Title: Newbie from Pa
Post by: Grady on April 23, 2014, 10:11:00 PM
Hey all , 30 year shit dipper here. I've been chewing since I was 15. I quit in the late 90's for 1 1/2 years, went boozing with some buddies, had a chew and it's been full throttle ever since. Made a deal with the Mrs. last year, if she lost X amount of weight, I'd quit. Well she lost X amount of weight, X2. So, 2 weeks ago I "quit" cold turkey for about 18 hours. I don't have to tell anyone here how that went. So the past 2 weeks, it's been, "I'm quitting tomorrow." I've been using the patches, rip the patch off, put in a chew. I've dumped probably 4 cans of Skoal down the drain over the past 2weeks, only to find myself running to the store to buy another.

Well I say 'Finger' to Skoal Original fine cut. I dumped the last and final can down the shitter about an hour ago. I really am sick and tired of this. If the wife and I go somewhere she tells me not to even speak to her because my breath stinks so bad. Everywhere I go, I have my little shit breath cleaning packet in my truck: mouthwash, toothbrush, toothpaste, gum, mints. It's sad! I ask the wife for a kiss, she asks, when was your last chew. Just to clarify, I'm quitting for myself. I've been down the road of someone wanting me to quit and as the old saying goes, you just resent that person. You know what they say about resentments, " Holding a resentment is like pissing yourself, no one else knows or know one else cares!"

I put the bottle down 6 1/2 years ago. I did the rehab thing. I thought that was rough, pffff.... that wasn't nothing compared to this. This drug is unreal. So, I'm glad that I found this site. I did buy some Jake's mint 2 weeks ago, that's the only thing going in my mouth tomorrow morning. Amen!

I agree. You did come to the right place. Make sure you peruse this site in its entirety and post roll with your quit group which will be July. Every day we post our name with our quit group and promise not to use nicotine, in any form, for that day. The next day, repeat the cycle. Become involved and build your web of accountability. Up to this point you have only been accountable to 1 person, now you are accountable to many. If you are a man of your word, then be true to it and keep that promise. In return, we will keep our promise to not use nicotine for that day with you. We will also be here for support to make sure you don't break that promise.

Hop on board Grady, I look forward to seeing your name on roll tomorrow.

Welcome to the quit asylum Grady. You sound fed up with this shit. That's good. You can do this. I dipped for 26 years and because of the accountability this community demands, I have been clean for 152 days. It's the best thing I have ever decided to do. Glad you joined us.

Thanks for the welcome fella's. Steak, my name will be on roll tomorrow! rdad, thank you. I am beyond fed up with this nasty shit. When I spit that last kiss my ass chew out earlier, I looked in the sink and told myself, "there will not be no more black grains in that sink ever again."

Welcome Grady. Sounds like you have the right attitude and you're certainly in the right place. It's real simple. We just quit for today. Tomorrow we do it again. If you need anything or want to swap numbers, send me a message. Go Bucs.

Welcome Grady,

Congrats on the quit, glad you are taking your the first step in the right direction. I was in your shoes six weeks ago, never thought I'd make it this far, but due to this site I'm sitting here dip free. You seem to have a great attitude, my suggestion is simply to "drink the kool-aid" as they say. Post roll everyday, exchange numbers with your fellow July quit brothers/sisters, jump on live chat and get to know some of the quitters there, etc.

If you need a contact or any advice or just want to bull shit with someone send me a PM,

MCO

Hi Grady, I am quit with you today.

If you want to be quit, just follow the program. While it may not seem significant now, posting roll is what will keep you quit. Just do it!

Bucco's update: 2 to 1 Reds in the bottom of the 6th looking out my office window at the Jumbo Screen....welcome aboard. Make sure you are clear in your mind that you are ultimately doing this for yourself. You have got to want it for you. Accountability to your wife, other loved one's and your quit brothers here are critical, but ultimately you have to want to quit for you so that you are willing to use that accountability to motivate you through and embrace the suck. Based on your avatar and am guessing you were/are from Pittsburgh. PM me if you need anything!

Sam, you must hate those mid week day games? :D Too bad today didn't turn out too well. I am a diehard Bucco fan. Between the tv, going to 3-5 games a year and the radio, I might completely miss 10 games a year. I'm 1 1/2 hrs north of the 'burgh.

Between the voices, teeth r killing me, loss of appetite, stomach is all out of f'd up, I've definitely embraced the suck today. I got this.

You definitely embraced it and I was stoked to see your name on roll. Keep this up embrace it againÂ…the suck will go away, I can promise you that. When the fog clears, you'll hardly recognize the addict when you look at yourself through the eyes of a quitter.

Although it's 100% truth, it still sucks! The Bucco's are playing like total shit lately.

