Title: And now on the main stage
Post by: Ginet on January 02, 2014, 11:44:00 PM
I am Ginet. I am a female nicotine addict. I have been using Kodiak wintergreen for 22 years, close enough to a can per day. I have been quit five days as of this post. I was planning on starting my quit on New Years Day...probably like a lot people, and was searching this site to check out the info and chat room for support with my nic patch on and my plan ready for Jan 1st. I met a lot of great people right away and was informed almost immediately that the patch on my arm is not quit. I listened and watched as people carried on their conversations for about an hour and then left the room. My entire plan of what I thought would work starting Jan 1st was wrong. Maybe wrong is not the right word, but I already knew my plan wasn't going to be the best plan for me to quit and stay quit. I filled my can with water and took it out to the trash can in the alley. (Yes, I should have flushed it because yes, as about hour 10 rolled around and I really thought going out to dig that can out of the trash was an okay idea! But I didn't. I stayed quit.) I took the nic patch off of my arm and washed all of the sticky crap off and logged back on. MN_Ben was there again and I told him what had happened and he was the first to welcome me and quit with me. It has been nothing but support from every single person that I've met. I love this place and would not be quit without it. I already know this.

I know my story is not any less or more important than anyone else's. I mentioned that I was female right away only for other females to see it and keep reading. I was always so afraid of what people would say if they knew I chewed. To a chic, "that is so gross" translates to "YOU are so gross". We all know females are wired differently. My husband and my sister are the only people that know. Can you imagine going 22 years and not even your closest buddies know you chew? What a secret. What a burden. What a bitch! My sister thinks I am "dumb" and has told me so many times. My husband also chews. This is my biggest obstacle. I am focusing on me and my quit. I won't pester him and push him but I do plan to leave this site open one day with a few choice articles and posts for him to see. We have talked about quitting several times. Problem is we only "talk about it". And then there is my step son that we actually have custody of. I would NEVER let him know I dipped. I would drive to his sporting event separately in my car so I could chew. He would ask me to play hockey and be the goalie (which hurts by the way) or play Xbox but I would put it off for a few minutes and say I had to change out the laundry or take a shower first so I could chew. Really? Who does this? An addict does. I have been in a high ranking position for awhile and have managed to avoid going to lunch with fellow co-workers because I didn't want to drive with them anywhere to get food so I could go myself in my car and chew. What the hell is wrong with me? I hate those things. I even hate that one time I thought I was actually "cool" because some dude rodeo stud (NOT) thought he would make me puke and look like a fool by betting $100 that I could not dip his Copenhagen and last 15 minutes. I won. Why was I proud of that? Just plain stupid and now embarrassing for sure.

Why did I quit? I stopped fooling myself. I stopped letting my "reasons" and "cravings" dictate my actions, my thoughts, my life. It's beyond the money wasted. It's beyond digging in the trash for the empty Gatorade bottle my kid just tossed so I can use that in my car. It's beyond worrying about what someone might say. It's about knowing it can kill me. I know what can happen. I am not stupid. I only made a stupid decision. I have a lot to live for. I now have a lot of support. hank you MN_Ben, Suds, Roam, cmark and TxTornado just to name a few. I'm quit.

Your story about lurking around KTC and being sucked into quitting cold turkey resonates with me, as my experience was about the same. I am on day 23, and have never felt this empowered to quit. This is the first intro that I have responded to, and I am moved to say, I quit with you. Tell your husband to get his ass in here and I'll quit with him too.

It sounds like you are on the right track G. Way to go, and keep up the good work.

That's a damn fine intro, honest! All those things we did to get extra chew time are typical addict actions. I'll quit with you everyday!

Damn Ginet....that's an awful inspiring Intro...nice work. Keep quit, and hopefully your hubby is being supportive at a minimum. If that is your biggest obstacle, make sure to seek out advice here on KTC on how to deal with that. Please do NOT let that hinder your quit....

and if you're looking for more support numbers, shoot me a PM...me numero, su numero......

I even hate that one time I thought I was actually "cool" because some dude rodeo stud (NOT) thought he would make me puke and look like a fool by betting $100 that I could not dip his Copenhagen and last 15 minutes.  I won. Why was I proud of that?  Just plain stupid and now embarrassing for sure.

Why did I quit? I stopped fooling myself. I stopped letting my "reasons" and "cravings" dictate my actions, my thoughts, my life. It's beyond the money wasted. It's beyond digging in the trash for the empty Gatorade bottle my kid just tossed so I can use that in my car.  It's beyond worrying about what someone might say.

Love this.
Self realization... Seeing the truth of how our addiction colors our life is HUGE! You know this already but I'll repeat it... You're not alone. We have been where you are , done the things you have done, rationalized our use the same way, put off meetings to get a last dip in, on and on and on...

Can't stress this enough... Get involved here. Post your roll everyday, get to know people, read everything you can. It'll keep you quit. It'll save your life. Proud to quit with you sis ~ welcome to freedom. It's pretty damn cool.

That's a damn fine intro, honest! All those things we did to get extra chew time are typical addict actions. I'll quit with you everyday!
That's some good shit right there. Eye opening stuff.

Welcome.
Great read. You were blind and now you see. It keeps getting better an better. Great job. Proud to quit with you.
Welcome to being quit. Im bout a month in front of you in the march group. My neighbors of the last 4 years just found out I've been chewing. They had no idea. I was a master ninja dipper.
Welcome to your quit. Proud to quit with you today.

That's so gross...lol...

I'm not sure why everyone on here is so whiny and crying... Quitting is really simple....just don't put a dip in....

Read everything on here, post roll call each morning and don't dip. Wow....that sounds so easy, doesn't it?

If you read through the other intro's you may see some of my same words on them but they always hold true so I will just repeat them...

You are in for one nasty fight but you have the tools here to make it.

Go load yourself up with gum, mints, fake chew, seeds and beef jerky. Also get some member phone numbers right now, they will help you through the rough parts.

Next, exercise to exhaustion every single day and drink so much water that you feel like you may bust. Both of these will help.

99% chance that you are going to be a bitch for the next 3-4 weeks. Try not to take it out on the kids. Get on here and take it out on us, we will be fine.

I quit with you.

I am Ginet. I am a female nicotine addict. I have been using Kodiak wintergreen for 22 years, close enough to a can per day. I have been quit five days as of this post. I was planning on starting my quit on New Years Day...probably like a lot people, and was searching this site to check out the info and chat room for support with my nic patch on and my plan ready for Jan 1st. I met a lot of great people right away and was informed almost immediately that the patch on my arm is not quit. I listened and watched as people carried on their conversations for about an hour and then left the room. My entire plan of what I thought would work starting Jan 1st was wrong. Maybe wrong is not the right word, but I already knew my plan wasn't going to be the best plan for me to quit and stay quit. I filled my can with water and took it out to the trash can in the alley. (Yes, I should have flushed it because yes, as about hour 10 rolled around and I really thought going out to dig that can out of the trash was an okay idea! But I didn't. I stayed quit.)  I took the nic patch off of my arm and washed all of the sticky crap off and logged back on.  MN_Ben was there again and I told him what had happened and he was the first to welcome me and quit with me.  It has been nothing but support from every single person that I've met. I love this place and would not be quit without it.  I already know this.

I know my story is not any less or more important than anyone else's. I mentioned that I was female right away only for other females to see it and keep reading.  I was always so afraid of what people would say if they knew I chewed. To a chic, "that is so gross" translates to "YOU are so gross".  We all know females are wired differently.  My husband and my sister are the only people that know.  Can you imagine going 22 years and not even your closest buddies know you chew?  What a secret. What a burden. What a bitch! My sister thinks I am "dumb" and has told me so many times. My husband also chews.  This is my biggest obstacle.  I am focusing on me and my quit. I won't pester him and push him but I do plan to leave this site open one day with a few choice articles and posts for him to see.  We have talked about quitting several times.  Problem is we only "talk about it". And then there is my step son that we actually have custody of.  I would NEVER let him know I dipped.  I would drive to his sporting event separately in my car so I could chew. He would ask me to play hockey and be the goalie (which hurts by the way) or play Xbox but I would put it off for a few minutes and say I had to change out the laundry or take a shower first so I could chew.  Really?  Who does this?

