There was hardly any moment of any day where I wasn't getting my fix. Every waking moment. No buzz, no reason to be doing it... other than scratching that never ending itch. Does that 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 dipping all day? To worry about the consequences? One of the biggest reasons I quit dipping was asking myself the question, “why are you doing this?” It’s a question I was unable to answer, while on the other hand, I found it much easier to answer the question “why should you quit dipping?”. The reasons to quit dipping pile up pretty quickly… Do you want to be in control of your own brain, rather than letting a weed control it? Do you want to be free to do any activity without wondering if you will have enough dip to last through the day, or if you will even be able to chew there? Do you enjoy your good health, or do you want to die from 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 out in your mind before. You know that logically you shouldn’t continue chewing tobacco… but for some reason, you continue. Why? Why do you keeping doing this if you know there is literally no good reason to continue, and so many reasons to quit dipping? The answer is simple: you aren’t taking control of the decision. You’ve allowed the reasonable part of your brain 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 for a while. Don’t think about being quit next month, or next year, think about being quit when you wake up tomorrow, and what an accomplishment that will be. Then 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.

You have decided to quit dipping. Welcome to the greatest decision you have ever made in your life. Find today’s Quitting Dip Plebe Scroll, and put the number 1 next to your name. Make your promise to yourself, and to us, that you will not use tobacco or nicotine of any form today. We all make this promise every morning. For new guys this promise is the grounding that keeps you from dipping throughout the day. For those of us who KNOW that we have quit dipping, the daily promise is a way to remember the addiction and stave off complacency. The fight against nicotine addiction is an ongoing battle. Dipping has taken up a large portion of your life, now is the time to fight back! Read up on everything you can on this forum. Explore. Check out all of the advice and resources we have here. And, most importantly, Quit Dipping Today! If you can promise me that, then I promise to be right alongside you in this battle against dip! Are you waiting for the right time to quit dipping? There isn’t a “right time to quit." Thinking you can wait for that perfect window is an excuse that will lead you back to the can every time. Stopped for two weeks... but now your girlfriend dumped you? Not the right time. Having trouble finding a job? Not the right time. Fast forward, and twenty more years have passed with you shoving that shit in your mouth. When you start reading through the intros here, they will obviously have a very familiar ring. We were just like you before we quit dipping. Now we are nothing like you, the addicted/pathetic you. We are the Quit you, the you that you could be. If you quit dipping, you are going to get a lot stronger, very soon. You are going to feel much better. You are going to develop something that we call a “Quit Dick”. Never seen a giant Quit Dick before? Go head over to the QD showers. We have huge dicks here. That’s just shorthand for... “we’ve developed a mindset that has enabled us to be free from the slavery of nicotine”. Every morning I make a promise to myself and the other dudes here not to dip today. I am committed to doing that every morning. And I will never break that promise. Therefore, I have zero chance of ever chewing again. So I don't need to ever think about it. I don’t need to stress about what life might throw at me. I don’t have white knuckles. Some people get very wrapped up in the difference between cravings and withdrawals and reward centers and urges and blah blah blah. It is very much overcomplicating this shit. I don't give a fuck about any of that. My lizard brain can go fuck itself. I am driving this ship, and nicotine can totally get fucked. That's the mindset, but just the surface. Make a commitment and do yourself a favor by posting your promise not to dip, daily on the quit scroll..

The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. It’s a mental game once you get past the physical withdrawal symptoms of quitting dipping. Those just last a few days. If it helps you early on, avoid the games, bars, and parties. Set yourself up for success at quitting dipping. Either way, I highly recommend fake dip, and keeping a can or two around, even if you don't feel like using it. Chewing gum makes my jaw hurt. Seeds shred my cheeks. For me, I knew fake wouldn’t kill me, so why not? It was a very necessary part for me, to fight the oral fixation. Some guys feel you should quit all at once, that a substitute is just delaying total quit. Me? I used fake as a crutch, until I got past the need for anything in my lip. It can really help when you're out with a bunch of dippers, or on a long drive or some shit and don't feel like dealing with craves. No one ever caved because they had too much fake lying around. This is not a contest to see who can make quitting the hardest, it’s a contest to see who can quit the longest. If you don't want to use fake because you want to beat the oral fixation at the same time, I respect that and lots of dudes have done it that way. But don't discount a tool in your bag just because it didn't help last time last time you tried to quit. There wasn’t a single moment when I romanticized dip because I was using fake. That’s the key. Use fake because you fucking hate nicotine, not because you’re just trying to replace it. Make sense? I didn’t care for Smokey Mountain too much but they offer some free tins of fake dip for new quitters. Hooch is very good. There are a million different brands out there, BUT you have to read carefully because some dickbags market something as tobacco free, but the product contains nicotine. Fuckers. Grinds was good. Jakes was meh. I still have some Teaza in my golf bag. Fake is one tool. This site is a huge tool. Stay quit, at all costs. This will end up being the first time you've actually quit dipping, and that means it's the only time that matters. By the end of my pathetic chew career, right before I quit dipping, I was occasionally falling asleep with dips in, and had learned how to keep a dip in while eating... What's great now is not having one in at all, ever. Dip fucking sucks.

