First post for me, glad I found the site. I guess I should tell you a bit about myself. I'm 35 yrs old, and have been dipping off and on from the age of 20. (mostly on!)
I've never considered myself a hardcore dipper. I've gone days, weeks without dip on multiple occasions. Not because I've tried to quit, but just because I didn't need or want it. I don't dip right before bed, or when I wake up, or after lunch, anything like that. If I'm working in the garage, the yard, or am drinking... then yup, I'm dippin'. Same with being at a sporting event. A can used to last me a couple weeks. Now? I'd say 3 or 4 days, maybe a week at the very most. I dip Kodiak (winter or straight) and pour JDaniels into it as well. I really dig dipping really. But, I do know it's horrible for me, even if I don't do it "as much" as other do. I have had spells of going through a can a day, (I was on a sabbatical through my job, had 10 weeks paid vacation, and I dipped like a mad man...) and remember my gums being wasted, and the tip of my tongue having little sensation to it.
I've ordered some Hooch snuff, just to see if it helps. I haven't dipped in two days, and I feel okay. I'm just mentaly thinking about it now, because I'm now trying to quit. I told my wife that when my son is born, (in March) I would stop. I'm trying to get a jump on it.
My gums have receded somewhat in the spot I keep my dip, I can tell one of my teeth are exposed more than the other on the other side. That scares me some. I don't have any sores, and haven't had any reason to think I'm in trouble, but I know I need to quit. It's the times I do work around the house when I really want to have it. Oh, and driving for long distances is a killer too. I'm in CA, and if I drive to AZ to visit my mom, I'll go through a can no problem.
Anyways, enough babble... hoping this place can help me in my fight. I quit for 3 months once, I don't know why I started again, wish I didn't. I'm going to try again, and pray I can kick this habit. In reading what I typed....I do understand I have a habit. Make no mistake.. just because I think I'm not a "chronic" dipper or go through a can a day, doesn't mean I don't realize I'm an addcit... I am. Wish me luck.

Good morning y'all !!
Good to see ya here Scott. Not gonna wish you luck, though, as you don't need it. Define your addiction, which I feel you have, then defeat it. Keep your head in the game as it were and don't let nicotine control you. Look forward to seeing many more posts from you.

I really dig dipping really.
We're gonna have to work on that one man...
Welcome Scott! Great to see you finally took that very important first step and quit. Go introduce yourself to the others that have quit in the same month as you (April '07 group). When you're done with that go check out ODT's website and see what this crap can and will do to you. Then see if you still really dig dipping. If that's not enough, I'll let you come over and feel the perminent "pouch" chewing created in my jaw.
I know I might sound a bit rough or mean about it. It's not my intention. Maybe it'll open your eyes to the fact that this stuff is robbing you of years from your life. Not to mention the years you'll spend in treatment when you get cancer. Or the months you'll spend doped up on Morphene right before you die. Is that cold hard reality setting in yet? Can you imagine yourself laying in a bed, nnedles and tubes everywhere, knowing Cancer is eating away at your face, trying to come to grasp with the fact that you know your days are numbered? It scares the ever-living shit out of me.
Anyway, I don't want to scare you off. Plus every one of us here wants one common thing, you off of chew. Welcome.

No worries on sounding harsh guys.... I need it.
I've seen ODT's site..... yikes. That was one of the reasons I've really decided to stop.
You know, I always thought to myself..."I don't dip like other people.... I'm not that bad, I can quit someday."
Well, here I am, 35, and 15 years later. Time to stop this shit.
I'm gonna do it.

Now I'm posting for theraputic reasons I guess. You know, I'm talking to my wife about it, and even she doesn't think I'm all that bad. I guess it's all the same, I'm an addict... so I get that. But, I don't crave the stuff during the day. I don't need to get out and have a dip. Is there such a thing as a situational dipper? I can't stand the thought of cutting my grass without dipping. Doing work in the garage without dipping. Taking a long drive without dipping. But... that's about it! I guess when it comes down to it, there are other times I just "have one...." like when I'm on the computer at night. Bottom line? A can every 3 days, a can every week.... that's too much. Just because I don't have a can a day or two can a day habit doesn't mean I don't have the habit. Mentally, this is killing me! This is day 3, I know it gets easier, I've been here before. I'm just hoping and praying that I can throw in some of the hooch snuff or the smokey mountain stuff and when I'm painting, feel like things are the way they should be! The last 3 days haven't been all that hard. I've been working and doing my normal routine.... I don't miss it all that much. I just always liked the idea that if I wanted one, I could have it. Now that it's not an option, it's messin' with my mind. Does any of this make sense!? UGH!

Thanks for that link... just read through most of it, that helped me realize a few things for sure.
I still can't get over the fact... I feel like this is eating away at me, although I've gona a week or more in the past and not even thought about it. Of course, I always knew in the back of my mind I could have it again, or would have it again. This is different for sure.

hello
Is this the place for chew quitters? I'm a chew user and need to quit. I stumbled across this place looking at another website. It had a link so here I am.
I have chewed for 18 years. I started back in high school. I am straight and still looking for a fine babe to settle down with. I'm tired of screwing different women all the time and want to find a 20 year old virgin. I am sort of a big fello. I am 81"tall and weigh around 290-300.
I don't like cocky smart ass people. I can take a joke, but joke with me and expect to be joked back.
Any music lovers out there? I rock out to groups like Tool and that type of music.
If this place is about support then sign me in. I think I'll go check this place out.

This isn't an online dating service, nor is it a playground for someone who needs to get a life. Quit dip, that's it.

If you read the post below mine you might see how I misinterpreted this place as being playful.
I don't understand what's going on here but I'll hang around for a while longer and try to figure it out. This doesn't seem like what I imagined a web support site would be like.

If you read the post below mine you might see how I misinterpreted this place as being playful.
I don't understand what's going on here but I'll hang around for a while longer and try to figure it out. This doesn't seem like what I imagined a web support site would be like.
*toolman scratched head and wunders*
Toolman,
How'd you find us and where are you from?
Are you ready to kick dip in the teeth and be rid of it forever?

hello
Is this the place for chew quitters? I'm a chew user and need to quit. I stumbled across this place looking at another website. It had a link so here I am.
I have chewed for 18 years. I started back in high school. I am straight and still looking for a fine babe to settle down with. I'm tired of screwing different women all the time and want to find a 20 year old virgin. I am sort of a big fello. I am 81"tall and weigh around 290-300.
I don't like cocky smart ass people. I can take a joke, but joke with me and expect to be joked back.
Any music lovers out there? I rock out to groups like Tool and that type of music.
If this place is about support then sign me in. I think I'll go check this place out.

Toolman,
How'd you find us and where are you from?

It says in the first sentence of my first post how I found you.
To answer your second question, I wouldn't be here if that were not the case. If you have referals to other sites, that would be great.

not a welcome wagon per se...there is a welcome center that tells you how and why it works.

ToolMan,
That post was one of many you'll find here and there between quit brothers that have known each other for quite a while and have shared ups and downs in this battle against tobacco. There's plenty of good times and BS going on in here between brothers and sisters. Let it be known though, that when it comes to quitting and staying quit, we consider it serious business, life and death, as a matter of fact. If you're quittin' or wanting to, come on in the water's fine. If you're shittin', just move along, my friend. Either way, have a good one.

Some odt site that I found from another site which I found from another site....do you want the names of those sites too? would you like a finger print, blood sample,...or better yet, a urine sample.
If the urine taste legit then you'll know I don't spit. Let me know.
In light of all this support, which is minimal at best...There's this site where other's offer tons of support. It has many more members too. The format is the same however it's, shall I say, a bit more user friendly.

Yeah? Which site is that? Enquiring minds want to know. What? You in the witness protection plan? Simple questions perturb you? Never learned to make conversation and get to know someone?
All this hostility can only come from one person.
See ya.

"Tool" man certainly applies.

I thought this was an annonymous web site. I don't know you and feel no need to share my personal imformation with you.
Your first greeting to me was to get a life, so stop writting to me, will ya. I have no desire to answer your questions.
Now if someone recognizes that I actually took the time to research and find a quit support site and is wiling to help...then I'd be happy to get to know them and answer questions.

*toolman thinks this guy has issues*
Da Coach thinks that you are going to have issues with a lot of folks around here. The folks in this group are generally vets that assist those that want to be assisted. If you want to post roll then do it. Quit f'in around and just answer the questions so that those who established this site can learn how others are locating it. Ain't too hard to figure that out, you just want to be confrontational. Which ain't really welcome.

I ain't fucking around with no one, so shut the fuck up.
I get this feeling you guys aren't taking a likin' to my handle. I met this guy in chat a couple months ago and thought he was cool. He told me about how his handle got changed. I told him I was a tool fan too. I liked the way he talked in third person and he was funnier then shit. I made a promise to him that I woud quit and I didn't.
I have this issue about trying to immulate people that seem cool. I know it sounds silly but I've always been like that.
he told me I'd get tons of support. That is left to be seen. I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about roll. WTF is roll and I'll do it?
I always treat people with respect. If you disrespect me, I will disrepect you.
My name is Rock
I live in Casa Grande, Arizona.
I found this site while in chat at quitsmokeless.org Someone had that for a handle.
I own a house and three dogs.
I drive an old pick up truck.
I love to screw beautiful girls.
I love beer and BBQ's
I am quitting copenhagen.
anything more I can add?
Also how strange that this guy I admired was so different today?

Hey FUCKSTICK!!!
Sit the fuck down and listen!
You came in here fucking around. Some guys asked you some questions and you got stupid. Nobody disrespected you until you started acted fucking stupid and evasive. If you want to quit dipping your in the right spot. If you want to fuck around and be silly, you still are in the right spot, but not till people know you. GOT IT!

You guys are all playing like assholes. You ladies won't see through the red mist to stop bitch slapping each other long enough to see you're all here to help each other.
On the bright side, it's like keeping you all from thinking about your jones and it's free entertainment for me.
Get after it ...

TOOLman,
What name did you use when you met LOOT in chat? And if LOOT told you the the reason why he is LOOt and not TOOLman, then you shoulda know that handle would cause a lot of problems.

I don't know what i'm doing here except I want to quit tobacco. I checked out another web site and there were hundreds like myself.
It is so wierd to read about all the things I have in common with many of them. I was chatting with some guy in chat named GP that said I should check this site out. He said it was more personal with less people.
Besides getting rid of all my stuff and saying that I quit, what's next.
What are quit groups? My guess is that I would be in January.
Any help would be great.

morning quitters! it's championship sunday... a great day to be quit!!!

I am still trying to come to a place where my brain can beat the tin. I have thought about many quit statigies and tried many of them with little or no success.
This decision for me is a life changing, life defining moment for me. Before I go getting too excited I felt I should have a plan in place.
First thing I have done as placed an unopen can of Copenhagen on my night stand. Every morning when I wake up the first thought I have is where's my dip. There it will be, right there, for me to say fuck you to.
I have to convince myself that I can say no right from the first moment I awake. I know if I kick the tins ass right at the start, I'll be fine for the rest of the day. I will repeat this process daily.
I have been trying to quit chewing for over 5 years. I've tried so many methods to quit. I beleive that interacting with people that are as stupid as I am will increase my chances of success.
I've read enough now to see that you feller's take roll call pretty darn serious. I am chewing a fat fresh one right now. So how serious could I be? well I was chewing a fatty an hour ago too and before that even. I am addicted to this stuff and I am serious enough to look on the internet for help. That's pretty darn serious for me.
When I spit this wad of chew out and go rinse what's left, I want to know I can count on you people for help. I will need it because I see how serious quitting is and I've always been a man of my word. So I guess it's time to get this thing going.

Burger, I'd like to welcome you to your quit. We will do whatever we can to assist you in this quit. I wish I could say it would be easy, but we all know that isn't the truth. Your quit is what you want it to be. The tobacco is just a thing. And you can beat the demon within the tin.
No matter what any of us do however, the ball is in your corner. You have made the choice. Now we will help with the followup. Looking forward to your next 100 posts and more.

When I spit this wad of chew out and go rinse what's left, I want to know I can count on you people for help. I will need it because I see how serious quitting is and I've always been a man of my word. So I guess it's time to get this thing going.
A word of wisdom for ya. When you're on this side of the quit, you'll see that super tough decision to put the can down and say "no" isn't really all that hard of a choice. Welcome aboard and we're here for ya.
Just remember, no one forces that shit into your mouth. It takes a conscious choice to do it. As long as you can keep telling yourself "no" you'll be good.
Something that's often said around here is "Embrace the Suck". Some of my other "long-winded" brothers can go into more depth, but basically what it means is cherish how much quitting screws you up until you're clean. Because every day of pain, every morning of the fog, and every hard-core crave is one step towards taking your life back.
This is a fight for your life! We're in your corner.
Oh, look at that... I guess I'm a little "long-winded" tonight too. :P

This shit's funny--I don't care who you are. ODT will know what this is all about.
As the frigid air of winter grips the nation, the rerun of this classic about a Texas chili cook-off is sure to warm the cockles of your heart !!
If you can read this whole story without tears of laughter running down your cheeks, then there's no hope for you! Note: Please take time to read this slowly. If you pay attention to first two judges, the reaction of the third judge is even better! For those of you who have lived in Texas, you know how true this is. They actually have a Chili Cook-off about the time the Rodeo comes to town. It takes up a major portion of the parking lot at the Astrodome. The notes are from an inexperienced chili taster named Frank, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast:
Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off.
Judge #3 called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the Budweiser truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted."
Here are the scorecards from the event:
Chili # 1 (Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chili)
Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.
Judge # 2 -- Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
Judge # 3 -- (Frank) Holy shit, what the hell is this stuff? You could
remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy.
Chili # 2 (Arthur's Afterburner Chili)
Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken
seriously.
Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what
I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who
wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.
Chili # 3 (Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili)
Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick. Needs more beans.
Judge # 2 -- A bean-less chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers.
Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels
like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now.
Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting shit-faced from all of the beer.
Chili # 4 (Bubba's Black Magic)
Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.
Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable
to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the barmaid,
was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300-lb. bitch is starting to look HOT... just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac?
Chili # 5 (Linda's Legal Lip Remover)
Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground,
adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
Judge # 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato.
Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks.
Chili # 6 (Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety)
Judge #1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers.
Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.
Judge #3-- I shit myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut Sally. She must be kinkier than I thought. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone.
Chili # 7 (Susan's Screaming Sensation Chili)
Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of
chili peppers at the last moment. I should take note that I am worried about Judge #3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.
Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and
I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava-like shit to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful. Screw it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.
Chili # 8 (Tommy's Toe-Nail Curling Chili)
Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor dude, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot chili? 'roflmao'

As posted by TrojanScott on 2-1-07
Thought I'd give my reviews of the three Herbal Snuffs I tried, tell you what I've liked and disliked about each one.
They have helped me through various times, and for sure, through various "trigger" moments.
First, and foremost... for anyone who hasn't tried one, or wants to try one, make no mistake... they taste like shit. They suck. You get flavor for about 10 minutes a pop, they're even messier than normal dip, and there's no buzz, that's for damn sure. However, they do trick your mind in that the actual physical habit of putting something in your lip, reaching for the can, etc, etc, is achieved. Was for me anyways. Another thought... every one is herbal, has no nicotine, no bad shit period. You can swallow the juice. You can eat the stuff if you wanted too. I was never one to swallow, (insert joke here) but I did have no issues with spitting out whatever I was using, and feeling just fine by not having to rinse out if I didn't have to. I could swallow, eat, do whatever, and not feel like I might get sick. I know, some of you sick fuckers used to do that with Cope/ Kodiak/ Rooster/ Skoal/ or whatever, but I never did. I was kind of a pansy dipper in that regard.
Okay... worst to best...
Worst? Bacc-Off. Someone in here liked it best, I found I liked it least of all. I think it's because of the consistency of it. It's like little beads of clay crap. The taste is marginal. I also didn't like that I needed to order 6 cans of it to get it shipped! The straight stuff was probably the best. The wintergreen was so bad I threw it out, then picked up a piece of my pet Rottie's steaming shit, and shoved it in my mouth. It was an improvement. Cleaning up after dipping Bacc-Off is a little better than the other brands, because the beads are easy to just wash out, spit out, whatever. Imagine having a mouth full of miniature pepples in your mouth. Kinda pointless, but easy to spit out with a little work.
COST: 2.15 per can, 6 can minimum plus shipping costs. ($5 or so)
Available in stores too, but I've never seen it.
Taste: C (only because the Straight is Okay..)
Consistency: F
Clean up: B
Spit factor: C-
OVERALL: D+
***** Wanna add something positive to the Bacc-Off review******
It did come with a pamphlet of a "quit-program" which basically entailed the mixing method. 90/10 real dip to BaccOff week 1, 80/20 the following week, 70/30, and so on. Pretty cool that they took the time to throw this in there. They offer a program on their website too, you can purchase. Of course, Bacc-Off arrived when I was about 10 days into my quit, so I was pretty pissed off thinking I could have been at that point, having 90% of real dip in my lip while I was reading. UGH. Oh well.
Smokey Mountain Chew. A close runner up to the champion who I'll get to in a second. I like SMC better than I did the first time I tried it. This is made of corn silk and other stuff, and it has the same type of consistency of long cut dip. The straight was pretty good, but the wintergreen was even better to me, especially when I poured a cap full of Jack Daniels in it. Taste lasts a bit longer, and I found that out of the three types of herbal I tried, this one was best for spitting. Clean up after dipping? This one is worst. The little slivers of corn silk or whatever are EVERYWHERE, and difficult to get out. No way can you look like you weren't dipping this unless you have access to a gallon of water, beer, soda, whatever. Also seemed to stain the teeth a little more than other brands as well.
Cost: About $4 a can at my local Ralph's store, probably cheaper in other states.
Taste: B
Consistency B+
Clean up: D
Spit factor: A
OVERALL: B
Hooch Herbal Snuff. Best stuff. Must buy the Spitfire Chew over the Mint. Mint isn't bad on taste, it's actually quite good, but the Spitfire Chew is a lot better. The consistency is closer to Cope. Pretty fine stuff, and actually not very sticky (like the other two brands are.) It's the closest to actual dip when you open the can. The can itself is tin, which is kinda cool. I have to give this stuff an extra credit grade of "F" for it taking a half hour to open, however. No way can you run your fingernail across this can and open it. It took a steak knife and half a finger nail for me to get the first can open, and when I did, I lost half the can to the kitchen floor. (if it were real dip, I'd have scooped that shit right back into the can, but with this, I just swept it up into the trash can.) Okay... back to the review... Hooch makes this stuff with some sort of peppers and tabasco included! This gives the dip a little "kick" and you can actually feel a little burn against your gum.
The flavor lasts for a bit, (again, better with JD poured in, but that's me) but not quite as long as SMC, but still pretty good.
Spit factor is good too. Clean up isn't as easy as Bacc-Off, but not as bad as SMC, it's somewhere in between. I'd actually say it's like Cope would be. Not the easiest, but nothing a couple swirls of water can't fix. Also doesn't leave any coloring on the teeth the way SMC does.
The taste on this really sets it apart from the others, and the little burn you get on your gum really tricks out your brain for a second or two.
Cost: 2.95, internet only, plus shipping. (I think it was like $3 or so)
Taste: A
Consistency B
Clean up: C
Spit Factor: B
OVERALL B+
Extra credit (can opening) F (this is offset by the extra extra credit score of A+ for having an actual tin can.
Hope this helps out any fellow quitters who need to have something in their lip to get through those tough craves. It's helped me.

Hey boys and girls, could someone answer for me the question I'm sure has been asked and answered a million times around here before?
What's the purpose of this site? Just a ruder/cruder version of the other one or something?
I guess I'm sorta looking for a serious answer. If that's possible 'na na'
The "purpose" of this site is simple......................help others quit and keep quit from smokless tobacco. This site was started due to a certain indivuals opinion of how people were suppose to act on the other site. The Mods here were banned and alienated by the olther site so this site was started. Personnally speaking I think the more tools available to quit dip the better. We are endevouring to make this the premiere quit dip site on the web. We have an ACTIVE group of Mods and are in the process of getting our home page at www.killthecan.org (http://www.killthecan.org) established so we begin to be found on internet searches. We feel we have some fresh new ideas and are excited about the possibilities here. I am sure the others may have a different opinion but that is mine. I hope this is what you were looking for. If not, shoot me a PM. Stay clean!
PS if by ruder and cruder you mean can you post nude pix and call someone a homo then the answer is yes. 'Y' 'BanDog'

That pretty much sums it up. No need to choose sides, this is just where I feel most at home. I have fought many battles against the Nico-Bitch with these brothers/sisters on my side. I still check up on the QS2 from time to time, but spend most of my efforts in the QS chat and here with my good friends. The main focus is quitting tobacco and staying quit with the freedom to do so anyway that you can without
"big-brother" looming over your shoulder and chastizing you at each and every turn. C'mon in, and stay awhile. The water's fine. B)

Hey boys and girls, could someone answer for me the question I'm sure has been asked and answered a million times around here before?
What's the purpose of this site? Just a ruder/cruder version of the other one or something?Â
I guess I'm sorta looking for a serious answer. If that's possible 'na na'
Whodey said it perfectly. This site has 7 admins. No admin and I truly mean NO admin has any more power than the others.
No one person should be allowed to say what is or isn't conducive to another persons quit.
You can't get away with whatever you want on this site. No one can. But at the same time, if someone posts a link and you think it may be unwise to click on it; you're at fault, not the person that posted it. Just as if you went to Mickey D's and bought coffee, spilt it in your lap, it's your mistake. We are not politically correct here. We're not going to stroke your sack and tell you how easy it is to quit tobacco.....BECAUSE IT FUCKING ISN'T EASY! But we'll be here to help you and anyone else every step of the way. We'll tell you what's coming and what we've been through. In the meantime, we're going to have a good time and enjoy being free from the bitch. 'oh yeah'

Thanks, I do appreciate the serious replies, and I am truly sorry it took me this long to get back here to read the answers.
I've been quit for 124 days now, obviously the other site has been monumentally important in helping me get this far. And just as obviously, I haven't been around here long enough to know if this site will be as valuable a tool to me as the other one, or even if I'll have much to offer to anyone else here.
I will certainly keep an open mind about it though. I also appreciate the fact that I've been made to feel welcome here. Although some of the Smilies do scare me a little...especially this one 'boob'

Just a thought here folks, but after looking through Matt30's question and responses...perhaps we need to amend the "Welcome Center" area.
Item number 8: Our History, how we got here.
Like I said...just a thought...but my two cents are that if we don't document the sequence of historic events....the real truth tends to be embellished after time. What a minute, this belongs in the "It's My Opinion" section.... :o

This one is a girl. My 16-month old is also a girl. I work for a Women's Business Enterprise (24 girls 2 guys). I have 2 dogs--male and female. To stay in touch with my inner-man, me and the boy dog do the male bonding thing a lot and I also coach HS wrestling. Has anybody seen my copy of Vanity Fair?
We're not in double digits yet today.

I posted this on the other site today. I'll post it here as well, hoping that it will stick in someone's mind and help them when they need it.
I read about things going on with people on the site. I’ve seen lately people leaving because someone was mean to them, or they “weren’t getting much out of it” anymore. People have caved because of not being prepared, “personal situations”, just having curiosity about what it would be like to have a dip again. I’ve asked myself how this can be. The only thing I can think is that people do not understand just how horrible it is to have cancer or having a loved one with cancer, even after reading ODT’s story. Over the course of a couple months this past summer, I was the caregiver for my dad, who was dying of cancer. I’ve put together some of what his thoughts were, as well as mine. This is what you could be doing to yourself and your family.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You
Sitting for hours while poison is pumped into your veins. Throwing up. Laying on a couch while radiation sears through your body. Having a halo screwed into your head. Weaker and weaker, less able to get around. Feeling sorry for yourself, frustrated. Unable to talk to your family about how you feel, donÂ’t want them any more depressed than they already are. Too proud for canes or walkers, falling often. Skin the consistency of tissue paper, tearing at the slightest urging. Bleeding on everything. Painful visits from old friends. Pity. Knowing it is your last everything (childÂ’s birthday, NCAA tournament, Christmas). Up all night screaming. Intense pain. Moving into hospital bed. Taking morphine daily. Confused, angry. Forgetting you canÂ’t walk, falling. Sometimes urinating on those who help you up. Having to be carried to a portable toilet. Having your children wipe you. Shame, embarrassment on having brought this on yourself and your family. Making widows and fatherless children. Angry, non-sensical rants. Not making sense anymore. No understanding. No family. No life. Death by your own hand.
Your Family
Sleeping on the floor in the hospital room. Waiting for the diagnosis. Fearing and hearing the worst. Sitting for hours while poison is pumped into your loved one’s veins. Answering the “how long do I have” question with tears in your eyes a dozen times because they keep forgetting. Driving them every day to radiation treatments. Rubbing their back when they get sick. Cleaning up the mess. Trying to stay positive. Trying to explain to the children. Crying. Wondering how you’ll make it. Fielding phone calls, giving updates on an unimproving condition. Arguing about when the last medicine was taken. Going through the “never agains” (sharing the joys and sorrows of life, playing golf together, watching the game). Sending the children out of their own house when the pain and suffering gets too bad. Fear of life without your loved one. Anger that they are leaving voluntarily. Unable to express anger to a dying person. Not much sleep. Buying a casket. Guilty, hoping they go soon. Angry that it didn’t have to be this way. Coming to terms with the newfound emptiness in your life.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How can you let yourself be convinced that it is OK to put yourself on this path? I canÂ’t imagine any set of life circumstances or disagreements or public humiliation that would cause me to leave this site. So many claim that it is their lifeline, yet they leave it so cavalierly. Your quit is serious business. Cancer kills people in a horrible, ugly, and painful manner. A lot of people on this site talk about how much they love their family and how important their health is to them. Talk is cheap and meaningless without actions to back them up. Show your family how much you love them. Show yourself that you truly want to be healthy.
Please do not send condolences. I know and appreciate that you all are sorry for my familyÂ’s loss. WeÂ’re doing great and that is not the point of this post. I posted this with the hope that even one person will consider the potential consequences when thinking about leaving the site or caving.

The last couple of days have been heart breaking for me as a mother. Right now, at this moment, I am too tired to go into great detail about what's happened. We did however have a medical scare with my youngest son. Please know that he is fine and doing somewhat better than he was. I know I should have contacted someone but honestly that was the furthest from my mind as was Copenhagen. It's hard to believe but in the past three days I have been under an extreme amount of stress yet not once have I thought about Copenhagen or dipping. ...UM, er 'til Killerattorney called me today. (laugh) Heck, I couldn't remember what quit day I was on for him to post roll for me.
Like I said, I am tired and if this makes completely no sense, I'm sorry. I just wanted to scoot on to let everyone know that yes, I am still quit but I am not sure in the coming days if I'll be around to post roll or not. I give you my word, I am taking it day by day. Tobacco can not change my sons health or my stress level. It can not take away all the bad and bring me good. The only thing tobacco can do is put me back at Day 1. A day I'd rather not ever see again.
I'd like to thank the ones who have sent pm's, emails, made calls and those who have kept me in their thoughts. I really could use some positive energy right now.
Remember that we are never guaranteed tomorrow; make good on what you have in your life today.

I am not only happy to hear from you, but also extremely happy that your son is doing better. Know this though Nickie, your family is first and foremost and that is where you need to focus your energy. We can wait. I am also glad to hear how strong you are through this and not giving in to a cave. My prayers are with you and please keep us posted.

MLS,
I would like to reinterate what ODT has said with an added footnote:
Your display of strength and willpower is an inspiration to us all, and provides the necessary energy I need to carry on day to day. Thank you. Wishing you and yours the very best.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Ashley asked me to post it over here a couple weeks ago, i think. Sorry it took me this long to do it.

Anyone want the St. Louis weather report?
We had rain, then sleet, then snow. Less than 2 inches where I am, probably quite a bit more in other parts of the metro area. It's cold.
We'll get at least one warm day between now and the 23rd, so this crap should be gone before y'all get here. Let's hope so, if not I will be royally pissed.

“I WILL QUIT TOMORROW “- EPPILOG FOR RICKY
I have been thinking a lot about my quit this weekend. I had a friend and neighbor in Atlanta for 14 years, his son was a year older than my son. We moved there when he was one year old. So my son and Ricky's son played together all the time and he and I became good friends. We would work in our yards, have a few beers, he would smoke and I would dip - see I started dipping after I moved to this house. Well Ricky is just your average family guy - wife 2 kids and a small landscaping company. On Saturdays we would hang out on his back patio and watch the wifeÂ’s play tennis and we would drink and bull shit. He would tell me I needed to quit Skoal before I got hooked on it and I would tell him to quit smoking. Well he always said he would quit tomorrow and he even did quit a couple of times for a few days. He knew he needed to quit, his dad died of lung cancer and he wanted to be around for his family.
WELL TOMORROW NEVER CAME!!! On early Friday morning Ricky (55yrs young) passed away from lung cancer leaving his wife and 2 kids and a grandson alone. Think about how fortunate we are for living in tomorrow. Our tomorrow is here today and we have the complete control to keep tomorrow here today. What do you think Ricky would have given the day he was told he had lung cancer to turn the clock back to a time before the cancer started, say maybe 100 days or so? I think he would have given everything he had to quit and not have cancer. Well we don't have to give anything to have what he would have paid a million bucks for - to be nicotine and cancer free. So tomorrow is here today - 24 hours with your little nicotine friend tapping at the door telling you she loves you and to let her in. Remember, we are not quitting dip - we have quit. Shut the door for today and repeat that again tomorrow and so on. Take the opportunity that you have provided for yourself and stay quit for you, stay quit for your family and friends!
Cancer affects more people than just the dying victim. Sure Ricky died in a great deal of pain, he had lost over 100 pounds and could not get out of bed for over a month. His wife had to leave work to assist her husband. A once upper middle class family is now in dyer straights. The announcement asked for flowers not to be sent, instead it requested donations for the family.
NICOTINE WILL KILL YOU AND DEVISTATE YOUR FAMILY!

Sorry about your friend FP. But the curious part about cancer is, even while I was going back and forth to hospital for my own cancer, I would see people standing outside smoking. People who brought relatives in. Doctors who treat this affliction. Even seen, on 2 occassions patients with IV's in them, standing outside smoking. Nicotine is a VERY strong drug. Anyone who denies it is plain stupid.

FP, sorry as well to hear about your neighbor and friend. Whenever I hear stories like this it reminds me of the old Credence Clearwater Revial song "Someday Never Comes". That song ALWAYS makes the pit of my stomach feel hollow inside, even before I quit. Just something about it. Take care bud, use this unfortunate event to empower you resolve and your quit.

Ok, one more time. It is loading correct on my end. You would think after all this trouble, I would write down my passwords to various programs I use for web setup.
Nah. ;)
Try again. Let me know, please.
Works great ODT..... thanks
Thanks for pointing it out to me LDiddy. ;)

One of my bosses just came in to talk to me. About another man that has been with this company with him for 60 years. Bill went to see garney today. Garney is a frail little man. I don't think I have ever known him to be over 120 pounds. Now he is lucky to be 70 pounds. He has battled many things. From japs to cancer. And now cancer is about to win. Bill said Garney could hardly move at all. He is still sharp mind wise, but has no strength at all.
Bill said as he was about to leave, Garney motioned him over. Bill leaned to hear what Garney had to say. A quite whisper was exchanged. Bill then left and came in to work. He came back to tell me what Garney wanted me to do. And then we talked some about Garney. I have only known him for 18 years. But in that amount of time, we became great friends. He loved to shoot. He loved nature. Squirrel hunting was about all he did. He was a big movie buff. Not much on today's Hollywood. It was the old stuff he liked.
He and Bill actually worked with my uncle here at this company back when i was in elementary school. Didn't know that tie til after I came to work here. Garney was an electrical engineer. A smart man. And he could draw some funny toons, too.
Anyhow, back to the whisper. Bill asked if I remembered a certain movie. Citizen Kane. Garney's whisper to Bill?

“I WILL QUIT TOMORROW “- EPPILOG FOR RICKY
I have been thinking a lot about my quit this weekend. I had a friend and neighbor in Atlanta for 14 years, his son was a year older than my son. We moved there when he was one year old. So my son and Ricky's son played together all the time and he and I became good friends. We would work in our yards, have a few beers, he would smoke and I would dip - see I started dipping after I moved to this house. Well Ricky is just your average family guy - wife 2 kids and a small landscaping company. On Saturdays we would hang out on his back patio and watch the wifeÂ’s play tennis and we would drink and bull shit. He would tell me I needed to quit Skoal before I got hooked on it and I would tell him to quit smoking. Well he always said he would quit tomorrow and he even did quit a couple of times for a few days. He knew he needed to quit, his dad died of lung cancer and he wanted to be around for his family.Â
WELL TOMORROW NEVER CAME!!! On early Friday morning Ricky (55yrs young) passed away from lung cancer leaving his wife and 2 kids and a grandson alone. Think about how fortunate we are for living in tomorrow. Our tomorrow is here today and we have the complete control to keep tomorrow here today. What do you think Ricky would have given the day he was told he had lung cancer to turn the clock back to a time before the cancer started, say maybe 100 days or so? I think he would have given everything he had to quit and not have cancer. Well we don't have to give anything to have what he would have paid a million bucks for - to be nicotine and cancer free. So tomorrow is here today - 24 hours with your little nicotine friend tapping at the door telling you she loves you and to let her in. Remember, we are not quitting dip - we have quit. Shut the door for today and repeat that again tomorrow and so on. Take the opportunity that you have provided for yourself and stay quit for you, stay quit for your family and friends!
Cancer affects more people than just the dying victim. Sure Ricky died in a great deal of pain, he had lost over 100 pounds and could not get out of bed for over a month. His wife had to leave work to assist her husband. A once upper middle class family is now in dyer straights. The announcement asked for flowers not to be sent, instead it requested donations for the family.
NICOTINE WILL KILL YOU AND DEVISTATE YOUR FAMILY!
Sorry about your friend FP. But the curious part about cancer is, even while I was going back and forth to hospital for my own cancer, I would see people standing outside smoking. People who brought relatives in. Doctors who treat this affliction. Even seen, on 2 occassions patients with IV's in them, standing outside smoking. Nicotine is a VERY strong drug. Anyone who denies it is plain stupid.
FP, sorry as well to hear about your neighbor and friend. Whenever I hear stories like this it reminds me of the old Credence Clearwater Revial song "Someday Never Comes". That song ALWAYS makes the pit of my stomach feel hollow inside, even before I quit. Just something about it. Take care bud, use this unfortunate event to empower you resolve and your quit.

Thanks for posting this, FranPro. My condolences on the passing of your friend.

