Title: Killing One Addicition and Beginning a New One
Post by: Temptation's Wings on September 24, 2012, 08:21:00 AM
Day 1 - For 9 years, my day has started off with a dip. Its my coffee, my caffine. Not this morning. No dip aywhere in site to temp me. I made it through the hour drive to work with no snuff, and its not getting any easier. This is gonna be tough but I have to do this! Im tired of the worrying, its not worth it. Thanks for the support guys, this site gives me strength and determination!

Good question, I'm sure a group page will get started soon. Your word is good, that's what this is all about. It does suck, but believe me when I say this, post roll everyday, stick to your word and it gets better....much better. Still sucks at times for me, but you have to come here and read when it does, it helps make you stronger. You have made a great decision that will make a huge difference in your life...I quit with you today.

Keep strong man. If you get past that first day you will start to believe that you are a quitter.

Embrace the suck brother. It get's easier. For the 32 years this shit had hold of me the dirve to work and back was something that I associated with a fat dip, plain and simple. Now after 116 days free I don't even think about it. My life is no longer ruled by when I can sneak away for a dip. Hang in there, you will be glad you did !!!

This site will do more then that man, stay with us, post roll EVERYDAY and don't forget what brought you here. Reach out and exchange numbers, if you want mine, just PM me. Posting roll is giving your word EVERYDAY, that you will not use nic that day.

I saw your already posted, great freakin job. Your post said "this is going to suck", fuck yea it is, but embrace the suck, it'll make you stronger. The fog will be thick at first and the craving are the hardest, but it only lasts 3 days (give or take a day), now go get your ass the tools to win. Water, seeds, gum, cranberry juice, hard candy and some use "fake shit". Whatever it takes not to put any nic in your mouth man. 309 days later, I feel stronger everyday, you can be here too, just take it one day at a time, and post roll EVERYDAY.

Hey guys,
any of you guys use the fake shit? if so, is there any particular brand you have found to be best? I use Bacc Off occasionally but wonder if any of the other stuff is better? thanks. Day 1 is half way over, and ive only chewed like 15 pieces of gum, lol.

I use Smokey Mountain Classic, Wintergreen and Natural. So far it has made a huge difference in how I feel but I know I will have to get rid of it in the future. This is all that's available around me so it's all I know

Smokey mountain seems to be the most popular, I think because its the most available. Walmart sells it, but be careful its mixed with the real shit. I preferred hooch personally, you can order some takes about 4 days to get there, so the smokey mountain can hold you over. Also heard good things about Jakes Mint

by mixed Bruce means it is located with the real shit, not actually tobacco mixed with Smokey mtn.

I find that placing a rabid honey badger covered in tabasco sauce and thumb tacks down the front of my tennis shorts to be an excellent diversion. It's less retarded than actually dipping and from what I can tell chicks are attracted to all the screaming and blood............ Errrr no, thats sharks, better stick with the fake.

You might want to also try sunflower seeds (the kind in the shell.) I know it sounds crazy, but I'm on Day 43 now, and after trying fake stuff (Hooch and Smokey Mountain) I switched to seeds. To me, the fake stuff was so much like the real stuff that it was actually giving me cravings. I like the seeds because it calms the 'oral fixation' part of not chewing. My mind knows that it doesn't need nicotene, but it's still not totally convinced that something 'needs' to be in my inner lip like doing things like playing Playstation, having a few beers, watching college football, etc.

No matter what you do, do whatever you need to do in order to STAY QUIT!! In a few weeks you will definitely say that it is worth it.

Thansk for the info guys. I have tried the Smokey Mountain before and I just cann't do it. I think im gonna just try to stick with seeds, that way the fake shit wont be tempting me to cave. BTW, Skoal Monster, I loved the example you provided below. Give it a few more days and Im sure i'll feel like doing just that! HAve a good one guys, thanks, and one day at a time!

Ive also found that if i continue to drink water like a fucking camel, it seems to help some fo the cravings. Its only day 2 but the water, toothpicks, seeds and gum seem to keep me somewhat at bay...for now.

