Hi Folks.
OK. I'm in. Been dipping a can a day of either Skoal or Cope for over 30 years. 2 years ago I had over 7K in dental work done. Mostly damage from neglect and tobacco but still lost half the damn teeth in my head. But I still didn't quit!'bang head'
I'm 44 now and tired of it. Time to take my life back. Between snuff and beer, that I'm dumping at the same time. I've got some rough days/weeks/months ahead but its time.
Lets roll!

Lets roll!
Head on over to May 2012 and post roll, promising to not use any form of nicotine today.
If you need help posting roll, check out the WELCOME CENTER link above.
As I said in my PM, you can do this and your life is worth it!

Congrats on making the decision to be here.
Head on over to May and post roll.
I like what I am hearing - the dumping of the can and beer - as much as I love a good dark beer, you obviously have figured out that the beer is not your quit buddy. Make sure you find a good quit buddy or two over in May - get numbers for calling or texting when those craves kick in to high gear.
-
Congrats, Swamp!!! Great choice. Yes, it will suck. But embrace the suck. That is the feeling of recovery. Getting through the suck is the fight to save your own life...it is a matter of life and death.
But the suck is kinda cool if you really think about it. Nobody gets though it for the asking. Nobody can do it for you. There is no cheating, no short-cuts. It doesn't matter who your daddy knows. Pills and patches don't help. You simply must earn it...one day at a time.
The good news is that everyone on this site is here to help you. That is a shit-load of people who are fighting this fight and earning their freedom one day at a time.
Welcome to the fight, brother!!!
-
Thanks for the welcome folks. Man, there is a LOT of info on this site! I'm still reading and absorbing. But day 1 is about over and tomorrow will be number 2!
-
Keep reading, hop in the live chat room when the suck gets bad, take the time to read some Hall Of Fame Speeches...it all helps get you through the suck.

Pretty foggy this morning. More than usual my wife would say :unsure: But doing OK other than that. Yesterday was pretty rough. But I had to fast for a lab test yesterday afternoon on top of it being day one... Not fun.
But, I'll make it! Each day will get better

After three days of quit the nicotine will physically be out of your body. One more day to go, brother. If you need someone to talk to send me a PM immediately.
You can do this!

Thanks Keddy. I got it. but I appreciate the offer!
-
Remember, the stakes couldn't be higher. It is your life. Read the Kern Family story. Think of the pain that that family has been through because one guy couldn't stop putting shit in his face.
-
Understood Bean, and I have read the Kearn story... I'm really doing ok. Been craving just a little but not bad. Little foggy but that seems to come and go. Got a good nights sleep last night. I am using the fake snuff, heavily. and that seems to help a bunch.
-
Oh man, Had to go to the field for a couple of hours to inspect a project and the suck hit me big time. Not sure what it was. The heat or being around other dippers. or what but I feel like shit right now. But still don't want a dip. Just want to stop feeling like shit! I'll make it....

It will get better. Just hang in there.
Get some pure cranberry juice, not the sugary stuff. about $8-$10 a bottle and tastes like crap but it is worth it. (helps with the detox). Then LOTS of water.

I concur drink a ton of water, it really helps. Also if you are inclined to exercise, go bust your butt in the gym, it will do wonders, and then drink more water.
-
Thanks guys. Got home without anymore drama. Sitting here with a tall glass of water. Another hour and a half till bedtime then day 2 is done. Get up tomorrow and do it again! I'll start with the exersizing once I start feeling halfway human again.

The exercise will help you feel human again much faster.

Good point Radz. Ya'll haven't steered me wrong yet. I'll get some walking in tomorrow at work.
-
Swampdrummer, I'm in with you bud.. I feel exactly where you're coming from when you say its tough being around dippers and being outside..
Each day will get easier..!! We got this..!!
-
Got it by the nads DJR!
Weird night last night. Went to bed around 9 and fell asleep fine. Woke up thinking my alarm had gone off starting at 1 am and every hour after that till 4 am when I usually get up. What was really strange is I sat up each and every hour and my first thought was, "I've got to post roll!" Not, wheres my can of copenhagen. Pretty amazing for only 3 days in I think.

