So I went to bed last night, like every night for the past year, telling myself that "tomorrow will be the day." That tomorrow never came. Woke up, put in a dip, and went on as usual. Today, actually, started no different. But 11:11 in the afternoon is as good as 7:00 am right? I took out my dip about a half hour ago and felt horrible from still being that disquisting chewer and have decided that enough is enough. My teeth hurt. My gums hurt. My spitters and spilled. And the smell is horrible. I'm tired of the secrets. My husband doesn't even really know how much I chew. I read that the average dipper uses 1-3 cans a week. I use at least a can a day. It's expensive. We have bills to be paid piling up and every dip is a guilt trip of wasted money. Not to mention all the dental work that I've had done in the last year, and have to go in again today because my pain is back - now where I dip. I want to do it. I know I can. But I also have had many failed attempts. I am a grouchy bitter ugly woman without nicotine. I find my habit is to go from chew to smoking when trying to quit, only to hate smoking so bad that I revert back to chewing. This is going to be a very bumpy ride.

1 week ago today I had almost the same experience. I didn't wake up intending to quit, had a couple of dips in the morning, got fed up with the pain in my gums/cheek/head, and just decided to quit right then and there. I just joined a few minutes ago and I don't know what the general feeling is about nicotine patches and gum, but I'm using both and I find the gum to be particularly helpful because I can stick it in my lip and trick myself.
You CAN quit. You WILL quit.

This is a NO NIC site. If you use patches, gum, etc. then you are not quit.

The patches and gum are "helpful" because you're still feeding your body nicotine. You have not quit anything.
It's like an alcoholic who just quit his whiskey habit saying that vodka is "helpful." Yes, he isn't on whiskey any longer, but has he really accomplished anything?
Just quit. It's doable. It's not harder for you than it was for any of us. Are you man enough to do what's right?

You want to see what the general filling for nic gum and patches are go to my intro. They don't want you to post roll if you are on them because you are still giving yourself nic where everyone else ain't. In my honest opinion I don't agree with not helping people on the patch or gum because not everyone can go cold turkey. But I do agree with not posting roll until nic free. I never posted roll on the patch.

...because not everyone can go cold turkey.
I respectfully disagree. Everyone CAN go cold turkey. Some just choose not to because they are scared of a little pain. The large majority of those people fail. That is why we recommend against it.

9 days today, cold turkey. 1 can a day for at least 10 years.
You can do anything you put your mind to. It is all a game where cavers lose and quitters win!!
Fight it, the craving dies down after 10 or 20 minutes.
Be the master of your body, not a slave to your mind.

X2 I quit cold turkey. It took the death of my 49 year old uncle leaving behind his wife of 10 years, a 7 yr old son and a 4 yr old daughter to make me realize I could live without that crap in my mouth.
I used a lot of things to help quit, but cigarettes and cigars wasn't what helped. Here's what helped:
1. Get your butt in here and post roll. Everyday. (I've backslidden since I hit the hall, but I've recommitted myself to this site, my quit brothers, and those that are just quit).
2. At first I used the fake stuff. It made me sick enough to realize that I had been putting nasty crap in my body for 20+ years and that it wasn't even that good. It didn't take me long to quit the fake stuff.
3. You can try candy, gum, etc. The first month I lived off of wintergreen Lifesavers and gum. I still chew gum from time to time, but not like that first month or so.
4. I got my family's support. When my wife found out I had quit, she was very happy. Not supportive at first, but she came around. I also do some heavy praying to help me get through. It helps more that anything else.
5. 280 days later, I still get the urge, but I know now I've got the knowledge, my brothers and sisters, and tools to get me through my quit. Even though you hit the hall, you're still quitting the nic until you either cave or die. And I'm not caving! Are you?

X3...this is a cold turkey site. There is no posting in the quit groups while using nicotine...aka.....the bitch.
You're not addicted to dip, you are addicted to nicotine and the only way to quit...is to quit.

Just noticed you joined in March '08, with almost 600 posts to your name. Care to explain?

I could make all sorts of excuses. Husband was sick. I dealt by dipping. (Seemed logical at the time?) But all in all, I made a VERY poor discision to dip again. Now, my husband is still battling with god knows what and I was still dipping. Neither of us going anywhere except further from healthy. I have guilt (see Dec 2010). I've let down a lot of people everywhere. I enjoyed this group (June 08 rocked). And it's really disheartening to see the number June 08 post and where I could have been. I've got my shit together and determination in tow.

