Hey guys,
I've been thinking about quitting for a while now, and decided today was the day.
I have been chewing like a fiend for a few years now, and have decided that I'm done with spending money on it. I chew mostly when I study and play video games, also during hockey season, but that's winding down as well.
I don't want to be a statistic. I want to get this shit out of my system now, and I wanted to start before I graduate college in May.
I've read some tips on quitting here, and you better believe I'll be getting some seeds after class. I don't know what else to write, but any suggestions on how to make quitting easier, especially during finals time, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Welcome aboard William! First things first - realize that there is nothing easy about quitting nicotine. It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.
You have to be 100% committed to quitting. You have to fully buy into the fact that nicotine will not help you with your studying or whatever else is causing you stress. There are always other options. Go for a walk, a run, a fuck....just don't use nicotine. All those things that used to require a chew - you can and will do those things nicotine free.
And only worry about today. Better yet, only worry about making it through your next crave. One at a time.
Me, I've been quit 681 days. I can guarantee that I'll stay quit today because I've given my word by posting roll. I'd like to think I'll continue that trend tomorrow, but I'll deal with tomorrow when it comes.
Anyone can quit for a single day. Go post roll in the July 2010 pre-HOF group. You'll screw up the first time, but those guys will help you out.

even LOOT can quit for a single day

Hi,
I've been thinking all morning of what to say to this board. As you can see, I posted here back in 2010. Just about this time two years ago, actually, was the start of what I'd hoped was my lifelong quit from dip.
After graduating, I came back home. I'll tell you, nothing was as hard as staying quit during college finals. I persevered, and made it home without a lick of nic in my body.
Since then, I broke my quit, and stopped posting. I was ashamed, and still am. I'm back now because I am so sick of what I'm doing to my body and my wallet.
I want this to be over. I remember those nights during my first 'quit', and how I'd wake up in a cold sweat every night. I have to admit, I'm concerned with losing sleep again, but I know if I surround myself with positive people, and work through it, I can get over chew for good.
I want to kick my own ass for getting back into it, but it's time I get this shit-monster off my back for good.
I'll be posting for the August pre-HOF boards, come say hi.
Thanks,
Will

I was quit for just two months when it happened, but a friend of mine offered me a chew. I told him I'd been quit for a while at that time, and we left it at that. Five minutes pass, and I asked myself what it could hurt. I grabbed the tin and threw one in. It was the dumbest thing I could have ever done. Since then, I ripped a tin every couple of days.
The thing that's been different for me, especially in recent months, is that all of my friends that used to chew, have found ways to knock it off. One friend in particular has made a point to call me out every time he sees me with a chew. I haven't told him I started my quit today, but I'll be telling it to him in person tonight.
I will tell you this: Driving into work today without chew or spitters in my car was a pretty nice feeling. I feel better than I usually do after taking a horseshoe out of my mouth before the walk into the building.

So the factor that is going to keep you quit is that none of your friends chew. That would mean that the reason you failed last time is because your friends chewed.
Thats bullshit. There will always be people around you chew or use nicotine. You caved because of your own choices. No one forced you to cave.
Here's some better ideas on how to make this quit different:
Post roll daily- 46 post and quit for two months. Does not seem like you were to active.
Exchange #'s with fellow quitters. Instead of being a vagina and putting a dip in the first time some offers you one, text or call a brother to reinforce your quit.
Become more active on the boards. You will not find a better support system then KTC. But you have to commit 100%. Posting roll every few days and dissappearing is not 100% commitment. Build relationships with your quit brothers.
The fact is that if every person you know chews or if no one you know chews should not effect your quit at all. A set of balls is all you need to stay quit. You showed us last time that you did not have any. Its now up to you too prove that you do.

You can't quit because your friends did, or your wife or kids want you too, You have to QUIT for you. Welcome back if you are truly ready to quit. What is different than two years ago.

