I am on day number 18 on what will on my quit. I have stopped before and now know the difference between quiting and stopping! I live in Ohio and work in the Industrial Hinge business, I also am a Football, Wrestling, Baseball, and Softball Coach. I also have started another challenge in the public service arena not exactly sure how that one will end up but should be a fun journey. I have 4 kids and a wonderful wife who deserve to have thier dad around for awhile!
I stated earlier that I know the difference between quiting and stopping, I read a good topic on the site where someone talked about the difference and wouldnt you know it, that was me! I know this is going to be the Quit for me by pure determination and also never had a support area where everyone was similiar to me!

This site is great for many reasons, you articulated a few of them. We are all very similar in our addiction though we come from very different places and backgrounds. I'm 51, a can/day cope user since 13.
At day 15 I'm over the fog, but now battle the sneaky voice in my head that says I'm now on top of it and can handle 1 dip. Goes to your point of the difference between stopping and quit.
I'm quit, and glad to quit with you.
Shout if you need to bend an ear or be talked off the ledge....

Will do!
Our situations seem to be quite similiar, which is why I think this site is such a great idea! I have 4 kids 2-boys and 2-girls and an awesome wife and strangly I am not quiting for them I am doing it for myself, not that I am a selfish person but I dont want to have any out! If I fail its cause I wasnt strong enough not because I stressed out over quitting for my family. They understand and have been quite supportive.
At day 18 I am still having some sleeping issues and for the first time today I really felt like picking a fight with somebody anybody, I was able to get some time away and lose myself reading some articles and other peoples stories on this site and simmered down quick enough.
If you need to vent or just talk, you got it!

Welcome Griz,
Sounds like you already invested some time into researching how this place works. And you're still here! sweet!
Review everything in the welcome center tab (above), then head to the may2012 group and post roll.
Give us your word that you will not dip today, then keep your word. Take dipping for the rest of today OFF THE TABLE.
I'll look for you in the may2012 forum!

I figure I can rant vent or at least update here....
My quit has been going well not having any real crave issues but many different types of rage issues. I am starting to notice some things I thought dip made better only either hid the the truth and never really had the calming effect or alot of people around me are superficial and fake.
I have been keeping myself incredibly busy and that has been good but doesnt really take away the rage or even stave it off, the only way i have had to really lose my rages was to write on this site or develop a true fuck it attitude.
There has only been a few times where i waited for my family to exit the Expedition and go park just sitting there screaming FUCK!!!!!!! That has been quite a good release not the best if I were around alot of people but hey it has worked for me.
I have been to the dentist 3 times since I started my quit and I am really starting to like my teeth all clean and the shit and crud is all out and gone. I didnt go to the dentist for approx. 8 years mainly cause I didnt want them to tell me I had cacer or that I was going to lose my teeth, also didnt have the insurance. Those may sound like some lame excuses but they are what they are, now I have not had to get another biopsy and they fixed my gums all up I have a smile that I havent seen in quite a few years.
This is an update mainly for myself, doing this actually reminds me to stay with it and never look back. It is funny how this time I am truly quit and not just telling myself to stop, not giving myself any way out, not blaming my wife or my kids for any frustration giving me any reason to go back. I started this shit not them and its up to m to quit.

Has it just been rage in general for no reason or are there things/people that are setting you off super easily? Do you work out at all?
How was it going to the dentist being able to say that you quit chewing?
I figured I would wait a few weeks to schedule that appointment...everything I read on here said make sure to go in around day 30 or something?
Keep it up Grizz, you are right where I want to be in a few weeks!
thanks man.

Mainly people I have been around for many years that I thought I tolerated with chew, well they really werent worth the effort but I can and will be social for the betterment of my family B)
Going to the dentist after the first visit and saying I was 1 week quit was great the hot oral hygenist really liked how i quit right away didnt think about it and followed thru with it!
I try to work out all the time between coaching my kids it football and softball and baseball but the majority of my workouts happen coaching wrestling.
Its great to be quit with you guys and I did get some advise from Zam he said realy dive into this quit and I have and it has been rewarding in its own way.
Thanks

A little after weekend update:
The weekends continue to be the toughest but I can say I feel as though I crossed a big hurdle on Friday night, against even my better judgement and some of my brother in quit on this site I actually had a few beers on Friday. I never even came close to caving! I really am happy I was able to accomplish that feat. I am not going to continue to try to test that feat mainly cause well whats the point? I am quit and fully intend to stay that way, it might also be tougher if I were actually more of a drinker which I am not. The good thing was I was able to have a few beers with my nephew and not get all loaded up but pleasently buzzed without having any nicotene!!! Not something I will be doing on any type of regular basis.
The rest of the weekend was uncharted territory for me as well I spent most of the day Saturday and Sunday at car dealerships which for those who have ever done that know those guys for some reason can just be a trigger no matter what happens! I was able to deal with the dealerships without raging or even wanting to dip! For myself thats huge again, I will stay stong with my quit and will soon be enjoying the money saved from not dipping in the near future.

I think sometimes I post on here to just relax the nerves and express myself.... the craves are only bad at night right now and its not like sitting awake dreaming of grizzly its more of a I just want something before I turn in for the night I have been good with gum and Altoids but for some reason the last couple nights that didnt work!
I wasnt all edgy woried I would cave it was more like restlessness that I couldnt tame, like excited i sometimes wonder thru this if I am getting A.D.D. I finally just made myself a few sandwiches and that always seems to do the trick.
Still determined to not cave or ever go back to the nic bitch just needing to fill a mysterious void.......

Well I spent an hour reading thru swj's page and that guy is hilarious!!!
I read some of his page before but never really dove in for that long there was some true genious there, I will continue to read even more when I need a laugh to get me past a rough spot or curb a cave from taking shape.
I have noticed in the last week that staying active on this site is more important than i originally ever thought. Seeing how 2 HOF members caved this past week made me realize we can never really leave this site completely.....
We are all Addicts and need this kind of accountability to stay quit.
I have learned a ton about my quit and myself in these first 41 days, I will continue to stay strong and post my quit every morning if only to have the reminder that NO I can't do this on my own....
I hope all my May quit brothers have remained strong over this awesome St. Patty's weekend and I really dont want to read any more HOF members caving!!

41! That's awesome bro...proud to be quit with ya.
You are right. We really need to remember that every day is as dangerous as day 1...in fact, every day might as well be day 1, HOF quitter or not.
Keep it up Grizzly, thanks for the texts every day.

Captains log....Day 44.....
Somedays I think my quit has turned me into a rat with some slight does of A.D.D. .......
I have many times a day where I leave my office only to make a very quick walk thru my shop and come right back and sit at my office not even remembering why I got up in the first place..... 'Crazy'
I have also noticed how I now just blurp out whatever is on my mind..... sometimes its ok and well sometimes not......
Take for instance earlier today, we had a female sales rep come into the office and well she has always been easy on the eyes as well as one of those cool chicks that can talk buisness and trucks without getting all prissy!
anyway....
She comes walking in and wouldnt you know it she is 4 months pregnant!!!! The first words out of my mouth were......"Its not mine!!!!" :wacko:
Now that might not seem like it was in to bad of company but the President of my company was also walking in with her! That made for one slighlty awkward funny embarassing situation.
This seems to be happening more and more and I notice between my running around my office shop and house with what on somedays seems like an enormous amount of energy, I have had more instances where I for no reason just blurp out stuff that should be kept to my inner monolouge.....
I have had these types of issues in past stopages but it is never this late into the process usually its the first week where I am fighting the urges and well just flat pissed at everyone I would come into contact with.
I was wondering if anyone else has had these types of issues, either the Partial A.D.D. or just the lack of inner monolouge 'Crazy'

I know what you're talking about. I thought the joke was funny. For me it is little annoyances. I think my son just wants to talk to me. I don't mind talking. However, he opens the fridge pulls out a potato in tin-foil. He says, what is this, its warm. I look at him and say, "its a hot dog son" He say's, "why are you so mad" I said, "I'm not mad, its just that I don't know why you ask questions that you already know the answer to."
He walks off and I wonder, why did I say that, act that way? In my head still...I don't know why he would hold up a baked potato and ask me what it was?
Oh and I hate the weather men. Why is local news so focused on the weather. If it is news worthy, talk about the weather. If it isn't...go to sports. (I have actually conversation with my T.V. I yell at the weather men. My wife thinks it is hilarious.)