Welcome G, Lets get the quit on!
This is the best intro I've read in awhile. I was doing so many of the same things that you were doing to get one more dip in without anybody knowing. "Ninja dipping" was a rush all in itself so as not to get caught. I shudder to think what would have happened if anybody would have found out (not even the wife knew), but I'm glad they didn't. The reason being, if somebody had found out and "forced" me to quit, I don't know that I ever would have been able to truly own my quit because I don't know if I would have been doing it for myself or somebody else.

I know today that I quit for me first. The added benefit is that my wife and kids will know a better husband/dad, get to spend more time with me now that I'm not finding excuses to be away from them to dip, and spend more time with them in the long haul because I won't be dying from a selfish stupid habit.

I quit with you today and each day hereafter. Stay strong and if you need anything at all, PM me. Stay strong and QLF today.

Your intro makes me want to stand behind you in this quit. Nice! You're gonna have a lot of help- go get this thing handled! Don't be afraid to ask for help, you have some amazing support around you because of what you already gave in your intro.

This intro is a great example of how we, as addicts, were slaves to the can. As you so eloquently describe, the lengths we go to just to further master our ninja dipping skills is pathetic when we step outside that slave world. Like you and many others here, I am a master ninja dipper. Reading your story and others is like looking in a mirror. But, for each day I stay quit, I stay free from the chains of enslavement that nicotine and her trusty can had on me. Stay quit, stay free.

Those of us that lurk in chat a lot come across a lot of new quitters, some people looking for information, others who are thinking about quitting and others.

Its rare to come across someone who just "gets it" right away. Who gets what they are up against, and who has the honesty to look at themselves and see the truth. Our addict brains have a way of being able to hide the truth from us with words like "cutting back" or "Im not as bad as..." You drew a line in the sand and said ENOUGH!!!

I love this intro, I love your insight, I love your attitude.

Use every minute you put in your rearview mirror to steel your resolve against this wicked weed..

Great intro Ginet. Ripping that patch off and joining us cold turkey folks is one father best divisions of your life. Yes the addiction is full of embarrassment and hiding and inconveniences, but you've made the decision because your eyes are opened to the harm it causes and all that's associated with that. Use that continually as your fuel for your quit. As you free yourself from the grip of this addiction day by day you will become even more aware of the damages and slavery of this addiction. You are now on the road to freedom sister.

So we've discussed that my husband chews....and today we were running around like the typical busy weekend couple and as he leaves for the next thing with our kiddo, I tell him "I need to stop and get fuel so I will be there right after that" and he actually says "can you grab me a can of Copenhagen while you are there?" OMG. I gave him the stare of death and he realized what he had said just as he finished the sentence. That poor man begged for his life and forgiveness! It was an honest mistake. A very "normal" habit actually and something I had said to him several times as well but with "Kodiak". I continued to inform him that I COULD NOT get that for him and that I would be getting gas from the fuel stop by the supermarket, you know, the one with just pumps and no store or attendant. Suck it Kodiak you Bitch. Damn that felt like a million bucks. Just saying....

So we've discussed that my husband chews....and today we were running around like the typical busy weekend couple and as he leaves for the next thing with our kiddo, I tell him "I need to stop and get fuel so I will be there right after that" and he actually says "can you grab me a can of Copenhagen while you are there?"  OMG.  I gave him the stare of death and he realized what he had said just as he finished the sentence.  That poor man begged for his life and forgiveness!  It was an honest mistake. A very "normal" habit actually and something I had said to him several times as well but with "Kodiak". I continued to inform him that I COULD NOT get that for him and that I would be getting gas from the fuel stop by the supermarket, you know, the one with just pumps and no store or attendant.  Suck it Kodiak you Bitch.  Damn that felt like a million bucks. Just saying....
Thanks Ginet, Keep pushing forward.I will push for you if you can not .... only because I know that you would not let me fail if you could physically prevent it... You will make it, you are very strong willed.
And one for me too 'Finger' Biotch
Me three. The Kodiak bear is a real dick.
Dog pile, me 4!

Note to self (and any other newbie out there)
This bitch who calls herself NICOTINE has an unexpected way of coming back strong and mean on day 8. I hate her. She is cruel and evil. I was having a fine day and WHAM, like a freaking rock and a roundhouse kick to the head, she's there, staring at me, seducing me with her calm and soothing tone "Good Afternoon Ginet, how have you been? I've missed you" It was definitely a Smokey Mountain kind of drive home, a few choice words screamed aloud in my car in-between high volumes of some of my favorite rage tunes. Day 2 violent Ginet was near by........log on......come here......get control......and still quit! Thanks KTC for arming me with knowledge and reminding me to not be a Puss, suck it up and move on and DO it. 'winker'

Yea!!!! Another dental implant! They are so wonderful. Just think about it. Your jaw is basically held open while the tooth you have or the bits of what remained of a tooth, are extracted. OOOOHhh here comes the blood. Then they like to make a nice slice into your bleeding gums to peel them back a bit to get a better look at the path they need to drill through to get into your jaw bone. Don't want them slipping and drilling out of the side of your mouth.

So when the bleeding stops a bit and the drilling path is clear, it's on. Drilling through your gums into your freaking jaw bone with a screw in order to catch bone and keep it in place.

The screw is long enough to hand about a quart of an inch from your gum line once secured into your jawbone.

The temp tooth is molded and adhered so you don't have to walk around like a jack o lantern and you get to come back in two weeks to have a porcelain crown screwed onto the deal.

Now, you can look forward to this if you really want to keep your front teeth, or just go have them pulled and be toothless. You will have to make a decision either way when you choose to use chewing tobacco. No lie.

Hi Emmy. Yes I had this today. Was supposed to be tuesday but got pushed back. ...anyway it was the 5th one and I hope the last one as my mouth heals from my quit. I am sure guys want teeth but a chic MUST have them. I was mortified at the thought of not having a tooth there in the front of my smile. ...damm tobacco use! Hard and expensive lesson but a necessary one indeed. There is a price to pay. This is just one of mine.

I use this Intro thread to keep track of thoughts or situations that come up as my quit continues. Helpful to me, entertaining sometimes, and maybe helpful to someone down the road. Either way, it's a good thing. So, I guess part of the quit is awareness of the destruction of tobacco/nicotine....that point where it finally sinks in, deep in your core, and the shell begins to harden around you to protect you from it. That hit me last night around 2:45 am when of course, I was awake with insomnia again. I literally looked at my husband who was fast asleep and my mind screamed out to him "Please hate Copenhagen (his brand", "Please look at the photos and read the stories" "Please don't die" "Please don't let my 100 day celebration be the same day that you waited too long to stop" And finally, I noted in my intro that "we" have custody of his son, (my step-son). It is actually HE that has custody as the "father" and I legally basically have shit even though I have been mom forever. Therefore, should my husband die while our son is a minor, my son will go back to his birth mother. No, that's not gonna be something that I will let Nicotine take from me! So, needless to say last night was a bit rough. I'm thankful for it though because a dose of reality is all I want. Keep it real. Keep it on track. Keep it going, One day at a time! Here's to a better day 13....lucky 13!

Ginny - glad you're active on your intro. This will be an invaluable tool down the road when you look back at how miserable things were to start. You will realize that as long as it took to get through the suck, once you've reached the other side, the craves don't come as often, the side effects of quitting have mostly subsided, and all in all you're a healthier person, you will marvel at the fact that you had enough gumption to do it once and for all.

You've been a great inspiration to your April 2014 and to many others on the site as well. Keep at it and your quit will ironclad in short order. Proud to be quit with you today.

Ah, the old jedi mind trick while he is sleeping.

I think it happend to me the other night. For some reason I when I woke up on Sunday I didn't feel like going fishing. I could not for the life of me figure out why till now.

Need to change my name from Razd to sleeping with one eye open.

Day 16 - seems longer actually but I think that is because the days don't go as fast as they seemed to go when I was using nicotine. I guess it is like MJ said, "gotta replace one bad habit with one good habit" and everything will come together. Creating a new reality. Maybe it's just another mind trick. The latest mind trick I'm getting from the Nic Bitch is that I "miss her" and that it was "more fun" with her. That is a pretty shitty feeling. It's kinda like breaking up with someone....so used to the day to day stuff that you catch yourself realizing that things are different. It's all good though. 16 days quit is longer than I have ever gone....even combined in 22 years actually from any previous attempts. Anyone from outside KTC or outside the knowledge of this struggle would believe 16 days is a mere 384 hours and a very small portion of life span pretty much equating to no big deal. I and my fellow KTC family get the enormity of 16 days and the very long, suffocating, aching, mentally straining, physically draining and epic intensity that is 384 hours!

