Gator,
Glad you were able to quit the dip, as it is very difficult to quit. You must have been very determined (I am a dental professional, so will give you extra applause for quiting ) Sugarless mints/gum are good substitutes if you ever get cravings for that tobacco.

Good luck with your ongoing progress, and I hope things continue to get better for you.

Thank you. Thanks for reading my story. It was rough, the dependence, but the urges weren't as bad as the other times I quit it. I think I was over it. I used the nicotine patches (and later gum) starting in the hospital. I did chew gum for a while after I quit the nicotine gum.