Day 49....
I have had a thought this morning and well I wanted to put it down so I can come back and read it when things start taking a turn for the worse.....
I have stayed quit for 49 days and crossed these hurdles without caving....
-went to work everyday at a job I really dont like
-watched and coached my youngest sons wrestling matches
-watched my oldest sons basketball games and tournaments where the games were stacked against them and not to mention the parents officials were awful
-went on 2 long trips
-drank some beer got buzzed and almost to the point of drunkenness
-had meetings with my boss who is impossible on the best days
-had meetings in my newly appointed public arena job
-had arguments and discussions with my in-laws
-had arguments with my wife
-had disagreements with my oldest daughter
-had ridiculous road rage incidents that did not include me in the rage
These are just a few of ther hurddles I feel very proud of crossing, some of these are very minor and truthfully almost all of them are.
The best thing for me and my quit is to stay near this site and read, rage, or post!
I find lots of good calming energy from being at on or near this site mainly cause if I am thinking it or if I am pissed about it there is always someone who also has had the same issue or dealt with the same issue and for me that takes my rage from a 10 down to a 2 and makes me a much more level person!
I doubt if these words will help anyone except for me but if they do just realize guys you are here for a reason, the reasons dont always show themselves right away but stay strong and stay active and good things will follow.
Some words that help me thru the day:
Nothing easy is ever worth having!
Stay the course and continue to move forward!
Be diligent and commited never have your word in doubt!

You should celebrate. We are supposed to be celebrating milestones, even little ones. I haven't because of the "busyness" of life but wow, 50 days is big and you deserve to reward yourself somehow.
Anyone celebrating milestones yet? If so, how? Looking for suggestions.

Day 49....
I have had a thought this morning and well I wanted to put it down so I can come back and read it when things start taking a turn for the worse.....
I have stayed quit for 49 days and crossed these hurdles without caving....
-went to work everyday at a job I really dont like
-watched and coached my youngest sons wrestling matches
-watched my oldest sons basketball games and tournaments where the games were stacked against them and not to mention the parents officials were awful
-went on 2 long trips
-drank some beer got buzzed and almost to the point of drunkenness
-had meetings with my boss who is impossible on the best days
-had meetings in my newly appointed public arena job
-had arguments and discussions with my in-laws
-had arguments with my wife
-had disagreements with my oldest daughter
-had ridiculous road rage incidents that did not include me in the rage
These are just a few of ther hurddles I feel very proud of crossing, some of these are very minor and truthfully almost all of them are.
The best thing for me and my quit is to stay near this site and read, rage, or post!
I find lots of good calming energy from being at on or near this site mainly cause if I am thinking it or if I am pissed about it there is always someone who also has had the same issue or dealt with the same issue and for me that takes my rage from a 10 down to a 2 and makes me a much more level person!
I doubt if these words will help anyone except for me but if they do just realize guys you are here for a reason, the reasons dont always show themselves right away but stay strong and stay active and good things will follow.
Some words that help me thru the day:
Nothing easy is ever worth having!
Stay the course and continue to move forward!
Be diligent and commited never have your word in doubt!
Good post Grizz25. Count life's little triumps.
I quit with you today. We are all here for the same reasons.
Very good post and yes, it helped me. Congrats on 50 - good quitting and I quit with you today sir.

Grizz, sorry to hear that.
It may suck to close a chapter...maybe it needs to close because the next chapter is going to be awesome. There has to be a positive there. If only hope for a new beginning?

Day 59.....
Well the quit is moving along well and the changes that are taking place in my life are going well also. I will say I had a bad weekend but this weekend comming up is looking much better.
I think the feelings of crave are gone and the thought of even taking a dip just offend and pisses me off, now I am starting to do more things like go fishing, mow the grass and coaching the kids baseball and softball teams without the use of nicotene!
I think its great that even the kids I coach have noticed the difference in me and they keep asking where the can is and why arent you spitting anymore coach!
None of those questions are good but at the same time if my humility keeps them from ever starting that crap then ..... thats a victory!
I would hate to see if all of the young people I have influenced all started chewing..... that would not be a pleasant picture.....
I would rather I be a role model to the young minds showing them you dont need chew to be cool than to be some idiot ninja dipper hiding that crap from the boys and the parents!
Anyway stay quit, stay focused, stay strong!!

Good to hear you're looking up, dude. How is your brother doing?
I agree with MThomas, sounds like the changes your bro is going through are going to ultimately be for the better, even though he may not realize it now.

Day 66....
Many things going well and some things not so well.....
I am a positive person so I will build on the positive!!!!
I posted a couple weeks ago a list of things I have overcame while on this quit ride, well that list is only getting longer B)
Here are a few hurdles I have crossed recently:
-A holiday with my parents and family B)
-A holiday with my in-laws 'zombie'
These may only seem small to some but they are huge hurdles for me!
I have recently had some actual conversations with some quit brothers and the conversations went extremely well, I am a fan of talking and getting to know people that way as opposed to just texting or messaging.
I know for me the act of talking re-enforces my quit and gives personality to the brothers I quit with, anyway I will continue to stay quit and use this site for all its worth.
I have stopped before and this is actual QUIT, I must say it feels very very good!!!

Each hurdle or win adds to our confidence level of our quit. No, weÂ’re not getting cocky but there is a swagger every champion has and the loser knows what that looks like!

Good work - I swear it doesn't matter what day you are on or what hurdle you overcome - every day quit is a celebration and every hurdle is an investment into your quit. And, great job keeping that poison away from your kids and the kids you coach. Recognizing and admitting that you were actually influencing those kids in a bad way is a tough thing to do. Now that you truly see it for what it is you have strengthened your quit.
Great job quitting and always good to quit with a Big 10 man.

Nice work brother. Keep fighting. Eventually this fight will define your badassness.

Day 71.....
Quit going well, I have gotten past numerous triggers that I have always had chew and nicotene help me get thru without going completely off the deep end!
Tomorrow is no different it will be the first somewhat long trip I have taken without chew.......
To say I am nervous would be an understatement!
I am worried I will want to cave durring the 7 hour drive, or the fact that one of the guys going will be chewing the whole way and well he is not a true fan of quiting!!!!!
I feel great about how far I have come and there is really no way I want to go back to being a slave to the can.
I will text or post on my groups page that I will be quit but unfortunately will not be able to post from where we are going to be.
I believe this will be my toughest test to date of my quit and I firmly believe that my resolve and determination will win this upcomming battle......
This probably sounds funny to some but hey this is my thoughts and well they are what they are.

