I've filed for divorce from my wife. For those of you who have been through a divorce I'd like to hear your stories - the good, bad, and the ugly. TIA.

Sorry to hear that brother, I pray I never experience that.  Maybe there is some useful stuff here https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=280.0
Be humble... grow everyday.

I fear I will always be chasing the vortex like a drug. None will be as special as my first hit.

I just play a lawyer on TV so I can't speak to the legal specifics but i imagine it's not going to go well in today's pussified society. Especially with a minor as the victim.

As the father of 4 daughters, I can only say good luck. Keep your powder dry, you've still got a long road ahead of you.
How did this turn out or turning out? I am interested. In Oklahoma they have a law that is someone threatens your family you can defend them, it is a little more complicated for Minors but it is still there. It is nicknamed the Yo Momma law (No Joke). We also have a Within an inch of your life law that is all about defense of self when some one sufficiently threatens you (I have used before).
Proud to quit with you man, Skoal LC Mint was my poison for most of the 30 years I TRIED to kill myself.....I am 67 days, finding good support by posting and interacting with other quitters, I'm learning and it feels powerful....most of my physical manifestions of addiction are gone....some triggers here or there....ODAT, proud to quit today with you.

...as far as young boys, they arent men, scare them, for real, I got two daughters....I've recently informed one of these little bastards, "Boy, Don't do anything to my daughter that you do not want me doing to you.....son, Im serious, do not make me hurt you permanently."

In posting this, I'm admitting how big a slob I am. But I'm guessing a lot of us were slobs when it came to dipping.

In a couple of weeks, I'll be changing locations for work. So, I need to clean out my office. Including the drawer where I had my dip bottles and cans. I cleaned out the bottles and cans months ago. But, the particles and splashes have never been cleaned.

To say it's gross would be an understatement. Apparently I wasn't too good at hitting my spitters, because there are spit particles and spit splashes up the wazoo. And, the stink. Stink I haven't smelled since I quit.

It's embarrassing and disgusting.

Merry Christmas KTC community.

Here I am, quit 701 days, and I still crave the crap. Nearly every single day. No, theyÂ’re not strong craves. More like an annoying mosquito buzz.

IÂ’m glad I made my promise this morning. Tobacco is off the table for the rest of today.

But I really thought IÂ’d be further along almost two years into my quit. But, alas, IÂ’m still a junkie. Just a clean junkie.
CONGRATS on your 700+++++!

Turns out I'm just as sloppy with getting gum all over the place as I was with getting Grizzly all over the place. Gum is less gross but more sticky. My six yo is also getting into it and making a mess.

So, four months in to my quit, it's time to quit the mental/oral fixative part of my addiction.

Proud to quit with all of you.

To fill in some blanks - my wife intercepts my daughters text messages. The 14yo lives across the road. I've known his dad (J) my entire life. I showed J the texts, and let him know that this crap had to stop. J heartily agreed with me. J assured me that he would do his part in making sure it was taken care of, and I trust that he will (has).

My daughter doesn't want anything to do with it. They (my daughter and 14 yo neighbor boy) have always been buddies, but he wanted a little more. A lot more. It angers and saddens me that she was put in the situation.

Unlike quitting products, total adherence to a personal commitment to not violate the law of addiction provides a 100% guarantee of success. Although obedience may not always be easy, the law is clear, concise and simple - no nicotine today, not one puff, dip or chew!

I've been Quit 64 days. I'm still chewing gum like crazy. I'm chewing two or three pieces at a time, even four sometimes. I'm almost always chewing gum.

I like to snap the gum, and I think that bothers my wife more than the dip did.

I've always been an extreme oral fixative. Elementary teachers gave me grief for chewing on my pencils.

I've Quit the nicotine, but it seems my psychological hang-up of always having something in my mouth is here to stay.
