Quit dipping 3 years ago. Dipped for 12 years prior to. Nothing worked for me either. It was a mental weakness that i allowed to control my life until i decided it was not going to any more.

I didn’t even read the rest of the posts below this one. This is what you have to do. I told myself I wasn’t going to allow tobacco control me, I’m better than that. 10 years clean after 10 years dipping. You can do it too

Try to get them to quit too. When you start preaching it, you can’t let yourself be a hypocrite. As hard as it is be the leader.

Sometimes it takes life changing events to open our eyes. We are all guilty in some form or fashion..

I had a mild stroke when I was 37, no cause found, no issues since. I’m not overweight, in decent shape. Let me tell you my diet is twice as healthy now as it was before that, amazing how a little fear can motivate you.

Its not going to be easy but with determination and willpower you can overcome this addiction.

1. Sign up at https://ktcforum.org/index.php#c2 (forum for quitters)
2. Flush dip down toilet
3. Pledge to all the folks in your quit group (month based) that you won't dip today.
4. Repeat daily.

This worked for me. I dipped for about 18 years and I'm 798 days nicotine free. Please pm if you need anything at all @DaWiz9578

The above website is the saddle hunter equivalent of "killing the can" its a great wealth of knowledge and tons of support. I'll be happy to quit with you today.

PS- honestly Jake's mint chew is the closest thing I could find.

I happened to see this post from mcchvey's the first time I was on this forrum and I am so thankful that mcchevy took the time to share the word about "KilltheCan". You never know who is listening. I was listening and his post really caught my attention. I'm 60, have been chewing for 40 years, have "quit" a couple times for as long as 6 mos - but I promise you, this is the real deal.
At first I was kind of thinking huh? really? I need to join some group to get the support and help I need to beat my addiction!

YES!!! That is exactly what I need because I sure can't do it by myself. I am a slave to nicotine and I don't think I could have ever quit myself. I am addicted to one of the most powerful drugs on the planet. So I looked into the KicktheCan forum and I liked what I saw. I planned my quit and quit on Feb 1, 2020. 10 days already and it's going really well. I go to bed earlier, I get up earlier, I have CRAZY super detailed dreams and I actually put my hand in my pocket once in a while like I'm grabbing my can of chew. Only 10 days but I know this is for real. Not only do I pledge to the folks in my KTC quit group every day (day #10 for me and I promise I won't use nicotine today!) but I also pledge the same thing to my friends and family.

I am fortunate that I didn't "have" to quit for an obvious medical problem.

I hope my post will be seen by someone that will accept the help from ktcforum.org