Grizz, you have helped me so much, now it's my turn. You don't need my help because you already got this. You are going to post roll and enjoy your trip.
I think you're worried about the test. I don't blame you but from my vantage point and as my mentor...I think it is going to be fun to be free. You are ready for this test. You might go through some triggers, after all we're addicts. You won't be going through withdrawals!
No buzz is worth giving up your freedom. No buzz is worth poisoning your mind and body. Your friend doesn't realize that yet...you do. No disrespect to your friend but 100% disrespect for his habit.
Pm the shit out of me. Keep your phone with you. If you need me, I'm happy to be by my phone and ride along with you. He can have his spit bottle, you can have your phone.
You are going to have a great time!

I copy what Mthomas said. I think you already have my number but I will PM it to you just in case. Right before you cave and throw in a fatty you need to call me and tell me to Fuck Off and that quitting is to hard and that you can't stay quit anymore. Chew is too important to you, satisfying that crave is more important than saving your life. I want to hear you say that you are a pussy and can't do it any more - it is too tough.
You are a great quitter and have been a great leader to a lot of us. I know that when I post I am usually going to get some sound advice and great encouragement from you. You have invested too much in your quit and too much into our quits to let one road trip cause a cave. Text, call, and know that we will be in that car with you and any thoughts of caving we will be there to give you the grand old blanket party - soap and socks.
Stay strong - it won't be easy but you can do it. You are a great quitter and can't wait for you return home chew free so we can shower you with praise. This will be a great investment in your quit. If you need someone to post roll for you text me your promise and I will post it up.
Proud to be quitting with you!!!

80 Days!!!!!
80 Days!!!!!
I still find it awfully awesome that I have been able to make it 80 days!!!!
I want to give a bit of an update seeing as how the last couple of posts were well rather depressing and well they sucked there was nothing good in them and strangley thats how I was feeling!
I have recently gotten back from a out of town trip where everyone I was with was drinking and partying thru the night and I managed to not even come close to a crave!
One of the guys who was with me is someone who I have hunted and fished with for the better part of 13 years, did I mention he chews Grizzly Wintergreen......
I had told him back in the early stages of my quit that I had finally figured a way to kick that nasty habit!!! He was of course very skeptical seeing as how he has seen me quit then fail so so so many times. I told him it was different this time blah blah blah......
Well he asked how the quiting business was going and I told him he was rather surprised and couldnt believe me, he is one of those true know-it-all types!
We went and had a great time over in Indy and went out to eat and bar hopping every night and never one time did I even come close to caving!!! He was very surprised to say the least!
At one point while we were going out and about I was using the Smokey Mountain and he was over there chewing Grizzly, he spit his chew out and took a hit from my can! lol
I think I may have made a believer out of him! I know for myself I know my quit definetly strengthened with that trip, mainly cause I was with many of my closest friends for 4 days and none of them have ever seen me without a dip for more than an hour! lol
I made believers out of them and myself, this does not mean I am going to get all cocky in my quit but it does mean I will remain confident.
Anyway just and update from a once truly nervous quiter who now knows he is not only winning the war but really just kicked some serious ass in a huge battle!!!!!

Well he asked how the quiting business was going and I told him he was rather surprised and couldnt believe me, he is one of those true know-it-all types!
We went and had a great time over in Indy and went out to eat and bar hopping every night and never one time did I even come close to caving!!! He was very surprised to say the least!
At one point while we were going out and about I was using the Smokey Mountain and he was over there chewing Grizzly, he spit his chew out and took a hit from my can! lol
I think I may have made a believer out of him! I know for myself I know my quit definetly strengthened with that trip, mainly cause I was with many of my closest friends for 4 days and none of them have ever seen me without a dip for more than an hour! lol
I made believers out of them and myself, this does not mean I am going to get all cocky in my quit but it does mean I will remain confident.
Anyway just and update from a once truly nervous quiter who now knows he is not only winning the war but really just kicked some serious ass in a huge battle!!!!!
Grizzly25 .......80 days........out!
Grizzly,
This is awesome stuff. You deserve to be cocky, proud, and arrogant, you are rocking your quit. Proud to be your BOMB brother, keep rocking and stay strong bro!!!
That is great shit - thanks for sharing. I remember your post before heading out and how nervous you were about the trip - great job kicking ass. That is a huge investment in your quit. Proud to be quit with ya - stay strong and keep leading the way. Congrats on 80 days!!!
Great job!
Well done my friend. Well done.
Great job Grizzly! Proud to be quit with you!

I still find it awfully awesome that I have been able to make it 80 days!!!!
I want to give a bit of an update seeing as how the last couple of posts were well rather depressing and well they sucked there was nothing good in them and strangley thats how I was feeling!
I have recently gotten back from a out of town trip where everyone I was with was drinking and partying thru the night and I managed to not even come close to a crave!

Great job Grizzly! Proud to be quit with you!
Just glad to be a part of a winning team. Grizzly, I'm feeling guilty. This is your moment but I felt I had a victory because you didn't cave? Sorry, I know it was all your work and battle but for some reason, I can't help but feel like I won too? Maybe if we share the pain of the addiction, we share in the victories and triumph?
Grizzly, everyone congratulates you and I want to add, Thank you. Thank you for keeping your word and promise! I had a strong trigger going off today. Not anymore, I prefer to win than cave. Feeling your success, yeah its mine too. When I succeed its your victory as well.

Pain shared is Pain Divided. When we post and share our wins, our battles, our tough moments, the grumpy days, the feeling sorry for ourselves, the triggers, the all day craves - when we share, we are dividing up the tough times with our quit brothers. We get through it all together. I know I have had some shitty ass days, but I read Mthomas crazy ass funny posts, and Grizz is always there with support and to lead the way. So many great quitters to share the pain and overcome the addiction. Proud to be quit with you fuckers. I share it all with you badass quitters.

90 days........
It is hard to believe that I have been quit for 90 days I can think back to when I started this and when I found this site and really still cannot believe I am sitting at 90 days, I havent even killed anyone or even acted on any of my rage......
I will say that without this site and the support it brings I would have surely failed by now, not that I dont have conviction or determination but I have never had the amount needed to tackle this nic bitch!
I have had some small victories as of late and I have also noticed that there is becomming a different Grizzly25 walking around his house and dealing with his kids and everyone else that crosses his path on a daily basis...
I really have also noticed I am becomming worried that the once tolerant man I used to be is going to be alot more difficult to find than I thought, but I will continue to say and know I am a re-work in progress and the steps I have taken are just the beginning and the best is yet to come!
Anyway I will say as I near the HOF I am proud to be quit with a truly badass group, I would have never made it this far without you and I look forward to continuing to kick nic's ass one day at a time....

Nicely done on the 90! Keep it going.
Nicotine dulled us down. It kept the really wild mood swings subdued, thus the calmer you. I have had to learn to deal with emotions my kids had long since figured out. I started dipping with I was 14 so I really never had much emotion.
You will figure it out as you go. The imoprtant thing is to stay quit. Nicotine as I am sure you have figured out by now does nothing but keep you addicted to Nicotine.
Congrats on the 90! Push ahead.. See you on the train.
STAY QUIT

Stay strong dude. I too was afraid that no more dip would mean I would be different. I am. Mostly better but I can understand your concern if you think your patience is lessening. It's just another phase of quit. You will find out who you are and that you will be better than a dipping you by definition. Stay strong.
Stay quit.

