I'm a thirty-two year old lawyer, married with a two and half year old daughter. I've been dipping for ten years, and have hidden it from my wife, family and co-workers. I'm tired of living a lie to the ones I love most. I've "quit" in the past, in some cases making it close to a year nicotine free, but then one weak moment (usually after having a couple of drinks with the boys), and I find myself with a dip in my mouth and the downward spiral begins again. This past weekend was a "guys" weekend with a bunch of friends from school. It was filled with drinking, smoking, dipping, and doing just about everything bad we could do to our bodies. I've never felt like the kind of shit I felt like on Saturday morning. I woke up today and said that enough is enough. My can is empty and in the trash. I am ready to tackle this challenge once and for all. I already posted roll this morning, and I'm committed.

Day 1 is in the books. Man, was that a bitch. I seriously felt like I was in a daze all afternoon. I had trouble focusing on my work and when I was talking to my colleagues, I had to consciously think about whether I was making sense. Last night, I slept terrible. I woke up about a dozen times, usually sweating. It is scary to think about what a hold the nic bitch had on me. I was excited to get to work this morning, post roll, and take on another day. Thanks to everyone for all of the support yesterday. I kept this site open on my desktop all day and turned it on whether I felt a crave coming. Here's to another day dip free!

Welcome to the best of your life quitter!

yep man ODAAT one day at a time. My coworkers probably thought my village called and they miss me when I tried speaking in my early days of quit. Just keep you head in the game and keep battling. Keep close to the site read read read as much as you can handle. remember to EMBRACE the suck and that you never want this again.

I see you posted roll today, hell yeah!
How's it going?
One Day At A Time!

Nice Job. It may take a while to get the mental crispness back, but I assure it does come back. I can also assure you that others don't notice it the way you do, so don't worry too much.
Quit with you today.

Nice work getting thru day 1 and posting roll today. That is badass! Keep fighting thru this do NOT let your thoughts of being a little slow at work slow you down!
You need to stay focused on your work of "quitting" today! Keep this quit your #1 priority today. Your lawyerly work needs to take a backburner for a bit until you can right the ship.
One thing I had to accept early on was that I was gonna be off my game at work for a bit. Like Slim said, not everyone notices like you think they do. We are often are own worst critic.
I know you can do this! ODAAT! Quit with you today!
-
Yep, day one seemed to last 30 days and day two and three were not much better. Enjoy the suffer as there is no easy way around this.
There is no way I could have even worked on the first couple of days. I just went to my accounts that I am really close to and told them what I was doing and to be patient with me.
My "fog" was strong but didn't last too long. I think I was normal within a week. That's when the hard cravings started but that didn't last too long either.
...and then, the feeling of something lost and sadness hit, that still comes and goes.
Sleep was difficult and all over the place for 22 days but is completely normal now.
All in all, I am 1 month deep into my quit and I just have 4 little nagging craves per day.
Not too bad but really, really hard.
-
Fight it hour by hour, minute by minute, or second by second. Just keep fighting, and it will get easier and better. Lots of bad assed quitter already got your back. Read some intro threads from beginning to end and you will see how quickly you can get the upper hand in this fight. Everyones' quit is different, but mostly the same patterns. Gotta pay the bills, but a few days of fog won't mess with your job like a touch of oral cancer could... Remember these days and don't let yourself forget. Quitting with you!
-
My quit is strong today. The fog is starting to clear (barely), but I am definitely on edge. Exercising has helped. Tomorrow will be a test. I have my first long drive being quit. Three hours in the car. Probably would have gone through half a can before. I'll post roll before I leave. Thanks for all the support.

Glad to hear the quit is grabbing hold. You are on the path brother. Driving was also a huge trigger for me. You will do fine, just make sure to have some seeds or fake stuff at the ready.
-
I always assumed that driving was a huge trigger for me as I dipped the most while in my car. Turns out that it hasn't bothered me at all that I can't dip while driving.
-
Stay strong for tomorrow's car trip!

