Something in my group @ the 2nd site but I wanted to share with everyone because it pertains to all of you.


Quittin' Spittin' Crew April 2007
Thursday, January 1, 2008

mylilsecret = 729 .. Congrats Pitt .. and to all of us!!!
crip723 yeah! MLS hits 2 years[/quote]

Actually crip, it won't officially be two years quit for another 6 1/2 hours. But thank you!

Since quitting each milestone, (100 days, 500 days one year) I'd put out there I'd like to celebrate by dinner or a card .. heck even a hug and like I've said before ... the mentality in my household is if nothing is mentioned about my "previous lifestyle" then it really just didn't exist.

For some reason an hour ago, I told my husband tomorrow is my two year anniversary without dip. And since I've never celebrated with my family if we (my three boys, him and I) could get dressed up and have a fancy dinner out. To my surprise he agreed. (yes, griped about the $ but I also pushed out there that I've saved $4,118.45 since quitting.) Wow!

I called my mother and asked her to join us. Why? Well, my father and her are alcoholics and have been ever since I can remember. I haven't been in contact with him in years but have been told he still drinks but on the otherhand .. my mother has been sober since April of 1998 and I want to celebrate her sobriety with mine.

With the economy, so many obstacles, so many medical setbacks, so many eye openers throughout this process .. I, thank you each of you from the bottom of my heart for standing by me, for listening to me cry on days I didn't feel like making it and for believing in me when others near me and close didn't have enough courage to do so; .. fearing I once again would fail.

Thank YOU for doing all this, .... all this for your little sis and to think physically most of us have never met. And though that may be true please always remember one thing .... you are and always will be a part of my family.

I celebrate not just two years but every day! Each day I gain a little more power against this evil addiction. I asked that you celebrate your quit whether you're on day one or day a million and one. Set all our quit days aside, we're addicts ;earning how to stay clean.

Tonight when I raise my glass, ............ my toast will not be for myself, and not for my mother but for all of us who put in the hours, ... the days .. the blood, sweat and tears, .... those who've struggled yet put in the simple moments to stay quit. That my quit brothers and sisters to you, I say CHEERS!

Your little sister,

So Now What?


You've finally made the decision to quit. .............. Well, let me be the first to congratulate you.


Umm, so now what?

It's not easy as you know and all of us before coming here have tried quitting several times only to fail again and again. Truthfully, your quit here will be so much different than any of your last attempts.

First, you have what's called your quit group. These are men and women quitting their addiction to the same substance that brought you here to begin with. Your group will enter the Hall of Fame (HOF) after 100 days. Within your group you'll be able to share, vent and yes argue amongst one another. This creates your bond, ..... your brotherhood.

Second, accountability is used here just like in any other recovery atmosphere. When you post your user name and quit date, you are pledging for that day ONLY you will remain free from any form of tobacco/nicotine. Remember your pledge is for that day! Do not think ahead. I promise you the first days are hell but they are doable. You'll go through many physical, mental and emotional withdrawals. Day 1 to 3 more physical. Headaches, body aches, stomach cramps, constipation, jaw pain, mouth sores .. heck, I could go on and on. But believe me it's normal. Drink lots of water to flush out your system. All that nicotine that was once cycling itself rapidly through your veins has diminished.

On Day 4 to ?, you unfortunately are about to begin with what I like to call "Mental Pursuit". You are about to pursue your sanity. Believe me there were times I thought I had the good me on one shoulder and a bad me on the other. And yes, both were constantly bickering on why I should or shouldn't buy a can of snuff or take just one dip. It does seem little funny now but during the time I almost said screw it - - JUST GIVE ME A CAN! But I didn't. You know why? Accountability to my quit group. I posted that day!

Also you'll be less likely to concentrate. (The Fog) You may feel somewhat lost or confused. You will experience dip dreams. A dream as if you've taken a dip and betrayed your group. Some of these dreams seem very real but they are normal to have.

The mind games I hate to say will last through out your recovery but they do thankfully become less and less frequent. During the next few months you'll start to gain confidence and then that's when the emotional part comes into play. You'll have feelings of loneliness and abandonment. You might also feel as if you've lost a friend or the death of a loved one. This is the beginning of your healing. During this time you'll retrain your brain. Remember those every day activities you did with dip? Well, you now can do them without it. It's hard! But it can be done. And it takes time .. try not to be hard on yourself. It doesn't happen overnight or within a few weeks. I never thought I would be able to write again yet I started to realize I didn't need a big wad of dip to write. I just needed my confidence.

Last but not least, you'll need the support and resources. That's where all the others here and I come into play. In order to be successful you must be willing to make friends, get phone numbers and chat. Honestly, we're not shy! .. umm, k .. maybe I am a bit .. =) Yeah right! .. And don't be afraid to read! Educate yourself because knowledge is your strength!



Some final footnotes:

Never underestimate the power of addiction.

After 100 days (HOF) don't let your confidence get the best of you.

Your recovery is a progress in work.

Never look ahead. Think only of today. You can make it through.

You'll constantly have high and low points in life but none of which is worth putting a dip in for.

Dipping will not get rid of or get you a job, spouse, money, a Lamborghini, mistress, promotion or for that matter the execution of a co-worker who got your promotion. - - - - Just Deal With It! =P

===============================================================

I hope this in some way will familiarize you to what the site is all about!

... Helping you stay quit!

It is absolutely amazing to me how everyone is looking for a little pill to make their New Year's resolutions easy. Over the last couple of days, I've been seeing countless commercials for all different kinds of weight loss pills, male enhancement pills, and of course NRT in all of its equally addictive forms. When I decided to quit, I don't think I was much different than the audience these commercials are targeting. I would have jumped at a miracle cure for that predicament I had gotten myself into.

Thankfully, I realized somewhere along the way that it was going to be work and sucky ass work at that. But looking back on it, it was worth it. I have beaten a very powerful addiction and made some pretty goo friends doing it.

So if you are looking to make good on a New Year's resolution to stop dipping, this community can help. If you are looking for a magical place that will turn back time and erase the {insert the amount of time you dipped here} and make you a non-dipper, this won't work. It is a difficult journey, but the many here will make it bearable. And I promise that the freedom you will gain will be well worth the trials you face getting there.

Well I'm back again. Sorry to all the members I have hurt in the past. As you all know, we are addicts and part of addiction is hiding, lying, sneaking around, and doing things that hurt others and ourselves. I cannot change my past or give excusses for my cave. I can only look at today and make the decission to not use tobacco for the day. I continue to use my past as a learning experience and try to change and be a better person. I am hopeful of a better year in 2009 as 2008 had ups and lots of downs for me. I believe I am stronger and expect struggles along the way to my recovery. I hope to gain some new friends and re connect with old quitters as well. Please accept me back and hold me accountable!

get it done this time...
Many of us grow up with the idea that mistakes are bad, linking our self-esteem with continued success. We become afraid of making mistakes. So in order to achieve success, we tend to steer clear of areas that may lie outside the apparent realm of our natural talent. In this perverse equation, the secret of success becomes avoiding failure, leaving much of our potential untapped.

In order to reach our full potential to learn, we must accept and then transform anxiety and fear, relentlessly seeking accurate information on our performance. What used to be perceived as criticism now becomes a gift for constructive growth. To maximize our learning it is essential to ask: "How can we get the most from every mistake we make?" --- Author: Michael Gelb and Tony Buzan

If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that. --- Author: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Question from a newbie.
When I was first surfing this site and trying to get registered I ran across a page that on the bottom had a spot to record quit date, money saved etc. Well I have been all over the boards trying to find it again so I can record there but I ain't guessing the right page! Can anyone direct me to which page that was? Thanks.

Hi everyone. I'm on day 2. The first day was hard. Especially having to deal with an argumentive fiancee. We fussed since she got home until after midnight. Some of you were on yesterday when it started. Now she called off the wedding and shit. But not sure if she is serious or not. And wants me to move out.

But you know what? I'm not gonna be pressured back into my habit.I came close to going to the store last night. But I brushed it off.

Mine isn't that bad, I just have a nagging wife who has made me want to gouge my eyes out with a spoon. If you can make it through that on day 1 and not cave you've got more resolve than I think I would. Better luck today bro.

MS, hang in there! You have to remember quitting dip is going to make you especially irritable right now. I live with my fiancee and she too has experienced the wrath of my bad attitude the last few days. Brush it off, know that you are not thinking clearly (sounds like neither is she!).

QuittinTime was quick to tell me yesterday to not rage on her, come to these boards and post a rant about what an unbeleivable bitch she is, etc. - whatever you want to write about. Spill it, just not on her!

Also, know that you are making a great choice to quit dip - make your body healthy and a strong, healthy relationship will follow.

Funny, I don't remember telling you this yesterday.........but it does sound like something I might say. You sure it was me, bro? :huh:

Morning Quitters !!
Good morning! did me some calculating this morning. I started chewing when I was 18 and am now near 52 so that makes it close to 34 years or better yet, I was hooked to the nic bitch for 12, 376 days! 'bang head'

I got me to thinking -- would I live long enough to go that long without .. that would have to make me about 104 when I go to the great beyond.

