I have been dipping off and on for right at 15 years. I'd quit here and there, never more than a year. My wife was never a fan of it, so I comprimised with her, and wouldn't dip around her. I finally realized that I owe it to her and my kids to quit, and I have been researching different things lately, which is why I found this forum. I appreciate any ideas, but the plan seems to be a good one. I was urged by a successful quitter to pick a date and prepare by limiting the amount of dip I use, frequency, and also to see how the cravings feel. I am in day three of that, and as I sit here at 3:52pm, I have had 3 dips today, with the 4th not coming before 4:30 (I make a certain time laps between dips, and it is a mind game is all.). I typically have that knocked out before morning meeting at 7:00 am. With luck, on Monday or Tuesday I'll toss any dip I have left and go from there. I am not against fake dip, just figured I'll cross that path when I get there. The reason people don't quit, me included, is because we didn't want to. I want to this time. Dipped between 1/2 and 1 1/2 cans a day, anything from kayak to cope to grizzly.

Drew,
The advice you got from your "successful quitter friend" is bullshit. Here's the KTC advice: Flush every tin you have in the house down the toilet NOW. Then log back on here and learn how to quit like fuck. No one here is going to hold your hand while you try to wean off nicotine. It's not possible.

Ok, I'm not up for debate, since I still have the junk in my body from earlier, and am all ears for education and support. As stated, I am for real this time, so, what now? It's all been pitched, no need to lie about it.

Good. Now go to the intro link and learn how to post roll. You will be in the April '15 group. Posting roll in that group is your promise to us, and more importantly, to yourself that will not use nicotine in ANY form. No dip, no leaf, no cigs, no e-cigs, no patches, no nic gum. None of it. Once you post roll let's talk again. In the meantime, you will continue to get advice from quitters on this forum. Listen and read as much as possible.

I cannot say it any better than Joel Spitzer, This is geared toward smokers, but is equally true for chewing tobacco:
Quitting by the gradual withdrawal method. I discuss this method quite extensively in my seminars. I always tell how if there is anyone attending who knows a smoker who they really despise they should actively encourage them to follow the gradual withdrawal "cut down" approach. They should call them up every day and tell them to just get rid of one cigarette. Meaning, if they usually smoke 40 a day, just smoke 39 on the first day of the attempt to quit. The next day they should be encouraged to smoke only 38 then 37 the next day and so on. Then the seminar participant should call these people every day to congratulate them and encourage them to continue. I must reemphasize, this should only be done to a smoker you really despise.
You see, most smokers will agree to this approach. It sounds so easy to just smoke one less each day. Thirty-nine cigarettes to a two pack a day smoker seems like nothing. The trick is to convince the person that you are only trying to help them. For the first week or two the one downside is you have to pretend to like the person and you have to talk to them every day. They won't whine too bad either. When they are down to 30 from 40, they may start to complain a little. You really won't be having fun yet. When the payoff comes is about three weeks into the scam. Now you've got them to less than half their normal amount. They are in moderate withdrawal all the time.
A month into the approach you've got them into pretty major withdrawal. But be persistent. Call them and tell them how great they are doing and how proud you are of them. When they are in their 35th to 39th day, you have pulled off a major coup. This poor person is in peak withdrawal, suffering miserably and having absolutely nothing to show for it. They are no closer to ending withdrawal than the day you started the process. They are in chronic withdrawal, not treating him or herself to one or two a day, but actually depriving him or herself of 35 to 40 per day.
If you want to go in for the kill, when you have them down to zero, tell them don't worry if things get tough, just take a puff every once in a while. If you can get them to fall for this, taking one puff every third day, they will remain in withdrawal forever. Did I mention you really should despise this person to do this to them? It is probably the cruelest practical joke that you could ever pull on anyone. You will undercut their chance to quit, make them suffer immeasurably and likely they will at some point throw in the towel, return to smoking, have such fear of quitting because of what they went through cutting down, that they will continue to smoke until it kills them. Like I said, you better really despise this person.
Hopefully there is no one you despise that much to do this to them. I hope nobody despises themselves enough to do this to themselves. Quitting cold turkey may be hard but quitting by this withdrawal technique is virtually impossible. If you have a choice between hard and impossible, go for hard. You will have something to show at the end of a hard process, but nothing but misery at the end of an impossible approach. Quit cold and in 72 hours it eases up. Cut down and it will basically get progressively worse for weeks, months, or years if you let it.
I should mention, this is not a new technique. It has been around for decades. Talk to every long-term ex-smoker you know. Try to find one person who successfully used the cut down approach, gradually reducing to eventual zero over weeks or months. You will be hard pressed to find even one person who fits this bill. One other perspective that should help you see the flaw in the approach. Look at people here who had once quit for months or years and then relapsed. One day, after such a long time period, they take a drag and are smoking again. If one puff can do this after years or decades, guess what it will do after days or hours of being smoke free. It puts the smoker back to square one. All that any ex-smoker has to do to avoid relapse or chronic withdrawal is to - NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF!