Stay the course. It may not seem like it now. But you are taking your life back. It does get better.I am on Day 94 brother. Life is GOOD. Keep choppin that wood one day at a time. I quit with you today.

Posted this on another Introduction, but wanted it in mine so I can find it easily and look back on it. ........
I am on day 4, and the first three days were pretty tough. Pretty much a constant headache, emotionally on edge, "cranky" as my wife called me out on mutiple occasions. I have slept like shit, usually waking up every hour or so. However, I have to say that something has started to click this afternoon. This morning, I had my first long drive being quit. I am a lawyer and had a hearing in a small town that was about 2 hours away. We're talking back roads and corn fields for miles. In the past, drives like this were never done without the fattest lipper I could stuff in my mouth. In fact, I've "stopped" chewing dozens of times over the last decade, sometimes for weeks or even months at a time. But I'll bet you an out of town hearing with a long car ride was the cave trigger that ended my quit numerous times. I was nervous this morning. I was craving a chew like you wouldn't believe. But I got on this site, read some shit, posted roll, and hit the road. About an hour into the drive, something clicked. It was like I could suddenly see how ridiculous it was for me to think I couldn't enjoy a country drive without a chew. I turned up the tunes, rolled the windows down and yelled, "Fuck you, nic bitch." at the top of my lungs. Maybe that was stupid, but it made me feel fucking great. To wrap things up, I won my hearing, went for a long run in a beautiful state park and made the drive back without a single craving. I know this is going to be a tough road, but I'm just taking it ODDAAT, and today has been a good day. Quitting right along with you.

great stuff. You are doing this right. Preparing for the nic bitch, by reading and posting roll, will often keep her at bay.
Good job on the hearing. I remember being nervous before my first post quit hearing. I was in the fog and not sure how it was going to go. Of course it was fine. Keep up the good work my friend

Hell yeah brother, way to kick ass today and take names. You just need to continue that attitude and direct that anger where it is deserved (the Nic Bitch and you).
I quit with you all day every day.

You are quitting like a badass! Your posts are raw and honest. Stay close to KTC and keep going, bro. There are a lot of us watching your quit.
ODAAT is right. You're kicking ass. Beware of the head games...

Thanks for posting this in mine too, I needed to hear that the long roadtrip is infact possible. Which shouldn't be surprising, but like I posted, I have yet to try one longer than 1/2hr.

Saw you posted day 5; great job! You are almost through the worst part. Keep fighting! It gets so much better and is so worth it. Quit on.

Gonna pick up some Smokey Mountain Wintergreen on my way home. So far, I've gone without the fake stuff, but I think I'm gonna need an extra boost this weekend. Stay strong, brothers. See you in the a.m. for roll call.

Good plan, have supplies ready, and KTC open on your phone if not your computer. That first weekend was a real doozy for me. A lot of unscheduled time can bring craves, and I didn't realize how much I kept a full lip of yuck during lawn mowing and such.
Glad to be quit with you.

Congrats on starting your quit..... I just finished my 4th day without dip.... I've been living in the live chat (top right of screen) the past four days... whenever your craving, hit it up.... there's always vets to help you out!!

All the best to everybody for their weekend! Even lawnmowing is something new to be relearnt as a quitter.

Quittiglawyer,, Welcome. Just catching up on your intro. Good stuff,, it sounds like your in it to win it. Thought I would give some thoughts.
First I'll comment on the fake. I used the fake until the 40's and trashed it. It was instrumental in getting me that far and i'm glad it was available. After time you will realize you don't need it, because it does't give you what you really want...
You also mentioned driving. I drive for a living and that was something that was really hard for me. Guess what?? I survived and learned a lot. After time you will see that the poison didn't help you at all while driving. It doesn't help you stay awake (myth ). It doesn't help you get to your destination quicker or slower. The vehicle doesn't need it. If you pop the hood you will not find a place to put the poison.
Bottom line,, you can do this brother. Millions of people go through life without the poison everyday and you will find, with time, you can to. People have landed on the moon, drove race cars and flown jets without it. I'm sure you can drive a kia rio down the interstate at 75 without it.
Glad to be quit with you brother. Need anything let me know.

