Om my Gosh. This is WAY worse than I thought it'd be. I started chewing a few years ago when I quit smoking. Thought it would help me to stop smoking and be easier to quit. HA HA HA HA!! What a joke. I did manage to stop dipping through both of my pregnancies but only with the help of nausea. But a few weeks after I give birth my husbands dip can starts looking mighty tempting again.
I tried quitting and lasted 8 hours. I was screaming at my kids and didnt want them to go through that I wasnt prepared.
Now my throat has been kind of hurting like its raw even though Im not sick. I also have tough wrinkly skin on my lower lip and a little sore on my toungue. (going to dentist next month) I googled mouth cancer and read Sean Marsee's story. I am officially scared to death of getting cancer. I have 3 children and dont wanna leave them.
I am ready. I went to the store to get nic. gum and they didnt have any. I decided I would do it cold turkey. Bad idea? I dont know. But I guess it sems like nrt kinda prolongs the addiction for me. I bought munchies, soft peppermints,licorice and a couple packs of gum.
Im already freaking out. I had mt last chew last night at 8 pm. I read somewhere a quitter has 6 cravings a day. whatever, try 6 craves in ONE HOUR!!!
Everythign is irritating the PISS out of me right now. I wish everything in this house would just shut the fruck up! Ive never wanted to just SWEAR so much in my life and I AM POUNDING THESE F****** KEYS. I want to kill something.
I would like to chew my bottom lip off.

Congratulations on your decision and welcome. It WILL get better.

You can do this. Just hang in there. second by second, minute by minute. Whatever it takes to get through this. The craves and the pain are only temporary.
It is not easy, but you can do this!!!
Get on over to December and post roll. (Your plegde not to use nicotine in any form today).
Just get through today and we will worry about tomorrow in the morning.
-
I understand EXACTLY what you are going through. We all do.
But hear this...
It will get better as long as you stay quit. You have no idea how great things will get. I know you don't believe that right this minute but it is true. There will come a time when you will not feel the way you do now. There will come a time when you will not think about dip for days and weeks.
Freedom is a great thing. What are you willing to do to be free?
Check your (Inbox 1) upper right corner of your screen.

Cuss at us anytime you want to. That is why we are here. Don't worry about quitting forever, just today. One day at a time. One hour at a time if need be.
You can do this lil mamma.

AAAARRRGGH. I already almost caved. My brain worked without me and siad" just change your quit date buy another can than quit again when you get the patch"(in a singsongy soothing voice)
But No. Or should I . I thnk im too weak to do this cold turkey. Should i gt a patch? I dont know!! Im already 16 hours into my quit.
Fuck I love Grizzly. But I hate that shit!! All of my nails are long and beautiful EXCEPT for my 2 short nasty index finger chew nails.
I love the burn but I absolutely HATE nasty bottles full of slimy viscous chewspit.
If one of those gets dumped its enough to make ya barf. One time my husband saw me with a spitcan Id been using and he said" Uhh I dumped bacon grease in that awhile ago. F'n sick. IM done done done. Right? I dont even have any support but this site. NONE of my family knows. (im a girl so its "taboo" you know?) Hubby has no interest in quitting right now. Ayyy. I AM A STRONG WOMAN. First 3 days are the worst its gonna be. RIGHT?RIGHT?

AAAARRRGGH. I already almost caved.
Unfriggin acceptable. You put your name on roll. You gave me your promise.
Nicotine is off the table today.
No ifs ands or buts!!!
You can do this!!!!
-
I can only tell you that the freedom of being quit is worth all the crap you're going through at the moment. This crazy stuff is all part of getting the poison out of your system. You will survive and you will not be nic's slave. You made your promise to not touch nicotine today. You sound like a woman who keeps her word. Give every crave the finger and storm through it. This is the best decision you'll ever make. Believe me.
Find alternative activities. Drink lots of water. Get plenty of exercise.

Chewife, this place is for people who are absolutely, totally committed to quitting nicotine. Either you ARE, or you AREN'T. A lot of people would think we should go easier on you because you're a woman.
Screw that. I couldn't care less what body parts you have.
KTC works because we DON'T go easy, on anyone.
If you post your name on roll, that's your commitment to every one of us that, no matter what happens, you WILL NOT USE NICOTINE IN ANY FORM TODAY.
There is no "maybe I should". You swore an oath to us. And we damned well expect you to keep it!