You, sir, are badass! 'clap'
Sleep will return to normal pretty soon. If you are a coffee drinker, cut back a bit- being quit enhances the effect of caffeine.
-
Hahaha, that is straight up AWESOME.. I was stoked to post roll this morning knowing I'm gona be nic free for the day.. When tomorrow comes, we'll face it together!!
-
Yeah, The weekends gonna be interesting. But I live 20 miles from the closest store and I sure as hell ain't buying anything on the way home. Just going to try and stay busy but I'm there. day at a time.....
-
Perfect.. From what I understand, exercising when the cravings hit is the way to go.. Stay strong bro!
-
Just found a wicked trigger that I'd not thought about. Who would have guessed the Nic Bitch would stand outside the grocery store??? Had to stop for a few groceries on the way home and after I checked out I went out the doors and reached in my front shirt pocket, like I've done for the last 30 YEARS, and all that was there was a can of Hooch. Serious crave that is just now leaving and that was 2 hours ago. Always keep your guard up folks.
-
Nice work swampie. Fight that bitch. Make her your puppet. Own her. You are no longer the slave in the relationship.
Bust out the ball gag 'cause swampie coming to dinner.
-
Tell that NIC bitch to fuck off and mess with someone else.. Time to get sane and get clean my man..
I'm watching a movie with a few of my team mates and they have a dip in, it is the hardest fucking thing I have ever done.. But I aint buckling to the craving..!! We got this bro!!
-
Well done. You own the bitch, she doesn't own you anymore. Remember that.
Regarding the sleep, my first 30 days was pretty bad and then it just clicked and everything was back to normal. It gets better. So much better I can't even put it into words.
Shout if you need anything.
-
Good quitting Swampdrummer. One day at a time. Be prepared for the weekend. Get some seeds, gum, fireballs, toothpics, whatever it takes! Stay close to the site when the cravings hit. It's really quite simple, post and honor.
-
Thanks for the words of support folks. Doing good this morning other than the strange sleeping patterns. Been a long time since I've watched the sun come up on a Saturday morning without either a dip in my mouth or a hangover. But it felt damn good
Kind of off topic and I haven't read the history here but It hit me last night that this place is kind of like basic training with the military. You throw a bunch of strangers together and make them accountable to each other and to the group. In the end you come out with a group of folks that have fought,side by side in the battle against nicotine. A battle that couldn't be fought and won alone but with the strength and cohesiveness of your quit group the battle is won. But the war never ends..
OK, maybe I am still a little foggy here!LOL

How's everything going swamp..?? You seem to be going along well. 6 days in now, so you must be feeling awesome, no alcohol or nic in your system..!! Any way bro, just checkin in and give you a holler..
Keep on keeping on my man!!

You two get a room for gosh sakes...
You both are doing great. One day at a time. WE can do this. I'm certain. No doubts. We make our path. We own this day. Fight.

Doing great DJR!Thanks! And Souliman, Thanks for the great advice as always. I've been reading a bunch of your posts on here and you sir, have it going on.
Great 3 day weekend( I work 4 tens) Got a bunch of stuff done. Hunted 2 evenings and killed 2 big hogs on Sunday evening.
Do have a question for the vets around here.
Any real tricks to getting rid of the habit(s) other than time? I'm only 7 days in and the first 2 or 3 days were pretty rough but I'm using fake dip (hooch).While I am tobacco and Nicotine free. I'm still going through a can a day of the fake stuff. Sure as hell not saving any money there!
I've tried altoids and gum. Those just make me want to toss in a fake dip even more.
Don't want to endanger my quit trying to get rid of this fake stuff too soon but at the same time. I never figured it would be harder to break the habits than it would be to kick the nic.
Thanks
Brad

swampie if you are stuffing anything in your mouth besides cancer candy we're winning this fight. From my experience and a few others if I recall correctly, you just won't want to toss in a fakey some day. Or forget to. Your body isn't getting anything from it but the oral grat. My suggestion though would be to emphasize the stuff you used to do WITHOUT a dip in. That's the guy we want to pull forward, separate from the addict.
You are winning sir. One day at a time.