Then it dawned on me - hey i spent the first 18 years of my life NOT chewing :P so that gives me a start of 6,552 against that 12, 376 days which now leaves me only 5,824 days (or 16 years) to remain free of that bitch to equal my days clean vs my days hooked. :wacko: Hell I'll only be 68 at that time and hopefully will be leading my grandkids on some wild adventures 'Remshot' (if my kids ever get busy!)

So now 5,824 minus the 9 days I have been clean leaves me only 5815 to go! Whoo-hoo!

I know this is somewhat fuzzy math and it is looking at the big picture rather than 1 day at a time....but it is a long range goal for me! I am just getting there one day at a time! Hope you all have a great day!

why chewie loves dip rage

dip rage is a very real part of quitting dipping...  and quite frankly i love it... here's why

sure it's a little humerous to the vets to look at some of the ramblings but that's CERTAINLY not the reason i like it...

i like it because it REMINDS me what i've gone through to get to this point in my quit... i've beaten it and i'm NEVER going back to those days again... you guys that are dealing with it now will feel the same way... i promise.

i like it because it's conclusive proof that you guys are HEALING... you may not recognize it yet, but it's one of many physical signs that your body is getting rid if the nic and quite frankly... it's pissed.  it's pissed at you for starting in the first place, but now it's pissed at you for taking it away... look at this as a good thing!  your quit is WORKING!!!

i'm not here to tell you that once you get past a certain day you'll feel "all better" (this additiction isn't a "boo-boo" that we're putting a band aid on... but i can tell you this... once you've walked through the hell that is quitting, you'll have a resolve that is greater than ever... you'll look back on those first couple of weeks and REMEMBER the pure hell that you're going through.

i've said it many times and i'll repeat it now...

you'll NEVER have to go through days 1-3 again... as long as you don't cave.

do you understand how powerful that is???  you'll NEVER have to feel like this again... as long as you stick to the gameplan.

this will not be easy...
you will have bad days...
you will get pissed...
you will feel like shit...

but you WILL QUIT~

two guarantees...

1. chewie's here for you...
2. you will NEVER wake up after a dip free day and say "damn... wish i caved yesterday.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF ONE DAY OFF DIP

day 2 is just as important as day 102 or 202... it's a day off dip that you're no longer killing yourself.

let's stay strong this weekend brothers... you need a number, you pm me and you'll have chewie's digits... i don't know ya but i love ya and i'm proud of ya.

part of what you're dealing with is a memory... you're memory of a life with dip.

a quote from my hof speech (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=39) says it all...

"A man is defined by his actions, not his memories."

your job is simple... get quit and stay quit... call for help... post up and take it seriously... you're in for the fight of your life... and FOR YOUR LIFE...

we're here for ya....

I don't believe any other group is better than another. I just try to focus on today and help those during that process no matter what group they may be in.

in general terms "yes" april groups are typically larger than others based on the fact that there are quite a few resolutionst quitters.

as far as i know the largest quit group is april 2006... not sure exactly how many were in there but i'm sure an acordian will come along shortly to fill us in....

put it this way.... i was in october 2006, we had 50 some and i don't think we were close to april 06

You rang?????????????


I think Chewie is correct. To my knowledge, we still hold the title for largest group, and for highest number to make HOF.

I have one sheet that shows 93 members, but I think the final number was up over 100, and we had 65+ make the HOF.

Even better, on any given day, you can still find 10 or more still hanging out around here paying it forward, even though they are all either just past 3 years quit or soon to be.

I gotta question and it is probably real dumb..but are there any quitters out here that are still smoking? Is that against the rules? ain't the nic bitch the same either way?

No I don't smoke -- hardly never have - maybe 4 or 5 cigs in my life time including my experimental years (mid 60's!), maybe a dozen cigars (babies ya know) and a pipe for about a half year.

The reason for asking is I have a buddy I would like to turn him onto this site but he is a smoker and a chewer and has failed miserably at quitten both on his own.. He seems to knock one down but increases the other and finally gives up..he is 62 and been doing both most all his life. Still healthy so far (well as best as can be expected due to the abuses he put on himself - he is a friend of Bill W's also for the past 18 or so years). I sure would like to see him stay around for awhile .. I know the choice is ultimately his.

anyway, if any of you in the support can give me some direction to my questions, I sure would appreciate it.

if there are people posting roll here, then they SHOULD be nic free... that includes dip, chew, snuff, cigs, cigars, etc. you're right... nic is nic.

while the site is killtheCAN there are some people here that have never dipped... they were smokers only. while some of what we say wouldn't be relevant to them, we've seen over the years that the concepts that work for dippers will also work for smokers.

that said we'd love to have him! we'll hold him to the same standards that we hold all roll callers to -- no nic today!

Morning Quitters !!

Morning Brothers and sisters of the quit! I kicked the bitches ass yesterday even though she nagged me from the time I got up till the time I went to bed (6.am till 12:30 a.m.) and toay I am day 14 of the quit!. it was f*cking great - I can say that now today!! Without this board and support, to help hold me accountable.. i don't know if I could have done that.

Last night I called my daughter (who lives way over on the left coast now) and told her about my quit. You shoulda heard the excitement in her voice! Damn near brought tears to my eyes.. I think that was the first time I had ever heard her say --and repeat -- Dad , I am so proud of you! She has never known me without a fattie. with her being in the medical field in the Air force Nat'l guard - she said she was going to check this site out and maybe be able to help turn other soldiers and airment to it if the time comes. one just never knows how this site is going to reach folks!

Called my folks yesterday afternoon and asked them if they read my card about my quit (at the time I was day 8.) Mom said yes - and I said I was surprised that they didn't call me -- as they have ben nagging on me for 33 years to quit (literally from day 364 - I didn't sneak much except the first year!) she said - well I guess I forgot because I was telling your sister and your brother and my friends about your quit! then both Mom and Dad went on to relate triggers they had when they smoked (they both quit in the late 60s early 70s). Dad was the one who praised the most. Guess we always like praise from our folks!

so my brothers and sisters..despite yesterday being a nagging nic bitch day -- it was probably one of the best days of my life ..being able to share with my family about my quit. It makes me just that much more accountable for my future actions.

Thank you all for being here for us!

I'm with Jester - hitting the upper 40's here in Colorado today and upper 50's by the weekend.  May have to break out the dirt bike or the golf clubs....

40's! 50's! I am jealous! this morning we woke up to actual -29 below with a feel like wind chill of -50 below...it was suppose to get up to -9 below for a high but didn't make it...now it is -24 below with a feel like wind chill of -43 below. good news is by the time I hit in the road in the morning we are supposed to be at -14 or so...another heat wave!

I'd last 5 minutes up there. Here comes the next ice age.

Maybe we'll get some pheasant down here because of it.

Howdy ya'll. I'm new here.

I hope it is OK for me to post in the Cafe. My planned quit day is tomorrow. I've been planning it for about three weeks now. Today is my last day chewing. I'm very nervous as I've tried so many times. This time it's a bit different. I actually set a date, talked to a counselor about my plans and why I want to quit, and even started a 'quit chew' blog (http://chewquit.blogspot.com/ (http://chewquit.blogspot.com/)) to motivate me. Then I found this site. It looks great!

I'm reading through the sucess stories and it is very inspiring.

I'm sick of having a disgusting mouth, wasting money, and lying to people. I'll post tomorrow evening to let you know how I did. I'm stocked up on nicotine gum.

This is exactly where you are supposed to post if you haven't yet taken the plunge and dumped your tin. We appreciate your respect of not yet posting in the quit groups.

Of course I would be remiss if I didn't suggest you dump that thing right now and post roll in The April 09 quit group. (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=2015) But in the end I do understand that there is some importance in setting a date. Just be sure to stick to it. It is WAY easy to come up with a new date, then another, and another......

Spend some time in the welcome section reading about roll call, what it means, and its importance to this community. That "little bit" 'winker' of accountability has helped so many here stay free from their addiction, myself included. Bottom line on roll, it is your solemn promise to not use tobacco for this one day. That promise is made as close to first thing everyday as possible. If you're a person of your word, then join us and start your fight.

Take a look at the What to Expect page on killthecan.org. (http://www.killthecan.org/yourquit/what.asp) It is a fairly accurate road map of the journey you are about to begin, unfortunately. The good news is that the ends are well worth the means. Not worrying about the "C", bad breath, yellow chew stained teeth, etc etc are just a very few of the awesome benefits of leaving dipping behind.

So welcome, you have found some of the best support available for beating this addiction. Let us know how we can help. BTW- the underlined text above are links so give em a click.

Glad to meet you and look forward to quittin with you one day at a time.

Gotta caution on sumpin in your post.....you'll get varying opinions regarding nicotine gum....personally, i have tried it and failed in the past (never in conjunction with this site)

If you choose to use the nic gum, that is your choice....you must use a prescribed plan with it tho....it can not become a new delivery system for nicotine...you will never win that battle. What i mean is if you pop gum to stop a crave....the craves will never end.....you are still feeding your addiction...just in a new manner.

