Greetings all you quitters... until about 3 days ago you and I were opposites. You were staying strong and off the dip... i was weak and poisoned with Skoal running through my blood. Those days are over, now we have much more in common. Like you, i am now quit!! And, even though its early in my fight--i am damn determined to stay quit.
I had been a Skoal victim for about 12 years... started in college (soph. year, first semester, finals week) because, well, no real reason. I lived in a fraternity and most guys either smoked or chewed. I did a little of both for a long time. Eventually kicked the cigs and married Skoal. That faithful and expensive bitch is done.
For the last 12 years I have used a lot of excuses to keep dipping. I'm too busy to quit... life is too stressful with a wife and 3 kids... business is too stressful. Gimmie a break. The excuses, I own all of them. Golfing, I was chewin my ass off. Watching football, dippin. Showering, yep-fatty installed in the lip. Workin (if not meeting with clients)--dippin like it's my job. The list goes on. It got stupid and out of control. I was up to about 1 1/2 cans per day before I kicked Skoal to the curb. I don't wanna go back... and, on Dec 31st, 2008 I tossed it for good.
Cooincidence would have it that also on 12/31/08 I was surfing the internet and found this site. And, I am pretty damn thankful that I did!! The last 3 days have been torture. I'm a foggy mess and feel completely baked. It is a very weird feeling that I do not recall because I have never quit or even tried to quit before. This is my first time. This site is huge... i log in several times throuhout the day and read posts, etc. I have alwasy been able to find useful and timely info.
Funny... i have only been a member for 3 days. Yet, it feels like an eternity.
Well, now you have a little history about me... thanks for reading. You will see me around. I'm a determined SOB that is ready to kick this habit for good. Thanks in advance for the numerous times you help me. Thank you to the creators (iuchewie, etc.) of this site for helping save my life. Ready, JustQuit, Hydro and the folks that helped me pull the trigger when i did-----thank you!!
You'll see me every morning... in roll call!! Until then....................

I can completely relate to this sentiment. My habit had snow balled just as bad and I was chewing just as much or more. I like your determination. It helps to elevate my desire for quit.

Thanks raymwii...
For the record, I am on day 5 now and it completely sucks!! I've been having cravings since my eyes opened this morning.

Hang in there Wildcat. Quitting is worth all the pain. You can do this. Enjoy the Suck
-
KDip, thanks!! I'm trying. I'm going to make, it just blows bigtime. I lost about 70 lbs 5 years ago and have kept it off. At the time, I thought that was the hardest thing I had ever done. Now, I have found something harder--quitting.
Everytime I start freaking out or craving, I come here... I always find something good and helpful.
What is interesting is that today I took my son to the dentist... he had to get a filling. While he was sitting in the chair, I had an unpleasent vision of me being in that chair getting my face sliced open because of oral cancer or something.
Not going back to the can... at least today I'm not. One day at a time.

Hi everyone. Today i decided to quit dipping after 12 or so years. It pretty much controlled my life. I was like everyone else. I would dip doing different things. Like when watching tv, mud bogging, driving,and at work.
Now is the best time for a change in my life. Before my habit had gotten worse. I thank everyone who made this site possible.
-
Now is the best time for a change in my life. Before my habit had gotten worse.
Today will be better than yesterday Mud. Every day without that crap in your grill is a good day. It won't be easy, but if you use the tools and people on this site; you will be successful.
ping me if you need any help.
Take care

Day 6... not too shabby. Been a little too busy to think about Skoal, but that crazy bitch is still in the back of my mind. Stayin strong, because I can!!
-
Wow, last time i posted on this was day 6. Lots has changed since then. I am now on day 45 and kickin ass. Except for some bad dreams (non-dip related), I'm doin fine.
Grateful each day for having found this site!! Thanks to all of the FOQers as well as the rest of you friggin quitters for helping a brotha out.

Pissed at the world on day 48... I guess this is normal. Everyone says it will get better. Can't wait for that day...... Not having a very good time.

Wildcat--what has helped me is getting rid of a few obligations that were a trigger for me to chew. I am self-emplyed with 6 employees and I just started letting the small shit go so it doesn't drive me nuts. Business is flowing nicely since I quit but I still have some triggers and bull shit but it isn't as bad. Bottom line, get rid of that person or situation that annoys you and it will be a little easier.

Wildcat-
48 days is a great start to your quit and nothing to sneeze at. As corny as this sounds, sit back and reflect on how your life has changed for the better in those 48 days. You should be seeing/feeling numerous changes in your life that are a direct result of finding the stones to quit. Good job keep your quit rolling.
That being said, your entitled to shitty moments/days. Try not to get stuck in a rut and again focus on the good.

Thanks Gooch Niwot... I apprecaite ur comments. I'm fightin. Day 49 and excited about tomorrow.