Well, I tried to buy fake dip on Friday, but the place only had 3 cans left, and all were expired by several months. Couldn't find anywhere else nearby that carried it, so I entered the weekend without it. The weekend was actually way easier than the week. The physical pain of the quit (the headaches, fogginess, GI issues, etc.) have subsided significantly. As a former ninja dipper, I tended to dip less on the weekends than I did during the week when I would pack my lip at my desk at work. So, there are fewer triggers at home on the weekends.
It is hard to believe that it has been a week since my quit began. I actually woke up this morning, and for the first time in my quit, my first thought of the day was not how bad I wanted to a dip. It was actually how pumped I was to post roll for day 8.
Friday night, I went out with an old friend who was in town visiting. He and I have shared many a dip or cigarette over the years. I hadn't seen him in about 2 years, and had no idea if he was going to pull out a can or a pack of smokes while we were out. To avoid any potential issue, I came right out and told him about my quit within the first 15 minutes of hanging out. I was thrilled to hear that he had quit himself and had not had any nicotine for months. The night was a blast. I had my first night out (with drinking) without craving nicotine, and my quit is strong.
Hope others entering the second week of their quit are starting to feel the suck less as well.
Quitting with each you today. ODAAT.

ODAAT sounds like a great weekend! Glad you're noticing the suck less, I think I am physically but not mentally as work was actually easier for me to get through but at home on the weekend when I'm alone there's more triggers. Sounds like week #2 is going awesome for ya so far!
-
A dozen days under your belt, congrats!
'oh yeah'

nice job...just never forget how bad you felt through the withdrawals protect your quit like your life depended on it because it does. Have a safety plan in place for this weekend. Holiday weekends we lose a few don't be one of them. DO YOU HAVE NUMBERS...if not get some today PM me if you need another one. Booze in moderation this weekend if you are going to drink, you never know where or when she is hiding and a moment of weakness...or bullet proof from booze...bad combo...worse yet posting a DAY 1
-
I'm just over three weeks into my quit. Most days are going pretty well now, although not a day goes by that I don't think about dipping. Usually, they are just small triggers and easily beat down, but others are stronger. Recently, I've read through some intros about guys who have gone 100+ days only to cave and throw their entire quit away. That is powerful shit that really makes you think about how important posting roll and sticking with this plan will be, whether it is for 100 days, 200 days or more.
Proud to be quit with every one of you fuckers today.

QL,
Congrats on your progress. You are doing it man! I remember when you first came around very well. I am proud of your progress, I am even happier that you have seen the fall of others. Although I hate to see people cave each time someone caves it reinspires me, glad ti does you too.

Great job on your quit bro. Just remember them cavers aren't you. You have been handling this thing like a quitter and you will continue to do so. Cavers make me stronger now. They teach me to keep my quit close. They teach me to make this quit the most important thing I got going today. They teach me that never again for any reason and I can keep what I've gotten back from the poison. Glad to be quit with you today.

If your experience is anything like mine (which I suspect it will be) It'll be a while yet until you don't think about having a chew multiple times a day... It sucks.
Somewhere between two and three months something changed though... it's not nearly as often I think about having a chew and it's a feeble crave when I get one. Just post roll, stay strong each day, and at some point over the next few months it will ease.
I absolutely agree with you, 100 ODAAT's isn't enough time to just walk away from the site. I understand why people do it though - hell I feel great right now, but I've learned from those before who walked and caved.
I don't plan on leaving anytime soon.