Second last paragraph.
In a 2004 interview with The Boston Globe, Sox pitching ace Curt Schilling lamented the lure of smokeless tobacco for players and described his repeated efforts to quit as ''the hardest thing I've ever tried to do."

One of my bosses just came in to talk to me. About another man that has been with this company with him for 60 years. Bill went to see garney today. Garney is a frail little man. I don't think I have ever known him to be over 120 pounds. Now he is lucky to be 70 pounds. He has battled many things. From japs to cancer. And now cancer is about to win. Bill said Garney could hardly move at all. He is still sharp mind wise, but has no strength at all.
Bill said as he was about to leave, Garney motioned him over. Bill leaned to hear what Garney had to say. A quite whisper was exchanged. Bill then left and came in to work. He came back to tell me what Garney wanted me to do. And then we talked some about Garney. I have only known him for 18 years. But in that amount of time, we became great friends. He loved to shoot. He loved nature. Squirrel hunting was about all he did. He was a big movie buff. Not much on today's Hollywood. It was the old stuff he liked.
He and Bill actually worked with my uncle here at this company back when i was in elementary school. Didn't know that tie til after I came to work here. Garney was an electrical engineer. A smart man. And he could draw some funny toons, too.
Anyhow, back to the whisper. Bill asked if I remembered a certain movie. Citizen Kane. Garney's whisper to Bill?
Rosebud.
Garney Duncan aka the Grey Fox passed on in the early morning hours today. He is now free from the cancer that overtook his frail body.

No need to forgive you amigo. I was just rambling about a friend, his ordeal and his graceful exit from this life.

THE DECISION
Quitting dip comes down to one thing... a decision to quit. I can't spell it out any simpler than that. Sure, it's much easier for me to say that today now that I've quit than it would have been on day 1 or day 10, but every day that goes by, I believe it more and more.
I'm not here to tell you that the decision is easy to make because it's certainly not. There are some days when the decision is downright nearly impossible to make. But it's a decision that needs to be made no a daily basis.
There are many things in our lives and in our quits that we have no control over. We can't control the weather, we can't control how people view us, we can't control what happens at the office, we can't control whether we are sick. In our quits, we can't control the withdrawal that we go through, we can't control WHAT symptoms we'll experience nor can we control how long those symptoms persist.
To look at it that way doesn't look good. But remember... the decision.
You can DECIDE to put a dip in.
You can DECIDE to NOT put a dip in.
You can DECIDE whether you want to continue to be a slave to the can. You can DECIDE to LIVE your life WITHOUT dip.
I've had conversations with other quitters and cavers. I've been asked what makes me different (than someone who's struggling). The answer is simple... I made my decision. I'm not any stronger, I'm not any better and quite frankly I'm not any different. I'm an addict just like all of you... I made my decision. I made my decision this morning just like I have every morning since July 24th. I'll make a decision tomorrow as well.
When you're thinking that quitting isn't possible... when you're thinking that everything is out of your control and you NEED your dip... make a decision.
You're in a place where people can help you once you're made your decision but we can't make it for you. We're here to help.
DECIDE to let us help.
DECIDE to not dip today.
DECIDE to live life WITHOUT dip or chew.
DECIDE to live.
This thing is simple -- it's decision time my friend...

morning folks -- if you're lurking and not quit yet, it's decision time!!!
THE DECISION
Quitting dip comes down to one thing... a decision to quit. I can't spell it out any simpler than that. Sure, it's much easier for me to say that today now that I've quit than it would have been on day 1 or day 10, but every day that goes by, I believe it more and more.
I'm not here to tell you that the decision is easy to make because it's certainly not. There are some days when the decision is downright nearly impossible to make. But it's a decision that needs to be made no a daily basis.Â
There are many things in our lives and in our quits that we have no control over. We can't control the weather, we can't control how people view us, we can't control what happens at the office, we can't control whether we are sick. In our quits, we can't control the withdrawal that we go through, we can't control WHAT symptoms we'll experience nor can we control how long those symptoms persist.Â
To look at it that way doesn't look good. But remember... the decision.Â
You can DECIDE to put a dip in.Â
You can DECIDE to NOT put a dip in.Â
You can DECIDE whether you want to continue to be a slave to the can.
You can DECIDE to LIVE your life WITHOUT dip.
I've had conversations with other quitters and cavers. I've been asked what makes me different (than someone who's struggling). The answer is simple... I made my decision. I'm not any stronger, I'm not any better and quite frankly I'm not any different. I'm an addict just like all of you... I made my decision. I made my decision this morning just like I have every morning since July 24th. I'll make a decision tomorrow as well.Â
When you're thinking that quitting isn't possible... when you're thinking that everything is out of your control and you NEED your dip... make a decision.
You're in a place where people can help you once you're made your decision but we can't make it for you. We're here to help.Â
DECIDE to let us help.
DECIDE to not dip today.
DECIDE to live life WITHOUT dip or chew.
DECIDE to live.
This thing is simple -- it's decision time my friend...

Great Wednesday morning quitters !!

I am looking for help. Any of you have old tins laying around? Or are you a new quitter that still has an "emergency can" of dip? I am trying to fill up the can I use for my Trash Your Can (http://www.trashyourcan.org) program. I have the bottom of the can covered with tins taken from people I have talked to. Most have tobacco still in them. One is even unopened. But I want more. The can is half again as large as a 5 gallon bucket. If you happen to have a tin, PM me. Thanks.
-
Mornin' ODT. Sorry, don't have any cans, tins, etc., have a whole bag full of lids, though. I use them for target practice. Nothing more fullfilling that plugging a 0.45 cal. hollowpoint right through the middle of those flimsy metal lids. 'biggun'

WELCOME!!!
Make your way over to the June 2007 HOF group. There are several newbs over there. Introduce yourself and sign roll call. That is your word that you will not use tobacco TODAY. Repeat that every day and you will be set. Your word is good right?

Back to observations for me......noticed this morning that my lower lip on the inside feels very smooth to my tongue.......hmmmm...... always felt like dried and cracked clay before.......thanks for all the positives that u folks have said to me here....here is a little of my story on my quit so far and why it is working.....i realized two or more years ago that this was a nasty habit and i must quit.....i always let the other voice in my head obscure/drown out the logical/obvious reasons to quit....and so the worm dirt known as copenhagen continued to go in my lip....as my sons get older, going into sam's or costco to get my roll of 10 cans on mondays became a struggle between wanting to be alive as long as possible for them and my own selfish need to put that shit in my lip......i'm sure over the last coupla months, people probably thought i was acting strange while i stood there in the store wrestling mentally with myself over whether to buy my nic fix or not.....so over the last 8 months or so, occasionally when i craved a dip, instead i ate sunflower seeds, a starburst candy (if you bite it in half and place it in your lip kinda like dip it will last a while and give you flavor) in other words setting up my eventual quit by denying myself the dip more and more......my thinking is like weight training, build my resolve a little at the time.....it's never a good time to quit....so says your nic addicted mind.....but quit we all must.....so i encourage all of us, newbies, 100+, 200+ to continue to fight it, rant, rave, whatever it takes to be successful at this.....thanks for your time and effort of reading this and i hope in some small way i help someone else........z

I talked to mylilsecret again on the phone tonight, and she dictated the following to me to post on her behalf:
I asked Jim if he would type this out for me. OK now what do I say? I am hurting. I am lost and confused. IÂ’m emotionally and mentally drained. And the bronchitis has taken its toll on me physically. I honestly donÂ’t understand how I am able to stay quit when for so long Copenhagen always seemed like it helped me to cope with the very problem I am dealing with right now. But I am quit as well as not using the fake snuff anymore, though I still have it in case I ever need it. For those of you who think I am looking for a pity partyÂ….I am not, OK? I did however call Jim tonight crying. I feel so lost right now. I try my best to put my problems and fears aside so I may appear strong on the outside, but inside itÂ’s the total opposite. Please know that I have thought about you all and in a way, I hope that I, too, have crossed your mind. As for my son, he will be starting a different medication next Wednesday. This will be his third drug change in the last five weeks. I promise once everything settles down, IÂ’ll go into detail about it. As for my bronchitis, itÂ’s day to day. I was supposed to be in the hospital as of last week, but I just got a permanent sub position for the rest of the school year, so I couldnÂ’t mess that up. We need the income, so I am fighting through it. As for my computer, I have more than enough on my plate right now. IÂ’ll have to worry about that later. A week or so ago, I checked my email at a friendÂ’s house, but she doesnÂ’t know I used to dip. So yes, I guess I am still a bit uneasy talking about the nasty habit I used to do. I used to hide dipping and now it seems IÂ’m still hiding. So if you have emailed me, sorry for not replying back, but thatÂ’s why. I would really like to hear from you. I know this is going to sound totally off the wall, but if you are able to get a message to Jim, please do so. It doesnÂ’t have to be long, just so I know I am in your thoughts, and hopefully that will bring a smile to my face and a bit of warmth to my heart. Janhawke, call me when you get the chance. I didnÂ’t program your number into my phone. I found out some of my sisters and brothers have fallen. It hurts me to know that I wasnÂ’t here to help you in your time of need. Remember that tobacco will not fix what is wrong in our lives. It just puts us back to day one. I shall keep you all in my thoughts.
Hugs, mls aka Nickie

Latest update on our quitsister, mylilsecret (Nickie). She is still not over the bronchitus. She called me this morning to tell me her doctor is admitting her into the hospital this afternoon. As usual, your thoughts and prayers are requested. While I appreciate your notes on the boards and in chat, if you want me to pass on any messages to Nickie, please do it in a PM to me, so that I can easily find them and read them to her when we talk. Thank you.

Slipped a little off your pace, oh,

Just trade in one for the other,
Workin so hard, to make it easier, whoa,
Got to turn, cmon turn this thing around
Right now, hey

Right now,

Right here and now

CLOSE THE DOOR.
In my opinion, itÂ’s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit. After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco. SportDad 1/13/05
When you get there, it is the best feeling.
This is the place!

This will be your quit group. You will need to post Roll call to give us your word that you will not dip / use tobacco today. Please read 2 3 and 4 on this page. (http://z11.invisionfree.com/QS_Xtreme/index.php?showforum=13)
Go to June and tell everyone a bit about yourself. Why your quitting, where your from, age things like that. Be active and ask for help if you need it.
GET THIS SHIT DONE!!!!

Welcome Tom...and congrats on the decision to quit

Cool. I think i have it figured out. I'm 30 years old and live here in Kansas City. I'm an attorney and avid outdoorsman. I chew at work (in my office) in the car, on the tractor, in the deer stand, etc. I have attempted to quit before without much luck. Now i'm ready. It's getting to the point where chewing isn't even fun anymore.
I just ordered a few cans of the mint chew and another (can't remember the name). I hope they arrive soon to start getting something in my mouth for the mental factor. Right now it's gum... Well, glad to be here and really hope this helps, for support if nothing else.

Besides chewing a lot of gum and eating more than I should, I drank lots of water. This not only helps to flush out your system, but it also keeps you occupied by having to go pee every 5 minutes.

the bottom line is this tom -- do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING in your power to keep dip out of your mouth.
if it means that you need to use fake chew -- do it.
if it means you need to eat -- do it.
if it means you need to suck on something -- do it.
you #1 job right now is to GET and STAY quit... you've taken the first HUGE step -- you're on the site. you've introduced yourself and you've taken responsibility for your actions.
let us help -- we know what you're going through.
dipping or no is a decision... you've made your decision today... make the same one tomorrow, and the day after that...
i'm not going to wish you good luck -- luck has nothing to do with a successful quit -- you have to make a decision...
THE DECISION
Quitting dip comes down to one thing... a decision to quit. I can't spell it out any simpler than that. Sure, it's much easier for me to say that today now that I've quit than it would have been on day 1 or day 10, but every day that goes by, I believe it more and more.
I'm not here to tell you that the decision is easy to make because it's certainly not. There are some days when the decision is downright nearly impossible to make. But it's a decision that needs to be made no a daily basis.Â
There are many things in our lives and in our quits that we have no control over. We can't control the weather, we can't control how people view us, we can't control what happens at the office, we can't control whether we are sick. In our quits, we can't control the withdrawal that we go through, we can't control WHAT symptoms we'll experience nor can we control how long those symptoms persist.Â
To look at it that way doesn't look good. But remember... the decision.Â
You can DECIDE to put a dip in.Â
You can DECIDE to NOT put a dip in.Â
You can DECIDE whether you want to continue to be a slave to the can.
You can DECIDE to LIVE your life WITHOUT dip.
I've had conversations with other quitters and cavers. I've been asked what makes me different (than someone who's struggling). The answer is simple... I made my decision. I'm not any stronger, I'm not any better and quite frankly I'm not any different. I'm an addict just like all of you... I made my decision. I made my decision this morning just like I have every morning since July 24th. I'll make a decision tomorrow as well.Â
When you're thinking that quitting isn't possible... when you're thinking that everything is out of your control and you NEED your dip... make a decision.
You're in a place where people can help you once you're made your decision but we can't make it for you. We're here to help.Â
DECIDE to let us help.
DECIDE to not dip today.
DECIDE to live life WITHOUT dip or chew.
DECIDE to live.
This thing is simple -- it's decision time my friend...

Thanks everyone! As i look around this site more and more it seems so familiar. I read the BLUESMAN writeup and it is awesome. I have started to get a little weird already. Just got back from the gas station with seeds, chips, 4 packs of gum. Shit this is already hard. Tomorrow has to be better.
I've told my good friends, girlfriend, and coworkers that i'm quiting. Trying to set the stage so i will look like an asshole if i don't make it. I really want to make it. I will make it.

It's great to have you here Tom. Thanks for letting me know you came over from Mossy Oak. I am thrilled you have made this step. Now we , yes we, have to follow through. It was indeed your decision to quit, but all of here are involved in your success. We will do anything we can to make it happen. We can exchange numbers, personal messages, chat, whatever you need, that's why we are here. Hopefully you explained to those around you that you might not be an enjoyable person for a while. At least until you get the nicotine out of your system. And hopefully they will support you wholey in this. I know we will.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THE GROUP YOU ARE IN
there's nothing that you need to do to "join" a group other than post roll with them. you are in the June 2007 group -- these groups are based on when you will reach the hall of fame (100 days off dip) -- your 100th day will be sometime during the month of june. if you go to the quit groups (http://z11.invisionfree.com/QS_Xtreme/index.php?showforum=2) page you'll see that below each group it says what quit dates are part of that group
PRE HOF GROUP: May 2007 (Pages 1 2 3 ...14 )
Quit Date 1/22/07 - 2/21/07
make sense?
-
friday... the end of a dip free week... the beginning of a dip free weekend!
if you're not quit yet... it could be the beginning of a dip free LIFE!
-
Morning everyone! No dip dreams...yet. And the hour commute to work....no dip. Lots of seeds and strong coffee! Right now i'm feeling good....i'll see how long it lasts.

Problems –
Each one of us faces, creates and/or endures them but seldom do we have the opportunity or fortune to fully rid them from our daily lives. Some problems are small and weÂ’re able to cope and get through it. There are some that ultimately test our faith within ourselves and we tend to reach out to family and friends for strength to help us so we eventually are able to manage through these ordeals.
I was at that point. My quit had still been strong even though I was going through problems with my son and then of course myself. There came a time when I wasn’t able to seek help from the site due to my computer. But I still stayed close to a few friends – KA, Janhawke, Chewy Matt. I still felt strength in not using tobacco.
After not taking care of myself for several weeks I was in the hospital for pneumonia and bronchitis and then BAM! It happened. I wanted Copenhagen. Any time I had ever been hospitalized I would come home to the comfort of knowing IÂ’d have a dip waiting for me. Stupid, huh? but I was really scared. I had been strong all the way up until now and I didnÂ’t know how to deal with this. I didnÂ’t want to go through it alone.
Guess what? Â…. I didnÂ’t have to. You all were with me every step of the way. Thank you for the wonderful gift. No words can express how appreciative I am for what you have done. You have opened your heart and helped my family and me.
I am speechless by your love and concern. I could never thank you enough for the amount of kindness youÂ’ve filled my heart with. I am proud to say itÂ’s day 81 and IÂ’m still quit!
Sincerely,
mls

In school I am teaching my classes about character and what it means. I have a huge board in my room with this message to my students.
Building Character Counts
Trustworthiness - Always keep your promises. Always do what you say you'll do. Be loyal, honest and punctual.
Caring - Ultimately this is seemingly endless - Be kind, Be compassionate and to show that you care. Express gratitude. Always try your best to forgive others. Remember to help others in need.
Citizenship - Do your share to make your community better. Cooperate and be a good neighbor. Protect the environment.
Responsibility - Persevere: keep on trying. Always do your best. Use self control and be self disciplined. Think before you act - consider the consequences. Be accountable for your choices.
Fairness - Play by the rules. Be open-minded; listen to others. Don't take advantage or blame others carelessly.
Respect - Treat others and yourself with respect. Be tolerant of differences. Use good manners. Be considerate of the feelings of others. Deal peacefully with anger, insults and disagreements.
I wanted to share this with you because this is not always taught to the next generation. Quite often it's forgotten through our daily routines and hectic schedules. We too must remember about character and what it means.

I had an interesting weekend. Hit day 200 on Easter Sunday... tell me that doesn't scream coincidence. Spent Sunday and Most of today playing Dr. Angus. GF has an abcessed tooth that got infected. Saturday it was sore, Sunday she was begging me to take her to the hospital. And last night into this morning she swore that she was only a few hours away from dying. While I don't deny the fact that it was bad (she started looking like a chipmunk), I still find it amusing how a few Vicodins and some antibiotics makes people forget just how silly they were acting a few short hours ago.
Anyways, I share this with you because over 200 days ago I would of spent it with a dip of chew in... thinking that it was somehow helping. Now, as I look back, I had myself fooled pretty good. To all those lurking and thinking about quitting, take a long hard look at the situations you tell yourself you "need" a dip of chew. I challenge you to find 1 time it actually did something beneficial for you. In the end you'll begin to realize that this addiction has the wool pulled over your eyes. Chew can only help you die faster than you're intended to... nothing more.

I've been down alot lately between Matthew and his meds and me and my bronchitis/pneumonia that I haven't really been umm, let's say as cheery as I usually am. My b-day is coming up this month and my best friend knew how much I wanted to see Chris Daughtry in concert. Last week she told me that she bought my ticket as a gift and that we were going. I have never been so starstruck before. I think it's from watching how he has grown from auditions on AI til now with his own band. The CD freakin' rocks! So I knew that I was going to be enjoying the concert. And even through it was almost 50 degrees out in Florida .. yes, Florida in April it's NEVER 50 degrees and my sickness was the worse in had been in a while .. I had the best time ever!!!!!! OMG .. it was sooooooooo good. My camera messed up and I only got a couple of shots but I do have some video.

So I knew that I was going to be enjoying the concert. And even through it was almost 50 degrees out in Florida .. yes, Florida in April it's NEVER 50 degrees and my sickness was the worse in had been in a while .. I had the best time ever!!!!!! OMG .. it was sooooooooo good. My camera messed up and I only got a couple of shots but I do have some video.
Sweet deal Nickie ! it's always good to get those little "pick-me-ups". Glad you had a great time and great to hear from you. Take care and keep us posted on you and your son. God bless.

it's tuesday -- whodey's been quit for a year... how long are YOU off the can?
-
So I got to work this morning and what did I have to do? Work. Can you believe it? The nerve of some companies, expecting employees to work right off the bat in the morning. ;)
Anyhow, got some welding done right off the get go this a.m.. Then noticed a couple of guys tearing down the old buildings across the street from the shop. I decide to go over as one of the buildings is an old house that sat on cinder blocks. Since the backhoe was trashing everything, I wanted to see if I could have these. The backhoe operator nodded his consent, and I started hauling them off. Soon, the second guy came up. He was very quiet and had the "I no speak English" additude...... at first. I laughed it up and soon found out he did indeed speak english. He helped me find a few more bricks and even got up into large dumpster and pulled some out for me. Now comes the reason I am sharing this. As he climbed down from dumpster, I seen it. The can in his back pocket.
GAME ON !!
I told him my story. Showed him my scar. Explained to him the dangers. Hopefully I got my point across. I feel I did as he said thank you in a very genuine and grateful voice.
So how about y'all? Ready to make a difference in someone's life today?Maybe you're thinking about quitting. Maybe you know someone who dips. Courage is a mind set. Set your mind to make a difference.

How does one get their self into a positive frame of mind? I am finding it harder and harder to stay positive about certain things.
It's like I take a few steps forward only to end up taking 5 steps back.
I guess I just need some encouragement.
When any of you are dealing with alot of pressure and stress for several months, what gives you your mojo back?

If you ever get the answer to this one, let me know...
Actually, I think I am starting to get it back and I think it comes from focusing on yourself. I don't mean in a selfish way, but get a few more minutes of sleep, take the time at lunch to go for a walk, let the dishes sit one night and veg, eat a little better. Just acknowledge that you can best be helpful and decent to others when you are taking care of your own basic needs also. It's like what they tell you on an air palne. Get your mask on first because if you don't, you may both pass out (or worse).

My kids and GOD.
December of 2005 was not a good month for me as you know. And though going into the surgery itself wasn't scary or nerve wrecking for me, the aftermath was. I was another person. I was stressed because of a sadistic nurse. I was stressed because I could not do for my family. I was stressed because I felt deformed. I knew in my mind that now I would stared at as something different. I mean, sure, I've always been butt ugly (I have to keep my humor) but now I was completely different. Once I started going into public, I could feel the stares. I could hear the whispers.
My kids gave me unconditional love through all this. The only thing that matter to them was when would daddy be able to get in the middle of the floor and play with them again. They accepted the differences and I came to the realization that I can only control so much. That which is out of my control, I could no longer fret over. I started living again.
And of course, it goes without saying, God doesn't much care about my looks. ;)
Step back from the stress in your life. Breath. Stress is what you let it be. If it is a burden, make it not so. Treat the stress like you have dip, kick it to the curb.
And always remember, we are here, even if it's just to listen to a rant.

Great Friday morning quitters !!
-
friday morning -- the beginning of another dip free weekend... or perhaps if you haven't quit, the beginning of a dip free life -- you decide!
-
I was so scared to quit. Once you truly commit, make peace w/the process. Detox can be tolerable if you let it. Don't fight the cravings! Outsmart the triggers.
-
It's MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY !! Wake up you bunch of quitters !!!

joined today- any suggestions?
Welcome, and congratulations on the wisest decision you'll ever make. You'll meet some of the finest friends that you'll ever come to know,
the ones that will save your face and quite possibly your life. Get on over to the August '07 quit group, post up your day one and introduce yourself. Read, post, get involved, check out the whole site, read the Hall of Fame speeches. Above all just don't put that shit in your face anymore. B)
P.S. This ain't gonna be easy, but it's well worth the effort. The next 3 or 4 days are crucial to get the Nico-Bitch outa your system. Hang on and strap yourself in. _
-
Drink lotsa water........'til you're floatin'. Gotta flush the systems clean.
-
Find some kind of oral substitute to keep your mouth busy: Seeds, jerky, gum, candy, fake herbal snuff (if you just have to), food, dog turds, ground up horseshit, whatever the hell it takes to get the job done.

QuittinTime's 4 Step Program: (It's worked so far.)
Step 1: Take that can of copenskodihuskgrizzletimbrshit and open the lid, and dump that shit down the big round white thingy in the the little room in your house, pull the handle on the big round white thingy and watch it spin into oblivion, then tap the can several times to get out all the flakes and flush again, then one more time to get the shit off the rim.
Step 2: Take that empty can of copenskodihuskgrizzletimbrshit outside away from anything flammable and throw it on the ground, stomp the living dog shit out of it, pour some lighter fluid, gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, or some other flammable liquid onto the can. Stand back about 6 to 8 feet and toss a match into the f-u-c-k-e-r and watch it burn........burn baby burn! Do a dance around the worthless son of a b-i-t-c-h. When the flames die down, stomp the shit of the metal lid (if applicable).
Step 3: Bury the remains..........say a few words if you wish.
Step 4: DO NOT BUY, BUM, STEAL, OR GO NEAR THAT SHIT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST LIKE YOUR MAMA TOLD YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE. :angry:

You can do this, quit today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Evening y'all from Boise. Just got in from Challis. Very long and eventful day but I'll go into more detail later. Bottom line, one kid raised his hand at beginning of speech admitting he dipped. When speech and powerpoint were done, I walked out with 5 cans and several promises.
Anyhow, I'll give more details later.
Oh yeah, met Al aka arbcubed, and his girlfriend. Super people !!
Oh yeah, the principle of the school might be joining us here as he is an ex dipper that fights the craves everyday.

General Quit Discussions and Roll Call for 2007
Hi all..
Where to start. My name is Jason, and I have been an addict for 16+ Years. Copenhagen and others but mainly cope. I made a promise to myself that today would be the last day I would ever dip.
I know that this is going to be pure hell (I cant even remember the last time I went a complete day without a fatty tucked in the lip). SO I will be posting on the boards and begging for advice.
Let the games begin!

Absolutely a wise decision. You're in the right place at the right time to make it happen. Strap yourself in, it's gonna be a bumpy road for a while. The results, though, will be well worth the effort. B)

well, tomorrow is the big day. day one. Im not looking forward to this at all, but I guess that is to be expected. God willing i will look back on this on day 100 and feel good.
I've read alot of the things on this site, especially the HOF speeches. Very good motivation; many of those letters could have been written by me (sharing the same stories, feelings).
I am a stong person, but when it comes to the Nic bitch, I am a pussy. I have GOT to beat this straight out.
I'll check in for roll tomorrow folks, hope to see you here

Good Morning. Feeling like crap? Well, you're right on track. It will pass. Just keep focused, keep busy, get a few days under your belt and the sun will start to shine. Bust this one out, get the job done, there's no other option. B)

Umm, actually when I first quit, I took a week off from work. I did only what I had to and then there were times I didn't even do that.
Just remember that quitting is a constant work in progress.
Good Luck!

I grabbed some SMC straight, and believe it or not, it actually does help a little bit.
I also was given an Rx of CHantix, so we'll see how this all plays out. Either way, it's 98 and a wake-up to go!

JLaurel...first, congratulations on deciding to change your life. We think you'll find lots of help here.
First, head over here August 07 (http://z11.invisionfree.com/QS_Xtreme/index.php?showtopic=279), which is where you will find fellow quitters who are in the same stage of their quit as you are.
Secondly, make sure you have destroyed, dumped all the "hidden" cans, ie..the ones in the golf bag, the ones in the glove box, the ones in the sock drawer, etc, etc, etc.
Then, spend some time over on the resources pages of the site. There you will find plenty of informative and motivational pieces of information to help with your focus on your quit.
Finally, hang on, because you are in for a few days of hell. From my own experience, as I sit at over 500 days quit, the primary thing that keeps me on track every day is not ever wanting to go through the first three or four days again.
Good Luck with your quit. We're here for you.

Congratulations jlaurel!
I am very proud that you decided after 3 1/2 years to finally say enough is enough. It took me over 20 years to actually grow up and see that I was destroying myself. Just remember to take each day as it comes. Read as much as you can and ask if you don't know.
Think positive and if it seems like all else has failed .........
remember it hasn't because we as a community are here to support you, one step a time.

coach -- i had a TON of gi problems... completely normal. i have acid reflux and it got MUCH worse for a while after i quit... you may want to go see a doc, but i will tell you that you're not the only one dealing with gi issues during a quit.

OK, the three day vacation is over....any of you guests reading this feel a little ashamed over the holiday weekend when you had to sneak off from the festivities to get a dip or chew? Maybe you disgusted your dear grandmother when she saw you spitting in her flower pot? Did you ruin the family picture because your lip was stuffed full of tobacco? Maybe your nephews and nieces asked their parents why their uncle's breath smelled so bad? Make the decision now, guys...dump the tobacco you currently have in the toilet, flush it, and resolve to quit today! Then register to join the site and post "Day 1" in the brand new September 07 group!

I had a talk with a friend tonight who told me basically posting is like a healing process. I'm healing through writing and when I keep that inside I don't benefit from it and neither do you. Most of the time I think - who to hell cares what I am thinking? Or if I even make sense at whatever topic I'm talking about. When all I need to do is tell my brain to shut up and post with my heart. (laugh)
I usually have alot on my plate at once but there are times I need to realize I am not superwoman .. heck I'm not even close to being supermom or superwife for that matter. I do get an A for trying my absolute best. (I think) My children and husband are MY EVERYTHING! It's when we have bad times somehow someway we tend to take it out on them. It's not our intentions but we hurt the ones we love the most. That's whats been happening lately.
I'm tired of fighting! I'm tired of being unhappy. I'm tired to trying to look or feel "happy" so others won't question me. I'm tired of being happy but then someone stating wow! I thought you were depressed. It's a constant cycle and well I am drained. Next week my youngest son and I go see a specialist and tested for bipolar disorder. Last year, I lied to my doctor about my emotions and moods. I was scared. I didn't want anyone telling me "oh hey .. by the way you're a NUT." But I am so tired of feeling the way I do .. the ups and downs ... constantly in motion .. these moods and emotions sometimes within hours of each other are sufficating me. I need help! I only hope Matthew really doesn't go through the same cycle of moods as I have been going through for years. I can't begin to tell you what it's doing to me and then to feel helpless because of your child. My husband is totally bonkers with it all. He has absolutely no patience.
Bipolar disorder (manic depression) is a psychiatric condition defined by extreme, often inappropriate, and sometimes unpredictable moods. These moods can occur on a spectrum ranging from debilitating depression to unbridled mania. Individuals suffering a bipolar disorder generally experience fluid states of mania, hypomania or what is referred to as a mixed states in concert with clinical depression. These clinical states typically alternate with a normal range of mood, which is termed euthymia. Bipolar disorder can range in severity from a mild annoyance to a serious lifelong disability, and is often difficult to diagnose due to the complex nature of the disorder. It has been suggested that many individuals may go undiagnosed their entire lives.
There are many variations of this disorder. Moods can change quickly (4 or more times in one year) or more slowly. In psychiatric terms, this is called rapid cycling or slow cycling, respectively. Ultrarapid cycling, where moods change several times per week (or even day), is very rare, but certainly a real variant of the disorder. These mood patterns are associated with distress and disruption, and a relatively high risk of suicide.
Bipolar disorder is usually treated with medications and/or therapy or counseling.
Some studies have suggested a significant correlation between creativity and bipolar disorder. The disorder is found in an incredible number of people with creative talents. However, the relationship between the the disorder and creativity is still very unclear.[1][2][3] One study indicated increased striving for, and sometimes obtaining, goals and achievements.[4]
Maybe someone out there knows what I am talking about. Anyways, I wrote this poem tonight and would like to share it with you.
My Disasterous Happily Ever After
The pages within this book maybe torn and grey
but written here are the words to you I'd like to say.
If pain of yesterday only makes us stronger for tomorrow.
then why is it I feel I'm a burden whenever I have sorrow?
At times I see the saddness I bring to your eyes
and by reading these words there should be no surprise.
What if loving me is your downfall, your disaster
and this fairy tale ending isn't really happily ever after?
You need to know you're my world, my absolute treasure
But I'm scared of the day my touch has no pleasure.
Am I making sense with these words that I write?
I'm tired of this war between us. I'm tired of this fight.
Sometimes I want to vanish, to just simply disappear
but the warmth of your smile that's what keeps me here.
So what if loving me is your downfall, your disaster
and this fairy tale ending isn't really happily ever after?
At this moment if you had the chance to do it over again.
Would I still be your love? Could you still call me friend?
Within the pages of our past and present, the future begins to unfold
through the eyes of our children's children our story written shall be told.
Of a sensitive woman who held her feelings and had some doubt
in what the meaning of true love was really all about.
You see, the pages within this book maybe torn and grey
but written here are the words to you I'd like to say.
Remember within this journey we'll always experience great pleasures and terrible disasters
but as long as I'm traveling with you, there'll be fairy tale endings and even happier ever afters.

btw - thanks for the talk chewy!

Nickie, my ex-wife was bipolar. I know what you're going through. Give me a call tomorrow so we can talk about this. It's going to be all right. If you want to call right now, you can....I'll be up for a while.
Jim

Just so you know Nickie, trying your best does indeed make you a supermom. Trying your best is so much more than alot of parents do nowdays. Loving and caring for your family is a great calling and from the sound of it, you answer every day. IMHO.

It has been stated that many of the "moving" minds of society have sucumbed to what is refered to as Bipolar disorder. I will give two examples of brilliant men through the course of history that would have probably been diagnosed with this "disorder". You see, I would look at Bipolar as a "gift" rather than a disorder.
1. Thomas Payne was characterized as an individual who was difficult to get along with but a genius when it came to his "powers" of taking a complex idea and explaining it with such simplicity.
2. Richard Feynman - The most brilliant physicist of our times was also considered somewhat Bipolar. He also did not utter a single word until he was nearly 4 four years old.
I really believe that our society needs to take a better "look" at what we call disorders. I will lean on the Jungian philosophy of psychology to describe "personality" traits as opposed to disorders. Take a look at the 16 personality trait tree that was introduced by Jung and further examined by Myers/Briggs. Use these tests for self understanding rather than pigon holing. If you look into these "traits" long enough you can start to see a correlation between certain traits and disorders.
We must remember the people who set these standards may have a different presecption of reality than those who are lucky enough to be apart of the "culturally" different.
The only reason I bring this up is that my personality trait can be described as INTP. And these people I feel get an unfair shake in today's society.
The ultimate question that should be asked, would be the following:
What are the personality traits of the few and what disorders are linked to that type of trait?
Are disorders defined by people of differing traits and if this is the case then are we doing an injustice to society? By not allowing all traits to show their strenghts?
Just food for thought here, let me know what you all think?

You see, I would look at Bipolar as a "gift" rather than a disorder.
. . . .
Just food for thought here, let me know what you all think?
As someone who lived with a manic-depressive for 8+ years, I can tell you that bipolar disorder is not a "gift". It is a debilitating condition that can disrupt families and lead to tragic outcomes. But with proper medication and counseling, it can be managed these days so that the patient can lead an otherwise perfectly normal life. Sure, some people may be misdiagnosed. And some people have varying degrees of manic-depression. Thankfully, my wife (now ex) was and is able to care for her kids and work as an aid at the local school. Her condition was not as severe as some people's is. Being diagnosed with bipolar disorder does not have to mean your life ends, but rather, if treated correctly, it can open up new horizons for the person who before could not understand why they became so moody and depressed at times, yet so outgoing and full of energy at other times.

And as long as an individual does nothing to harm society or him/her self then these "manic" phases can be used for great advancement and achievement.
Again, here comes the great debate, I feel you need to treat and console the individuals that are on the extremes. People who sit on the fringe of the extremes. The greater question should be, what effects do these prescription drugs have on an individual (both short and long term)?
This is why I'm a strong proponent of further studying and understanding of the human mind through ethical yet unbiased research.