This afternoon things have gotten better. I got some much missed sleep, from last nights head trip. Coming up on 48 hrs. So, we'll see what tonight holds for me. I told the wife last night, "talk to me on Sunday." 'Crazy' Quit on and hey nic 'Finger'

Everything will get better my friend. Yea, for a minute or two it will suck, but it's worth every second. Breathe in that dignity you've gained back this day. Suck in that freedom your taking back.

Began sharpening your tools. Knowledge on nicotine/addiction will go a long ways. You'll be surprised at how much a little knowledge will help. There is a vast amount of knowledge on this site. Start reading and replacing the lies with the truth. Knowledge is power.

Water, water and water. Flush the poison out. 72 hours and then it becomes mental. You got this man. One day at a time. If you have to take it one minute/second at a time. Time feels as though it slows down for a little while but in time you will kick yourself right in the a@@ for ever putting the poison in your pie hole. Quit with you today.

^^^^^^......it does/will get better incrementally and ODAAT! You hang tough through this, read what srans wrote above...that shitty feeling is the poison leaving your body, it is healing in progress. Get to the welcome center and read. Read how the bitch tricks your mind into feeling good, giving you the perception that everything is better with a packed lip. IT IS A LIE and right now she is trying to yell it in your ear. This is you taking back your freedom and she is pissed so you get pissed right back! Pissed that you fell into this trap, pissed that big tobacco peddles this shit to you to our children and knows it is selling death, and pissed that your addiction is trying to keep you. Screw that, fight the Bitch!

Day #3 and I'm alive, kickin and QUIT! srans, trust me when I say I know quite a bit about addiction (never enough though) I'm a recovering alky so that knowledge that I've gained from the AA program, is really helping me through this bullshit addiction. The serenity prayer helps.

Man it's day #4 and I pray that all that shit is out of my body. Wow, you talk about not only the mind games but physically the poison wasn't leaving without a fight. I feel pretty darn good this morning. Thank God for Jakes. That after dinner time and first thing in the morning time, is the SOB.

I say to all my fellow addicts, thank you. It's going to be a great day, free from that shit.

Take a step out your door today and take a good look around. You'll see everything differently. Take a look at the world without nicotine desensitizing your feelings and blurring your vision. After a year of quit i still look around in disbelief. I feel different, see different, act different. There is nothing about us the poison doesn't affect. Suck in that dignity and feel that freedom!

You have a lot of repairs that will take place. You have a new Grady to build. The old Grady is screwed up pretty bad. The new Grady will take some time to build, but he's worth it.

There is a door you need to get to. Sharpen those tools, settle in and make your way to the door. I can't tell you how far the door is or how long it will take to get there, but I can tell you it's worth every step. We're here to help you make it, and make it you will. Failure is not an option!!

Grady,
Adding to what srans is saying....
There is a brave new world out there without nicotine. Now that you are done with dip, it's time to start replacing the nic bitch with other more valuable things in your life. You will suddenly realize that you have all sorts of free time. And the ability and desire to start spending that time on the things in your life that really matter. I can honestly say my marriage got better, my work environment got better, and my enjoyment of my hobbies got better. Why? Well I don't have to think about increasing my cancer risk because I don't have a dip in. And if I don't have a dip in, then I'm not jones'in for the time when I would put one in. So, the vicious cycle of dip...do I dip?...should I dip?...what if I dip?...well, I kinda want a dip...oh hell I'll just have one dip...is all bullshit and gone. Enjoy building your new life brother. It is nothing short of life saving. I quit with you today.

Funny how I remember srans telling me to do the same thing a little while back... I took his advice and I suggest you take it as well.

Get outside and look around. Soak it in. This is a big day in your life! Go for a walk and remember this day. You are free today. Free from the slavery brought on by the nic B. And that my friend is priceless!

I love to see quitters come out of the dark and catch the glimpse of how beautiful life without nicotine is. The guys above me are 3 great dudes and badass quitters. You have the right attitude Grady. Glad you joined us.

The Mrs. says to me this morning, "you seem in such a better mood today, how do you feel." My response was, "different in a good way." I know that it is way too early to be thinking that there's been drastic changes made but man it is so nice not to have that vice.

Driving to the store this morning I'm playing the scenario over in my head: this is where you'd be grabbing your spitter or if you didn't have one, you'd grab a couple of paper towels and wad them up so you could spit. Pull into the store parking lot: grab the bottle of water (which I had 100 % of the time with me) so I could rinse my mouth out. Grab the mouthwash, rinse the shit out of your nasty mouth. Go to step out of the truck and almost step into the big wad of shit, that you just spit out on the ground.

srans, cowboy, derk  rdad thank you all. You know some of my posts have described my recovery with being an alky. 6 1/2 years of being sober and there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of my addiction to booze and what I allowed it to do to my life. This addiction to nicotine is no different whatsoever. A drug is a drug whether or not it's drank, smoked, chewed, injected, it doesn't make no difference at all. A drug will control every aspect of your life, period. Like all of you, I have chosen to not allow this addiction, to control my life anymore and damn if it doesn't feel good inside and out.