The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. If you stick around and quit dipping, you'll be amazed at how easy it is to spot addict speak. That's what we jump all over and kill - like a cockroach with the heel of a boot. It's like when you're a student and you wonder if the professor can tell whether or not you're paying attention when you're on your laptop in class; if you have the opportunity to get up to the front and start teaching, it's so completely obvious when someone is taking notes, and when someone is scrolling through Facebook. Utterly obvious. The shit you've been spewing (up until today…) is your addiction talking. It's not the real you. We are telling your addiction to fuck off - and you as long as you're intertwined with it. We know the real you is in there, yearning to break-free. Most people won't truly separate from their addiction, it's too scary. So much of our identity was wrapped-up in stuffing that shit in our mouths. But it's Stockholm Syndrome. Shit, dude, I remember thinking once that dip was my only true friend - the only one who never let me down. It's not true. The opposite is true. Your addiction is pure evil and it wants to kill you. Dip never did anything for you except ruin your life, keep you away from your friends and family, and hold you back from becoming the man you were meant to be. When you realize that, you will be beyond angry at dip, like we are. When you truly understand how completely enslaved you were, you will be furious. Embarrassed that you ever let yourself become that loser, and livid at the insanity of a plant controlling your every waking thought. Some people never let it go, even through years of a "stoppage." They always miss it. They always feel like they're kinda missing out, and wish they could have just one more. That's not quit, and that's what we guard against so fiercely here at Quitting Dip. To "become quit" means to truly change. We are restored. With a simple post on the scroll first-thing every morning, our addiction is contained and rendered harmless every day. It's a goddam beautiful thing. We will know the instant the real you shows up here ready to quit dipping. But as long as you're that addict who's just trying to stop long enough to lie to himself that he's not addicted, you'll get nothing but the business-end of our quits.

If you are looking for a quit dipping support group, all of the members here quit dipping using the same process, through the accountability offered by this website, and quitting dipping cold turkey. The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. I was able to quit dipping because I give these guys my word daily. Somehow the days add up and you become the man you were supposed to be. No one was created to be a slave to a plant. I know now that it was holding me back. Keeping me from enjoying life to the fullest. Making me look small to friends and family. Contributing to stress. Making me a slave. A powerless bitch. Now? I am a fucking bad ass. I quit dipping. I never think about or consider using chewing tobacco anymore. I would have never thought that to be possible but it's true. This is a dip quitting support group with members that are a few weeks, months, or years ahead of where you are today. We all decided that we were going to take control of our lives and quit dipping. We've all been sitting where you are today. If you do the work, our method is 100% guaranteed. We are here to help with quitting dipping.  Think about holding on to a “trophy can” to prove you are strong enough to look at it without using it? Dumb. Think you need to keep a can for “just in case”? There is absolutely no sense in keeping an emergency can around. That's like an alcoholic keeping a sixer in the fridge, just in case. Neither are fully invested in their quits. If you don't fully invest in quitting dip, you fail. There are a bunch of guys in your corner, rooting for you to win. You need to quit dipping, it could save your life. There is nothing that fucking weed ever did for you except get its hooks in you, and make you pay a shit-ton of money for a chance at cancer. Fuck that. You’ve made a great decision, now it's just a matter of sticking to the plan. Fight through the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal minute by minute if you have to. Start by putting your name on the quit scroll, promising not to use. That's a promise you made to yourself, and to all of us. A real man of integrity never goes back on his promises ... his word carries value. Wake up tomorrow, and first fucking thing make that again. Once completed, using is off the table! That's the beauty of our system. Embrace it, freedom is on the other side!! It's gonna suck until it doesn't. We're all here to tell you, from 7 days quit to 2000+ days quit ... the juice is worth the squeeze. It's time to Quit Dipping. You wouldn't be reading this if you didn't know that. People don't casually browse the internet for cures to an addiction that you don't have. You know you are addicted, whether you admit or not. You're not sure? Are you scared of the withdrawal symptoms of quitting dip? Have you ever tried to quit before, and failed? How many times? Do you know all the stages of quitting dipping, except the only one that matters, permanence? No matter what strategy you have employed in the past, we all know it hasn’t worked. This place will. 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. We know, because we all survived them. They're actually not that hard to manage if you have the correct mindset. No, you're not more addicted than we were. No, we don't care what brand you used to chew. Yes, 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.