Day 52.............. this sucks. I'm still quit and wil remain quit. But, this is not fun in any way. People say the funk comes and goes. I'm pretty sure I have had it for the past 52 days. I can't remember a day when I woke up feeling good and stayed that way all day long. I can't tell if it is because I am no longer using tobacco--but, I hope that is what it is and I hope it will get better.
-
Push on through it, brother! I still have mini-craves after dinner and during the work day. I'm still chewing Wrigley's like a madman throughout the day....and today's day 137 for me. But, I know that at least for today I will get through anything and stay quit. Seriously, you can too. What did mankind do before we discovered tobacco? We got through each day fine without it. If it's really bad, I think about that. If it gets worse than really bad, I pull out my Contract to Give Up (http://www.killthecan.org/facts/contract.asp). If it gets even worse than that, I text someone or get my ass up on chat. All the while, chewing gum like a fiend. Better that than death turd!

Wild--I'm with you man! I am so unmotivated it sucks! Dip dreams last 2 nights and even an old girlfriend showed up in the dream and wanted me to compensate her for emotiomal damages from our relationship LOL. I was convinced I had caved and stood in the C store with this old cowboy who dipped Cope and Said "well I made it to 50 days maybe I can chew a while and then quit again" Soo fucking glad to wake up and know I had not caved!!! I think all this shit is making us stronger but that doesn't help while we are goint thru it. Stay strong man, I am counting on you!!!!

Fuck me to tears... that is the first time I read this "contract", but holy shit. Think about the implications.
Its what we do... its what we think... only our translators are busted when we are active in the nicotene addiction... so we don't really see all the words between the lines.
Copefiend... that was powerful, and I know we talked about it before, but this was my first read. Thanks for posting.

Hey, Wildcat.... this is your brain Wildcat. Just wanted you to know that today you are on day 59. You did a whole lot of bitching when you were around day 50. Actually, you have been bitching ever since you quit on 1/1/09. But, as your brain, I feel that I should let you know that you are in a good mood today. Good job, you friggin skirt :ph43r:

Ahhh, day 71 and the "endless funk" seems to be lifting. Couldn't sleep so I got up and was in the gym errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrly this morning. Now I'm sore as hell but am still quit!!!! :ph43r:

Congrats on day 71 - you're doing awesome! Keep up the great work!
Stay strong and stay quit.

I've been hitting the gym 5-6 days a week since I quit. Every day after I start driving home one of my biggest craves starts up. I expected this crave to get a little better by now, but it's still brutal. Are you still experiencing the "after gym" dip crave at 70+ days?

Sometimes bro, but not very often... i am on day 86 now and the craves really only hit me really hard after meals. Those are tough. Up until 86 days ago, I put in a dip after every meal for the past 12 years of my life. So that was a huge adjustment for me. The craves will pass...... i'm not gonna lie though, it will suck for awhile. Stay strong, stay quit!! :ph43r:

Day 95... craving like crazy and pissy as hell. WTF 'bang head' . i just want to get over this completely and not think about dipping. does that ever happen???

Smokeyg - day 321
Not yet...but, nicotine never controls my mood anymore. I do think about it at times. I do still fantasize about how awesome "just one" would be every now and then. However, every day quit for me adds to the fact that I will never give in to my addiction. I'm ready for a life-long battle that gets a little bit easier day to day.
Get through today Wildcat. Or just get through this hour. It will get better.
-
Felt like I needed to come in here on a good day so that everyone didn't think I was permanently "debbie downer". Day 96 and life is good today!! One day at a time, right? Yesterday sucked but ole smoke-stack and a few others helped me pull it together. Friday is a big day--HOF for Wildcat!!! Can't believe I quit, finally. Damn, I'm special. Not like "special fred" special... like, I'm really good at this whole quitting thing, special.

Day 115 sucks ass... I have been craving literally since I woke up. I posted roll first thing this morning (like I always do), otherwise who knows. I don't like feeling the way I do today and I have triggers everywhere I turn. The weather is nice here and I'm just thinking that this time last year I would have been packing the biggest fatty known to man right about know. I guess I have fallen victim to the "funk" today. 'bang head'

You have not fallen victim to the funk. You are owning the funk.
Now put your diaper on and pluck that bass.

Another day of 'funk' 'bang head' 'bang head' 'bang head' 'bang head' 'bang head'
I have no motivation to do anything..............

Been reading a lot of stuff on the site the past few days... lots of folks out there that have some "funk" issues. Maybe I shouldn't be so selfish with it? Maybe I should let others have the funk for awhile.

Please define CRAVE vs FUNK
Is Funk, like a cloud that just doesnt seem to go away for a long period of time, causing periods of deep depression and low motivation vs a crave that's a short burst of desiring to dip?
I seem to have a couple of craves here and there, followed by a "fuck you I don't dip anymore" and then I go on to the rest of my misery which is not quit enabled.
Am I gettin it right, Cat? :blink:

Four major things in a quit:
Fog - the hazy can't see, can't think, can't move, this is the suck.
Craves - wanting to paste a big lump of shit in your lip, mmm, can't do anything without that nic bitch.
Funk - I'm fucking quit, I'm fucking pissed, you're in my way, fuck off!
Don't-give-a-shits - I'm not chewing, I'm not pissed, I'm not craving, I'm not doing shit and I don't care.
I'm sure I missed some.

