Looking to give up dip.

I've tried cold turkey, seeds, gum and other alternatives. However I never really gave the Non Tobacco natural dips a shot. Does anyone have any experience with these so they can shed some light? Help is appreciated.

Never tried the non-tobacco. I just had to do it cold turkey. I can't tell you how many attempts it took for me to quit before I was actually able to stick it out and get over it. I still have my cravings, but I just find something to do to take my mind away from it.

Chug water. That's what worked for me. Every time I wanted to have a dip, I just filled my water bottle and told myself to keep drinking. Something about that was able to make me forget dip, as I was just worried about getting hydrated at that point. You can give that a shot.

Honestly, finding alternatives for oral fixation is a terrible idea. Then you just become dependent on something else. Sure, other things are better for you, but the dependency, to me, is the worst part about addiction.

Thanks for the post.

I quit on and off for years. Tried the mint replacement products, but they just dried my mouth out. I took my last dip July 14, 2010. Have not looked back. Finding a lump in my jaw scared the sh*t out of me and eliminated any cravings earlier this year. Now I can pound a case of beer around people that are dipping and not crave one. I went and dropped $2000 on a CT Scan of my jaw to make sure the lump wasn't anything and it wasn't, but to the day I am still worried about oral cancer. I only dipped about once a day unless I was drinking. What helped me was looking at my two kids and imagining them without me. Also, any time you have a craving, go to WebMD and search mouth/oral cancer.

SBVG....you lost all that weight man...sounds like you have the will power and self discipline. Just use that and think of all the poo that dip is doing to you....in my best Rob Sneider voice...

you can do it

Chewing tobacco was my crutch during my weight loss. Whenever a craving hit I would throw in a dip. But you're right.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