Day 105.....
I have been wondering what will be the next hurdle to cross in my life upgrade.....
Well it seems as though if you wait long enough and search hard enough the next hurdle always presents itself!
I have been making many strides to better myself durring my quit and in my honest opinion I have bettered my self imensely! I do sometimes wonder if the wrecking ball that was my nicotene life will ever get better or go away.......
I had a rather bad weekend and I believe I have possibly figured out why, I never came close to cave and there is a reason. Both of those things being said I think I have found the solution or at least the next direction to work towards. I have taken and drank as much of the Quit Like Fuck kool-aid I could drink and well it has solidified my quit and resolve to points I truly didnt think possible, I truly believe the ways and means of this site can help put back some of the pieces my nicotene life ruined!
I will say one of my new ways and perspectives has and will be Patience Like Fuck!!! I have a great and wonderful family that has lived with me tolerated me and put up with me thru the addiction, thru the stoppages, thru the relapses, and now finally thru the Quit!!!
I have to have the resolve to be and stay patient even though I may not get craves and ever want to return to the rat shit in lip mentality I never really worked on the fixing of me and my patience or lack there of that we all experience from time to time.
I am writing this mainly to keep track of my own progress as I will be taking the same stance with this as I have with my quit process. I feel as though I slammed my quit and kicked its ass in every way now my resolve will be spread to let those who love me enjoy the new better me.
QUIT LIKE FUCK!!!!
PATIENCE LIKE FUCK!!!!
Its a mentality and resolve that truly helps when needed most!

Grizz,
Some days I regret I ever chewed and had to come to the site. Today I don't regret it.
Why? Because I wouldn't have read what you wrote. I realized that it isn't bad to be an addict if you learn to control your addictions.
In fact reading about all of our individual triumphs and victories. We truly are ones that can get knocked down but get right back up and fight. Sure there isn't a cure to our addictions but we have proven that we don't give into it. We are fighters! We are Winners, We are understanding that our abilities and strength is unlimited!
Glad to be your brother in the gospel of quit and patience.

Let me tell you something you already know. The worlds arenÂ’t all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it...
You've gotta hit as hard as life. It isnÂ’t about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much can you take and keep moving forward? That's how winning is done.
If you know what you're worth, Go out and Get What Your Worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits. And not pointing fingers saying you arenÂ’t where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that arenÂ’t you. You're better than that.

I too need some major work on the patience and glad to read someone else out there has recognized it as a problem that needs to be worked on and not just the mentality of it will get better with time in my quit. Wrong, it's not going to magically get better in time, I need to work at it because the new me is used to patience through the can - now, I have to find new ways to manage my patience.
Great post and thanks again for having my back.

Day 105.....
I have been wondering what will be the next hurdle to cross in my life upgrade.....
Well it seems as though if you wait long enough and search hard enough the next hurdle always presents itself!
I have been making many strides to better myself durring my quit and in my honest opinion I have bettered my self imensely! I do sometimes wonder if the wrecking ball that was my nicotene life will ever get better or go away.......
I had a rather bad weekend and I believe I have possibly figured out why, I never came close to cave and there is a reason. Both of those things being said I think I have found the solution or at least the next direction to work towards. I have taken and drank as much of the Quit Like Fuck kool-aid I could drink and well it has solidified my quit and resolve to points I truly didnt think possible, I truly believe the ways and means of this site can help put back some of the pieces my nicotene life ruined!
I will say one of my new ways and perspectives has and will be Patience Like Fuck!!! I have a great and wonderful family that has lived with me tolerated me and put up with me thru the addiction, thru the stoppages, thru the relapses, and now finally thru the Quit!!!
I have to have the resolve to be and stay patient even though I may not get craves and ever want to return to the rat shit in lip mentality I never really worked on the fixing of me and my patience or lack there of that we all experience from time to time.
I am writing this mainly to keep track of my own progress as I will be taking the same stance with this as I have with my quit process. I feel as though I slammed my quit and kicked its ass in every way now my resolve will be spread to let those who love me enjoy the new better me.
QUIT LIKE FUCK!!!!
PATIENCE LIKE FUCK!!!!
Its a mentality and resolve that truly helps when needed most!
Grizzly25.....105 day......out.
As much as I regret being the lieing sack of crap I was when I was a slave, I wouldn't change a thing. Without having to learn from my mistakes, without having to have fought to earn my freedom I would not be the man I am today. Today I am happy, I am quit, I am part of an amazing community and I am free. We earned that today.

Well said Grizz. I wrote this a while back and I think it is saying the same thing you are. It's all in how you look at yourself in the mirror every day.
Monsters:
We all have monsters, some bigger than others, some pull and tear at us night and day, some stand in the back ground and remind us they are there only occasionally, some are as small as a toy soldier and others are as big as a ten story building.
Most of the time we take a monster that is the size of a toy soldier and turn it into that ten story building just because we donÂ’t get our way or have what we want.
Your quit is one of these monsters you will have to deal with. You have to decide if it will be that toy soldier or that ten story building.
We all have within us the ability to turn that monster away. We all have the inherent strength to succeed. That choice is yours and you have to be able to look within yourself and find whatever it is that will allow you to step out of the dark and walk away from that monster that controls you.
I have learned one thing through adversity that has finally allowed me to take that gargantuan sized monster and turn it into that toy soldier. I will never allow my monsters to rule my life again. I did it with this saying and if you want to be successful in this quit journey you need to apply it as well:
I will always be stronger than my monsters, even on my weakest day! Period, the end.

Day 116.......
Ok so the HOF has come and gone I have been reading the speeches and still feeling the awesome goodness of great, strong quit!!!!
....now what?
How bout some random thoughts for no real good reason 'Crazy'
I want to keep writing in this area so I can look back and appreciate how far I have gotten and how much further there is to go....
I have been re-reading my page very often usually when I have gotten a bit bent with either my kids or my wife but then I was reading it just to remind myself of the struggle....
I had been chewing since I was 12 years old! I am now QUIT not stopped but QUIT!!!!
Holy shit!!!! I keep thinking ....How the hell did you do this?
I read on here what my may quit brothers have written and what all we have struggled to get thru to get this far and realize we got this far by being responsible ass kicking stubborn fuckers that just were tired of being dependent on nicotene!
We continue to keep winning and thats the point right?
I like to look at things like this... Win for today, prepare for tomorrow, always be moving forward!
Quiting nicotene has been and will continue to be the most constant intense fight of my life....
I will continue to keep winning day by day with the bad asses from my group and the rest of the bad ass on this site, why?
Cause we are accountable to each other and we ALL take that very seriously!!

Day 126......
Well lets see where to begin.....
I had the worst weekend I could have ever imagined and honestly was as close to giving into the nic-whore more so this past Saturday than I have been at any time durring my quit.....
I would say the only thing that made me not get the Grizzly was the fact that if I bought it chewed it and got everything else I could get from that shit it still would have made nothing better!
I would have just gotten back into being a slave to the shit again, it wouldnt have hurt anyone except for myself, it certainly would have not gotten rid of the issues at hand!!!!
I made it thru the weekend and that is a victory, I will not go back to that shit no matter what the cost!!!!
I will try to build on the victory of making it thru the weekend to help the other aspects of my life.
I am having issues with the fact I drove to a store to buy a can and was still able to stop myself before giving in, I can only think that without this site and the accountability it brings I surely would have caved.
While at the store I had these thoughts:
What the hell would my group say to me....
I would go from HOF'er to fucking -0- just like that......
How could I even try to face any of the people who had caved knowing I was just like them....
Would Wastepanel try to eat me?........
Would NOLAQ try to Private Pyle me to the whole group and site?......
Would Jon Rivers, mthomas, rgross, jameso, suckit, or any of my badass quit brothers actually come to my house and kick my ass??......
Lastly I am still an addict and still have the cravings even at day 126, they wont go away quick enough, I say thanks to my quit bro's and this site for keeping my ass in line even when no one knew they were doing it.........