With the right amount of determination - strength - and accountability, yes they can. I did, so can you . X4.
You will have to find a much better excuse than that lame ass shit!

Alright guys, I ripped the patch off my arm. Although I still think quitting with help is better than not trying at all, I don't need to hear about how I'm not really quit. I'm all in.

Congrats!
Its gonna be rough for about 3-4 days. Shortly after that you'll thank us for showing you the way.
PM me if I can be of assistance.

redyota nailed it. The first thing you gotta do is get those first 3 days out of the way. You'll feel like crap. No reason to sugar coat it. You're going to be mean, irritable and grouchy as all get out. Don't quit. After 3 days, you'll get the nic out of your system. You'll feel some better then. Also, it'll screw with your sleep schedule. It did mine.
I'm happy you've took the right steps. I'll help you stay quit. Pm me if you ever need to talk or get through the fog.

You are more than welcome to come post back with the QWA's. You started with us, let's finish this together.

Day 2 - Harder than day 1. So much motivation kept me going on day 1. A new promise for a new life. Day 2 hits and it takes all that I am to remember why I am going through this torture. It's just my youngest and me at home since school started this morning. We've taken a walk, watched TV, taken naps (well, I've fallen asleep while he watched cartoons). I can't wait for this day to end. I have to work tonight. I never chewed at work, but I would smoke and basically count the hours to come home and have that refreshing stress-relieving dip. I'm already dreading it. Now, without smoking at work or chewing once I get home, I can only hope that I can muster up enough niceness to not get fired! I had so much planned to get done today and nothing was actually accomplished. My husband is going to freak out when he gets home. His quit was so easy. I don't think he understands completely what it's like. He's always supportive of my decisions even if it means putting up with a complete bitch, but I'm not sure if he quite gets that I literally feel like I can do nothing. I hope tomorrow is better, but I've got 1.5 days until I pass the 3 day physical withdrawal mark. I think beating my psyche isn't going to be easy either.

okay, I don't mean to be rude, but goddamn...stop romanticizing this sh!t. That's all it is: pure sh!t. You can't wait to get home so you can take that "stress-relieving dip"... get over it! I'm going to be honest here: your mind isn't right. You are a cave in the making. You don't want to quit; moreover, you want to come in here and be a little attention whore. You have two options: #1. get your mind right and quit OR don't get your mind right and don't quit. Either way, STOP the romance w/ the can. It's very, very effing annoying...*rant over*

Alright settle down both of you. I think kb gave you some pretty good advice actually and your reaction was a little harsh. I don't have to explain his message to you about romanticizing it, it's pretty self explanatory and maybe you should think about it a little bit

I don't even know what to say to all this. This is bullshit. I have always written everything. I guess this isn't the place to do it. Obviously all this is is a bunch of guys talking shit about "the support" we get and give. I suppose no one else here ever dreaded a situation that was a guarenteed trigger. I'd like to think that I wasn't alone in this, but every time I turn around, I got someone barking up my ass about some goddamned thing I'm not doing right.
Well, I'm not chewing. I'm typing. I'm reading. I'm doing everything I know how to stay occupied and not run out to the gas station. If that means writing out novels worth of bullshit here, doesn't that count for something?

Hey girl listen up...No one here really gives a fat shit if you are a girl or not...We have several females in the group and they are both respected members of the forum. Neither chewed, both smoked. KB81's comments were not personal (Well at least the first ones werent). I agree with him you are romanticizing this shit. Your mindset is fucked up. Believe it or not we all want the same thing that you want and that is for nohappysongs to be nicotene free. If you want some lollycoddling shit find somewhere else to quit because this aint it sister. We are men here (mostly) and we call it like we see it. If you are acting like a fuckstick, we call you a fuckstick. Right now your head aint right. You better change your mindset and quick. Quitting sucks. We have all been through what you are going through. If you just want to tell people to fuck off then great start with me I can take it. But if you want to be successful at quitting, get mad, get mad at UST they are the ones that addicted you and turned you out like a common whore. Get made and refuse to accept addiction any longer. We are here to support you but you better buck up and take a stronger stand against tobacco or I/we fear you will have trouble coming.
You can do this...We will help.