Drew it's simple, not easy; quit one day at a time!!! I'm just finishing up doing that for the 1,002nd time, it does feel good!
-
Morning Drewdrew, gonna be a long day, stay on the page and read as much as you can. For me it's the thought of docters cutting a muscle out of my arm and building a new tongue, that really doesn't work, because all your salava glands are fried from the radiation treatments. You may be able to talk, but every meal, 3 times a day comes from a blender, that your wife makes and poors in a tube. Seen it bro.... My father-in-law is doing it right now as I type. I dipped proudly for 38 years....I'm done. Your done. Or we all die! I'll be praying for you today Drewdrew, and for every person associated with KTC.
-
Thank you. Today starts day 3, or ends day 2, depends on how you look at it. I feel better today than I have yet. I tossed the can I had, and the emergency can, right after posting the origional post here, and pray that I can get others to jump on this with me. I have already been recruiting some dudes t work. Aside from the habit part, I feel that I am going through this easier than I thought. It does help that I am extremely tired at night, so I do not notice any sleep problems. Thank you all for your support. If anybody reading this and is "scared" or "not ready" to quit, quit. The hardest part is doing it. Do like Zillah told me, flush the crap and roll with it. Thank you all for support, I know I need it. I know I am not above this, and I know that an addiction is nothing to make small potatoes of.
-
Great choice Drew. The addict in you thought "tapering off" was a good idea. You know why? Because its rarely successful. The road to quitting is arduous, but you put one foot in front of the other and you move on down the road.
-
Remember, keep active on here and know you are never alone with your quit. If guys don't want to get on board with you at work, set a good example for them and they might want what you have in the future. You will feel better soon, but remember you will never be cured and will always be an addict.
-
Tossing every last bit of the poison is an excellent start Drew! My advice is don't recruit local quitters right now, just focus on yourself. You need to be selfish with your quit right now. You have hundreds of quitters at your fingertips with the KTC, use us as a resource - a real life dude that you convince to quit probably isn't going to help much, because the only way to be quit is if they want to be.
I failed at quitting 30-40 times, most of which because my wife guilted me into quitting when I didn't want to. Only when I was sick of poisoning myself did I quit.

Congrats on Day 5 Drewdrew. You're probably through the worst of "the suck" by now, and the brain is clearing. Good job posting roll every day. I quit with you ODAAT.

Zillah, I know if you didn't somebody else would've, but thanks for jumping in and correcting me. My goal was honestly throw that crap at the end of monday or tuesday, which, if I was to have done it that way, would land me at day 1 or 0 now. Thank you. I'll never forget reading "flush it all now," getting up and doing it with a smile on my face. Thank you again. For the record: I have gained 27,000 pounds, and have been hitting the fiber the last 12 hours...if you don't hear from me later today, know I'm in the john losing weight.

Welcome to freedom brother ... have a plan for tonight, stay strong and resolved! Good luck on the poop, but no pics ...

Good luck on the poop, but no pics ...
I need the luck there, it's been a while. About tonight, not a partier, and the kids and I are going to set up my new grill, walk around the block and choke a few people who won't sign my petition, and go to bed way before mid most likely.

Day 5! I feel better than before, and have a good outlook on things. I have my "quit bag" I call it close by. Seeds, fake dip, coffee grounds, hard candy, bottle of high ass level caffeine soda and toothpicks. I found myself putting the can of Baccoff in my pocket while building a grill today. The strangest part about all of this, at this point, is realizing what I've put my poor wife through for all these years. I also realize what Ive put my parents through, and my poor ass throat and teeth. I guess the poison is wearing off, which makes me think like that. I won't go into beliefs, but as strong a Christian I am, I know the devil hits us where we are vulnerable. I am getting bigger temptations now. in days past a bunch of jabs were coming, now they are less frequent, but hitting harder, like a good rib shot. I'll fight. I look down and see a bunch of these buttholes urging me on. I didn't have this before in any of my adventures, thank you. I don't party, and my new year plans are watching the ball drop with my kids, while destroying the last bottle of eggnog.

Love the Quit Bag. Don't leave home without it. Great start pard, put some water on that list. Regarding the faith, stand strong, I throw my keys under the bed every night..... That puts me on my knees every morning. 'winker'
Enjoy your family tonight, Show them a improved, calm, patient, in control, Dad, that doesn't have bad breath, or cancer!

Give us a report Brother... I see your name everywhere, awesome! Looks like your turning your energy to KTC. Once we realize we are addicts, we can start turning that characteristic into something positive. I'm a new addict to my wife, family, kids sports events, Hunting, Golfing. And focused now to to kill the Nic...B@$$!
We are all addicts, you pick.... Poison/Cancer or integrity/brotherhood.

Stay strong Drew you can do it. I like the quit bag - I'm trying to find sugar-free lifesavers/hard candy...don't want to chew sugar free gum all the time. I heard chewing gum allows you to inhale a lot of air, which makes you bloated, which makes you fart more! Reading all your stories in here keeps me motivated and definitely helps the itch. thanks guys

Well, a couple hours ago hit a week! Let's celebrate with a fat cheeseburger! Life is good bro. Got a few local friends interested but scared, and talking to a few noobs on the site. oh, almost forgot....no more orange stained fingers!!!!

As I walked out this morning, day 9, I thought that it felt great to be off of the junk. I got 1/2 mile down the road and realized I forgot my quit bag (gum, toothpicks, seeds, fake dip and candy). I kept driving. Not only did I not go back (I would've for dip back in the day), but I didn't go to the store and reapply any of these things. I think that I am reforming my total habit and dependency mindset. Granted, would I have forgotten the coffee, I would've went back. Didn't touch anything that wasn't breakfast or lunch all day. Managed to jack up roll call, that's it. Keep it up folks, we got this. As the fog diminishes, the sleep gets better. These cold sweats suck. I hope I'm toward the end of those. This is my update folks, again, thank you all. Never thought Id call a bunch of foggy ass addicts my friends, but you are.