I know I deserve some shit for caving. I knew that coming back in, and I am going to stay quit.
Steve, I appreciate it. I will make a plan to stay quit. Do you mean a daily plan?
I also only posted roll last time around. That was dumb of me. I never contributed with the group other than that. I can do better than that, and I can prove it. I'll take it day-by-day, but I can prove it over time.

They are also your accountability!
PM me if you need some numbers til then QUIT LIKE FUCK one day at a time!

Hi,
I've been thinking all morning of what to say to this board. As you can see, I posted here back in 2010. Just about this time two years ago, actually, was the start of what I'd hoped was my lifelong quit from dip.
After graduating, I came back home. I'll tell you, nothing was as hard as staying quit during college finals. I persevered, and made it home without a lick of nic in my body.
Since then, I broke my quit, and stopped posting. I was ashamed, and still am. I'm back now because I am so sick of what I'm doing to my body and my wallet.
I want this to be over. I remember those nights during my first 'quit', and how I'd wake up in a cold sweat every night. I have to admit, I'm concerned with losing sleep again, but I know if I surround myself with positive people, and work through it, I can get over chew for good.
I want to kick my own ass for getting back into it, but it's time I get this shit-monster off my back for good.
I'll be posting for the August pre-HOF boards, come say hi.
Thanks,
Will
Way to familiar sound of........ I thought I had this licked and stayed away from the site......
You know there is a guy on here who has as part of his signature ..."You are not here by accident"
I wonder how many of us addicts think after we get to 100 days think they are cured and will be back like this guy???
I dont know you but I do know your addiction, you know the drill.
Post in August and your former group and be prepared to hear whats comming.....
What Happened?
Why Did it Happen?
What are you going to do Different?
Thanks, Griz.
Steve:
I was quit for just two months when it happened, but a friend of mine offered me a chew. I told him I'd been quit for a while at that time, and we left it at that. Five minutes pass, and I asked myself what it could hurt. I grabbed the tin and threw one in. It was the dumbest thing I could have ever done. Since then, I ripped a tin every couple of days.
The thing that's been different for me, especially in recent months, is that all of my friends that used to chew, have found ways to knock it off. One friend in particular has made a point to call me out every time he sees me with a chew. I haven't told him I started my quit today, but I'll be telling it to him in person tonight.
I will tell you this: Driving into work today without chew or spitters in my car was a pretty nice feeling. I feel better than I usually do after taking a horseshoe out of my mouth before the walk into the building.
You can't quit because your friends did, or your wife or kids want you too, You have to QUIT for you. Welcome back if you are truly ready to quit. What is different than two years ago.
I know I deserve some shit for caving. I knew that coming back in, and I am going to stay quit.
Steve, I appreciate it. I will make a plan to stay quit. Do you mean a daily plan?
I also only posted roll last time around. That was dumb of me. I never contributed with the group other than that. I can do better than that, and I can prove it. I'll take it day-by-day, but I can prove it over time.
I can and will be quit with you.
I will continue to watch your quit closely, reason being I hate to see someone fail when they suffered hard to get to their first victory!
I hope to see you help lead your group there are some serious bad ass quiters in August.
I really hope to see you drink the KTC kool-aid and quit not for anyone but for yourself, then you will know the freedom from killing the can!
Trade numbers with as many people in your group as you can they are your life-savers and the shoulders to lean on when you get around your buddies and everyones is walking around with fattys in their mouths!
They are also your accountability!
PM me if you need some numbers til then QUIT LIKE FUCK one day at a time!
Thanks, Griz. This time around, I'm definitely taking you up on it.
I barely participated last time. It'll take a few days, but I want to get acclimated to the boards. I can do better.
dude....you are young and stupid just like I was. I am 44 now and am quit for the rest of my life. Wen I was your age....same shit......I have seen this movie before....when i was your age, I gave it up for 5 years...not quit....just stopped.....then the bitch, cunt or whatever you call that god forsaken evil life sucking devil.....came back...... But you are not quit.You are stopped.....for now.... Get off this site. Go do your thing. And come back when you are ready. "when the student is ready.....the teach will appear."