Today I am faced with my first "battle" that has actually required planning on my part to feel ready to face it. I Have to drive for 4.5 hours alone!!! Now, I love to drive. I spend a lot of time in my car. I have a sweet system and yes, I use the shit out of it. I will probably be deaf early in life.....what? Huh? Say again? I have nice tint so the world can leave me the hell alone and mind their own business. Low pros and sweet rims to make the ride smooth. All of that is fine. Problem is, I have always chewed. This is where my habit started and it has been my "safe haven" for chew time. I have a bag of seeds, an entire package of gum (the three pack orbit), some grapes in a bag, some carrots, some MM's minis, and a fresh can of Smokey Mountain. Most importantly, a fully charged cell phone with my Quit Buddies numbers. Gotta face this shit head on. See ya tomorrow for Roll!

quitting an addiction is similar to experiencing a death. There are definitely stages and similarities in this process. experiencing anger, sadness, disbelief, etcÂ… you have to give it time, and in time your mind will change. instead of losing a loved one, you'll feel as though you lost an enemy, and thus will be easier to let go in the end. in my eyes the nic bitch is dead, she's no-longer around, and at this point i just don't really care. in time you will feel the same way. peace

And it's good when you realize that you're addicted to dog shit in a can. I was paying for canned dog shit to kill myself with. I could've just went out in my backyard for free dog shit. Good quitting with you Ginet. Sorry for all the dog shit. I'm fired up.

Day 16 - seems longer actually but I think that is because the days don't go as fast as they seemed to go when I was using nicotine.  I guess it is like MJ said, "gotta replace one bad habit with one good habit" and everything will come together. Creating a new reality. Maybe it's just another mind trick. The latest mind trick I'm getting from the Nic Bitch is that I "miss her" and that it was "more fun" with her.  That is a pretty shitty feeling. It's kinda like breaking up with someone....so used to the day to day stuff that you catch yourself realizing that things are different.  It's all good though. 16 days quit is longer than I have ever gone....even combined in 22 years actually from any previous attempts.  Anyone from outside KTC or outside the knowledge of this struggle would believe 16 days is a mere 384 hours and a very small portion of life span pretty much equating to no big deal. I and my fellow KTC family get the enormity of 16 days and the very long, suffocating, aching, mentally straining, physically draining and epic intensity that is 384 hours!

Today I am faced with my first "battle" that has actually required planning on my part to feel ready to face it. I Have to drive for 4.5 hours alone!!!  Now, I love to drive. I spend a lot of time in my car. I have a sweet system and yes, I use the shit out of it. I will probably be deaf early in life.....what?  Huh? Say again? I have nice tint so the world can leave me the hell alone and mind their own business. Low pros and sweet rims to make the ride smooth.  All of that is fine.  Problem is, I have always chewed. This is where my habit started and it has been my "safe haven" for chew time.  I have a bag of seeds, an entire package of gum (the three pack orbit), some grapes in a bag, some carrots, some MM's minis, and a fresh can of Smokey Mountain.  Most importantly, a fully charged cell phone with my Quit Buddies numbers.  Gotta face this shit head on.  See ya tomorrow for Roll!
Good job planning for your drive. Fuck that nic junk dog shit.

Thank you....
Awesome job on having a plan just remember that having a plan is another tool in keeping this nic bitch away from any of us
quitting an addiction is similar to experiencing a death. There are definitely stages and similarities in this process. experiencing anger, sadness, disbelief, etcÂ… you have to give it time, and in time your mind will change. instead of losing a loved one, you'll feel as though you lost an enemy, and thus will be easier to let go in the end. in my eyes the nic bitch is dead, she's no-longer around, and at this point i just don't really care. in time you will feel the same way. peace
And it's good when you realize that you're addicted to dog shit in a can. I was paying for canned dog shit to kill myself with. I could've just went out in my backyard for free dog shit. Good quitting with you Ginet. Sorry for all the dog shit. I'm fired up.
We've all gone through the "missing her" times. It's one of the last really tough things I had to deal with before emerging from the Dark Ages. The truth is, nothing was ever better with her. She made us think that it was so we would continue to use. You, however, have outsmarted her now. You know better than to plug some poison for her benefit. You've got a long full dipless life ahead of you and she's pissed so she's pulling out all the stops.

Stay quit and stay vigilant. Proud to be quit with you today.

16 days = 16 victories in your battle against the former heavyweight champ, Nicotine. Now, you could look at the last 22 years and say that your overall record is now 16 and 8,014. I, on the other hand, prefer to look at it from the perspective that you're undefeated in the last 16 days. Tomorrow, you're going to shoot for 17-0. No matter what nicotine throws at you (i.e. a drive, yard work, watching a movie), you're the new champion. Always. Every Â…DamnÂ….Day.

The only thing you miss is posioning yourself and that's not even "you", that's your brain telling you so. Your brain has been so badly poisioned that it needs re-wiring. That takes time and it's not an easy job. There is much untangling to do, but it can and has been done by many a bad ass on this site.

Replacing one bad habit with one good habit is not a good analogy, because dipping is not a habit, it's an addiction. Biting your nails is a habit.

I too used to "miss my friend". I too used to think it made things better, "funner", cured boredome, and overall made me a happier person.

All bullshit.

Nicotine fills no voids in your life. It creates them.

You don't need to CREATE a new reality, you need to find your old one. Nicotine created a false reality for you. You haven't felt "normal" in years. It's time to come home.

To think that one can't enjoy life to the fullest minus a lip full of cat terd is absurd. Yet I used to think that very way when I quit.

"How can I enjoy a meal without a dip after, how could I possibly go golfing without a lip full, a long drive...without dip???? HELL NO!!! Poker with the boys, gotta have it..."

More bullshit. I've done all those things many times over since I quit and I can tell you with 100% honesty that I enjoy them just as much, if not more, than I did while dipping.

When I really think about it, dipping is one of the most disgusting and boring things a person can do. Sucking on poisonous weeds and then spitting brown juice into a bottle, made my day BETTER? How??? If that's the case how the hell do people who DON'T use nicotine enjoy life? Some of the happiest people I know have never touched nicotine in their life, so how the hell can they be so happy. What's the difference between them and me?

Addiction. I chose to try some dip one day...fell in love with the buzz and became addicted.

Over time though I was catching no buzz. My tongue was sore, my gums felt odd and wore down, my jaw was hurting, and my mouth felt like shit. I would often wonder, "why the fuck am I doing this still???". But I could not stop, I THOUGHT it made things better and that I needed it. Truth once again...I was addicted and dependant on it

"What a fool I used to be..."

So what's my point? You are not alone in the way that you feel. Take comfort in knowing that the cycle can and will be reversed if you stick to the program. Try to see nicotine for the lie that it is. Build some HATE for it rather than romancing it. Take a step back once in awhile and remember why you are quitting, and that life without nicotine is not only possible but natural. Nobody was born with a lip full of Kodiak, nobody needs that shit to roll down the e-way with their system bumpin, behind their tinted windows and just enjoying the ride, enjoying life. Nobody needs to be a slave.

Etch your name onto the ktc rock of quitters.

Its not always easy, but it will always be worth it. I promise.

Sorry so long.

Quit on...

Funny, because just yesterday I was explaining to my wife (on my Day 7) the very "missing it/break-up" analogy you referenced. That's the hardest thing for me now too. My wife thinks these feelings are crazy (and they are, as others have pointed out). But they are also genuine and potent, and it is nice to read that they fade. Hang in there, and stay quit today.

I missed it so much I became depressed. Don't let yourself get there.

A book that really helped me was "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking" by Alan Carr. It was recommended to me by Skoal Monster when I was dealing with the "miss its".

It talks about quitting smoking, but it's mainly a book about dispelling myths about nicotine, and why we really should not miss it.

The book really opened my eyes. I highly suggest it!

Quit on...

I am so sorry, I assumed that I was writing to a guy. My mom would kill me for not knowing my audience.

The blues will fade as long as you stay strong in your quit.

Remember why you quit? I am so glad that I am no longer a slave to nicotine. I am so glad that I don't make excuses. I am so glad that I will not give one penny to US Tobacco. I am so glad that I no longer play russian roulette with a can of tobacco.