To each and everyone of you, thank you. Thank you for being a part of my quit.

The bitch was looking me right square in the eye!

I had a serious gut check over the weekend and I thought I'd share. So to make a real long story short, my Dad after a year in and out of the hospital, nursing homes, home back and forth, was sent to the hospital last Tuesday in serious condition. On Thursday, myself being the family spokesmen and handling speaking with all the Doctors, got a call that my Dad's condition was grave. After looking at all the facts and the professional advice, we as a family decided that it was out of our hands and that the decision to terminate life support had to be made.

This all leads to the bitch wanting to go a few rounds with me. There I was toe to toe with that whore. My brother who has also been one of my Skoal brothers for as long as I can remember, takes a big 'ol pinch right in front of me sitting in a waiting room at the hospital. When that smell hit my nostrils, I honestly thought I was going to puke. I had to go for a short walk. Needless to say we spent a lot of time with one another over the weekend, with all the bullshit happening, and us trying to spend as much time with our mother, we were in the vehicle together on more than one occasion. Oh yeah, he's got the spitter working, patooey. So there I am saying to myself, "are you f'ing kidding me, Dad is lying in the hospital dying and my brother is right beside me with that bitch that took so many years of my life away from me, right there within arms reach."

I was told by the ordering Dr. that this would all be relatively quick. Friday night we all said our goodbyes and we went home. So, I am the 1st contact and needless to say all throughout the night on Friday I didn't get much sleep. The phone never rang. The phone didn't ring all weekend. The emotional roller coaster that the whole family is experiencing is beyond any words. Today is now Tuesday and Dad has not passed yet.

I attempted to keep busy over the weekend. One of my trademarks of my addiction to the miserable whore was that I always was so self-conscious about my chewing. I constantly brushed my teeth, sometimes getting remnants of toothpaste in my goatee. So, anyways I'm out in my garage keeping busy, my wife comes up to me and says, "what is on your face, toothpaste? Oh my God were you chewing?" This wasn't the 1st time throughout my 20 days of my quit that she's asked this. Even chewing Jakes, I still brush my teeth when I spit one out, I can not stand shit in my teeth. Back to the Mrs. I look at her and snap, " If you ask me on more *^%in time if I had a chew, I'm going to start again." BOOM! There she is. That nicotine bitch is feeding off my fucked up emotions. I have spent a lot of time on KTC over the weekend and it has what has got me through all this.

She didn't win, I didn't cave. I will NOT cave.

Just over a year ago i had to do the same with my dad. It sucks.

Just remember one thing with your wife - she didn't do this to you. You did. I see you in here fighting, and I see in your intro that your love for your wife was part of your motivation. Think how many times she has been let down by you with this addiction, and realize she has earned the right to question you. You must not take it out on her. That's what we are hear for - yell and rage at us.

You sir are killing it. These bad asses here are giving you great advice, stick with it and you can't go wrong. You need anything shoot me a pm..

Just saw this thread this morning Grady. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family. You really seem to have this when it comes to quitting. Stay strong on this. Life goes on and we experience its highs and lows as we go; at no point will nicotine ever make it better, easier or whatever. Quit with you today.

To all you guys that replied to me over the past couple of days, thank you. Without any doubt in my mind whatsoever, I would not have made it through today without you guys and I would have caved. My Dad passed this morning.


As my brother and I drove making arrangements, I started to get that "oh pity fuckin me" feeling. I honestly thought to myself, "I made a promise to all those dudes and myself. I ain't caving.". I didn't cave. I won't cave. I will fight this addiction everyday of my life! Dig it!

41 days? Are you kidding me. I laughed my ass off reading what I wrote on my 1st 3-4 days of my quit. Man, a lot has happened since I first made my intro but regardless I AM QUIT and that my friends is all that matters.

Question: How many of you spit like a little school boy now? This is just too funny. I guess just by 2nd nature after 30 years I'm outside and I just spit, the half ass projectile from my mouth just kinda trickles down my goatee. All I could do is laugh but that's a good thing. Fuck the spit and keep the quit!

Hey,

1) May was a rough work month and I did a lot of posting and running. Just got caught up on your thread. I am sorry to hear that you lost your father and wanted to let you know I am sorry to find out about your loss.

2) J2B - is the only thing I like about Cleveland. He seems alright, even if he is a Brown's fan.

3) Go Bucs!!!

4) QLF EDD!

Thanks Sam. Yinz is allite n'at. I dig that logo in your avatar. Cleveland has one good thing and that's the West Side Market . Man that place is unreal, sorry to say but as far as food, it's better than the Strip. (Did I just say that? Please Lord forgive me, I am not a Pa trader) As far as the turds and the Injuns 'Finger' (Although Tito  Swish are good people) Quit on no matter what life brings you!