Thanks for the inspirational advice. If you don't mind, I might just go the other way with it. Thanks, though!

I wanted to keep an update, especially detailing my first weekend without chew in a loooooong time.
I drove into work on Friday, but without my usual chew. I'd throw a fatty in right after leaving my driveway, and take it out as I pulled into the company lot before, but I chewed gum instead.
I had a ton more energy than I usually did as I started my day. My mouth felt cleaner.
The day went on and I had a few big cravings. The biggest one came right after work, as I passed one of the gas stations I'd usually pick a tin up from. I definitely felt weird, and really thought it wouldn't hurt to put a pinch in. I kept going.
After getting home from work, I cracked my first beer of the weekend and fired up the Playstation. This is prime dip time for me, so I had my seeds alongside me as well (Seeds are unbelievable craving-killers, I'm still amazed by them).
Friday night was, admittedly, hard on me. I was drinking and watching The Karate Kid to start the night, and I kept thinking about dip. I grabbed that damn bag of seeds, and went to town on them. Curbed my craving a good deal.
I guess, to summarize, I had a packed weekend, and did a lot of stuff I'd normally do with a tin in my pocket. Without it, I felt cleaner. In fact, yesterday's house cleaning opened my eyes a bit. Usually, when we clean bottles up at the house, I find some beer bottles had been turned to spitters, and pouring them out in the sink was always disgusting. None this week. I also wasn't afraid of opening my car's center console (where the tin was always hiding) in my girlfriend's presence. That alone was a motivator for me.
Here's to a great day of being chew-free.

Nice milestone there, Will. I like to call those "personal victories". There are many, many of them along the way. Be alert, look for them, and savor each one. It makes the battle much more winnable, IMO. Holidays, hunting/fishing trips, kids' birthday parties..... It's a long list.
Well done.

Thanks, Radman! I'm really focusing on the new positives that are coming up, because I know the next few weeks are gonna get shitty.
-Cleaner feeling mouth is #1
-No dip particles clumping up my car
-Absolutely no risk of drinking from my spitter (Good God, I dry-heave at the thought of that)
-One less thing to carry around (I'm a simple man)
-Money not being spent on tins
Thanks again!
Will

Day 6 for me. I had one wild night last night after work, that's for sure.
I felt great during work, nothing bothered me. Nothing could break me. All I needed was a couple handfuls of seeds and a half-pack of gum, and I was on top of the world.
Then I got home from work. Where the fuck did that rage come from?
I was driving to dinner with my roommates and a friend, and we were gearing up to watch the Kings/Coyotes game. One of my roommates always seems to know the right thing to fire me up, and boy, did he do it this time.
He pushed my buttons for a few minutes, like he always does, and all of a sudden, I fucking flipped. I haven't snapped on him since the day I threatened to bury him back in college, but this was a newfound rage. Needless to say, the rest of the drive was pretty quiet.
I calmed down a bit, and ate a shitload of food at the bar. My body was buzzing for a chew, and it must have shown. My friend asked if he was the reason I was so heated, and I told him I hadn't had a chew in 5 days, that I was quitting that shit.
At first, he laughed. He'd never seen me without a tin in my pocket. He had always talked shit to me when I threw one in my lip, but last night, he actually said he was proud of me. PROUD. I'd never heard him say that to me before, mainly because I rarely did anything that could warrant that response, but wow.
We all went back to the house, and watched the rest of the game. The Coyotes got murdered, but I had a great time. Watching hockey without a dip? I used to consider that impossible. Not last night. Not ever again.
Fuck chew and the damage it caused me before. And fuck me for sticking with it so long.

The rage will hopefully start to subside soon!
I know those first few days get so tough and you will have this hair trigger that has always been there but now you just need to put the trigger guard on and keep you sanity and friends, remember they didnt make you start chewing you did!
Great accomplishment of watching the game without a chew I know how many different activities I have had to get past that i would have normally had a a chew and now it doesnt even seem to want to fit!
Good work now keep on keeping on!