I no longer see an empty water bottle and pick it up for a spitoon.

I had the blues too but I stayed close here and never forgot that I quit and knew that I could quit today. More today's came and I kept quitting. My record with KTC is 763 to 0!

I never regret my quit. I love being quit and I don't miss nicotine anymore. I hate nicotine and love to see her lose.

I quit and I am free. The burden of quit is easier than the Burden of ingesting nicotine. Trust me, it is.

And oh how what a difference a few hours can make....yesterday was just fine....pretty much perfect as I can recall. I go to the store to pick up two things. I get to the counter. I say good morning. I hear Nothing. No head bob. No eye contact. Zilch. My items are scanned and I hear "$6.35 cash or credit?" To which I reply "hello, I don't believe we have met. I am your customer which you've failed to recognize. I buy things. You get paid with that money. And you get to be nice to me. I would like to be nice to you too. Shall we start again?" I then hear "sorry ma'am good morning". We proceed to do our exchange of money for goods. The clerk is some 19 or 20 yr old kid. I say "hey buddy do you smoke or chew tobacco.?" He says "no". I say "good to hear bud keep it that way cuz if you don't die from that shit you get to quit and be a totally crab ass old person like me".....to which he smiled......and said "see ya later....have a good day".........

So I go to pick my kiddo up from hockey practice along with his little buddy/teammate. They are 12 and smelly. The gear goes in the back and they jump in the middle seats. They are in mid discussion and barely get a "Hi Ginet" out of their mouths. Chopped liver already! They are discussing some kids in school that use pot and drink their parent's beer and even chew tobacco. So, I jump in and we proceed to discuss how they know that..... did they see it, did they ask them to do it, was it a rumor etc. It goes on and on and I explain how horrible all of it is, how athletes never do that, and on and on..........Then, the conversation goes like this:

My son "Hey Marc, does your dad chew tobacco too?"
Marc "No, I don't think so, but I never asked him"
My son "you don't have to ask him, you can tell by his bad breath"

Ugh....my heart sank. He is talking about his father, my husband! Damn. Now I'm sad, but maybe that will be a good "discussion" to help get his quit going.
I think I will go to bed now. I am SO ready for it to be tomorrow!

Little kids sometimes are so blatantly honest. My father once referred to smoking and ashtrays as "stink and filth" I was about that age in the cub scouts and we were on a field trip to a basball game. The women in the front seat of the car we were driving in was smoking heavily. She shut the ashtray and I blurted out that is was the tray of stink and filth which was true. I am lucky her husband didn't kick me out of the car or hit me. I still can't believe to this day that I would ever say anything like that. I had aleady had my first cig by that time and would later become addicted to them before switching to chew. Looking back I wish I had practiced what I preached.

Live in Buena Vista, born and raised in the Springs. Sisters are a rarity here, but that is the story of my life had two brothers so these guys are just an extinction of the family, and I would be lost with out my brothers, especially diesil and evil, truma to through a few, that can be hard asses but they are the real deal only reason I am sitting at 219. read about the conversation with your kid, tough break hopefully a wake up call for your husband.

Kandice is not a dude, LOL (I remember your hof intro) But she is a BAD ASS quitter, who battled very hard early on but remained undefeated. Even went through a "cold shower" stage if I remember correctly, LOL.

219??? Damn, that seemed fast. Well done!!!

Quit on...

oh man you read my mind, cant wait till we thaw out and the pass reopens, want to get out and get some fishing on the res, nothing beats the relaxation. Not to mention the peace, before we are overtaken by tourists.

HAHA, I know it does seem like 220 has been fast, but the freedom was so worth that battle that I waged early on and am still fighting. Learning now about the sneak attacks. 'crackup'

Today started with an immediate crave at 8:05 am. I just keep reminding myself, that she creeps in and it gets tough, but I had already decided I would need to be tougher from day one. This quit takes focus and dedication. No slowing down or change in attitude. Keep it on the front burner of everything you do. Maybe that changes down the road but in order to get that far, I need to deal with today. Today, I quit. Today, I am on guard. Today I protect this quit guaran damn teed!

It DOES get easier. I PROMISE. These battles that you win now are going to pay off down the road.

It's like a new job. In the beginning you might seem overwhelmed, confused, don't like the way certain things are done, question if you can really do it, and maybe even think of quitting and going back to your old shitty job. Like a whimp would do.

Then, over time you get into a nice grove and remember why you took the new job in the first place, and wonder why you used to think it was so hard. You still might have a shitty day once in awhile, just like you might at work, but they will become waaaay less frequent and much easier to deal with.

Just got to give it time.

Quit on...

This day 19 finds me back at day 2 or 3 . like yesterday exhaustion / insomnia set in , I am sure that you know what im talking about. I want to think of these "reattempts" of the nic Bitch are just the death writhes of a bitch that never dies but just comes back ever so often to let you know she will always be there

Hi Emulator,
Yes, Day 19 and 20 were like that for me. Irritated and really sleepy all day. I guess it is just part of it. Just remember that every day we think is "sucking" or not what we would consider "easier", we need to be reminded of how we put ourselves here in the first place. We have to battle thru for ourselves because no one else is gonna do it for us. Keep in contact with each other and remain strong. Our only option is to "keep on keepin on" and uphold our promise for today. That nic bitch can bring on what she wants for tomorrow, cuz we will deal with her then. We got this today!

Day 23 pretty much has been messed up crap. I found myself doing habitual actions like reaching over to the little shelf in my home office where I would keep my can, and opening my purse's side pouch for my can when I got in the car. The odd thing was I wasn't having a nicotine craving at that time. My hand just "went there"....no need for comments from Dr. Vadge and Coach......I know, I walked into that one and seem to do that a lot. Anyway, that caught me off guard. Why doesn't my body understand that I don't do that anymore? I feel out of sync with the determination and commitment in my heart/head compared to my body's actions. That makes me frustrated. I am so on edge and have been for like 2 days. I am tired too. I also have no patience for anything. I just feel like nothing can be more important that this quit right now. I want to explode and scream at my husband using that damn Copenhagen day after day but I know that will not work. I get pissed that he doesn't value being around for me, but then I know he hasn't read this information and that all of that is MY reaction and MY assumption. I was talking to him and I didn't even hear what he said at some point. I was staring at the Copenhagen in his lip. Just staring at it. Not wanting it. Not hearing him. Just staring. It smelled. There was some in his teeth and some grains on his lip. I realized he had no freaking clue that he had a dip in. He doesn't get it yet. I want to tell my employees to go F themselves for being so damn petty over shit that doesn't matter. Use that energy toward something positive and helpful and leave me alone. Bring me life changing shit or shut up. I hate the weather man on the local station. He always has his chuckle that is truly annoying. See, this is how my day has been going......all over the place, short fused and negative. Ugh. Being positive, I won't have to do today again!

I sympathize with you having a partner that chews, not because you are tempted, but because you are out of sync. All you can do is be an inspiration..

I have to say though with the employee thing, that is right on the damn money.. There were so many times during my quit that I would look at my team and think, what in the f*** is going on in this place? am I the only one who sees this? Maybe I was, Maybe you are, but maybe too its that your mind is staging a little coup because you are winning the war on nic and nic is playing every card it has..

Hang tight there Ginet....in the mid 20s the adrenaline from the start of the quit is dropping, it is this point when you get tested to see if you are learning what we and the site offer, which you are and are passing with flying colors...

Keep Being Strong

And the wandering hand is common for going into places very strange and far....(there not only the good doc and coach can go anywhere with that...though their place may be worse off than others).

you are winning. and quit right with you each day

You have been given great advice so far, even from a fellow female quitter. I had several times like that where my addiction caused habits would come out. Hell I still tap my thumb on my left pocket when I stand up from a seat, because that was my old tin check, now though it hits my HOF coin and I remember that I am quit.

None of us are healed, but us fellow addicts help one another daily when needed. You are slowly making progress, continue to kick ass every day. My suggestion is to put something in those habit locations to use as a reminder that you are quite quit.

Those habits sure are hard to go away. After 1200+ days, I still double check the coke bottle or can to make sure its not a spitter. I guess the impact of taking a big swig several times has left a considerable neural impact. But I still do it.

I also hide my father in laws can. Its funny watching him scratch his head....where'd I leave that damn thing.....