You are killing this quit, way to go! Never be afraid to use your quit tools though, I still gnaw on tea tree toothpicks during Lions games (guess that is over for awhile).

Update day 13: the quit is great. No headaches, sweats or anything really. I fight of cravings with seeds or hard candy, I feel good. I'll post in the quit group once a day, but disagree with all the side work that is going on in there, not what I signed on for. Those who have been talking to me, thank you, it will continue. Let's all quit, it can be done.

Well done Drew, good to quit with you today. Still alot of places on this sight to help people. For me that's what it's about. Use what helps you, and leave the other. Congrats on 13, glad your feeling better. And also for me anyway, not worrying about cancer makes for a soft pillow! ODAAT.

Take what you need, leave the rest.
Just make sure you are on roll everyday.
Congrats on the 13 days!

April groups are always a little crazy. Hang tough. You are one of the early leaders and horses I'd bet on in your group. Don't let bullshit derail you. You've gotten some great advice and helped a lot of people on the road to success.
Quit with you today double drew.

I feel good. I am not worried about me at all. I believe we lost 2-3 people, you can't be sure, but it may be due to the lack of and type of support offered. Again, no effect on me, but people are leaving the site and erasing emails and phone numbers. I know I know I'm just a new guy and shouldn't talk about how things are done, but the point has come where people are leaving, and would rather quit alone, knowing that it is nearly impossible. It is sad really. I won't leave. Since day 1, hour 1 actually, I've been getting advice and hope from those ahead of me. I hope that I can get somebody to quit, and not be an honored member here that has a number and a reputation. I'd rather help somebody quit then have several of them leave, because of me, and do God knows what away from the site. Thank all of you who support me, because although the last few days have been a breeze, this was the hardest thing I have ever done. The hardest. I have done a lot if things. Lot of stuff hanging on te wall, name printed a lot. Hardest thing. I vow to not suck nicotine today, and vow to work hard to keep people in this program. I've said too much, later buttholes.

Drew I wasn't saying you should leave your group, but that you should come visit to get out of the madhouse that is called April for a bit.
Keep up the Quit!

Way to persevere. This quit is for you, and from where I sit, you are owning it big time. Nice work.

April groups are always a little crazy. Hang tough. You are one of the early leaders and horses I'd bet on in your group. Don't let bullshit derail you. You've gotten some great advice and helped a lot of people on the road to success.
Quit with you today double drew.
I feel good. I am not worried about me at all. I believe we lost 2-3 people, you can't be sure, but it may be due to the lack of and type of support offered. Again, no effect on me, but people are leaving the site and erasing emails and phone numbers. I know I know I'm just a new guy and shouldn't talk about how things are done, but the point has come where people are leaving, and would rather quit alone, knowing that it is nearly impossible. It is sad really. I won't leave. Since day 1, hour 1 actually, I've been getting advice and hope from those ahead of me. I hope that I can get somebody to quit, and not be an honored member here that has a number and a reputation. I'd rather help somebody quit then have several of them leave, because of me, and do God knows what away from the site. Thank all of you who support me, because although the last few days have been a breeze, this was the hardest thing I have ever done. The hardest. I have done a lot if things. Lot of stuff hanging on te wall, name printed a lot. Hardest thing. I vow to not suck nicotine today, and vow to work hard to keep people in this program. I've said too much, later buttholes.
Quittin with you every day Drew.

Update day 13: the quit is great. No headaches, sweats or anything really. I fight of cravings with seeds or hard candy, I feel good. I'll post in the quit group once a day, but disagree with all the side work that is going on in there, not what I signed on for. Those who have been talking to me, thank you, it will continue. Let's all quit, it can be done.
HANG TOUGH DREW, if you want come post in march. we are a small group that rarely has any controversy. Just pure Quit!

Day 15! I don't have much to report, other than the quit is strong. Since probably Wednesday I've been tired. No, really tired. Today was bad. I guess because it was a slow day at work, so it was all I could do to stay awake. Thank you all for the support and kind words.

The fatigue will subside. It's just another trick your addict brain uses to make you give it the Nicotine it wants. Fight through it and get your brain used to the new chemical free existence. It gets better from here on out just be careful in the fogs that, at least to me, seemed to roll in during the 30s, 70s, and just after HOF. Stay close to your group and especially your supporters... you can count me in.

