Title: 31 Days time for an Intro
Post by: Jbojie on July 26, 2013, 10:17:00 AM
I have been sucking on Skoal Bandits for 22 years. I have tried to quit several times but to be honest, I really didn't want to quit. I loved that crap! The guilt of hiding my addiction from everyone became to much of a burden to bare. I had dreams about getting caught. Woke up in a sweat many times. I hid it from my wife for the full 22 years. I came clean with her 31 days ago and she was in shock to say the least, thanks to her prayers and support I have made it this far, she keeps me accountable everyday.

Been through the suck, really did suck... Still have those days that I crave like crazy, but I refuse to give in. I have quit, no turning back, one day at a time.

I post everyday and I quit with you guys everyday!

Thanks to all the Duck Fipers who have helped me so far.

Keep the Faith!

I am glad you are here and glad you have posted your intro....It is very important to post the intro so that you have a record of your struggles that you had along the way. Something to look at and to go along with NAFAR...if you can you should try to go back and add to your intro.

I am not sure the reasoning behind the late intro thats not the focus here the focus is that you are quit. One thing I was wondering is were you still holding out with an intro just in case... IF so baby you got to burn the bridge and the piers too...leave nothing available for her to use on you. just an observation/suggestion.

I know the addict in me was hmmm why should I post an intro this might be time 12,845 to quit/stop...then I did reading and saw what I typed above bout burning everything...also the brothers jumped on my intro and spelled shit out to me that never occured to me. Point is that the thread is helpful in a quit different perspectives are typed out. Plus the intro threads are the first place I look for new peeps to reach out to them.

I have taken about 10cents worth of room on your virgin thread. quit w you today.

No just in case this time. I finally came clean to my wife and the weight that was taken off of me was indescribable. I gave her complete permission to ask any questions and hold me totally accountable. I started looking for smokeless alternatives when I found this site. My wife has helped as much as she could but I needed people that were going through what I was and who would give me a ration of crap if I didn't do what I said I was going to do. So I started by posting roll and then helping newer guys than me. Then I started reading introductions and I thought If I can help one guy stop by posting my story then that is what I need to do.

p.s. Wife took the smokeless alternative and hid it. Told me if I really needed it to ask her for it,
haven't asked yet. Cold Turkey............

Thanks for the questions.

Quit with you today!

Jbojie,

Does the smokeless alternative that your wife is keeping for you contain nicotine?

If it doesn't contain Nic, then don't sweat it. If it helps use it. If not, let it go. But, no need to push that stuff aside if it is keeping the cravings at bay, or mellowing them.
Quit with you.

Day 32 craves are less but still slap me at times. I found that wintergreen mints help a lot!

Thanks for all the encouragement. Couldn't do it without you guys!!

Brother... Glad to see you've finally gone "all in". An intro thread is another layer of help, accountability, direction, education, and support that is invaluable! Be active on it... Let us ( and your future self) see the daily struggles, battles, and victories. These are the daily issues that make up the big picture. Most of were ninja at some point... You can't do that here and hope to gain any ground. Lay it all out man! We're right there with you. Rock on brother...

Made it to Day 51! Feeling good right now, the craves come and go but not that bad. I have a great support cast from the Duck Fips, we text each other now and again just to make sure everyone is doing well. Most of it is silly banter to ease the stress of the quit. It is great to know you have many friends that have your back.

It may be day 51, but it is still one day at a time..............

Jbogie-
HOF Train is swinging to Jacksonville Florida by way of Kentucky to pick up Jbojie. Jbogie is married with 2 children that decided at 31 to use Skoal Bandits to quit smoking. Jbogie is not the type of fella to indulge in any inappropriate behavior and plans on hanging out with his best friend, his wife, to celebrate his induction into the Hall of Fame. Jbogie is signing up for 200 days and says Keep the Faith and quit one day at time. Keeping the Faith must be something Jbogie is good at since his favorite team is the Jacksonville Jags! (sorry).
Jbogie says Fightin Ignorance has been the most inspirational quitter but is quick to say that all the Duckfips in the text group were instrumental in his quit and that he thanks all of you.
Welcome aboard Jbogie!