Give red hot fireballs a try, Swamp. They helped me for a while.
Your body is readjusting to the real you - something you haven't seen for a long time!!
Congratulations on the week of quit. That's a great milestone.
-
Thanks for the suggestions guys. Keddy. I'll hunt down some red hot fireballs today.
Souliman, Part of the problem with separating myself from this addiction by focusing on what I did without a dip in, is that fact that I did EVERYTHING with a dip in my mouth. Only exceptions were eating and sleeping.
So, its kind of like re-inventing myself as clean addict rather than a user and a boozer. Whole different animal. I'm very confident it will happen. Its just a new me that I've never met before. Or at least haven't seen in a very very long time.

Congrats bro. Hang in there! I just bought some Hooch (the herbal stuff) that's supposed to be the best shit out there. I'll let you know how it is.

Keep fighting bro.
There's a line in there that resonates with me.
"re-inventing myself"
I completely agree. Find that dude. He's the real swampie.
-
Parallel mission
Find that Dude. That's the real swampie.
Souliman. Once again.... Dead nuts on target.... This is bigger than just me kicking bad habits! This is a chance for me to be the me that I've always wanted to be!Shit! So Simple yet so complex! But its exciting as well!

Hahaha, just giving a man some support! Lol! But thank-you Souliman, I can't speak for swamp but I am sure starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel..
Swamp, I was exactly like you, everything I did, I did with a dip in. After meals, on the field, in class, studying, travelling.. Everything!! What I've done is I've limited how much fake I use in those certain areas. For example: if we had a 4 hour practice I would limit myself to 1 fake dip in that period.. And so on.. I've found its started to work and I am slowly kicking the oral fixation also.. I hope maybe this will help bro..
-
I'm on day 12 and I have to admit. This just plain sucks! I've been in a serious funk for the last 3 days. I was useless at work on Friday. Saturday we had an environmental meeting that was just a useless joke. Yesterday evening I grilled steaks and that was a major trigger. I used to start the charcoal and sit back with a big dip and a cold beer and wait. No more of either for me!
Was very grumpy all evening and went to bed early hoping this morning would be better. But its not. Still in a funk. Still craving.
Just want to go to bed and sleep until this passes......Did I say THIS SUCKS!
Sorry for the whine.
But I wanted to get this down in my intro for future reference
Brad
-
Hang in there swampie. You got through that shit without a lip turd in? You won. That's right. You just grabbed the nic bitch by the couchie and made her your puppet. I for one applaud you.
Keep fighting.
-
Hey, Brad, listen to Soul. Every time you defeat a crave, especially in a new circumstance, you get stronger. The next time around it won't be as bad. It's amazing what we can do without a lip full of dip.
Keep strong and carry on, brother. You can do this!!!
-
Thanks guys.
Weekend from hell and I wasn't expecting it. Have to remember to keep busy on the weekends! I actually slept all day yesterday. Got up, posted roll and got my sorry ass back in bed.
Feeling better today and lessons learned. Thanks for the support
Brad

:)

I hear ya syndrome. I ain't quitting, quitting.Hmmmm. I'm quit and gonna stay that way. Thats better!
I've come too far now to even think about quitting. I've got my quit group holding me accountable along with all my friends and family as well. I can't tell my mother that I'm quit and go back on that word!
This weekend wasn't even close to a cave. It was just pure fucking miserable.
-
1 stay quit day by day.
I never understand him when he talks like this....
-
Stumbled to the computer this morning to post roll. Half asleep, the quote edit cut and paste takes some thinking!
As I typed in my promise for today and put day 17. I stopped. 17 friggen days! I can remember back at day 2 and 3 seeing people with 10 or 11 days and so wanting to be there instead of where I was. Now I AM there, and beyond. and it feels damn good!
One day at a time. I'm quit. One day at a time.......