I would add Dip rage- it was always my reason to cave...I'm a nicer guy when I dip- if I quit people won't like me! 'crackup'

These can also occur in groups! Watch for the bitch (nic) to mount attacks on multiple fronts.
Ex.:

Funky Shits - I'm pissed and I don't fucking care about you and what you fucking want!

Man, you guys are going to psychoanalyze yourselves into homosexuality.
Every quitter questions his sexuality around days 123-129. Send me a Personal Message and I'll give you my number as means of support. And I'll send you some pictures as a means of experimentation.

Greetings all you quitters... until about 3 days ago you and I were opposites. You were staying strong and off the dip... i was weak and poisoned with Skoal running through my blood. Those days are over, now we have much more in common. Like you, i am now quit!! And, even though its early in my fight--i am damn determined to stay quit.
I had been a Skoal victim for about 12 years... started in college (soph. year, first semester, finals week) because, well, no real reason. I lived in a fraternity and most guys either smoked or chewed. I did a little of both for a long time. Eventually kicked the cigs and married Skoal. That faithful and expensive bitch is done.
For the last 12 years I have used a lot of excuses to keep dipping. I'm too busy to quit... life is too stressful with a wife and 3 kids... business is too stressful. Gimmie a break. The excuses, I own all of them. Golfing, I was chewin my ass off. Watching football, dippin. Showering, yep-fatty installed in the lip. Workin (if not meeting with clients)--dippin like it's my job. The list goes on. It got stupid and out of control. I was up to about 1 1/2 cans per day before I kicked Skoal to the curb. I don't wanna go back... and, on Dec 31st, 2008 I tossed it for good.
Cooincidence would have it that also on 12/31/08 I was surfing the internet and found this site. And, I am pretty damn thankful that I did!! The last 3 days have been torture. I'm a foggy mess and feel completely baked. It is a very weird feeling that I do not recall because I have never quit or even tried to quit before. This is my first time. This site is huge... i log in several times throuhout the day and read posts, etc. I have alwasy been able to find useful and timely info.
Funny... i have only been a member for 3 days. Yet, it feels like an eternity.
Well, now you have a little history about me... thanks for reading. You will see me around. I'm a determined SOB that is ready to kick this habit for good. Thanks in advance for the numerous times you help me. Thank you to the creators (iuchewie, etc.) of this site for helping save my life. Ready, JustQuit, Hydro and the folks that helped me pull the trigger when i did-----thank you!!
You'll see me every morning... in roll call!! Until then....................

For the last 12 years I have used a lot of excuses to keep dipping. I'm too busy to quit... life is too stressful with a wife and 3 kids... business is too stressful. Gimmie a break. The excuses, I own all of them. Golfing, I was chewin my ass off. Watching football, dippin. Showering, yep-fatty installed in the lip. Workin (if not meeting with clients)--dippin like it's my job. The list goes on. It got stupid and out of control. I was up to about 1 1/2 cans per day before I kicked Skoal to the curb. I don't wanna go back... and, on Dec 31st, 2008 I tossed it for good.
Cooincidence would have it that also on 12/31/08 I was surfing the internet and found this site. And, I am pretty damn thankful that I did!! The last 3 days have been torture. I'm a foggy mess and feel completely baked. It is a very weird feeling that I do not recall because I have never quit or even tried to quit before. This is my first time. This site is huge... i log in several times throuhout the day and read posts, etc. I have alwasy been able to find useful and timely info.Â
Funny... i have only been a member for 3 days. Yet, it feels like an eternity.
Well, now you have a little history about me... thanks for reading. You will see me around. I'm a determined SOB that is ready to kick this habit for good. Thanks in advance for the numerous times you help me. Thank you to the creators (iuchewie, etc.) of this site for helping save my life. Ready, JustQuit, Hydro and the folks that helped me pull the trigger when i did-----thank you!!
You'll see me every morning... in roll call!! Until then....................
bom chica waa waa!!

You are one of the best example of what this site is about.
You spent so much time here splaining in detail what you were / are going through that it truly helped so many of us.
To know that there are people going through the same things makes it easier to understand and cope (without cope) to get through them.
You're right on the money with all them one days adding up to 270.
You have truly helped Apr 09 and KTC

Damn doods--wasn't expecting all that, but thanks!! I was just poppin in to update my intro because in the early days I spent a bunch of time bitching and playing the "woah is me card". I had a huge pity party going (or at least it felt that way) and my quit was rough. I just updated my intro to let everyone know that it DOES get better. And, it doesn't take getting to the 2nd floor to get there. I just hadn't updated my intro in awhile but I have been feeling pretty damn good for awhile. Needless to say, when I came in here this morning and saw the comments by JpCrew, PbKid, Niwot and SmokeyG--I was humbled. Thanks homies!! You all (and everyone else on the site) have saved my life!!! I'm not goin anywhere.

Funny how time works for you. The day can be fucking terrible but after time, practice and some rewiring - your options on how to deal with it no longer include DIP.
I'll throw in a 'Finger' 'Finger' TODAY
for you and will see you in the morning at roll :)