On a cold midnight shift in about 2004 or 2005 I came across the idea to write up a story. Binder and Smirnoff was born. It has nothing to do with the quit, just a tale of two buddies. Enjoy. Or don't, I don't care.
Binder and Smirnoff
Randy Binder was a good man. Good man meaning he stayed out of prison most of the time, (that is about it). His father was a coal miner in northern Minnesota, and owned several pet-grooming businesses in and around St. Paul. Randy's father taught him at an early age what was right and what was wrong. Some of this soaked in and some didn't. Randy's mother was a part-time cashier at a local Shell station, part-time cab driver, part-time librarian, part-time locksmith, part-time chimney sweeper, part-time call girl and a full-time waitress at Big Jims (the best damn catfish north of twin cities.) Randy's mother brought home around $1.5 million a year, and his dad boozed most of that away by October. Randy knew that if he had a chance in this world, he either needed to become a professional wrestler, a logger, or a mail man up in Canada. Growing up was hard, so hard in fact, that Randy took a job cleaning the floors at a peep-show at the early age of 8. At 8 years old, a boy doesn't really know what's going on, but he figured it out one day. An old feller named Wilksberg got pulled out of the booth by a husky man who worked for the federal prison system. It turns out Wilksberg was on parole, and this kind of establishment was against his release conditions. Since there was still 30 seconds on the timer in the booth, little Randy decided to take a gander at what seemed to be so popular. What Randy saw was a tangled up mess of naked women, rabid dogs, a little donkey, and a guy dressed up like Roy Rogers. This scared little Randy and he remained a virgin until the ripe age of 28. He worked mostly odd jobs. He once cleaned billboards along the interstate for $4 an hour, and even learned to be one of the guys who drove a shit truck. You know the kind, the trucks that suck the shit out of the port-a-johns. Randy really liked this job. "I see a lot of fine ladies at the fair grounds," he said each morning when his mother told him that he needed to quit that stinky job. He did meet plenty of women though, and even met Janice there. Janice was, well let's say plump to say the least. Ok, Janice was a good 325, maybe 350. No, seriously, even with her two amputated legs, she was still well over a triple. For the first three years of their marriage, Randy didn't know Janice was in a wheelchair, he just thought she was very short, since the wheelchair couldn't be seen under all the body rolls and clothing. Janice made Randy quit the crapper job, and move into town to become a dog catcher. One day on the job Randy got worried that his life was over, and up and moved to Great Falls Montana, on his lunch break. Just outside of Mandan North Dakota, he ran into Peter Smirnoff, and it changed his life forever.
Peter Smirnoff was a German-born, Arabian-looking, Spanish-speaking, South American-looking Russian that had blood lines all around. His father was a captain in the French army back in WWII, and his mother was a crab boat deck hand off the coast of Alaska, need I say more. Peter's birth was an accident, in fact, Peter was in a foster home at the age of 3 weeks. Ok, Peter was not, his mother left him there when she went out to sea for months on end. Peter's father died early in the war, not before donating DNA samples to thousands, if not tens of thousands of underage girls along the front. Peter's father is the sole reason for the baby boomer population of today. This shocked Peter when he found this out last November, because he had married three of his sisters in his life, and slept with nine others. Thankfully no children were born of these ignorant kissing and banging siblings. Peter's whole goal in life was to marry Kristy Thornton of Great Falls Montana as she was the only girl his age in America that he wasn't related to. He set out on the journey of all journeys......actually no, he lived in Kalispell, so it was only a 4 hour drive. Following a snow plow on the trip, Peter decided it was safe to only stop when the plow driver did. The plow driver apparently had a urination device, because Peter pissed himself. Peter pissing himself has nothing to do with this story, but it is funny. Peter pissed through his pants, into the seat cushion, onto the floor, and into the back seat. Some of his piss worked its way out the door crack and froze, making it hard to open the door. The car still smells like urine. The plow driver threw snow so high to the right that the Great Falls sign was covered up, and they drove and drove, smelling like piss. The "welcome to North Dakota" sign made Peter chuckle..."those kids and their pranks." So it came to be that his life would forever change when he hit that off ramp in Mandan.
..."Sure, I can drive, I have half a tank left. That should get us to Canadian border right?" Randy said to Peter over coffee. Peter and Randy met up at the gas station when they happened to meet in Mandan. They talked to one another for nearly an hour telling their stories and so on. Both depressed, they decided that they would be good friends and wanted to go to northern Canada, where Randy's wife would never find them (wheelchairs don't do too well in the ice and snow). They sold Peter's car to a used car lot for $400 and bought a .44, some ammo a bag of weed and lunch. "damn, I knew we should've gotten gas! Oh well" said Peter. They hit the trail, headed north about noon that day. Sometime about 12:02 the fuel pump went out of the car and thy pulled over. "hmm, I think we got a flat tire Peter, go fix it" said Randy as he stomped his foot to the Spice Girls playing on the radio. Peter, knowing a thing or two about cars, knew it was the pump, and looked around the car for some jerry-rigging supplies. After finding a coat hanger, some belly-button lint, an mm and some toothpaste, Peter got the fuel pump working just like new again. They were on the their way, and before the night was over, they had an audio book of War and Peace, and Charlie Daniels Band greatest hits, a serious road trip.
"Antler ND 32 miles" read the sign. "You know that means Canadian border is about 34 miles right?" asked Randy. "What should we do with the gun?" Peter gave a smart looking grin, "these Canadians can find a little tiny piece of anything in the gas tank of in the fabric of the seats. We will put the gun on the dash and the ammo on the seat." Worried, but willing, Randy placed the items where Peter said to.
"Whoa there, where you headin' to there?" asked the border officer. "Smoking Tent or Erwood, sir," said Peter, who was now driving. "Do you guys there have any funs there, or ammo there, there?" The officer looked right at the gun, and Randy said "no sir, just luggage." The officer tore through the luggage, the gas tank, the glove box, sent a dog under the car, uninflated the tires, and even looked in the seats. "ok, there, you have a good day there, and remember, up toward Swan River they got about 5 foot of snow, this Taurus wont make it there. There, have a good trip there." "I told you, that is the oldest trick in the book. I have been to Canada a zillion times, could have brought the whole army here one piece at a time on the dash board, " said Peter who was feeling pretty good about his luck, since he had never been to Canada.
