Today is day 4 of not chewing.  I have made it this far without nicotine replacement, however, I believe nicotine replacement might give me a better chance of longterm success.  Any suggestion from folks who have chewed for 30 plus years?

Not the most social person on here. EX still can help..

While I would not consider myself to be the most social user on here. I just wanted to let other non social, ex-smokers, dippers, chewers, vapors, etc know that the information on this site, will be of great help.  For me it's been 3 days without dipping.

How I started

I had my first dip when I was 12 then chewed on and off until I was 15. I even bragged to my friends that I couldn’t get addicted because at first they had to have it everyday and I could go a few days without it or weeks. At 15 I was addicted. I tried it