Hang tight there Ginet....in the mid 20s the adrenaline from the start of the quit is dropping, it is this point when you get tested to see if you are learning what we and the site offer, which you are and are passing with flying colors...

Keep Being Strong

And the wandering hand is common for going into places very strange and far....(there not only the good doc and coach can go anywhere with that...though their place may be worse off than others).

you are winning. and quit right with you each day
You have been given great advice so far, even from a fellow female quitter. I had several times like that where my addiction caused habits would come out. Hell I still tap my thumb on my left pocket when I stand up from a seat, because that was my old tin check, now though it hits my HOF coin and I remember that I am quit.

None of us are healed, but us fellow addicts help one another daily when needed. You are slowly making progress, continue to kick ass every day. My suggestion is to put something in those habit locations to use as a reminder that you are quite quit.
Those habits sure are hard to go away. After 1200+ days, I still double check the coke bottle or can to make sure its not a spitter. I guess the impact of taking a big swig several times has left a considerable neural impact. But I still do it.

I also hide my father in laws can. Its funny watching him scratch his head....where'd I leave that damn thing.....
"G" your one of a kind. Your at the top of the heap on your quit. Sure it sucks, it sucks really hard, "G" your much stronger than nicotine. I know it, most of all You know it. You save me every day "G". ... Shout out loud Fuck you Nic Bitch.... for your RESOLUTE BASTARD BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

I am finding that I have very short fuse with the general public.

Today, the lady handed me my coffee cup and the cup was sticky (from chocolate drizzle) and said "you will probably want to hold the cup with this napkin on it because I couldn't get all of the chocolate off" and SNAP, I'm pissed. I hand it back to her and tell her, not ask her, for a new clean cup for my coffee. My husband told me that "we are not THOSE people Ginet"

Then, I had to stop at Walmart to get 8 things. 8 lousy things. One item was in the cosmetics area and a worker stops me to tell me that I need to pay for that item at the register in the cosmetics department that has now been set up in that section. WTF???? I asked her to repeat that because I was sure I didn't hear correctly. Yes, I needed to pay for the item in the cosmetics area. I handed the item to her, asked her to hold it and I told her I would go get my other 7 items and then come back to pay for all of it. She told me "I'm not set up to ring up other items" to which I SNAPPED the reply "and I am not set up to pay at multiple registers in the same store!"

Wow. I don't complain about my quit. I got myself into this shit and I get to deal with all of the shit that goes along with my quit. I am NOT this Asshole of a Person. What is going on. I'd like to complain about my attitude! Irritated.....

Hello Trollop,
I think we all get to snap, true we brought on our craves by starting with nic in the first place. But in certain situations we deserve out snaps. I have snapped at the coffee ladies/men. I remember a time I ordered a large coffee with 3 cream and 2 sugar, pretty simple right. I was given an extra large with 3 cream 2 sugar; I said I ordered a large. I was told so you got an extra large so your getting a deal, that is beside the point. I asked for a large, the girl proceeds to pour the extra large into a large cup, then gives it to me; here now you have a large.
I snapped no your not getting it I ordered a large, large. She doesn't get it, a large. I am sure most people would get it.
It is okay to snap in the right situation.

You will do this one day at at a time. You screwed your brain for years,, I say again YEARS!! I'll let you add the days up on your own. You'll probably need a calculator. I say that to say this,,, 26 days is just the beginning. I didn't begin feeling better until about 40 days in. Maybe you will be different though,, you never no. In time you will start to feel better and begin feeling somewhat normal. What is normal exactly!?!? Your guess is as good as mine.

There is a door you need to get to. This door is hard to get to and open. I can't tell you how far the door is or how long it will be before you get to this door. Keep your head pointed forward and make your way to the door. Nothing in back of you but a smelly good for nothing can of poison. Life is so much better without the poison. Glad to be quit with you.

In time you'll begin dealing with individuals with a better and new you. You'll be surprised with the new you. The new you will handle people and situations better than ever. Give it time ginet. You got this. Quit with you today.

Most people don't even realize they are acting like a jerk... you at least recognize that you have an issue. That is 90% of the battle. Knowing that -- you can take steps to fix it.

Early on, I found that I needed to really concentrate on my behavior around my family and out in public. I had to slow things down and breathe a lot when confronted with stressful scenarios. I also had to count to 10 a lot. Get on the site to vent, or reach out to folks via txt to vent. Try to redirect the steam!

Today at 215 days I still have moments... but that is life. Just never forget that stuffing your face with dip wont fix this. You got to hold your quit and trust us that it will get better with time.

QUit on!

I always had a short fuse, during my first 150 days of quit it was worse than ever. I fought back the angst for that long, then I had one moment where I absolutely lost it and let it out.

I wish I was smart enough to have held it in but I can say since that day, I have not had the angst or the short fuse attached to a whole bundle of explosive.

Like Derk40 stated it does get better. Find some sort of vent outlet for your own good. A good physical activity or perhaps some act of caring for others well beyond the normal routine of kids or family to see if that helps.

I really am not seeing that you are doing anything hugely wrong. You asked for a cup of coffee with the expectation that it will be done correctly and that you will pay for it to be done correctly. When it comes out half assed and the freakin barista aka coffee pourer with a cool name makes it my issue to fix her mess because she obviously is too high of a skilled occupation for her it pisses me off.

As for Wal-Mart you asked for that one a person needs to be on ludes to keep from choking the living shit out of about everyone there.

But really I was poking fun at the above I feel you since I have been quit I find myself not willing to slide things no matter how trivial. I think it may be because I am an asshole or that I know what I have come through with this quit and followed the KTC rules and I am not willing to cut anyone else slack to get a simple task right.

IDK if it gets better out around 300-400 or I will always be this way....who knows. Point is you are quit and if a few people get bit in the ass along the way too bad. Keep posting +1's.

PM me if you need anything

That's my fear is finding out that I have to choose between being an asshole whose quit or a dippin' smoothie. Same choice I had between being a drunk fun person or a sober knot on a log at parties.

Here I sit, an asshole knot on a log who doesn't dip or drink. Hear me ROAR! 'oh yeah'

Ginet,
Here's my take on this interesting thread. Since we are quit, we are holding ourselves to incredibly tough levels of personal accountability. And since we've been achieving our goals of staying quit through sheer toughness, teamwork, and grit...we also have developed a (perhaps unreasonable) expectation that everyone around us should also be as disciplined and strong as we are. Wrong. They are weak, and they are losers because they don't have discipline in their everyday tasks.

Because you are a quitter, you are stronger and have no patience for the weak. There is nothing wrong with that. Embrace the feeling that you are in a way actually "superior" to them because you are conquering something that is so much more significant than anything they could ever face. They will never be as strong as you. Let it go at that.

Controversial, maybe, but's it's the way I felt when I quit alcohol 12 years ago. I look at heavy drinkers and say to myself. Been there, done that, don't want it no more. I look at them and also say...I've graduated beyond that to a higher level of personal conduct, a higher level of personal care for my body and mind, and achieved a determination that has no equal. And that exact same feeling came back 27 days ago when I quit chew. It actually can fuel your quit, and make you even more resolute...

I think Zillah has a point, you ARE engaged in something tougher and requiring more discipline than many. However that doesn't automatically give us a pass to be asses to others, particularly those close to us. This early in your quit you are going to rage, most do. It is your body and brain's way of dealing with getting cut off a powerful addictive drug. Rage in here, we've all been there and can take it. Practice patience and self-control (same discipline needed to quit) with others as much as possible. It will get easier, much of that rage will go away. However I still have to battle getting pissed when others simply are not trying very hard at whatever they do. Frankly I'm not sure that is a bad thing to have higher expectations, but rarely does it do any good to snap on someone.

You both are right. I am invested in a powerful quit. Part of guarding it is not letting these situations get to me....remain calm, keep on keepin' on. I will just move up from 3 days of kickboxing to 5 to help with that part and will need to really pick my battles. I got this! Gotta go get another glass of KoolAide....

I have been on vacation for all of 2014. Yes, I have/had that much vacation. I go back to work on Monday and have never been at work dip free (for my ninja dips). Anyway, all I can do is bring my numbers with me and my laptop or tablet in order to log on there since I can't from the secure networks....definitely forbidden. I rely on this place and having access to it. If I have your number, your phone may blow up next week as I adjust to it if I can't get into to chat to scream. One day at a time and Monday isn't today...