At Virden, the two traded the car for a '78 Dodge pickup with 375,000 miles on it. The attendant who sold it warned "it gets 8 miles to a gallon on gas and 3 miles per quart on oil." The pickup did well, and since the guys were drinking Schlit's by the gallon, about the time to take a piss, the Dodge needed oil again. All was going great until they hit the jct at hwy 264, because that isn't all they hit. Randy was driving, Peter was singing proud to be an American out the window and the two of them used more Schlitz than gas so far. The moose wasn't in a hurry to cross the road. She did cross, and when the Didge hit her, Randy was going about 95 miles per hour. Peter took a hoof to the shoulder, but lived to finish out this story. Randy was ejected from the car and landed on a bow of pine needles. "Are you ok Peter?" yelled Randy who was worried since the truck was on fire, and all the empty Schlitz cans were popping like mini explosions. "I am good, but I can't get the Lee Greenwood tape out!" Peter yelled from inside the inferno. "get out dipshit! forget the tape!" Randy somewhat liked his new friend, but hey, that is hot over there, screw pulling him from the fire. After more yelling, Peter finally got out of the fire. Peter was a burned mess of a human. He was no longer holding the appearance of a human, actually. He looked like an animal that doesn't get completely burned in a forest fire. "Now what Randy! We aren't go no wheels!" Peter managed to yell. Randy thought this was funny and said "We are close to Erwood man." Peter said "what do you care, it's over anyway. I will die soon. I'm glad you continued to drink beer and clip your fingernails while I was in the fire." Peter was very angry at Randy, and had to keep pulling the skin up on his right hand like a glove. "Piss on it, I'm leaving," said Peter. "That is it Peter! You actually are smart!" Peter seemed confused, and was still smoking from the fire. "You said piss on it. we both haven't pissed since Russell, we might be able to piss a hole in the snow and ice and make a house....or even a fort!!!!" Said Randy who was not kind of grossed out by Peter's burned face and body.
The two pissed and drank, pissed and drank, and pissed and drank. About 9am they slid down into the piss hold and looked around. It seems that their piss tunneled into an underground cavern. "I will go get the moose," said Randy as he ran up to the crash site. The guys dragged the moose by the tail into their fort and cooked and ate it. They are in all that day, don't ask me how. The next morning while walking the cavern, Peter discovered gold, which he buried. He did this because he didn't want Randy to see it. It was when he returned to the piss fort entrance to kill Randy that he found a note. The note read: Peter, I went to hunt moose. Be back before first thaw..Randy." That was a weird note in peter's mind. Why would he hunt moose when there was little deer and bears running around the fort?
While hunting, Randy became mighty thirsty, and headed back to the fort. When he arrived, Peter had made a bag out of moose hide and was toting 200 pounds of gold across the road. "what's in the bag?" asked Randy. Peter looked at him with the one eye that hadn't burned all the way. "gold. GOLD Randy! and it's all mine!" Peter ran into the ditch when one of his legs finally gave out. You see, his legs were charred so bad and clear to the bone, and they finally gave way and broke off. Randy drug him back into the piss fort and poured Schlitz on peter's nubs. They lived off of pine cones and deer the rest of the winter. By spring Peter was healing ok. He could not walk, talk, more or do anything but drink and eat what randy put in his mouth. Randy knew this, and made Peter go on diets sometimes. He also had to move him every 2 or 3 weeks, because all of his piss and shit would start melting the snow.
Randy tried to kill Peter but he was so burned in the fire, when Randy shot him, it was hard to hit anything. He figured a head shot would do him in, but the damn thing went right through and into the wall. Peter just looked up at Randy with a sad look every time he was shot. For Christmas, Randy took Peter out to get fresh air. He hung him from a tree branch by his arm and went into town for beer. When he returned, he found a grizzly bear eating Peter's good arm and scared the bear off with a warning shot. Peter now was an inch from death, so Randy left him out in the cold that night. Surprisingly, in the morning, he awoke to find Peter in the fort, chewing on Randy's shoe. "Are you hungry boy?" he asked. Randy got some fat and bones out of the trash/toilet, and stuck them on the ground in front of Peter. Little episodes like this happened all winter long.
On the 4th of July (not a big Canadian Holiday) Randy took the now armless and legless Peter to a strip joint in town. He took a dancer gunpoint and told her to sleep with Peter. Peter never seemed happier. Peter, who was ate up completely with infection, did not know that the dancer was another of his sisters. Randy laughed all the way home, and made fun of Peter for banging another sister. He then rolled the windows up and farted.
Early in the fall Randy cleaned up Peter's limbs and found that there were little nubs on each of them. He crafted little legs, out of deer legs, and got them attached to Peter's little nubs. It only took about a month for Peter to learn to walk on them. Randy taught him to run, to forage for berries grasses. One day in late November, he let Peter go for a run alone. 7 shots were heard from down in the piss hole. Randy laughed, Peter was still mostly bullet proof like before. Peter would always come back, a few more holes in his leather like flesh. One morning after a fight over who gets the gun, Randy tied a pair of antlers on Peter and locked him out of the piss hole. Later that afternoon, Randy went to look for his friend and found a buck mounting a doe. When he got closer, he realized the buck was actually Peter, and the doe wasn't a doe at all. The doe was Kristy Thornton, remember the gal that Peter wasn't related to. Ironically, Kristy and her friend had the exact same series of events happen to them, and now she is the animal looking, bullet proof one. Randy went to the piss-hole and was going to shoot himself, but there was no ammo, so he hitchhiked into town and moved to Killeen Texas and became a plumber.
Peter was shot, killed, mounted and eaten only a mile from where he finally found his love. Kristy's father shot him, and got a ticket by the Canadian police for shooting an animal after dark. Kristy later had a litter of fawns in the spring. They all died.
Peter's mother still runs a crab boat in Alaska to this day, though she suffers from TypeII Diabetes.