Will that brings memories flooding into my mind. Day 6 was my worst day it was rage for me also. I told a verizon store manager to fuck himself! My wife was shocked and embarassed.
It gets better soon. pm me if you need anything. stay strong and stay quit.

'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup'
Okay, so I met WT last week face to face. That definately had to be a nic rage. I could never see him telling a Verizon guy to go fuck himself.
WT your a diamond with so many facets! Wish I could have been there!

Thanks, Griz! And by the way, HUGE congrats for hitting the 100-day mark! Thanks for messaging me day 1 last week, I got a very necessary ass-kicking from the boards, but you also helped in encouraging me. I can't wait to hit the 100-day mark myself, and message you how great it feels. Thanks bro!
WT: HAHAHA! That's too awesome. Screw Verizon, and I would have loved to see that unfold live. I'll definitely keep tabs with you as well. I'm glad to have at least a couple of people to call on when I'm feeling the shit rage inside me!
Also, to anyone in the MN metro: If anyone knows of a couple places I can snag some fake chew, I'd be ever grateful. We're having a little sporting clays tournament amongst friends this weekend, and, while I'm going to stay quit, I know it's gonna be a huge bitch.
I'd like to try a tin today and see how it feels, rather than get a pallet online and end up hating it.

I would tell you to goto the nearest Wal-mart they usually have the fake stuff, I use Smokey Mountain Wintergreen and it really does seem to help!
Quit on Quiter!

Day 11 - Post weekend...
I didn't post on Saturday, and I posted very late last night, but I didn't cave. In fact, I think I got just a little stronger in my fight.
I went out shooting with my friends this weekend, and to me, that always meant stopping and grabbing a couple tins for the day. I was burning through my bbq seeds on the drive there, but I was feeling fine. The friends I met out there, though, had already gotten plenty of chew.
As the day went on, I didn't feel all that bad. No cravings that my bag o' seeds couldn't satisfy. No sweat.
These guys knew I quit. I laid it out for them that I was no longer chewing, and I hoped they'd understand. Then one friend offered me one. The lid was off the tin and everything, all I had to do was grab a pinch.
NOPE!
I politely declined, and instead threw a crapload of seeds in my mouth. That was hard as fuck to do, but I'm glad I turned it down. Boom!
I posted Day 11 last night in the pre-HOF thread for August, but I realized this morning that I can't do math for shit late at night. Today is my day 11, and I couldn't be happier that I got through this weekend without that nasty habit I'd developed over the years! Fuck you chew!

Good stuff!
I have some friends that have never really embraced the fact that I am quit, probably cause they have been down this road with me before and I had failed in the past!
Great job getting past a first stressful hurdle!
Get some fake stuff to help get past those times like you described, the seeds help greatly but the extra amount of salt is going to give you some sore in your mouth, FYI!
Great job and keep up the good work!

So I should just leave then? If I miss a day, am I banished from posting?

Great job getting past a first stressful hurdle!
Get some fake stuff to help get past those times like you described, the seeds help greatly but the extra amount of salt is going to give you some sore in your mouth, FYI!
Great job and keep up the good work!
Thanks, Griz. I've been pounding water down a ton, but I haven't seen too much damage in my lips from it. The Giants BBQ seeds are hot as shit, though. It's got a serious zing.

Well well well...willmichaelson. I remember you from July 2010. Appears you didn't ever pop back in and announce your return. Funny how that works. You serious about this, come home to July 2010 and give us your story. Then start posting everyday with us and make it to the hof finally. What say you, cuz?