Great Friday morning quitters !!
-
Good Morning Quitters!
chief - right now, To me I feel like it's messy up my life maybe after the right therapy or meds I won't feel so out of control, yanno? But I like the question - who's to say what is normal?
-
Good morning, mls and odt and the rest of you quitters!
-
Good morning all you quitters. :D
MLS, if you find out what "normal" is let me know. _

happy friday quitters! if you're not quit yet, there's no time like RIGHT NOW!

Tell ya what- once you find a cure, let me know. Until then, my wife will stay on the meds unless she wants a divorce. Her "gift" nearly destroyed our marriage a couple of times(the first time was my fault because I believed similarly as you chief and had her get off the meds) and it is always there on the horizon. You got a heart of gold Chief, but deal with these issues long enough, it takes the idealism right out of it.

I hear your words 030507. And from hearing from people like you just strenghtens my resolve and drive to further my education through Nano-technology and Bio-electrical engineering. I really feel if these two new technologies are explored further steps can be made in the areas of human psychology.
I also have taken the drug route for almost 5 months now and I would be in a far darker place than I find myself now. I just feel that the body with the help of nonintrusive technology (i.e. non prescription drugs) can greatly benefit in understanding these "disorders/traits", whatever you wish to call them.
Call it my next purpose in life.

THE DECISION
Quitting dip comes down to one thing... a decision to quit. I can't spell it out any simpler than that. Sure, it's much easier for me to say that today now that I've quit than it would have been on day 1 or day 10, but every day that goes by, I believe it more and more.
I'm not here to tell you that the decision is easy to make because it's certainly not. There are some days when the decision is downright nearly impossible to make. But it's a decision that needs to be made no a daily basis.
There are many things in our lives and in our quits that we have no control over. We can't control the weather, we can't control how people view us, we can't control what happens at the office, we can't control whether we are sick. In our quits, we can't control the withdrawal that we go through, we can't control WHAT symptoms we'll experience nor can we control how long those symptoms persist.
To look at it that way doesn't look good. But remember... the decision.
You can DECIDE to put a dip in.
You can DECIDE to NOT put a dip in.
You can DECIDE whether you want to continue to be a slave to the can.
You can DECIDE to LIVE your life WITHOUT dip.
I've had conversations with other quitters and cavers. I've been asked what makes me different (than someone who's struggling). The answer is simple... I made my decision. I'm not any stronger, I'm not any better and quite frankly I'm not any different. I'm an addict just like all of you... I made my decision. I made my decision this morning just like I have every morning since July 24th. I'll make a decision tomorrow as well.
When you're thinking that quitting isn't possible... when you're thinking that everything is out of your control and you NEED your dip... make a decision.
You're in a place where people can help you once you're made your decision but we can't make it for you. We're here to help.
DECIDE to let us help.
DECIDE to not dip today.
DECIDE to live life WITHOUT dip or chew.
DECIDE to live.
This thing is simple -- it's decision time my friend...

I agree, 030507...I suppose only those of us that have bipolar or have lived with someone who has it can truly understand what it is, just like only a dip addict can understand what another dip addict is going through.

Proud Quitter
When I was seven - I quit Girl Scouts. I didn't like the outfit.
When I was ten - I quit Chorus. My father told me I couldn't sing.
When I was fifteen - I quit Dynamics tryouts. ( Dance Competition ) I didn't believe I would make it anyway.
When I was nineteen - I quit dreaming of becoming a famous writer. I was brainwashed into thinking I'd amount to nothing.
When I was twenty-four - I quit talking to my father. Even though I dislike him, I haven't seen/talked to him in twelve years.
When I was thirty-six - I quit smokeless tobacco. - I finally wanted to quit something that I could be proud of.
Why not be a proud quitter? Say No to Tobacco ... Today!

MLS,
Girls Scouts suck, it's all about selling cookies nowadays anyway.
Sing your heart out, as loud as you want, if it sounds good to you, that's all that matters. (Just have some earplugs ready for innocent bystanders.) :)
I can't dance, but I bet you can.
You are a talented writer, persue it.
Call your Dad, not for his benefit, for yours.
And yes, you should be proud of yourself. :D

chewie's tip of the day
"Just one won't hurt"- don't believe it! Just one is enough to send you plummeting back to the bottom of the mountain that you have worked so hard to climb.
-
The weekend is coming up...does everyone have a plan in place for when craves come up? 'help' 'Cause we sure don't want to come back on Monday and find out someone has caved to their addiction. 'finger point' That would just ruin our whole week! 'impatient'
-
where is everyone?
-
where is everyone?
Right here 'arse'
-
does everyone have a plan in place for when craves come up?
Yes.
1. Don't dip.
2. If crave prevails, punch self in balls.
3. If that doesn't work, hang around smokers for second hand buzz (smokin' sister in law).
Main thing: don't put anything in mouth except food, cola and bacardi!!!

Killerattorney - Jim,
If you were ever my friend read ALL of this!
I should have known from the first incident early on in our friendship that something was wrong.
It was then that you went off on me and your friends about them talking to me and seeing photos
of me. Because of that, I pushed you away a bit but then I felt bad. Maybe he was just caught up
in the moment with being a friend and didn't want to see me get hurt. Yes, you have been there
for me through my quit. I am not denying that. The fact is you got too close as I said before. I
needed to step back because I felt like you wanted more that I could give.
You wrote I Love You in one of your letters .. which you said you didn't mean to do. What did
you expect me to do after that. I freaked if you remember. As time went on you wanted more time,
more chat, more phone calls ... I felt like I was letting you down if I couldn't do something you
wanted. I asked you to not contact me because right now at this moment, I can't take this kind of
pressure .. it's just too much!
And even after the I love you incident you pushed .. you pushed and asked if we could maybe
possibly take "our friendship to the next level" and talk intimately. You already knew I was pushing
away from you then so why even freakin' ask me that type of question?
You make me want to never come back to either freakin' site.
I'm not doing anything here that's ohhhh soooo absolutely wonderful so I should just be on my way.
I'm am not sure if you understand but your actions make a reaction .. well this is it! Just STOP! You
said people have come to you and said to forget about me .. that you misjudged me! You said
that maybe I even used you. At first I cried really long and hard about it then I said FUCK IT .. you
fucking do what ever the hell you want to do or think! You are a grown adult. I asked you politely
to stop contacting me yet that first week you called me every fucking day sometimes 3 to 4 times
then you pm'ed me and yahoo msg'ed me to the point that I blocked you. I had at one time up to
17 voicemails saved from you. I got Myspace Tracker and as of 5/22/06 you've visited my profile
62 times. Not even my best friend Jen, who leaves me comments has visited my page that much.
Her visits have totalled 8. Compared to freakin' 62 .. hmm .. and my page hasn't changed any.
So? .. Why look at it so much? You've begged and pleaded to be friends with me to the point that
it's sickening. That you'll do anything to be my friend again. Jim, don't you see friendship isn't like
that? You shouldn't have to beg for it. I'm not worth it ok. I've never been worth it. I don't amount to
anything other than plain ole' ass dogshit. And nobody wants dogshit. So stop it! Just stop all this.
The pm tonight was the last straw. I printed it out and it was 4 fucking pages long!
FOUR! I just don't know how to tell you other than this .. you are overpowering, non trusting self-centered
individual. Tonight in the chatroom you said you didn't know why I left after I came in and saw you.
SEE! It's always about YOU! I didn't leave because of you. It was storming here and the power
went out for about 10 minutes. Please stop doing this to yourself! Don't call me, .. don't pm me,
don't email me, don't look at myspace for me .. I'm NOT going to be there. I simply can't.
You've pushed me to the point that I had to write this to get it out there. Leave Me Alone! Ok?
If I have to I'll change my cell and my home number. I'll leave this site.
I want you to stay quit and I want to stay quit.

For the record, I dispute the most serious allegations in the preceding post and the one that follows this one. I donÂ’t know whether itÂ’s an intentional misrepresentation of the facts or if she truly believes these false statements, but regardless, I assure you I have not done most of what she said I did. One of the moderators has asked me not to comment on these posts, yet two of them so far have refused to delete the posts. IÂ’ll try to respect their wishes, since I do not wish to be banned from this site, as long as there are no further comments by anyone on these boards about these posts. Besides, this is something that should have never been discussed on public boards like this. IÂ’m going to try to be more mature and just let the matter drop.

Morning quitters ! Hope y'all have a great weekend !!
Not quit yet yet? Well quit debating it and quit tobacco !!

chewie's tip of the day
"Just one won't hurt"- don't believe it! Just one is enough to send you plummeting back to the bottom of the mountain that you have worked so hard to climb.
Fellow Memebers of KTC,
This is some of the best advice that has been posted on this site recently. This really hits me because I chose to throw away 96 days because I felt that one would not hurt, I was sadly mistaken. No personal problems will ever be a good reason to quit quitting...
Truthfully I will say that after taking one dip the first 48 hours have not been as bad as the first time I went through the first three days. Maybe its because I know what to expect. That still does not make things any better becuase in the mission statement posted on this site it states to refrain from all tobacco products. I agree with this mission statement. Just abstain from tobacco period. When it comes down to it, abstanence is all you will ever have and need.
I hope all of you considering a cave will read this as a reminder and it will strenghten your resolve and desire to quit. I have cut and pasted this note not only for your benefit but for mine as well.
Do not be like me, do not throw away a single day. Everyday that you are quit you will feel stronger and thus the positive cycle will build upon itself.
I will allow this site to help me and all I ask is that you will do the same.
Derek
Quitters lets get this shit done.

I apologize for using this quit thread for something other than getting people to quit or saying good morning but I honestly had no other choice in my opinion.
I hope that I can be forgiven.

I quit chewing Feb 3rd of this year through a local smoking quit group. I was the first chewer my instructor could remember in her 15 years of leading the group. I'm a beanpole type guy, and have been putting on a bit of a beer belly recently, which somehow led me to this sight. Anyways, I just wanted to congratulate everybody on their choice to quit and for realizing it's not something that you want to go at alone.
I'd tried to quit many times before, but it was always because my girlfriend wanted me to quit. I thought I could quit for her, but I couldn't. When I joined a support group, I said that my major reason to quit was for her. After much personal reflection, I realized I was finally at a point where I wanted to quit for me. Also, I had always made excuses for why I chewed: my dad smoked when I was a kid, my friends chewed in high school. A huge change in thinking that helped me quit was accepting responsibility for the choice to chew and accepting responsibility for the choice to quit.
Do it for you. If you want to quit for your wife, your girlfriend/boyfriend, whatever, forget them. You must care for yourself first. Be self-centered. People who truly care for you will appreciate your choice. By caring for yourself, you're caring for those who love you.

Good morning, quitters!

When I joined a support group, I said that my major reason to quit was for her. After much personal reflection, I realized I was finally at a point where I wanted to quit for me. Also, I had always made excuses for why I chewed: my dad smoked when I was a kid, my friends chewed in high school. A huge change in thinking that helped me quit was accepting responsibility for the choice to chew and accepting responsibility for the choice to quit.
Do it for you. If you want to quit for your wife, your girlfriend/boyfriend, whatever, forget them. You must care for yourself first. Be self-centered. People who truly care for you will appreciate your choice. By caring for yourself, you're caring for those who love you.
You're absolutely correct. Quitting is something you HAVE to do for yourself. Many others can reap the benefits, but it HAS to be for oneself. Glad to hear you made the choice to be free of chew. And support is indeed a large part of it.
You will find a wide range of quitters here. From a few days quit to many hundred days. But we all come here for one thing. Support. Either to seek it or to lend it. And you are more than welcome to join our family.

Morning Quitters !!
What? Your not quit but only thinking about it? Well there's your proof that you NEED to be quit !! And since you're here, might as well start NOW !!

chewie's tip of the day
Remember: I don't miss dipping, it was just a habit.
-
I quit chewing Feb 3rd of this year through a local smoking quit group. I was the first chewer my instructor could remember in her 15 years of leading the group. I'm a beanpole type guy, and have been putting on a bit of a beer belly recently, which somehow led me to this sight. Anyways, I just wanted to congratulate everybody on their choice to quit and for realizing it's not something that you want to go at alone.

Couldnt have said it better man! Welcome to the group and just work on today. The great thing about quitting is you get to kill the nic-bitch everyday and pay her back for all the crap she has caused over the years!!
you- 'chain' -nicotine

Welcome, Smokeyg! As I'm sure you realize by now, you've made a great decision in quitting chewing. Feel free to look all around the site and read the articles, Hall of Fame speeches, and the boards. Your quit group is May 2007, because it is made up of people who quit around the same time as you and reached 100 days being quit (known around here as reaching the Hall of Fame) in May of this year. You should learn about posting roll call when you get a chance. But you're still welcome to post in any of the quit groups or other boards on the site, including the cafe, which is generally a place to encourage new guests to quit using tobacco and join us in our fight about this addiction. Congratulations on your success so far!

I see lurkers :ph43r:
C'mon in ...... be a quitter. :D

Don't forget to check out the HOF speeches while you're lookiing around the site. You'll find that there are all kinds of people who are successfully battling their addictions to tobacco, even people like YOU! Two new speeches by Sherriff and Eddykeller have just been posted.

Could someone please tell me where to find the roll call. I want to quit, and am unsure how to use this thing????ranburglar@aol.com (http://mailto:ranburglar@aol.com)

chewie's tip of the day
My KillTheCan motto is: I own my own quit. One dip will kill it. This quit is something I now own. I possess it as the nicobitch once possessed me.
-
Morning all!!
-
yet two of them so far have refused to delete the posts. IÂ’ll try to respect their wishes, since I do not wish to be banned from this site
Please tell me you are kidding here. You really think we are going to go around deleting posts? You really think a little spat with anyone and making comments about it would get you banned? You have been around long enough to know better on both accounts. This is crap and you know it.
Sorry. Couldn't resist. Both these fucking things are against everything this site stands for.

Killerattorney - Jim,
If you were ever my friend read ALL of this!
I should have known from the first incident early on in our friendship that something was wrong.
It was then that you went off on me and your friends about them talking to me and seeing photos
of me. Because of that, I pushed you away a bit but then I felt bad. Maybe he was just caught up
in the moment with being a friend and didn't want to see me get hurt. Yes, you have been there
for me through my quit. I am not denying that. The fact is you got too close as I said before. I
needed to step back because I felt like you wanted more that I could give.
You wrote I Love You in one of your letters .. which you said you didn't mean to do. What did
you expect me to do after that. I freaked if you remember. As time went on you wanted more time,
more chat, more phone calls ... I felt like I was letting you down if I couldn't do something you
wanted. I asked you to not contact me because right now at this moment, I can't take this kind of
pressure .. it's just too much!
And even after the I love you incident you pushed .. you pushed and asked if we could maybe
possibly take "our friendship to the next level" and talk intimately. You already knew I was pushing
away from you then so why even freakin' ask me that type of question?
You make me want to never come back to either freakin' site.
I'm not doing anything here that's ohhhh soooo absolutely wonderful so I should just be on my way.
I'm am not sure if you understand but your actions make a reaction .. well this is it! Just STOP! You
said people have come to you and said to forget about me .. that you misjudged me! You said
that maybe I even used you. At first I cried really long and hard about it then I said FUCK IT .. you
fucking do what ever the hell you want to do or think! You are a grown adult. I asked you politely
to stop contacting me yet that first week you called me every fucking day sometimes 3 to 4 times
then you pm'ed me and yahoo msg'ed me to the point that I blocked you. I had at one time up to
17 voicemails saved from you. I got Myspace Tracker and as of 5/22/06 you've visited my profile
62 times. Not even my best friend Jen, who leaves me comments has visited my page that much.
Her visits have totalled 8. Compared to freakin' 62 .. hmm .. and my page hasn't changed any.
So? .. Why look at it so much? You've begged and pleaded to be friends with me to the point that
it's sickening. That you'll do anything to be my friend again. Jim, don't you see friendship isn't like
that? You shouldn't have to beg for it. I'm not worth it ok. I've never been worth it. I don't amount to
anything other than plain ole' ass dogshit. And nobody wants dogshit. So stop it! Just stop all this.
The pm tonight was the last straw. I printed it out and it was 4 fucking pages long!
FOUR! I just don't know how to tell you other than this .. you are overpowering, non trusting self-centered
individual. Tonight in the chatroom you said you didn't know why I left after I came in and saw you.
SEE! It's always about YOU! I didn't leave because of you. It was storming here and the power
went out for about 10 minutes. Please stop doing this to yourself! Don't call me, .. don't pm me,
don't email me, don't look at myspace for me .. I'm NOT going to be there. I simply can't.
You've pushed me to the point that I had to write this to get it out there. Leave Me Alone! Ok?
If I have to I'll change my cell and my home number. I'll leave this site.
I want you to stay quit and I want to stay quit.
now I check and you send me a msg'ed that someone in my group caved and they don't go to QSX .. (so that narrows it down) for me to call you and you'll tell me ... ???? Just tell me Jim .. why do I have to call you .. just fucking tell me ..
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ..
if they said it was alright to tell me like you said .. then why not just tell me .. I am too fucking emotional ,,, I can't take you doing this shit ..
just like this crave you had for a few days .. and my son wasn't doing very well at all .. I didn't call you and you freakin' went off on me basically tellin' me that you weer there for me but I wasn't there for you .. You have other resources I am NOT THE ONLY PERSON YOU CAN TALK TO .. but you said .. that I WAS the only person that could get you not to cave. If you CAVE it's not MY fault. Do you see how you come across ...?? why can't you see that? why? I have to go I feel like I am going to be sick .... Just stop it .. pm me whoever caved .. then leave me to FUCK ALONE! ... Pronto!
goo afternoon quitters! A great day to be quit indeed...

I see this popped back up...

Many times the fear of the craves is a lot worse than the reality. With the help of the fellow QSXers, I will beat this demon. You can too!
-
welcome quitters... it's a great day to be done with dip!!!
-
If those cravings arise, they WILL GO AWAY. If you just ride it through, you'll make it through. THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH...it gets easier....really ;)
-
Don't think of monday's as the start of another dreaded workweek anymore... now they are the start of another DIP FREE week!

THE DECISION
Quitting dip comes down to one thing... a decision to quit. I can't spell it out any simpler than that. Sure, it's much easier for me to say that today now that I've quit than it would have been on day 1 or day 10, but every day that goes by, I believe it more and more.
I'm not here to tell you that the decision is easy to make because it's certainly not. There are some days when the decision is downright nearly impossible to make. But it's a decision that needs to be made no a daily basis.
There are many things in our lives and in our quits that we have no control over. We can't control the weather, we can't control how people view us, we can't control what happens at the office, we can't control whether we are sick. In our quits, we can't control the withdrawal that we go through, we can't control WHAT symptoms we'll experience nor can we control how long those symptoms persist.
To look at it that way doesn't look good. But remember... the decision.
You can DECIDE to put a dip in.
You can DECIDE to NOT put a dip in.
You can DECIDE whether you want to continue to be a slave to the can.
You can DECIDE to LIVE your life WITHOUT dip.
I've had conversations with other quitters and cavers. I've been asked what makes me different (than someone who's struggling). The answer is simple... I made my decision. I'm not any stronger, I'm not any better and quite frankly I'm not any different. I'm an addict just like all of you... I made my decision. I made my decision this morning just like I have every morning since July 24th. I'll make a decision tomorrow as well.
When you're thinking that quitting isn't possible... when you're thinking that everything is out of your control and you NEED your dip... make a decision.
You're in a place where people can help you once you're made your decision but we can't make it for you. We're here to help.
DECIDE to let us help.
DECIDE to not dip today.
DECIDE to live life WITHOUT dip or chew.
DECIDE to live.
This thing is simple -- it's decision time my friend...

take the step!
-
Don't quit quitting until you quit.
-
Post roll everyday, exercise, drink plenty of H2O, ask for help and always stay positive. Make sure you change your old habits. Celebrate Milestones!
-
Can't say it enough, 1 day at a time. We are addicts and we can get through this. Together!
-
Question of the day: What decision could you make that has the potential to improve your looks, raise your self-esteem, save you money and potentially save your life? Anyone?
Answer: Flush your can and quit using smokeless tobacco....duh! 'Crazy'
-
This is one of the hardest things I have ever done, but that just means that it is really worth doing!
-
Post for help whenever and as often as you need it. The wonderful people here will make all the difference between your failure and your success!!
-
this quitting thing is pretty cool... i think i'll stick with it another day!
-
you are on this site, you want to quit dipping. Quit today. You may not have time tomorrow.
-
Nobody ever died from quitting dipping. It's tough but it's do-able. You won't believe any of us until you do it for yourself. And then see how great it feels.
-
Quitting dipping is a journey that lasts a lifetime. The road is rough but the rewards are many.
-
You can do this, quit today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QuittinTime's 4 Step Program: (It's worked so far.)
Step 1: Take that can of copenskodihuskgrizzletimbrshit and open the lid, and dump that shit down the big round white thingy in the the little room in your house, pull the handle on the big round white thingy and watch it spin into oblivion, then tap the can several times to get out all the flakes and flush again, then one more time to get the shit off the rim.
Step 2: Take that empty can of copenskodihuskgrizzletimbrshit outside away from anything flammable and throw it on the ground, stomp the living dog shit out of it, pour some lighter fluid, gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, or some other flammable liquid onto the can. Stand back about 6 to 8 feet and toss a match into the f-u-c-k-e-r and watch it burn........burn baby burn! Do a dance around the worthless son of a b-i-t-c-h. When the flames die down, stomp the shit of the metal lid (if applicable).
Step 3: Bury the remains..........say a few words if you wish.
Step 4: DO NOT BUY, BUM, STEAL, OR GO NEAR THAT SHIT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST LIKE YOUR MAMA TOLD YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE. :angry:

Proud Quitter
When I was seven - I quit Girl Scouts. I didn't like the outfit.
When I was ten - I quit Chorus. My father told me I couldn't sing.
When I was fifteen - I quit Dynamics tryouts. ( Dance Competition ) I didn't believe I would make it anyway.
When I was nineteen - I quit dreaming of becoming a famous writer. I was brainwashed into thinking I'd amount to nothing.
When I was twenty-four - I quit talking to my father. Even though I dislike him, I haven't seen/talked to him in twelve years.
When I was thirty-six - I quit smokeless tobacco. - I finally wanted to quit something that I could be proud of.
Why not be a proud quitter? Say No to Tobacco ... Today!
I just wanted to bump this up for new quitters!
Now ... is your time!

possibly take "our friendship to the next level" and talk intimately. You already knew I was pushing
away from you then so why even freakin' ask me that type of question?
You make me want to never come back to either freakin' site.
I'm not doing anything here that's ohhhh soooo absolutely wonderful so I should just be on my way.
I'm am not sure if you understand but your actions make a reaction .. well this is it! Just STOP! You
said people have come to you and said to forget about me .. that you misjudged me! You said
that maybe I even used you. At first I cried really long and hard about it then I said FUCK IT .. you
fucking do what ever the hell you want to do or think! You are a grown adult. I asked you politely
to stop contacting me yet that first week you called me every fucking day sometimes 3 to 4 times
then you pm'ed me and yahoo msg'ed me to the point that I blocked you. I had at one time up to
17 voicemails saved from you. I got Myspace Tracker and as of 5/22/06 you've visited my profile
62 times. Not even my best friend Jen, who leaves me comments has visited my page that much.
Her visits have totalled 8. Compared to freakin' 62 .. hmm .. and my page hasn't changed any.
So? .. Why look at it so much? You've begged and pleaded to be friends with me to the point that
it's sickening. That you'll do anything to be my friend again. Jim, don't you see friendship isn't like
that? You shouldn't have to beg for it. I'm not worth it ok. I've never been worth it. I don't amount to
anything other than plain ole' ass dogshit. And nobody wants dogshit. So stop it! Just stop all this.
The pm tonight was the last straw. I printed it out and it was 4 fucking pages long!
FOUR! I just don't know how to tell you other than this .. you are overpowering, non trusting self-centered
individual. Tonight in the chatroom you said you didn't know why I left after I came in and saw you.
SEE! It's always about YOU! I didn't leave because of you. It was storming here and the power
went out for about 10 minutes. Please stop doing this to yourself! Don't call me, .. don't pm me,
don't email me, don't look at myspace for me .. I'm NOT going to be there. I simply can't.
You've pushed me to the point that I had to write this to get it out there. Leave Me Alone! Ok?
If I have to I'll change my cell and my home number. I'll leave this site.
I want you to stay quit and I want to stay quit.
now I check and you send me a msg'ed that someone in my group caved and they don't go to QSX .. (so that narrows it down) for me to call you and you'll tell me ... ???? Just tell me Jim .. why do I have to call you .. just fucking tell me ..
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ..
if they said it was alright to tell me like you said .. then why not just tell me .. I am too fucking emotional ,,, I can't take you doing this shit ..
just like this crave you had for a few days .. and my son wasn't doing very well at all .. I didn't call you and you freakin' went off on me basically tellin' me that you weer there for me but I wasn't there for you .. You have other resources I am NOT THE ONLY PERSON YOU CAN TALK TO .. but you said .. that I WAS the only person that could get you not to cave. If you CAVE it's not MY fault. Do you see how you come across ...?? why can't you see that? why? I have to go I feel like I am going to be sick .... Just stop it .. pm me whoever caved .. then leave me to FUCK ALONE! ... Pronto!
goo afternoon quitters! A great day to be quit indeed...

I need to RANT! The past couple of days has been mixed emotions. Some of you have known that my son and I were waiting to go to a specialist. I'm too freakin' tired to type it all out but basically my husband took a new job the end of May. Better oppurtunities - more money - less work stress etc! Anyways - Cobra is $1455.00 to keep insurance up until July 30th. So from May 22nd to July 30th - 1500 bucks. ????? Holyaaaaflac .... We elected to take it but it takes 3 to 4 weeks to get everything flowing so to speak. If the Doctor calls our insurance now - it states we are "pending". The specialist I am assuming doesn't accept that sort of "excuse". I mean the receptionist was extremely nice but extremely nice doesn't let me and my son converse with the Doctor. Our appointment that I made the beginning of April was June 12th - that was the soonest he could get us in. He is the only specialist around here (and he's 45 miles away at that) that sees adolescent and adult patients. Otherwise my son and I would have to see two different specialists. I could have seen the Doctor yesterday if I wanted to pay the 250.00 office visit upfront and have Cobra reimburse me when we are not "pending". Mind you, that would have been 250.00 for my son and another 250.00 for me. I was so devasted. Why? She made me another appointment for August 17th. My husband will have his new insurance by then but if I don't elect Cobra and pay the $1500 premium now it states that other insurance companies might have us wait up to a year with pre-exisiting conditions. I feel like I am just fucked all around. Meanwhile my son and I aren't getting the medication or care that we need. It just sucks.
Yet on the other hand .. I applied for a job at the elementary school I worked for this year and they hired me for the clinic - health aide. I went to college and have my license for that. So that is a plus. I've got to think postive .. just all the negative shit keeps adding up. Think postive Nick. Think positive .. right? I've thought about Copenhagen the past two days. I guess craves maybe? I dunno .. what the hell is a crave? If I only knew now what I didn't know at 14 ... picking up that freakin' can and telling myself .. this is nothing - I can quit at anytime. Please don't fool yourself into thinking that it's ok to dip to cope. It's not. Though I admit today in my head for some reason - that's what I thought .. Go ahead, Nick .. everything is so crappy why not just give up .... give in! Just screw it! Then the same mentality crept in "If anyone needs Copenhagen it's me .. Just do it .. you can quit later when you're feeling better." .... STOP!
And then I did something I had never done before. I called my 13 year old and I said, Honey .. Do you care if Mommy got some Copenhagen and started dipping again? I could hear the fear in my teenage son's voice .. Mom, please don't - I love you! After that I was better! I was ok. I had made it through and my son had helped me.
To those of you new in your quit or thinking about it. You see, I am on Day 161 and I still have to at times not only take it day by day .. but hour by hour. Believe me though, it does get easier and it's so much better. If you need help - ask for it. Even if it comes from your teenage son or daughter, yes .. the ones with the know it all attitude. (maybe ... just maybe they do know some things)
Hang in there - I am!

Nickie - keep it up. I told my 14 year old that toda was day 99 (this was yesterday) and he was so happy, little punk only cares about himself, right? Sometimes your strength comes from a distance, sometimes it comes from right next door.

chewie's tip of the day
The stress making you reach for a dip is the withdrawal pangs that begin the moment you throw away your can, NOT your life or circumstances. Quitting actually LESSENS your stress.

Please Take The Time To Read!
Ohhh so much that has happened in the past few days. I feel so tense. I need a massage. (laugh) I just want to get on the soapbox if I could for a moment. A very special thank you goes out to Curtis aka ODT. I applaud you for stepping up to the plate and informing our generation and the generations to come about the dangers of tobacco and how addictive nicotine truly is. This is a bit lengthy but if you have children (no matter what age) it's really worth reading!
Note: I retrieved this infomation from our family's new health insurance website.
April 5, 2006 marks the eleventh annual Kick Butts Day celebration. No, this day is not about playground fights or kung-fu movie marathons; instead it is about raising awareness, on a national level, of the risks and concerns associated with children and smoking and the Tobacco Industry. According to the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids (2005), nearly all first-time use of tobacco occurs before high school graduation. Additionally, it has been shown that the younger a person begins to smoke, the more likely they are to become an adult smoker.
Kick Butts Day is the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids'annual celebration of youth advocacy, leadership, and activism. The Kick Butts Day organization aims to get youth all over the country involved in educating, rallying, and advocating their peers to start fighting back against the marketing, merchandising, and social pressures that are persuading the nation's youth to start using tobacco. Everyone is welcome; there are hundreds of opportunities for a child or parent to take action and get involved in your community and across the country.
Please, start talking to your children about tobacco and the risks involved with its use. You don't have to wait until April 5th - there is no time like the present to start this journey. Children are faced with so many social, peer, and academic pressures, the last thing they need is to find release through tobacco. Support them, it is not an easy road they will travel, but if you start now - the life hurdles later will be easier. Start Kicking Butts today!
The following is an article written and reprinted with the permission of KidsHealth, an organization dedicated to helping parents and children lead healthy, happy, and full lives through wellness and education. Spend some time reading this material with your child or children. Use it as a starting point to get the conversations about tobacco and other substance abuse rolling. It's never easy to imagine our babies growing up and facing the dangers of the world, but if we arm them with education and awareness we can rest easier that they will never be alone.

Talking to Your Child About Smoking and Smokeless Tobacco
Advertisers spend billions of dollars each year trying to get children to smoke. Talking to your kids honestly, clearly, and convincingly about the dangers of tobacco and nicotine addiction is an essential part of good parenting. To be blunt: your words can save their lives. Read this article to find out how.
Why Do I Need to Talk to My Child About Tobacco?
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, smoking is the chief cause of preventable deaths in the United States. At the same time, however, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that each day more than 3,000 kids become regular smokers and that about one third of these children will eventually die a "smoker's death" from cancer, heart disease, or lung disease.
And the danger isn't just smoking cigarettes. Smokeless tobacco (chewing or spit tobacco) can also lead to nicotine addiction, oral cancer, gum disease, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks. Despite these dangers, about 16% of U.S. high school boys in grades 9 to 12 use smokeless tobacco, with rates rising as high as 35% in some western states.
Nicotine affects mood as well as the heart, lungs, stomach, and nervous system. Short-term effects of smoking include coughing and throat irritation. Over time, more serious conditions may develop, including increases in heart rate and blood pressure. Smoking also leads to bronchitis and emphysema and increases the risk of heart attacks.
Finally, numerous studies indicate that young smokers are more likely to experiment with marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or other illicit drugs.
About 90% of today's adult smokers started as children, so it's important that you take the opportunity to talk to your kid about smoking before she starts. Older children who haven't started to smoke are less likely to begin smoking.
"The most important way you can prepare to deal with smoking is by establishing good communication. The more you talk with your child, the better chance you have of staying close when things get tough," says Neil Izenberg, MD, pediatrician and author of How to Raise Non-Smoking Kids.
Did you know? Nearly 90% of all adult smokers start when they are teens and never intend to get hooked.
What Should I Say?
When talking to your child about smoking, Dr. Izenberg recommends that parents stick to the facts. "There's no need to invent - the truth is bad enough," he says. Resist lecturing or turning your advice into a sermon; the point is to communicate values such as honesty, self-reliance, and responsibility to your children - and how good values make good decisions easier to make.
How can you translate these standards to your child? To start with, even the youngest child can understand that smoking is bad for your body. Young children also imitate their parents, so if you smoke or dip, quit. Kids want to be like their parents, so setting an example is vitally important. You can also establish firm rules that exclude smoking and smokeless tobacco from your house and explain why: smokers smell bad, look bad, and feel bad.
Teach children from an early age about the differences between images used by advertisers of tobacco products and reality. One antismoking group suggests letting kids compare an ad for a toy on television with what the toy really does, and then using this example to compare images of people smoking in ads and what smoking is truly like. Teaching media literacy (helping your kids become critical consumers) is an important parenting task.
As children grow older, steer them toward positive role models in entertainment or sports who don't smoke, and continue to compare images in movies or television of heroes who smoke with what smoking does to real people. "Make it part of your daily routine to sit and talk with your kid," Dr. Izenberg says. "Don't avoid subjects because you might find them uncomfortable or you're afraid you don't know just the right words."
Did you know? Wondering what kills more each year than AIDS, fires, car accidents, murders, suicides, alcohol, and other drugs combined? You've got it - Smoking.
By sharing time with your 8- to 11-year-old and valuing her opinions and ideas, you help build her self-confidence and self-worth - qualities that will help her to combat subtle advertising messages that promote rebellion and being cool above all. Kids who believe in themselves and have support at home may be better able to reject these messages.
The need to be socially accepted often increases as kids approach their teens. But if you've equipped your child with the facts about tobacco's dangers and helped your child to develop healthy self-esteem, she won't want to smoke or use smokeless tobacco. What she probably will want is simply to be accepted by her peers.
"Saying 'no' to people your child wants desperately to please can seem far worse than smoking a few cigarettes," Dr. Izenberg says.
To help your teen, talk to her about how to respond to those who encourage her to light up. Responses may range from simply saying "no" to excuses about smoking being a waste of money. When discussing these issues with your teen, be a patient listener. "Don't expect teens to be consistent, logical, articulate, or even conscious of the reasons why they do things. It will take time to develop a defensible position against smoking," Dr. Izenberg warns. If your child seems overly angry or depressed, however, you may want to consult your child's doctor.
Risk Factors
Kids may be drawn to smoking for any number of reasons - to look cool, act older, lose weight, win cool merchandise, seem tough, or feel independent.
To combat these images, you can explain that virtually all the adults who smoke started when they were teens and continue to smoke because they are addicted. Give your child the facts: nine out of 10 new teen smokers say they plan to quit within a year; few actually do.
Talk about what true independence means and how much of your teen's daily routine would be governed by cigarettes if she began to smoke. How would this affect her friendships? How will she afford the habit? Discuss what being an adult really means. And while you're talking about independence and adulthood, encourage your teen to take on some constructive and healthy responsibilities that come with being older, such as having a part-time job or volunteering.
If your child is using cigarettes to be cool or rebel, you can try a couple of things. Remind your child of the difference between image and substance: what cigarettes do to your looks or your health vs. the so-called glamorous image. Talk about how what your kid may see as rebellion is actually the result of being the dupe of clever marketing - hardly the sign of a rebel.
Remember that a kid may also be using smoking as a way to test your limits, so maintain your rules. If your child is smoking to test her own limitations to see if she can smoke and quit, steer her toward some other, less deadly forms of risk taking. Hiking, swimming, and climbing are a few activities that can put your child on the edge.
Tips for Parents
Below are some tips for improving communication about tobacco products:
Be a good listener. Make sure your child feels comfortable bringing problems or questions to you. Note what your child is not saying. If she doesn't tell you about her friends, for example, take the initiative and ask questions.
Be available to discuss sensitive subjects. Children need to know they can rely on their parents for accurate information.
Emphasize what your child does right rather than wrong. Self-confidence is your child's best protection against peer pressure.
Give clear, specific messages when talking about tobacco and tobacco products so your child will know exactly what is expected.
Help your kid to get involved in activities that preclude smoking, such as sports activities. Many coaches actively discourage smoking. Among other things, it negatively affects performance.
Encourage your child to walk away from friends who don't recognize or respect her reasons for not smoking.
Read, watch television, and go to the movies with your child. Compare media images to reality. For example, watch a heavy smoking hero run from "bad" guys. Does he end up wheezing or coughing when he finally escapes? Also talk about what you don't see or hear. When the camera moves in on two smokers whispering to one another, do you hear a wheeze or see wrinkles? Why not?
Be aware of who your kid hangs out with. If she has at least one close friend who smokes, the chances that she'll pick up a cigarette are much greater. If that's the case, don't wait until you know your child has started to smoke. Instead, Dr. Izenberg suggests you might want to try asking something like "Your friend, Steve, smokes, doesn't he? Do you feel tempted to smoke when you're with him?"
If you are or your child are experiencing difficulties communicating, coping, or managing the daily stressors of life please contact your health care insurance company. There are trained professionals waiting to help you achieve wellness and peace of mind.