I'm a little worried for Randy's parents. Will his mom still be able to support his dad's drinking habit when she gets old and her looks go. You kind of left us hanging on that one.

I was hoping to get it picked up by networks and make this a TV series, not a movie. I left several avenues open on purpose. If I had to guess though, I'd say the mother died and the father is now a priest...only thing that makes sense to me.

That makes sense. You can't juggle all those careers without being sent to an early grave. I wish I would have asked the question in live chat. Then I may have gotten some sleep last night.

Ok everybody, the story I posted last week just had to be posted. I know reviews are sketchy, but I'm not a writer. Thanks for reading it, for those who did.
About the quit, I'm wrecking it. Woke up to day 25 today. I feel great. The gas and headaches are all but gone, and I'm still suffering from heartburn or reflux, whatever it is. I enjoy my time away from the can. I spend some time in ktc chat, if there is nothing going on at home, and found some good people in there. Thank you all for support and thoughts and words. This is not an easy haul, but one that can be done.

I am just about to day 30, the quit is strong. Had a crazy dream though.
My wife and I were in our car headed to a funeral. The picture on the memorial page was a small boy whom I didn't recognize, I didn't say it was a funny dream because it was far from it. My wife was bawling and wouldn't stop. I looked at her and said he is ok. She kept asking what I meant by that and I told her it was just a dream. To answer her look of confusion, I pulled a Kodak can out of my coat (I didn't even dip Kodak, strange) and she smiled. I tossed the can and we stopped the car. I do not believe we went on to the little guy's funeral, but I do not recall the rest of the dream.
I have had the craving dream, I am sure we all have, and didn't feel the need to relay those. This one, however, was a little differently. I woke up happy from this dream and posted roll. Quit on douchebags!

Your body and mind are going through some bullshit right now Drew. Through my first 30 days or so, I had some straight up crazy shit ass dreams. My wife caught me sleepwalking more that once. I took a piss in my laundry basket. I tried to leave the house, but it was dead bolted. I dreamed about burning buildings, car wrecks...all kinds of weird shit. And like you, sometimes there were references to dip, but never my can of choice. It was always some off brand that I didn't dip.
All I can offer you is this - you are winning. Your body is throwing a temper tantrum right now, and it's trying to convince you that you need your fix. Fuck that.
You are 30 days on the right side of freedom. Freedom is awesome, but like the man says, it isn't free. You gotta work and fight for it.
I'm glad to see you're fighting for it.

Your body and mind are going through some bullshit right now Drew. Through my first 30 days or so, I had some straight up crazy shit ass dreams. My wife caught me sleepwalking more that once. I took a piss in my laundry basket. I tried to leave the house, but it was dead bolted. I dreamed about burning buildings, car wrecks...all kinds of weird shit. And like you, sometimes there were references to dip, but never my can of choice. It was always some off brand that I didn't dip.
All I can offer you is this - you are winning. Your body is throwing a temper tantrum right now, and it's trying to convince you that you need your fix. Fuck that.
You are 30 days on the right side of freedom. Freedom is awesome, but like the man says, it isn't free. You gotta work and fight for it.
I'm glad to see you're fighting for it.
I knew if I voiced that I would get folks sayin they had weird stuff dreamin on too. Thanks.
Yep drew day 27 here weird ass dreams here but I don't give a shit I'm beating this bitch! Stay strong my brother we got that shit! Proud to be quit with you!

I am just about to day 30, the quit is strong. Had a crazy dream though.
My wife and I were in our car headed to a funeral. The picture on the memorial page was a small boy whom I didn't recognize, I didn't say it was a funny dream because it was far from it. My wife was bawling and wouldn't stop. I looked at her and said he is ok. She kept asking what I meant by that and I told her it was just a dream. To answer her look of confusion, I pulled a Kodak can out of my coat (I didn't even dip Kodak, strange) and she smiled. I tossed the can and we stopped the car. I do not believe we went on to the little guy's funeral, but I do not recall the rest of the dream.

Dude, my cave dreams never went away. Occasionally I'll just have a random dream where I'm either dipping or smoking and wake up with boatloads of remorse and guilt until I realize it never actually happen. It will always be buried down deep somewhere and sometimes make a cameo in my dreams.

Drew,
Congrats on getting to the 1 Month milestone. And yes, the dip dreams are part of it. I still get 'em once in awhile. Scary as shit...and then you wake up and it's all good because you're still QLF !!! Quit with you today.

Thanks Ginet. Thinking of the early days of the suck give me peace of mind. I'm starting to get a handle on my head and confident in myself now, so I think of the month or two before the quit. I thinking of all of the things we all speak of on the site: the stained-ass fingers and clothes, being late for stuff, knowing everybody at the T store, sneaking a dip like a damn 15 year old. It saddens me that I did that to myself and my family. As the fog lifts, I think this will motivate me as much if not more than other things.