Grizzly,
I live 20 minutes from you.
Of course I would eat you if you caved.
I would also swallow you whole as you would have to sit in my stomach and be slowly digested while you beat yourself up over your cave. Then, I would shit you out before you were fully digested and berate you further.
Don't fucking tempt me.
Just fucking call me next time
Use the tools that have helped you be successful so far, and press on. No fucking excuses. You can do this.

Way to fight the goof fight!!! I hope youDay 126 and u still get craves? Are they less intense then early on craves? I'm only on day 8 and looking forward to days of less crave. If I have to go through 100+ days feeling like this, I may lose my tucking mind!

First off, good job on beating it Grizzly. However, like waste said, don't let it go that far next time. I'm pretty sure he has a flexible work schedule too, allowing him freedom to come over and run you through his digestive tract at just about any point in the day.
Diesel, it gets MUCH better. You have to wrap your head around the fact that you are an addict, and it won't ever completely go away, but you will have entire days where nicotine doesn't cross your mind. As you read on here, you will find that these cravings come and go. As you get further in your quit, the "crave sessions" get shorter, weaker, and farther apart. Pretty much the polar opposite of a woman in progressing labor. There will be stages (120's) where almost everyone goes through some intense cravings. That is what Grizzly went through.
This drug is very predictable. Stay close and read a lot, and you'll be prepared for every phase this bitch will drag you through.
However, all any of us can do is to just focus on today. That is all you have to concentrate on. There's no point in worrying about tomorrow, because there's nothing you can do about it.
When tomorrow gets here, then you can do something about it, and that's the time to tackle it, not now.

I'm with Waste - Call me next time. Live by the rule that before you put that dip in - you have to call all the people you just listed and get permission to cave. Easier said than done I know because I have done the same thing and you were one of those who saved me - right around my infamous day 76. Great job winning the battle, great job not giving in, be proud of what you accomplished and build on it.
And just as important, thanks for sharing - you are leading the way and now I know what to expect as I get closer to the 120's. I am prepared for the major crave.
Great job - I am proud to be quit with you brother!!!

Grizz let me throw in my 2 pennies. I look up to you and the other quitters that you mentioned as my mentors. If any of you caved my entire quit would be shaken. I had better never pass one of you in days! I know for me thinking about all the shit I have dished out to cavers is enough to make me think 10 or 20 times before I could cave ( oh the shit that would come back). It is the same for all of us. I am proud to be quit with all of you.

Would Jon Rivers, thomas, gross, jameso, suckit, or any of my badass quit brothers actually come to my house and kick my ass??......
Lastly I am still an addict and still have the cravings even at day 126, they wont go away quick enough, I say thanks to my quit bro's and this site for keeping my ass in line even when no one knew they were doing it.........

Grizzly,
I live 20 minutes from you.
Of course I would eat you if you caved.
I would also swallow you whole as you would have to sit in my stomach and be slowly digested while you beat yourself up over your cave. Then, I would shit you out before you were fully digested and berate you further.
Don't fucking tempt me.
Just fucking call me next time
Use the tools that have helped you be successful so far, and press on. No fucking excuses. You can do this.
I'm with Waste - Call me next time. Live by the rule that before you put that dip in - you have to call all the people you just listed and get permission to cave. Easier said than done I know because I have done the same thing and you were one of those who saved me - right around my infamous day 76. Great job winning the battle, great job not giving in, be proud of what you accomplished and build on it.
And just as important, thanks for sharing - you are leading the way and now I know what to expect as I get closer to the 120's. I am prepared for the major crave.
Great job - I am proud to be quit with you brother!!!
Grizz let me throw in my 2 pennies. I look up to you and the other quitters that you mentioned as my mentors. If any of you caved my entire quit would be shaken. I had better never pass one of you in days! I know for me thinking about all the shit I have dished out to cavers is enough to make me think 10 or 20 times before I could cave ( oh the shit that would come back). It is the same for all of us. I am proud to be quit with all of you.
Thanks guys the support is truly appreciated!!!
I will say the funk and fog that happen after the hall is a sneaky sneaky bitch but staying close to this place and interacting with all these bad asses truly has had the effect I would have hoped!
Thanks again guys!

Day 126......
Well lets see where to begin.....
I had the worst weekend I could have ever imagined and honestly was as close to giving into the nic-whore more so this past Saturday than I have been at any time during my quit.....
I would say the only thing that made me not get the Grizzly was the fact that if I bought it chewed it and got everything else I could get from that shit it still would have made nothing better!
I would have just gotten back into being a slave to the shit again, it wouldn't have hurt anyone except for myself, it certainly would have not gotten rid of the issues at hand!!!!
I made it thru the weekend and that is a victory, I will not go back to that shit no matter what the cost!!!!
I will try to build on the victory of making it thru the weekend to help the other aspects of my life.
I am having issues with the fact I drove to a store to buy a can and was still able to stop myself before giving in, I can only think that without this site and the accountability it brings I surely would have caved.
While at the store I had these thoughts:
What the hell would my group say to me....
I would go from HOF'er to fucking -0- just like that......
How could I even try to face any of the people who had caved knowing I was just like them....
Would Wastepanel try to eat me?........
Would NOLAQ try to Private Pyle me to the whole group and site?......

Grizzlywillkillmeandleavemyfamilyfatherless,
You left your door open. You escaped by a narrow margin. It's time to shut the door. You don't dip anymore. It does not define who you are. It's time to get pissed. I mean like someone raped your sister pissed. Big tobacco is knocking at your door looking for their due. Question is: are you gonna follow their siren song- or tell them to piss off?
No More- Not for any reason.

Day 136.....
Well this quiting thing is getting better, the fog and funk have lifted I am starting to find myself all over again!
The best part is I truly have no desire to chew.....at all!
I have avoided quite a few things that I used to do quite often when I chewed one of them being fishing..... I have always loved fishing and well I have been avoiding it like the plague since I started getting all this funk and fog and testyness....I plan on doing alot of fishing in the next couple of weeks, it should be a great time!
I will continue to keep writing on this page mainly cause I like to keep myself accountable and continue to follow my progress in both victories and well the not-so-victorious moments....
I will keep powering thru the low moments which are fading fast and really enjoying the highs all the while sharing the victories with my journal!
Here are some awesome victories that I focus on:
-Coaching my sons baseball team to a 23-1 record has been quite a bit more relaxing than I thought it could ever be!
-Swimming at the neighbors where I would normally have a chew is tremendously easy without chew, I really thought that would be a tough hurdle to cross!
-Holidays with the in-laws....these are becomming much easier.
Those are just a few of the acivities I once enjoyed with chew ... now I enjoy them without and I actually enjoy them more!

Day 151....
Enjoying the freedom and still trying to figure out how in the hell I am at 151 days!
I had chewed for so long I never really thought I would quit, not I cant seem to figure out why I started except for the fact I was a dumb stupid insecure kid wanting to fit in....
I have wrote on my page here before of some of the small but huge victories I have encountered since my quit day and well the list continues to grow.
This weekend I will participate in the first softball tournament I have ever played without my old good friends Grizzly or Copenhagen!
I am so looking forward to this it seems kind of strange.
I wonder if I will continue to be the calm cool one on the field when everyone else is getting and bent cause the umpire simply made a bad call???
I say yes!
I wonder if I will be able to still hit really well without having to adjust my chew while in the batters box .....?
I say yes!
I think this will be another small but huge victory for me this weekend and I will continue to keep the Grizzly25 life upgrade in full swing, the re-wiring of my head has been a much funner challenge than I thought it would be considering I have almost no memory of any aspect of my life without chew!
Anyway on to better things and hopefully a Softball tournament winning weekend!