I spoke with ODT recently about my teenage son coming home and telling me about another boy bringing Kodiak to school. His friend told him it was harmless because his dad does it. The boy talked about the different flavors Kodiak has and wanted Paul to try some. He wouldn't but he also would not believe me that Kodiak was just like Mom's ex-friend Copenhagen. I had to show him on the internet. He told me that he didn't think that his friend knew it actually had "tobacco/nicotine" in it. I told Paul to tell him if he brought it to school again and my son saw it to go to the office and report him having a tobacco product on school campus. It made me feel really good not just the aspect of child/parent communication but that I don't use smokeless tobacco anymore. I finally grew up.
To those of you who haven't quit: Isn't it time to grow up? I don't care how many times you've said that you're not addicted. YOU ARE! Been there - said it! I don't care how many times you've said "ahhh they're crazy .. I can quit this anytime I want to." Been there - said that too! I don't care how many times you've thought, " I've tried to quit many times but I just can't do it. I'm going to die one day." Yep - been there and said that too. Now take a good look around you. Are you ready to die today? Never to see your family or friends again - all because you want to be selfish. All because of your "you can quit anytime attitude?" Why not make that anytime .. n-o-w?
You can do it! Post Day 1 and prove to yourself - nobody else but yourself - that you have grown up.
ODT, Bless you for educating our children! I only wish I had the means to do what you do as a motivational speaker and travel - to show that even females become addicted to this as well. Everything happens for a reason - though your ordeal might have been heartbreaking to you and your family in the end you've saved a child, mother/father or future wife/husband that very same heartbreak or worse yet the heartache of losing a loved one!
Thank you! -xo
And a huge thank you to this very site, to everyone in my April Quit Group and my brothers and sisters for helping me stay quit by choosing one day at a time to be tobacco-free!
Think you can't quit? THINK AGAIN!

Everybody loves a quitter! Don't pretend it's not tough, but also know that it is possible. The self confidence gained through beating your addiction is worth the discomfort of craving.

For the "GUESTS":
QuittinTime's 4 Step Program: (It's worked so far.)
Step 1: Take that can of copenskodihuskgrizzletimbrshit and open the lid, and dump that shit down the big round white thingy in the the little room in your house, pull the handle on the big round white thingy and watch it spin into oblivion, then tap the can several times to get out all the flakes and flush again, then one more time to get the shit off the rim.
Step 2: Take that empty can of copenskodihuskgrizzletimbrshit outside away from anything flammable and throw it on the ground, stomp the living dog shit out of it, pour some lighter fluid, gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, or some other flammable liquid onto the can. Stand back about 6 to 8 feet and toss a match into the f-u-c-k-e-r and watch it burn........burn baby burn! Do a dance around the worthless son of a b-i-t-c-h. When the flames die down, stomp the shit of the metal lid (if applicable).
Step 3: Bury the remains..........say a few words if you wish.
Step 4: DO NOT BUY, BUM, STEAL, OR GO NEAR THAT SHIT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST LIKE YOUR MAMA TOLD YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE. :angry:

IÂ’m not sure if this is the place to post this but itÂ’s late and I need to vent. Last Tuesday morning I woke up with an odd sensation in my mouth. I kept feeling something in the soft part of the roof of my mouth with my tongue. At first I thought it was food or something but I couldnÂ’t get it off. I tried to look at it in the mirror but could not get a good enough view to see anything. Anyway, I went to work for the rest of the day but I had a hard time concentrating as you can imagine.
Finally got back to the hotel room later that night and had one of my support staff take a look – had to promise to buy beers at dinner but what the hell, I was desperate. He described to me what he thought looked like a very small white wart or polyp on my soft palate. It was definitely attached to the roof of my mouth. Anyway, took the boys to dinner and bought them their beers but my mind was going a 1000 MPH at this point and all I wanted to do was get back to my room and call one of my brothers. I was freaking out and thinking the worst. I got a hold of someone and he quickly made me feel better… it could be a million different things. I had ingested three cans of jerky snuff and a bag of seeds on the plane ride (I’m not a good flyer). All of the salt could have caused a problem or even the seeds for that matter. That call was a tremendous help, as I probably would not have slept the remainder of that trip.
Got home Wednesday night late and my wife let me know that she was able to get my dentist appointment moved to this coming Tuesday. She told the dentist everything that was going on and he told her I shouldn’t worry and that my friend was probably right – all the salt I had put in my mouth more than likely caused the problem. Again, this made me feel better and I was able to start acting like a normal person for the next day or so.
Saturday morning rolls around and now I’m nervous again. I am able to see the spot now with the assistance of my daughter’s vanity mirror and it seems like it is bigger than what my co-worker had initially described to me. It’s white and just hanging there. Of course I run down and have my wife look at it as well… I need someone to confirm that this thing in my mouth is as big as I think it is. She calmed me down again and reminded me of what I have been told by a number of people – that chances are this is nothing to worry about.
Now it’s Saturday night and of course I can’t sleep because my mind is back at it again. Caving is the least of my worries – it’s not even a consideration. Cancer is definitely the primary thought in my head but I’m also wondering this… if it is cancer, would this have happened if I had quit two days earlier? A week? A month? I know it seems insane but this keeps running through my mind and I can’t get it out. Did that last can cause this? If it’s cancer what in the fuck do I tell my daughter? That I waited too long to quit? This has by far been the hardest part of my quit – I’ll take those first three days times a million to make this shit go away and feel right again.
A word of advice to those who are lurking or thinking about quitting while I’m up on this soapbox – don’t fuck around waiting… just do it. Life is a hell of a lot more important than the shit that comes in those fucking cans.
Peace out,
Golfn

Ten days ago when I quit my mouth was in pretty good shape. Yesterday I noticed some shit going on in my lower right lip (white line etc). I would keep dip rotated around to keep any one place from getting too irritated and if I got a sore I'd stop dipping in that area till it healed. I'm pretty surprised this showed up now but I'm thinking Leukoplakia not carcinoma.

Be Proud of everyday you have completed dip free. You are doing something for yourself, and it should feel so great to make yourself #1!

THE DECISION
Quitting dip comes down to one thing... a decision to quit. I can't spell it out any simpler than that. Sure, it's much easier for me to say that today now that I've quit than it would have been on day 1 or day 10, but every day that goes by, I believe it more and more.
I'm not here to tell you that the decision is easy to make because it's certainly not. There are some days when the decision is downright nearly impossible to make. But it's a decision that needs to be made no a daily basis.
There are many things in our lives and in our quits that we have no control over. We can't control the weather, we can't control how people view us, we can't control what happens at the office, we can't control whether we are sick. In our quits, we can't control the withdrawal that we go through, we can't control WHAT symptoms we'll experience nor can we control how long those symptoms persist.
To look at it that way doesn't look good. But remember... the decision.
You can DECIDE to put a dip in.
You can DECIDE to NOT put a dip in.
You can DECIDE whether you want to continue to be a slave to the can.
You can DECIDE to LIVE your life WITHOUT dip.
I've had conversations with other quitters and cavers. I've been asked what makes me different (than someone who's struggling). The answer is simple... I made my decision. I'm not any stronger, I'm not any better and quite frankly I'm not any different. I'm an addict just like all of you... I made my decision. I made my decision this morning just like I have every morning since July 24th. I'll make a decision tomorrow as well.
When you're thinking that quitting isn't possible... when you're thinking that everything is out of your control and you NEED your dip... make a decision.
You're in a place where people can help you once you're made your decision but we can't make it for you. We're here to help.
DECIDE to let us help.
DECIDE to not dip today.
DECIDE to live life WITHOUT dip or chew.
DECIDE to live.
This thing is simple -- it's decision time my friend...

Hey guys, I'm new here...so I'm just posting in the wrong section, forgive me for that.
I've been a regular dipper since I was about 16 1/2 at a rate of about 2-3 dips a day (considerably less when I started), with a few "days off" here and there; I also was a smoker for a few months (which means I cut back on my dipping considerably, but still didn;t quit). I'll be 20 in December.
I haven't had any leukoplakia, discoloration, or anything scary-looking show up in my mouth; the only potential oral cancer (or otherwise any cancer) symptom I've had is the feeling of something being caught in my throat, and I just got over bronchitis a few weeks ago, so that likely is nothing serious. Also, I don't have any family history of cancer and have had several relatives who have smoked/dipped for many years with no big health issues.
Despite all that, I'm still worried as hell, all the time, even though I've quit. I keep thinking about that dude from the anti-tobacco commercials who started dipping at 13 and got cancer at 16; even though I'm probably fine, I still worry that that could be me. Something new pops up every day that makes me think I could have cancer or something, even though I know it's probably not a big deal. I pray about this daily, and that's reassuring (and it feels like I'm slapping God in the face by worrying about it). But, since I used tobacco for all that time, I'm going through some pretty intense hell worrying about what I've done to myself...kind of makes me want a rewind button. The upside: quitting's been relatively easy so far, and I've resolved to never use tobacco again; the past few weeks are enough to make me hate tobacco with a passion that I've never hated anything with in my life.
...I'm done venting now; thanks guys.
-
One more thing, for any guests or anybody who hasn't quit yet...
When I was a dipper, no degree of advice could make me want to quit. I worried occasionally about health issues (and getting caught) but I still loved tobacco. And now, I realize that if I could have just not been soft about it and given up the habit before it was something to worry about, I wouldn't be in the spot I'm in now. Like I said, I think I'm OK, but the uncertainty is the roughest thing I've had to face in a while, so If you're still dipping, drop it ASAP. You'll thank yourself later.

Stopping dipping is the process of avoiding cravings, one at a time. It really is that simple. Don't make quitting a complicated process, because it's not.

You have done the right thing! Most if not all of the Nic is out of your system by now. Hang here and read, read, read - post, post and post! Weekend can be a little slow around here, so head over to you quit group (Oct. 07) and post there.
Be strong and PM me if you need anything.

Great choice on the quit ! And you're right, now it's all mind games. Decide you won't be controlled by nicotine. Be your own boss with this. Like FP said, the weekends can be slow, but hang in and someone will come along.

The best thing is life is God has a plan and everything happens for a reason. There are no coincedenses.(sp) You and I and everyone else are here for a reason. God I love your work!!!!!

It's 330 in the morning, but I need to post this.
I'm happy. I'm ridiculously happy.
Two years ago, I was living in California and working as a nanny. I was dipping, and I was miserable person. I had a friend though, that told me about a quit dip website... I made a note of it, but didn't think much of it.
About a year and a half ago I had moved back home, found that link I had saved to the site, joined my quit group, and quit dipping. I had found a second family, and to each of them I owe my life.
Yesterday morning I was really sick and had to make an emergency trip to see a doctor, but I wasn't scared. I knew it was just plain ol being sick. I wasn't worried that it was cancer like I had been so many times before when I had a scratchy throat.
A year ago I went back to school... Since then I've busted my ass, and as a result I was accepted into a really awesome pre-nursing program. I found that out yesterday. When I told my parents my dad told me he was proud of me. That's the third time in my life he's said those words to me.
Last night I celebrated not only getting into the university, but also my boyfriend being off dip for a week. After talking to a great man on this site (ODT) over some pretty good Mexican food last week, he flushed his can and is going strong in his quit.
Last night when the boyfriend dropped me off at home, he hugged me so tight and started praying, just right there, standing in front of my house. By the time he was finished I was in tears... because I realized that this is the first relationship I've had that has felt right, and because he's not quitting because he loves me.. he's quitting because he has enough love for himself to do so. I stood there and told him why I was crying, and he smiled as he wiped my tears away... and I realized...
I'm happy.
This site, and these people have played such a huge part in my life. They were there for me when I first quit, and I was a raging lunatic who baked for 2 weeks straight just so I wouldnt think about the dip. They were there for me everytime i needed someone to talk to, because life was stressful and I thought I needed a dip to make it better. They told me how much better I was without it. These people have supported me going back to school, never missing an opportunity to tell me they were proud of me, or that I was doing a great job. The members of this site have truly become my family. We stick by eachother, we keep eachother in line. When one of us hurts, we all hurt with them. When one of us has joy in our lives, we all take the time to celebrate.
Quitting was the best decision I ever made. I'm a happy person again. I don't have to hide behind a can.
If you're reading this, and you haven't quit yet... I really urge you to give this place a chance. It just might be the best decision you'll ever make.
And if you're one of my quit brothers (or sisters!) I love ya'll so much, and I wanted to say thank you for helping me get to a place in life where I feel good about myself again. Thank you for helping me to make good decisions for myself, so that when I look in the mirror I don't see a dipper... or even an ex dipper... I just see me... and that's the best feeling ever.
Ya... I'm happy.

Welcome to the Fun House - You are 100% in control of your quit - no one ever put a dip in my mouth, except me! Craves will not kill you, but you may think they will for a few days.
BTW if MLS can quit so can you - don't let a girl have bigger balls than you!!!

chewie's tip of the day
To Quit, you need lots of desire and tons of support. KillTheCan.org has offered me the support I needed.
-
I never realized six months ago how much my life would change. I never realized the amazing feeling of not being held captive by that tin can. I have more time to spend with my husband and boys. I don't have to look for ways to be alone.
I started thinking that I never smiled much throughout my life - even in pictures .....
that is .. until now .. I smile alot more then I used to.
And yes .. bad things may happen ... but one great thing will always remain ... I'm quit!
Here's to the next six months ........... a big huge thank you to everyone!
-Nickie

July 4, 2007Â…Independence Day! LOOT sees you lurking out there, reading along, knowing you need to quit, sinking feeling in your stomach. LOOT has been there. LOOT was you. You have a little momentum going your way this morning, you just need something to push you over the top to post that Day 1 right?
Independence Day. This is LOOTÂ’s third one clean of the can. The first one LOOT was 30 days or so clean and was facing a long weekend at the beach. LOOT was scared shitless because up until this point, the family was spared 24 hours exposure to LOOTÂ’s pissy ass bullshit. ButÂ…LOOT did what he had to and the family survived.
Last year, LOOT was truly free and clearÂ…independent of the can that shackled him for so many years. LOOT wishes that you guys contemplating this quit could live one week in LOOTÂ’s shoes. Gone are the cravings. Gone is the anxiety. Gone is the depression. Gone is the fog. Gone is the moodiness. Freedom took the place of all that shit. It was a long, painful process but damned well worth every minute of it. It certainly didnÂ’t seem like it at the timeÂ…but it was.
You can be here tooÂ…if you want it. And only if you want it. Make that commitment today. Make Independence Day the day that you saved your own life. The day you started your own road to independence.
You can do itÂ…we can help.
Be clean today men.
LOOT – 763 days clean

Hello to those you that want, wish, beg and need to quit. Hello to those of you that aren't sure what, how or why you are here reading this right now but I'm glad that you are. It means that you are thinking about quitting and that's just the first step of many in this journey. Hello to those of you that think you can't. Actually you CAN! Give it a try!
To my brothers and sisters: I wanted to write something today for you .. to inspire you but me and my husband were listening to a song and this song says it all that I could ever want to say. So I would like to share the lyrics with you and know that I hold you each dearly to me.
Little Wonders
sung by: Rob Thomas
let it go,
let it roll right off your shoulder
donÂ’t you know
the hardest part is over
let it in,
let your clarity define you
in the end
we will only just remember how it feels
our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists turns of fate
time falls away,
in these small hours,
these small hours still remain
let it slide,
let your troubles fall behind you
let it shine
until you feel it all around you
and i donÂ’t mind
if itÂ’s me you need to turn to
weÂ’ll get by,
itÂ’s the heart that really matters in the end
our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain
all of my regret
will wash away some how
but i can not forget
the way i feel right now
in these small hours
these little wonders
these twists turns of fate
these twists turns of fate
time falls away but these small hours
with these small hours, still remain,
they still remain
these little wonders
these twists turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these little wonders still remain
Thank you for helping me get my freedom back! Just remember the hardest part is over!

I just got my QSX knife and it's pretty darn cool! I urge anyone who has hit 100 days plus to order one for your self. I got mine for hitting the third floor. For all of you striving to hit the HOF, remember to order yours around day 90. By the way, the proceeds from the knife sales helps keep this place open. Well worth the 20 bucks.

day 1 of quitting, definately feel anxious. sick of lying to myself, saying itll be the last can. went a month involuntarily last summer, tried dipping afterwards and it was gross, somehow though i got back into the habit.
while ive never considered myself a 'tobacco user', bottom line is ive been using tobacco products consistantly for 7 years now. only 48 more hours till i get this shit out of my system.
day 1 check in.

Post often, read testimonials and profiles daily, protect your quit like you would your child. You are one dip away from a can a day.

I posted this in my roll, but thought I'd share it out here in the cafe. I reached a milestone yesterday. I did something yesterday I haven't done since December of 2005. While doing some grilling in the rain, I whistled. Now I know that may sound odd to some. But it suprised and elated myself. The side effects of my dipping took the ability to whistle away from me. Once you my story (http://www.trashyourcan.org/mystory.htm) ,then you may understand why whistling became a memory for me.
I finally got something back that dipping took away. It will never be what it was, but my whistle is back. Now on to other things.
GET YOUR QUIT ON !!!

What's up folks? This is my first post here. I've dipped for about 10 years and I've been dip free for about 3 hours now. :D I've tried several times to quit, but you know how that goes. I'm serious this time. My wife thinks I quit about a year and a half ago. I'm tired of being a closet dipper and obviously I can't go to her for support since she'd kill me. I went and bought some Nicorette Gum, sunflower seeds and lifesavers. I've got to do it this time.
Looks like ya'll have a cool site here and I look forward to visiting often during this dreadful process.

drink a ton of water to flush out your sytem - this typically takes about 72 hours. after that it's pretty much a mental game (which we can REALLY help with)
stay close to the site, read everything you can get your hands on (for additional reading, head over to http://www.killthecan.org/ (http://www.killthecan.org/) and specifically http://www.killthecan.org/robs/ (http://www.killthecan.org/robs/) )
once again welcome - you've made a GREAT decision!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'll head over to the October thread tomorrow and check it out over there.(I'm about to leave work, no delaying! :D )
WhoDey-I kind of agree with you as far as the gum goes, I'd certainly prefer 0 nicotine. But the closest I've ever come to quiting was when I used the patch for about a week, and I went 5 weeks w/o dip or the patch before effing it up. I try to only go to the gum when it gets really bad....otherwise the seeds and lifesavers do the trick.
'boob' --- I know it has nothing to do with what I just said, I just had to use this icon once

Trust Me
I've been where you're at, maybe not the exact situation but I've been there.
It's rough! It hurts! It stinks! You feel like punching something. Anything!
There's an ache deep within .. like you can't go on unless you have a dip in your mouth. You feel a dip will make things better. It'll reduce your stress and make life easier. It's become a daily ritual that's been screwed up by this freakin' site! Why do you even need this place? C'mon - just get a can and everything will seem better. Just one dip to ride you through! You've shown that you're strong enough to quit. It's just a dip not like you'll be addicted from one dip. Trust me!
Have you thought this? I bet it's safe to say you have. I know I have! But why?
Maybe you're at the beginning of your quit or you've been quit for a few months, .. better yet you could be a seasoned vet when this creeps into your mind. Just because you're quit doesn't mean you'll evade the nicotine demon totally from visiting your thoughts. It will from time to time slip in. At the beginning this might be your frame of mind every minute of every hour then once you start to get days under your belt, it becomes less and less of a thought or even an option. Truthfully the demon will always be there, .. ready to creep up at a moments notice ... when you least expect it.
Be prepared!
Be ready to fight!
Because ultimately ...
isn't your life worth fighting for?
You and I will always be addicted to this demon so that's why it's fortunate that we have this site and these resources. Here .. we have others to help us change our way of thinking, to learn new ways to cope through stressful situations and friendships to gain by the mere fact that we're in this together.
We can do this! You and I. Trust me!

Hi Knight and welcome to the board!
Please do yourself a HUGE favor and stop dipping NOW!
If you are going through a can in 3 weeks...your addiction is not real strong. Please stop now before it gets worse. I was at a can a DAY and quitting was a real bitch.
So, please for your own good...be serious about this quit and make it stick, because this stuff is not good for you....as a matter of fact, it will kill you if you don't quit.
October 2007 will be your group...go to "Quit Groups" on the main page, find October 2007 and post roll. Posting roll is your promise to not use tobacco today.
Thanks for joining.

A can every 3 weeks? Hard-core chewing? :huh: Most of you all reading that probably thought: "Man, that ain't hard-core chewing, what the hell is this punk talking about?" Well, it all starts somewhere.....and then compounds itself yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily. Start with a little, then alot, then too fucking much, then you might be dead. I happy for you, bud. Quit NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BEFORE IT'S TOO DAMN LATE. _

knight41589 - please quit now! Don't ever think that you can't become addicted! You can 'n will! Read everything you can. The more you know the better you'll be. Congrats on not giving into that tin can that so many of us did for years and years! I'm proud of you at taking the first step!
Remember that quitting is harder but not quitting (cancer/death) well that's even harder.

I will quit later, hell I am still young!
A friend of this site thought the same thing. Hell just 21 years old. This person would quit for a while, and then have just one and would find the way back to day 1 in a few days, weeks or months.
Where is this person today? In the operating room as we speak having a cancerous lesion removed. While we all will pray for this person, we should also be thankful that more of us have not ended up in the same position.
Cancer knows no age or number of dips you have taken. The next one could be the one that corrupts a cell and gives you the big “C”.

Knight - friend, you picked a good time to quit. Face it, the hooks are set. The nic bitch is working on you. Quitting now, at your age would be such a bonus to you and the quality of your life.
Get involved in the quit groups. Get it done now. Make that mature decision that you will look back on in 20 years and wonder why you did such a dumb thing like dipping in the first place.
Welcome

Not dip since Monday? That's great. It's kinda like walking...you can go 100 miles one step at a time...you can quit dipping just taking it one day at a time. Don't dip today. Post your days. You deserve to get credit for not dipping. :)

chewie's tip of the day
Quitting dipping is more complex than just not dipping. We need to develop new coping skills. Life doesn't get any better when we quit chewing, we get better at life!

The evening of Friday July 13th I asked a friend of mine if she would like to take her kids to the movies. My boys wanted to see the Transformers movie and my friend said sure since it would get her out of the house. We had missed the 7pm showing by a half an hour so we decided to grab something at Wendys and go to the 9:30pm show. It was a great movie. My boys loved it. By the time we got out of there, it was after midnight and it had rained quite a bit during the movie. On our way home both of our sons had fallen asleep .. I was talking to Shelly when I saw this red truck hydroplane as he passed us. Everything happened so fast yet it still seemed like slow motion. He veered into our lane sideways and then hit a tree .. flipping his truck three times. The last time I thought it was going to hit me. I threw my arms up in reaction and twisted myself to the left. BAM! Then I realized this truck just missed my son and I by a few feet. Shelly called 911 as I tried to find the girl that was screaming. A man by that time had ran out of his house and helped me with the girl. She was in shock; bleeding from her head and a slight cut on her calf. I saw gas as it poured out of this upside down truck. We rushed and got her over to our van. The whole time she pleaded to get her boyfriend. By now a few more cars had stopped to help. Someone found a rock and busted out the drivers side window but it was so dark we couldn't see inside the truck. A man ran and got a flashlight but this boy wasn't in the truck at all. I yelled he must have been ejected out the front windshield that was busted. We looked everywhere until a man and I came across this boys feet sticking out from under the hood of his truck. The trucks final flip had landed on him. I put my foot out and moved his shoes but nothing moved back. It was at that moment I knew he was gone. I went back over to the girl and started asking questions. By that time I could hear the ambulance. His name was Chis and he was 18. She was 16. They had dropped her friend off first and he was late getting her home. Neither of them had their seat belt on. And when I asked if he had been drinking .. she just said I dunno. We ended up staying there until almost 1am. Our husband came before that to get the boys. I went to the ER the next day when the pain in my hips and buttocks wouldn't go away. Come to find out I reinjuried my tailbone that I had broke back in 2005. It was inflammed due to my sudden twist and then by me trying to get this truck off the boy. Yes, I tried lifting this truck up - my adrenaline was so high that I thought I could get him out from under it. On top of my injury I also had a high fever. A visit back to my Dr. today for tests showed that I have a viral infection and it just has to run its course. So basically I've been in bed. This weekend has been hard. One of my friend told me that he had a myspace and today I went and looked. I wasn't ready for what I saw. This boy was born 4-23-89 ... my birthday is 4-23-71 .. we shared the same birth date. What were the chances of that? For those of you that know me .. know that I take the blame for alot of things. Saturday .. I was blaming myself .. why did I have to go to the movies .. then he would have never tried to pass us .. he wouldn't have hydroplaned ... blah blah blah .. then I am like .. what the hell Nickie .. you can't believe that this ultimately wouldn't have happened had you not went to the movies - so stop it! .. It's just hard to know that someone died in front of you and there was not a single thing you could have done to prevent it. I just want you to know I am doing ok. I still have a fever .. been in bed ... trying to rest. Please don't worry! Sorry if this doesn't make sense ...

I feel for you. Reading your post I can imagine what your going through. Take comfort in knowing you were there for his friend when she needed someone. Hang in there JJ

QuittinTime's 4 Step Program: (It's worked so far.)
Step 1: Take that can of copenskodihuskgrizzletimbrshit and open the lid, and dump that shit down the big round white thingy in the the little room in your house, pull the handle on the big round white thingy and watch it spin into oblivion, then tap the can several times to get out all the flakes and flush again, then one more time to get the shit off the rim.
Step 2: Take that empty can of copenskodihuskgrizzletimbrshit outside away from anything flammable and throw it on the ground, stomp the living dog shit out of it, pour some lighter fluid, gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, or some other flammable liquid onto the can. Stand back about 6 to 8 feet and toss a match into the fucker and watch it burn........burn baby burn! Do a dance around the worthless son of a bitch. When the flames die down, stomp the shit of the metal lid (if applicable).
Step 3: Bury the remains..........say a few words if you wish.
Step 4: DO NOT BUY, BUM, STEAL, OR GO NEAR THAT SHIT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST LIKE YOUR MAMA TOLD YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE. :angry:

To all you quitters,
You may have no idea at this time, what I am trying to relate, but I have to post this somewhere...
Last night (which is actually tonight to must of us), was H-U-G-E for me.
Last night I was reunited with some of my quit group that I have not spoken to in much too long of a time.
A Drama Queen to some of you will invoke thoughts of horror and revulsion! ( :P ), to others, you will not have a clue. To those of us who are close to the heart of this subject, it will bring up wonder and awe. To A.C.O.R.D you may shudder! :D
Reunited were Elric, DFloyd, Remshot, and Lawen4cer..All of us in chat at the same time. What a blast from the past. What a sampling of what this site is about and what this site can do for all kinds of individuals....

It is hard for me to explain, but the mere fact that we interacted as one again last night, just like old times, has inspired me. It has rekindled a flame in me. A feeling of happiness and euphoria.

I feel infused. I feel thankful. Without these people, I would not be quit today. I owe my quit brothers and sisters more than I can explain to any outsider. I owe those of you who came after me (Units, July 06, to name a few). You kept the flame alive, you kept me focused. To those of you who came before me, I thank you with all my heart. Thank you for taking the time to spend your energy on me, and others in my group. Thank you for paying it forward. Thank you so much for showing me that it can be done. ACORD, FOCKERS, I owe you.
To all who may spend the time to read this..Sum it up and realize - if you get involved with your quit group as well as other quit groups - you will benefit in ways that will empower you...Do it. Try it. Reap the benefits.
That's all I have to say. I hope it makes sense to at least one person reading this. You can be successful in your quit. I am proof of that.

To all you quitters,
You may have no idea at this time, what I am trying to relate, but I have to post this somewhere...
Last night (which is actually tonight to must of us), was H-U-G-E for me.
Last night I was reunited with some of my quit group that I have not spoken to in much too long of a time.
A Drama Queen to some of you will invoke thoughts of horror and revulsion! ( :P ), to others, you will not have a clue. To those of us who are close to the heart of this subject, it will bring up wonder and awe. To A.C.O.R.D you may shudder! :D

Remshot
Remshot,
It does olÂ’ LOOT good to read that post. You hit the nail on the head for me bro. The period of Nov 05 to May 06 was nothing short of magic for me personally. I learned a lot about myself and realized I could be fairly good at something. I miss the old daysÂ…April/May raging together was a thing of beauty. I even miss having to read the riot act to my own group about smokingÂ….
Through it all I have countless friends. I dare say, you could just about drop me off, nekkid with my cell phone in virtually any metropolitan area in the country and with a few hours IÂ’d have shelter, food, and clothes on my backÂ…all from a person IÂ’ve never met. And that is not an exaggeration.
The group of people on this site are salt of the earth folks who bond because of a single shared goal. ItÂ’s a club of the eliteÂ…and the only requirement for membership is to be a quitter.
Thanks for the post RemÂ…you bitches Rock!

Ah yes Rem, the lovely Mayflowers *mtneer shudders*. There were some discussions way back when, the likes of which I had never seen, nor seen since. Quit groups are a very tight family, which is why I ended up belonging to 2 or three before settling on Sept :huh: It's good to see some of the old boys around.....now where the hell did Al go? Man quits drinkin for a while and thinks he's better than us. :angry:

Rem, I second your sentiment. Although I am here quite infrequently your PM hit home for me and once again helped me understand how I made it this time when I failed so many times in the past. The May group was the most amazing, frustrating, helpful, aggravating, and yet unbelievably supportive group I have ever encountered. The fact that I give so little thought to the addiction now is the greatest testament I could ever give and will forever be in your, and my other Drama Queen quit brothers/sisters, debt.
-
Rem, great post below....and I'm right there with ya buddy!
It's interesting, I've been watching some of the exchanges/spats/problems developing here. History does indeed repeat itseld. And the one that I got the biggest laugh out of was the group name issue.
How many of us remember that before we were Drama Queens....we were Free Maysons.....and oh, that was torture changing names...perhaps one of the times that a line was really drawn in our group and people were lining up, ready to square off. If people could have reached through their computer screens and popped someone, it would have happened. Oh, those were the days! :P
My point is that if we lived through some of the worst days, quit successfully, and it made us stronger....then those who are currently going through dip rage, experiencing problems, arguing within group and outside, etc...that which does not kill you, will make you stronger.
It really does get better people....and it really does last. If nothing else, we Drama Queens are living proof of that.

Hi,
Just wanted to say that I have come back to ask for support and lend support. I have done a some really dumb things in the past...the dumbest is having not quit.
I am here to quit. I am not here to screw with anyone, nor piss anyone off. I am only here to quit.
Tomorrow is a big day. I have a job interview, my third with this Co. and think I will get the position. This will be a huge thing for my family and myself if all goes well.
Tomorrow is big because it is also the day that I will be joining the October group 07. When I place my name on roll tomorrow it is my solemn promise to the group that I will not dip that day. I intend to repeat this process over and over again.
I am not coming in with big promise's, only taking this one day at a time.

Welcome to the group. However, don't worry about pissing off anyone...take out the agression on us, not your wife, kids, significant other, dog, cat, hamster, etc...that is what we are here for. Also, we can take it, believe me. Most of all, don't give yourself any excuse to get into the can once again. Trust me, our minds have come up with all the excuses you can think of all in the past, and it is all bullshit. Now is the time, it will be hard, but it can be done and we are living proof.

