Ah, a topic here at M4C.net for which I am finally a SME . I'm coming up on my 2 year anniversay of quitting the dip train. I was doing a can a day for 12 years and before that had been smoking for the previous 12 years. I wasn't just a dipper I was a swallower (that's what she said!) and was sure I would die of stomach cancer before oral cancer. If I was awake I had a dip in.
Anyway, I had all but given up on ever being able to quit until I talked about it with my doctor. He suggested I give Chantix a shot. It's a med that is usually used for smoking cessesation and he wasn't sure it would really work with smokeless tobacco but he still suggested I try it. Tell you what that shit was a miracle drug for me. With Chantix you continue with tobacco through the first week or so while you are on the drug and then you quit cold. I haven't had a craving for nicotine since the day I took my last dip. I continued on Chantix for about 3 months and haven't had any nicotine since and don't miss it. Apparently it only works in about 60% of the people who use it, but if your in that 60% it can change your life and I don't say that lightly.

As the great warrior poet Ice-Cube once said, "If the day does not require an AK, it is good."