Thanks guys and the tournament went well.
The team I was on lost but played well I can honestly say crossing that hurdle was fun, intense, somewhat nerve racking but most of all accomplished!
Some fun stats for those out there
I went 7 for 8 at the plate 2 doubles and 5 singles
Pitched 4 innings gave up 7 runs...
Played 2 innings of right center and had one assist at second base!
The team only played to games and we lost both but still was awesome!

Day 172....
Quit is kicking into some great freedom!
I have crossed a few more hurdles and I think of them as good stepping stones yet also realize they are what was once a very sad and large portion of my life!
I have gotten done coaching my sons baseball team without the use of dip!
The team played great and had an awesome year I could not be prouder of those fine young men!
I have gotten almost all of my hunting gear prepped and ready for the up comming season, this is normally a very heavy dipping time of the year for me....yet this year I find that a small bag of David's original sunflower seeds really makes this far more enjoyable!
We just got done with our youth football draft and again normally a heavy dipping time for me, this I countered with some Smokey Mountain Wintergreen and everything went off without a problem!
I am getting ready to purchase a new truck, it is my own little reward for quitting and well I have been dealing with car dealerships for some time now and havent had a chew and havent even told one of those guys off!
I know these hurdles may seem insignificant to some but they are huge to me, I consider each one a victory and building block for the future. I look forward to the upcomming football and hunting season not with nervousness but with even more excitement than I would normally have, mainly do to the fact that all my hunting choices and coaching choices will not have the "When can I chew some Grizzly.." factor to deal with!!!

My how far we've come and how far we have yet to go. I remember the first time we talked, goo stuff. I remember the second time we talked, you were struggling a bit, thinking about going to the store. The person I read today is not the person you were during that second conversation. You are confident and working hard to insure that you stay quit. Above all else, you are enjoying being quit and you realize that you don't need nicotine to enjoy the rest of your life.
I was going to post something in my Intro, but Grizzly, my friend, you've done such a great job summing up your quit that I don't think I need to post in my Intro. Instead, I'll just say that I feel the same way you do on this kickass Quit Like Fuck Friday!!

I am getting ready to purchase a new truck, it is my own little reward for quitting and well I have been dealing with car dealerships for some time now and havent had a chew and havent even told one of those guys off!
I know these hurdles may seem insignificant to some but they are huge to me, I consider each one a victory and building block for the future. I look forward to the upcomming football and hunting season not with nervousness but with even more excitement than I would normally have, mainly do to the fact that all my hunting choices and coaching choices will not have the "When can I chew some Grizzly.." factor to deal with!!!

My how far we've come and how far we have yet to go. I remember the first time we talked, goo stuff. I remember the second time we talked, you were struggling a bit, thinking about going to the store. The person I read today is not the person you were during that second conversation. You are confident and working hard to insure that you stay quit. Above all else, you are enjoying being quit and you realize that you don't need nicotine to enjoy the rest of your life.
I was going to post something in my Intro, but Grizzly, my friend, you've done such a great job summing up your quit that I don't think I need to post in my Intro. Instead, I'll just say that I feel the same way you do on this kickass Quit Like Fuck Friday!!
Grizz, you are a great Role Model! Thanks for taking the time to help me get started, and for staying a part of my quit every day. Congratulations on the small victories, that's the way you win big battles and ultimately, the war.
Thanks Bro, see you at Roll Call!

Grizz of everyone online you have been one of my most faithful and consistent supporters. Thank you and I'm proud to quit with you daily!

Day 172....
Quit is kicking into some great freedom!
I have crossed a few more hurdles and I think of them as good stepping stones yet also realize they are what was once a very sad and large portion of my life!
I have gotten done coaching my sons baseball team without the use of dip!
The team played great and had an awesome year I could not be prouder of those fine young men!

Small victories are what posting roll everyday is. I know Jag and I look forward to seeing you tagging support in our thread everyday. Can't begin to say how much that has meant to each of us.
Being able to truly live the seasonal events in your life without the bitch, are big victories that you are entitled to cherish, because of your daily small victory.
Congratulations and proud to be quit with the likes of you everyday, one at a time.

Day 204.....
It has been quite awhile since I last posted anything in my log and well I have actually really stepped back from KTC lately not for any reason other than I needed to focus on some other things. The best part of that was the fact that I didnt forget to post and it is always one of the first things I do every morning!
So what have I been up to......well I finally got my reward for quiting.. I bought a 2013 Dodge Dart! I really enjoy this car and what the car symbolizes to me is the fact I set my mind to something and have not once gotten off track, I have followed thru to this day and still cannot think of any good reason to go back to dipping!
I have started the youth football season here where I live and this year I am coaching with a new group of guys, these guys are a great group with only one flaw...yep you guessed it, 2 of the 9 coaches chew! I am new to this team so not going to make them quit but I have told them to not have the big lippers when they are around the boys coaching, I can't make them quit but I can keep them from influencing these boys! One of the factors that strengthened my resolve was how many young people I influence in a single day and the mere thought of any of the young people I have been around getting involved in the trap that comes from buying a can of chew.........well it pisses me off in a very bad way! I will continue to show the boys that chewing doesnt make you look cool it only makes you look like a fool!
I have been reflecting alot on what has gotten me to this point and well alot of changes have happened for me in the last 204 days I have become a much stronger person and what I think a better person. I cannot thank KTC enough for all it has helped me to get thru over conquer.
I wanted to write to let everyone know that this site is the best place to quit chewing and who knows you may even learn a few more things about yourself than you thought possible.

That fucking rocks Griz.
I was just thinking about you the other day and if you were going to be able to hold out on purchasing the truck. When we met earlier this month, you were fucking pumped for it.
I think the same thing about influencing the youth. I'm not trapjaw all the time, but I am when I'm here and when I'm coaching my kids. I've called out umpires, parents, and written emails to our baseball league's commissioner to put out reminders that using is not ok. I don't give a fuck what others think, but I'll be damned if I let that drug become "part of the game". Fuck that.
I'm very proud of you.
Stay away from the drunken New Orleans girls.

Day 234....
Quiting is never easy!
I will say that quitting has been much more satisfying than I could have ever really imagined.
I truly enjoy the freedom that comes with not chewing, I see alot of guys I hang with who are soooo dependant on thier can and always want to tell them hey bro there is a much better way to live than being such a slave to the can!
I am happy to say I have inspired one of my friends to quit, I was out in Phoenix and we were all just hainging out drinking a few cold ones when he decided to put in a fatty....then he asked me if I would like one....I respectfully declined and pulled out my Smokey Mountain and put in a fatty of the fake stuff!
...well the drinking continued late into the night.....
Around 2 a.m. he was going for another fatty when he realized he was out of his cancer causing product....then he asks me for mine not a problem I tell him.
He puts the fatty in his mouth and says how satisfying it is to have some good Ohio chew......... I told him to keep the can!
I truly dont think he knew it was fake or do to the amounts of booze that was being drank just didnt realize it!
The next day he was asking me about the chew I gave him and was it really fake chew, I of course told him yes it is! He ordered a roll of Smokey Mountain Pouches that day and as far as I know he is only chewing that instead of the cancer causing product!
Anyway I figured you guys would get a kick out of that story, I can only hope that more of the people I hang with will start to come to thier senses and kick the nic to the curb!
Grizzly25/Lou still QUIT staying focused strong....out....

Grizz your friend isn't the only one you've influenced to quit. Your influence and constant encouragement kept me going many times and you are there for so many. I've tried to shape my help to other after your example.