Listen up Hoochie momma. Why are you asking anyone but yourself if you are done? Do you want to quit? Do you want to live? Here's the thing you have to wrap that Louis Vitton handbag on...when you are sitting alone in the dark, the kids are asleep and the husband is off looking at thai porn, do you see a woman that is strong, in control and making her own path? Do you see her leading her kids to the future? Showing them right and wrong? Showing everyone she can face any problem and overcome? What do you see? I'll support you day and night. I will...I say it all the time but I'm sincere. If someone needs help, my ears are on. But I gotta know you want to live. I gotta here that you are willing to fight to change your life. Its not easy. Why the hell would UST make it easy for you to stop. The didn't. But if you are strong and want to quit, it doesn't matter who tries to get in your way. It doesn't matter who shoves cancer candy in your face and says "have one". You will overcome. Now is the time to quit. It takes one dip...just one...to start the chain reaction of cancer. So keep that in mind. May be that decision to delay is the one that kills you. Doing this will change your life. You will be a new woman. Too long have you lived as a slave. Your free will has been taken from you. Its time to get it back. So stop fucking around. You have your word and you don't want to break it. Cling to that. You are a person with purpose and those types of folks don't just roll over for "just one". Now fight. Dammit. Fight like your life depends on it because it certainly does. I'll fight with you. So will all these folks. You are not alone. Here's a little secret...I was the biggest wuss here...before I quit. Now my nuts can pound 9 inch railroad spikes into cement. That's the power and strength quit has given me. You can have this. You can be the woman you were meant to be. All you have to do is make the decision and then fight.

Will you grasp the hand offered?

Maybe. They were the worst for me but it doesn't really matter. All that matters is today. You can't do shit about tomorrow or yesterday for that matter. You post roll, listen to what other people are telling you, most definitely get Samcat's number (and use it), and keep your promise to the rest of us. We have all been there, some of us more recently than others. We are in the fire together, all of us. Always proud to see a woman step up and admit and quit.

Nice Day 2 post chewife! All you need to be worrying about right now is making it from RIGHT NOW, through today, to BEDTIME. Don't worry about anything else, just staying clean today. You can make it until bedtime without using, I know you can. You did it once, now just repeat.

I just want to add, that at this point in the quit you may get depressed about not getting things accomplished during your day...Staying quit is more important! The house cleaning, grocery shopping, whatever else ladies put on there never ending lists can definetly wait.
If it's important, tell your husband to do it! ( but be nice) Quitting is hard, but it is worth it. and if all you get done for the whole day is not putting poisoin in your body then I say the day was a success.
Good Stuff...Now I am off to find some railroad spikes ^_^

Wow. I never expected so much support and so many responses! You all are so nice(andnot so nice i a good way)lol
Last night after reading outloud all my posts and replies my husband got up announced he was done. He then dumped 3/4 of a can of chew in the garbage! I told him hes better spit on it . And he did. And for good measure he smushed it against a poo diaper.
So, today has been interesting. Were both very snappish and have to give eachother lots of space. Today is a cookout in a house with tons of people. I dont know how Ill do it without growling and biting. There is 2 men there who chew and have very strong arguments for not quitting. "I been chewin' fer 30 years and Im just fine!" Uh-huh. Sure you are. Im not worried about it cause they wont ask me, but they will him. Poor guy I hope he can do it.
Ive also come to realize a can of chew is a living breathing thing. With a voice. And feelings. He is bipolar though. Totally sweet and caring one minute and a little conniving bitch the next. I dont need people like that in my life.

AMEN TO THAT!!! When things get tough today with that house full of Friends and Family and the NIC BITCH starts whispering in your ear that y'all can have that "Just One"...take a hard look around and think to yourselves...these same Friends and Family would probably also be gathering if that "Just One" finally did me in...This is a Life or Death Battle we are in. You have taken that step in taking your Life back and now your Husband follows!!! You will NEVER regret Quitting I can Promise you that!!! I am glad to see you posting roll and in here. Get Your Husband to register if he hasn't already and get him on roll too!!! If his word means anything than staying Quit for just One Day can be accomplished too!!! I give you both my Personal Word for the Day that I will Quit with the y'all.
SamCat!!!

That is AWESOME! Get him to post day 1 and make his promise. Neat how that works, then it's off the table to cave. It is NOT an option. Get numbers here, you and your husband, and USE them. They will save your life. They have mine.