Really Worth It
It kinda felt like walking on shells all the way up to this point but honestly the eggshell mess is only the first few weeks of your quit. Once your body starts to make the adjustments of not having the nicotine and you start learning new coping mechanisms ( why you used snuff in the first place - like stress) it's a whole new ballgame. The days are so much easier. It's extremely rewarding knowing I had conquered my greatest fear. To be able to love myself. To give my body and health the attention it needed. It's very empowering. Quitting snuff has honestly helped me - well find me. I don't know if that will make sense to you or not. You might not be in the same mind frame that I have at this point but one day you'll know exactly what I am talking about and say .. "Oh wow! This is really worth it!"
I've been working on some emotional stuff lately. I need to start leaving the past where it is and taking the one day at time slogan for everything in my life; not just nicotine! Life is so precious! I love this new journey I'm traveling on now. Does it get easier? Oh yes! Will I still have those moments of wanting snuff? Oh yes! But the more time I have without that nasty habit sticking out of my mouth the better at peace I am - this is the way it's going to be for me. There's no looking back. I hope others follow in my footsteps and reclaim what is so rightfully theirs. Reclaim your honesty, your loyalty, your freedom - hell reclaim your smile! You're really worth it!
I have so many people to thank and yet thanks doesn't even come close to repaying any of you back for the happiness and sometimes sanity you bring into my life. To my husband and boys: I pray to God that I'm able to show you every moment on how much you truly are loved by me. Thank you for forgiving me for all the missed memories and delayed events because of my addiction. You are my world!
Thank you to this very site for providing me with the tools and guidance needed to stay quit! Euty - you were the very first person to respond to my cry for help. sbtzc - you actually showed me how and why to post roll in April 2007 but you never told me how much they would become such a huge part of me. Thanks to the both of you! Gosh, I fear that I will leave someone out and so please don't hold it against me. My girls - Ashley, Janhawke, lawen4cer, Rayne and I can't leave out Hope and Jenny Kern! The latter of the two though we've never spoken I feel a great connection with. Hope - for your fine words of wisdom! Thank you for Contract to Give Up and just writing and posting. It's helped heal so many. Jenny Kern - for your courage and strength through such tragedy and for helping me realize I am hurting the ones I love by dipping. I'm slowly killing myself. Ashley, Janhawke, Rose, Rayne - for showing me I have two feet to stand on and that sometimes when I stumble it's not a mistake but a learning process. I love you all dearly!
Killer - thank you for the talks and all the time and effort you put into the beginning of my quit! Lots of days were a struggle. Thank you QT, WhoDey, loot, TJHook, Capt Jack, RC, beatdabear, pithull, Remshot, arbcubed, Copewquitn, 7iron, OkieFire, grunt0302, Aquaman43, Virginia Jim, SplinterCell, Wranglerman, Woodman, rodeo timer, 3boysdad, my crew in the chatroom, above all April 07 Quittin' Spittin' Crew - my men and yes I call each and every one of you men for having the balls to post roll day in and day out and still listen to my crap - I love you all - thank you for never letting your sister down.
.. umm, I feel I'm going to leave someone out .. dang it .. everyone at this site THANK YOU!
Last but definately not least -
Chewie, ODT, Penguin, Spongebob .. you all have been a Gold mine to me. I look up to you and learn from you constantly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I hope reading this you realize how important your quit brothers and sisters are ... how strangers at first can become friends with a strong bond and to think we did it all without dip!
ps) Remember I wrote this 'cause .. well 'cause you're really worth it!

The Worst Year VS. The Best Year
Since I've got WAY too many posts, I figured I'd have to write something today. I'll even use a couple of capital letters along the way which I almost never do (too lazy).
This past year has been quite a ride to say the least.
I've had two heart attacks (or at least I thought I did).
I've had cancer 37 times (at least I thought I did).
I had insomnia.
I had rage.
I had 5 trips to the emergency room (3 dip quit related).
I've lost family members.
I've lost friends.
I've seen friend go to Iraq only to retun in a box.
I've seen my son's blood for the first time.
I've got a new job where I've got a brutal commute.
Gas prices are through the fucking roof.
Oh yeah... I QUIT DIPPING. I met my family... I met my friends. I met the people that quite franky my world revolves around. My wife continues to refer to "your online quit friends" and I continue to correct her, "They are my friends - the fact that I met them online is mearly a formality."
The fact that I quit dipping overshadows anything bad in my life over the last year and will continue to doso. I'm not saying I'm cured cause I'm certainly not. I'm not saying that I don't think about dip on occasion. In fact, I was driving back from DC yesterday afternoon, my wife and son were sleeping and believe it or not I was thinking about dip. Not cause I was craving, but cause I was really tired and wanted to stay awake. You believe that shit? After a YEAR I still think about the weed. But the beauty of it is I don't think of it as an option anymore. It isn't. Living dip free is the only option.
I was offered a beautiful Cuban cigar this past weekend - turned it down. I've never been one to equate cigar smoking to dipping, but nic is nic and I've beaten the bitch with the help of my family here and I'm not going to let her sink her claws back into me again.
Here's the bottom line and then I'll go back to post whoring - each and every one of you helps me quit on a daily basis.... whether you've got 1,000 + days or 1 day - YOU HELP ME. I'll admit that much of what I do here is VERY selfish - I need it to keep me going... so that's what I do.
Thank YOU to everyone here...
Greg

sure thing! we're all about suggestions here...
first off, let me tell you that you're right on track! congrats on a week, but you're not out of the woods. you WILL have difficult times for quite some time now but the beautiful thing is you've done the hardest work from a physical standpoint - the nic is out of your system and you're free of it forever... now the mind games begi
"i've quit for a week... i can quit anytime"
"i can have just one"
"i'll feel better if i just have one dip"
"i'll only dip when i travel and i don't travel all that often"
all LIES.
as for the fake stuff, do ANYTHING necessary to keep the real stuff out of your mouth... if it means fake snuff, then so be it.
remember, don't try to quit forever... quit one day at a time.
make that decision and you will MAKE IT!
chewie
THE DECISION
Quitting dip comes down to one thing... a decision to quit. I can't spell it out any simpler than that. Sure, it's much easier for me to say that today now that I've quit than it would have been on day 1 or day 10, but every day that goes by, I believe it more and more.
I'm not here to tell you that the decision is easy to make because it's certainly not. There are some days when the decision is downright nearly impossible to make. But it's a decision that needs to be made no a daily basis.
There are many things in our lives and in our quits that we have no control over. We can't control the weather, we can't control how people view us, we can't control what happens at the office, we can't control whether we are sick. In our quits, we can't control the withdrawal that we go through, we can't control WHAT symptoms we'll experience nor can we control how long those symptoms persist.
To look at it that way doesn't look good. But remember... the decision.
You can DECIDE to put a dip in.
You can DECIDE to NOT put a dip in.
You can DECIDE whether you want to continue to be a slave to the can.
You can DECIDE to LIVE your life WITHOUT dip.
I've had conversations with other quitters and cavers. I've been asked what makes me different (than someone who's struggling). The answer is simple... I made my decision. I'm not any stronger, I'm not any better and quite frankly I'm not any different. I'm an addict just like all of you... I made my decision. I made my decision this morning just like I have every morning since July 24th. I'll make a decision tomorrow as well.
When you're thinking that quitting isn't possible... when you're thinking that everything is out of your control and you NEED your dip... make a decision.
You're in a place where people can help you once you're made your decision but we can't make it for you. We're here to help.
DECIDE to let us help.
DECIDE to not dip today.
DECIDE to live life WITHOUT dip or chew.
DECIDE to live.
This thing is simple -- it's decision time my friend...

Congrats on the tobacco free week, bud. Don't listen to the Nico-Bitch whispering in your ear. You don't NEED anything in your lip. But if you just can't hack it and the shit is going to hit the fan, stuff any damn thing you can find in there with the EXCEPTION OF TOBACCO. Gum (chew up the whole pack and shove it in there), sunflower seeds, beef jerky, FAKE snuff (try different brands until something suits you), tea bags (soak 'em in wintergreen flavoring), black licorice, candy, dog turds, etc. Whateverthefuckittakestokeeptobaccooutofyourface! YOU can do this, YOU have done this for a week, and YOU will continue to keep quit, and we can help YOU. B)

You can do it! Every time you think of a dip, remind yourself why you wanted to quit in the first place. This helps to keep you on track.

Look Deep
That's right go ahead - judge her - like she has no feelings.
Look deep inside her and tell us all what you see!
I'm sure if given the chance you'd find-
a broken soul trying to find their way in this messed up world.
Are you any better than she?
Who are you to judge her do's or don'ts, her will's and won'ts.
She believes that people in this world are geniunely good
but then why does she feel so cold this very moment?
That's right go ahead - judge her - like she doesn't exist.
Maybe it'll make you feel better about all the wrongs you have done.
And when you're finished pointing the finger -
look deep inside yourself and tell us all what you see!

Think dipping makes sense? Think it makes sense to "try" and quit? Read below.
Contract to Give Up
I give up my quit. Quitting is impossible and I cannot do it. I love dipping more than I love myself. I care about dipping more than I care about my personal health. I love dipping more than I love my family. I know this addiction will kill me, and I ACCEPT that fact. I enjoy spending time alone with my can more than I enjoy spending time with anyone else on the planet. I look forward to losing my jaw, my tongue, my throat, my life - it's worth it. When I am lying in my hospital bed fighting a losing battle against cancer I will feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that this is the path I CHOSE. My only regret will be that I didn't start dipping earlier in life. I will feel sorrow for my familyÂ’s heartbreak and suffer untold pain, but I know you must sacrifice for the things you truly love. I know ALL the consequences of my actions and I accept them fully and without regret. I hereby choose to give my life to this addiction - I do so with a smile on face.

Surround yourself in your quit. Go everywhere you can't dip. Read stuff here at KillTheCan.or 'til you think you'll go blind. Know that every crave you beat is a badge of honor.

To you new Quitters,
Welcome. You have come to the right place. If you are serious about quitting dip for good, this is the place to get the help, support, and information you need to be successful.
There is no finer group of people anywhere on the web, who know what you are going through, who have been where you are, and who understand the gamut of feelings that you are experiencing.
Reach out, make contact and establish relationships. The friendship you build could very well be the friendship that saves your jaw, your face, your life. One of these days, you will realize the joy of shutting the door on tobacco forever, and all of us here will celebrate that accomplishment with genuine happiness with you.
You were smart to come here and you will be even smarter when you utilize all the tools that are offered to you.
Stay strong, stay quit,

If Given The Chance
I bet - if given the chance - I could seduce you into using me even if it's just one time.
Then after you've tried me I know you wouldn't want anything else other than myself.
I bet - if given the chance - I could make you believe I'm a loyal friend; some sort of confidante.
Sooner or later I'll be able to manipulate, hell I'll be able to isolate you from family even friends.
I bet - if given the chance - I could ravish you with deadly poisons pretending they're great pleasures.
And after all those years of letting me control your every move you'll see what I'm truly after ...... death.
I'm your greatest fear. I'm your addiction.
I bet - if given the chance - you'll begin to feel guilty from hurting so many because of your worship for me.
But after I am gone they'll learn to forgive you but never truly understand how or why this could've happened.
I bet - if given the chance - you'll begin to forget me as time passes though I'll try my best to wreck havoc on you once more.
You see, within the darkest corner of your mind every so often I'll beg you to give me another try.
I bet - if given the chance - you'll begin to see hope that you can live your life without me.
And after all those years of letting me control your every move you'll also see what I truly dread ...... life.
It's my greatest fear. It's your recovery.

chewie's tip of the day
Determine that you are truly done dipping, then fight to stay quit. Be prepared both physically and mentally and above all else stay focused. Never surrender to the addiction

From S2K:
Morning fellas...grab a cup of joe, this could be a long one.
Things are good over here in the sandbox - it's hot as a mother effer but what's new. I have a story that I have to share with you guys - one that may really hit home.
The place I work is a medical facility that sees all kinds of weird things...we have an ER, an ICU, a dental office, mental health offices, etc. We get random traumas now and then, but for the most part we function as a clinic for the base we're on. Yesterday morning an Army soldier came in complaining of lower left side tooth pain. Usually I'll check them in, call the dentist up and the dentist will take them away. With is being Sunday though the dentist was off and we needed to radio him to come in. In the meantime I checked him in and did a short triage note and asked him about his dental pain. He told me..."I know what it is man, but I can't bear to look in the mirror at it". I said "What do you mean?" and he opened his mouth, pulled back his lower lip, and I nearly SHIT myself. He had a GIGANTIC lesion in his "dip pocket". I've never seen one in person but I knew exactly what it was from all the pictures I've seen of the results of dipping.
So...there I was...staring in the face of a man I didn't know but was about to bust out every line ever used in QSX to help this guy before the dentist showed up. As soon as I told him I was on day 326 of quitting Cope he opened up to me like a book.
Same story as all of us...dipping since he was 19 - 11 years for him - he just turned 30. This is his second tour to Iraq and he's got 10 months to go on this one. He's out in the field for 2 weeks, back at base for 1 week, and so on basically his whole tour. He dips a minimum of 2 cans of Cope per day so you do the math - 14 days in the field at 2 cans per day = 28 cans he needs before heading out. Logs come 5 tins to a log here so he said he usually buys 6 logs every time they go out and usually ends up bumming dips from his buddies after he runs out. I couldn't believe what I was hearing...it was like the forum was spilling out to me in real life.
He told me how hard it is for him to not dip, how it is his only connection to the real world, how it's what ties him to home and everything he knows, how it gets him through each day because it's the only constant in his life. The guy was just spilling his guts to me about his addiction. He knew he was addicted and said he can't live without it, but he hates it - (the exact thing I thought the day before I found this site last September). He had never really tried quitting because nearly everyone in his unit dips so he never thought it was possible with all the pressure he would get.
We were still trying to get in touch with the dentist, so I kept talking to him. I asked him about the lesion and he said "I knew it was there, I could feel it with my toungue, but I haven't looked at my mouth in the mirror in over 3 months. I was too ashamed and didn't want to admit the reality so I just kept dipping on the other side of my mouth". I could see the pain in this guys eyes because he knew he did this to himself and finally couldn't take the pain of his tooth and the lesion any longer so he came to see us.
The dentist finally showed up, did his exam, and basically said there was no way that we could determine the status of the lesion if it was cancerous or not with our limited resources here, so he recommeneded the soldier be aerovaced to Germany where they have further capabilities to work on him, test the lesion, and keep him in the hospital for a while, etc.
The soldier was nearly in tears thinking about leaving his unit to be aerovaced because of somethings he's slowly done to himself. Those men are bonded and they will do about anything to stay with their unit.
So we aerovaced him last night to Balad, where he then would be sent on to Germany today. Before he left I told him about life without dip and how it's possible and how QSX works. He said if he makes it back to Iraq he doesn't get to be on a computer much so he'd have trouble posting roll call. So I came to the computer and printed off "The Secret of Our Success" by the Bluesman, Spongebob Montra, and the Quit Contract. On the back of the quit contract I wrote in big letters "ONE DAY AT A TIME" and all of my email addresses and told him to keep those on him and read them as many times a day as it takes to get him through the times he can't be close to the computer.
Before leaving he shook my hand and said for the first time in his dipping life he has hope. He then reached into his BDU leg pocket and pulled out a half full tin and 2 unopened tins of Cope and with a big smile he told me "flush them fuckers". For the first time since getting to Iraq, I felt like I finally made a real difference and it had nothing to do with the military or medicine. 30 years old, dipping for 11 years, and the guy had lesions...that could have been me had I not found this site.
So...keep your eyes peeled for a newbie that posts from Iraq. I hope like hell he emails me and joins QS when he can. I can't even imagine the life he lives day to day over here but I hope he takes those 3 things I printed him and puts them to use. Other than listening to him and being a QSX preacher that's about all I could do for him - I hope it was enough to help and I'm extremely thankful I just happened to be working yesterday.
Anyway...that's my Monday morning story from Iraq.

Mega-Props to S2K, you set the bar high with this one, bud. You should be proud, and hold your head up high, not only for being steadfast in your own quit, but for passing on the dream to those that know nothing of it, or even have a shred of hope to be quit. Walk tall my friend, the quit is good, pass it on. B)

Whoa! Chewy's got almost 10,000 posts?? :wacko:
See, this is what happens when you stop using tobacco, you end up having all kinds of free time.
It's a beautiful thing!! :D
-
I was just thinking about the "guests" I see logged in from time to time. I suppose that some of these are just grizzly old vets, too tired to type in their usernames and passwords. Certainly some are really just visiting. Perhaps they have never been to the site before or perhaps they have been stopping by regularly. One can certainly see and read much and still be anonymous around here.
The thing that saddens me is knowing that some guests come here, look around and then leave without quitting because they think this road to freedom will either be "too hard" or "not really worth it."
So if you are a "guest" (or anyone else still dipping snuff), let me assure of two things:
1) Quitting is not too hard.
Is it difficult? You betcha! Could it be the most difficult thing you've ever done? Perhaps.
But too Hard? No way!
We are proof of that. We are getting it done around here everyday. Me? I started dipping cope at age 15 and continued that relationship for 24 years.
I too was scared to quit. I thought it would be "too hard". Why? Because I would ponder a future without tobacco - my constant companion. I would get anxiety just thinking about giving up snuff forever. That's why, around here, we do not use the word "forever". Forever kills quits. Forever is not attainable - it does not work.
Around here, we make daily committments. We say "No Tobacco Today!" and then we do absolutely anything and everything necessary to keep that promise. The first few days will seem like an eternity so you will need to break up "today" into smaller, more manageable increments, but you can do it and each day's success will build on itself. The satisfaction you achieve and the freedom you obtain will begin to drown the feelings of loss.
2) Quitting will be worthwhile.
Obviously, dipping snuff is bad for you. You've read the warnings labels ... we all have. I would typically see the warning as I ran my finger nail under the metal lid and sliced open a new can of cope. They always appeared upside down so they became pretty easy to ignore, but I did believe them.
By removing nicotine from your system, your heart rate will slow, your blood pressure will decrease, you will become less prone to anxiety attacks and in other ways, you will become healthier.
When you stop using tobacco, the chemicals and carcinogens contained in it will no longer have an opportunity to damage your body.
Of course these are healthy choices and are therefore worthwhile. Perhaps a better question is, will quitting be "worth it."
I can honestly tell you that many times during my first hundred days, I wondered if the physical, mental and emotional side effects I was experiencing would ever go away. Brain fog, headaches, weight gain, poor concentration, irritability, restlessness, hunger ... it was no picnic, that's for sure. Everyone kept telling me that brighter days were ahead. That at some point, staying quit would be easier and life would actually be better without tobacco.
Simply put ... that at some point, it would be "worth it".
Today marks 494 days since I have used any form of tobacco and/or nicotine. Am I cured? No. Am I immune from an occasional craving or dip-related thought? No, I may never be. Is staying quit easy? No, not always. Does that bother me or worry me in any way. No, not anymore. Why? Because ...
Now I am free. Before I quit, I had no idea how much I would value my freedom from tobacco. Freedom is underrated. Freedom from guilt. Freedom from fear. Freedom from the shackles of nicotine addiction ...
Freedom is a wonderful thing! and freedom is "worth it"!
So "guest", why not give it a shot? What do you really have to lose that is not far outweighed by both the health benefits and by freedom?
-
Great to see you over here 7iron. All you "guests" take this to heart......come back and read it a few more times. You may not quit today (although you should), but you can, and you will quit, or you wouldn't be here reading this. B)

chewie's tip of the day
Tell yourself that you will succeed. Remind yourself that the pain and stress of quitting is temporary, and that being nicotine free will be worth it all.
-
The Hall of Fame
I'm not sure exactly what it is, but there is something particularly special about this milestone. You will have a completely different outlook after 100 days. I'm not saying you'll be "cured" by then, but you will definitely (repeat definitely) agree by then that quitting is worth the effort.
So how do you get there?
One thing you need to do is maintain reasonable goals and celebrate all the mini-milestones ... 5, 7, 10, 14, 15, 20, 21, 25, 28, 30, 31, 35, 40, 42, 45, 49, 50 days and so on. Any multiple of 5 or 10 or any completed week or month is cause for celebration. Any day that ends without tobacco having entered one of your bodily cavities is a good day.
If you have recently quit smokeless tobacco, I commend you. Each and every day of the first couple weeks is a major accomplishment. You will soon see an improvement in the physical aspect of your quit (if you haven't already). The mental battles really got heated after 2 weeks for me. Stay close to this site. It is your life line.
Still, remember to take this quitting thing one day at a time. It may sound cliche, but it is so true. "No tobacco today" is a very simple motto and an attainable goal. No "I'm gonna quit forever" promises, just a simple "for today, I'm gonna stay clean" statement.
It is a realistic goal that each of us can achieve. At 495 days, I still make a daily promise of "no tobacco today". This simple statement has helped me gain the freedom I so desperately wanted ... it works. Anyone can quit tobacco for a day. Quitting forever is darn near impossible. Guess what? No one is asking that of you. Just say "no tobacco today", mean it and stick to it. Simple. Difficult at times, but not complicated.

QT's Warm Fuzzy Thought Of The Day.......or just idle ramblings from a fellow quitter, you decide:
On the drive to work this morning my mind started to wander a bit. No crave, no passionate desire, no intense longing for tobacco, just a few idle nostalgic thoughts, as I sometimes have. "Hmmmm, what was so good about that shit, I don't remember, musta been something I liked about it, something it did for me?"
You all know what I'm talking about, those little thoughts that sometimes lead to some sort of lame rationalization of why you should entertain buying a can and in a even worse scenerio having that "just one". All lies and bullshit of course, but in the back of your head from time to time.........anyway, cruising down the highway, kind of in a daze of sorts, watching the sky. No, big clouds, no chance at all for rain, 100+ degree weather forcasted each day for the next week, dryer than hell.
I look to the right, and there it was..........a friggin' rainbow in the middle of the Summer morning sky over to the Northwest. I did a double take and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, it was still there. Message from someone watching over me?
Symbol from God? I dunno, but I know damn well it was not a sign to give in to the lies and contemplate killing myself with the can again, that is for sure. I'm glad someone above watches out for idiots and little children, or I'd be gone from this earth a long time ago. B)

All lies and bullshit of course, but in the back of your head from time to time.........anyway, cruising down the highway, kind of in a daze of sorts, watching the sky. No, big clouds, no chance at all for rain, 100+ degree weather forcasted each day for the next week, dryer than hell.
I look to the right, and there it was..........a friggin' rainbow in the middle of the Summer morning sky over to the Northwest. I did a double take and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, it was still there. Message from someone watching over me?
Symbol from God? I dunno, but I know damn well it was not a sign to give in to the lies and contemplate killing myself with the can again, that is for sure. I'm glad someone above watches out for idiots and little children, or I'd be gone from this earth a long time ago. B)
Maybe looT was in town?

This isn't going to be as hard as you think it is. The toughest part is making the decision. Put those cans down and start living.

I made it through the day and the conference calls without reaching for the crutch.
My request for a cat to kick is still standing though.

Hey guys, so what do I expect for tomorrow....day 3. Today is kicking the living piss out of me. My current state is sweaty for no reason, and hungry, even though I just ate a bag of popcorn, graham crackers and saltines. When does this shit mellow out?!?!?!

Hunker down and get ready for tomorrow, it's likely to be pretty tough. Use the last 2 days as your motivation to get through it. As long as you stay quit, you'll never have to go through this part of it again. WATER, WATER, and more WATER.
-
Thanks for the pep talk. I'm on my 50th glass of water today. (slight exaggeration, but it feels like alot).
I wish I had the knowledge of what this would be like when I was 16 years old and being offered my first dip. Things would have gone down a LOT DIFFERENT..
-
Morning y'all ! Happy Friday !!
But you don't and it isn't russ, so now make it different. Stick this quit and sart a new tobacco free life my friend. 'winker'
-
Happy Friday in deed. I've got the day off and I'm still dip free.
I hear ya Russ, the cravings have been brutal. SMC mint, water, chewing gum, cheezits, and doritos are helping curb the urge. SMC needs more cayenne to give it a better burn to help trick my brain into thinking I've just loaded up with skoal.

I just quit on 8/8/07. I am having a dang hard time. I am about to go to work and am fighting the urge to stop and buy a can before I get going. My head hurts, I am one mean S.O.B. today all because I want what I hope I refuse to get. I started 34 years ago when I was seven and have tried to quit numerous times before but with little success. This is the first time I have ever tried using something like this. I know this is going to be rough and after reading the thread I know that I can lean on some friends here. My "friends" will be telling me today that no one likes a quitter and offering me their can.
Good luck to everyone today, fight the good fight!! Stay strong!! I had a friend that kind of adopted me when she was 78. She was a constant inspiration. She died about 2 years ago but always used to tell me "Don't let the bastards get you down" when the going would get tough. I will remember her and her words to help me get through this day.
-
I hear ya man. I'm on day 4. Day 3 was pretty shitty. Hang in there, you'll make it. Those fuckers offering you a dip need to visit this site.

you quit on 8/8 so this is day 3 for you... historically the worst day of a quit. the good news is that you'll NEVER have to go through this again - as long as you don't cave! head on over to november 2007 (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=411) and introduce yourself to your quit group.
hang in there!!! it does get better - i promise.

THE DECISION
Quitting dip comes down to one thing... a decision to quit. I can't spell it out any simpler than that. Sure, it's much easier for me to say that today now that I've quit than it would have been on day 1 or day 10, but every day that goes by, I believe it more and more.
I'm not here to tell you that the decision is easy to make because it's certainly not. There are some days when the decision is downright nearly impossible to make. But it's a decision that needs to be made no a daily basis.Â
There are many things in our lives and in our quits that we have no control over. We can't control the weather, we can't control how people view us, we can't control what happens at the office, we can't control whether we are sick. In our quits, we can't control the withdrawal that we go through, we can't control WHAT symptoms we'll experience nor can we control how long those symptoms persist.Â
To look at it that way doesn't look good. But remember... the decision.Â
You can DECIDE to put a dip in.Â
You can DECIDE to NOT put a dip in.Â
You can DECIDE whether you want to continue to be a slave to the can.
You can DECIDE to LIVE your life WITHOUT dip.
I've had conversations with other quitters and cavers. I've been asked what makes me different (than someone who's struggling). The answer is simple... I made my decision. I'm not any stronger, I'm not any better and quite frankly I'm not any different. I'm an addict just like all of you... I made my decision. I made my decision this morning just like I have every morning since July 24th, 2006. I'll make a decision tomorrow as well.Â
When you're thinking that quitting isn't possible... when you're thinking that everything is out of your control and you NEED your dip... make a decision.
You're in a place where people can help you once you're made your decision but we can't make it for you. We're here to help.Â
DECIDE to let us help.
DECIDE to not dip today.
DECIDE to live life WITHOUT dip or chew.
DECIDE to live.
This thing is simple -- it's decision time my friend...

Hey everybody! I gotta say, so far day 3 is not being as cruel as day 2. I think cuz I'm riding the high of not having to stress out when my wife comes home (stress that I missed a spitter, or some other dip evidence....I wrote in more detail in my group post). But that rush made me realize that there are some real kick ass benefits to no longer chewing!
I just need to prepare for when the shit hits the fan. I feel like it might just jump up on me when I'm least expecting it.
-
chewie's tip of the day
Take it one crave, one day at a time. Tell yourself you're done and JUST DO IT!
-
the weekend is coming... are YOU ready?!?!?
ladies and gentlemen - another weekend is upon us. MAKE SURE that its a dip free weekend. when you're out with the boys and away from the boards it's very easy to slip up early in a quit. alcohol has been the downfall of MANY a quit.
the boards are generally pretty dead during the weekend - do NOT take this to mean that the vets aren't thinking about you... HAVE A PLAN. make sure you've got phone numebrs... if you need one, pm me and it's yours.
a well placed phone call has saved MANY a quit - it's nearly impossible to put a fatty in while you're on the phone with a brother.
stay strong... see you on the flip side.

To think in 145 more days it'll be a year since I quit such a disgusting habit! Tomorrow we're getting a family portrait for my mom. I can really smile knowing all my accomplishments. Love ya, guys! Thanks so much! :D :D

Day 2, staying strong. Packing my face with sunflower seeds every 45 minutes or so. Reading alot too. its Rough cause with my job, I work for 24 hours straight. I work EMS. This whole month of august, during my 24 hours shifts Im stationed at a base literally by myself in the southern end of the county. I run maybe 2 calls per 24 hour shift on a QRV (quick response vehicle) which is a chevy tahoe. Its pretty cool to get to come down here and have a slow month after 3 or 4 months of bustin my ass on an ambulance up in the busier cities, but when Im not running calls, there isnt much else to do. Watch TV, Sleep, bring DVDs, Surf the web, you pretty much have to find a way to stay occupied. Well, this is the station where I usually get massive amounts of chewin done. I used to sit here at the computer for hours upon hours dippin one after the other. So it feels a bit awkward right now not having my Grizzly, but so far im OK. I hope no one minds me rambling like this, it kind of helps. Time for more sunflower seeds.
-
Ramble on, whip! I'm on day 5, and without a place to vent, like this, I would be screwed! Hang in there! Drink tons of water! That helped me out alot.
-
Man, what a day its turned out to be. Im nearing the 48 hour mark from when I had my last dip and Im startin to feel pretty crappy. Im anxious, fidgety, cant sit still. I've burned through a bag of sunflower seeds today and my tongue is sore from rubbing against the straight edges of the shell halves after you split open it with your teeth. Whats even funnier, is that I even attempted to make my own non tobacco dip out of stuff i found here at the EMS base. I cut open a teabag and emptied the tea leaves onto a saucer. Then I mixed in a little maple syrup, salt, sugar and just a few drops of water and before long, i had created in front of me a rich, dark brown, sticky yet grainy textured mound of pure shit. Laughing at myself I worked up a pinch with my fingertips and packed one in. It actually tasted pretty good but it really had no more effect than the sunflower seeds did. I left it in for a few minutes simply because id gone to the trouble to make it, but it made me realize that I really am addicted to the nicotine, which I told myself was BS for years. It has helped to come on here and rant a little bit. I have only had one call today in almost 12 hours. That means the shift is almost half over. I had to drive past that fast phils on the way back to the base where I usually stopped to buy Grizzly. Im scared to even go in there to buy a drink because Im scared that Ill cave if im that close to it. My mind has been playing games with me. Ive visited the cancer pics link several times today to keep myself in check. My brain keeps telling me to look how many people dip compared to how many people end up with cancer. Its probably closer than i think, but thats the little battle going on inside my head right now.
-
HANG IN THERE WHIP!! It definitely gets easier. I have found that doing something to preoccupy my brain has helped quite a bit....the second my brain has down time, it reminds me about dipping and tries to rationalize with me. It's crazy. Exercise or any other activity where your whole attention is on the activity may help.
Stay strong!!

Hang tough man! One more day of pure hell and then the slow climb to recovery will begin. That third day was a fuckin' killer. But you only have to do it once. Get a number in case you need a swift kick in the sack to keep you straight...let me know if you want mine, I'd be glad to oblige! 'nutkick'
Stay strong bro, one hour, one day at a time.

What a day I just got back from meeting 3 other Hall of Famers in Boston, it was the first time I have ever met a Quit Brother (s). 11X4, 03, GMS met today for a few beers and some food and it was great. We toasted 2 new HOFers and 2 - 1 -years. Well, GMS is a bit past that but what the hell. My 1 year is in just over a week.
We had a great time and I urge anyone that is close to other quitters to get together. It is cool, fun and worth the effort.

Whew, yesterday was rough, and today is the dreaded day 3. I didnt get much sleep last night at work so I plan on sleeping through a good bit of the day today. The Sunflower seeds are gettin real old, but nonetheless keeping me occupied. I ordered a can of that non tobacco Hooch snuff, should be here in a few days. Till then I'll just keep suckin on these seeds. I feel pretty good, just tired. This, when I get home from work in the mornings, is when I would usually sit down at the computer and put a dip in. Its funny because when i first wake up in the morning, Ive forgotten that Ive quit for the first few seconds. Then reality hits. Like I said, Im hoping to sleep a good bit today. Wish me luck guys...

there's no luck in quitting my friend... it's all about willpower and making a daily decision (http://www.killthecan.org/facts/chewie01.asp) to stay quit.
also, if you don't want to wait the couple of days for your hooch to show up, you might try smokey mountain snuff - it can be found in most wal-marts right next to the real stuff.

Keep it up, quit Brother! Just remember, you DO want to quit and you don't want to go through those first 3 days again! And you definitely don't want to waste what you've already gone through. Stay strong PM me if you need a quit brother who's pretty much at the same stage you are!

Morning everyone.
Well here I am at 4:20 am and have been awake since 2:45 am. Went to bed at 12:00 am. I want to sleep but I am wide awake feeling like I lost my best friend and got kicked in the head at the same time. This isn't all bad though because it helps me realize how much control dip had, notice I said had, over me. I am done I just have to get through this initial crap. It helps coming here when I feel like this seeing who else is dealing with the withdraws too. Have a good day!

morning merlin - what you're experiencing will actually HELP you later in your quit... you'll be able to remember just how bad this part of your quit was, and you'll NEVER want to go back... it's what we refer to as "embracing the suck".
hang in there... it DOES get better.

Smokey Mtn Herbal Snuff = AWESOME.
Today is day 4. Ive worn out my mouth with sunflower seeds over the past 3 days and I was literally about to go crazy. Ive got a can of hooch snuff ordered that will probably take a few more days to get here. So I took chewies advice and ventured out to my local walmart, where sure enough, right there next to the dreaded real stuff, there was smokey mtn tobacco free snuff. Being that i was a Grizzly man, I got the wintergreen. When I got back out to my truck, I used my all too familar thumb nail technique to slice around the paper labeling around the can. It looked kinda weird at first, but then I went for a pinch, and it was surprisingly soft, not at all like the mint snuff which is hard and sticky. I put some in, and Ill be damned if it didnt just feel like I had popped in a wedge of grizzly. It even had the "burn" from the pepper they put in it. I was very much pleased and relieved at the same time. Relieved that I now have something besides sunflower seeds to fight the physical cravings. I recommend it for all former skoal, grizzly or kodiac dippers.

glad to hear that it "scratched the itch" for ya. anything that makes quitting easier is ok in my book.
i was a kodiak man and strangely enough my favorite smc flavor was straight. the wintergreen was too sweet for me, i was never big mint guy and the straight was right up my ally. weird, cause i was never a cope guy. oh well.
keep on keepin on... stay quit my friend!

Well Day 4 is drawing to a close. Ive used the smokey mountain herbal snuff a few times today when my triggers would kick in. Its been more than helpful and helps me to get my focus elsewhere. I can feel my body detoxing itself of nicotine, I had a terrible headache this evening. Its weird, because no matter how crappy I feel, its still a pretty good feeling knowing that your body is on its way back to where its naturally supposed to be. Ive got another long work day tomorrow in complete isolation, but Ive got my smokey mtn and a new found sense of awareness and will power that will carry me through!

Well here it is, the end of Day 5.. Guys I cant help but feel like Im cruising here. Today has been by far the easiest day, and I was worried it was going to be one of the hardest cause Id be working by myself again. But Ive had my smokey mtn with me though out the day, and I dont think my brain has actually realized that theres no tobacco or nicotine in that stuff. Ive just cruised through today without even thinking about it that much. Its like I never needed it. Now, with all that said, Im not possibly stupid enough to think Im out of the woods. I realize its a day to day quit and if i get too ahead of myself, Im liable to cave at the most unexpected moment. Im simply stating that today was a great day, a tobacco free day, a nicotine free day, a guilt free day. Looking forward to tomorrow! Thank GOD I found this place....