Day 2 - Harder than day 1. So much motivation kept me going on day 1. A new promise for a new life. Day 2 hits and it takes all that I am to remember why I am going through this torture. It's just my youngest and me at home since school started this morning. We've taken a walk, watched TV, taken naps (well, I've fallen asleep while he watched cartoons). I can't wait for this day to end. I have to work tonight. I never chewed at work, but I would smoke and basically count the hours to come home and have that refreshing stress-relieving dip. I'm already dreading it. Now, without smoking at work or chewing once I get home, I can only hope that I can muster up enough niceness to not get fired! I had so much planned to get done today and nothing was actually accomplished. My husband is going to freak out when he gets home. His quit was so easy. I don't think he understands completely what it's like. He's always supportive of my decisions even if it means putting up with a complete bitch, but I'm not sure if he quite gets that I literally feel like I can do nothing. I hope tomorrow is better, but I've got 1.5 days until I pass the 3 day physical withdrawal mark. I think beating my psyche isn't going to be easy either.
okay, I don't mean to be rude, but goddamn...stop romanticizing this sh!t. That's all it is: pure sh!t. You can't wait to get home so you can take that "stress-relieving dip"... get over it! I'm going to be honest here: your mind isn't right. You are a cave in the making. You don't want to quit; moreover, you want to come in here and be a little attention whore. You have two options: #1. get your mind right and quit OR don't get your mind right and don't quit. Either way, STOP the romance w/ the can. It's very, very effing annoying...*rant over*
you know what? fuck you.
me...eff a chick who chews or has chewed?? No thanks babe
but some chick is supposed to fuck a guy who chews or chewed. boy, that seems a little sexist doesn't it? See how often you get laid with that attitude :o
Alright settle down both of you. I think kb gave you some pretty good advice actually and your reaction was a little harsh. I don't have to explain his message to you about romanticizing it, it's pretty self explanatory and maybe you should think about it a little bit
I don't even know what to say to all this. This is bullshit. I have always written everything. I guess this isn't the place to do it. Obviously all this is is a bunch of guys talking shit about "the support" we get and give. I suppose no one else here ever dreaded a situation that was a guarenteed trigger. I'd like to think that I wasn't alone in this, but every time I turn around, I got someone barking up my ass about some goddamned thing I'm not doing right.
Well, I'm not chewing. I'm typing. I'm reading. I'm doing everything I know how to stay occupied and not run out to the gas station. If that means writing out novels worth of bullshit here, doesn't that count for something?
Hello long name about happy songs -
It is all part of it. But when you post something about how you feel, if you are sounding like you are just a little too sad about leaving your lip dirt behind, you are going to get called on that. That is part of the support. That thought process will lead you to your local cancer provider. That line of thinking will trick you into stopping on your way home from work this evening when you don't have a computer to type on to let that emotion out. You need to hear what they said. Because they're right. The purpose of expressing yourself on here is to get feedback that will help you stay quit. Sometimes that feedback is harsh, but most of the time it is productive and intended help your quit and theirs.
Don't turn off good advice simply because it comes out of a busted, loud speaker.

You want to accuse these folk of not giving support? Maybe you should take the time to listen to their advice. I mean a member since march of 05 with 610 posts, and on day 2. How about you start reading like you say you are, get some accountability for yourself and accumulate some days. Oh yeah, and romanticizing shit...shit that kills you...well that is a bit crazy.

Support? You want to whine about the 'support' you're 'supposed' to be getting?
I know a female quitter on here has taken steps to reach out to you with PMs offering support. I also know you haven't answered her back. Makes me question if you really want support or an excuse to jump off here and back in the tin.
Either put up or shut up. No time for whiners.

So here is the thing. You want support the hand was put out you just need to grab it. Yes it does suck and yes we have to change the way we think. It will suck and if your husband really loves you then he will stick by your side and deal with the "BITCH" You are more than welcome to put what you want but at the same time you have been on here before then you know these guys will chew you a new ass. If you dont want to get chewed out then answer my PM and we will talk on the side.
You have to want this and by the way you are talking I honestly dont know if you do. If you want this as bad as you say then stop with the excuses and prove that you want this. Post roll every day and when someone reaches out to help you respond!!