Holy shit what a BEAR. 'help' He's currently on day one and Im on day 2. He is way more touchy than I was yesterday and thats saying alot.
He said (snapped) "Itd be alot easier if you werent all""oh what are you feeling and this is what you could be feeling"" and I was just alone."
WELL IM SORRY!!!!!!!!!!! I thought the little facts about quitting chewing were interesting and encouraging.Like how your blood pressure goes back to normal after 2 hours and trouble concentrating is a normal withdrawal symptom.
But nooooo. I guess that just makes it harder for hiiiim. PBBTTHHHH! Thats what I have to say about that. He went to the stupid cookout by himself and now he can be ALONE.(without ((nagging))wife)
Now I know why my mom is relieved when my dad picks up a cig after a few days of trying to quit.
I know I sound awful but Im really just venting I do want him to stay quit. Oh and he will have nothing to do with this site. I already asked, but apparently Im not allowed to speak.

You can NOT allow him to weaken your own Quit....He is fighting the support and he will have to fight the temptations alone. However, Do not let it get you down if and when you find out that those 2 friends enabled him to go back to the can. Right now you are the only one that is trying to hold him accountable. The Nic Bitch just succeeded by leaving you out of the Equation today...He will have to make his choices alone and you need to just focus on your strength and your Quit for the rest of the day. We can NOT force anyone to Stay Quit...it's a personal deciision. No matter how bad or argumentative he gets with you or vice versa...just give some space...drink lots of water and maybe go for a walk to clear your head....this behavior is temporary while you go through this process. Come here and vent all about it...just do not take it out on him or anyone else..we understand here as only an addict would. You are doing great!!!

Keep fighting you got this. One day at a time.

I have to second SamCat's words. Your Quit is YOURS, not mine, not SamCat's, and not your husband's.
Nobody craves because of what anyone else says, thinks or does. We crave because we are ADDICTS.
Both you and your husband are addicted to nicotine, like everyone here at KTC. You share the same space, but your addictions have nothing whatever to do with one another. If he Quits, it's his Quit, his decision, his fight. If he doesn't, that also is his to own.
Neither of those have anything to do with your Quit.
DO NOT try to make them have anything to do with your Quit, and the other way around too...DO NOT try to make your Quit have anything to do with your husband's addiction. Your husband has absolutely no ownership of your Quit, neither for nor against, regardless of anything he says, thinks or does, at any time, for any reason.
Meanwhile, way to go on Day 2. See you tomorrow.

Chewife,
The last line of the above is critically important. You're right. You don't need people like that in your life. Anyone who can even attempt to justify ussing tobacco in any form is: 1. So insecure in his own skin that he is afraid to ever attempt quitting. 2: Has a feew screws loose. 3. Is an idiot. 4. All of the above.
You and your hubby can do this. Welcome to the quit.
Quit with us today, won't you?

I see you posted a day 4 in December. This is huge. No turning back now. If you cave you will have to go through days 1-3 all over again. One day at a time, you can do this. We can do this.
-
The thing it took me the longest to realize is that I had to quit because I wanted to quit. It won't work if somebody else wants you to quit. I dipped for 16 years. Alot. I also quit alot. Sometimes several times a day. Now I'm a week into my quit, and I'm living with a roommate who dips Red Seal constantly, have a dad and a brother who dip constantly but I don't let that shit bother me. If you're husband is ready, he'll quit. But if he's not ready, don't let that discourage you. I'm living proof that you can stay quit while living with a dipper. And make no mistake, if you stay quit and your hubby caves, it'll piss him off. No man likes to "lose." Especially to their wife. Stay supportive and we'll eventually have him posting roll with u. If you need anything, I'm right here with these other wingnuts. PM me.

I occassionally like to lose to my wife....
Oops... wrong forum for that, sorry! :unsure:
In seriousness, I'm glad to see you here. You can do this. Your hubby will hopefully come around. If he doesn't, you must stay the course. Own this war. Win it one daily battle at a time. It gradually gets easier. Slowly, cautiously, let your pride drive you, but remain cautious. Craves will come, so we must all be ready for them. My wife has never had an addiction, but was still one of my biggest allies outside my KTC group. Congratulations on the decision to reclaim your life.

LOOT may have missed this...but is the husband posting Roll here or just running his mouth to his wife?