If you have a plan with the gum to take a defined amount at a given time with a defined reduction to zero schedule......then imo, it is a tool......

Personally, i think it is better to nut up, go thru 3 days of hell, get it behind you and use all the tools at your disposal on this site.......They will definitely work and are working everyday.

I will definitely be here to post roll in the morning.......and i look forward to seeing you there in April 09.

How will you remember Tuesday, January 20, 2009?

IÂ’m sure most of you started out the day like any other; rushing to get that morning ritual done before work. Knowing today was going to be different since history for the first time was in the making! Yet I was utterly clueless to what todayÂ’s history lesson for me I'd face. First let me assure you that it had absolutely nothing to do with or about our 44th President, Barack Obama being sworn in as our Commander and Chief.

It was actually going to come down to little ‘ole history lesson and me. It seems I only have horrific news to share with you which leads me to not share it at all. I mean blah, blah, blah what’s the sense of hearing someone’s woes? All negative without a grain of something positive makes for a huge case of DRAMA. And who wants to read such chaos of life; especially when it has to deal with someone else. Everyone endures such times. Don’t get me wrong I am grateful for everything I have but it would seem nice not have such constant misfortunes, you know? Think positive, Nickie! Positive!

Anyways, I was in the hospital for a week with pneumonia and my hematologist caught a blood clot within my leg while I was there – low potassium and magnesium. Umm, ever have needles around your belly button? Let’s say it’s a not a walk in the park. It’s shots of heparin to thin my blood in order to dissolve the clot. Then the antibiotics that I was receiving I had an allergic reaction to. (nice rash) It took two attempts but finally there was one that I could use without having to play connect the dots. (small joke – I’ll letcha laugh!) I went in on Monday, Jan 12th and was released Friday the 16th.

The school never sent flowers so I felt that was somewhat strange. However, Friday late afternoon I did received flowers at the hospital after I was discharged. The florist arranged to deliver them to my house. Hmm, 3 carnations – card read: Everglades Elementary. Very impersonal I thought but hell, I was happy to receive something. Better than nothing, right? ”Get well soon“, to me, seemed logical since I was in the hospital, oh well! I’ll hush. Flowers are flowers. Monday, school was out! And I had kept in touch either by Paul or myself calling so they knew I would be returning Tuesday the 20th.

Now back to the historic event, mine before President ObamaÂ’s.
As soon as I walked into my clinic my desk had been rearranged to fit whoever had felt the need to rearrange it. My children as normal came into the clinic before the bell rings. No sooner had I placed my purse and laptop down I was asked to see the Principal in her office. I assumed the same formality of Dr. Note to return back to work and the usual how are you feeling? I stepped into her office as she closed the door. Ok, this isn’t good. A piece of paper was placed in front of me to read with an, “I’m sorry.”
Just for humor this is the letter I was greeted to after having a clot which might not have been dissolved either entering a lung or my brain. (which school was aware of my condition)

January 20, 2009

Dear Nicole Lynch,
In order to better meet the needs of (School Name) and the students that we serve, I have recommended that your employment be terminated effective today, January 20, 2009. I anticipate that this will be formally approved by the school board at the February Meeting.
I wish you the best in all of your future endeavors.

Sincerely,
My Principal Signature
Her Title
cc: Superintendent of Schools
cc: Personnel File of Nicole Lynch

She said sorry about 3 more times and then I had to go into my office during school hours and remove my personal belongings. I used a lot of my own money to purchase Dental and Hygiene Awareness displays. I asked if I could come back because neither staff nor students knew of my termination and at first she stated it was ok but within a few minutes she felt it was better for me to go ahead and get my belongings while I was there. It took me and the principal close to 2 hours to pack everything into my van. I even took my bookcase that was about to fall apart but I took it. I brought it into that facility and I was taking it back.
I felt betrayed. I wasnÂ’t given an explanation as to why. An explanation wasnÂ’t needed since in within their policy the school board has an allotted window and it happens that itÂ’s a 3 year time slot. So for 3 years anyone working for them can be let go without warning and/or without a reason for their termination. I felt humiliated. I take my job very seriously. Last year human resources found out that I was seen at a psychiatric hospital for my bipolar disorder and they have been giving me an extremely harsh time about it. (My husband told them the 3 days I was there; not thinking.) I was a voluntary checked in for mostly talk therapy since there isnÂ’t any available near me. Huge mistake, I now know, since government facilities basically take mental patients off the streets and provide them only their prescription medications. If only I had known. I never would have admitted myself. I had the meds just not the treatment. What a waste of time and now a waste of a job. The union I am with can do very little since the 3 year time slot. But they are still working on it. I know it has to do with my bipolar. I had no problems up until then. Teachers take just as many days if not more for medical or personal. Is it my fault my position requires someone with training (CPR/First Aid) requiring higher pay to sub for me than a normal teaching sub? I never complained even when I didnÂ’t receive my lunch or 15 minute breaks. I did my job.

I feel like such a failure. Can I not do anything right? What the hell is wrong with me? I wanted a dip today. Yes, I wanted one. Just to say FUCK YOU world. I called ODT. I told him what does it matter if I just say to hell with it? What does it really matter?

I see absolutely no strength within me. I see weakness. I see someone who all her life has been put down. How can I look my children in the face and let them know that it’ll be alright when I am uncertain of the future. I feel so very low. I feel like I do more harm than good. Just once I wish something good could evolve from something bad. And I wish dip wouldn’t be such a factor when I’m down. I live and breathe and I know its better without Copenhagen. I want others to look up to me and say “Hey, look she’s doing it so can I.”

But what happens when you are at your lowest ebb?
The more you struggle, ..... the quicker that tide pulls you out ...... the less you see your tranquility within that white sandy beach.

Then what? Why make a little bit of history of your own? ...................... Stay quit!

IÂ’m looking forward to the warmth of the beach between my toes and a cool margarita! Copenhagen for now will just have to wait! Maybe, just maybe I have a little bit of fight left in me. A little bit of strength to keep moving! A little bit of history left in the making .......................

looks like we've got a new company to take down!
Quote
Altria Group Inc. said Tuesday it closed its acquisition of UST Inc., the biggest player in the U.S. smokeless tobacco market.

The buyout was valued at $10.4 billion, plus the assumption of $1.3 billion in debt. The deal gives UST (nyse: UST - news - people ) shareholders $69.50 per share. Stamford, Conn.-based UST will become a subsidiary of Altria (nyse: MO - news - people ).

Richmond-based Altria owns the No. 1 U.S. cigarette maker Philip Morris USA, which sells the Marlboro brand in the U.S. Altria also owns cigar maker John Middleton Co., Ste. Michelle Wine Estates Ltd. and a 29 percent stake in brewer SABMiller PLC.

Altria's purchase of UST, maker of the Copenhagen and Skoal smokeless tobacco brands, gives it a leading position in the expanding market for smokeless tobacco. Tobacco companies are pursuing smokeless sales aggressively as sales of cigarettes decline by roughly 3 percent to 4 percent a year.

Altria Group Chief Executive Michael Szymanczyk has said the integration of UST would position the company well as domestic cigarette demand falls.

Altria brings its marketing muscle to a market already occupied by its smaller rival, Reynolds American (nyse: RAI - news - people ) Inc. Reynolds owns Conwood Co., which sells the Grizzly and Kodiak smokeless tobacco brands.

Altria announced in September that it would buy UST after getting mixed results from its market tests of its own Marlboro brand smokeless products in the Atlanta, Indianapolis and Dallas-Fort Worth areas.

looks like we've got a new company to take down!
Quote
Altria Group Inc. said Tuesday it closed its acquisition of UST Inc., the biggest player in the U.S. smokeless tobacco market.

The buyout was valued at $10.4 billion, plus the assumption of $1.3 billion in debt. The deal gives UST (nyse: UST - news - people ) shareholders $69.50 per share. Stamford, Conn.-based UST will become a subsidiary of Altria (nyse: MO - news - people ).

Richmond-based Altria owns the No. 1 U.S. cigarette maker Philip Morris USA, which sells the Marlboro brand in the U.S. Altria also owns cigar maker John Middleton Co., Ste. Michelle Wine Estates Ltd. and a 29 percent stake in brewer SABMiller PLC.

Altria's purchase of UST, maker of the Copenhagen and Skoal smokeless tobacco brands, gives it a leading position in the expanding market for smokeless tobacco. Tobacco companies are pursuing smokeless sales aggressively as sales of cigarettes decline by roughly 3 percent to 4 percent a year.

Altria Group Chief Executive Michael Szymanczyk has said the integration of UST would position the company well as domestic cigarette demand falls.

Altria brings its marketing muscle to a market already occupied by its smaller rival, Reynolds American (nyse: RAI - news - people ) Inc. Reynolds owns Conwood Co., which sells the Grizzly and Kodiak smokeless tobacco brands.

