i've decided that tonight when I get home from work, i'm going to order some fake chew (haven't figured out which one yet) - and as soon as i get it, i'm done. No more sneaking out to the garage after the kids go to bed to get a dip in. No more stopping at the corner store and having the cashier hand me the can before I even speak.

Click on KillTheCan.org link above. Read the "Tom and Jenny Kern" story. Then you tell me...do you want to quit now, or keep bullshitting us about all the awesome stuff you are going to do when something happens in the future?
There is no better time to quit than right now.

Hudson just dump all of your shit down the toilet and quit right now. You know how many times we've seen the "I'm gonna quit" story?! Do or don't do, just don't BS.

These guys are right hudson. I hope when you get back on here, IF you get back on here, that you don't procrastinate anymore and flush your stash.
Quitting is a mindset. Delaying the start of it is not a good signal. That said, go all out balls to the wall with this. Read and learn. Empower yourself against your addiction.
-
Hudson,
you're not alone brother.
YOU can do this "one day at a time"...Look the addict in the mirror, flush the poison, get rid of all dip related stuff, get in here and read everything, post roll every morning, get to bed, wake up REPEAT and you'll be quit faster than you think!!!!!
If this hillbilly CAN then I know that YOU CAN kick the CAN.
Follow these men's advice...they care about your quit.
-
i know that i can't do it without some kind of aide - i had quit for about 6 weeks last fall when my daughter had to have an emergency appendectomy so i leaned on my old crutch, but when i did quit i used hooch. i just placed my order.
-
Hudson, I am going to say this and then others will get in here and probably kick your butt, cause you're dilly dallying....
Whether you think you can or whether you think you cannot, you are correct...
'bang head'
do you want to be on your deathbed someday wishing you had 10 more years?
have you read much on this site??

Grab some seeds. Grab some gum. Grab some jerky. Grab some smokey mountain. Then grab your nuts and quit now.
Remember that there is never a good reasone to chew. It solves nothing. You might think you need it to handle stress, but that is just an addict's lie. Nicotine withdrawal causes stress and you remember a dip making you feel better when you get your fix. The memory is a lie.

PM if you come back! I won't hold my breath, you are an addict! Addicts lie!

thanks to the soft words and hand holding, and virtual hugs i'm getting here (tongue firmly in cheek) - i tossed my can this morning and when i stopped at the corner store for my coffee i told the shop keep that i'm done, she came around the counter and gave me a hug and promised to not let me buy it from here ever again!
seriously thanks for the kick in the balls dose of real speak men, greatly appreciated.
today is day one of a very long road but i know i'll get there

The road gets paved one day at a time. Just show up to lay down the foundation, the paycheck at the end is well worth it.

That sounds great, just so you know it doesn't mean shit untill you post roll here... (some more virtual hugs for ya!) go to the welcome center and read how the site works (because it does) - then go to your quit group: December 2012 and post roll. do this each day and do it early - if your word is anything to you your promise here means that you will not use nicotine in any form today. I'd wish you luck but you don't need it - just give us your word and quit!
-
hey hudsonp,
Did you post roll yet???
Do you need help this a.m.???
Find the "live chat" button...upper right corner...jump in, someone is usually there to help you with getting started on "getting your life back".
Balls to the wall Sir and you CAN do this!!! I promise you that YOU CAN!
-
i just posted to roll.
this morning is going pretty good - been out in the shop fixing shit (I work IT for a manufacturing company) - so i've been distracted. I have meetings all afternoon so that will keep my brain focused on other things.
-
hudsonp,
Good decision and glad you bit the bullet. As was said earlier... this is a mindset. When you get it in your mind that you "need" a dip, it's not your mind telling you that, it's the nic bitch. She's crafty and evil and will stop at nothing to make you fail. But, just know this... each day you quit, you kill a little more of that nic bitch and she gets a little quieter each day. She may scream loud at times, but those WILL become fewer and far between.
ONE DAY at a time... nothing more, nothing less.
lcwb96 - PM me anytime
-
ya know that nic bitch is crafty - i find myself thinking "you could have just one and be done again" - then i find the reason part of myself saying "if you could have one and be done, you would have done that the last 20 times you said the same thing"
-
You're doin good Hudson....don't fuck around brother....keep your quit STRONG.
Nicotine doesn't make anything better!!!
Caving is NOT an option!! You can beat these mind-games!!! It's just re-wiring and fighting the craves...YOU can DO this!!
I have made it 112 daze...it gets easier, this I promise YOU. ONE day at a time and your daze will stack up before you even realize it.
I quit with YOU TODAY!!! 'bang head'