As esay as it may seem, always remain vigilant in your quit. A crave is a sneaky thing and will come at you when you least expect it. On another note, not everyone has the same withdrawals. You may indeed be one of the fortunate ones that it doesn't bother. It still is best to never let your guard down. And congrats on the quit !!

Well here it is, the end of Day 5.. Guys I cant help but feel like Im cruising here. Today has been by far the easiest day, and I was worried it was going to be one of the hardest cause Id be working by myself again. But Ive had my smokey mtn with me though out the day, and I dont think my brain has actually realized that theres no tobacco or nicotine in that stuff. Ive just cruised through today without even thinking about it that much. Its like I never needed it. Now, with all that said, Im not possibly stupid enough to think Im out of the woods. I realize its a day to day quit and if i get too ahead of myself, Im liable to cave at the most unexpected moment. Im simply stating that today was a great day, a tobacco free day, a nicotine free day, a guilt free day. Looking forward to tomorrow! Thank GOD I found this place....

As esay as it may seem, always remain vigilant in your quit. A crave is a sneaky thing and will come at you when you least expect it. On another note, not everyone has the same withdrawals. You may indeed be one of the fortunate ones that it doesn't bother. It still is best to never let your guard down. And congrats on the quit !!
yep... odt's got it right. for the majority of us, here's a snapshot of the first 100 days (what to expect (http://www.killthecan.org/yourquit/what.asp)) -- however, you may be one of the lucky ones that never has a bad days.
more likely though, some of these symptoms will hit you at a different time. hang in there... i'm SO happy that you had a great day... hopefully tomorrow will be just as good!

Day 8 is upon me... and I feel terrific! Day 4 was the last difficult day I had. Im still doing this one day at a time, but somehow this has been not so bad once I got past the first 4 days. I went through 1 can of Smokey Mtn herbal snuff over about 3 days, and yesterday my can of mint hooch snuff came in. I cant decide which one I like better. I think the Hooch looks and feels a little bit more like the real thing, but I never was a fan of fine cut. Hooch is very fine and for me is difficult to pinch. But once you get it packed in, its hard to tell the difference other than the taste, which is well.... herbal... nonetheless good though. After this can of Hooch, I think Ill be ready to go without anything in my lip at all. I feel like the oral fixation has been more than half the battle here, but now that the nic is totally out of my system, its easier to fight off the cravings just to have something packed in my lip. I may keep a can of Smokey Mtn around, just to ward off evil spirits that might be looming over me the very second something horrible happens in my life and makes me want to cave. I will say that God is good. Ive spent a great deal of time praying about this decision Ive made to quit, and I think God has smiled upon me for not killing myself anymore and allowing His plan for me to seek itself out. I will pray for you guys too (if thats cool) Again, thanks for all the support you all have given. I definitely wouldnt be this far without you!

Great job Whip. I QUIT 33 days ago Cold Turkey. What really helped me was those stardisk mints. The round ones that are candy cane color. I had a bag of those by my side and when I got the urge I threw one of those in my mouth. No other candy worked for me. GOOD LUCK and STAY QUIT.

good monday morning quitters! it's the start of another DIP FREE week!
-
Yes it is Monday and the start of week 3 of being dip free.
I've recruited one guy to quit, he's on day 6 and another dipper is thinking about quitting since I'm on day 14 and I haven't come to work with an AR-15.
The bonus this week is a 3 day weekend. I think I'll fire up the smoker for some ribs, brisket, or pork butt.

I like it a lot. I mix the Mint and Spitfire and it gives the same effect as Skoal. A nice burn from the tabasco and the mint flavor softens the fire just enough. It tricks my lip and brain into thinking I just threw in a big fat lipper. It's not as sweet and gummy as SMC. Well worth the wait time for mail delivery.
-
spitfire hooch looked like the best out of all of them. i'm going to order a tin and not expect much. thank you all for the feedback. i need something besides seeds to suck on. 'boob'
-
I may start ordering online...I just bought a can of SMC Wintergreen at the local Ralphs. (By the way, I've found SMC at only ONE of 5 Ralphs that I went to). When I got it home, I looked at the expiration date: 11/05!!!!!! And there was a peel off coupon that expired December 31, 2005! What the F?!?!?! They've been holding on to that shit for WAAAAAAAAYYY TOOOOOOO LOOONG!!

i've got this lil red sore on my upper gum right above one of my teeth and idk wut it is...the only time it hurts is when i touch it...and i dont understand how it got there becuz chew doesnt go anywhere near the top of ur mouth...i dont know if its the start of mouth cancer or not but im scared to find out
-
am i the only one who occassionally put chew on the upper lip. i did this so i wasn't always putting it in the same place. i didn't feel much when i did this and didn't need to spit, usually. and this wasn't the pouches, it was loose kodiak straight.
-
I tried it once on the upper lip and it went all over my mouth.
-
First off....... Morning quitters !!
Now as for placing the dip in upper lip? I did once in a while. I kinda liked the different sensation it gave.
And knight? Go find out what it is. PERIOD ! It may be nothing, it may be the start of something, but catching it early is the key. The placement of the chew/dip is just one factor as you have to remember the juice itself is not confined to the same spot all the time. Bottom line, go to the Dr's, Dentist, whatever and find out NOW ! Feel free to pm if I can help in any way.
-
Good Morning Quitters!

Morning all! 8 hours till my three day weekend!!!!!

Good morning all...
Thought I'd come over and check things out over in the killthecan.org world..... 'jj'

first off, calm down. it's most likely nothing to be worried about. HOWEVER, you shoudl definitely go and get it checked out by at least a dentist but preferably an oral surgeon. like i said, it's most likely nothing, but if it is something it's better to get it checked out sooner rather than later. oral cancer is one of the most treatable kinds as long as it's caught early.
keep us posted!

Knight - Forgive me, I know you are a member but I don't recall seeing you on roll in a while or maybe ever. Well I assume you are quit, but if you are not. QUIT NOW. Also, get to your quit group and post roll with them and shoot the shit as well. We have a lot of discussions about sores that pop up. 98% turn out to be nothing, just your mouth's PH returning to normal. Still if the sore remains for over a week, get it checked out.
Now GO TO YOUR ROOM 'finger point'

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY
I was a dipper. I was worried I would die of cancer. My Blood pressure was through the roof and my gums were killing me. The looks I got from my wife, my kids and strangers made me feel like a second class citizen. I had a stinky spitter in my car, on my desk and next to my chair in the family room. I had a can in my car and a can in my pocket; I have the circle wear mark to prove it. One Year Ago Today, I was sick and tired of being controlled by a product in a can that was costing me five bucks a day that most likely would kill me, one way or another.
That was One Year Ago Today. As I sit here now on day 364 days quit, I look back to who I was, what I was and I am sad, I am happy. I am sad to think what a waste of 15 years were and what my priorities were. I am happy because tomorrow I will have been nicotine free for one year! Yes One Year!
One year is a damn nice start, just 14 more to go to make up for the time I spent wasting my life on a can of shit. I know I am not healed. I know I can not have just one. I know I owe my quit to this site and the great people that give their time here daily and those who just pass through. I know I am quit for today and the odds look damn fine for being quit tomorrow as well.
Tomorrow; I rarely look at tomorrow in respect to my quit, but today I feel confident about tomorrow. Tomorrow I will be quit, I will be quit for one full year and you newbieÂ’s may be asking how we make it a year; we do it like you, one day at a time.
Sure, in the beginning itÂ’s hard as hell but it does get better.
1 Year Recap:
Day 1 – 4 Pure hell on earth – but not as bad as I feared
Day 5 – 13 Days each got better and feeling ok, just a bit of fog
Day 14 See Day 1- 4.
Day 15 The best day so far in my quit to that point
Day 16 – 29 Cruise control quitting
Day 30 QUIT
Day 31 – 69 Found that helping others helped me. “Pass it Forward”
Day 70 – 78 The Funk, just bored with quitting
Day 79 – 99 Fast track to the Hall of Fame and feeling good, still having some craves
Day 100 No way to describe your HOF day. Happy, proud and worth the effort
Day 100 – 199 Flew buy and enjoyed being a “vet”
Day 200 Hit the 2nd floor and feeling great
Day 220 Welded the door closed – No more craves at all.
Day 300 Hit the 3rd floor – So cool
Day 365 Only tomorrow will tell – One day at a time
One thing I can tell you is the only wear mark on my jeans pocket is from Orbit gum.
Yes you can quit, you Can Beat This Addiction. Yes it is damn hard work for a while and there is a new trap or trick around every corner for a while but it can be done, just look around this place. You will find that the car will start without a dip in, the lawn mower will still cut the grass, the deer will still love you and the fish will jump into your boat. 97% of the people in North America do all these things their whole life without even thinking about a dip and so will you soon to. Are you ready? Are you really ready to save your life, for you? I dare you to sit here like me 364 days from today and tell us what your first year without dip was like. Can you do it? Will you do it?

I know I owe my quit to this site and the great people that give their time here daily and those who just pass through. I know I am quit for today and the odds look damn fine for being quit tomorrow as well.
Tomorrow; I rarely look at tomorrow in respect to my quit, but today I feel confident about tomorrow. Tomorrow I will be quit, I will be quit for one full year and you newbieÂ’s may be asking how we make it a year; we do it like you, one day at a time.
Sure, in the beginning itÂ’s hard as hell but it does get better.
1 Year Recap:
Day 1 – 4 Pure hell on earth – but not as bad as I feared
Day 5 – 13 Days each got better and feeling ok, just a bit of fog
Day 14 See Day 1- 4.
Day 15 The best day so far in my quit to that point
Day 16 – 29 Cruise control quitting
Day 30 QUIT
Day 31 – 69 Found that helping others helped me. “Pass it Forward”
Day 70 – 78 The Funk, just bored with quitting
Day 79 – 99 Fast track to the Hall of Fame and feeling good, still having some craves
Day 100 No way to describe your HOF day. Happy, proud and worth the effort
Day 100 – 199 Flew buy and enjoyed being a “vet”
Day 200 Hit the 2nd floor and feeling great
Day 220 Welded the door closed – No more craves at all.
Day 300 Hit the 3rd floor – So cool
Day 365 Only tomorrow will tell – One day at a time
One thing I can tell you is the only wear mark on my jeans pocket is from Orbit gum.
Yes you can quit, you Can Beat This Addiction. Yes it is damn hard work for a while and there is a new trap or trick around every corner for a while but it can be done, just look around this place. You will find that the car will start without a dip in, the lawn mower will still cut the grass, the deer will still love you and the fish will jump into your boat. 97% of the people in North America do all these things their whole life without even thinking about a dip and so will you soon to. Are you ready? Are you really ready to save your life, for you? I dare you to sit here like me 364 days from today and tell us what your first year without dip was like. Can you do it? Will you do it?
Brilliant. Inspiring. Thanks! And Major Congrats on ONE YEAR!!!

Thanks Fran,
I'm on day 69 and can relate to maybe being bored with the quit. I never really looked at it that way. I am feeling good, but will keep my guard up.
Dip is Suck!!

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY
I was a dipper. I was worried I would die of cancer. My Blood pressure was through the roof and my gums were killing me. The looks I got from my wife, my kids and strangers made me feel like a second class citizen. I had a stinky spitter in my car, on my desk and next to my chair in the family room. I had a can in my car and a can in my pocket; I have the circle wear mark to prove it. One Year Ago Today, I was sick and tired of being controlled by a product in a can that was costing me five bucks a day that most likely would kill me, one way or another.

what happened on day 14 to cause you pure hell like the 1st 4 days?

Day 14 - The Nic bitch seems to grab your head and trys to tell you that you can't quit. No one will know if you have just one. Go get a can and don't tell, it will be ok. Well, it was a all day fight and it seems to be very common with guys and gals who have been throught it. Just tell the bitch to fuk off and the next day will be great.
Cheers!

lets get this quit started! what are ya waiting for??? there is no day like today to save your life~

anyone who would lie on here if they caved is only cheating themselves. i can understand lying about use if you're in a treatment facility you don't want to get kicked out of, or if it's a significant other who pressures you to quit. i understand some people on here know each other personally. but lying to strangers on the internet about tobacco use seems very childish to me. do we get a cash reward and a free trip to hawaii if we make it to the 100 day hof?
-

Seems like your above statement answers your question. I wonder why you think that anyone here is lying about not using tobacco.
-
do we get a cash reward and a free trip to hawaii if we make it to the 100 day hof?
no you do not get a cash reward or a trip to hawaii, you get the satisfaction of being able to say you have been clean for 100 days and the possibility of not getting cancer and dying or losing half your face. JJ

julie jan, i was responding to franpro's statement below when he responded to me about his 14th day. i don't think anyone is lying about their use on here. also, i was being sarcastic about the hawaii trip and cash reward. the point i was trying to make was exactly what you just said.

17 day funk.... is upon me. _
This morning on the way to work, I felt like I wanted my old life back. The one that used to look forward to that 30 minute drive to work in the morning, the one that said "atleast Ive got my Grizzly to keep me company". Im even missing the little things, like bending the little tab on my soda can back and forth until it comes loose then dropping it down into the can officially converting it into a spitter. I guess this is called the "funk". I have no intentions of caving, Ive come so far theres no way in hell Im turning back now. Ive got some Smokey Mtn left, but im just kind of bored with it. Im bored with Sunflower seeds, bored with hard candy. I promise I wont cave though, no way.

power through my man... a couple of bad days and you'll return to feeling great. what you're going through now is what i refer to as "re-definition" - you need to re-learn how to live WITHOUT dip... you need to re-introduce yourself to the REAL you... the one without dip.
if you're like me, many of the things in your life you've NEVER done without dip (driving, mowing the lawn, etc.) as a wise man once said "you must unlearn what you have leanred."
just remember this though - we're here for you... hang tough amigo!

So, who told you quitting would be easy? Funny, everything I have read here says it a pretty hard fukking thing to do. Over the past year, I found the quitting is a hell of a lot harder than dipping. Dipping is easy. Got five bucks? Get a can and dip, hide in the bathroom. See easy. Lie to us, lie to your wife, etc. See easy.
Now quitting is hard damn work!!!!
So get to it! No one said it would be easy, but it can be done. Look around you, there is proof all around you.
Now shut up and quit!!!!!
;)

September will be easier...
This whole month of august, Im stationed all by my lonesome at a base in the quiet south end of the county. Normally, its called "the vacation station" because this is where us medics get sent about every 4 months to kind of regroup and cool off after running hard at busy bases for 3 months straight. We work 24 hours on, and 48 off. So we work about 10 shifts per month and spend that entire month at an assigned base. This is when my triggers are going nuts. When Im sitting here, watching TV, reading, surfing the net, or doing reports from the few calls I actually run here, is when I would usually burn through about half a can. However, next month, I return to the busiest base in the county, which leaves little downtime. Ill be so busy running calls and doing reports that I wont have much time to dwell on my long lost friend mr Grizzly. Because nobody knew that I dipped, I tended to dip a lot less when working at busier bases cause I had to wait until I could get off by myself for a few minutes. Im actually ready for my month at the vacation station to be over with so I can get back in the shit and get my hands dirty. Not that i want people to get hurt, but staying busy will help me get out of this funk. And unfortunately, for me to stay busy, people have to get hurt or sick. Ive got one more shift after this one here at this base. I work again on the 30th, then I start at a new base on Sept 2. Bring on the Fall!

thursday's a GREAT time to quit dipping!
-
It has been 9 days. When I quit chewing the first 5 days I had little cravings. I think I had enough nicotine in my system to last me those days. Going on 9 days the cravings have been worse. Nothing serious but I do have a plan when they come on. My biggest concern and why I never quit before was how was I going to function at work without chew. I went to work and survived those days and I feel great. I want to thank this website because it has helped tremendously in quitting. I feel great.
One thing I learned on this website is that the lawnmower will work without chew.

amazing isn't it? i was pretty sure for years that mine was powered by kodiak rather than gasonline!
coming up on double digits... CONGRATS!

Hey notgod, how'd you make it through last night?
Did the dirt and tabasco sauce help (kidding - and don't try it - especially if you have ANY sores in your mouth. It will take your mind off of any crave you might be having though.)
One week and 13.285 to go to HOF. See you there December 07s.

One thing I learned on this website is that the lawnmower will work without chew.
I've got a brand new lawn mower it didn't work. I had to get a special attachment for it - A LANDSCAPER! It works fine, now. 'crackup'
Seriously, though, I hear ya on having to do things without chew. Pretty much if I wasn't sleeping or eating, I was chewing. Every time you do something for the first time (after you quit), it seems "different" can be difficult. I was able to get through those "firsts" by cramming my pie-hole with seeds or shredded beef jerky. I will continue to use both until I am, in the words of chewie, "re-programmed".
Got a tough one this week-end. Our Fantasy Football Draft Day is on Sunday. This "Holy Day" starts with a round of golf followed up by the actual draft. We finish the day with hours of Poker. I have never done this day, which usually lasts about 24 hours, without more than 5 minutes without a dip in. Good thing I've got this site a plan or I would've already bought the Kodiak planned to take a day off! Instead, I will tell the nic-bitch to sit back while I take LT with my #1 pick and check-raise the suckers when I have rolled-up trips!!!

Got a tough one this week-end. Our Fantasy Football Draft Day is on Sunday. This "Holy Day" starts with a round of golf followed up by the actual draft. We finish the day with hours of Poker. I have never done this day, which usually lasts about 24 hours, without more than 5 minutes without a dip in. Good thing I've got this site a plan or I would've already bought the Kodiak planned to take a day off! Instead, I will tell the nic-bitch to sit back while I take LT with my #1 pick and check-raise the suckers when I have rolled-up trips!!!

You've got a good quit on Bat you'll do fine this weekend!
Istn't it amazing the things you can do that you thought you couldn't without dip?

Did you guys ever suffer from joint pain after quitting? The past few weeks my left hip and knees have been aching like a bee-atch. At the end of the day, it throbs. I went to the doctor and the x-ray looked good, but I'm wondering if the lack of nicotine has anything to do with it. Just curious. Did you guys ever experience any kind of wierd joint pains????

Come to think of it, yeah I did. Hips, knees, and knuckles as I remember, although it could be signs of something else that was masked by the influence of nicotine in your system.

Interesting you say so, Russ. I used to have a lot of pain in my shoulder (lots of wrestling injuries in HS College). I stopped noticing these pains just after college - about the same time I started chewing full-time. Since I have quit, I have had aches in my shoulder that I haven't had in about 16 years.
I wonder if nicotine is any kind of painkiller? Anyone else know anything about this?

Chemical dependency and subsquent withdrawal can cause temporary joint and muscle aches...not sure if this is what you are experiencing, but literature on withdrawal says the pains should gradually subside 1-3 months out...Heavy abusers of alcohol and other substances commonly list muscle/joint pain as a withdrawal symptom.
A doctor's opinion would never hurt though!

This is all good to know! Thanks all! I'm on Naproxin for the next couple of weeks. If that doesn't end up working, they are gonna do an MRI. I'll bet it's from the withdrawls, though. FUCKIN CHEW!! 'bang head' 'bang head' 'bang head' stupid stupid stupid

Anybody know how long nicotine can be detected in the blood? I've heard 3 months, I've heard up to a year. Anybody have an official answer?

Good Sunday Morning fellow quitters, Anyone who ventures in who is not yet quit today is as good a day as any to start quittin. Sunday September 9, 2007 .

I'm not sure Russ, I think I heard Chewie or someone say you have to be nicotine free for 6 months for insurance purposes otherwise you can not claim to be a non-chewer/smoker. I'm not sure if I got the time frame right or not.
I bet he or one of the other old timers will give you a definate answer on Monday.

We just re-did our Life Insurance you are right, JJ - they said I had to be nic-free for 6 months wouldn't re-test me for a year. They officially claim it takes 5-6 months to leave the bloodstream my agent says (unofficially) it takes anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months, depending on how much was in your system to begin with. Once I test nic-free, they have to test me for the next 2 years to make sure I can continue to qualify for the non-nic discount.
Get this, too - when my agent first questioned us I told him (proudly) that I was a non-smoker. Knowing damn-well that they would test me for nicotine, I said nothing when the results came in I blamed the agent for not asking me if I chewed!!!!!! I'm such a silly little addict! 'embarrassed'

That's funny. I always enjoyed being able to be HONEST with my wife, when I came home from a night out...dipping all night....and being able to answer "NO!", when she asked if I smoked.....
Thanks for the info guys! I'll definitely wait it out.
-
happy monday quitters! remember... don't think of monday as the beginning of another work week, think of it as the beginning of anothe DIP FREE week!
-
A friend of mine ;) quit dip and passed the nic test on day ten. He tells me that drinking 2 quarts of real cranberry juice 75% pure or better the day before, will detox the body and mask the nicotine :P . His agent only asked if he was a smoker.
He is a close friend and is still nic free.
-
In Memory of Cliff - We miss you buddy and thanks for your help!
-
chewie's tip of the day
Remember that you have control over your decisions. It's up to you whether or not you dip. You can do it, no matter how long you've been a dipper. Quit!
-
Let's get with it "Guests". No better day than today to quit, why put it off? You know that you want to, you know you should...................and you should know you have to, if you want to live...............how many years have you spent living on borrowed time owned by Ol' Queen Nicotine? Any number is too many. Walk away from tobacco today. Be done, be finished, be through, be FREE. B)

Life............It is just too short.
As I age, as I grow smarter, as I experience more - I realize how true those things are.
I learned something very sad and disturbing today.
A man I have worked with...Not "a man"...More like " a guy"...Oh, he was full grown. He had a wife. He had 3 kids. He was a good guy. He was younger than so many of us.
He was from Houston. He came to Denver so I could train him in operations. We spent time together and got to know each other.
He was a man. He was a guy. He was a friend.
He is dead today.
This bothers me very much.
Due to work and activities, I have been able to push this tragic fact to the back of my mind for most of the day and night. Alone now, I have time to reflect.
I wish I didn't.
I don't know where to post this. I don't know how many will read it or care. I guess I just need to say my piece.
My friend is dead. He died of kidney failure. It was not expected. It caught everyone unaware. As I said, he had a wife and 3 kids...3 kids....That brings tears to my eyes and chokes me up.
He didn't smoke, drink, or dip. He drank iced tea and loved his family....
We all were poisoning ourselves for years, yet here we are. Alive to read this.
We've all heard it many, many times. Life is too short.
We've been messing with karma for too long, yet still we are here and mostly fine...
Stop messing with karma. If you are reading this, you are hopefully quit. If you aren't quit - do it now.
My friends death has nothing to do with dipping, but it brings so many important things to the fore front...
Priorities...Sometimes it takes terrible things to make you see what they really are. You are the priority. Take care of yourself so your family and friends don't suffer.
I don't want to lose any more friends. So, so, many of you mean so much to me. I couldn't stand to lose you.

One of the wisest decisions you will ever make. Congratulations and welcome aboard the tobacco-free express........one way ticket, no refunds. I too, used to partake in the evil bag of goodies from time to time as well as being a slave to the tin, I was a slave to the pouch just the same, thinking it would get me away from the tin. Logical, right? Nope, nic is nic, and it only took 25 years of being bound to that shit for me to figure it out. I'm glad you're here, and glad to see another brother in arms against tobacoo. Stay strong and vigilant, you'll do just fine. NEVER AGAIN!
The Quit Is Good, Pass It On.

Take care Rem, and be well.

I miss everything about my Red Man now. Even the picture on the bag of the Native American who has a somewhat sad look on his face. Sometimes he would come out of the bag and talk to me. I could relate to him. He would listen to me tell him about all of my problems while I chewed my cud into nothing, and not say a word. He wouldn't judge me, or get bored with me; just listen. His face is all it took for me to open up about anything; everything. He was a good man, a quiet man, a reserved man. I am glad I saved the last bag I had, so I can keep looking at this man's face when I'm lonely with no one to talk to.

Maybe if he has a hole in his cheek, or half his jaw, like the rest of us are going to have if we keep chewing, that picture might not be so appealing. You have plenty of people to talk to. Been there.
-
I have no one to talk to actually. Nobody wants to hear about my problems at work or anywhere I go. I am not sure if talking about it would help. It just reminds me of the pain and horror that I feel. Also, I have acne now, which I haven't had a problem with since I was about 19.

A no-good lying stone-faced fucking bastard that will sneak up behind you and slice your throat open from the inside out!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:
Stop the nostalgic bullshit now! It will kick your ass when you least expect it. Toss out that empy fucking pouch and start living the quit-life. Don't get quit and try to re-live your past. Close the fucking door, nail the fucker shut, and be done. _

You have hundreds of folks to talk to, right the fuck here. Everyone wants to hear about your problems right here. Come here, let it out, share the madness with us. We will understand. We have been where you're at, your quit bros. are where you're at. We are your shoulder to lean on when the shit hits the fan. Use the tools.
Piss on the acne, get some of that "Proactive" shit that Jessica Simpson uses. Pimples beat the hell outa cancer. It's probably just your body detoxing.
Fuck Tobacco and the black horse the muther-fucker rode in on!!!!!!!!! :angry:

D…sounds like maybe you are getting hit pretty hard with the depression aspect of quitting. The “I lost my best friend” routine was one LOOT perfected, so…LOOT feels like he has some legs to stand on when he offers this advice. Go see a doctor bro. That is one person who you can talk to. Tell him how you feel and ask for some help. He’ll hook you up with some meds to calm the depression and ease the anxiety/panic attacks. LOOT tried the majority of the antidepressants. Lexapro worked best for LOOT. LOOT also took some Xanax to help with the ample rage. There is no shame in taking some meds for a couple months, LOOT did about a 6 month stint of antidepressants and in a lot of ways, they saved the world from LOOT…and more importantly saved LOOT from LOOT.

I took Zoloft when I was 17 for depression and all I can remember is I couldn't get a hard on for the life of me (not that it mattered). I was then switched to serzone (had to look it up it's been so long) and it didn't have the sexual side effect, but it didn't work at all for depression. If it doesn't get better in a month, then I will see a doc.

2 wordsÂ…
Lexapro
AndÂ…donÂ’t wait a monthÂ…you obviously have a history with depression and you know itÂ’s not going to get better donÂ’t you? So why put yourself through it if it can be avoided? Make that appointment today. Get the scrip this afternoon and lift the burden..
DisclaimerÂ…LOOt is not a doctor. LOOT has played doctor tho.

Stop dipping for you no on else. Keep the promise you've made to yourself. Reward yourself along the way, because each step taken toward quitting is a big accomplishment.

Dig deep. No one said this was going to be easy, but it doesnt, I PROMISE, it doesn't last forever- as long as you dont feed the beast.

well, fellas, this is day almost 1 for me, I have tried 100 times in the past and have not made it, but am buckling down this time, have mae it 19 1/2 hours so far since my last dip! and that's a record for me, could use some encouragement so I am glad I found this website

Welcome Skoaldaddy! If it is encouragement you want, that's what you will find. There is no almost about it, this must be day 1. Buckle up, tomorrow and Thursday are going to be quite a ride. Drink tons of water and spend a ton of time on this site reading and posting. Most of all, pay very close attention to how much what you're going through sucks. At the end of the suck, that memory will help you stay quit.
You can give this shit up, but you really have to want it. Do you want to save your life?

I tried 101 times before doing what you did today (came to this site), so you have that going for you. Welcome, post roll.

Welcome to the fold SD ! A quit is a wonderful thing. It will be hard but you have found people who are glad to help. Just reach out and anytime you are in doubt be doubly sure you talk with someone on here. We have all been through this, but we are proof it can be done.
-
Well, i have made it to day 2 with much thanks to y'all on here and your comments, they have been very, very helpful!!!!! Last night was a bitch, had a hard time sleeping, kept waking up every 20 minutes or so and tossing and turning, not mention that it had been a constant battle all night to not break down and go to the gas station and buy a can, but thank God I have made it past the 36 hour mark I appreaciate the support, I don't really know anyone else who understands how hard this is and how it can affect us!

Treat your quit like a full-time job. Use every tool you have at your disposal (including KillTheCan.org!) and you can be successful.
you've got 4 more days to join the december 2007 (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=517) hall of fame class. don't you want to hit the hall in 2007?!?!?!

My suggestion is for this site to condemn the use of nicotine replacement therapy. One of the links from your site does condemn their use. People who use this should not be encouraged to post until they discontinue the use. It would be like if this was a heroin quit group, and some people posting roll were popping morphine pills. I will post the link in a few minutes which talks about how nonsense NRT really is.

dimi - the "official" position of killthecan.org is that NRT's are "allowed" as long as the appropriate plan is being followed. what we do NOT allow is for people to continue to chew the gum or use the patch well after their scheduled program is over to continue to post roll.
you are correct -- we are against nicotine in all it's forms. posting roll on a daily basis is your promise that you will not use nic in any of these forms (dip, snuff, chew, cigs, cigars, gum, patch, spray, inhaler, etc.)
as far as i know, ALL NRT programs are no longer than 8 weeks - that being said, there should be NO ONE posting roll past day 56 with ANY form of nic in their body.
prior to day 56 you will see some dissention between members here - some say it's ok to use NRT and some say it's not.
as i said, the "official" position of the site is that's it's ok.
personally, i believe you should get rid of any and all nic as soon as possible - that's when you can really begin the healing process.

http://whyquit.com/whyquit/links/LinksAAddiction.html (http://whyquit.com/whyquit/links/LinksAAddiction.html)
I'm not just against the use because it seems to be "cheating" or makes it easier. I don't think it works well for people. I feel good to have the nicotine out of my system. I am only on day 11 and my sleep is returning to normal.

gotcha - as i've said many times before, i chewed fake snuff for a good 180+ days or so into my quit. while i still have a can or two around these days its use is VERY rare for me at this point. and quite frankly its not even cause i'm craving -- more of a conditioned response to mowing or working in the yard.

I know that. I think that no matter how a drug is administered, it is still the same drug. Some people withdrawing from heroin are given methadone as a medical treatment. but No one is going to die if they go cold turkey from nicotine. Nicotine raises the blood pressure, and is therefore bad for you.

Almost afternoon quitters!
I found a spitter this morning that was about 3 months old. If anyone needs some penicillin shoot me a PM.

Hello all, Ijoined the site last night and this is Day 1 for me after a 30yr "nasty Habbit" my name is Robert but my friends call me "RB".
-
44 days down, never thought I would be able to say that! Im still using the smokey mountain 2-3 times a day just to keep the oral fixation beast tamed. And hell, as long as Im not packing my face with that poison then whats the big deal right? Ive gotten 2 other guys I work with, one of whom dipped for 25+ years to quit using smokey mtn snuff. With them quitting too, it has been a lot easier on me, since work is where I could dip around a few people and didnt have to hide it. Now when we're hanging out at the base bullshittin and telling stories, we all throw in a pinch of smokey mtn instead of the real stuff. I havent been able to post roll as much as Id like because this month Im stationed at an extremely busy base. But I promise that Im just as quit as I was on day 1 and I havent looked back. Almost half way to the HOF and Im enjoying the ride.
-

Welcome RB, you will find a lot of strength from reading the posts of other quitters like yourself. I found tons of strength just reading that there were so many people that had gone through the same things I was going through during my quit. I encourage you to browse through the archives and read other peoples stories. Oh, and doing so with a can of Smokey mtn herbal snuff really helped take the edge off some of those cravings for me. You can get it at Walmart, its right there next to the real stuff. Peace....and best of luck!

the weekend is upon us folks!!!
stay on course this weekend friends - this place tends to die down but that DOES NOT MEAN we aren't thinking about you... be strong, use the tools that you have at your disposal. make a plan - use those phone numbers (if you don't have one, pm me and it's yours) it's NEARLY impossible to cave when you're the phone witha brother.
see you on the flip side with those dip free lips!
chewie's 3 step cave plan
there's been a lot of talk about plans here lately... here's mine.
it's been put into effect many times over the last 400+ days.
feel free to copy and modify to fit your needs.
step 1: take picture of son out of wallet. look my son in the face and tell him that i love dip more than i love him.
step 2: take out killthecan.org business card, read the words and REALIZE that i'm letting each and every one of YOU down.
step 3: call each of the 60+ killthecan.org phone numbers that i've got in my phone and get PERMISSION from each and every person to have a dip.
P.S.: i've never had to go past step 1
-
the weekend is upon us folks!!!
stay on course this weekend friends - this place tends to die down
Die down????. 'crackup' I think it is just plain dead this weekend.
Any new quitters out there? Now is a good time to jump in and get started.
It'll be easier for you today, that way you should be up to speed by Monday when this place is going full speed ahead!
Today is as good a day as any to get started.
What are you waiting for?
Come on lets go!

Good Afternoon to you sir.
It will get better!
I am having a good afternoon. What kind of work do you do?
-
Work at an air seperation plant in CA. Rotating shift work, which is why IM here!
Basically though, we seperate air into oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. Thats it. :D
-
I did some contract work for an air company here in Houston. I was working with computers and not the air. :)
Are you feeling any better?
Here is some info that might help you along. It is said that it takes approximately 72 hours for the nicotine to leave your body. If you are not already there, you are very, very close. Drinking a lot of water at this point can really help you along.
-
Yeah, we have a 5 gal jug and Ive gone through about 8 12oz cups already. mouth still feels salty though.
-
That is the way it goes sometimes. You will find that things are going to start tasting a lot better. It is amazing how bad the nicotine screws your system and taste buds up.

i noticed it is very dead on the weekends. that is when I have the most free time and want to cave the most. i've been having a harder time just sitting still during my quit. walking always helps but i'm still finding myself pacing when i start thinking about dip.

That's why I offered you my number the other night in chat. It's still available, all you have to do is PM me. But before you do, make certain you are serious about quitting.
-
We seperate air, by pressure and temperature. Basically, we compress the crap out of air, clean it, cool it down to liquifaction temperature(which is like -180 C), then seperate it. It seperates because each element has a different boiling temp, like water has 212 F, oxygen is -280 F, argon is -298 F, and nitrogen is -320 F. So it seperates itself. Then we distill it, down to 99.9995% purity. Then liquify it, and store it. Customers use it to freeze stuff, to make stuff non flammable(inert), to breathe(Oxygen in hospital) and so forth. Sorry if thats too technical.... :wacko:

not too technical for me, i got a B in chemistry when i was in high school. i still remember some of that stuff from labs. physics was way beyond me though, i didn't know what was going on. your job sounds interesting and i wish i had it.

Loot is a bully
wtf chief?
loot is outraged by your insensitivity to fellow quitter

Yeah, its a pretty neat job, but pretty boring also. I get to look at a computer screen all day, the computer actually does the thinking, and i just make sure it doesnt F' up and put one of our purities in the shitter. I also have this designated rep license, because the product we make is considered medical product. So I get to release all the shipments leaving the plant.

just an update - truck has no compression in the #2 cylinder - this means essentially i need a new engine.
fuck.
guess ol chewie's plans for waiting until the new year to get a new truck have been moved up a tad. throw in the broken air/heat unit, the remodeled bathroom and i'm just rolling in cash these days!

start painting that bengal B on stuff in your garage and selling it on ebay. you know, not everyone in the natti fires on all cylinders. maybe you should paint the truck orange and black and weld your grill on the back. tailgating machine! prolly get more than you paid for it on ebay.