Altria announced in September that it would buy UST after getting mixed results from its market tests of its own Marlboro brand smokeless products in the Atlanta, Indianapolis and Dallas-Fort Worth areas.
back when altria used to own kraft and some other stuff it was a pretty good stock to have. now its all tobacco agin like afore it changed its name from philip morris and aint no way i'd wanna own it.

The Best Side of All

Every coin has two sides.
Every action causes a reaction.
And like every positive there comes a negative.
We wouldnÂ’t be human if we didnÂ’t have one without the other.

If we were to never endured pain then weÂ’d never experience the meaning of sweet pleasure. To never falter at weakness; weÂ’d never see how strong our strength would be to rise above an obstacle. To never again feel hurtfulness; weÂ’d never be able to show the desire to care. And the ultimate ... without heartache; weÂ’d have the absence of the greatest gift Â…Â… love.

Every one of our moments would be taken for granted.

Imagine inhaling to whisper, “I love you” softly to someone you adore yet only for them to never understand how deep and heartfelt it truly was meant. Or the very simplicity of touching your child’s hand absolutely would have no value or merit.

Who would want to live in such a world?
We all must tolerate the negative in order to be blessed with some positive.

This leads me back to the coin, Â…Â…Â…Â…Â…Â…Â… the HOF coin, that is.

At 100 days I really didnÂ’t see why I would need a coin to show those 100 days of my quit. I mean I had been through hell both physically and mentally and buying a coin really didnÂ’t seem to have any significance. But around 600 days, I was looking at it on the site and honestly IÂ’m clueless as to why but I wanted to have it as a symbol, as a reminder I had succeeded in what I and those around me never thought IÂ’d be able to accomplish.

I understand now the meaning of the HOF coin. I suppose it didn‘t matter I had waited another 500 days before getting it because I wouldn’t have known the true value of it. I’ve never been so proud until I ran my fingertips over that precious metal. After enduring 22 years of imprisonment to tobacco and 600 some days of being quit I had this tremendous invigorating feeling of triumph and freedom.

ItÂ’s true every coin has two sides but you see my coin doesnÂ’t.

It only has one side Â… the best side of all .. that IÂ’m quit.

When I was first surfing this site and trying to get registered I ran across a page that on the bottom had a spot to record quit date, money saved etc.  Well I have been all over the boards trying to find it again so I can record there but I ain't guessing the right  page!  Can anyone direct me to which page that was?  Thanks.
it's on the homepage of killthecan.org

scroll down the bottom and you're good to go!

The most important part of being quit and staying quit... is not accountability or willpower. It is not looking at cancer pics or anything but STAYING BUSY!!!! Idle hands are the devil's tool. If you find yourself doing nothing, you are just bending over ready to take it without any lubrication. Remember that. You might as well just invite trouble into your life. That's my lesson for the day. Carry on.

Anyone taking advice from this cockbag would be better off getting a job at the Skoal factory. If "idle hands" lead to caving, than this douche is missing both arms.

Radoo,
You are in no position to give anyone a lesson for the day. Get your own shit together before you start acting like the wise old sage to potential quitters who may not know better.

Marines invent energy-boosting smokeless tobacco

By Ian B. Murphy - GateHouse News Service

Lexington, Mass. —

A Lexington marine who joined the corps at 30 has created a new tobacco product to keep on-duty soldiers alert.

Cpl. Matthew Doran, 34, along with his friend Cpl. Steven Rundel, 26, created Revved Up, a new smokeless tobacco infused with energy elements, similar to Red Bull.

Doran said the inspiration for Revved Up came to them while waiting in line at a base convenience store where they are stationed in Beaufort, S.C. While in line, Doran commented on a smokeless tobacco contained that labeled itself as waterproof, and featured a woman in a bathing suit on the cover.

Doran turned to Rundel and said, “What’s next, energy dip?”

He said as soon as it came out of his mouth, they knew it was a Eureka moment.

“There were two marines in line [in front of us] with energy drinks and smokeless tobacco, and we said, ‘this all makes too much sense,’” Doran said.

The two marines went back to their bunks and called a patent attorney. One hour and $75 dollars later, they had a provisional patent.

After unsuccessfully pitching the idea to the CEO of U.S. Tobacco, Doran and Rundel posted the idea to an Internet forum for smokeless tobacco users.

“Within four hours of the post we were contacted by someone from the tobacco industry, and we knew we had something,” Doran said.

Doran liquidated his cleaning business and financed a trip to a tobacco trade show in Las Vegas, where he met a tobacco businessman, Soo Baek. Baek connected the marines with Southern Smokeless Tobacco Company, out of Statesboro, Ga., and Doran said they hope to unveil the product next month.

He said Revved Up has been well received by the smokeless tobacco users at his base. He recognizes the health risks in using smokeless tobacco, and said his product is not to get people to start using.

“We do not look at it as trying to convert people to chew tobacco,” Doran said. “What we’re doing is giving our fellow troops … when they’re in combat, they’re doing it anyways because they’re not smoking as much. We’re giving them a better product that will keep them more alert, and may ultimately save their lives. They need this, and they want this.”

Doran said his product has 65 percent less carcinogens when compared to other smokeless tobacco, something he considers one of Revved UpÂ’s biggest selling points.

Revved Up and Doran made the front page of the Sept. 15 edition of the Marine Corps Times. The article graces the same page as stories about tattoos, rocket launchers, and the CorpsÂ’ plans for a new squad automatic weapon.

Doran joined the Marines at 30 years old; he had to get a major to sign off on his recruitment because of his age. Doran, a Lexington High School graduate, said he was searching for something in his life, and found it in the Marine Corps.

“It’s the best thing I’ve ever done in my entire life,” Doran said. “The marine corps is the best organization; they have the best fundamentals, leadership qualities, and discipline they could instill on everybody. I know it’s a tough organization, but you can’t learn this stuff anywhere but the Marine Corps. I’d recommend it to anybody.”

DoranÂ’s brother, Mike, said he was apprehensive at first about his brother joining the Marine Corps, but now that heÂ’s seen the results, he couldnÂ’t be happier.

“When he first said he was going to do it, I was shocked,” Mike Doran said. “Since he’s done it, I think it’s been the best thing in the world for him. He wanted to start a new career for himself, and the marines offered him that training.”

Doran is stationed on an air base; he works on the forward-looking infrared, or FLIR, laser systems on F-18 jets that help in targeting and radar.

“I think it’s the coolest job ever,” Doran said.

RITUALS - So I know I have been MIA but I am still NIC free and pluggin along. I think for a bit coming in each day was having me focus to much on DIP or the fact I don't have any. Lately I feel like I am missing the Rituals associated with the habit and need suggestions, advice etc.... on how to fill the void.

well... if you're missing the ritual and you don't think it will send you back to the can, by all means get some herbal chew to tide you over. some may frown on this approach but i've always said i'd rather chew a can/day of herbal for the rest of my days than ever have another dip of kodiak.

as for rituals... make posting HERE one of your rituals.

i've heard it said many times, "the only time i think about dip is when i'm at that site... i guess i'll step away from the site so i don't think about dip."

that my friend is a mistake. invariably those people come back with a "i thought i could have just one" story and post a day 1. here's the unfortunate reality of the situation... you're an addict. sorry to break it to you but it's the truth. you'll always be an addict. the sooner you realize that the better.

ok, now that that's behind us let's deal with the "thinking about dip" piece of the equation. i post roll every day cause i WANT to remember my life as a dipper. i WANT to remember how damn difficult it was to quit. i WANT to keep picking at that scab. maybe it seems a little masochistic but the bottom line is this... if i don't forget, then i'm NEVER going to go back to the can. it's too tough. i did it once and i'm not going to put myself in that position again... ever.

hang in there my man... you did the right thing. you reached out.

props to you!