I wouldn't be surprised if the new and improved Ginet steps into her job and says to herself, "work is so much easier now that I don't have to worry about finding a way to dip." Time to start looking at these former dip triggers as minor speed bumps that don't slow your quit down. You crushed it on that long drive early on in your quit, this is nothing compared to that...you got this.

That ^^^^ about sums it up ginet. Just be prepared,, make sure you have plenty of candies, seeds, fake, whatever you got to have to get through the day. I told one other and i'll tell you the same. You can't beat it until you face it.

You will be surprised how easy it gets day after day. I use to think that dipping helped me with work. It helped me stay awake. It helped me in stressful situations. What a load of bullsh-- that turned out to be. I handle work better than ever now. I can't believe how different I feel now that the poison isn't part of the problem. When you get a chance watch the people that are still using. I know you are early in your quit, but take a good look at someone using. There must be one at work that you know that uses. Watch how they act when they begin needing their fix. It's sad!

You already are ahead of the game now. You have quit so you will not have to get that fix. One problem gone! Believe me, you just made work easier. One less problem you have to deal with everyday. You got this,, stop worrying. You made it this far, and if I can do it you can bet you can. Your no different. We're both addicts, but we don't have to be controlled anymore. Quit with you today.

It's starting to come together for me. It's my perspective that is off. Changing that will strengthen my quit. Changing that will help me help someone else.

So, while I woke up this morning wanting a dip even before my feet hit the floor, I went and posted roll. Staggering into the shower still fighting her off, I knew it was going to be one of those "run the hot water line until its gone" showers. Focus. Fight.

Then it clicked. All of the positive feedback I get in here from people that freaking GET IT and turning my thinking around along with all the time I have wasted in this shower with a dip in.........finally came together. Change my perspective!

My husband gets home tomorrow and there will be a long dip free shower until the hot water runs out with him. Spinning it around Nic Bitch!

That's my plan for tomorrow, now I gotta go deal with today.

Borrowing from Coach "QLF"...... cuz I dig it.

When one door closes another opens. This new door is the pathway to freedom. There will still be some forks in the road but with the tools you learn here you can choose the right path.

Another analogy used often here is burning your boats, do a search on that here on the forums for a little in depth reading. That helped my perspective.

I won't lie Ginet.....Monday is going to SUCK - get ready. I would ninja dip at work and that still is one of my BIGGEST triggers even to this day. Get some fake or what ever and strap that bra up extra tight........prep work - mental prep work will help but get some tools and i mean multiple physical tools to work thru during the day - gum, toothpicks, fake, fireballs, whatever.......you are going to relive those first few days of re-learning to do things without a dip - that's the difficult part - to get thru each task wondering how the hell it's all going to work out without your focus partner in crime nicotine but remember, you can get thru it, you've already re-learned daily life at home without it so it can be done and you my sister can do it.

That's the way to do it!
You can focus on the cravings, the longings, the familiar and comfort. You can continue to harbor romantisized feelings for your dip. All of those things strengthen nic's grip, or at least allow her to hang.
Or you can remind yourself why you want to be quit and realize all of those addict excuses are just that, addict excuses. Burn the bridges/boats, lock the doors! Systematically take away all of those handholds and your quit gets much easier.

Hey Em,

I crushed it. The morning was fine because I was all about maintaining and quitting strong. The afternoon however sucked balls! LOL Time just stopped around 1 and creeped until about 6 when I left. I had to continuously work through it and battle but I did. I would say "I don't F-ing chew anymore" to myself about 20 times and ate the shit out of some gum and candy. I was able to talk to Cowgirl too so that helped and took a ten minute break to go out and use my phone to get onto chat and recharge. All in all, crushed it! Quit with you today!

Atta girl. It will get less sucky as time passes. It's all part of the process. Re learning how to do something you have done for a long time. Sounds goofy doesn't it?

I remember the first time the phone rang at work after I quit. I looked at it like it was a 5 ton dumbbell. I was scared shitless to pick it up. As if dipping gave me confidence to talk on the phone? How fucking stupid is that.

Way to crush it. I have no doubts you will continue to do so.

Quit on...

Good job g. I drive for a living and thought at one time, how in the world am i going to drive without the poison.?.? Well after i figured out that i didn't need it/have to have, things got easier daily.

I use to think the vehicle/*srans wouldn't run right, but the truth was the vehicle didn't need it. Pop the hood to your car/person and you'll not find one place designated for the poison. We have been mixing water in our oil.

The same applies to you're job. Remember, all that we believed about the poison is a lie. The truth was hidden, we just needed help finding it. We are addicts, we don't need it, NEVER DID! Glad to be quit with you.

Day 39 / 1940.08 miles of a road trip complete.

Sister in tow: who is deaf and needs to read my lips most of the time. I only realized on this trip that she looked at my lips directly for years while I had a dip in. How gross. I am sooooo sorry Sister. I never ever thought about it. She didn't believe me at first when I picked her up and told her I am quit. She was actually looking in my glove box and the console for the Kodiak and only saw seeds, gum and smokey mountain. (she's the sister that knew obviously)

Funeral: sad, sad, sad, but we made it thru. "Taps" gets me every time! Waterworks! What a large and loving family I have! Too bad I didn't spend more time with them when I lived there instead of cutting the family get together short so I could hit the car and get my fix. Note to fathers and I guess mothers out there that are not very "emotionally skilled". Cry once in a while in front of your kids, it you are sad be sad, talk about it....don't just show emotion when you are upset with your kids. As a 40 yr old women that has now just witnessed my father cry for the first time, it really fucks you up actually.

Small town USA: how cute you are for 20 minutes. Then, I am reminded why I graduated high school and left for Miami. I am not your news story. I am not interested in telling you about my life. If I wanted to stay in touch with you, you would have my number and know my husband and I may be at your home tonight instead of my old bedroom at Mom's. Move on with your life as I have mine. There is a whole bunch of awesome shit out here in the world.

Winter weather: again, reminded of why I hate snow. White knuckles at times, and cursing the semi driver that goes 80 in a 65 and creates the whitewash that blinds me while in a curve.....Hello....I have a quit going here!

All in all, very happy to be home, to be quit and to have taken on this tough ride because not only can I say that I did my first road trip in 22 years....dip free. More than just saying it, I KNOW I CAN DO IT. Proven. Understood. Learned behavior. Accepted reality. Quit is Quit.

Cry once in a while in front of your kids, it you are sad be sad, talk about it....don't just show emotion when you are upset with your kids. As a 40 yr old women that has now just witnessed my father cry for the first time, it really fucks you up actually.

Small town USA: how cute you are for 20 minutes. Then, I am reminded why I graduated high school and left for Miami. I am not your news story. I am not interested in telling you about my life. If I wanted to stay in touch with you, you would have my number and know my husband and I may be at your home tonight instead of my old bedroom at Mom's. Move on with your life as I have mine. There is a whole bunch of awesome shit out here in the world.

Winter weather: again, reminded of why I hate snow. White knuckles at times, and cursing the semi driver that goes 80 in a 65 and creates the whitewash that blinds me while in a curve.....Hello....I have a quit going here!

All in all, very happy to be home, to be quit and to have taken on this tough ride because not only can I say that I did my first road trip in 22 years....dip free. More than just saying it, I KNOW I CAN DO IT. Proven. Understood. Learned behavior. Accepted reality. Quit is Quit.
Condolences Ginet. You are rocking this even in difficult times. Quit on!!! Day 40 tomorrow....awesome!

Day 39 / 1940.08 miles of a road trip complete.

Sister in tow: who is deaf and needs to read my lips most of the time. I only realized on this trip that she looked at my lips directly for years while I had a dip in.  How gross. I am sooooo sorry Sister. I never ever thought about it. She didn't believe me at first when I picked her up and told her I am quit. She was actually looking in my glove box and the console for the Kodiak and only saw seeds, gum and smokey mountain. (she's the sister that knew obviously)

Funeral: sad, sad, sad, but we made it thru. "Taps" gets me every time! Waterworks! What a large and loving family I have!  Too bad I didn't spend more time with them when I lived there instead of cutting the family get together short so I could hit the car and get my fix.

I feel so sorry and so proud of you at the same time.

First your sister had to be so proud of you!! I am.. She must have been thrilled when she didn't find any hidden cans in your vehicle.