LOOT may have missed this...but is the husband posting Roll here or just running his mouth to his wife?
Naw, he ain't as strong as the little lady.
Figures...LOOT lays 3:1 odds he's finger bangin a can by Monday.
And Mrs. Chewife....you just lead by example. Show him who's got the sack in the family, and not the one you keep in your purse.
Don't let his weakness detract from your quit. YOU do what YOU need to do for YOU. It;s all about YOU.
Post Roll Call every day...as early in the day as you can. Be a person of honor and keep your word to us.
It won't be easy...but we've all done it. And we will be here for you.

Welcome aboard chewife, I know you can do this, because if I can YOU CAN!! One day at a time! Embrace the SUCK and stay strong! Proud to be quit with you ! greg

So I didnt know where to post a random topic so Ill just post it here.
I wanted to thank all you people who responded to my posts when I was at my worst. 36 wonderful encouraging replies! I didnt think Id be able to do it but I did and now Im at day 5 and I really couldnt have done it without this site! I was skeptical about roll call at first and wasnt gonna do it but I sure did change my mind!
I didnt understand what everyone meant about "fog" until now. Looking back at days 1-3 I wonder, was I even conscious? Seriously all I can remember is being extremely angry and eating everything in site.
Oh and guess what? Husband is on day 4!! So to whoever bet 3:1 that hed give up by monday was wrong wrong wrong! and yay right! Im really glad he lost that bet!!
I wanted to see if anyone else has had this symptom though. He has multiple little white pimple like bumps in rows down either side on the underside of his tongue. We dont know if its because hes been eating a TON of lifesaver wintergreens or maybe its some subconcious thing hes doing with his tongue?? Any input? Hes only gotten them since hes QUIT.
I had a DREAM last night that me and Husband decided to just have one chew on the boat and right after I put it in I had the worst overwhelming guilt of my life. I felt like I had committed adultery ! I quick got it out and was spitting out all those nasty little piecse and the whole time I was just thinking" oh no how am I gonna post roll now???!!" Ha Ha Ha!
Anyway Im so happy I AM FREE OF THE NICBITCH!! And listen up all you super- newbies, you can do it!!! oh and...
Between me and Hub---
8 cans of wintergreen grizzly a week=$33.60
$33.60 times 4=$134.40 a month
We are going to save $1,612.80 in a year! Yet another incentive to quit!!!

In reality you'll save more than that. The price will just continue to rise.
Congrats to you and hubby.
I am very glad to quit with you today.
-
After you quit you mouth goes through some major changes. Just keep an eye on the bumps and if not gone in a few day seek medical attention.
About roll call. Roll call is what this site is all about. History has shown that those that quit posting roll WILL dip again. Get your pantywaste of a husband to start posting roll.

I wanted to see if anyone else has had this symptom though. He has multiple little white pimple like bumps in rows down either side on the underside of his tongue.
The first 3-4 days I quit I had the same thing on the back and sides of my tongue. I'm day 8 now and they've been gone for a few days. From what I understand, it's because the ph levels in his mouth have been out of whack for so long, they're restabilizing themselves and it's the effects of that he is seeing. My food tasted weird and my tongue was sore but I'm good now. I have however noticed that I now prefer Pepsi over Coke. Dunno if that's a result of my taste buds getting un-screwed.

The first 3-4 days I quit I had tThank all of you!!! I'm glad to be here!! I think the only bad thing about me quitting is I'm going to have to join weight watchers LOL I have seriously gained 10 lbs in a week!!!he same thing on the back and sides of my tongue.

Now that is funny because my first diet coke post quit does not taste good at all and they use to be my favorite beverage (especially while dippin)

I've got plans with my bro to start running again. Seems that all I want to do now is eat gummi sharks when I would usually have a dip in. Asides from eating everything that doesn't move, and the changes to my taste buds, I've never felt better. My roommates cans of Red Seal all over the house dont even bother me anymore. I'm glad you and your hubby are hangin. If you need, holler.
-
Sometimes I eat stuff that DOES move. It keeps 'em happy.

Just gotta put this out there although I dont expect any of you men to change, and its not really a huge deal, but isnt anyone else SICK of seeing big, nasty, floppy boob avatars. Uck. Of all the things you could choose! I mean whats wrong with a little fluffy kitten, huh??LOL Yuk those big sweaty knockers floppin all over the place. All greased up and artificial!!! One of them are so HUGE its just disturbing. BLech :wacko: Maybe if we had some big veiny penises stickin around it be a little more evened out! There now I feel better oh and 'boob' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Ditto...never seen em that big in person. A big veiny throbbing member avatar is just what this forum needs.