First of all thanks everybody for the kind words and thoughts and prayers. The old man is in a far better place, but my mom doesn't know how to coop. Next, don't brag on your quit. I told a few people of the craves that hit me on my 1280 mile drive the other day. I fought the thoughts off with tricks, distractions whatever, but did. Today I woke up and felt good, until the quietness and boredom set in as I was the first awake. I drove 30 minutes to the next town to buy a can of Smokey Mountain...I'm stubborn, I will not lost this battle. I just got up from the table with my cousin who, I was worried, would bother me with his Copenhagen problem. He quit two weeks ago, unknown to me. Happy quit to all!

Jump on in. Get you some quit started.
Respect what life has thrown at you, and how you have handled your quit.
I quit with you today. Congrats on your C note.

I'm not going to reply to each of these, though I should. I just now saw all the kind words, thank you. From legends to noobs, all the words are great, and it goes to show why we are here. I don't get all up for milestones and stuff, but do know that it is a big deal. I keep telling rookie bitches in chat that the biggest two days I've had in this quit were day 2 and day 7. 365 will be huge, but the rest are +1. Each of us quits our own way, and with our own ways of dealing with it. Big Sexy likes to let dudes play a version of hide the hotdog on his body, while I like seeds or toothpicks.
I've met a ton of awesome people during the first 100, and hope to keep in touch. I watched the new year ball drop, the Super Bowl, buried my old man, had my first easter all clean!
See you clowns at 200,300,400...

60?! I always say and mean it, 10 wouldn't have come. Aside from a forced quit at Army basic, I've never made it past 10-12. I think I said 30 before, that was a stretch. Before ktc we kept emergency cans, and "only when I wake up" cans...

On the night of September 11th (15 hours ahead) I was in a bar in Korea shooting pool with a buddy and his girlfriend. The television was in Korean and the bottom line was Korean. The conversation between us was typical. "That sucks." "That whole building is on fire." "That is the World Trade Center dude." I am not sure how live it was, but we saw the second plane hit the tower and goosebumps ran up my back. No less that 5 minutes later the infamous recall siren sounded. An MP and a Korean national police officer said "The state's are under attack, get your asses back." We sprinted to the gate, which already had armor and firepower fitted. We make our way in and are sprinting again..the sirens still blasting, I think to myself "holy shit they attacked us..."
For 62 days we sat on guard duty in shifts, arrested 4 Turks and 3 Saudis who were assholes. Just north of us they shot the hell out of an Pakistani guy. For what? Why react to getting caught with our backs turned? Why bomb a country that doesn't play by the rules? The same reason we don't speak German or Japanese now. The same reason we are not under Spanish rule. The Same reason we dumped tea to avoid illegal taxes. This was the correct way to react.
Aside from a short stint of driving truck for about 4 months, I've had a flag on my uniform shirt since that day. I assume I always will. I have to serve. I serve out of want, need, duty, and covering down because the fact is some won't or can't serve.
I have not watched a 9/11 special since about 2005 or so. I get so mad/upset that it wrecks my week. "Never forget" is a lame slogan. I can't forget. I watched the folks jumping from hell to hell. I saw the buildings fall with thousands of people in it. I saw the bodies and the fires. I saw the names. "Never stand for anything that jeopardizes the patriotism of the country ever again" is a good slogan. Kiss your wife (husband or some loved one) each day, hug and cherish your kids, and remember the pit you felt in your stomach when you saw that plane explode in an office building with thousands of workers inside...get that out in your stomach, hang a flag on your house, shake a firefighter's hand, wave at a police officer, and be proud to be an American.

On the night of September 11th (15 hours ahead) I was in a bar in Korea shooting pool with a buddy and his girlfriend. The television was in Korean and the bottom line was Korean. The conversation between us was typical. "That sucks." "That whole building is on fire." "That is the World Trade Center dude." I am not sure how live it was, but we saw the second plane hit the tower and goosebumps ran up my back. No less that 5 minutes later the infamous recall siren sounded. An MP and a Korean national police officer said "The state's are under attack, get your asses back." We sprinted to the gate, which already had armor and firepower fitted. We make our way in and are sprinting again..the sirens still blasting, I think to myself "holy shit they attacked us..."
For 62 days we sat on guard duty in shifts, arrested 4 Turks and 3 Saudis who were assholes. Just north of us they shot the hell out of an Pakistani guy. For what? Why react to getting caught with our backs turned? Why bomb a country that doesn't play by the rules? The same reason we don't speak German or Japanese now. The same reason we are not under Spanish rule. The Same reason we dumped tea to avoid illegal taxes. This was the correct way to react.
Aside from a short stint of driving truck for about 4 months, I've had a flag on my uniform shirt since that day. I assume I always will. I have to serve. I serve out of want, need, duty, and covering down because the fact is some won't or can't serve.
I have not watched a 9/11 special since about 2005 or so. I get so mad/upset that it wrecks my week. "Never forget" is a lame slogan. I can't forget. I watched the folks jumping from hell to hell. I saw the buildings fall with thousands of people in it. I saw the bodies and the fires. I saw the names.