Day 11 - Post weekend...
I didn't post on Saturday, and I posted very late last night, but I didn't cave. In fact, I think I got just a little stronger in my fight.
I went out shooting with my friends this weekend, and to me, that always meant stopping and grabbing a couple tins for the day. I was burning through my bbq seeds on the drive there, but I was feeling fine. The friends I met out there, though, had already gotten plenty of chew.
As the day went on, I didn't feel all that bad. No cravings that my bag o' seeds couldn't satisfy. No sweat.
These guys knew I quit. I laid it out for them that I was no longer chewing, and I hoped they'd understand. Then one friend offered me one. The lid was off the tin and everything, all I had to do was grab a pinch.
NOPE!
I politely declined, and instead threw a crapload of seeds in my mouth. That was hard as fuck to do, but I'm glad I turned it down. Boom!
I posted Day 11 last night in the pre-HOF thread for August, but I realized this morning that I can't do math for shit late at night. Today is my day 11, and I couldn't be happier that I got through this weekend without that nasty habit I'd developed over the years! Fuck you chew!
Good stuff!

1) Post roll call everyday. No excuses. Call or text a buddy if you can't do it yourself. No excuses.
2) Did your friend know you are quit and offered anyway? If so, you should've slapped that open can back into his face. Maybe kick 'em in the nuts too. Then nobody will offer you chew again.
3) This isn't a fucking habit, it is an addiction. Understanding this is critical - you are a drug addict!
4) Congrats on staying quit through a tough trial!

1. I should have done that, but didn't, plain and simple. I don't have an excuse other than I just got caught up in shit this weekend and went brain-dead on posting.
2. As much as I did, he has always been the type of guy to enable people. I knew this going into the day with him, but he knocked it off after I denied it. He knows not to push the envelope with me.
3. I goofed on that, and you are correct sir. Addiction, NOT habit.
4.Thanks a ton!

Post with your new group and come home and post with us. Double the accountability never hurts. I'll pm you later with my digits.

Sounds good! I just posted my story on July 2010. I'll post both places.
Thanks Instigator for this.

We all know what you CAN do.
It's what you ARE doing that is concerning.
Look man. You come across as a nice kid. You're polite, and you're not fighting against the shit thrown at you (too much).
However, you just don't get it.
You fucking "posted roll" only in 2010 and caved within 2 months. You've waltzed back in here, and within the first couple weeks of stopping you have missed a roll and posted late. I do not see a plan here even though you were asked for one, and I really don't see a good enough answer to the three questions asked of all returning members (What happened? Why did it happen? What are you doing differently this time?).
You really need to wake the fuck up and own this quit because we can't do it for you. Quitting is your top priority from this moment on. No fucking excuses.
How many numbers you got?
What is your last line of defense when the nic bitch comes calling here again and this initial quit adrenaline has run out? It's easy to stop now, but it's harder to always remember.
Addict.

Thanks, Waste. I don't want to hurt a group by being lazy, and it essentially falls on me and only me. I didn't post on Saturday, and I let the thread know that last night, simply because I went brain dead on posting.
I have been lucky enough to receive #s from Grizzly25, Wt57 and SABRESTRIKE99. I haven't 'had' to use them yet, but I like knowing I have them in my phone to text when possible.
Maybe I'm going at it the wrong way, but I can't keep backtracking, because all that does is make people angry and I don't want to keep apologizing. The easy answer from you could very well be 'Then stop fucking being an idiot'. The thing is, I AM an idiot about this. I'm still in the dark about a quit plan, I asked about best tips for building a quit plan, and have gotten a couple tips that I use (post roll, get numbers, keep a log of your quit,etc.)
Last line of defense are these numbers. When I'm shaking and driving to the gas station, these numbers WILL be called/texted.
I have had cravings, I'm not having a perfect quit. I have been really fucking moody and have flamed all of my roommates during this time, but I have handled my usual triggers well, at least in the start. I haven't cracked at the gas station, which I visit often to pick up seeds/coffee/gas; I have played video games at length without worrying about when my next chew goes in; I turned down a chew that may as well have been put on a pedestal from my longtime friend.
You may be saying, 'big fuckin' deal, you're still in the early stages of quit.'
Early or not, like everyone on these threads have said, it's one day at a time, and as for the past 11 days, it's been good. Today has been good.
If my not posting Saturday is grounds for suspension of my account (and if my posting is annoying to you all, at the very least), let me know. I value your input here, but i don't want to jeopardize anyone's quit for the sake of me posting.
This is not me being nice. This is me being frustrated with myself and with the process.

