Found this site - on day 10 and I am grateful...Signed into Roll (I think)....Twenty years of Skoal / Cope and Grizzly of 1 to 2 cans per day....
Just up and quit as I was tired of the bullshit, and the dirty looks I would get from the wife and kid....and whoever else didnt chew for that matter....
I would throw in a dip, have shit on my chin - my boy would ask whats that on your lip and I would say "dont know, must be dirt or something" - How Pathetic of an Addict am I....No need to answer...I F*^%ing think I know.....
Just finished driving 3 hours each way to Delware (Twice) this weekend for kid's hockey tryouts and I was eating the Frickin bag (plastic and all) of sunflower seeds trying to maintain composure!!!! Still quit and will be for the rest of today....

Welcome Tinman!
I had a similar experience. I paused many times with tobacco but never truly quit. I once quit for my religion and caved. I quit many times for my wife and caved. When my kids had an intervention, I felt like shit and quit. Then caved.
It wasn't until March 14th, 2012 that I chose to be late for work, pulled over and bought a can of skoal. I put a dip in my mouth and that was all I worried about until I got my fix.
I stared at that can and realized that I loved that can more than my God, my wife, my kids and my own life. If I was asked what was most important to me, I never would have said tobacco. If you looked at my behavior, Tobacco was a god to me.
So there I am looking at that can and realizing for the first time that I hate it. I hate how it makes me feel, I hate that it controlled my actions and goals. I realized I was in bondage to a vice....A ha! This is what it feels like to be addicted. Even if you want to, you can't leave it alone.
I panicked. I am a disgusting addict. I want to quit but I can't. How do I do it? So with a dip in my mouth, I got on line and found KTC. Went into chat. Without a plan, I was talked into divorcing my mistress. I was scared. I didn't want to fail anymore.
I have been educated and now can report that with KTC, I am undefeated with the evil nicotine addiction. I am 97 days quit, including alcohol and I love it!!!
Quitting is hell but if you want to quit because you want to quit...you came to the right place to be successful. Many people started where you are today and will guide you through all the symptoms. Trust the vets and be humble. If they tell you to do something, follow them with exactness and the quit will become easy and you will enjoy your new found freedom from vice.
Glad to have another quitter going on a journey to hell. Just keep walking and you will walk out of hell too.
-
Exact word I was using just the other day to describe how I felt about myself looking back on my addiction. "Pathetic" I don't want to feel that way about myself ever again and I'm sure you don't either.
Stay Strong.

I was right there with you...dipping for 20 years, kids started to ask what I was "eating," I wanted to quit, I was sick of being an addict, etc.
You can't change the past. What's done is done. The future isn't here yet...so you can't change that. But you sure as shit can change what you do today.
Click on the killthecan.org page above and read the Tom and Jenny Kern story in the bottom right hand corner. (I recommend this to anyone...especially those with kids). Holy shit, that story gets me!
See, tobacco's victims aren't the guy in the ground. The victim is the child you took to hockey try-outs....the one who makes the first line but has nobody to share it with, the one you drove 3 hours for each way and who is dying to to tell you about what went right and what went wrong on the ice that day. The one who looks up to you....even while you looked back at him and said, "hold on...this shit in my lip is more important than anything else, including my relationship with you."
HOLY SHIT, right? But that is addiction. When you see it for what it is, it isn't so hard to deal with a craves every once in a while, huh?
GREAT CHOICE, BROTHER!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!! PM me if you need anything. Stay strong, stay quit, brother!
-
Man - you guys are good...V glad I decided to Quit and Post....MThomas - read some of your sports talk-sports nut here - I love thinking about how I am currently 10-0. Gives me more strength to throw the bitch off my back.
Thanks for the support fellas!!!!!!!!!!!
Keeping on Quittin On................................
-
Bean - read the story - Holy Shit - got to me too....I even broke down and showed it to the wife, who really didnt know how much I would chew (nor the headache to quit)....
After reading a story like that, how do you know if your mouth if f@#$ed? I am hesitant to go to a dentist, much less anyone else who would perform deeper inspections on the ol pie hole....I have been nervous for years...
-
Give it a week or so. You might even develope a sore throat or sores because you're quit. I didn't, but i read about that happening in the Welcome Center Link.
Then go to dentist. Tell him you used to dip...like he didn't know already, right? I guarantee he knows...but still, tell him.