so today is day 15, for the last 2-3 days i've felt like there is hair stuck in my mouth, just under my tongue. anyone have that before? have a sore starting on the underside of my tongue too, i know its just my mouth healing, but that first sip of coffee this morning was a wake up shot!

never had that, I did have some small sores, had the dentist check me out at about day 30 and all was well. Felt damn good to have a check up and know that I was good!

You "chewing" anything else? Seeds, gum, fake snuff, etc.?? If so, that could contribute along with the healing.
-
i haven't been using fake stuff (tried the first few days but it was nasty), only eat seeds once in a while.

weird hair in my mouth feeling is gone!
made it though something very hard saturday. my wife was on call and got called out to work, kids were already in bed so i went to the garage to tinker around. this was typically prime dip time for me. didn't even have the urge to dip, just tinkered around for a few hours and went to bed. I was and am proud of myself.

Proud to be quit you!!

day 30 today, wow!
i'm the health and wellness champion at my company (lost 80lbs in the last 2 years), and yesterday i had to speak in front of the plant to encourage people to sign up for our health fair at the end of this month, roughly 200 guys. i'm not much of a public speaker and was rather nervous - i'm proud of myself for not even thinking about a dip.
i pray to the Lord each day for his strength to stay free of that junk.
-
hey hudsonp,
Keep quitting each a.m. focusing on the now and never on the tomorrows and your days will stack up very nicely.
Proud to b quit with YOU! 'bang head'

friday my 2.5 year old son had his tonsils adneoids removed as well as a 3rd set of tubes put in. he was planned admit for 24 hours for observation since he is so little. well that turned into saturday night then sunday night then monday night, well he finally came home today (hadn't been drinking enough fluid). Last night the nic bitch hit me hard. my daughter went to grandmas, and i left my wife and son at the hospital, she kept nagging me, damn near got me to pull into the store to get a can. lucky for me i had a bag of seeds with me and i just started eating the shit out of those.
hey nic bitch 'Finger'
never again, not even once. stay strong brothers

Nice job Hudson... nicotine doesn't help with any of life's monkey wrenches. The only thing we can control is our honor and our decision to remain quit. Well done!
-
Good Job Bro! Prayers for your lil one and your whole family.
-
Great news on your son and your will to stay quit.
-
You aren't going to make it happen.
You are making it happen.
I'm very proud of you.

Very, very well done. Look at yourself in the mirror and give yourself an attaboy. Men, there are no excuses. Quitters find a way to quit.
1 Problem + Nicotine = 2 Problems.

HOF 'hoftrain'
thats right, the sniffy little bitch who was "going to quit tomorrow" sacked up and quit. that was 100 days ago and here I am today!
funny little story. i turned in an expense report the other day, first one since i quit. i used to turn them in weekly so i could keep the price low (under 100$ and they pay you cash, over 100$ and its given to you in a check) - i used to take the cash and go straight to the store to buy chew, it was my secret chew, my wife didn't know i had spent that money, hahahahaha, what a douchebag I was. Anywho, the lady gives me a check and damn near ran home to give it to my wife. I no longer hide things from her. She's not dumb (well she did marry me....), in fact she is one of the smartest people i know, yet i used to sneak around and think that she didn't know I chewed, what a douchebag. We cannot change the person we were, only change the person we are today.

Congrats and well done thus far. I have to admit, I had my doubts about you early on, but you have driven through some pretty shitty weather on your way to the HOF. Those moments are galvanizing in our quit journeys and only serve to make us stronger in our fight. All the best to you and yours this Christmas season.