I hear what your saying and you are still in those shitty sucky early days but make it a point to post roll or contact someone to post for you!
The accountability factor is one of the best parts of this site!!
Wake up, Post roll or text your promise to a quit bro, stay quit that day!
Sounds simple ...... this is the fight of and for your life so follow the program and make it work for you!
PM me if you need anything, text me if you need roll posted...

Listen, man.
11 days if fucking awesome. Do not get me wrong. I just want to see you succeed.
First off, a nice quit plan is (as follows):
Post roll.
Keep your word.
Repeat.
It's that simple, but sometimes it's not easy.
Anybody can post roll. It takes a fucking badass to keep his word.
I'm not asking you to backtrack. In my quit, I live by a credence that you learn from the past, quit for today, and fuck the future. All you have to do is make it through today, as do I. I know you can do it because I did.
I'm going to pm you my number. Fucking use it. Even when you're not craving. Use those other numbers even when you don't need them. Just text to say hi. Tell your brothers that you are proud of them. Tell us when you are struggling. The more you put into this the more skin you have in the game, and the harder it is to disappear from the site again
Surely one of us can take a few moments out of our lives to help you. You may not know it, but you have a wealth of knowledge you can bestow on these new quitters. You've been there, and you've fallen. You can tell them why you fell, and make sure they don't fall into the same traps. You kind of know what to expect with this.
We respect anybody here that quits. However, retreads like yourself and myself are held to a higher standard. We were handed the keys to freedom, and we fucking blew it.
Never again. For any reason.
Period.

Listen to both these guys will...they are pre-law!

You guys are rad, and you don't even need to be doing this. I am seriously grateful.
I expected to get curb-stomped for my not posting Saturday, and instead, I got a flood of support. I don't deserve this shit from you guys.
Even the guys in July 2010 thread have blown me away.
Without being a sappy bitch, this community is fucking awesome, and I'd be honored to take your #s down and use them, if you'd allow it.

Don't get too girly...you will post in both groups every day without exception or you will be hunted down. You can't post? Text a buddy. Capice?
And I mean it. Ask around.

I didn't post on Saturday, and I posted very late last night, but I didn't cave.
You still don't get it.
So I should just leave then? If I miss a day, am I banished from posting?
No. You simply need to quit fucking around. Less than two weeks into this, and you're already skipping days?
Roll call is non-negotiable. You have no excuse. A failure to post every morning when you wake up is a statement to your quit brothers that you are above them, above this site, above the quit.
So do us a favor: Don't miss another morning. Get to the HOF with these guys according to a formula we know works - the KTC formula. If you can't do that, go to Lite. There is too much hardcore quitting going on in here to have your lazy ass mucking it up.

I didn't post on Saturday, and I posted very late last night, but I didn't cave.

Will,
Here is my two sense. First if you want to see a pattern of who is the most likely to cave, look at the spreadsheet. With every rule or law, you will find some exceptions.
However, the vast majority of those that miss posting roll and don't make it a priority are the ones that cave and fade away from the site all together. So by not posting, your quit statistics for caving go off the charts.
The next thing is you can not bull shit an addict. Addicts always can make an excuse. Posting roll? It isn't a new technology that requires implementing steps and procedures to do. It is simple. You just do it daily. Make it your morning routine like brushing your teeth.
The reason why I call bullshit on that is because, addicts are some of the most creative people when they need to be. If you ever ran out of chew, no matter the obstacle, I am sure you got your fix.
So no matter the obstacle, I am sure you can figure out how to post roll. If you are implementing steps, here is mine you can use as a blueprint.
Wake up, Post roll.
I haven't missed a day posting and I am also quit. Coincidence? No. Posting roll is a shield to protect you from the day's cravings.