Cigarette giant rolls out new tobacco products
By RICHARD CRAVER

Associated Press


October 12, 2008 04:11 pm

— Cigarette giant R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. is introducing three dissolvable smokeless products in its latest bid to make tobacco more accessible in a society that’s clamping down on smoking.
The dissolvable products -- a pellet (Camel Orbs), a twisted stick the size of a toothpick (Camel Sticks) and a film strip for the tongue (Camel Strips) -- had their debut at last weekÂ’s National Association of Convenience Stores convention.
The products drew criticism from the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, which has protested most Reynolds tobacco innovations in recent years.
“These products are flavored and packaged like candy, and very likely will appeal to children,” said Matthew Myers, president of the advocacy group.
Company spokeswoman Maura Payne said that the products are sold in child-resistant packaging. Only adult consumers will be able to buy the products, and they will carry the same health warnings as other oral smokeless products.
“These products appear to be part of a continuing effort by RJR and other tobacco companies to get around the growing number of smoke-free laws and give smokers new ways to sustain their addiction in places they cannot smoke,” Myers said.
The products are made of finely milled tobacco and come in the flavor styles of fresh and mellow, Payne said. The products last from two to three minutes for the strips, 10 to 15 minutes for the orbs and 20 to 30 minutes for the sticks.
“We’re meeting the adult tobacco consumer where they are in society today,” Payne said. “Consumer research has found that adult tobacco consumers have wanted another option for using tobacco where it wasn’t comfortable or they weren’t permitted to smoke.”
Reynolds said it is the first major U.S. tobacco manufacturer to offer the products. Star Scientific Inc., a smaller manufacturer in Petersburg, Va., has been selling its dissolvable tobacco products -- Ariva and Stonewall -- in select regional and national chains such as Food Lion and 7-Eleven.
Reynolds plans to test the new products in Indianapolis; Columbus, Ohio; and Portland, Ore. The orbs and sticks products will have their debut in January and the strips in the second quarter.
Although Reynolds does not dictate retail prices, the company said that the dissolvable products should sell at a comparable price to a tin of Camel Snus, which is between $4 and $4.50.
Bill Godshall, executive director of SmokeFree Pennsylvania, said that Reynolds is probably trying to introduce its new smokeless products before potential Food and Drug Administration regulation stamps out most innovation.“I’m pleased that Reynolds is being aggressive in accelerating the switch to smokeless tobacco and getting more products that are likely to appeal to tobacco users,” Godshall said.
In the past nine years, Reynolds has expanded its flagship brand Camel through such introductions as Camel Exotic Blends, Camel No. 9 and Camel Signature. It has branched out with Camel Snus, a smokeless product that is being promoted as the industryÂ’s best bet in a post-smoking environment.

New nicotine delivery system (http://www.cnet.com/8301-17914_1-10163376-89.html) disguised as a quit tool. I love it when the coyote wears the sheep costume. My apologies if this has already been outed.

Allegedly, its product looks like a cigarette, tastes like a cigarette, feels like a cigarette, but it isn't a cigarette. It contains no tobacco, and the "smoke" is vapor. For this reason, it can be used indoor at public places where regular smoking is banned.

The E-Cigarette does contain, however, the substance that makes you addicted and therefore the main reason why you keep smoking: Nicotine. Basically, the E-Cigarette offers a real smoking experience without any of the unpleasant side-effects of traditional tobacco smoking.

According to Smoking Everywhere, as you inhale the E-Cigarette, a tiny battery vaporizes liquid inside the cigarette to produce the smoke-like vapor. At the same time, the Nicotine cartridge will release nicotine to satisfy the withdrawal.


P.S. Does anyone else think that the product symbol looks, uh, smokey?

On Sunday February 22, the Amigos (July 2007 HOF class) (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=255) will be celebrating Copehater's induction to the 7th floor with a final roll call. At some point on Monday, the thread will be locked to a read only status. If you can get to a computer on Sunday, Copehater, Turbo, and myself would like to invite you to post up with us.

The 3 of us have decided that our struggles are the same as the other members of the 2007 HOF class so we will be posting our roll and primarily seeking our support from there. I hope to see your roll call posted there on Sunday as well!

I haven't posted on the roll call in quite some time. I guess I should start again, but felt the need to post here just to let people know how fucked up nicotine is, just how hard it is to stay quit. It takes a strong will. It takes GUTS, BALLS, or whatever other phrase you wanna throw out there, to stay quit.

I haven't dipped in 774 days. Today, I walked into a liquor store and saw the display as soon as I walked in.  Man in front of me asked for a can of Cope. For that second, I wanted it. I wanted to dip. I miss it. STILL. I miss the comforting feeling I got from it. Crutch? Sure. Bad for me? Absolutely. Doesn't matter, I wanted it. It's easier to say no now more than it ever was, but that damn nic bitch is still deep inside me, still to this day. I'll smoke a cigar this weekend, I'll do that on occasion, maybe fill that need just a little bit, but it's not the same as when I was dipping.

Not sure why I'm posting, maybe just it's just theraputic for me. It's a difficult task to stay quit, but it can be done! Nicotine is so addicting, so controlling. I think that's what keeps me quit. I have to remind myself that I can't become of slave to that garbage ever again. I can't beat me, it won't beat me. I WILL NOT ALLOW IT TO BEAT ME EVER AGAIN.

i hate to say it scott, but i agree with remmy here... this is a cave. you're still dip free but you went back to the nic bitch... perhaps if you hadn't had a cigar "now and then" the nic bitch wouldn't be whispering so lound in your ear when you walk into the c-store.

we're addicts... not recovering addicts but ACTIVE addicts. always will be.

someone much smarter than i made this analogy long ago... an alcoholic doesn't quit drinking beer by switching to jack and coke... in the same vein we can't quit dip by switching to cigs, cigars, snuff, chew or the patch... same drug, different delivery.

i hope to see you real soon... good to have you back... bad to see the circumstances.

I haven't posted on the roll call in quite some time.  I guess I should start again, but felt the need to post here just to let people know how fucked up nicotine is, just how hard it is to stay quit.   It takes a strong will.  It takes GUTS, BALLS, or whatever other phrase you wanna throw out there, to stay quit.

I haven't dipped in 774 days.   Today, I walked into a liquor store and saw the display as soon as I walked in.   Man in front of me asked for a can of Cope.  For that second, I wanted it.  I wanted to dip.   I miss it.  STILL.  I miss the comforting feeling I got from it.  Crutch?  Sure.  Bad for me?  Absolutely.  Doesn't matter, I wanted it.   It's easier to say no now more than it ever was, but that damn nic bitch is still deep inside me, still to this day.   I'll smoke a cigar this weekend, I'll do that on occasion, maybe fill that need just a little bit, but it's not the same as when I was dipping. 

Not sure why I'm posting, maybe just it's just theraputic for me.  It's a difficult task to stay quit, but it can be done!   Nicotine is so addicting, so controlling.  I think that's what keeps me quit.  I have to remind myself that I can't become of slave to that garbage ever again.  I can't beat me, it won't beat me.  I WILL NOT ALLOW IT TO BEAT ME EVER AGAIN.
No, you haven't dipped in 774 days. You've just substituted another form of tobacco for the dip. Brilliant. :rolleyes:

I'm going to reiterate something that I've said over and over again here. If you have had even a flake of dip touch your lip, so much as a single "drag" off of a cigarette or cigar, spent time in the smoke shack to get some second hand smoke, or used NRT outside of the EXACT prescribed dosage, you are to post day 1. We don't have alot of rules, but we do have standards.

Thanks for the support!

Look, I smoked a cigar now and then before I dipped. It's not a replacement. I enjoy a good cigar maybe once a month, IF that. I'm a nicotine addict, I know this, always will be. But if I can stay off dip, and have a cigar every now and then, I'm not going to worry about my health and quality of life.

I like this place, and it was helpful with my quit. In fact, I'm not sure I could have done it without it. However, I think to say I need to post day 1 or something of that sort is a bit much. Thanks for helping me quit dipping.

Thanks for the article Stratos. A good read (even if that damn baseball wallpaper made me nuts). "Smokeless tobacco also is banned by the NCAA. But some college players and coaches dip anyway." It used to be readily available for free (free seeds from those manufacturers, too - wohoooo!), so just taking a position is a big step in the right direction, if true.

The family just reinforced what I'm trying to do.

Spontaneously (yeah right, I know it was my wifes' doin', but God Bless Her) my 6yr old just came in and said "daddy, I'm so proud of you for quittin' chewin'". Then my 11yr old came in and said the same. Funny thing is..........I could tell it wasn't B.S. They really are happy I'm quittin'. Particularly my 11yr old. She has been after me about it for quite some time. They know what can happen.

The family just reinforced what I'm trying to do.

Spontaneously (yeah right, I know it was my wifes' doin', but God Bless Her) my 6yr old just came in and said "daddy, I'm so proud of you for quittin' chewin'". Then my 11yr old came in and said the same. Funny thing is..........I could tell it wasn't B.S. They really are happy I'm quittin'. Particularly my 11yr old. She has been after me about it for quite some time. They know what can happen.

That's an incredible thing that's happened today. You stay quit for you. But if you need any extra reinforcement for your quit, you think about how you are going to explain to that 11 year old that you weren't strong enough to stay quit.

If you can do that and put death in your face, you're a stronger person than I.

There have been a lot of folks that have successfully stomped out their smoking habit by posting roll call with us. I realize that the delivery method is different, but our addiction is to nicotine. And the one day at a time philosophy works well no matter how you took your poison.

I've looked around the web for a solid "QSXlike" group but have yet to find one. I have set up an account at quitnet.com and they seem to have a decent site. There is a lot of information, some great encouragement for success, and a lot of similar tools such as chat and a forum. However, in my very humble opinion the folks that I have met are FAR too accepting of failure. The old college try is okay. I am very much a "do or do not" type of person, and for that reason I have a hard time giving it my endorsement.

Success requires that you go the distance. Results depend not only on what you start to do, but on what you complete. Accomplishment depends not on what you intend to do, but on what you actually get done.