I'm just over three weeks into my quit. Most days are going pretty well now, although not a day goes by that I don't think about dipping. Usually, they are just small triggers and easily beat down, but others are stronger. Recently, I've read through some intros about guys who have gone 100+ days only to cave and throw their entire quit away. That is powerful shit that really makes you think about how important posting roll and sticking with this plan will be, whether it is for 100 days, 200 days or more.Â
Proud to be quit with every one of you fuckers today.
If your experience is anything like mine (which I suspect it will be) It'll be a while yet until you don't think about having a chew multiple times a day... It sucks.

Thanks for the link Gmann-
Its a great reminder for me to keep my quit strong EDD. It should be a priority for everyone else on the site too.
Now I have to figure out what the hell came about from that last post... seems Cornwallace is still active on the site so it will remain a mystery to me!

3 weeks is awesome brother! Congratulations on posting roll today being quit. We are both still early in our quit have to remain vigilant. The overt physical cravings have past... but the mental cravings are a huge challenge and will continue to be for some time. But we are up to this challenge.
I am at day 81 and I don't actually think about dipping I want no part of it. I have no urge to roll into the c-store drop 5 duckets on a can of poison. I have not thought like that since I was back near the 10-15 day quit timeframe. However, I still think about being quit throughout the entire day. If I am busy, my day proceeds as normal. But if I am in a down period, then my mind still focuses on being quit. It is not a bad thing because I am so thankful to be here today be quit. So I get on the website try to help myself other quitters.
I do think you can get overconfident think you are not an addict anymore... that will lead you down the wrong path. The path to a cave. You have to remember that you can NEVER have just ONE. You and I are addicts just ONE leads to a can, to 2 cans, to a roll...to 1 year of addiction before you know it. Remember why you are here... read your story again remember why you are quit. I was miserable want no part of the old me. Stay quit bro! I am QLF with you today.

So far I'm still beating them down by using the fake stuff. I'm not sure when the desire totally leaves or if it ever does. Talked with a coworker today about my quit. He his wife quit smoking 3 years ago now, while he doesn't miss it, his wife would like to be back smoking again everyday if it wasn't for their kids. Even 3 years out. I was surprised, but then well I guess I wasn't either. For me, the stress of the quit potential health issues that I might face as a result of my use though, are guaranteeing I don't ever want to go back down this road again. A very different mindset of just a couple weeks back when I felt sure I'd cave sooner rather than later.

Listen to derk. The guy is a quit machine. Doesnt matter how many days a person is quit. We all quit one day at a time. We are all addicts. Stay focused, post roll and life does get better. Proud of you and derk. Keep it up guys.

Day 36 - Since I started my quit, I've started going back to church. Most weeks I leave having taken nothing form the sermon, and just wishing I could get home and get ready for NFL football. This week was a little different. The sermon was about temptation, and I've had this verse stuck in my head since then:
"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."
1 Corinthians 10:13.
Could there be a more topical or timely verse to address what I'm goign through? I've definitely had my temptations these last five weeks. More so than God, this website, and my daily promise not to use nicotine has been what's gotten me through. Proud to be quit with each and every one of you.

36 days is some solid quit brother! You have won the day for 36 days. I say YOU won the day because with free will... YOU are the one making choices. There are a lot of choices to be made every day for the past 36 days you have made 1 very important choice -- you posted roll chose to stay quit. You have chosen to not revert back to dipping like an enslaved fool. You have chosen to be a free man. That is something to be proud of. Not eveyone can do what you are doing. You are building a great foundation here. Keep this quit rolling! I am proud to be quit with you today!

Congrats on 36 days thanks for taking the time to share from 1 Corinthians. God does indeed provide a way out, it's called KTC I can only describe the friendship brotherhood on here as a gift from God.

