Eh. I haven't been as good. I'm trying to wean myself back down to 3 dips or so a day from 5 or 6 again.

It gets frustrating Raitch. But dont let it get you down. I tried to quit lot of times before it took. The first step is deciding that you want to. You've done that and the is a HUGE step. Hang in there and you will get it.

There's 'wanting to' and then there's 'wanting to'. Intellectually, i want to....habitually, i don't want to. Just a tough thing.

There's 'wanting to' and then there's 'wanting to'. That may well be one of the best quotes I have ever heard and with your permission I will use it again! It sounds overly simplistic, but I could not say it any better myself. That is applicable to a lot of things.

I'll put it this way: if i KNEW there would be no health consequences from it, i'd never quit.

Also, there are levels of 'want'. Intellectually i 'want' to quit because i know it would be good for my overall health. Emotionally, chemically, habitually, etc. i 'want' a dip, many times throughout the day.

It felt like I "quit" 100 times before it finally stuck. Like Bankbb said, you've decided to quit - that can be almost as hard as actually quitting. Remember that you're not starting over - just dust your pants off and get back on the horse; you'll get there!

I'm also smoking 1-2 cigarettes a day. ![frown frown](/forum/images/graemlins/default/frown.gif) (I smoked before i ever dipped, and .....this is just me.....i could never smoke again WAY easier than never dipping again.)

Also, i've chewed tobacco (just mention it cuz many people seem to think chewing and dipping are synonymous, and they aren't. In my experience, chewing isn't nearly as addictive--nor as enjoyable--as dipping.)
TR thanks.....i just have to see where it goes. As i said earlier, for me, there's 'wanting' to and then there's 'wanting' to.

Geeze Raitch, I can remember being in college and having in a dip, a chew, drinking a beer and smoking a cigar. If I'd had another hand I would have needed another drug. ![crazy crazy](/forum/images/graemlins/default/crazy.gif) You will beat it, just keep plugging away at it.

I once tried smoking a cigarette whilst having a dip......the cigarette taste ruined the dip for me.....was impossible for me to taste the dip properly.