Throwback Thursday Back when I was a slave to the can, I wouldn’t leave the house without that weed, planning trips, outings, shopping at the grocery store.....all centered around whether or not I had to go out of the way, across town to the one convenience store that i knew had the freshest cans. So much wasted time and energy. Back when I was a slave to the can, there were times I’d have to dig between the couch cushions, under the car seats & there were times I actually had to borrow money out of my kids piggy bank to buy more dip. 20+ years of dipping at increasing prices. So much wasted cash. Back when I was a slave to the can, every tooth ache, canker sore & sore throat was terrifying. Was it Cancer? Did my bad decisions finally catch up? I’d stop for a few days until things cleared up, then the master would demand more time & money from me..... Then I woke the fuck up. I didn’t want to live scared of self imposed cancer. I wanted to QUIT dipping forever, not just stop. I wanted to QUIT. I found QuittingDip.com and realized I had been going about quitting tobacco all wrong. Cold Turkey is the only way that works with brotherhood and accountability. My quit number is a badge of honor to me. Posting my promise not to use nicotine every morning is a privilege. Having these brothers and sisters supporting me is a privilege. You can quit your addiction to nicotine and tobacco forever. Join, log in & post your promise today. And tomorrow. And forever. Leave being a slave in the past. Give that poisonous weed the finger & see how much better life is when you’re free. THE ONLY WAY TO QUIT DIPPING IS TO QUIT DIPPING COLD TURKEY. You might think that there are lots of ways to quit dipping, but there's not. You are likely to be here after hundreds of aborted mini-attempts at quitting dipping. You can't quit dipping 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. Why do you want to extend the length of time that you experience the withdrawal symptoms of quitting dipping anyway? Get it over with. Rip the band aid off. Put that shit in the rear view mirror. When you are in the cycle of being desperate to quit dipping, but terrified of actually 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 dipping cold turkey is to join this site, and start posting.

Just throw up a post somewhere, someone is going to see it, and help you learn how to quit dipping. You can also post below with questions or comments before you sign up. 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. We want to give you help to quit dipping, but you have to help yourself first.

If you are looking for a quit dipping support group, all of the members here quit dipping using the same process, through the accountability offered by this website, and quitting dipping cold turkey. The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. 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 ourselves 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. That's a start. It's time to Quit Dipping. You wouldn't be reading this if you didn't know that. People don't casually browse the internet for cures to an addiction that you don't have. You know you are addicted, whether you admit or not. You're not sure? Are you scared of the withdrawal symptoms of quitting dip? Have you ever tried to quit before, and failed? How many times?

The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. Lots of people come here with the wrong ideas about how to quit dipping, or they’re quitting dip for the wrong reasons. But if you stick around long enough to get hammered into submission by people that know more than you, there's a part deep down that wants to quit dipping, and not beholden to nicotine. But special butterflies that come in here, drop their worthless excrement of nicotine love, and then disappear are much more difficult to support. One must leave landmines of quitting wisdom here and there and hope one of these dipsticks runs over them. It's a much less effective formula for molding quitters. If you're too good for us, too smart and too cool for this quitting dip support group, that's awesome. Peace out. Start your own site to quit dipping where you make the rules. I hate to just give up on people, no matter how stubborn or hardheaded they may be. I too am an asshole to deal with. It took me a while to get to the realization that I was really cared for and wanted here, because of the way I came in to Quitting Dip. We don't require conformity. The diversity of this place is what makes it wonderful. Yes, we are all white-ass-cracker males, but we couldn't be a bigger band of misfits and beautifully different in every way. Every way but one. We are a tribe. Bound together by a common affliction. An insidious nicotine addiction that requires eternal and constant vigilance. Together we are unstoppable, unbreakable, and unbeatable. If there's one thing that I've managed to reconcile in my tiny little head, it's that quitting dip with a brotherhood of like minded motherfuckers makes my quit that much stronger. You have to know what quit is before you can really quit dipping. Anything less than full commitment is likely to lead to failure. The selection of douchebags here are the 20% that get it done. But there's no half ass quit, or "I don't need to be as committed" or "I want to be able to hookah to bang chicks." There's no half ass option, in my opinion. There's no such thing as half ass cancer; there should be no half ass quit. I make a promise every morning to these guys that I will not use any form of tobacco for today. We will keep each other quit. One bad decision is all it takes & this place and these guys are my guard against it. It's only my promise for today and I'm only as good as my word. It's not a binding promise if I'm only making it to myself. It's been an important part of my day for almost 4 years now.