I would not advise that. Gmann is incredibly important to this forum. Giving anything that is a distraction to him would not be wise for any of our quits.

Chewife, your post was not at all what I was hoping for when I saw a thread labeled "Boobs", LOL! Of all the things you could be disgusted with on this board...the meanness, the absurdity, the caves, the pseudo- or not-so-pseudo faggotry, pretty much anything the Warrant Officer has posted in the last couple of days - I'm REALLY disappointed that you chose breasts to complain about.
Except the fake ones. Can't stand the fake ones.

Thank you, Bama. I for one am appalled that someone would be so brash as to put a kitten up as their avatar.

Chewife, I invite you to take your proposition on penis avatars to the administrators. I once had an avatar of a gentleman performing felatio on himself. It was one of my favorites, but certain people with less confidence in their sexual indentities than I were offended. Good luck with airing your greivance and I am on your side!

Word. I saw the subject and was hoping to see a whole library of Teamkeoki's avatar, or something similar. I'm just disappointed. Does chewhusband know about all of these offensive mammaries around here? Might be the dealmaker.
I hate fluffy kittens.... and non fluffy kittens. I pretty much just don't like cats. How about an avatar of a dog chasing a cat?
Seriously, though... how is your quit going, and what's up with hubby? Maybe I missed a chapter somewhere.
-
Well Radman my husbands and I's quit is going pretty good. It hasnt really gotten any easier in the past few days though. Like I hit a roadblock. In fact day 5 was easier than yesterday. I always had my first chew with a hot cup of coffee and checked my email. Ahhh the relief and sweet burn. It instantly cured my morning cranks. Now my morning cranks just last a looong time. I really really miss it. When is the irratibility gonna go away? Or is that just me? Gosh I hope not.
Now to do with the whole "boob" subject. The real reason I take such issue with it is that me myself has had to deal with that shit my whole life. Since 8th grade teased mercilessly,called "bowling balls B" yeah ha ha funny. Ive had stupid huge boobs for forever and I cant wear cute shirts,swimsuits,jackets,etc. I cannot run,jump,play volleyball,dive in the water,jog or anything without calling attention to my assets. I was called a slut (i was far from it) just for having them. They are the BANE of my existence and the minute I can afford it I am getting them LOPPED THE FUCK OFF. They ruin my life. Literally. I would just love to be able to run.(and no im not obese).
So anyway thats that. Kinda personal but feels good to get it off my chest*snicker,snicker*.
Oh and hub still wont join this and the boob avatars wouldnt sway him because Im pretty sure hes had his fill of big ole knockers in the past few years.

First, the QUIT: You DO NOT miss it. You gotta get that outta your head. How can we miss something that is killing us? I fought with that mental block for quite a while last year. What you miss is the relief from withdrawal symptoms. That relief is brought by daily poison consumption. As we emerge from the withdrawal process, the relief comes naturally. We get the same sense of calm by doing the relaxing things other people enjoy. We actually begin to enjoy the thing itself instead of focusing on the nicotine we expect to receive while involved in it. It takes different amounts of time for every person. Trust me, hang in there and you'll eventually feel it. The freedom is wonderful. After chewing and dipping for almost 20 years, I'll be quit a year tomorrow. I can honestly say I don't miss anything about it. But, I know if I ever take "one pinch", that will change. I'm not trying to be a smartass here, just hoping to offer some reassurance.
As for the boobs: I see your point. I have a cousin who was in your situation. For health and posture reasons, she did just what you speak of.

Never been a huge breast fan myself...they do get in the way. I don't know how much the surgery costs, but figure on saving about a grand a year that you used to piss away on dip.

OK What is happening to me? Is this what I get for quitting cause if so its really discouraging. TEN, yes TEN pounds gained in 19 days. I know I know I need to "watch what I eat and exercise" Well easier said than done when your constantly cravind SOMETHING and trying to fill that oral fixation. My gosh I never realized how little I ate when I chewed. Like a natural appetite supressant. Now the floodgates have opened. If I dont have something in my mouth at all times I get fidgety and nervous and ornery. I crave stuff like I never used to. Taco Bell, Arbys, giant loaded pizzas!!!?? What used to be a treat is now like a necessity. TEN pounds. Oh and Ive been walking almost every night and am in the best shape Ive been in in awhile. Yet the pounds just keep on comin'!!! My digestive tract has grinded to a halt and I am as bloated as hell. This is just depressing. Is this what I get?? I wont get cancer and die Ill just get obese. Nice tradeoff.
Now where is my frosting and nachos.Stat.

