NotSloth Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 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.