Day 11 - Start to struggle mentally here in past pauses.....FU Nic Bitch!!
-
So listen to this, and it is not to get any sympathy......
My close friend passed away this morning at 44 yrs old after a three year battle w throat cancer. Now, this guy was a lifetime non-chewer / non smoker. He just got a swollen gland one day and got the shit...This good guy ALWAYS busted my balls daily about quitting chewing, how it will fuck you up before and after he got sick, and I said "yeah, I know" , looked the other way and packed in another chew. This would occur daily, over and over and over. What an addicted a-hole I am.
Now with feeling pretty down and 11 days into my quit, I say what the fuck, is it time to cave and have a chew? What would my friend's teenage kids think about that when I see them later?
What a disgusting thought..................
Please join me in qutting this shit for another day.....
Thanks all.

Sorry to hear about your loss man. I am quit with you today.

Damn brother I hate to hear that. The non dipper gets the cancer. Thats just a warning to all of us that at anytime any one of us can get an illness that can kill us. Why would anyone want to do anything that increases the chances of it happening to ourselves? Because we are addicts but not idiots stay quit brother. I'm quit with you.

Listen to Grizz. He got me through a lot of land mines and addicted mind thinking.
Man Tinman, if I could take all the pain, all the hurt, the fog, and the funks away from you. I wouldn't!!!
There is too much to gain from the pain. There is so much knowledge, strength and understanding when you fight through it. You get stronger every time you triumph over temptations, triggers etc.
If I could take the suck away from you, I would do you a dis-service. It would be like helping a butterfly out of its cocoon. The butterfly dies because it isn't strong enough to fly.
This is all exercise. Embrace the suck. Triumph. You will feel like shit but you can't tell me it doesn't feel fun to succeed in controlling our addiction.
Keep your focus in perspective. You only worry about getting through today. Put all your might, mind and energy into today. Don't worry about preserving your stamina for tomorrow. Just focus on balls to the wall quit today. Overcome and triumph just today.
If tomorrow comes, repeat. Soon you will look back and love the suck! My first victories over true, real crossroads to cave or quit...I became stronger in my resolve. I never want to go back but I am so glad for the foundation of my quit.
Stay the course, follow your vets, and repeat every day you wake. You are going to look in the mirror soon and think, "Wow, the burden of quit is light. The burden of being a user is too heavy." Then kicking the nic bithces ass is fun! All the sudden the success of your quit bleeds into every facet of your life! I gave up lying and deception for living and loving. It is sweet!

Stay strong. Nicotine fixes nothing !!
Remember every miserable second of how you feel. Think to yourself what kind of shit can do that to your mind and body! Nicotine is deadly!!
Your mind is going to tell you all kinds of shit to try and get a fix from you. Understand what it going on and fight through it.
Keep fighting! It is worth it!!
Stay quit

Man - you guys are inspirational!! Day 12 baby!!
Feeling the support and chuckling at times along the way really makes this much funner than trying to outrun this addiction alone!!
In previous 'pauses' it has always been about 7-14 days that I have never made it thru. An you know what, I have always thought myself to be mentally tough - ex college wrestler and all, but wow my head plays games and it is all bullshit.....
I will be Quit today!!!!
THANK YOU ALL 'boob'

I say tap into that old wrestling mentality! I was a wrestler I cant say I was awesome but I was average and very determined.
I have used my determination and resolve to get this far so believe me it works!
keep on keeping on and dont look back, pay it forward and always attack!

Tinman I find that helping fellow quiters and laughing are my 2 best defenses against the bitch! Nothing like imagining MThomas licking a toads ass or having a corncob in his pants to take my mind off dip. ( those were both insider stories and I still don't know if he spit or swallowed). Read and laugh!

Damn it. WT! Reading that, everyone thinks I put corncobs in my pants!
I don't need a corncob. My junk is a replica of a 747. Big fuselage and little tiny landing gear. I might stuff apricots but no corn cob!!!!!!