Wishing, hoping, planning, and trying will not by themselves get you there. Your persistence, your commitment, your actions are what will bring the success you seek.

The world is full of those with great ideas and big plans. Unfortunately, too many of those ideas are never fully explored. Too many of those plans are never completely implemented.

Dream big dreams. Make big plans. And then take the actions which will make those dreams a reality. Give real time and effort to your best intentions and you'll transform them into accomplishment.

Post by: mylilsecret on March 11, 2009, 09:45:00 AM
I often ask myself and my husband how much can one take until they honestly get to their breaking point?

As most know I lost my job the end of January. I applied for everything and anything I could to help with the lost of income, no medical insurance and resources into finding another job. I've so far failed at all three. After waiting this long to hear if I qualified for benefits, (yes, I have to "qualify" for benefits. Umm, I just lost my entire monthly income - how more qualified can I get?) anyways after waiting this long I was denied Medicaid, food stamps and temporary cash. Why? To simply put it, we have too much in asset, as in our house and truck. Hmm, last time I checked you need something to live in and a way to get to work so how really does that count against me? In this time of recession, I consider those assets a complete burden. The mortgage and truck payment are taking away from my medical expenses. And that's a whole other story. Our medication monthly for Matthew and me out of pocket is $2,018. Monthly! And we're not talking about Dr. visits or therapy sessions.

One positive note, my unemployment finally started two weeks ago. It would have started much sooner had the School Board filed their paperwork in a timely manner. It's not much but it's something. Our meds are running low and if need be I'll go without mine so Matthew can have his. It's not fair to him. Something from Healthy Kids came in the mail this week so maybe I'll qualify for medical insurance for the boys. I feel so discouraged at times. So helpless. My chest is heavy when I try to breathe.

This has put my marriage to the test once more. How can one live with such a failure? I honestly don't know how he does it. I don't know how I do it and without us both killing one another with the conflicts. How do I look into the eyes of our children to help them understand I'll be ok when I don't know myself? It's frustrating and it eats away at you bit by bit. How do others cope to overcome such obstacles?

A couple weeks ago my fifteen year old came to me and told me what we all dread the most when raising a child. He had tried marijuana. He was curious. I asked more questions and he was honest in saying he also tried cigarettes and yes smokeless tobacco. When I had quit he profoundly stated, "Mom, I'll never do that!" But he actually has. And not just once but a few times because others were doing it. How do I get through this and guide him to make the right choices? Quite frankly, I'm tired. And then my mind begins to work against me. That other side, the one I thought was hidden. Well, it's reminded me it still lingers just waiting to catch me off guard. I remember, oh so well, at one time in order for me to cope I would use my drug, Copenhagen. That addict part taunts me relentlessly at times. But I always revert back to taking it moment by moment, like in the beginning of my quit, until it passes.

I do apologize for not being here possibly when others might have needed me. I just hope they understand and know how much I need them for encouragement, strength and hope.

I've sent something out in hopes it'll be published in a magazine. We'll see how that goes. Maybe someone will see the passion I have to pursue this dream of mine. In writing, I may not be talented like most but I believe in reaching out to grasp a hold of something I've wanted for oh so long. I also would love to be an inspirational speaker for those who use smokeless tobacco and the wonderful advantages of quitting specially as a female quitter. I don't know how or if I could do that. I might have to talk with ODT and see if that's possible.

I guess I'll scoot for now. For those that have my cell number it's acting up again and I'm not able to get another Nextel until the beginning of next month. For now, I'll rely on pms and emails. Or you can call me later in the day at home. I know I've been stubborn and distanced myself somewhat from my quit brothers and sisters but you're the only ones that truly understand my addiction and listen to me when I need to ramble, like now. I hope this post finds you well and that you too are staying quit.

Welcome epd ! Can't promise a slap at the end of any day but can promise some support in this journey. Luck isn't a factor in a quit but determination is. YOU have to determine you are no longer going to be controled.

Hey guys..... I am in the March group. I have missed roll call since January of 2009. I have reached day 108 today. I promoted at work and changed watches..... I know, bull shit excuse for missing roll call, but I have made it 108 days so far and it all started thanks to you. If I would have had to do this alone I don't think I could have made it. Thank you to everyone that gave me support and I will try to be more active in the future.

It's all gonna be "weird" for a while.

Your systems haven't been "normal" since you took that 1st dip so long ago.

Takes time to find the "new normal".

Day three at 10 am this morning.. I have had some craves today like no other. I was doing some yard work and hit me.. I talked myself thru it. I have my son today so stress level at times is high.. SO far so good. Its about 3pm now. As long as I talk myself thru craves I will be OK. Still feeling wierd things.. Its like I can breath better... I didnt smoke.. Maybe its mental.. But my tounge and lips do feel like they are regrowing skin.. Kind of wierd feeling.

OH well. Thought I'd drop by to say hi..

Welcome back oaklely... Head over to the July 2009 group and introduce yourself! Get involved with your group. I won't tell you that it will be easy, but it's a hell of a lot better when you're going through it with people who understand what you're dealing with.

Sorry to hear about Kodiak. But if he came back, that is a good start. Unfortunately too many cavers never return.

Great job Scott good morning quitters. I posted roll this week end from home what a disaster my dial-up was so slow when everything posted I had bumped 3 guys I had to have glenn fix it for me. I think I will stay with texting on the weekends so I don't screw someone out of a post.

No Turkey this weekend better luck next year

It is absolutely amazing to me how everyone is looking for a little pill to make their New Year's resolutions easy. Over the last couple of days, I've been seeing countless commercials for all different kinds of weight loss pills, male enhancement pills, and of course NRT in all of its equally addictive forms. When I decided to quit, I don't think I was much different than the audience these commercials are targeting. I would have jumped at a miracle cure for that predicament I had gotten myself into.

Thankfully, I realized somewhere along the way that it was going to be work and sucky ass work at that. But looking back on it, it was worth it. I have beaten a very powerful addiction and made some pretty goo friends doing it.

So if you are looking to make good on a New Year's resolution to stop dipping, this community can help. If you are looking for a magical place that will turn back time and erase the {insert the amount of time you dipped here} and make you a non-dipper, this won't work. It is a difficult journey, but the many here will make it bearable. And I promise that the freedom you will gain will be well worth the trials you face getting there.There are at least 100 reasons why I will stay dip-free today. I've found it very helpful to have a notebook and write down why you will not dip today; write a different reason each new day. You will be amazed at how many reasons you can come up with as the days go by. Can't think of one good reason to have a dip. Live Long Brothers!!!

Well, the wife called me at work and through no fault of hers, I felt it was a good idea to rip her up and down. I was 5 minutes into a rant and realizied that she called me at the normal 12:45 after lunch dip time. Realizing that I was totally off on a NIC BITCH crave and the poor mental timing of her call I tried to cell her back and appoligize. She was suprisied since I NEVER call back if I hang up on someone. Being only the 3rd day, timing is everyting and her call was right in the middle of a real hard one. I even tried to get into Chat with someone, but nobody was there at that time.
I have prevailed and took matters into my own hands starting with calling her and ending with a walk in the plant to settle my crave.

I need (my brain says wants, but my body says NEEDS) some in a bad way, but I'm committed to sticking with the quit

I even tried to get into Chat with someone, but nobody was there at that time.
I have prevailed and took matters into my own hands starting with calling her and ending with a walk in the plant to settle my crave.

I need (my brain says wants, but my body says NEEDS) some in a bad way, but I'm committed to sticking with the quit
Hang in there dude... you're right on track! Day 3 sucks balls but I promise it gets better.

If she hasn't seen it yet it might be worth your time to share these with your wife: http://www.killthecan.org/community/spouse.asp (http://www.killthecan.org/community/spouse.asp)
http://www.killthecan.org/yourquit/what.asp (http://www.killthecan.org/yourquit/what.asp)

They'll hopefully explain to her how to help and what you're going through.

Thanks Chewie. I know she's in it with me, but some suplimental reading for her might be good. Might even help her get over the total ASS I was earlier today. I'm open to that since I need all the help I can get to not be an ASS.

P35 - Good Monday Quitters!

I ran a triathlon Saturday. To the naked eye, it was completely unimpressive. To me, it rocked because nobody who knows me would have thought that on June 13th I'd be 458 days removed from crapenhagen  running in a triathlon. Sweet.

Thanks KTC  the Sunshine Gang!!! Keep it up.

A literal Kill The Can Story.......

I was at a construction site where I have a crew working just before lunch. A group of electricians piled into a truck to go grab sumpin to eat and a can of cope rolled out as i was walking back to my truck.

I coulda waved them down....and given him back his can...I chose to see if he realized it had rolled out....he didn't and they roared outta the lot. I then got in my truck and proceeded to run that little pissant over. it was very satifying to feel the crunch under my tires and look in my rearview mirrow at it's mangled remains.......


I killed the can today and enjoyed seeing my addiction fade from sight in my rear view mirror.