I had my first dip dream last night, but it didn't last long.
I was in my bathroom, just getting ready for the day. I had the mirror put to the side, and when I put it back, I saw a massive dip in my scoop.
I woke up with a jolt, and remember feeling like I'd done something illegal. I was fuckin' terrified. Whew.
Also, I have a little issue going on. I've been fairly easy to get along with since I quit, except for one person. I've been zeroing in on one of my roommates, a guy who has always managed to get me heated.
I'm usually pretty aggressive in my words when I speak to him, but yesterday he said some measly comment to me, and I turned to him and threatened to rip his spine out and beat him with it. Can someone please tell me this anger will pass? It's really only to him, I've been good with everyone else.

I know the feeling. Irritating people seem more so after the quit. This is part of your brain need to retrain how to deal with assholes without drugs. Best advise I can give is breathe deep count to ten and come in here and vent. He may be an idiot and maybe he's always been like that, but why should he suffer because of your choices. Always vent here not on other people, especially someone you have to live with. That could be a recipe for disaster.
Side note: Dip dreams suck, mainly cause you wake up feeling guilty and I hate that crap.
Stay strong, cause we don't have a bail fund.

Yeah, it's been an interesting few days there. I'll try the deep breaths and counting to ten.
By the way, what's the proper way to vent on here? I'd like to unleash some fire on here to turn it away from the house. Should I keep it in this log?

You can keep it here in this log or even the live chat or in your group page!
Your quit bro's are there for you!
You have definetly made a quit believer out of me and I appreciate the updates every morning!
As far as wanting to rip that guys spine out and beat him with it..... I would say it could possibly be somewhat deserved but the best way is to take some deep breathes and realize he isnt worth the effort of getting bent.
Anyway keep on keeping on and Quit Like Fuck today!

Thanks, Griz. Glad to have a quit bro to text and keep me in line.
I totally get you on not letting it get to me. I'm going to make a personal note on how I feel right now, because I don't wanna feel it again.
I typically have a short fuse anyway, but it was a new degree of rage for me, with nicotine or not. Of course it was an empty threat, but I know I freaked him out. I texted him about it and he seems fine.
I really can't wait for the workday to end so I can exercise and get myself tired.

I hear ya and can completely relate!
I have always had a short fuse and well most times my bark is worse than my bite.... at the beginning of this I did great everytime someone pissed me off I just figured they werent worth the trouble then it got to the point where it was either I beat the hell outta someone or ........
Like you I decided to kick my own ass and that also seems to help and even now it helps, so I will say keep up the good work and all the victories you win by either not going off on someone and staying quit or just the clear thought that comes from life without nicotene, we can all share!
The holiday weekend is upon us so dont be complacent I will be around and always have my phone on the weekends, if you need anything let me know!
Later bro

Day 25 - Went shooting again yesterday, with two bags of delicious Frito-Lay seeds. Got better at shooting with both eyes open, I had a hell of a time out there, and not a chew was ingested. None of my shooting buddies chewed either! Hopefully I can get them to quit with me.
On the way back home, I grabbed a few tins of that Smokey Mountain snuff.
I'm taking a road trip in the next week, and I thought I'd see what all the fuss was about with the herbal snuff.
Meh, it's kinda close to actual chew to me, and I don't know if I even want to use them. I like my seeds, but that stuff hit too close to home for me. Has anyone else tried the herbal snuff?

I tried the herbal snuff (Smokey Mountain Wintergreen) which is weird cause I dipped Copenhagen when I dipped. Anyways I tried it, I am with you, too close to the real stuff. I was scared it would lead to the real stuff so I hit the gum and seeds myself.

First things first - great fucking job on the 25 and this weekend. I love to see quit momentum. That goes for you too BM.
Fake use is an ongoing debate. I started it around day 30 and had a lot of the same trepidation you did. I still use it some - to quell a craving situation when i need it. I make sure I have it around when I golf, go out with the buds, etc.....I personally wish it didn't come in a can, but remember, it is not nicotine. That is what is important. In fact, stick WHATEVER in your ugly mug as long as it is not nicotine. At 25 days, you need to concentrate on identifying craves and squishing the fuck out of them before they morph into a cave. How? You know the answer:
Post Roll First Thing Every Day
Keep your Promise
Interact with your group daily. Become Accountable.
Rinse and Repeat the next day.
You don't have to use fake (I like gently worn thong panties myself) but don't worry about it if you do. At some point you will stop using it and not even notice.