Day 73 - It's been a while since I've posted anything on my intro, so I thought I'd give a quick update. My quit has started to become the new normal for me. I no longer wake up and have my first thought be about dipping or quitting or anything like that. Now, I just wake up like any other normal person who never started the poison cat turd. Most days, the most I think about chewing is when I'm on this website, posting roll and reading through intros.
But things are not all rainbows and butterflies. The craves still come on pretty strong and usually out of no where. I recently found out that I'll be driving about four hours next week for work, staying overnight in a hotel by myself, in order to make an 8:30 a.m. hearing the next morning. I haven't had an overnight without the wifey since my quit began. In the past, I probably would have gone through a pack of smokes (I only smoked when I was out of town away from my family due to my bloodhound wife who could smell smoke on me from a mile away) and an entire can of chew, probably two or three with the long drive. When I found out I was going, the first thought I had was about chewing. The nic bitch started screaming in my ear about how awesome it would be to just sit in my hotel room with a huge fatty in my lip. "No one would know. You could just dip when you're out of town. It could be your special treat to yourself." Or, "You can just smoke a few cigarettes. You know you won't start smoking because your wife will catch you, so what's the harm? As long as you don't dip, you can look your KTC brothers in the eye and continue your march to the HOF."
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT BULLSHIT? Those were the thoughts that were blazing through my head after more than two months of quit. I'm pissed. I'm pissed that I still think that way and it is a wake up call that 73 days ain't shit when you're battling this addiction. I'm going to post roll before I hit the road and make it through what will be my biggest trigger/temptation yet. I'll probably pick up some Smokey Mountain even though I haven't needed it since week 2. I know that once I'm through it, it will give me more confidence each time the nic bitch rears her beat-ass face.
Proud to be quit with you all. ODAAT.

Good work. You recognized a potential trigger; Heard the nic bitch siren song for the load of crap it is; made a plan to post roll before the trigger; stocked up on fake stuff just in case; and came on hear to work it out on your intro---- Brother, that is how it is done. Nice Job.
Make sure you have some numbers of KTC quitters handy on your phone.
I won't be worried about you.
Strong work.

Anyone know where I can find a good lawyer?....lol....
Hopefully you are about to hit on days that you just sail on by. Here is my timeline starting with where you are now.
Day 74- 85: Really good days. Strong cravings when I have too many drinks so I have been careful with drinking. Normal days are now 0-1 crave. My temper has been completely under control for 2 weeks now.
Day 86-99: Zero craves, zero dip dreams and temper under control. The strong craves when I drink are also gone. I am disgusted when I see someone dip. Proudly watching my group hit HOF one at a time; which is just how we quit, one day at a time. My guard is still held high as I know the fight is far from over.
Day 100-101: I am on a high as I have reached my first goal. My guard is held the highest it has ever been in because I will not disappoint all those who have helped me.

Quittinglawyer is as his moniker implies, an Attorney in Indy. He is married and has a 3 year old daughter. QL started dipping at 16 and his poison of choice was Cope Wintergreen. QL likes trail running and bouncing titties (May be a connection there.... idk?) When asked if he planned to sign up for 200 he said "Abso-fucking-lutely". His words of wisdom for the group; "This site saved my life during the first couple of weeks. It is amazing what the support of a bunch of strangers can do.... especially the power of not wanting to let those strangers down." He also had this to say about his inspirations; "Anyone with over a 1000 days quit. That is my ultimate goal. That is when I will finally feel like I beat it for good. Minny and Bjarrett. I'm not the best at reaching out and staying in contact. I'm on this site all the time, but tend not say much. Minny reached out to me every couple weeks just to check in. We have a lot in common and it meant a lot. Bjarrett and I quit on the same day. I was just so impressed with his commitment, especially in light of his past issues with addiction. It's broken my heart to see what he's gone through recently. I think about him whenever I feel the slightest crave, and almost immediately, the crave is gone."
Congrats on your 100 days of quit Quittinglawyer!

QL, I'll tell you the same thing I told Construction. It has been an honor quitting with you but the greater honor is in continuing the quit side by side. Thank you for deciding to protect your quit with us here.