This is incredibly well done Drew. Thank you for your service, and the ultimate honor of putting on your stripes everyday. Most will never feel the pride that comes along with the simple donning of the uniform, but you have prepared yourself to defend this country against all enemies at any cost.
Thank you and your brothers in arms for all the work that you do, and most importantly, God Bless the United States of America. 'usflag'

I'm damn proud to be an American! I am proud of our military, police, firefighters and all public services. I would love to stomp a mudhole in the next persons ass that burns a flag or bible! Put there ass on a plane , ship ,bus whatever and send there ass to whatever country it is that they think is so much better than the USA! And for all the sorry ass people that spit on the vets that came back from Nam shame on your asses, they were doing what they had to do! If it were not for the armed services you wouldn't be allowed to even be reading this! Also for all you stupid son of a bitches going after cops ,you need to be hung in court square. Thanks police officers for what you do for such shitty pay! God have mercy on the USA because it damn sure ain't what it use to be!

I have to say it one more time before this night is over. You have been a huge part of my quit and will always be. You are a great force here and I have always looked up to you (since you are like 6 4 or something, not hard for me, but yeah) thanks for being my quit buddy and I am so very thankful you are in my corner and supporting me no matter what. Sorry I let you get the measles and die, but , that's the life, at least we got to spoon first.

Pushing a year. Many people read the intros and nowhere else so I'll update what I've been up to.
I'm quit, 353 days and strong.
I stepped on a scale the day before thanksgiving and hit 281. That was too much so I started back on cardio schedule. I'm down to around 270, but haven't weighed in about a week, it may be less. I went from barely being able to run a mile, to running two miles, and then taking several minutes off my 2 mile time. I went last night and got bombarded by rain, and managed a 1.5 in 15:25. I still have a 250 pound/ my old uniform pants goal. It will come easy. This quit didn't, but I'm glad to go through it ..

Why did I quit? Why do any of us? We were paying money to put foul smelling poison into our bodies that society and loved ones hated. Easy choice....until you are driving to the Gas station at 2am or digging a spit out dip out of the trash...you are either a liar or hadn't dipped as long or tried to quit as many times as me of you haven't done that..
I'm well past the "fog" of quitting. I still remember it like it was today. The best part of this quit for me was day 1-10. I will never forget. I've seen alcoholics and other addicts kick an addiction, but never successfully done it myself. My cousin's recovering heroin-addict wife said "you quit dipping cold turkey...are you retarded?" I guess I am.
I already made a HOF speech. This is a little note for my one year, as that was my goal in this place and in my quit. I'm not running for office or looking for anything. I'm just here to thank everybody on this site for the help. We are all rough and tough and confident, right? Reading the forums on a cold rainy night saved me dozens of times. Live chat..if I helped get you quit, good..the truth is the regulars in there helped keep me quit.
Assholes that bust my chops around here..good. A vet told me early on that a divided mind is a safe mind. I don't log on to weiner-measure and pick a fight, but if one is needed I'll jump in.
A year ago I decided to change a 17ish year stint in my life. All year I had firsts without this stuff, and love it. This site and its members got me here, as my willpower was tainted with nicotine juice. Thank you all. I will never again use this stuff, and look forward to another lap with you fools.

Assholes that bust my chops around here..good. A vet told me early on that a divided mind is a safe mind. I don't log on to weiner-measure and pick a fight, but if one is needed I'll jump in.
A year ago I decided to change a 17ish year stint in my life. All year I had firsts without this stuff, and love it. This site and its members got me here, as my willpower was tainted with nicotine juice. Thank you all. I will never again use this stuff, and look forward to another lap with you fools.
Congrats on the big 1 year milestone. For me, there was none greater than going through a full year of firsts sans the ball and chains of addiction. Sure, that addiction is still there, but there is certainly no ball and chain. I'll tell you this...it gets even better and being quit, being free...never gets old. Now it's time to set your sites on bigger goals. I'm not sure what that will be for you, but I'm sure it's bigger than 1 year. Congrats again brother.

Ok, I'll freely put this on my intro, as noobs read these as well as seasoned guys. "Freely" because most of the big Whigs and I likely don't see eye to eye I suppose. This is what I need to say.
I bailed on this site and its members, for the most part, a few months ago. I felt I didn't need it, and felt in the way. I came back 3-4 days ago. I am not missing roll and here for real. My step away was not what I needed, but what I wanted. I didn't cave and start with a 1, that will never happen, but I felt tested more away from here. If for no other reason, no convos with similar people.
If I let anybody down, I apologize. I'm not here to blow smoke or offend. this place works if we let it. I have pushed three people to ktc in my absence. 2 of which are still on here, and they do not know I'm a member, so I'll watch from afar. Quit on, each day bitches

I'm glad that you are back. Even if we don't do anything else I think posting roll is vital to staying quit.
I quit with you today!

I'm glad you're back, but you my friend get your ass back in the groove of helping. You was helping alot more of us than you know. Sometimes seeing that one name on support helps me along for another day. Sometimes people say little things that they never knew kept that person here instead of them drifting away. I understand why you left, I do believe. We don't know everything that's going on in someone's life , we all have different reasons. I've learned that person that just cut you off, stop cussing them , they may have just found out they had cancer. Before we judge let's know as many facts as possible. I'll quit with you EDD, you helped me more than you know.

'na na' starting day 2. Day 1 was a bad one. I worked 4pm to midnight by 7pm I had already "unloaded" on 2 bosses. Not good, but I have a super short temper now. I still am quit for days two looking for wisdom. I am 55, have dipped for 43 solid yers everywhere. Swallowed the juice any time necessary. Red seal fine cut wintergreen was my dug of choice. I have been reading alot on here am expecting the worse. Also the bad thing I find is I live alone so it would be easy to cheat, BUT NOT GONNA HAPEN. I promise I am quit today. 'na na'