Good point. I think it looks a lot like regular chew, but if it's not hurting me with nicotine, I guess I can have it for serious cravings.
I'm doing my thing here, and I know what I need to do to stay accountable. I gotta stay the course. Thanks!

Day 25 - Went shooting again yesterday, with two bags of delicious Frito-Lay seeds. Got better at shooting with both eyes open, I had a hell of a time out there, and not a chew was ingested. None of my shooting buddies chewed either! Hopefully I can get them to quit with me.
On the way back home, I grabbed a few tins of that Smokey Mountain snuff.
I'm taking a road trip in the next week, and I thought I'd see what all the fuss was about with the herbal snuff.
Meh, it's kinda close to actual chew to me, and I don't know if I even want to use them. I like my seeds, but that stuff hit too close to home for me. Has anyone else tried the herbal snuff?
I tried the herbal snuff (Smokey Mountain Wintergreen) which is weird cause I dipped Copenhagen when I dipped. Anyways I tried it, I am with you, too close to the real stuff. I was scared it would lead to the real stuff so I hit the gum and seeds myself.
First things first - great fucking job on the 25 and this weekend. I love to see quit momentum. That goes for you too BM.
Fake use is an ongoing debate. I started it around day 30 and had a lot of the same trepidation you did. I still use it some - to quell a craving situation when i need it. I make sure I have it around when I golf, go out with the buds, etc.....I personally wish it didn't come in a can, but remember, it is not nicotine. That is what is important. In fact, stick WHATEVER in your ugly mug as long as it is not nicotine. At 25 days, you need to concentrate on identifying craves and squishing the fuck out of them before they morph into a cave. How? You know the answer:
Post Roll First Thing Every Day
Keep your Promise
Interact with your group daily. Become Accountable.
Rinse and Repeat the next day.
You don't have to use fake (I like gently worn thong panties myself) but don't worry about it if you do. At some point you will stop using it and not even notice.
Vadge Day 143
Good point. I think it looks a lot like regular chew, but if it's not hurting me with nicotine, I guess I can have it for serious cravings.
I'm doing my thing here, and I know what I need to do to stay accountable. I gotta stay the course. Thanks!
I can't lie the fake stuff has helped me on many occasions so I say do it if it helps you!!
Quit on Quiter!
Day 3, Useing the herbal stuff is helping me a great deal, I am useing Smokey Mountain.

Day 3, Useing the herbal stuff is helping me a great deal, I am useing Smokey Mountain.
I used the herbal until December (roughly 170 days or so).
It gave me strength sometimes when I put myself in situations that were not condusive to my quit (drinking, golfing, working, etc.). It also was God sent when I had massive cravings early on.
However, the day I put it down was not hard.
I simply didn't use it. No craves...nothing like quitting the real stuff. It was a semi-sore jaw looking for some sort of placebo. I easily supplemented with seeds and gum and I have not regretted it since.
I do keep some cans around though, and actually had to go buy a can the other day. The ones I had were opened so they dried up, and I was going on a road trip with some buddies last weekend. Just knowing I was going set off my alarms so I wanted to make sure I was prepared. I felt dirty buying it, and I put it in my car.
Never opened it, and never needed it.
It turns out I was strong enough without it (surprise?), and I can chalk it up to acknowledging the devil before he convinces me he doesn't exist.
Use it to quit, but don't fret its usage. Be strong and have faith in yourself. You can do this shit. It's just another bullet in your arsenal that you have to pull the trigger on in battle.

Thanks, Waste. I'm with ya, this stuff will likely be a great help when I do have to take a road trip or go golfing, like you said.
