smrphf 0 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I dip constantly when I play poker. Keeps me alert and my roommate wont let me smoke in the apartment, even though he smokes too which sucks when it is negative 10 degrees outside. anyway, i went a long time without dipping for about 2 years. It sux, u will be pissed off and unlikeable for at least 2 - 3 weeks. My only advice is that u just make it through and the withdrawl will go away eventually. After that though, life is much better.

aneurysm 0 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Yes. I've been waiting for this topic. I dip like mad. Maybe I'll snap a picture of my tin collection and post it some time. Of course I'll need to dig up this thread as I am far too lazy to do it now... Link to post Share on other sites

Duff_Man 0 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I actually have a pinch of Apple Skoal in right now. I really need to quit also. 1) Because it's getting to be pretty darned expensive $6 a can and 2) I'm going to be a daddy for the first time in 4 months (figured that's the best reason to quit). It's definitly hard to quit, the longest I went was 3 weeks, then I had a crappy day at work and decided to pick up a can on my way home. My wife's always begging me to stop. I'm weird in the sense that chewing doesn't bother me but I absolutly hate cigaretts. I've never smoked anything my entire life, not even a cigar. Good luck I hope you pull it off.Duff Link to post Share on other sites
BilliardsBoy 0 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I do not derp, but I play with people who do, most notably Jay. From a non-dip player, I appreciate the dipping at a table when the player could smoke instead. At a lot of home games, the air is dense with smoke, so dense that its almost unfair to the lot of us that don't smoke. Derpn' has the benefit of not affecting the players around you. So I say derp on good sirs! :clap: :bubblethanks: Think of me and the players around you the next time you pinch. Link to post Share on other sites
EJ333 0 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I quit a long time ago. For the first two weeks I was incredibly irritable. I yelled at a tree for dropping a leaf. After three or four weeks I was ok. Link to post Share on other sites

NicksDad1970 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I started dipping when I was 9. By the time I was 27 I was dipping 2 cans a day. I started the day out by brushing my teeth, drinking a Mountain Dew (to get the flouride taste out of my mouth), put a dip in THEN get in the shower. I've now quit for about 6 years or so. It was by far the hardest thing I've ever done. Link to post Share on other sites
jayistheman 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 i dip in the shower too.... worst part by far tho is all of the spitters in my room... if they arent capped, they start to stink Link to post Share on other sites
Duff_Man 0 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 i dip in the shower too.... worst part by far tho is all of the spitters in my room... if they arent capped, they start to stinkI can honestly say I've never even considered dipping in the shower. I knew a guy that would fall asleep with a dip in. And of course he had half a tooth fall off. Do you think that got him to quit...NO CHANCE. My bid to quit has already failed. I was really sick last week, so sick that I wasn't eating or anything. I thought that that would be a perfect time to quit seeing as how I went 5 days without one. Yeah that lasted all of one shift at work. Oh well I'll quit after I finish the can I just bought...yeah right.Duff Link to post Share on other sites