Drinking water does help, as does Cranberry juice. keep up the good quit, one day at a time

This should answer your question. (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=6349)

BTW, welcome to the suck. Use this thread to ask anything you like. Give us a short intro here, and use this thread as your own little ranting space, if you want.

Attaboy my Brudda! Congratulations on the 3 days you should be proud that is one hell of an accomplishment. As for the seeds you have my permission to eat as many seeds, gum, lifesavers, and pussy as you want. Last I heard they are all nicotene free.

Choose one intro and then keep coming back to it as a kinda quit journal that you update as often as you wish. That way you have all your comments and questions together in one place. Your quit is on tract and don't worry about anything but staying nicotine free today for now! That is a tall order to fill!

You'll find that eventually you won't need seeds anymore. I thought I would need to eat them forever, but the need eventually passed. Don't worry about this new addiction because it is a hell of a lot better than putting that cancer shit in your mouth ever again.

Look at my 'signature', the last line is Coach Steve's hof speech. He's the one that coined QLF, read it, in my opinion the best HoF speech

Well, bear with me here, i Just need to make a damn list to help distract me from a bad bad day...

-Why am I worrying about cutting the grass this afternoon for the first time without a dip in????.....Does dip make it so that I dont have to cut the grass at allNO, it still has to be done, tobacco or not...Does dip make it any more enjoyableNO, i may think it does but now that I think about it, I hated cutting grass when I had a dip in. What could possibly be enjoyable about having shit in my mouth that makes my jaw hurt and will kill me???

-Does dip really relax me and make me less stressful....Hell no!! Looking back on it, dip made me the most stressful person because I was constantly worrying about every bump and scratch and thinking it was cancer. What I thought was helping rid myself of stress was one of the biggest causes of stress!

well, i thought my list would be longer but the fog is killing me today. Thanks for listening to my rant and giving me a place to do so! 'bang head'

Keep drinking the kool aid quitter. The truth is a beautiful thing but it's hard to handle sometimes. Never stop reminding yourself why your life is better without dip. I still look around my car almost every day and enjoy how clean it is. I surely don't miss the spitters rolling around on the floor boards and dried dip caked on everything. Be proud of mowing the lawn without a dip. It's a small victory...not a burden.

Quit Like Fuck.

Things I can now do without a chew in my mouth.

1. Play poker and win.
2. Golf
3. Hunt and fish.
4. Watch sports.
5. Mow the lawn.
6. Talk without mumbling.
7. Smile without yellow teeth.
8. Drive
9. Fix things around the house.
10. Relax after dinner.

Life is sooooo much better now. Freedom is the key to unlock your real life. Live free today.

Well, I cut the grass yesterday without a dip in and you know what....it wasnt that bad!!! Maybe it was because I was playing beat the clock against mother nature and trying to get done before the bottom dropped out of the sky, but it really wasnt that bad.....And this a.m., not too bad either. Thanks for the help guys, stay quit! 'Sno'

I just want to put this out there. I'm no longer going to smoke cigarettes either. I would puff maybe 5 packs a year. I just need to get it in writing. Also, my wife is in on it, too. It was like a little crutch when I couldn't find a dip.

Congrats on the lawn mowing. That was a biggie for me, too. Also, poker and fishing and shooting guns and driving and flying and sports.

Fuck the bear and the camel. They can go fuck each other and make a freak baby that no one wants.

Keep the quit strong...think about it...what good would buying a can and throwing one in do??? NOT A BIT OF GOOD!!

Nothing good ever came of it before, why would that change now? This is the addict mind at work...it's weak...and the Nic Bitch knows it...SHE is the one trying to convince you to go down there...

KICK HER IN THE CUNT AND UPPER-CUT THE WHORE....SAY NO!!

Slamming your junk in a drawer would certainly get your mind off the crave...I think I am going to look for another method Dozer 'finger point'

Try push ups. Get pissed and see how many you can crank out.
