[NotSloth]

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 above was written by a member of Quitting Dip. If you are looking for a 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 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.