Car problems suck ass. I don't care how great life's going, just when you think it can't get any better, something will go wrong with your ride. Left work a couple of weeks ago, and the driver's side window on my Jeep just fell down into the door. WTF?? It's not like I slam the door or anything, or abused the power window. After a pain in the ass trip to the dealership, they failed to hook up the power mirror (which is now pointing down at the ground) and I have to go again. I guess I should be glad it's not a new engine. Feel for you, Chewie.

chewie, i know texas is a lot hotter year round. we get some hot summers with heat waves in the 90's. i will be prone to a relapse this winter when it gets cold cloudy and dark most of the day. if i lived in a warmer climate, i might never have smoked or did drugs. i hate cold weather when the sun doesn't shine. the government should do a study on climate and drug/alcohol/tobacco use. i think more people here drink because we get more depressed in the winter.

the weekend is upon us folks!!!
stay on course this weekend friends - this place tends to die down but that DOES NOT MEAN we aren't thinking about you... be strong, use the tools that you have at your disposal. make a plan - use those phone numbers (if you don't have one, pm me and it's yours) it's NEARLY impossible to cave when you're the phone witha brother.
see you on the flip side with those dip free lips!
chewie's 3 step cave plan
there's been a lot of talk about plans here lately... here's mine.
it's been put into effect many times over the last 400+ days.
feel free to copy and modify to fit your needs.
step 1: take picture of son out of wallet. look my son in the face and tell him that i love dip more than i love him.
step 2: take out killthecan.org business card, read the words and REALIZE that i'm letting each and every one of YOU down.
step 3: call each of the 60+ killthecan.org phone numbers that i've got in my phone and get PERMISSION from each and every person to have a dip.
P.S.: i've never had to go past step 1

GabeJonathanmyboys,
Welcome aboard. I invite you to come into the January 08 Quit group and post roll. Posting roll is your word to your quit brothers and more importantly yourself that you will not chew today. Spend some time and get to know us and know our bark is worse than our bite ;)
I'll see you over there. If you need some assistance, hit the PM button below this message.

Yes, welcome welcome, but remember that your boys might be inspiration but youve got to do it for yourself!
Just my thoughts, James

Wow~ 278 days .. it's so amazing. I don't think about my old dipping days that much but every now and then thoughts do creep into my mind. I suppose it'll always be like that. My son's demeanor has worsen. My sanity seems to slowly slip away but I know in time I'll be able to get through this. I have to for my son's sake. My husband is just not coping well. I feel mostly like single parent. I go to work. I do everything for the boys - homework - playtime - drs appts .. etc. I also started treatment for the bipolar disorder. This too, has ripped pieces of my marriage away. I am not well. And he still believes that I can fix myself. I can only do so much before I break.
You see not having my dipping habit has thrown me in all kinds of directions. The time I spent dipping was my solitude - my peace. And at this very moment I find no solitude or peace in anything. I am lost. Severely depressed and hopelessly lost. I started anti-depressants and a mood stablizer. I won't start seeing any results for 4 to 5 weeks, if then. It might take time to find the right medication and treatment. Please don't judge me by stating this is a frame of mind and every one goes through ups and downs. - - Yes, that I understand but my ups and downs are extreme and frequent. On occassion I could have them both at the same time. My Dr. doesn't know how I've coped for this long. He is amazed at my will to survive. Now it's just finding the right path for both me and my son. All I know is that I've been through some really rough - I mean terribly rough days ... and dipping wasn't an issue. So if I can endure this at 278 days quit .. then you too can prove that dipping shouldn't be an issue in your life as well.
Ps) I hope everyone is doing well. I wish you all much love, peace and happiness!

With the season being over this is time. I have to be honest, I am really hurting right now but its time to stop the 2 can a day habit. Thanks to everyone on here!

Iuchewie. Thank you for the welcome. I am WideGlide, yes its a Harley thing, But I also go by Griff. I am on day 13 of my 3rd attempt to quit in over 28 years. The other 2 attempts were because others wanted me to stop chewing, I did not want to stop chewing. This time I want to save my life.
Nicotine will never enter my body again. I appreciate the support and advice anyone can offer... There seems to be alot of triggers I need to get around. Fishing, Riding, Camping, Hunting, Driving. You cant catch fish with out a chew in can you? How about simply sitting at your desk trying to work.... What was I doing again? Oh yea.. Quitting!!!!!
Peace,
Griff

stay on course this weekend friends - this place tends to die down but that DOES NOT MEAN we aren't thinking about you... be strong, use the tools that you have at your disposal. make a plan - use those phone numbers (if you don't have one, pm me and it's yours) it's NEARLY impossible to cave when you're the phone witha brother.
see you on the flip side with those dip free lips!
chewie's 3 step cave plan
there's been a lot of talk about plans here lately... here's mine.
it's been put into effect many times over the last 400+ days.
feel free to copy and modify to fit your needs.
step 1: take picture of son out of wallet. look my son in the face and tell him that i love dip more than i love him.
step 2: take out killthecan.org business card, read the words and REALIZE that i'm letting each and every one of YOU down.
step 3: call each of the 60+ killthecan.org phone numbers that i've got in my phone and get PERMISSION from each and every person to have a dip.
P.S.: i've never had to go past step 1

Wow~ 278 days .. it's so amazing. I don't think about my old dipping days that much but every now and then thoughts do creep into my mind. I suppose it'll always be like that. My son's demeanor has worsen. My sanity seems to slowly slip away but I know in time I'll be able to get through this. I have to for my son's sake. My husband is just not coping well. I feel mostly like single parent. I go to work. I do everything for the boys - homework - playtime - drs appts .. etc. I also started treatment for the bipolar disorder. This too, has ripped pieces of my marriage away. I am not well. And he still believes that I can fix myself. I can only do so much before I break.
You see not having my dipping habit has thrown me in all kinds of directions. The time I spent dipping was my solitude - my peace. And at this very moment I find no solitude or peace in anything. I am lost. Severely depressed and hopelessly lost. I started anti-depressants and a mood stablizer. I won't start seeing any results for 4 to 5 weeks, if then. It might take time to find the right medication and treatment. Please don't judge me by stating this is a frame of mind and every one goes through ups and downs. - - Yes, that I understand but my ups and downs are extreme and frequent. On occassion I could have them both at the same time. My Dr. doesn't know how I've coped for this long. He is amazed at my will to survive. Now it's just finding the right path for both me and my son. All I know is
that I've been through some really rough - I mean terribly rough days ... and
dipping wasn't an issue. So if I can endure this at 278 days quit .. then you too
can prove that dipping shouldn't be an issue in your life as well.
I hope you get to feeling better soon. Your right in the fact that if you can endure what you have gone thru quit, dipping would not improve the situation any. Thanks for sharing. JJ
Ps) I hope everyone is doing well. I wish you all much love, peace and happiness!
Thanks JJ!
When I wrote that I was saying to myself, "You know how much harder can it get?"
My mom called me at work Wednesday and proceeded to tell me that for 5 weeks she has been having tests done and that Thursday she needed to go in for a biopsy and needed me to be with her. I was shocked. Everything went well. Actually instead of doing a needle biopsy of her breast the Dr. did what's called a core biopsy and removed the whole mass for testing. We should know that results this coming up Thursday. Please keep my mom in your prayers!

Sorry guys and gals.... My post from last night (12:46AM) did not make much sense.
So we are quitters... I say COOL... yet those in our lives want us to continue in our everyday normal activities... I am not normal right now... I am on a major withdrawl from nicotine.... shit should be illegal.... if it was coke or meth i'd be in jail... rant rant blah blah... sorry.
I was playing pool at my favorite bar... me and a buddy were playing a $20.00 table with some other locals. Brad, our oppenent chews and he knew I did. Middle of the game he throws a pinch in a the tosses his can to me. I said No Thanks... he immediately starts talking shit... I threw his can back at him like a frisbee and hit square between the eyes... Lid came off... Cope is all over the table... Fight was on...
Peace people... keep on keepin on the quit....

I did have some trouble figuring out your prior post.
I hope you won the fight with that asshole!
Even if you didn't win the fight with the asshole, you won the fight with the nic bitch 'Remshot'

Finally got through a friday night without caving, feels really good. Now if i can only get through a sunday football watching session without it. So far so good. Great to see everyone making progress on their quits, for me if i can get through an entire week it would be extremely rewarding.

Nails,
You know what I have learned during this, my first football season with no chew? The beer still goes down smooth, the chips taste better, and the Bears Chiefs (my favorite teams) still suck!!! Really, the football games will still entertain, the lawnmower will work (thanks, chewie), the fish will still bite, the shotgun will still kill deer, the paperwork will still get done, the car will still work, etc........ Stay Strong.
Very Truly Yours,
BAT

first sunday without chew, BAT your right the beer definately still goes down smooth and my house is alot easier to clean without all those nasty spitters around. day 6 and going strong

Happy Monday Quitters. ;)
Morning ALL... Hope everyone had a good weekend!!!

morning quitters! remember... don't think of monday as the start of a dreaded work week... it's the start of a DIP FREE week!
-
chewie's tip of the day:
You have to want to quit more than you want to dip! Take it one day at a time! Day by day, it will add up to a wonderful, dip-free life!
-
Okay Crew and you vetrans... There is No impending cave... I will beat this Nic Bitch... I need advice... I have zero patience, I feel like I am raging... Acts of stupdity by others are pissing me of versus helping them work through the problems at work...
My girld friend told me she has felt like I am looking for an arguement just for the sake of argueing
has anyone gone thru the same? What works? Look forward to your thoughts and comments
Wideglide... aka Griff 18 days going on 19 tomorrow.

You are going through the nic rage. It is not something that I experienced much. The best that I can tell you is to take it out on the vets here. We will not take it personally.

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....
chewie

You are going through the nic rage. It is not something that I experienced much. The best that I can tell you is to take it out on the vets here. We will not take it personally.
I know right where you're at bud. Everything in the world is pissing you off. Loud noises, quiet noises, stupid people, smart people doing stupid things, just people in general on the street piss you off. The ones you love piss you off, the dog pisses you off. Hell, the sun coming up in the morning and blinding you in the eyes pisses you off. You're just pissed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look, don't take it out on those close to you, come here, vent, blow off some steam, we can take it, we have been there. That goes for anyone at anytime, not just during the "Rage-Stage". It will come to pass just like all the other negative aspects bombarding your systems right now. The improvement you have seen in the last 19 days will increase 10 fold in a month, and the sky is the limit when you're free from nicotine. It just takes patience, will-power, and good friends. B)
-
you'll NEVER have to go through days 1-3 again... as long as you don't cave.
Exactly, dip rage shouldn't persist past about day 5. Maybe day 7 at tops. If it does, then whoever experiencing it is just an angry person to begin with. That's my 2 cents.
-
your entire world is shakin' up, we all jacked with our minds and bodies for years, or even decades. the can controlled what we did and when we did it. some of us had a wedge packed in all day...I need a fatty to calm down, I need a fatty to wake up, I need...
...that is all BS. The point is, after screwing ourselves for years, it is going to take some time to push through. Rage is common around here, it is different for everyone. You are changing...you will need to deal with it. Don't take it out on your family and friends, they didn't make you stuff your piehole with snuff. it might take a couple/few weeks for us to adjust. it is a mental game now.
post, vent, talk, discuss, whatever you need to do. it will pass, it is different for everyone. it is all good amigo, push through and it gets better I swear.

Griff,
I would like to pass along a method that a vet, who goes by Elric, gives out. First, vent rage on this site as much as possible. If that doesn't help (it never would for me), take your rage out on someone who deserves it that you have no problems burning bridges with. For me, incompetent subordinates and foolish customer service people were my favorite. You must be careful, though. Realize that you will probably throw away any relationship with whomever you choose to vent on (except for us, here). CHOOSE WISELY!
Very Truly Yours,
BAT

loot, first of all are you serious? i get road rage too. i remember my first quit in the november group on the first day walking into wal-mart and wanting to collide with someone to start a fight. i really was ready to fight someone and decided to give up driving for the rest of that day. road rage has been a problem with me too, and i have pulled my share of stunts. you seem like a mellow person and it is surprising to hear that you get it too. bat i hope you only get pissed at the customer service people who deserve it, because some are nice and competent. quittin time i didn't say i knew a lot about quitting, just a lot about dip rage and rage period.

I'm still getting rage attacks on day 8, i lose my cool way more easily but its gotten way better, id say days 3-6 were the worst. quitting during the baseball playoffs and football season hasn't made it any easier on me, maybe i should have waited until february.
-Nails, quit date: 10/8

You serious? There is never a good time to quit. You can think of a million excuses to wait and LOOT is sure you have. DonÂ’t piss away 8 days of clean.

werd, there is never a convenient time to quit...there will always be something that tells our minds we should wait. push through the craves, push through the rage...packing your piehole with snuff as you watch your team isn't going to make them win. if they loose well, at least you won't be a looser who threw away their quit.
stopping for a couple days is easy amigos, but quittin' the snuff is tough. keep pushing and hang in there. the shit gets easier.

I hear ya on that Chewie. Before I quit, I "cut down". The first thing I did was stop having dips in the car. Since I have an hour+ commute (one-way, everyday), this was difficult. When I did quit, having that trigger out of the way was huge. Each trigger you beat down makes the quit easier!!!

the only thing that matters is making it thru today... Rinse, lather, repeat, rinse, lather, repeat... As far as craves or triggers go, I'm with looT, they still come after 440 days but they are like gnats. Its been said many times and by much better quitters than me but still rings true, "If I can do it anyone can".

i quit...not for me...for my wife and little girl..this is not easy but worth it. i'm glad someone makes fake dip

congrats, folks are successful here everyday...keep pushing, and be accountable...it is worth it.

epupdaddy,
Please reconsider your reason for quitting. Quitting exclusively for your wife will most likely lead you to failure.
Think about this: What are you going to do the first time your wife pisses you off? If the quit is for you, you are certainly going to think about dipping, if not doing it.
I quit for my wife several times. I kept going back within a few days. Today is day 22 for me. I've made it this far because I quit for me this time.
Want reasons to quit for yourself? Here are a few...
1. Being alive for your wife is a good start.
2. Being there for your children, if any.
3. Saving money. 22 days, almost $70. for me.
4. Cancer
There are more. Only you can find your kicker.
Think about it.
-
having a set routine definately makes it easier not to think about dip. im finding the busier i stay the less i think about it. i got through last night without caving and today is way easier, day 9, going on 10, stay strong everyone, it can be done, we have living proof all around here.
-Nails, quit date: 10/8

All fine reasons, but the number one reason is to quit for YOU. :)

After just one day without tobacco, your body has already begun to heal itself. Say "you're welcome." Your body is thanking you
-
It only takes three days for your body to completely rid itself of nicotine. Just think of all the other junk your body will have expelled by Day 21.
-
Update:
I'd like to thank everyone who prayed for my mom. She called me last night to say that the mass they removed was a benign tumor. What a relief! Now to take care of Matthew - His specialist appt is Oct. 25th. Not sure how much we'll find out in our first visit but it's a start in the right direction. (just think positive Nickie, right?) I started a plan of action for him at school. He'll now have a speech therapist and be evaluated to see if he needs additional help. I'm trying all avenues with help for him.
My wish is to one day see him smiling, laughing and enjoying life like a little boy should. He only gets one shot at a childhood. I love him and my family so much. I only hope it shows in all that I do.
Again, thank you! I love ya'll too! And I hope it shows!

stay on course this weekend friends - this place tends to die down but that DOES NOT MEAN we aren't thinking about you... be strong, use the tools that you have at your disposal. make a plan - use those phone numbers (if you don't have one, pm me and it's yours) it's NEARLY impossible to cave when you're the phone witha brother.
see you on the flip side with those dip free lips!
chewie's 3 step cave plan
there's been a lot of talk about plans here lately... here's mine.
it's been put into effect many times over the last 400+ days.
feel free to copy and modify to fit your needs.
step 1: take picture of son out of wallet. look my son in the face and tell him that i love dip more than i love him.
step 2: take out killthecan.org business card, read the words and REALIZE that i'm letting each and every one of YOU down.
step 3: call each of the 60+ killthecan.org phone numbers that i've got in my phone and get PERMISSION from each and every person to have a dip.
P.S.: i've never had to go past step 1

Heres to a clean weekend fellas,
Last weekend at about 1 am my friend had to help talk me out of going into 711 and buying a can, hopefully the temptation will get less and less as i get stronger and more committed to quitting.

Nails, It's a good thing there was someone there to talk you out of it. You will get craves that creep up on you and try to knock you over when you least suspect it. It does get less and less, and then more, then less, then more then less......

chewie's tip of the day:
Figure out your triggers before you quit and think of how you will react when faced with a trigger. You can do it!!!
-
Hey everyone,
Played a nice dip free round of golf this morning, no easy task but hey it feels good at the end. Don't worry no convenience store visits this weekend, i think the board would have my head haha. Anyways, thanks for the good words and is getting a bit easier. I think that before when I only quit dip for a few days, I felt less shame in quitting. Now that I have made it to day 12, I would feel alot of shame if I threw in a dip and started back at square one. Hang tough everyone, have a good saturday.

damn... it's a FINE day to be quit!
-
Killerattorney - Jim,
If you were ever my friend read ALL of this!
I should have known from the first incident early on in our friendship that something was wrong.
It was then that you went off on me and your friends about them talking to me and seeing photos
of me. Because of that, I pushed you away a bit but then I felt bad. Maybe he was just caught up
in the moment with being a friend and didn't want to see me get hurt. Yes, you have been there
for me through my quit. I am not denying that. The fact is you got too close as I said before. I
needed to step back because I felt like you wanted more that I could give.
You wrote I Love You in one of your letters .. which you said you didn't mean to do. What did
you expect me to do after that. I freaked if you remember. As time went on you wanted more time,
more chat, more phone calls ... I felt like I was letting you down if I couldn't do something you
wanted. I asked you to not contact me because right now at this moment, I can't take this kind of
pressure .. it's just too much!
And even after the I love you incident you pushed .. you pushed and asked if we could maybe
possibly take "our friendship to the next level" and talk intimately. You already knew I was pushing
away from you then so why even freakin' ask me that type of question?
You make me want to never come back to either freakin' site.
I'm not doing anything here that's ohhhh soooo absolutely wonderful so I should just be on my way.
I'm am not sure if you understand but your actions make a reaction .. well this is it! Just STOP! You
said people have come to you and said to forget about me .. that you misjudged me! You said
that maybe I even used you. At first I cried really long and hard about it then I said FUCK IT .. you
fucking do what ever the hell you want to do or think! You are a grown adult. I asked you politely
to stop contacting me yet that first week you called me every fucking day sometimes 3 to 4 times
then you pm'ed me and yahoo msg'ed me to the point that I blocked you. I had at one time up to
17 voicemails saved from you. I got Myspace Tracker and as of 5/22/06 you've visited my profile
62 times. Not even my best friend Jen, who leaves me comments has visited my page that much.
Her visits have totalled 8. Compared to freakin' 62 .. hmm .. and my page hasn't changed any.
So? .. Why look at it so much? You've begged and pleaded to be friends with me to the point that
it's sickening. That you'll do anything to be my friend again. Jim, don't you see friendship isn't like
that? You shouldn't have to beg for it. I'm not worth it ok. I've never been worth it. I don't amount to
anything other than plain ole' ass dogshit. And nobody wants dogshit. So stop it! Just stop all this.
The pm tonight was the last straw. I printed it out and it was 4 fucking pages long!
FOUR! I just don't know how to tell you other than this .. you are overpowering, non trusting self-centered
individual. Tonight in the chatroom you said you didn't know why I left after I came in and saw you.
SEE! It's always about YOU! I didn't leave because of you. It was storming here and the power
went out for about 10 minutes. Please stop doing this to yourself! Don't call me, .. don't pm me,
don't email me, don't look at myspace for me .. I'm NOT going to be there. I simply can't.
You've pushed me to the point that I had to write this to get it out there. Leave Me Alone! Ok?
If I have to I'll change my cell and my home number. I'll leave this site.
I want you to stay quit and I want to stay quit.
now I check and you send me a msg'ed that someone in my group caved and they don't go to QSX .. (so that narrows it down) for me to call you and you'll tell me ... ???? Just tell me Jim .. why do I have to call you .. just fucking tell me ..
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ..
if they said it was alright to tell me like you said .. then why not just tell me .. I am too fucking emotional ,,, I can't take you doing this shit ..
just like this crave you had for a few days .. and my son wasn't doing very well at all .. I didn't call you and you freakin' went off on me basically tellin' me that you weer there for me but I wasn't there for you .. You have other resources I am NOT THE ONLY PERSON YOU CAN TALK TO .. but you said .. that I WAS the only person that could get you not to cave. If you CAVE it's not MY fault. Do you see how you come across ...?? why can't you see that? why? I have to go I feel like I am going to be sick .... Just stop it .. pm me whoever caved .. then leave me to FUCK ALONE! ... Pronto!

First of all, I'm not ridiculing those who chew. If you don't mind mouth, stomach, or throat cancer and are looking to have your tongue removed or a hole in your face patched up in a few years, then go for it. All I'm asking is that you be mindful of the people around you. It's bad enough that some people work up loud, thick, gross mouthfuls of mucus and spit them out while you talk to them, but now the spit is dark brown and sometimes has chunks of the tobacco in it. Either way, it's gross.

good morning quitters! think you're having a shitty day? imagine all of what you're dealing with... now add cancer. did you day just get better?
-
chewie's tip of the day:
Prepare to quit - read everything you can about quitting and the addiction to nicotine. Realize that you are NOT alone!
-
Choosing to quit is personal. Its about your health, your habits and your ability to take control of your life. Keep making that choice every day.
-
Good Morning Quitters. Let's do this shit one more time, quit for today, and today only, NO TOBACCO TODAY. B)

Feeling good about quitting? Your body is. You’re on your way to becoming a quitter—the good kind of quitter. So stay with it. You’re worth it.

WG,
"I REFUSE TO CAVE." There you go, right there, those words, your words. Tobacco is not an option, you can long for, want, remenise nostagiclally for your 'ol little buddy in a can, but it's all lies and bullshit. The nicotine has no
control over your systems any longer. It's just the left over scars on your
brain cells fucking with you. YOU DO NOT NEED TOBACCO. Plow through
it just as you always have.
QuittinTime.

I posted this at the other site but I forgot to here after I posted roll today! Just to give you somewhat of an update.
Matthew and I return to the specialist today. Matt begs not to go. I can't blame him since he has been to so many. I just try to reassume him and hope that he'll trust in me. To know that I love him with every breath that I take. But still he gets mad at me. My other two boys get upset because of the time it takes away from them. Needless to say I'll update you after todays appointment. I do have to say that there has been some improvement with the medications but there has also been a downfall to that.
When you have a positive - a negative follows close by. Such is life, right? If we didn't have those little bumps in life to overcome then we would never gain the strength, determination or willpower to overcome the large mountains within our future or the wisdom to help others.
See what you get when I start rambling. (laughs) None of that probably makes sense to some since you don't know my circumstances. But take the last little part of my message with you because it will help in your quit!
Thank you for all your prayers!

Day 313
Tonight:
My son's anxiety controls every moment of his life. It's every sad to watch something so precious go through complete hell. Whenever I say specialist actually I am referring to a psychiatrist - for both Matthew and I. It's hard to comprehend the fact the we both are dealing with this. When I say Matthew's has anxiety out of control. I'm talking that I can never be too far out of his sight. If I am within another room, I can always hear him calling for me, "Mom - you still there?" He can not close the bathroom door. I can not close my bedroom door. If we go any where he is constantly asking how long it will take. (Normal for a 9 year old, right?) But with Matt it's every few minutes because he is worried that he is going to miss out on something. If my gas is low, he will repeat several times to me, "Mom, please get gas." "Mom, you really need to get gas." We have never ran out of gas so I don't understand him worrying about that. It has affected him at school. Constantly asking about where I am. If I'll come get him after school. His brother is in the same class. If Tyler goes to the bathroom at school, he'll want to know where he is at. He is always in a state of panic that he can not focus on daily living, smiling or just being a kid. It's very hard for him to make friends or keep friends. They don't know how to react when Matthew gets upset and goes into a rage or cries/whines over the simplest of things. We've tried all kinds of meds. Some gave him extreme phobias especially of bugs. Some made him talking about how he didn't want me to kill him. Still others gave him the impulsiveness to try and jump out of my van while going 60 mph telling me he wanted to go into the woods. It's stressing. It's tiring. It's confusing. It's down out right draining.
I'm not sure if you are aware of bipolar. It's extremely hard to put into words the constant roller coaster of emotions. It's hard going through it myself but to watch my sweetheart go through such turmoil is so heartbreaking.
A little over 6 weeks ago, I came to my lowest of all lows. When this usually happens I have thoughts of death and not being here but this one time I felt I was at rock bottom. I didn't want to go on anymore. I wanted to end it all. I called several people from the site but no one was answering but then again it was 1:30 in the morning. I finally got ahold of Mikey from Killer's group. Hell, I even called Killer. Mikey though calmed me down. He just listened to me and didn't make judgements. He gave me some hope that leaving this world wouldn't do any good - not for my boys, my husband, family or friends. I would leave my son to go through this disorder by himself. It was my wake up call. My marriage which has had it's share of ups and downs like many go through, actually is at it's breaking point. My husband believes I can fix myself. That Matthew can fix himself. It's all about mind over matter. Just like with he said with my addiction to smokeless tobacco. I can't make him believe something that he doesn't believe exists. Before my quit he would say, "You can quit this crap. You're not addicted. You are weak." I've went to the library and gotten books. One even for his point of view. It's called "Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder." He won't even pick it up. I'm so very tired. I'm so drained. My boys either have a happy outgoing mother or a lifeless piece of crap of a human being. I can't imagine having to live with me. The stress I must put on my husband and boys.
Like I said, it's hard for me to put into words the emotions one goes through with this disorder. When a normal person is happy, my emotion is extremely happy to the point that's out of control with no consequences. I spend money on things I don't need. I am extremely sexually. I feel beautiful, seductive. I feel so positive I could tackle the world. I have so many ideas and I take on extra projects because I feel euphoric. It's over the top. I don't sleep. I simply can't. During these times I might get 2 to 3 hours sleep and wake up ready to take on the world again. This will happen for 3 to 4 days before finally my body gives out. On the other end when someone is sad over something maybe even mildly depressed, I feel as if my world is crashing down on me. I feel ugly. I feel like the worst mother in the world because I can't even get out of bed in order to fix supper, clean house or play with my boys. I go to work and try the fake smile but there are times that I just can't cover it up. I withdraw from family and friends. I withdraw from things that I love like writing or reading. I withdraw from this site. I just want the pain to go away. I just want to disappear.
There are few stages bipolar, I have mixed cycles or rapid cycling. I could go through two extreme emotions within a couple of weeks.
I started my mood stablizer 6 weeks ago. Today they increased the dosage. I'm still emotional but I can honestly say I feel a difference. I'm also on an antidepressant. A low dose as not to put me into a manic episode. I have to take my ADHD medication still. Once the Dr. can get my moods somewhat under control then he'll wean me slowly off it. If I have trouble with impulsiveness, not being able to focus, etc. Then I'll go back on that medication. Which basically will mean I have ADHD and bipolar. It's rare but it does occur within some individuals. He told me that my childhood abuse had nothing to do with this. This disorder wasn't creating the way I was brought up. I have a mental chemical imbalance and will have to take medication the rest of my life. That's the part that is hard, because when you feel good, .. you think wow! I don't need this I can stop .. I'm doing good. But I've been down that road before and it doesn't work that way. The tiring part is that Matt is going through the very same events as I. I didn't mean to write such a lengthy message but I haven't really ever talked totally about it until now.
Not sure if any want to even hear my little problems .. I understand there are so many that are less fortunate than I but still it's very hard to deal with on your own.
You feel lonely.
Very lonely.
Always,
Nickie

I posted this in Jan 08, but for those of you who don't get there today I'm posting this here too....
At 50 days IÂ’m looking at this thing and going wow. WhodÂ’ve ever thunk it? 50 days without Copenhagen. 50 days without my constant friend and companion. 50 days without my (so called) giver of life and happiness.
It has been 50 days, and while this warrants no official celebration, it does make me want to do something I feel I have been remiss in doing. Saying Thank You.
To the site owners and administrators, Thank You for keeping the site going. I may have done the heavy lifting for my own quit, but it was the help I found here when the burden was too heavy that has kept me going.
To everyoneÂ….
Thank you for being a part of my quit. The thing that has been great about coming here is the fact that you all are, at various stages, making this journey with me.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your quit. Helping you all actually helps me stay quit too. It also brings me great joy to see those days increment by one.
Thank you for listening to me while I bitched, even when it had nothing to do with my quit.
Thank you for chewing me out and setting me straight when I went astray.
Thank you for giving me a place to vent when the anger seemed so bad.
Thank you for keeping me honest and forcing me to keep my word. I truly believe that a few of you will find me and kick my ass if donÂ’t live up to my promises. (More on promises below)
Thank you for sitting up with me in the chat room. Sometimes we were serious, sometimes we had fun. But mostly we bonded.
Thank you for being my friends.
But mostly, thank you for being part of saving my life.
This journey is far from over. In many ways, it will never be over. But I am confident I will stay clean thanks, in part, to all of you.
I will end this with one promise (Told ya there’d be something else on promises). It is actually one I made a while ago, but I am reaffirming it. I promise that I will call each and every one of the phone numbers I have been blessed with since joining before sticking a pinch of dirt in my mouth. I will begin by asking your permission to resume killing myself. I suspect a few of you will say, “Yes you may” and even offer to buy me my first roll. :blink: But I also believe I will find most will say “permission denied!”
Thanks!

friday is upon us folks... are YOU going to be dip free this weekend? i am and i LOVE IT!
-
the weekend is upon us folks!!!
stay on course this weekend friends - this place tends to die down but that DOES NOT MEAN we aren't thinking about you... be strong, use the tools that you have at your disposal. make a plan - use those phone numbers (if you don't have one, pm me and it's yours) it's NEARLY impossible to cave when you're the phone witha brother.
see you on the flip side with those dip free lips!
chewie's 3 step cave plan
there's been a lot of talk about plans here lately... here's mine.
it's been put into effect many times over the last 400+ days.
feel free to copy and modify to fit your needs.
step 1: take picture of son out of wallet. look my son in the face and tell him that i love dip more than i love him.
step 2: take out killthecan.org business card, read the words and REALIZE that i'm letting each and every one of YOU down.
step 3: call each of the 60+ killthecan.org phone numbers that i've got in my phone and get PERMISSION from each and every person to have a dip.
P.S.: i've never had to go past step 1
-
I just don't understand it. I completely don't. I am so hurt right now. I honestly am! You all need to LISTEN to me really really good ... do you HEAR me?
I'm not here to make anyone give excuses or to make anyone feel badly for caving but don't you realize we are ALL in this together. When you take that first dip back into your mouth. You are actually saying to me. I don't give a shit about my quit or your quit. I don't give a shit about you or how my caving is going to affect you or make you feel. I want to be selfish and do this for me.
Well, there are other people that ... I am sorry .. that fucking count on you. Like ME! I need YOU to show me YOU can DO this because in return it shows ME I CAN do this.
When you cave it not only makes me so very upset to the point that I cry. Yes, I actually freaking cry sometimes I sob because whether you believe it or not I care about you and your life. Whether you care about it or not - I do! I don't want you to succumb to this deadly disease. This sickness. I don't know why people .. my friends .. choose smokeless tobacco over life .. over the others on this site. I can't put judgement on you. You are and will always be my friend. Just remember your actions speak louder than words. Your actions have consequences not just for you but others that count on you.
Others, like myself - have struggles just like you .. I endure bipolar, ADHD, I take medications for both, a son with the same illnesses who I try to breathe life into every day, a husband who hasn't even came to this site or supported my accomplishments with my quit only after I tell him, "Honey, today's 100, 200, 300 days for me" ... "Oh, that's great!" I endure seizure medication which I had to go back on due to my bipolar. My headaches would trigger some of my mania or depression episodes. My marriage that once was like a rock is about to crumble due to fights over money for medical, medications and therapy. Now times that money by TWO because it has to do with Matthew and me. I have to deal with the guilt every day that my other two sons resentment me because of all the time that is spent on Matthew and I haven't any help with my husband or my mother. My husband doesn't believe this is a mental illness and that I can fix myself. I can't fix this. I simply can't. Matthew can't fix this. He has anxiety to the point he can't close the bathroom door. He can't be left alone. He worries constantly about time - asking what time is it. He worries about how much gas I have and if the light comes on I must right then and there get gas or he'll flip out. He has tremors at night. I just try and rock him to sleep telling him I'll never leave.
It got to be too much one night two months ago - one in the morning. I was over the edge. I couldn't think straight. My husband and I had been fighting over why he never spends time with the kids. Why he lacks in helping me with Matt and myself. I feel like a single parent but with an extra income. I got in my van and I drove. In my low episode, I would think of death. How would they live without me. Who would cry? Hell, maybe no one. I'm forgettable. I'm just a burden. Driving around that night, I called so many from this site. Since it was very early in the morning, some just got a sobbing voicemail. I tried about 6 to 7 numbers and then finally someone answered. Someone whom I've never spoken to before. Through my sobs, I told him not to worry about me caving that wasn't an option. I just wanted the pain to stop. I wanted to die. Please just let me die. He listened to me. He didn't place judgement. He made me realize leaving this world wasn't the answer and that I am worth staying alive. He saved my life. This site isn't just about quitting an addiction. It's a full circle of quitting the habit, why we started dipping, the stressful daily struggles we endure when quitting and after, the triggers so we don't cave, and the complete knowing that others care enough - yes, they care enough even at one in the morning.
This new medication Matt is on has been the best. He came to me the other night and actually said, "Mom, I love you." I hadn't heard that in forever. I keep a full-time job in a very demanding school clinic. Bascially thrown into it without a single bit of training and said do your best. This is my second year with the school, I was nominated and voted the PTO president. OH my god, the pressure of that but they think I can do it. I was also nominated for Employee of the Year by faculty and staff. I was honored to make it to the top 3 for a run-off because it was so close out of 36 originally who were nominated. Some of these employees have been there 15 - 20 some years and never been nominated or let alone be in the top 3. So I consider that a very big accomplishment and that I am highly respected at my job.
How do I do all this plus stay quit? I haven't a clue. Honestly! Just like the day I said I didn't want to dip anymore. It just happened. So what keeps us quit? This site? More likely it's the accountability and friendships I've made, it's the ramblings, like this post which likely never make sense but it gets my feelings out, it's posting that number by my name in my group and showing those men (since I'm the only woman in there) that I am completely commited to them that I CAN do this and so CAN they. Don't prove me wrong. Don't sell yourself short.
Like before, I'm not sure what makes a person think about putting a dip into their lip after many days of a quit. I'm not quite sure what they think about. I don't think they realize how important their success in not caving is to them as well as my own quit. When you feel like giving up - call someone - make a post saying you need a little help. I want you to know that you can count on me!
Because damn it, I am counting on you!
I'm sure some have worse problems than my own but it's not going to make it better. Don't you realize that? Don't you realize how important you are to me and my quit? If you need me, I will always be there. If I need you, will you give me the same opportunity? The same respect? .... I hope so.
Sincerely,
mls

I apologize for venting like that! I was just a little disappointed at someone caving. I hope this person comes back and realize how much I care ..