Day 269......
Closing in on the third floor.......what have I learned?
I have learned that being quit is awesome!
I have learned that I no longer need to run to the store every couple days to get my can of welfare bear.....
I have learned that I dont need to have a chew first thing in the morning on the drive to work...
I have learned that more people respect me when I dont have a big fatty in my lip!
I have learned that kids who see men take a stand and quit are far more likely to follow them as opposed to those who easily cave!
I have learned that without chew LIFE does go ON!
I have learned that my temperment is far more even keel than in years past when I was under the Grizzly spell.....
I have learned that drinking the KTC kool-aid is fantastic and along with some grit resolve determination I can QUIT!
I have learned that many men a few women determined to have a similiar goal cannot be denied!!!!
I have learned most of all that quiting is not impossible but very possible when you want it bad enough!!!!
Quit on Quiters....

309 days and counting........
I figured I would go back a read some of the things I had written and see what all has changed......WOW!!!!!
I think and know that this website is the very best and possibly the most life saving thing I have done for myself ever!!!
I look back and think, what the hell was I thinking wasting all that time and money on that crap that for some dumbass reason I thought I needed! Now I go into everyday thinking I kicked that ass! Nic's ass that is! I dont get in my car and think wow I only have enough grizzly to last til lunch time, then I will have to figure out how I will be able to get my chew and eat lunch in a half hour........
WOW WAS I A DUMBASS!!!
Now I get into my car and just enjoy the drive into work looking for deer instead of trying to make sure I dont miss my spit cup!
I also enjoy not having like 30 empty cans of shit rolling around in my car or how those spit cups always seemed to spill!
I dont miss having the sore mouth all the time especially early in the morning after a long night of chewing, that was always one of those times where I would put in a fatty and think, What the Hell is wrong with you??????
Anyway I am very proud to be associated with this website and always want to help those who are just getting started in thier quits!
Thanks to all the great awesome badass quiters I have met and those who I will meet!
Stay Strong, Focused, QUIT!!!!!

I dont miss having the sore mouth all the time especially early in the morning after a long night of chewing, that was always one of those times where I would put in a fatty and think, What the Hell is wrong with you??????
Anyway I am very proud to be associated with this website and always want to help those who are just getting started in thier quits!
Thanks to all the great awesome badass quiters I have met and those who I will meet!
Stay Strong, Focused, QUIT!!!!!
Reading this reminded me of another thing I'm not gonna miss. Last month I went to pack the tin and the cover wasn't probably secured, so of course the tin exploded open, and spilled dip all over my bedroom carpet. I then proceeded to first pack a lip from the dip off the ground, then save as much as I could, while getting pissed off that I now have to clean said carpet. Man fuck that I won't miss that at all.

I think and know that this website is the very best and possibly the most life saving thing I have done for myself ever!!!
I look back and think, what the hell was I thinking wasting all that time and money on that crap that for some dumbass reason I thought I needed! Now I go into everyday thinking I kicked that ass! Nic's ass that is! I dont get in my car and think wow I only have enough grizzly to last til lunch time, then I will have to figure out how I will be able to get my chew and eat lunch in a half hour........
WOW WAS I A DUMBASS!!!

Ok, since we are reminiscing. Take the above open tin snap misfortune and place yourself on a typical late night ninja mission with the wife and kid sleeping upstairs. Damn light carpet!
("what excuse do I have for firing up the vacuum at midnight .... Will she buy it.." "I think I can get it with my fingers")
Or the standard full spitter spill on the couch when u try to squeeze a quick one in when the wife runs out for some milk.
Ninja cleanups suck!

Hijacking threads is one of my new favorite things to do. :ph43r:
So, I was quite the talented dipper. Pretty amazing really. I used to ninja dip while seeing clients, doing surgery, or even at school functions....but, I was also able to place a nice gagger in while urinating. My aim is uncanny. Whilst peeing, I could open the can o cancer, insert appropriate sized 3 finger-gagger, rub fingers over open can to remove stray flecks, close lid, tap peepee 3 times, flush, and be on my merry way of addicted doucheville.
Once, however, unbeknownst to me, I opened the can o death over the tile not the terlet. Thereby dusting the surrounding tile with hundreds of wintergreen speckles. Within the hour I heard my OCD wife yelling for me to come to the bathroom.
I entered the bathroom to find my wife eye-level to the floor, wiping up the seeds of wintergreen with TP. She turns and gives me the "you're dipping again aren't you" look. Being the ever-quickminded-douchebag-addict, I quickly feigned consternation and began inspecting the "foreign" substance on the tile. Now, most of you know I am an emergency veterinarian (ERDVM), and being in the south, we see a shit ton of flea problems. So.....with my best doctor face on.....I looked my wife in the eye...and diagnosed the specks as "flea dirt". (Flea dirt is the laymens' term for flea feces. Found on pets and their bedding when there is a flea infestation). Yep, I say, I must have had it on my scrubs or something.
My wife began to scrub the floor furiously. She demanded that I take a shower, and, still to this day, makes me immediately take off my scrubs and shower when I get home.

358 days.......
Well I am nearing a year and to say I really thought this would happen is bullshit!, I knew I was determined to quit and found the right place but, and this is a big but, I was unsure of my resolve. I can say that now today on day #358 I am a quiter, I can also say I am still an addict....... that last part just blows but unfortunately it is accurate for most of us on this site.
I can say I am an addict and not want to be pissed mainly because I have stopped living the lie I know what my issue was and took it on and keep kicking its ass every single day! I will never be cured of my nicotene addiction but I also never have to live the life of the nicotene addict, I am a quiter and proud to say that and even more proud to be part of this site.
As I near 1 year I have a tendency to reflect ....... What was I doing 1 year ago...?
Working my job with a big fatty in my lip and living the constant worry of do I have enough for the day or will I need to make time to stop and pick up some more for the evening!!!
Worried that my boss would stop in my office and see the spitoon sitting on my desk or worse someone knocking said spitoon onto the floor or spilling it on my desk!!!
Coaching kids with a huge fatty in my lip and lieing to the kids when they asked what was in my lip.....(shameful)
Lieing to my kids and telling them I had slowed down and I wasnt going thru as much as it looked like I was chewing.....
Spending anywhere from $5.50 to $10.00 per day on chew?!?!?!?
Wondering if when I go on vacation if the stores would be carrying my brand?
These are just a few of the bits of bullshit I dealt with daily like all of us when I was nicotene's bitch!
I am happy to say I know longer have any of those worries and while I may never be cured I am in control of who and what I am, nicotene does not have any bearing on my day or life!
Quit on quiters and everyday I appreciate the fact I found this site and the awesome badasses who have helped me get to where I am, thank you!!!

Day 518.......
I AM STILL QUIT AND PROUD OF IT!!!!
I can remember those early foggy grouchy cranky days and man just thinking about those days sucks!!!
I have found freedom from the can and I am starting to get a really bad attitude toward those who chew and mostly around those who chew while coaching kids......
I have the feeling I may have to get my redneck out and bust some ass this football season if the same coaches keep putting in those huge lippers in front of the 5 6th grade football players.......
Anyway I am quit and I am also an addict but I have chosen to kick nic's ass one day at a time each and everyday!!!

I say do it almost all the stories here are the same it was some person we looked up to that lipped so we did it. If it is a YMCA sponsored event I dont believe that their mantra says anything about having a full lip in front of the kids. I cant believe how stupid I was last year when I coached my son's team dipping infront of them. Well this year if I coach I will be dip free and actions speak louder than words. Especially to kids.