Sorry guys - went to providenciales for a week w family. Still on the hook 23 days and hanging in.....had some trouble with internet access / work paying for it so I apologize for not posting roll. I really do not want to chew this shit again....
I did have the craziest crave......I was about 70' underwater diving, cooling out watching a shark go by and as he was swimming off into the blue I thought - man I could really go for a chew right now (regulator in my mouth and all).....Shark came back in my direction a couple mins later and I forgot about chewing!!

We had a guy in our group manage to post roll from the cayman islands. Did you at least let anyone in your group know you might be MIA.
Get to know people, exchange numbers, communicate. Quit like Fuck.

Hey So Outside of being selfish MIA on vacation for a little bit (Thanks KEDDY and STEVE for calling me out), I did have a benefit to quitting that I wanted to share..
...So year after year of going on vaca, I would pause chewing for vaca the day our trip would start....with that, always a day or two in I would fricking blow up like an asshole or duck off in a convenience store to get a quick fix.....regardless, my wife or kid quickly wouldnt want to be on vacation anymore.... 'bang head'
Now after having quit for a couple of weeks and then hitting vacation, it was the best time we had away in years and my son (who is now old enough to realize what is going on) thanked me again for qutting and the vacation without being a dick. 'boob'
Holy Shit.
I can smell a month around the corner, but with that said, I will not chew today....

Fuck you, I will not chew tonight. And guess what bitch, tomorrow is a month without your stinkin ass in my mouth. Can't wait and Fuck off.....

Today is Day 40 and I have a question to the team-
With my lovely personality of being 'addicted to all things' I now find myself eating like a sonofabitch since my quit started. Almost to the point where I am getting concerned.
In 40 days I have gained 8 pounds!! My math puts me up to +20 lbs by HOF day!!
Now I have been going to the gym for past week (Smack that ass!!) To help fight this weight battle.
My question is this, is this eating like a horse a phase? Or is it something that is indicitive of another problem (I.e. Replacing addictions)?
Thanks all
Tin.

Dude I am not an expert but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night...
My experience and thoughts...yes it is a phase but you have to worry about it. Last year July 11th, I weighed 225lbs. Went back to the gym and lost 42lbs by March.
My nicotine intake increased. Before and after a workout, I chewed. When I was hungry, I chewed vs eat candy or food. July 11th, 2012 was my target date to lose 50lbs.
Well I quit chewing in March. My biggest concern was that I would lose ground and gain the weight back. I was told to expect to gain weight but once I control and get through the initial quit, the weight would start to come off.
The other problem is that I trained my brain that the gym was dip time. So I stopped going For a time until I felt ready and strong enough to fight the biggest trigger.
I gained rapidly, got to 212 in 60 days. I went back to the gym, not like I did but getting back into it. Day 127 and I weigh 194.
So expect the gain, be concered, but quit is priority now! Once you feel like you have control over your quit, then focus on weight.
It is easier to lose weight vs battle cancer. Don't sweat the gain, I am sure you will eat less as yor triggers go down.

Rookie, I can put on weight just looking at a cheeseburger 'no'
I put on 40lbs in my first 70 days or so. I decided I was not going to deprive myself of food while struggling with my early quit.
Thankfully, I'm working my way down (almost 20lbs of it so far) now. I wouldn't worry about it until you think you're ready to tackle it. Losing weight isn't that hard. As for me, I just have to stay away from Pizza, burgers, chips and other greasy, salty foods while working out like a madman.

Today is Day 40 and I have a question to the team-
With my lovely personality of being 'addicted to all things' I now find myself eating like a sonofabitch since my quit started. Almost to the point where I am getting concerned.
In 40 days I have gained 8 pounds!! My math puts me up to +20 lbs by HOF day!!
Now I have been going to the gym for past week (Smack that ass!!) To help fight this weight battle.
My question is this, is this eating like a horse a phase? Or is it something that is indicitive of another problem (I.e. Replacing addictions)?
Thanks all
Tin.

Tinman,
Honestly man, 8 pounds I would not worry about too much, Hell I can put 8 pounds on in one trip to my local Chinese Buffet. Hit the gym and it will come off, STAY QUIT even if you put on 80 lbs.

I have put on 20 lbs in the past 70 days. Own it and refocus your efforts and it will drop back to normal. Cut back on the food and get some excersise. You will sleep better at night too after a good workout.