MILESTONES
“One-Day-At-A Time”. Yep that’s how we do it. It’s simple we post roll everyday, preferably first thing in the morning. We give you our word everyday that we will not use NICOTINE today. After posting roll, caving is no longer an option (if your word is worth a crap). Well I have done one day at a time for over 450 straight days, but let me give you a little secret; MILESTONES. While everyday quit is a huge accomplishment around these parts, I find setting my sights on the next MILESTONE gives me a goal to hit and something to look foreword to. You would think after climbing 4 flights of stairs, 500 days quit would not be that big of a deal, right? WRONG. I am almost as excited about my quit group hitting the 5th floor as I was for us hitting the Hall of Fame.
So how can we be contradicting; “One-Day-At-A-Time” VS MILESTONES? Well that’s simple; you reach your MILESTONES by successfully quitting one day at a time. Funny thing, those single days really do add up to something very special to you and hopefully to your loved ones. MILSTONES for the most part are a personal achievement and others close to you may not see them as such a big deal. No worries, remember why you quit to begin with; YOU QUIT FOR YOU! Celebrate your successes and if the other people close to you don’t understand, who cares. You always have us to pat you on your back or kick you in the ass.
So go ahead and set your goals and celebrate your MILESTONES, just get there by quitting one day at a time. As our buddy Al says “this quitting stuff is worth it”.
So hereÂ’s to all the MILSTONES that you have already hit and to the goals that you have yet to achieve!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY QSX!!!

To those who read my poetry .. I hope you like.
Keep Making A Difference
Tonight as I glanced up into the sky,
I asked the Dear Lord, "Oh, where am I?"
There's a constant aching within us, can't you see?
Who's watching over the world? Who's watching over me?
I know that life is suppose to be what you make of it
but how much turmoil can we honestly take from it?
Some feel solitude, misfortune and despair.
In this world there are plenty that just do not care.
They think about themselves; rarely of others
yet shouldn't we all love like we're sisters and brothers?
Without thought, they speak harsh words and tend to blame.
They strive to be the winner like it's some sort of game.
In life, they want the most yet never think of the least.
So few breathe in the beauty. They succumb to the beast.
If instead of taking; one could give freely from their heart.
We'd have world peace, less hunger, more love and that's just a start.
As I laid there hopelessly gazing into the midnight sky,
raindrops began to fall like teardrops of a cry.
There, shining ever so softly within the darkness of night,
a tiny shimmer at first became a brighter light.
A voice spoke down from the heavens above.
It was ever so softly; filled with kindness and love.
"Dear child, I send you this light as a bit of hope and belief.
To soothe your aching heart and give you some relief.
Many angels guide the world throughout the night and day-
showing love to the ones who somehow lost their way.
These angels are my gift to the world. They're precious miracles of mine.
They soften hearts and open eyes one careful step at a time.
They encourage us to believe there's good in all and throughout.
They bless each morning to rid mankind of greed, hatred and doubt.
You see, my child you're one of these angels that I have spoken of.
Keep making a difference; filling each heart with tenderness and love.
And for every living creature is the reason I created the star.
It's light shows I'm watching and proves I'm not that very far."

Please visit Introductions and leave some feedback! I would like to know how others feel on this subject or if I am totally off the wall. I want your advice and expressions so when others feel like caving even if there is not a single person on this site they can go read that and know caving is just simply not the answer! I can't take another person believing that it is.
Basically I know I can't MAKE anyone quit. I can only support them in their fight!
You're feedback would be appreciated!
Thank you-
Nickie

When you get the chance, please check out April 07 for some memories of the past!
(I know this might get lost with morning hellos and all but please if it gets down lower - bump it to the top. I want these men to be able to see this. Thank you.)

I don't pipe up much on this site, but on this day, I give thanks that the guys mentioned above have saved, and changed, my life. I'm less than a month from the HOF, but I'm a lifetime from the man I used to be. This is my first Thanksgiving in 24 years that I didn't have a dip immediately before and after Thanksgiving dinner. Thanksgiving used to be a day I dreaded, being surrounded by my wife's family and friends, and unable to have a dip for at least 8 hours.
When I woke up this morning, I didn't think of having a chew at all until I was on my way there for dinnner, and only as an abstract thought. Once there, I literally didn't think about it until after I got home. If you had told me a year ago that I would be required to give up Skoal by next Thanksgiving, I probably would have killed you on the spot.
As I mentioned earlier, I don't chime in much, but the group of you -- veterans from long ago, to the guys just starting, keep me on the right track every single day. A day doesn't go by that I don't sign on this site and see how proud the old guys are, and how much life sucks for the new guys. It keeps me quit, and I thank each and every one of you for that. The admins and mods deserve special recognition. I haven't been able to determine that there is any other reason they do it than for the sole purpose of helping their fellow man, and I hope that someday I'm able to return that favor in any fashion.
I don't remember where I read it, but it sticks with me. Quitting is simple -- you just put down the can, and never pick it back up. But, as with everything, the devil is in the details, and in the doing. You have to confront yourself, and engage in that mental battle where you finally say that you're going to quit, regardless of the consequences.
That battle is both terrifying, and liberating. Terrifying, because you finally come to grips with something you've long hoped you'd never have to make a decision on (quitting), and liberating because you made that decision, and have started on a new path on which you will either succeed or fail -- no "nice try" bullshit -- this is your life, where you realize that this is the point at which you can no longer avoid your weakness, but must confront it. I would not have made it without the people that have been down this road before me, and the people that are right behind me.
There are more people that have helped me get this far, and I'd fuck it up trying to mention each one and why -- I'll save that for the HOF. I'll simply say this for tonight: I give thanks for each and every one of you, named and nameless, who have helped me get to this point. You saved my life. They don't fully appreciate it yet, but my wife thanks you, and my one -year old son thanks you as well.

Very well stated KT. Very nice.

TO ALL OF THE ADMINISTRATION ON KILLTHECAN, YOU BANNED ME NOT BECAUSE OF MY POSTS, BUT BECAUSE I AM SMARTER THAN YOU. I CONSIDER MYSELF A VERY EMOTIONALLY SENSITIVE PERSON, AND THEN YOU CLAIM THAT MY POSTS ARE INFLAMMATORY. THEY WERE NOTHING COMPARED TO OTHER POSTS ON HERE. NO ONE COMPLAINED ABOUT OTHER POSTS, JUST MINE AND WHY WOULD THAT BE?? I WASN'T FUCKIN WITH ANYBODY, JUST DOING MY OWN THING AND YOU BAN ME BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT SOMEONE THAT CAN SHOW YOU UP. IF I WAS THAT INFLUENTIAL, THEN YOU GUYS ARE JUST IDIOTS WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO LET WORDS FROM GENIUSES LIKE ME ROLL OVER YOUR SHOULDER.

dear notgod/dimitrius --
you were never banned -- you were put on moderator preview because you were messing with other people's quits. if you would have read the pm you were sent you would know that. this was done because members of the community asked for it not because of something we (the admins) decided on.
as for you being a genius -- good luck talking your way out of a cancer death sentence.

who are the pussies who wanted me previewed? i'm sure you can't say and i could begin to guess, but i don't know and don't care anymore. all i care about is getting to a point where i am only consuming one drug; marijuana. it's taking longer than i thought but that's life.

I really don't want to get in to this 12 days before HOF but can somebody tell me WTF is going on. Dim' are you fucking with other peoples quits? Moderators 'I can't belive your comparing him to NG. Did I miss something? Was there a cave ?
Dim are you really a pot head? Was there a ban on my PMs? Is that why I got no replys? In the future can Brass give that persons quit group a headsup to what is going on. Is this the first ban at KTC? Are we getting LITE? Has NG been banned?

First of all, re-read chewies post. He wasn't banned.
Second, we are not comparing him to notgod, HE IS NOTGOD!
Third, read The Board Guidelines (http://z11.invisionfree.com/QS_Xtreme/index.php?act=boardrules). He is violating 2 of the 3 guidelines.
And, (I will stop counting now), "bans on your PM's ?? Puhleaze. :rolleyes: PM someone responsible and respectable, see if you get a reply.
I'm gonna step out on a limb and answer your question about the Admins giving groups a heads up if one of their members is being a royal pain in the ass, disrupting other people's quits, and generating multitudes of requests from other members of this board that they be banned (which, once again, notgod was not banned)......NO.
Now let me temper my answer by adding - if a majority of Admins vote to give notice, then that will be what happens...Capice? ;)
So, are we getting lite? I laugh at that. 'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup'
Anyway, hope I answered some of your questions. Feel free to pm me if you have any more or want to continue this conversation privately.
Thanks

Oh and by the way, he knew that 2 logins was a violation of the board guidelines that was punishable by being banned.
Sybyl had caved many times under Notgod, once even continued to post roll with dip in his mouth. Now that this has come to light about him being Dimitrius as well, think about how many days were posted, posted as a dipper. The accountability of posting roll has helped me beat that demon. The accountability of posting roll has helped many of my friends beat that demon. Is anyone willing to accuse this site of going lite while he continues to shit on that roll? The admin should have put him on mod review long ago. The fact they waited this long should be a testament to their tolerance.
I wake up from a dip dream wondering how I am going to tell my friends i didn't live up to my word when it was only a dream. Then I see that assholes are pulling crap like this. This is not a game! This site is the only way quitting works for a lot of us!

i just wish i knew who wanted me previewed. it is the same kind of person that called in to complain when janet jackson showed her cleavage in the superbowl. i don't know how these people make it through the day without losing it. aren't we all exposed to unpleasant images everyday. i am every time i walk into a discount store. a post with words should be nothing. once they learned they didn't like me they could just ignore my posts. i only posted about 2-3 times a day under both names. you wussies.

Give a rat's ass about your quit and the quits of others. You don't want me caring more about your groups quits than you do, do you?!
We can't let one troll diminish the struggles, battles, and accomplishments of the hundreds of other quitters on here. He just doesn't earn that type of clout. We've had other trolls, I'm sure we'll get more down the road. We'll continue to deal as they happen along.
Stay strong, stay quit.

Yesterday was my 800th day without a dip. Profound as it may seem, time has actually passed reasonably quickly. Unlike many in these threads, I experienced few if any of the withdrawal pains. The 2 year anniversary of the reason I felt few of those comes this Saturday.
December the 8th will be 2 years since spitless tobacco took something from me. In actuallity, it took many things from me. December 8th 2005 was the day I was operated on for oral cancer that came as a result of dipping smokeless tobacco. The aftermath of that operation allowed me to escape many of the withdrawal symptoms some have experienced. I can only say I wish I had the chance to go through those symptons.
Most in here know my story. if you don't please ask myself or someone else about it. I do not share it to garner any sympathy. I do not share it to gain fame. I don't care if I never see eye to eye with you on any subject except one. The need to quit this mentally and physically harmful addiction.
If you are here visiting and thinking about quitting, please do so. Consider all the possiblities. My experience I wish on NO ONE. I don't care about race, religion, economic status, age, sexual orientation, political stance or any other issue just QUIT! But quit for yourself first. Then the quit will benefit so many others.

Belated congrats on 800, ODT - you are a damn fine quitter! You wanna hear something sick? I used to always say that cancer wouldn't scare me until I actually had it. How frickin' stupid is that!?!?!? True words from the mouth of an addict.
Your story is a grim reality of what this addiction can do. By the grace of God you are able to utilize your experience to try to help others. Hopefully, many more will listen. Personally, your story has made a huge contribution to my quit. Thanks for your support KEEP ON QUITTIN'.

Wow, Greg! Congrats, suga! You sure deserve it. Always be proud of yourself; not just with your accomplishments but with your help also in the accomplishments of others, like myself. -xo
Thanks to all of you for inspiring me. -xo
Some of this was part of my first post, I rewrote it into an article for a writing website. I hope you enjoy it!
You Never Know
In order to see into the future one must learn from their past, right? Believe me, I'm no saint so I must have learned alot, eh? Umm, well .. as for addiction I never quite learned from my mistakes. I started dipping smokeless tobacco probably as many do, a friend was doing it to rebel. So why not join in? I went along for the ride. You never know what you're missing until you try, right? It wasn't long after that, when I turned sixteen, I started doing it more. I did it the only private spot a teenager had, umm, the bathroom. My head would say, (yes, my head talks to me) "Shh, no one really has to know, right? Honestly, I'm not hurting anyone like those who smoke and fill the air with disgusting toxins. I can quit whenever I want." My favorite hangout was the bathroom now. Until the warden, my mother started to investigate the fascination I had with the toilet.
(Knock Knock)
"What's going on in there? Are you alright?" my mother would say.
"Umm, er .. well yeah! I'm just using the bathroom - geesh, MOM!" I would declare back.
Soon my mother questioned me more and more. Hmm, I'll fool her. I started dipping in the shower. She is not going to wonder why I'm taking a shower, I thought to myself. Yet after a few months, I was again being grilled by her.
"WHAT? Are you writing a freakin' book about me?" I retorted.
Finally, she stopped asking questions. I assume because I never gave any answers.
As the years came and went, my addiction started to settled in. I would never truly understand how Copenhagen would effect my life, my marriage and my children. Oh yes, marriage! I forgot to mention that, huh?
My high school sweetheart and I got married in our early twenties. Not long after, I was finding it harder and harder to keep my secret .. well a secret. I would always excuse myself to be alone, constantly brushing my teeth so I wouldn't be found out and running around like a crazed person to find a can of snuff if several convenience stores were out. Then came the dreadful day. Ohhh, I remember it so clearly. There was alot of yelling, disbelief and unfortunately mistrust because, you see, I was a woman with an addiction and my husband had just found my spit cup.
"YOU do WHAT? .. NO, tell me who has been in my house! I mean it, C'mon", my husband yelled. I sat there with the eyes of a scared little puppy dog who had just been scolded for soiling the carpet. "I know there was a guy in here. Haven't we always been honest to one another? Why won't you tell me the truth?", he pleaded with me. While he was ranting, the only thing I could do was stare at the floor. Oh, how do I explain any of this? I inhaled deeply and slowly the words crept through my quivering lips. "But honey, the truth is I really dip Copenhagen and have since I was sixteen or so." I looked up into his eyes. I could see the anger. I felt the tension. That day I actually had to take a dip in front of my husband, the person I love, just so he would believe me. I've never seen a look on anyones face as the day he watch me pack Copenhagen into my bottom lip. I saw how his jaw clinch. My heart felt like I betrayed the only person who ever loved me. He said, "You're beautiful and no woman does that. It's absolutely disgusting! I want you to quit now!" I shot back with, "Excuse me? But I would LOVE you NO matter what YOU did so why CAN'T you love me for the WAY I am?" My final words were, "I can quit whenever I want to." The damage was done. I was an addict and he was about to become my torture.
My addiction has gotten me into many fights with my husband. I do have to say I tried to be respectful. I didn't push it into his face and do it around him. I always brushed my teeth afterwards. He just hated it so and maybe a part of him hated me too for being so weak. As time slipped through the cracks so did my self worth. Finally, I just didn't care if I was hurting him or not. This was my life and I need it more than anything else. Looking back, I see how selfish I was. During that point in my life I was determined though to dip any minute I possibly could. So I began to do it around him. Yes, he hated it, but lived with it.
There were times he would threaten me. "I am GOING to TELL your MOTHER! She'll tell you how DISGUSTING it is!", screaming at the top of his lungs. Ultimately, I got tired of hearing this conversation over and over again so I ended up telling my mother. Here I was over thirty, telling my mom I dipped Copenhagen. I was ashamed. Yet I still woke up every morning to put that first dip in. I would pathetically take my lunch break to drive around and dip the whole time instead of eating food. So many times I would have to rush from the living room to the bathroom because the doorbell rang.
(Ding Dong - Ding Dong)
Spit, rinse ... spit, rinse ...
(Ding Dong - Ding Dong)
Brushing as fast as I could. Either they would leave by the time I got to the door or I would greet my visitor with nicely fresh breath. I never wanted anyone to know. After many years, .. after several times of trying to quit, .. after new year resolutions and through my husbands heartache, I finally see what my secret, my habit, my addiction for what it is and I am ashamed of myself and the lack of respect I had for my body and health.
To see me out and about, you probably would have never known. Heck, you might have past me at some point in the mall or I could be your next door neighbor but behind my make-up and hair all done up, behind the nice clothes, behind this sensitive woman was a can packin' Copenhagen fanatic. It was a drug. It was MY drug for so long. It's upsetting to know that at any moment I could easily access it. Any moment whatsoever, I could drive to the store and have my drug. I bet it's safe to say that you might be one of the ones thinking, What's the big deal? It's just tobacco and nicotine. ................ Wrong! I'll show you why.
My husband and I have always watched Intervention on AE. If you haven't seen it, the program depicts how a concerned family steps in and tries to help the person they love to take back control of their life without their addiction. ( commonly you'd see illegal drug use, alcoholics, eating disorders, gamblers .. etc) During a show one night, I turned to my husband and said "I wish someone would do an intervention on me." Without a bit of sympathy, he replied, "You CAN stop at anytime. ANYtime you WANT. It's not an addiction. You just don't have the willpower or the need to want to give it up!"
Tears began to trickle down my cheeks until it started flowing like a leaky faucet. Yet, there wasn't a plumber who could fix my leak or my broken spirit that night. I don't know why I tried explaining because if you have never been addicted to something it's hard to show that person what it's like. That was several months ago. I do remember thinking if I tried to quit again, I want to be more educated. I was tired of having this hump on my back, this burden attached to me that I couldn't seem to get rid of. I searched the web and found that addiction to nicotine is higher than the addiction to crack or heroin. And the success rate for recovering from nicotine is less than those two drugs as well. I was astonished. I knew I needed help. I made an agreement with myself that on Jan 1st 2007, I was going to quit. It's saddens me to say that it only lasted a whole six hours before I broke down and bought a can. Three days later, something happened unexpectedly.
I stopped packing Copenhagen into my lip.
That's the day I quit using; to everyone else it was just an average normal day but to me it was the day I found something I had been searching for all my life .. .. myself! I will always be an addict like any recovering alcoholic or drug user. I know my addiction started with a stupid ridiculous dare at the ripe age of sixteen. Now twenty years later, I'm proud to say I am the one in control my life ... not my addiction.
Thinking about quitting?
You never know what you're missing until you try, right?
It's Day 336 and I have a bright future ahead of me.

Question.....
When will my mouth stop screwing with me? I have been quit nearly a year and my mouth changes every other week. There was a stint were my mouth was so dry I couldn't swallow at times. Water wouldn't even help it. It was like having an allergic reaction. My tongue was so dry, swollen and nearly white. Then boom, it was gone. Tongue is red again and no issue with the cotton mouth. Then I go on this stint where I have about 5 or so sores in my mouth because I kept biting my cheek or lip when eating. I was walking around with a mouth full of blood most of the time. I would bite a portion of my mouth at least once a day. I seem to have finally gotten past that and no am on to the worst case of chapped lips I have ever had in my life. Nothing seems to help, Blistex-Chapstick-Carmex. My lips feel like they have cellophane on them. The corners crack and bleed and I look like I have herpes. WTF? Has anyone had this? Does it ever get better?
Thanks

CoachDip,
I had similar symtoms for about the first 2 months......not the chapped lip part, but I kept biting the shit outa the inside of my cheeks and lips for quite a while. I couldn't tell what was self inflicted and what was a result of quitting. I'm sure part of it was the fact that my "dip pocket" was emty and my cheeks were loose as a result. Therefore, I would chomp down on them all the time. Seems like I remember all the taste-buds on my tounge flaring up and stinging like hell for the first couple of weeks. But at a year, I can't see why you'd have these problems, unless you're still eating sunflower seeds by the bag. If it persists I would have it checked out. That's all I've got. Hope it gets better.
Quittintime.

But at a year, I can't see why you'd have these problems, unless you're still eating sunflower seeds by the bag. If it persists I would have it checked out. That's all I've got. Hope it gets better.

Thanks QT and loot
Was trying to avoid the doc but I guess I won't be able to. It is just annoying and seems to change about every two weeks or so. Hi ho - off to doc I go.
Thanks again

Keep Your Guard Up, don't Believe the BIG LIE, Take it a day at a time and drink plenty of water. You'll be amazed how far you can go. It's worked for 1132 days for me so far.

Question.....
When will my mouth stop screwing with me? I have been quit nearly a year and my mouth changes every other week. There was a stint were my mouth was so dry I couldn't swallow at times. Water wouldn't even help it. It was like having an allergic reaction. My tongue was so dry, swollen and nearly white. Then boom, it was gone. Tongue is red again and no issue with the cotton mouth. Then I go on this stint where I have about 5 or so sores in my mouth because I kept biting my cheek or lip when eating. I was walking around with a mouth full of blood most of the time. I would bite a portion of my mouth at least once a day. I seem to have finally gotten past that and no am on to the worst case of chapped lips I have ever had in my life. Nothing seems to help, Blistex-Chapstick-Carmex. My lips feel like they have cellophane on them. The corners crack and bleed and I look like I have herpes. WTF? Has anyone had this? Does it ever get better?
Thanks

CoachDip,
I had similar symtoms for about the first 2 months......not the chapped lip part, but I kept biting the shit outa the inside of my cheeks and lips for quite a while. I couldn't tell what was self inflicted and what was a result of quitting. I'm sure part of it was the fact that my "dip pocket" was emty and my cheeks were loose as a result. Therefore, I would chomp down on them all the time. Seems like I remember all the taste-buds on my tounge flaring up and stinging like hell for the first couple of weeks.

Coach,
You are not alone on this issue. I'm actually glad someone else is experiencing what I am. I am constantly biting at my lip or cheek 'til it's raw and I go through cotton mouth issues all the time. Water seems never to quench my thirst. I haven't really experienced any sores in my mouth unless you are talking about cold sores on your lip.. ?? If so, then yes .. one of 'em lasted for almost two weeks. I can totally relate to what you're going through.

I had problems with biting my lips and cheeks the first few months.
The problem with cracking in the corners of your lips is something I have experienced too ... in my case, it was due to a vitamin deficiency (vitamin K I think) and drooling while I slept.
And yes, I realize this opens me up to all kinds of comments ... go ahead ... just trying to help out a brother. ;)
If you are not taking a multi-vitamin, start doing so. As for the drooling, well, I have no helpful advice :blink:

Just keep a positive attitude. When a craving hits, just tell yourself that you are stronger than your addiction and you can do this. Don't let the dip win!!!

the weekend is upon us folks!!!
stay on course this weekend friends - this place tends to die down but that DOES NOT MEAN we aren't thinking about you... be strong, use the tools that you have at your disposal. make a plan - use those phone numbers (if you don't have one, pm me and it's yours) it's NEARLY impossible to cave when you're the phone witha brother.
see you on the flip side with those dip free lips!
chewie's 3 step cave plan
there's been a lot of talk about plans here lately... here's mine.
it's been put into effect many times over the last 400+ days.
feel free to copy and modify to fit your needs.
step 1: take picture of son out of wallet. look my son in the face and tell him that i love dip more than i love him.
step 2: take out killthecan.org business card, read the words and REALIZE that i'm letting each and every one of YOU down.
step 3: call each of the 60+ killthecan.org phone numbers that i've got in my phone and get PERMISSION from each and every person to have a dip.
P.S.: i've never had to go past step 1

good monday morning quitters... it's the beginning of another dip free week!!!

It is a good day to be dip free.

Quitters, Would-Be Quitters, Wanna-Be Quitters,
With this, being my last post of the year 2007, I want to say thanks to all of you for all the hard work, blood, sweat, and tears you have put forth into this little thing we call quitting. Keep your eyes and ears open for the Nico-Bitch when she comes knockin' over the holidays. I don't want to hear about any caves when I get back. Keep the faith, keep the quit, and keep it real. B)

If you're thinking about quitting dip as a New Year's resolution, you're on the right track. But statistics show that over half the resolutions made have been given up on by June.
There is no better time than now for quitting!

Good Morning Quitters! Come one come all, tomorrow is the last day to kick the nic bitch to the curb if you want to join the March 08 quit group!

If Given The Chance
I bet - if given the chance - I could seduce you into using me even if it's just one time.
Then after you've tried me I know you wouldn't want anything else other than myself.
I bet - if given the chance - I could make you believe I'm a loyal friend; some sort of confidante.
Sooner or later I'll be able to manipulate, hell I'll be able to isolate you from family even friends.
I bet - if given the chance - I could ravish you with deadly poisons pretending they're great pleasures.
And after all those years of letting me control your every move you'll see what I'm truly after ...... death.
I'm your greatest fear. I'm your addiction.
I bet - if given the chance - you'll begin to feel guilty from hurting so many because of your worship for me.
But after I am gone they'll learn to forgive you but never truly understand how or why this could've happened.
I bet - if given the chance - you'll begin to forget me. However, I'll try my best to wreck havoc on you once more.
You see, within the darkest corner of your mind every so often I'll beg you to give me another try.
I bet - if given the chance - you'll begin to see there's hope that you can live your life without me.
And after all those years of letting me control your every move you'll see what I truly dread ...... life.
It's my greatest fear. It's your recovery.

Hi everyone!
I've been off all forms of nicotine, after over 16 years of can-a-day chewing for 705 days. After several, who am I kidding, after dozens, maybe even hundreds of attempts at quitting (and I'll be honest, I would always buy 1 or 2 cans instead of a log because that trip to the gas station to buy some chew, was always going to be my last) I finally made up my mind to quit. I was in danger of losing my wife. All of my relationships were suffering. I didn't like chewing in front of my family, so I'd stay up real late and chew. Maybe make some music or play some on line chess, or play a video game, but my main goal, the thing I wanted most was to suck on some tobacco and spit the juice in a can, get that rush, then wash it down with some Mountain Dew. I'd stay up until 4:00 AM, get up at 8:00AM, get in the car, jam a chew in my lip, drive to work, drink at least 3 20 oz Mountain Dews through out the day, and chew all day long. I'd go through at least one can, every single day. Rinse, Repeat. YIKES!
It was Jan. 23rd, and despite printing off a bunch of pictures of people with huge holes in their faces and mouths and lips, and posting those pictures all over my office, they had little if no effect on me. I'd turn my head and jam my lip with skoal and pretend that disgusting picture didn't exist. My desire to chew was stronger than my desire to quit. Well, that day, Jan. 23rd after finding this website, I decided to quit. For good. Right then and there.
I had done this before mind you. Several times. I'd be driving down the road, my mouth all torn up, gross looking bottle of chew spit in my car with little flakes of tobacco all over the console, I'd throw the can out the window out of sheer disgust and be done. Until that damn can called me back. Or I'd flush every can in the house down the toilet. Then several hours later, in a panic try to scrape every little morsel I could from all the cans I dumped, like some kind of crack whore. I mean, who hasn't dug through their garbage looking for the last can of chew that was either thrown away by accident or on purpose? It bares repeating- YIKES!
This time it was different. I found this website, I found other people just like me, who were trying to quit- finally. Trying to quit and make it stick. I'm not sure exactly why that resonated so strongly with me, but it did. That morning, I made a commitment to quit and not just to myself, but all of you to my family, to my God, and it worked. That morning, Jan 23rd, I closed the door on my addiction and sealed it off, brick by brick by brick, for good. Literally, in my mind, I see my old self, this faceless addiction behind a wall of bricks that have encircled him. It towers above several miles, and he can't jump. Another day, another row of bricks.
The first couple days were the absolute worst. In fact, that night, my wife was working and I was home alone. I wanted to make a drink, to take the edge off. As I reached up for a glass, I remembered hiding a can of skoal above the cabinet where we keep the glasses. I reached up, felt around, and sure enough, there it was. A can of chew way more than half full. I grabbed it, went straight to the toilet, opened the can to dump it, and stopped. There it was, the moment of truth, the proverbial fork in the road. I paused, closed the lid, opened it, brought it up to my nose, and smelled the sweet aroma. Then I came to my senses and started to dump it, again I paused. What was I doing?! This was my lover of over 16 years! Was I crazy? Did I really want to say good-bye? I am not lying when I say I stood there, in the bathroom, with the lid off my can, the toilet seat open, arm outstretched, tears starting to well in the corner of my eyes wrestling with this decision. Not to over dramatize the whole thing, but it's true. This was the most difficult thing I had ever done. And after God only knows how long, several minutes, a half an hour, I gave her the *UCK YOU!! -and dumped the can. Words cannot describe how satisfying it felt! Thats' when I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt that I had done it. Closed the door for good.
The next day, I joined a gym, made some changes to my daily routine, nothing major, but it worked.
Deciding to quit is easy. Actually quiting is the hard part, but if you are determined, and have truly decided to change your life, you can do it and this website will help you, tremendously. I want you all to know that it does get easier. Every single day. So, please, take the step, take the leap of faith, close the door on your addiction and take back your life.

I'd be driving down the road, my mouth all torn up, gross looking bottle of chew spit in my car with little flakes of tobacco all over the console, I'd throw the can out the window out of sheer disgust and be done. Until that damn can called me back. Or I'd flush every can in the house down the toilet. Then several hours later, in a panic try to scrape every little morsel I could from all the cans I dumped, like some kind of crack whore. I mean, who hasn't dug through their garbage looking for the last can of chew that was either thrown away by accident or on purpose? It bares repeating- YIKES!
Ohh, how well I remember this part of my addiction!
I have goosebumps! What a powerful message, Fishforsale! Thank you for sharing!

Hi everyone!
I've been off all forms of nicotine, after over 16 years of can-a-day chewing for 705 days. After several, who am I kidding, after dozens, maybe even hundreds of attempts at quitting (and I'll be honest, I would always buy 1 or 2 cans instead of a log because that trip to the gas station to buy some chew, was always going to be my last) I finally made up my mind to quit. I was in danger of losing my wife. All of my relationships were suffering. I didn't like chewing in front of my family, so I'd stay up real late and chew. Maybe make some music or play some on line chess, or play a video game, but my main goal, the thing I wanted most was to suck on some tobacco and spit the juice in a can, get that rush, then wash it down with some Mountain Dew. I'd stay up until 4:00 AM, get up at 8:00AM, get in the car, jam a chew in my lip, drive to work, drink at least 3 20 oz Mountain Dews through out the day, and chew all day long. I'd go through at least one can, every single day. Rinse, Repeat. YIKES!
It was Jan. 23rd, and despite printing off a bunch of pictures of people with huge holes in their faces and mouths and lips, and posting those pictures all over my office, they had little if no effect on me. I'd turn my head and jam my lip with skoal and pretend that disgusting picture didn't exist. My desire to chew was stronger than my desire to quit. Well, that day, Jan. 23rd after finding this website, I decided to quit. For good. Right then and there.

This time it was different. I found this website, I found other people just like me, who were trying to quit- finally. Trying to quit and make it stick. I'm not sure exactly why that resonated so strongly with me, but it did. That morning, I made a commitment to quit and not just to myself, but all of you to my family, to my God, and it worked. That morning, Jan 23rd, I closed the door on my addiction and sealed it off, brick by brick by brick, for good. Literally, in my mind, I see my old self, this faceless addiction behind a wall of bricks that have encircled him. It towers above several miles, and he can't jump. Another day, another row of bricks.
The first couple days were the absolute worst. In fact, that night, my wife was working and I was home alone. I wanted to make a drink, to take the edge off. As I reached up for a glass, I remembered hiding a can of skoal above the cabinet where we keep the glasses. I reached up, felt around, and sure enough, there it was. A can of chew way more than half full. I grabbed it, went straight to the toilet, opened the can to dump it, and stopped. There it was, the moment of truth, the proverbial fork in the road. I paused, closed the lid, opened it, brought it up to my nose, and smelled the sweet aroma. Then I came to my senses and started to dump it, again I paused. What was I doing?! This was my lover of over 16 years! Was I crazy? Did I really want to say good-bye? I am not lying when I say I stood there, in the bathroom, with the lid off my can, the toilet seat open, arm outstretched, tears starting to well in the corner of my eyes wrestling with this decision. Not to over dramatize the whole thing, but it's true. This was the most difficult thing I had ever done. And after God only knows how long, several minutes, a half an hour, I gave her the *UCK YOU!! -and dumped the can. Words cannot describe how satisfying it felt! Thats' when I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt that I had done it. Closed the door for good.
The next day, I joined a gym, made some changes to my daily routine, nothing major, but it worked.
Deciding to quit is easy. Actually quiting is the hard part, but if you are determined, and have truly decided to change your life, you can do it and this website will help you, tremendously. I want you all to know that it does get easier. Every single day. So, please, take the step, take the leap of faith, close the door on your addiction and take back your life.

We know you're out there. Looking around the site, telling yourself that you'll quit on the first. I know, because two years ago today I was doing the same thing.
There's no need to wait until next week. Hell, there's no real reason to wait another minute, except for the nic bitch in your head telling you so.
Make a committment to yourself to not be a prisoner one more minute. Get up right now and spit that crap out of your mouth. Dump the can in your pocket down the toilet. While your at it, get the spare can in your golf bag, the one with your fishing gear, the 1/2 can in the console of the truck...where ever you have that shit lying around, and say good bye.
Will it be easy? Hell no. It will probably be one of, if not the hardest things you will ever do in this lifetime.
Is it worth it? Oh hell yes. Yesterday marked two full years nicotine free for me after over 35 years of committing partial suicide every day. I don't worry about my little girl wanting to kiss daddy, I don't worry about having shit on my teeth in front of clients, and most of all, I don't live my life around when I can get another dip.
As you read through the pages here, you will find writings from our brothers and sisters in this fight that do a much better job of explaining both the struggles you will face, and the joys you will experience once you make the decision to quit. I can only tell you that once you do, once you really committ to setting your self free from this God forsaken crap, you will wonder why you took so long, why you hesitated even one more minute to be free.
Welcome aboard. We are each and everyone here to help you, just take the first step and let's get quit!