Listen, right now, quitting is the only thing you need to worry about. You can loose weight later.
I know it's different for men than women, but when I quit, I put on a good 20 pounds. I knew I was getting overweight, but put that on a back burner until I had a solid quit.
One year later (I did it one day at a time), I started working out, and loosing weight. But only cuz I could FOCUS on it.
Right now, you can't focus on shit except keeping worm shit outta your face. Fill that void with whatever you want, as long as it's not nicotine.
The weight will come.

http://www.killthecan.org/robs/weight.asp (http://www.killthecan.org/robs/weight.asp)
The health implication of a minor weight gain is negligible in comparison to the health risks posed by chewing. The average chewer would have to gain over 75 to 100 pounds to put the additional workload on the heart that is experienced by chewing, and this is not saying anything about the cancer risk associated with dipping.
I gained about 40 lbs... still haven't taken it off (5+ years later). Am I happy being fat? Hell no. But I'd much rather be a rolly-poly-Chewie than a dead one.
Just saying.

NOLAQ's dead on right on this.
But, I'll add a little tip that might help...satisfy your munchie craving with raw vegetables...baby carrots broccoli worked for me.
I'm over three years quit now, and I still go through a bag of carrots most days that I'm in the office.
I put on about twenty pounds too, but have since burned it all off. You will too.
-
Yep, +1 NOLAQ. I did 11 lbs in 10 days or something very close to that and now I sit at 105 days clean and 15 lbs up. I've done exactly what NOLAQ said: I've gorged myself because being quit in #1 priority. I've just started exercising to work it off, stay tuned. I'll get back to crack whore skinny in a couple months of easy workouts, just sill take time. For now: focus on your quit. Exercise later and enjoy the nachos and pizza for now.
-
Start exercising now! Exercise is a great distraction and even greater stress reducer. Get off yer ass and move. Another suggestion is hard sugar free candy. Great for the oral fixation and very few calories.
-
Part of my funk right now is from gaining weight. I'm sick of it. I gained a ton of weight when I stopped swimming and then start to lose a bunch and got lazy again. I know I need to worry about quitting. But if I can't be happy with me and the way I look then I can't quit successfully, imo.
I need to start working out, but my body can't get into a rhythm yet. Hopefully soon. Staying on the beach for the time being and would love to start running on it and swimming a few miles down the coast line.
-
Chewife, start running a little during the walks. NOLAQ is right that you can't focus on exercise right now. Theo is dead on with carrots and other veggies to munch on. But if you start to run a little, you will burn a ton of calories. Trust me it will help...
-
Hi Chewife,
What you need is a positive replacement for that poison you were putting in your mouth....any kind of exercise will help your mind and your cravings....focusing on your quit should be priority, but a tired body will equal a quiet mind...

I've gained 15 lbs. in 24 days. What this means is that all along I was SUPPOSED to be around this weight, I think. I figure my body is going back to it's chemical free normal weight.

Yeah if you can stay at that weight without gaining more it would be fine. I couldnt Hell Ive been quit close to five months and Ive packed on 30 lbs and I stay damned active!! But its better than shoving poison in my face!! nico

I'm having a hard time with the complacency towards putting on weight. We have all shown some tremendous will and determination to stop using. We have made a decision that our lives and our bodies are important. Making the decision to adopt a healthy life style with a balanced diet and regular exercise is diametrically opposed to the decision to ingest poison everyday. If you want to do everything you can to quit and protect your quit, I would urge you to go "above and beyond" what you think you are capable of. Will you fail at exercise? Sure. I fail all the time. I set my goal just out of my reach everyday because that's how you make change.
You are now empowered by your mental strength of quit. Act on it. Use its power to make you who you want to be. I don't mean to preach but this is something I am very passionate about and is a corner stone of the foundation of my quit. Be the person you want to be.

Chewiefe I need to get you into the Souliman Professional Training School. There, you will learn the art of bending steel with your mind, foes will drop to your feet as you pass by just by the sight of awesomeness and your chosen attire of mini-skirts and stilettos will feel as good as warm apple pie as you walk the path.

