Title: Done
Post by: secretmassdipper on May 28, 2013, 12:04:00 PM
I dip.

My wife doesn't know i dip, she thinks i gave it up.

I have a 6 month old boy. I want to be around.

I dip at work/garage/car/home. When my wife's around i am a smoker, else i dip.

As of today, i do not dip. As of today i do not smoke.

My whole body is tingly, and i cant concentrate on anything at work. Day one is hell.

You have come to the right place man. Read everything here. Especially the HOF speeches and Intro's from people that have been there day 1. I'm only on Day 9 myself. But believe me. It gets better. You will be free. You made the right choice. It takes balls to confront the evil that is nicotine and kick it to the curb. Start posting roll here. Get some seeds, candy, regular gum. When cravings hit visit this site. Don't think about quitting for forever. Quit for today. Then tomorrow quit again for another day. You got this man. PM me if you need anything.

The support here is amazing.

Hell yeah day 1 is hell!! Remember it too...remember that like everyone else on this site, you Sir are an addict. If you want to permanently quit promise no chew or smoke today  only today...then tomorrow wake up  promise again. I will suggest getting jerky, gum, seeds, and juice... Then get some exercise. I quit with you today

Embrace the Suck for yourself, your wife and your son.

Being a former Ninja dipper myself the wife finding out was my worst problem. She is still raggging on me, about the lies. Your behavior over the next few days will be telling.

get gum, fake dip, (or not) Mine blew a gasket about the fake dip, seeds, what ever it takes to get you through the SUCK..

For the physical suck last 6-8 days. now at 22 days it is all in the head.

Follow up with your health see a dentist regularly, I've only been chewing for 10 years but see my dentist every 4-6 months.
Now I hope my hygenist sees the gums beginning to heal (and her not working so hard to clean me up),

So your wife approves of smoking more than dipping? Don't remember hearing that one before.

None of that matters at this point, though.

Good to see you here.
Title: Re: Done
Post by: secretmassdipper on May 28, 2013, 02:10:00 PM
Thanks for the words.

Yeah the wife does not like dipping at all, and doesnt really care about the smoking as she is a smoker. We will be working together to quit smoking, i may have to come clean about the dip. Who knows. we will see

Post by: traumagnet on May 28, 2013, 02:19:00 PM
First of all welcome. I would have to agree with Radman...ok with smoking but not dipping...
get her and you to wack the pack...if it were me I would come clean so that you dont have to worry about anyone finding out later. You want to take every excuse off the table to ever start again.

If I were you I would join both wtp and KTC...the more places and peeps you are accountable to the better off you will be.

read read read...we have all done this you can learn a ton from us and we can learn from you. get active with your group get numbers...

you are in the suck/fog right now embrace it remember how bad you feel. PM me if you need anything

I would love to see you and your wife over at Whack The Pack... It's very... Um... subdued compared to the liveliness here but the vets there are amazing and I'm so damn proud to be quit with them. I'm on Day 6 and it would be great to have a new QUITTER (or TWO!) posting roll with me there!

Day 4 and feeling good.

Had trouble sleeping the first 2 nights, last night i think i slept the whole night.

Sand Fleas Gotta Eat helped me kill my worse craving yet, while humping 2 tons of pellets above the garage. Just texting him that i wasn't going to let nicotine back in my life helped kill the craving. thanks Sand Fleas

Plan for the weekend, stay away from my smoking friends. Cigarettes/Cigars are always the first step towards dip.

My weekend pledge

I will post roll
I will not smoke
I will not dip
I will not surround myself with those that dip or smoke.

Good job, and welcome smd. Glad to have you. One day at a time and you to can have your life back. Smoking, dipping, toking, shooting, whatever the method. The poison leaving your body and never returning,, that's what it's all about. It's going to get tough, stay close. You and your wife should be able to help each other. One of you can also help end it for both, so take this quit seriously and hold each other accountable.

Read everything you can about your addiction. Learn what your going to go through and why. It makes the battle much easier when you know what's coming and why. I believe knowing your enemy, especially this one is half the battle.

You got this bro. Stay in touch, you have my digits. I may need you to help me too because I'm not above all this $hit.

Just so you know, we are never above the whispers of the nic bitch, but we are given the tools to selectively ignore her whispers.

Keep it up! You are almost through the worst of it! My first week is a blur from all the fog... But it sucked so much I promised myself that I would not go through that again (and I keep promising it to myself everyday. Just be prepared for the for craves and mind games and use your tools when they come.

Keep up the good work and PM me if you want to exchange numbers.

Thanks to everyone for all the support.

Last night was at a company dinner at an executives house. Ive smoked cigars with these guys in the past.

I made sure that i only had a few beers not only to be ok to drive home, but to keep my senses about the nic bitch. Then i told everyone i had a conversation with that i no longer used nicotine. When the cigars came out later, only one person asked if i wanted one. His question was immediately meet with my old boss saying no, he doesn't use nicotine any more. I left feeling great and woke up this morning excited about being nic free on day 9.

The train is now headed over to Townsend, MA, we are picking up a married man by the scream name of SecretMassDipper. Got a 9 month old so he will probably sleep most of the day on his train ride lol. He is the chief geek at work and likes The Big Lebowski and enjoys mechanics as his hobby. This guy started dipping at an older age in life, 12 years old, and like most used an array of brands and flavors throughout his years as a dipper. He is bringing some Shipyard Pumpkin Ale on train and he has been known to throw a few back, or a lot! He will ride anything! Well anything with two wheels he said, hell he has been 140 Mph on a Ducati and SMD says he will be celebrating with beer and steak and will be signed up for 200 days for sure! In his won words "Having someone to text when you are craving is critical and i would have failed otherwise". Also in his own words this bad ass spoke........ "Sand Fleas Gotta Eat was crucial to this day. He would check in on me and i would text when i was in a bad spot. Thanks man i really appreciate it". I am proud to welcome you on the train SecretMassDipper, I (Erussell) quit with you!

139 days in... been awhile since i added anything to my intro. Dont feel comfortable doing a HOF yet. Still taking it day by day. Seems really easy now, but i know that bitch is right behind me; waiting for me to have a beer to many or be really down. Looking forward to hitting day 200. Now if only my wife would give up the cigarettes. Fake dip doesn't do anything for me anymore. Still use sunflower seeds when im hanging around camping or outside, but in no way like i used to. I don't think about using when i get in the car anymore. Feeling really good about being quit, but that bitch is always there. Purpose for writing this is that i keep thinking i can have "just one". I know how that turns out, one turns into 2 which turns into just on the weekends, then just when i have a drink then just out of work then im back in. Not this time, not 1. Not 1 dip, not 1 cigarette, not 1 cigar. NOT 1.

Great job on your quit smd. I'm about 100 days ahead of you and those temptations from the poison are more real than ever. I've come so far and I've not got anything to worry about. I can just have one now. I know how to defeat this enemy so one more is not going to hurt. What a bunch of bulls__t.

That's why posting roll is so important to us my friend. That's why this site has helped more than we would have ever thought. That's why the teachings of this site keep us quit. That's why so many succeed with this site. Never again for any reason and we can keep what we have taken back. As soon as them thoughts creep in,, kick them out as fast as you can. Post roll and keep our promise. Damn glad to be quit with you.
