Hon, I am having the same problem. Stopped cigarettes when trying to get pregnant and ended up dipping instead. It's such a nasty habit, isn't it? And I worry about cancer of the mouth. But damnnnnnn, that dip sure is satisfying!

Anyhow, I've had moderate success using nicotine gum, but it's pretty expensive. Right now I use the gum during the week and still dip on weekends....I'm trying to wean myself off the dip slowly. It's hard cause when I don't dip I tend to want to eat, and I'm diabetic so I have to be careful with that.

Well, the gum is my only suggestion. My husband tried on and off to quit dipping (he's the one who got me started) for months and then one day he coughed up a bit of blood and that was it...he's been dip free for about 2 months now.