Thinking about watching your father cry brings a tear to my eye.. Your heart had to be breaking for him..

Great job making it through all this without the "crutch" of tobacco.. I hope new quitters are coming in here and reading this.. Long road trip, huge triggers, super highly emotional time, and your quit is as strong as it ever was.. Good job girl.

Thanks fellas.

So Emulator and I text quite a bit. We are 72 hours apart on our quit, but solid quit buddies. This is our conversation as he is on day 50:

Me - Proud of you (insert real name)
Emulator - Well then you can't cave
Me- Never. This is who I am now. It's not on the table. It's not an option.

and then blows me away with this: Thanks Ginet, I'm following your lead!

Damn.
Another reason to remain quit..... Emulator needs my support as much as I need his. Can't risk that bond. Can't break that trust. Can't fail that honor.

Toughest day so far! We sold our rental home and our tenant is in China for work. Our tenant is our friend, but we had to pack up all of his shit and rent a U Haul and get it into a storage place he set up. After all that loading and driving etc, we get to the storage site and open the door, plan out where we will put everything and my husband packs his lip. Right there within 3 feet of me. That was the first time since I quit that I actually wanted it. For 2.5 seconds I really wanted it. I went to the cab of the truck, into my purse and got my smokey mountain. I used half a can of smokey mountain in about 4 hours. Damn I hated today. I went from one day at a time to minute by minute again. That's okay. Whatever I have to do. I can adjust. QLF Thanks KO for talking tonight. You are a rock star!

Great job G. Way to resist and smart of you to have the SM near in case of emergency. It keeps getting easier and surprises like that in the future won't be so harsh. Hang in there. Your doing great. And I would also imagine that your example is planting seeds in your husband. Proud to be quit with you.

That's bad ass! Sometimes we have to go back to minute by minute. After this much time though you at least have an arsenal of tools that I'm sure made it easier then when you first quit. We have our bad days / moments, but we are becoming well equipped to deal with them. Well done!

I used half a can of smokey mountain in about 4 hours.  Damn I hated today.  I went from one day at a time to minute by minute again.  That's okay. Whatever I have to do. I can adjust. QLF  Thanks KO for talking tonight. You are a rock star!
There have been time that each of us had to take it minute by minute. You won the day and that is what counts. ODAAT. You are a Bad Ass Quitter BAQ..
Yinet, you are winning girl!!! I had a day like that on day 42. I went therough a hole can of smokey mtn that day. Im glad you did what you did, you did right and in my opinion those days that we beat like that, ARE HUGE. You made my quit stronger today reading that. Thanks for shareing !!

Every victory is just that....a win over the nic bitch and another day of freedom!! Kick ass girl!!
'BanDog' like fuck
Nice win Ginet. Sometimes it will be whatever you need to do to get past this moment. I imagine you are working on your husband to join KTC?
Guys suck.

Toughest day so far!  We sold our rental home and our tenant is in China for work. Our tenant is our friend, but we had to pack up all of his shit and rent a U Haul and get it into a storage place he set up.

I am just not ready to be without a can of smokey mountain around. As shitty as it is, it has kept me quit when it has been rough. I stopped at Smoker Friendly today to get it. For those who don't know what that shit store is, imagine a place about half the size of a 7 11 with every wall lined with cans of tobacco, cigarettes, cigars, pipes, it never ends. There is one wall dedicated to the pot smoker, rolling papers, etc. There is a single cooler with water, soda and unsweetened tea, and some munchies for the pot heads I guess, including sunflower seeds.

It was tough to go in earlier in my quit. Now I don't even see anything. I'm in and then out like fuck. Today, the cashier who knows I am quit, said she saw me pull up and had a can of SM ready along with a bag of seeds.

That's what I'm talking about!!!!

Suck it Nic Bitch!!!

Nice work Ginet. You've successfully shifted the 'customer service' aspect of your former death dealer to to yet another layer of quit protection and accountability.

I had a similar experience at the QT I used to stop at (like twice a week to pick up a sleeve of Kodiak). Despite being a busy gas station, all the cashiers in there knew me and usually started reaching for that shit as soon as we made eye contact. Told them I quit a few weeks back. Now I just have a smile and a pack of icebreaker mints waiting for me.

Good stuff.

These are great success stories. Fight the power!

Not to get all negative, but these damned tobacco companies are actively preying on us with the full blown assistance of our complicit government. And there is not a damn thing we can do about it except choose not to use. And convince our children not to touch the shit.

Anyway, great job. You are no longer a slave.

Atta Girl. You will prolly sooner or later lose the need for SM. most do. I could never use it. too much like the real thing for me. I do still occasionally tear up a coffee straw or two though.

Ginet,

My experience with Smokey Mountain went something like this:

Day 1-10 Was using it 1-2 times a day.
Day 11-30 Down to about once a day
Day 31-50 Would only use Smokey Mountain after drinking too many beers
Day 51-75 Carried the can in my pocket every where at all times but found I didn't really want it
Day 76ish I no longer carry the can, but there is always a can at the house for emergencies! Some day I hope to not even need to have the emergency can around, but not yet!


I'm sure we all have our own schedule but at some point you will go without it I'm sure!

Well, Miss G had a few too many last night. Not stupid drunk...gave that up a long time ago.... but enough to know I wasn't driving and still needed to protect my quit. Despite the fact that I didn't plan for one less hour of sleep. ...oh my head....there were two awesome things that happened. I did speak to two of my April quitters last night and once they knew I was drinking, they basically stayed with me via text until I got home. Luv them! Thing is...I shouldn't have put them in the position of worrying about me. I have an agreement with them that I have to call and ask for permission to use.....and you know they won't provide that. I have a long list if people I have to call prior to using. I will not put myself in the position to need to dial those numbers. Thanks Pp and KO!

On day 7 I told my girlfriend about my tobacco use and my quit. She was in such shock...but has stood by me everyday since. She asked me to talk to her husband....told her why it won't work...blah blah. I did however plant the seed that evening. I waited until I saw him put a fatty in and told him exactly what I told his wife. He said "I would have never known!" I responded with, "you would have when I showed up one day with half of my jaw missing" and walked away. Cold bitch. I know. I don't puss around. Guess who bought me yet another beer and came to talk to me about quitting last night?

Good day 70! QLF

Good Plan there G. Some day I will have to take an evening or weekend to relax. Its good to know that you can take the time to relax and have friends as wingmen for your quit. I have not drank for fun since college and that has been a few years ago. I guess that I turned into Mr. Responsible when the kids came along.( Except for the addiction problem). Maybe I will celebrate the HOF . Who knows, but glad you had a good time and was able to help others while safely relaxing. I am sure that the KTC friends did not mind a bit to make sure you were ok till you got home :) . Guess thats what we will have to do for each other from now on.... ODAAT brother "G". I quit with you today,\.

I will always be there to talk to no matter how many you have had. This is my understanding of how things work on here. Everyone on here is family to each other. Just return the favor when I need your help. Your quit is important to me as it makes my quit stronger.

I am Ginet. I am a female nicotine addict. I have been using Kodiak wintergreen for 22 years, close enough to a can per day. I have been quit five days as of this post. I was planning on starting my quit on New Years Day...probably like a lot people, and was searching this site to check out the info and chat room for support with my nic patch on and my plan ready for Jan 1st. I met a lot of great people right away and was informed almost immediately that the patch on my arm is not quit. I listened and watched as people carried on their conversations for about an hour and then left the room. My entire plan of what I thought would work starting Jan 1st was wrong. Maybe wrong is not the right word, but I already knew my plan wasn't going to be the best plan for me to quit and stay quit. I filled my can with water and took it out to the trash can in the alley. (Yes, I should have flushed it because yes, as about hour 10 rolled around and I really thought going out to dig that can out of the trash was an okay idea! But I didn't. I stayed quit.) I took the nic patch off of my arm and washed all of the sticky crap off and logged back on. MN_Ben was there again and I told him what had happened and he was the first to welcome me and quit with me. It has been nothing but support from every single person that I've met. I love this place and would not be quit without it. I already know this.