"Under a blue sky in a pastoral Eden, roosters hitch rides on floating tractors, speakers grow out of the ground and radios fly. This is in a world where the natural laws do not obtain, where cancer and serious health problems can cease to exist.

"For a product known to cause both, such a world is a potent sales device."

The colorful ad ran in a special anniversary issue of Rolling Stone in November 2007. At the time, Camel was using the Camel Farm promotion, including an elaborate Web site, to refer to raising rock bands up from underground.

But attorneys general in several states, including Washington, promptly filed suit over the ad. They contended it violated a multibillion-dollar nationwide settlement in 1998 in which tobacco companies agreed not to use cartoon characters like Joe Camel — a lovable-looking dromedary in cool clothes.

So I am at the Friends of NRA meeting last night. I am sort of on their committee so they asked if I would spot for the auctioneer. Of course I agreed. Sitting right in front of me is a young man with a big ol fatty in his lip. When we get done and people start filing out, I stop him. Handing him my card I start my usual speech on what not only can happen but what did happen.

Within a few minutes he opens up about wanting to quit and past attempts. Before we are done he hands me his can and vows today will be day one. I gave him this website and hopefully he will come in and ask for help. He is a VERY dependant addict.

The reason I am sharing this is so all of you will know. Whether you reach them or not, you will never know unless you appraoch a user and engage them. I have been rebuffed many times. A friend of mine was at the banquet last night and he stood there with his dip while I talked to this other guy. I have been working on my friend for 3 years. Maybe someday he will see. I only hope it's not too late when he does.

Damn glad to hear it...

Haven't been playing too many cards lately (just my local monthly game).

"Real life" has been fucking hectic these last couple of months and I simply haven't had the time. Hopefully now that the summer is winding down I may have some more time.

Hey guests... if you're reading this let me tell you a little something. You've got 5 days left. 5 days till what you ask? Let me tell you.

Round these parts you're considered a Hall Of Famer once you hit 100 days dip free. That's not the end of the road, but it's a HUGE milestone that we strive for. January 1st, 2010 is 105 days from today. That means you've got 5 more days to start your quit and still be a Hall Of Famer in 2009.

What are you waiting for? You think quitting is going to be easier next year? You think it's going to suddenly become easier over the holidays? I can tell you from personal experience that it won't be.

Quit now. You'll be happy you did.

We're here when you're ready.

Helllo, I just signed up to your site. I just want to say thanks for all the articles and words of wisdom on this site provided by fellow members. Without that, I know I wouldn't come this far. I am now exactly 4 weeks into my quit. I quit on August 20th, 2009, dipping Copenhagen, a can a day for 8 years straight never quiting for longer than a month at a time. I hate chewing and everything about it. I knew I had to quit and hated being a slave to nicotine. However, at this moment I am still a complete mess, 4 weeks into the quit. I don't have the same confidence I had before I quit. I feel a social paranoia since I quit believing that the world is out to get me. I don't know if that is normal for anyone else who has quit? I moved to a new city 4 days after I quit. I still havn't found a job, even though I'm University educated and have loads of experience. I also feel like all my friends and family back home have forgotten about me. I've gained almost 15 lbs this month, constantly eating, which isn't such a bad thing for me and I'm sleeping almost 11 hours a night because I don't have a job to go right now. I hate life at the moment and I feel all alone. I just finished crying if you can believe that for a grown man in his mid twenties. I don't know what to do and I feel like turning back to the ole Copenhagen is the only way to make everything normal again. Please, can someone tell me this is just a phase in the quit and this depression like feeling will pass. I feel hopeless without the dip and hate the world. 'bang head' and I feel like there is no one I can turn to at the moment for support. Or am I just being very selfish and narcissistic and should just grow up? Please help. Any support will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Please, can someone tell me this is just a phase in the quit and this depression like feeling will pass. I feel hopeless without the dip and hate the world. 'bang head' and I feel like there is no one I can turn to at the moment for support. Or am I just being very selfish and narcissistic and should just grow up? Please help. Any support will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Help is on the way.

Stick close to the site, post your word to everyone... everyday and stand by it.

Helllo, I just signed up to your site. I just want to say thanks for all the articles and words of wisdom on this site provided by fellow members. Without that, I know I wouldn't come this far. I am now exactly 4 weeks into my quit. I quit on August 20th, 2009, dipping Copenhagen, a can a day for 8 years straight never quiting for longer than a month at a time. I hate chewing and everything about it. I knew I had to quit and hated being a slave to nicotine. However, at this moment I am still a complete mess, 4 weeks into the quit. I don't have the same confidence I had before I quit. I feel a social paranoia since I quit believing that the world is out to get me. I don't know if that is normal for anyone else who has quit? I moved to a new city 4 days after I quit. I still havn't found a job, even though I'm University educated and have loads of experience. I also feel like all my friends and family back home have forgotten about me. I've gained almost 15 lbs this month, constantly eating, which isn't such a bad thing for me and I'm sleeping almost 11 hours a night because I don't have a job to go right now.

Hi Dub19 and welcome to the site. You want to feel like you belong to something and have a purpose? You found the right place. According to your quit date, you should be in the Dec '09 quit group. Get in there and sign roll every day. Introduce yourself. Post up your pain, your victories, everything. Share with your fellow quit brothers and help them out too. Once you get the hang of that, help out people that are behind you by signing up and showing your support in their group.

Doing this will give you a purpose and solidify your quit. Trust me on this. The rewards are plenty here.

Jon, congratulations on taking control of your life. By posting this... it tells me that you were doing some internet researching on quitting.

Maybe, you're hitting some rough spots? Making yourself accountable on a daily basis seems to work very well.

9 days ago (9/25) puts you in the Jan 2010 group. What say you start making yourself accountable?

If you need any help. Just give a shout... I'll bet you 20 to 1 you get a whole lot of folks wanting to be there for you.

Welcome aboard,
CJ aka chewless jim

Hello All, I just joined the site and have just quit dipping. I just finished my last dip ten minutes ago and I am scared out of my mind. I have only been dipping for 4 years but am so hopelessly addicted i cant even stand it. I have been reading alot on this site in the last couple days and am grateful that there is a community to help me. Any wisdom that can be emparted on my will be so greatly appreciated, for all of you know what I am undertaking. Did anyone have the feeling that their cheeks were swollen and often bite them? I am very worried about this. Thanks all

First off... congrats on a great decision to quit.

Head over to January 2010 and introduce yourself - this is your quit group as these folks are in the same stage of their quit as you are.

As for swollen cheeks and bites - ABSOLUTELY NORMAL. I can't tell you how bad my mouth was AFTER I quit. This does get better.

Buckle the chinstrap and hang on for a couple of days. It's going to suck. Plain and simple. That said, before you know it things will begin to look up... promise.

Well I'm back again. Sorry to all the members I have hurt in the past. As you all know, we are addicts and part of addiction is hiding, lying, sneaking around, and doing things that hurt others and ourselves. I cannot change my past or give excusses for my cave. I can only look at today and make the decission to not use tobacco for the day. I continue to use my past as a learning experience and try to change and be a better person. I am hopeful of a better year in 2009 as 2008 had ups and lots of downs for me. I believe I am stronger and expect struggles along the way to my recovery. I hope to gain some new friends and re connect with old quitters as well. Please accept me back and hold me accountable!

You are a repeat offender in the cave department. Shit or get off the pot. You have caved more than I have had skid marks in my jockey shorts. You are a attention whore plain and simple. Prove yourself by posting everyday and making it to a year or two years quit. Then and only then would I consider taking you seriously. :angry:

Well I'm back again. Sorry to all the members I have hurt in the past. As you all know, we are addicts and part of addiction is hiding, lying, sneaking around, and doing things that hurt others and ourselves. I cannot change my past or give excusses for my cave. I can only look at today and make the decission to not use tobacco for the day. I continue to use my past as a learning experience and try to change and be a better person. I am hopeful of a better year in 2009 as 2008 had ups and lots of downs for me. I believe I am stronger and expect struggles along the way to my recovery. I hope to gain some new friends and re connect with old quitters as well. Please accept me back and hold me accountable!

2008 had alot of ups and downs and that is a good excuse to chew because?
Also 2009 is almost over...then what? Maybe you should try to hold yourself accountable before you ask someone else to do it for you

The past few weeks I've been reminiscing about alot. How quitting has change my life, how it has defined me as an individual and how it has graciously given back to me and my family. Quitting has given me my freedom. My life.

I've written to you here personally many times to vent, laugh and yes even cry. But today I asked my husband to write down his feelings about this journey and what my quit has meant to him. This is the first time he has ever expressed on paper (I'll be typing it afterwards) or to me how this has affected him. I must say this site and my fellow quitters here are my backbone but he's truly my foundation. Each of you here hold me up while he supports me so I may never have to falter.



My wife used smokeless tobacco for over 20 years and for most of those years I could not understand why someone could do something that was so detrimental to their body but was also in my mind disgusting. We fought constantly over this a-d-d-i-c-t-i-o-n.

There I said it!

