    Nice. I quit dipping on Jan 1. Ive never done the NYE resolution before, but for some reason, I just made up mind I was going to do it that day. Hardest thing Ive ever done. Its gotten easier, but I still think about a lot. I had to admit I cant just have one. Only thing Ive ever struggled with.

    Chris.

    I quit dipping 23 years ago, after having a 9 yr addiction. I was working frequently with this POS who would never buy chew, and kept bumming one off of me. I told him I was going to quit to spite him. Biggest thing I did was remove myself from those situations which I wanted a chew. I limited interaction with those that did chew. When I got the urge to have a dip, I went for a walk. Lost 15 lbs in the process. I swallowed, so I drank a lot of soda to cut the juice. Quit drinking sodas, coffee, etc. I quit shopping at convenience stores because the temptation was right at the counter. I started noticing how much more money I had, and started getting nicer things. More women were interested in me, since I had a whiter smile, no grains in my teeth, and normal facial symmetry. Life changed, and it was easy to stay away after that. Now the smell of Copenhagen makes me nauseous.

    Key points:
    1) Find a valid motivator to quit. Something you really want to do. Remember it. Make it your mantra
    2) Remove yourself from those bad influences. Don't go to bars, convenience stores, casinos, etc. Don't hang with people that smoke. Don't let them smoke in your spaces, i.e. car, house, etc.if you do.
    3) Find a healthy or useful activity to do when you have the urge. Go on a walk. Build a model. Do household chores.
    4) Be mindful and appreciative of the way your life changes when you take action toward quitting.
    5) Find someone to support you on your journey. Being able to talk to some other people who were supportive of my want to quit helped.

    Good luck on your journey.

    Still dip free, no relapses. I still struggle with the desire, just not as often.

    Was a smoker for 13 years. I didn't even know I was gonna quit until my last. I smoked about twenty cigarettes a day before I quit. I never knew I'd quit, hadn't planned or put any effort into doing so. I fell sick one day and my fever was about 103.5. I then smoked a cigarette and it felt like putting charcoal in my mouth, it was then I felt my mind actually taking over and doing the right thing and for the first time, I stubbed one to the ground halfway. It's been a year since I quit and haven't looked back. So for all those who wanna quit, hang in there you never know a moment that can actually bring that change.