I'm not showing complacency, all I'm saying is, at Day 19 or Day 25...don't freak out about it.
For me personally, I needed to got solid in my quit before I could tackle other things like exercise, diet, etc.
If you get too stressed about the 'side effects' of quitting, you may start to challenge yourself on the necessity of quitting. In an early quit, doubt can lead to weakness...and then failure.
Quit today.
Worry about tomorrow.....well....tomorrow.

I am putting my quit on here so it feels more official.
I was on here a couple years ago when I quit initially, I stayed quit for a long then for some stupid reason thought I could have one, mm-hmm...
Then I wanted one whenever I drank beer, then I decided I'd just have one during the day.
Working up to having a few pinches every other day. I told myself it wasn't much, but then I found a white smooth circular patch on the side of my tongue, that's my worst nightmare and one I think of everyday.
I made an appt. with my dentist and waiting that three hours was hell. I literally thought I just discovered a death sentence. The stuff that went through my head were things Id never thought of. They say people diagnosed with oral cancer usually only live 5 years. 5 years? I'd be 34, my kids would be 15, 8, and 7. Watching their Mother die? I was thinking where would my beloved horse go? How would my husband manage working? Who would take care of my kids?Would I surviv but lose my whole face?
On the way to the dentist I started crying in my car and asked Jesus to save me, I told him if he got me through this, I promised never to chew again.
It seemed so STUPID, that I could have cancer, caused by no-one but myself.
Why? Why in the world would I flirt with DEATH just to get that buzz?
Never again.
The dentist said it is most likely not cancerous. She said it looks like a spot where my molar is too sharp and has been rubbing. But she said with my history of chewing she will take pictures and measurements and have a follow-up.
Seriously the world has never been so beautiful as on the drive home!!
So, last night I have a few beers and the urge is so, so strong and can you believe I thought about caving?? After all that? Un-frickin-believable.
But I didn't, I just thought of that promise to God, and how guilty I would be.
So my last chew was 11:30 pm on November 21st.

wow I am gonna officially quit for my daughter and step son they keep on spitting in a cup and my step son accidently drank a bit of it and threw it up. I have a perfect smile and I don't wanna ruin it

I am putting my quit on here so it feels more official.

Glad your back Chewife.
If you were posting roll with a quit group previously you'll need to take some personal inventory and answer these 3 questions.
1. What happened?
2. Why did it happen?
3. What will you do different this time?
Jesus can't save you if you choose to keep putting poison in your face.... that's just my thoughts. Get over and post roll with your new group and quit today!

Glad to have you back chewife. I think we have all flirted with the idea of " just one more chew." It is important to always remember first and foremost we are addicts, and " one more" is not in our vocabularies. Don't worry about "never again" just worry about today. Tell yourself "today, I will not have any nictotone." If you can do that once a day you will be in good shape.

As a vet of KTC, even a fallen vet, you know how this works. Get your name on roll today and everyday otherwise you are wasting your time.

I think it is great that you are praying to be quit. That is fine, but YOU are the only one that can do it. Post roll, honor your word and get back into the KTC game. Lay off the booze is my other recommendation. Everyone craves when they drink and you do dumb things when you drink. So, why do it right now... Lay off it and get quit.

Do or Do Not! There is no try.
you need to get here. Stay here. Live here. Quit here until you leave this earth.
NAFAR. ODAAT period.

Aarrghhh! Whoever said lay off the booze was right! Feeling nicely buzzed and I can't believe how many times I am thinking of chew, literally every 5 minutes. Thank goodness for "Jalapeno Hot Salsa Jumbo Sunflower Seeds". Without them I'd be a sucker with my hubs' wintergreen Grizzly RIGHT ON THE COUNTER. I did hide it under my hat, but I know it's there.
I am looking forward to tomorrow evening when I don't have to deal with alcohol-induced cravings.

welcome back! I ran down and saw a few familiar names in your intro. one of the lasts posts here was a conversation that souli and nolaq were part of. They are still here, they are still quit. listen to dave, make a few friends, it helps. those guys have a ton of friends here, perhaps that's why they stuck around.

Stop lurking and post roll. Quitting isn't easy but you're making it a lot harder on yourself. Post Roll. Make that promise. Take nicotine off the table.
Oh, pull that can out from under the hat, dump it in the terlit, then shit on it. Don't flush either. Let hubby find it. If he's going be a stupid user he should hide it from you.