The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. Quitting when I was in college didn't seem like that big a deal, and there's no way I could have quit without knowing what a big deal quitting dip actually is. Took me 20 years to find these dudes and quit dipping. I hope you realize that saving your life is a very big fucking deal, and that you use this resource to the fullest, in order to quit dipping. I had always told myself that I was stronger than my addiction, that I had control of it, and could quit anytime I wanted to, and then never did. It turns out I was right, I can control my addiction, and I could have quit anytime I wanted to, but I couldn’t do it alone. It takes accountability and knowledge. Both of those can be received here. I have an immense feeling of shared ownership and pride in what we are doing here at QuittingDip. Quitting dip. It's right there in the name. We have never strayed from the message, and there is such freedom of movement in terms of starting threads, posting & mixed media. It's like a hippie commune but instead of patchouli it reeks with a thick testosterone musk of quit. Quitters gon quit. Quitters get strong, and the strong get stronger. Remember that there's nothing mystical about any activity without dip. You are in control. Going out on the town, fishing, mowing the grass...etc. is no excuse to give in, and they are no harder or less enjoyable without a cancer wad in your mouth. This is the absolute truth. Never realized how much nicotine seemed to desensitize or reduce mental awareness. Nicotine withdrawal is a drastic tax on your attention, putting in a dip and relaxing that drain for a few minutes is not the same thing as improving attention. I explained it to someone the other day. It's like struggling to read on your phone at night, then realizing the brightness is turned down. Quitting dip is the equivalent to turning up the brightness level on life. Also, think of the time spent hitting up the corner store and that constant anxiety of running out. Fuck that shit dude. Fuck being on a first name basis with homeboy behind the counter. Fuck feeling that certain pocket for a second time to make sure you didn't forget the can. Spend some time strengthening your hate for nicotine. Go look at relapse rates and then consider what we are doing here. You are essentially about to join the Seal Team 6 of quitters. There are other forums that you can post on where no one will bug you about posting your promise not to dip daily. After a few months there, no one will even notice that you missed a day or a week. Fuck that crap. Keep your edge. Get aggressive against dip. Hold yourself to a higher standard. Or you can go back to the can for the next 15-25 years, solely because you aren't willing to put in the work. We are the Japanese WWII soldiers still hiding in the woods into the early 1980's because the war isn't over for us. We are never giving in. Because we care about quitting dipping.

All of the members here quit dipping using the same process, through the accountability offered by this website, and quitting dipping cold turkey. The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. I started Dipping and smoking around the age of 16. Most of my good buddies were doing it so it seemed like the social thing to do. My addiction grew in my college years and got to the point prior to my quit where the only time I didn't have a dip in my mouth seemed to be when I was sleeping or eating. Ultimately I got fed up with being controlled Many of us open this door thinking that quitting dipping is about doing it for other people or external reasons; everything and everyone but ourselves. While many others in your life will benefit when you quit dipping, they will have no influence on a successful quit. The only one that truly cares about you and your addiction is you, and the addicts that quit dipping with you here. My wife was very happy when I quit, but 3 years later she pays my addiction to nicotine no mind (nor should she).I live my life normally now, free from nicotine 's grasp, but I quit dipping first thing at QD everyday. Quitting dipping works when you draw a line in the sand, and choose to get your life back. This is your life and this is the time that you will succeed. We support you but we ain't gonna do it for you. You just have to get through today. Take it hour by hour, minute by minute. Withdrawals differ from addict to addict but 4 days is typical. Once you get through today you can deal with tomorrow when it gets here. Whenever you get a craving, just close your eyes and breathe, and it should pass. I found that when my cravings hit, I would count to 30 out loud. Normally by the end of 10 it was gone. Everyone here has been in your shoes, and we have your back so long as your name is on the scroll and you honor your promise. The next few days won't be fun but you never have to do them again. There is nothing you'll face that will make you dip, which is to say--you're in complete control. Soon you will transition from romancing nicotine to hating nicotine. All nicotine does is keep you using it. I used to think that dipping was giving me something to do when I had nothing to do. I bet we ALL used to think that if we were bored, throwing in a fatty would pass the time. So, that there is pure addict speak, because when you think about it...is putting turd in your mouth and spitting really doing something? Like, are you really less bored? It's just one of the chains of addiction we must break ...dipping out of boredom doesn't make you less bored. You’re just finding a way to rationalize your usage at that moment, an action spurned by the lizard brain that needs its chemical. But in every aspect of life, work, your time in the woods, your time in a boat… those are activities that you used to do with a dip in your mouth, and maybe you think that you can’t do them without one. You can. And it’s better. Once you've quit dipping, all of those same things are just going to be things you do. Period. Any good vibes you have about you and your favorite can are all lies and addict speak.