Grizz, you had and still have a major influence in my quit. Congrats and I think the reformed dippers are more angry at the influence of nicotine than those who never touched it.
I don't know if that is true but from your comments and my feelings, a boot in any dippers ass is a good thing when they chew and spit in front of kids. Yeah its a free country but it is illegal for children to use and inappropriate for adults to have children present when they dip.
Good evidence that they are addicts. Any reasonable adult would refrain from dipping in front of children; especially ones that they are role models to. What coach really would want to look at one of their kids 20 years from now with their jaw removed? That is a possible scenario.
It would be cool if little leagues adopted a no nicotine use during practice or play for coaches and parents.

Day 566..... (Still Quit Like Fuck)
Been quit strong hard and like fuck for 566 days, I cannot say it hasnt been without some severe struggles. I think if I hadnt been told about this site at the same time as going to the dentist I would not be quit today!
Some recent news.... I started a new job back in June, I was nervous and reluctant to share this news since I felt shame in having to resign from my previous job, a job where I worked for the same company for 15 years...although none of those years were really very good!
My new job is radically different yet similiar to my previous job, the differences are best summed up by just comparing the products.... Former job product was hinges..... Current job transformer repair!
The new job has been great and for the most part the people have welcomed the new blood boss. I will say that once I started this job I have had more dip dreams and been tempted more than I had been the previous 500 days!!!
I have also been challenged by more chewers than I had come across durring my entire quit to this point, I have really enjoyed the fact that I can proudly say I am QUIT then shoot out the number of days. I will also say that when I tell people yound and old alike the the number of days right off the cuff thier reaction is priceless, somnetimes its like there is no way you know that, or wow your really commited either way it is great!
I will be starting a new policy where I work and it was a suggestion but not an order, soon enough there will be no chewing or tobacco products on the grounds....
As you might think this is not a welcomed decfision but hey I didnt ask to have these dippers make me dump thier spitoons or throw away thier empty cans, remember I am the boss these things would be best if they took care of them on thier own!
Anyway I want to say to any of the newbies who may read this I was way way way down and never even gave it a thought to start back up, even when I had the most uncertain future and everything was looking the worst!!
I relied on KTC even without writing what all was going on I got on and read alot and thru the writings of the fellow quiters and the other vets all went well and is still getting better.
Quit on Quiters!

Day 606... QUIT LIKE FUCK
Well I hit the 6th floor and very happy with my accomplishment, I am still quit like fuck.
I will have to admit the last 40+ days have been a very huge struggle, I am not truly sure as to the why.
I have not had the want nor desire to chew really sense I first quit but lately I find myself looking at the advertisements and thinking hmmmmm just one more wont hurt..... or seeing so many around me chewing and thinking hmm one more would be awesome! I hate the fact that at such an early age I tried chew and let that bich sink her claws into me!
I truly believe if it werent for KTC and posting everyday I would have caved back and not thought anything about it.
I am a nicotene addict and there is nothing I can do about it, I am also a quiter and that I can do plenty about.
Staying strong, staying focused, staying QUIT!!

I know that feel. I'm 560 days quit and the bitch still sends her thoughts to me every once in a while.
I'm quit, I know I'm not a slave anymore, but the thoughts come. That's why I'm here posting every day.
You newer fellows take note. You may still get cravings 500+ days in. Sure they are easy to ignore at this point, but I'm not so sure how easy it would be if I didn't stick around this place. I'm not willing to take that gamble.

Lou, I'm at the same place. It is pretty easy for me to stay quit, there are no intense craves, dreams or urges. Instead I now find I'm fighting complacency exactly like you are. Screw that. We've all worked to hard to just cave because the bitch is persistent. Keep posting, keep remembering what being a slave was like... Keep the quit coming...

Post up. What is the day? If its day 1, post it and take your medicine.
Nicotine use is because of addiction: Addiction meets the definition of disease.
Chronic, it has the same signs and symptoms, if left untreated it can lead to death.
Diabetics monitor their sugar levels. They treat thier disease with pills, shots, diet or exercise. Nicotine addicts....You need to post roll daily and keep your word!
If a diabetic gives themselves insulin shots, is posting roll too much to ask of an addict?
Come back, be humble and get treatment!!!!!!! If you fucked up; be accountable. In quit or cave this site deserves accountability. Don't lurk. Get busy fighting and winning. Right here, Right now.

This site has given myself and many others the support and guidance needed to battle this foe known as nicotine and win! We don't ever get to say we are cured we say WE are QUIT!!!!
I hope that all the new quiters and even the vets can continue to stay focused stay strong and most of all stay QUIT!!!!!
Advise to the newbies ..... get numbers be active KEEP YOUR PROMISE!!!!

Day 921.....
Has been tough but I am Quit Like Fuck and intend on staying that way!
I have had times where the temptation has been more frequent than other times, I work with many people who chew and the temptation is literally everywhere.
I can honestly say there has been at least 3 times in the last month that the idea of having just 1 chew has crossed my mind......
Fortunately 921 days ago I found KTC and have kept my promise and not given in, unfortunately just the fact that after 921 days the temptation can still exist sucks!
It is also the reminder that I am an addict....... so I can never really let my guard down or let my resolve slip in any way.

You have almost double the quit I have and I know what your talking about. I still am tempted at times and wonder if I still will be tempted where your at. I guess you just answered that.
Funny thing is I remember being tempted before I ever put the first chew in my mouth though!! HMMMMMMMMM! Sure beats craving and being owned by the poison. Quit with you today grizzly. Thanks for being here for 900+

Wait what? I respect that you are closing in on your comma, but you say you are around dippers a lot, and still get frequent craves. Next you say that you'll stop posting after you get your comma, and in the next line say that KTC is still the best way to quit... Sounds to me like you are planning your cave.
I just don't get why you would stop posting.

I know where to go if I were to get worried about caving, just need to continue to move forward is all.
Planning a cave????
Not sure about that one but hey all good here I am surrounded by many dippers, but, I have no intention of caving!

Grizzly25 Day #962
Been a good day, started like any other day.....
woke up and shit, showered shaved....
Poured coffee woke up kids and drove to work.
Came into my office set the coffee cup down and passed out pay checks to the midnight crew, then collected labor cards.
I managed to get my morning tasks out of the way with little problems, talk to my days crew and came back to my office.
POSTED ROLL!!!!!!!
Posted on my great friend Cbird's page and continued on my days activities....
I have been thinking of how the journey to being quit has started all day for some reason, I really think its because some of my quit friends are reaching the comma milestone.
I think back to when this started and what an angry guy I had been while I was chewing and where my life has gone since I found KTC and Quit Like Fuck!
I will have my oldest daughter graduate this year.... never thought I would see this without chewing .......
My oldest son is quite the athlete in 3 sports Basketball, Football, Baseball, he could very easily be playing varsity basketball this season ...as a Freshmen! ......never thought I would see that day without chew.....
My youngest daughter is now 13 and all interested in boys, volleyball, basketball, softball.........never thought I would be ok with my baby girl being interested in boys and not wanting to kill them without the help of Grizzly....
My youngest son is slowing starting to remind my parents of me... and we all no that karma kid is always fun!!! ...... I didnt think I would be able to handle this without chew......
I look back and see where I have grown and become a little better, I truly think the help I was able to find here was the one thing I truly needed.
This site is fantastic and the best way to quit and stay that way, here you will find advise, avenue to vent, a good kick in the ass, and most of all support!
Not really sure why I wrote this other than its my thoughts, I really hope that someday I can help other quiters as much as Cbird helped me, even if its a way to reflect on what good can come from taking your life back from nicotine and becoming a badass quiter.