It took a very long time for me to come to these terms. You see I had never been addicted to anything. I had no vices or anything I needed to have to help. This was new and I definitely didn't understand or agree with it out of ignorance I later learned. And we all know ignorance isn't the not knowing - it's the not wanting to know. I think I was in denial somehow for so long that I didn't take the time to see what was going on. I never tried to understand why this was happening. My solution was just to voice my opinion on why I didn't like it and maybe she would quit. Again I didn't KNOW.

Now fast forward this, some years and I found out I did have an addiction of my own.
My wife. You see that is one thing I couldn't go with out daily and we were going to get through this. I, however, cannot take any credit for her fighting this addiction and winning .. maybe a small part. But you see it was her own strength and determination along with the Quit sites she found and regularly attended that made the difference, It was those people fighting their own addictions that banded together to beat this monster. Their strength, their stories was that extra motivation needed to do it.

One more thing we later learned my wife was diagnosed with a mental illness called bipolar disorder which if anyone knows is a tremendous battle in itself. Now I know why it was that much more of an accomplishment to have QUIT. So now our lifes take this new road and hopefully we'll beat this monster and if it takes 20 plus years I do know this I'll still be addicted to Nicole Ann Lynch forever.

Paul




That's the first time my husband has ever spoke about my quit .. other than congratulations during my milestones. After my quit, it always seemed to me like he never wanted to talk about my dirty little secret anymore.

I'm so thankful I asked him to take a moment to express what it's like being on the other side. I'm so thankful for finding you and this site, the wonderful encouragment here and the endless inspiration you have given to me. I hope that you are able to take something away from this today and share it with another.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

First post...

I just found this site on Tuesday. It was a godsend. I quit last week, 12/9/2009 and life has been a complete hell since then.

I'm sitting here reading through your stories, and it makes me feel better that someone else knows exactly what I'm going through. My wife has no clue what it's like to be addicted to anything, and I never want my family to experience through this.

So, I'm sitting at my desk on Tuesday, thinking to myself: "I'm yelling at my wife and kids. No one wants to be around me right now. Hell, I don't want to be around anyone. I just can't take this. I'm going to go have a dip."

Somehow in the middle of all that, I came across this site. I decided to wait. I got the fake stuff, and that's helping a lot right now. Reading these forums is helping a lot right now.

I just wanted to "introduce" myself somewhat, and let all you active posters know that the time you've put in here has made a difference for me.

Just Today

Today is the first day of my quit - - - no matter if I'm posting Day 1 or Day 1001.

What do I mean by this? ...... It's simple.

In the beginning what are we thinking about the most? Probably posting the number of days we've been quit, right? And that's all great as we go through the hell of taking it one day at a time .. fighting the withdraws, the craves, the urges and the temptations of our addiction.

During these days we might be taking it moment by moment to get through to the next hour. Our quit days start to build confidence within us. We strive to make 100, 200, 300 days along side our quit brothers and sisters. We relish at the milestones we've accomplished ...... and we should!

Yet it's during this time ...
when life begins to knock on the door of reality. We slowly start to take each day we're quit for granted. We feel invincible. Some might even feel that since we've been quit a certain number of days, months and yes even years that one dip won't hurt. We must fight against that urge and by doing so means saying to yourself, "Not today, my friend, today I'm quit."

I believe some of us forget how and why we got to this point to begin with.

We got here by taking it one day at a time.
Not a month at a time, nor a year at a time.

Not even a forever ..... but one day ... just today.

Today is the first day of my quit - - - no matter if I'm posting Day 1 or Day 1001.

What do I mean by this? ...... It's simple.

In the beginning what are we thinking about the most? Probably posting the number of days we've been quit, right? And that's all great as we go through the hell of taking it one day at a time .. fighting the withdraws, the craves, the urges and the temptations of our addiction.

During these days we might be taking it moment by moment to get through to the next hour. Our quit days start to build confidence within us. We strive to make 100, 200, 300 days along side our quit brothers and sisters. We relish at the milestones we've accomplished ...... and we should!

Yet it's during this time ...
when life begins to knock on the door of reality. We slowly start to take each day we're quit for granted. We feel invincible. Some might even feel that since we've been quit a certain number of days, months and yes even years that one dip won't hurt. We must fight against that urge and by doing so means saying to yourself, "Not today, my friend, today I'm quit."

I believe some of us forget how and why we got to this point to begin with.

We got here by taking it one day at a time.
Not a month at a time, nor a year at a time.

Not even a forever ..... but one day ... just today.

Yesterday I just got sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I dumped all my Scoal Long cut straight down the toilet. My 2 kids watched...they are little so they call Scoal kuk a pooh. Today is day 2 for me. This web site is helping me. I chewed 1 1/2 cans a day for the last 8 years.

Well I haven't quite figured this web site out, but I know you all are serious about quitting. I have not had a dip for 33 hours. I am feeling a little under the weather so not sure if my legs feeling funny has anything to do with not having nicotine. That stuff is wicked, I am looking forward to dating again. I was so preoccupied with the can that I wouldn't go out to meet. Looking forward to getting my smile back. One day at a time I know I can do this. Its good to know that when I get the urge or a trigger all I have to do is sit down at the computer and start reading.

You're absolutely right!

Reading posts and articles will help you to understand what others have gone through and in return will help you get through your next urge or crave. Another thing that helps is phone numbers from your fellow quitters especially over the next few months, .. you'll go through so many emotions.

Sometimes your mind will play tricks on you ... like ...

"C'mon it's just one dip. Are you such a pansy ass that you can't have ONE dip? You deserve it for being quit this long! Just do it ... you'll feel better!"

That's your addiction talking.

And it won't make you feel better. It'll make you feel worse 'cause now you're back at Day one. maxrebar53, you can do this!! We believe in you!

Take it moment by moment if you have to ....
but ultimately you hold the power .... to your freedom .... to your life!

If I don't hear from you again, maxrebar53 - - Merry Christmas! I'm glad you chose this year to give yourself such an amazing gift ..... the gift to quit!

ps) I hope others who want to quit grab their gift as well. I can't think of a better time than now ... can you?

Still here! 1191 and counting. Honestly if I hadn't made a bookmark with a counter for my quit date I would never know how long it's been. Usually I just tell people "Uh, I've been quit for over 3 years". lol

It can be done and this place was the key for me. No more lurking! Get out here and "man up".

Merry Christmas everyone.

Imagine


- Imagine being twelve and your first dip. Dad lets you do it around the garage with him as you tinker with his tools pretending to help. Pretty cool, huh?

- Imagine being fifteen and your friends start hanging out at your house 'cause it's okay to dip around your parents. Heck, most of their parents haven't a clue about the dipping ritual that happens.

- Imagine being nineteen and working with your father at his business. Both still dipping and enjoying the conversations you spend because you feel a connection, ...... even if it has to do with dip.

- Imagine finding your first sore, ..... gums raw but you still keep using. Dad says its happened to him but it'll go away. So you pack it to the other side of your mouth. It feels somewhat less painful that way.

- Imagine being twenty-one and the birth of your first and only son. You're so nervous but you need some dip to take that edge off. You ask the nurses for a cup to spit into. And while holding your son, you remind yourself to get another can after you leave the hospital since you're out.

- Imagine being twenty-seven and your now six yr old wants to go hunting with you, like he has many times before but you tell him he can't go. He's unable to since there's going to be alcohol and a little party later at a friends house. Your son cries not understanding why Daddy won't take him hunting. You promise to take him another time. Maybe next weekend. Your wife reassures him as you scoot out the door without him noticing you've left.

- Imagine hunting most of the day while drinking beer. Later that evening, you're at a friends house you've known since grade school. You guys start playing a little poker and get somewhat carried away with the shots of liquor, ... now being passed around.

- Imagine feeling a bit dizzy and resting on the couch since the room won't stop spinning. Some time later, others pass by, your friends and laugh at you 'cause your drunker than shit. They believed you've passed out since they can hear you snoring.

- Imagine being so intoxicated to the point that you've swallowed your snuff. And what they believe is snoring is actually you gasping for air since your wad of dip is lodged in the back of your throat. You're unable to move, .. unable to signal for help. At that moment ... you die .. slowly .. not from cancer .. but from choking on your own wad of dip.

- Imagine in the morning your friends leaving for town; not wanting to wake you. One of them returns by mid-afternoon. Your wife is somewhat concern since you haven't called. He finds you in the same spot and to his shock, ............. you're unresponsive.

- Imagine leaving behind your wife and son, your mother, father and sister, leaving behind your friends. One being me, who remembers playing truth or dare and having to kiss you. We were fourteen then. ---- (incidentally that's around the same time I started dipping secretly)

- - Now I want you to sit back and imagine if cancer is truly the only culprit that can 'cause your death.

This is a true story.

Jay had a kind heart but was stupid to think he wasn't addicted. He believed he was invincible to cancer; ... to death. Yet sadly he died by asphyxiation.

Rest in peace, Jay Archibald!
I hope you're death wasn't in vain and by telling your story will help someone take that first step to quit.