The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. One of the keys to quitting dipping is the mental shift from missing dip, to being mad at it. Get pissed, brother. That shit never did ANYTHING for you. It never made anything better; it didn't make you cool, or sexy, or smart, or tough...it only made you a pussy. Quitting is WINNING. You are taking back your life, man. I was thinking about quitting dipping while on a long drive I had this morning for a business meeting. That used to be a dip time for me. Today I didn't even think about the fact that I was going to be driving without dip. Didn't miss it. Why? Because I'm quit as fuck, that's why. Actually, I was specifically better off on that drive without dip. All of the time and energy that I would have normally spent thinking about making sure I had a can and a spitter and enough time to sit in the parking lot for a few minutes, I instead spent mentally preparing for my meeting. Since nicotine is a vasoconstrictor (causes your arteries to constrict), that chew I used to have on the way to meetings literally inhibited my ability to think creatively. One piece of advice I can say is to cling to this forum as if your life depends on it. I know my first days in the fog I didn't get shit done at work but I read, read and read some more. You will learn a lot doing this. One of my favorites was centurion speeches. Learn from guys that have had success at quitting dipping and mimic what they do.

The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. Once I realized that this method of quitting dip was gonna work, where no others had, the next thing I did was start telling the people in my life that I had quit dipping, in order to kill that sneaky addict who had become my identity for over 30 years. Your willingness to shine a light on your addiction outside of this forum is a strong indication that you are actually quit. I told people that previously had no idea I even dipped, and I worked with them every day for years. Sneaky bastard with a dip on one side and some extra strength gum on the other. I let nicotine own me. You need to take the time to get to know people here, and let them get a chance to know you. That is half of the entire left side of the equation A + B = Q. (Accountability + Brotherhood = Quit). Without the brotherhood, there is no accountability. Without either, you are on your own. In the past, we have constantly let ourselves down when it comes to our addiction to nicotine. And everyone here would again, eventually, without the accountability. It shouldn't be long before you realize that you don't need multiple layers of safeguards. It's simple- integrity. Look it up if you aren't clear on what that is. Grab a hold of yours and this shit is a no-brainer. This place isn't about resets, so do not put that shit in your mouth for any reason. You are quit. Not trying to quit. Quit. From day one we preach you quit for yourself. No one causes us to cave. We each make and own the decision to keep or break our promise each day. Flush that worn out excuse book. Its time to own it. Relationship, job, health or whatever life stress hits us is just life, and has nothing to do with being quit. You don't get back at a shitty job, a nagging spouse, or a disease by shoving shit in your mouth. You win against those things by being the best you can be in spite of those things. You win by being a man of your word who can respect the man looking back at him in the mirror. What do you see in that mirror? What are you going to do about it?

The following was written recently by a member of Quitting Dip. The reason that you’ve never been able to quit dipping in the past is that you did it your way. Guess what? Your way sucks and doesn't work, obviously. So you need to quit dipping the QD way, which includes interacting with people who have been where you are right now. My quit is basically self-perpetuating at this point. Because I invested heavily in the brotherhood and accountability method at the onset of my quit and now it's deeply ingrained. That's how to quit dipping. Nothing makes me think about dip, nothing worries me, I don't give a fuck about chewing tobacco, cigarettes, or cigars. It’s the same way I won't spend one second of the day thinking about heroin. Because I don't do that shit either. My mind is exactly as strong as that of a person who never smoked or chewed, in that if someone offered a chew to them, they would be like "why would I want to do that?" Except stronger, because I will fucking kill you with my bare hands sooner than I would take that dip out of your hand, fuckstick. That shit feels good. But while my mind is never on dip, my quit is on my mind a lot. Your quit has to have value to you.My quit is a prized possession. If it doesn't matter to you, then you aren't going to protect it. You should know that’s how we all feel about our quits. They are important enough to create this brotherhood to collectively protect our quits. It requires maintenance. You will have quit highs and lows. This place offers a way to keep your quit strong. The days with few challenges are when the bullshit keeps us engaged. The Speeches and such can lift us when we are down. The victory threads offer a place to share our wins. That is about quit maintenance. Despite the addiction being firmly in a bulls-eye and in my rearview mirror, I will be here, because I dig it. And I'll be on the scroll as soon as I wake up, just like every fucking morning since the day I quit, because I need to be.