Keep with the program, Swamp. The numbers add up fast but all of us have done this one day at a time.
By the way, it's not really the number that matters; what matters is whether you are quit today. Today is the only day we have control over (at least when it comes to quitting).
Keep strong over the weekend. The nicBitch lurks around every corner.
-
Understood Keddy. It just seemed like a monumental number just a few days ago, and there it was. Don't know why 17 hit me any more than 16 or 18 but it did.
I've got the weekend covered. I live way back in the woods, 20 miles from the nearest store. I'm locking the gate when I get home tonight and not coming out till Tuesday at 5 am. Ezy Pzy
-
I dig me some swampie compound quit. I picture swampie peering through the shades with a shotgun in his hand waiting for the nic bitch.
SHOOT SWAMPIE! SHOOT!
-
LOL! Thanks for the laugh Souliman... You ain't to far off the truth!
Got us a South Florida cold front coming through today. Going down to 36 tonight and for us, THATS COLD!
-
Putting this here so I can look back on it.
I sent this out to almost everybody on my email contact list. Friends, family, even my boss. Just to keep me accountable.
I had a planned start date of the 27th but after exchanging a couple of PM's with Keddy. I dumped my shit out on the 25th. 3 weeks ago tomorrow.
Subject line "I'm a quitter"
Hello Family and Friends.
This is just a quick note to inform all of you that as of January 27th I will be a quitter. I am giving up both tobacco and alcohol this Friday at Midnight. Never to be touched again.
IÂ’m doing this for a variety of reasons. Health, money and just tired of being tied down to these bad habits. Life is too short as it is and IÂ’m tired of wasting it with these things.
This isn’t a “Hey look at me and what I’m doing” email. It is an email to everybody that I know and love that will serve to hold ME accountable to YOU. I can only quit for myself but if I tell everybody I know I will be held accountable to every single one of you.
So, if you could. Please keep me in your thoughts and or prayers in the next few weeks. I know this isnÂ’t going to be easy but I can and WILL do it. If you get growling and snappy emails from me, youÂ’ll know why, and I apologize in advance.
Much love to all.
Brad

Day 33
Just random thoughts that I wanted to keep.
This is really starting to feel like something to feel proud of! I'm quit and don't want to be any other way.
I'm still dealing with the blahs at least one day every weekend but its getting easier each week. I'm sure part of that is that I used to drink, and drink heavily on the weekends. Thats gone now too. Forever. I'm finding myself awake and sober and I think my mind just isn't sure what to do with this yet.
The nic bitch is still around. Had a sick thought pop into my head the other day. I could quit this quit today and everybody on my list that got the email below would forgive me and life would go on. Everybody except me. And this quit is about and for ME. I'm not going to fail me!
So, The re-invention of Swampdrummer continues. No telling how he is going to turn out. But I bet its gonna be a pretty decent fellow 'no'

That's great stuff Swampie. You should be proud bro. This certainly ain't easy. Takes determination to change yourself daily and stick to it.
Glad you're here.

Swampie, this update is awesome and that e-mail to your friends and family is even better..!!
Good for you man, I'm sure they're just as proud as you are.. Stay strong and stay quit!!
Oh by the way, in the morning when I'm waking up and posting roll, I forget what day I'm on.. I say to myself "just check Swampie, and you're a day behind him".. Hahah, so don't fuck me over and post after me!! hahahah
-
LOL, Thanks DJR. I'm not so sure I'd follow my days as an accurate count. I usually have to go check the spreadsheet these days! And sometimes I still screw it up at O'dark thirty when I'm trying to post roll.
You may take the lead this weekend as far as posting roll goes. I'm going to be in the middle of the Ocala National Forest for a 3 day state championship archery competition. I should have internet access but if not, I've got digits.

Well, yet another activity in the books as do-able without a dip in the lip or a beer in hand.
Spent the last 3 days at Florida State Championship traditional archery shoot and stayed clean all the way thru! :D
Avoided temptations such as offered beers and dip and as soon as I explained I was quit, I experienced nothing but positive support.
I even shot better this year than last. Still no threat to the title but maybe next year. 'no'

Do you go bow-hunting too? If so, what kind of bow do you shoot? Nice job on the commitment by the way.

Thanks guys,
Tsmith. Yes, I bowhunt. Almost year round Deer from August till January. Turkey right now and Hogs the rest of the year.
I Shoot a Kanati longbow. No wheels or sights. Definately limits me as far as range goes as a 20 yard shot would be a loooong shot with a traditional bow but thats the fun in it!

A hog hunt sounds really fun. We only get turkeys and deer up here in Iowa.