I know my story is not any less or more important than anyone else's. I mentioned that I was female right away only for other females to see it and keep reading. I was always so afraid of what people would say if they knew I chewed. To a chic, "that is so gross" translates to "YOU are so gross". We all know females are wired differently. My husband and my sister are the only people that know. Can you imagine going 22 years and not even your closest buddies know you chew? What a secret. What a burden. What a bitch! My sister thinks I am "dumb" and has told me so many times. My husband also chews. This is my biggest obstacle. I am focusing on me and my quit. I won't pester him and push him but I do plan to leave this site open one day with a few choice articles and posts for him to see. We have talked about quitting several times. Problem is we only "talk about it". And then there is my step son that we actually have custody of. I would NEVER let him know I dipped. I would drive to his sporting event separately in my car so I could chew. He would ask me to play hockey and be the goalie (which hurts by the way) or play Xbox but I would put it off for a few minutes and say I had to change out the laundry or take a shower first so I could chew. Really? Who does this? An addict does. I have been in a high ranking position for awhile and have managed to avoid going to lunch with fellow co-workers because I didn't want to drive with them anywhere to get food so I could go myself in my car and chew. What the hell is wrong with me? I hate those things. I even hate that one time I thought I was actually "cool" because some dude rodeo stud (NOT) thought he would make me puke and look like a fool by betting $100 that I could not dip his Copenhagen and last 15 minutes. I won. Why was I proud of that? Just plain stupid and now embarrassing for sure.

Why did I quit? I stopped fooling myself. I stopped letting my "reasons" and "cravings" dictate my actions, my thoughts, my life. It's beyond the money wasted. It's beyond digging in the trash for the empty Gatorade bottle my kid just tossed so I can use that in my car. It's beyond worrying about what someone might say. It's about knowing it can kill me. I know what can happen. I am not stupid. I only made a stupid decision. I have a lot to live for. I now have a lot of support. hank you MN_Ben, Suds, Roam, cmark and TxTornado just to name a few. I'm quit.
Ginet- A special congrats on your buck fifty... I quit with you today all over again....Em

It's beyond digging in the trash for the empty Gatorade bottle my kid just tossed so I can use that in my car. It's beyond worrying about what someone might say. It's about knowing it can kill me. I know what can happen. I am not stupid. I only made a stupid decision. I have a lot to live for. I now have a lot of support. hank you MN_Ben, Suds, Roam, cmark and TxTornado just to name a few. I'm quit.
Ginet- A special congrats on your buck fifty... I quit with you today all over again....Em
150! Grats, G!
Nice 150 Lady G!
Awesome Ginet!
Congrats Ginet.... Way to rock the quit!!!
150, outstanding!
I love this, congrats!

I am Ginet. I am a female nicotine addict. I have been using Kodiak wintergreen for 22 years, close enough to a can per day. I have been quit five days as of this post. I was planning on starting my quit on New Years Day...probably like a lot people, and was searching this site to check out the info and chat room for support with my nic patch on and my plan ready for Jan 1st. I met a lot of great people right away and was informed almost immediately that the patch on my arm is not quit. I listened and watched as people carried on their conversations for about an hour and then left the room. My entire plan of what I thought would work starting Jan 1st was wrong. Maybe wrong is not the right word, but I already knew my plan wasn't going to be the best plan for me to quit and stay quit. I filled my can with water and took it out to the trash can in the alley. (Yes, I should have flushed it because yes, as about hour 10 rolled around and I really thought going out to dig that can out of the trash was an okay idea! But I didn't. I stayed quit.) I took the nic patch off of my arm and washed all of the sticky crap off and logged back on. MN_Ben was there again and I told him what had happened and he was the first to welcome me and quit with me. It has been nothing but support from every single person that I've met. I love this place and would not be quit without it. I already know this.

I know my story is not any less or more important than anyone else's. I mentioned that I was female right away only for other females to see it and keep reading. I was always so afraid of what people would say if they knew I chewed. To a chic, "that is so gross" translates to "YOU are so gross". We all know females are wired differently. My husband and my sister are the only people that know. Can you imagine going 22 years and not even your closest buddies know you chew? What a secret. What a burden. What a bitch! My sister thinks I am "dumb" and has told me so many times. My husband also chews. This is my biggest obstacle. I am focusing on me and my quit. I won't pester him and push him but I do plan to leave this site open one day with a few choice articles and posts for him to see. We have talked about quitting several times. Problem is we only "talk about it". And then there is my step son that we actually have custody of. I would NEVER let him know I dipped. I would drive to his sporting event separately in my car so I could chew. He would ask me to play hockey and be the goalie (which hurts by the way) or play Xbox but I would put it off for a few minutes and say I had to change out the laundry or take a shower first so I could chew. Really? Who does this? An addict does. I have been in a high ranking position for awhile and have managed to avoid going to lunch with fellow co-workers because I didn't want to drive with them anywhere to get food so I could go myself in my car and chew. What the hell is wrong with me? I hate those things. I even hate that one time I thought I was actually "cool" because some dude rodeo stud (NOT) thought he would make me puke and look like a fool by betting $100 that I could not dip his Copenhagen and last 15 minutes. I won. Why was I proud of that? Just plain stupid and now embarrassing for sure.

Thanks CavMan. That's awful nice of you to say......and I appreciate it. I always keep the thought of "what if MN_Ben, Jbrad, string, trout, suds and cmark were too busy to come to chat the night they helped me quit and post roll....where would I be?" Just always reach out like you are CavMan. Evil_Won would say "you can't save them all", but taking the time to at least try is what matters. You may be that one hand that someone reaches out for and accepts. I'm good with that.

Thanks for the LF bananas Coach. I always love those damn things.

Hey Ginet, I know I'm sort of stealing this idea from Done4, but I wanted to give you a shout out for helping so many new quitters. I don't think this site has ever seen the influx of women that we have in the last month and the advice you have given each of them has been outstanding. Way better than the rest of us cro-magnons who have given our usual "Be a Badass!" Pitch. Not to pigeon hole you too much because I know you also give great advice to men as well. So keep being a badass Ginet!

To the very FIRST quitter on this site who reached out to me (and yes I did think it a bit strange at first)...to echo DaGranger.... Not only have you been instrumental in helping our sister-quitters, you were very helpful early on in my quit. For that, I will be ever grateful. Thanks G...you rock!

Thank you very much. The best advice for either sex is to just keep that shit out of your mouth!

...when in doubt, quit like a girl.

Day 393. My quit is strong today. Several people around me spent the day packing their lip, one dip after another. I heard addict speak like "I will quit when the price goes up to $6 bucks because that is way too much money". I heard a person wanting to buy an e-Cig cuz they decided its better than smoking cigarettes. I even saw a person post a Day One here.

I watched those people around me snap the can, grab a pinch and stuff their lips. Then adjust the chaw just right with their tongue. Some spit in a use beer can, one in a bottle, another in a trash can and yet another in the sink. I smiled because it wasn't me. I am not them. I am quit.

I listened to the statement about the price of the can. I know I am an addict. They do not. They don't know what I know. I know I would continue to pay ten dollars for a can if that was the price because I am an addict. I grinned because that wasn't me. I am not them. I am quit.

I was sad to hear that one person thought an e-cig was a good idea. Not understanding how it is only a different delivery system with other risks not yet fully known. They aren't educated like I am about this now. I was thankful that wasn't me. I am not them. I am quit.

I was excited to see the post of day one in May 2015. All the emotions came flooding back to me of my day one. The beginning of the rest of my life they called it. The best decision I will ever make another echoed. Welcome to the suck they typed.

That's when I accepted it. That is me. All of it is me. I did the same. I thought the same. I lived the same. The only difference is, I'm quit. Never forget that you are an addict.....in whatever form your education, hard work, and dedication to others may be......you are still that addict.

That's when I accepted it. That is me. All of it is me. I did the same. I thought the same. I lived the same. The only difference is, I'm quit. Never forget that you are an addict.....in whatever form your education, hard work, and dedication to others may be......you are still that addict.

Day 393. My quit is strong today. Several people around me spent the day packing their lip, one dip after another. I heard addict speak like "I will quit when the price goes up to $6 bucks because that is way too much money". I heard a person wanting to buy an e-Cig cuz they decided its better than smoking cigarettes. I even saw a person post a Day One here.

I watched those people around me snap the can, grab a pinch and stuff their lips. Then adjust the chaw just right with their tongue. Some spit in a use beer can, one in a bottle, another in a trash can and yet another in the sink. I smiled because it wasn't me. I am not them. I am quit.

I listened to the statement about the price of the can. I know I am an addict. They do not. They don't know what I know. I know I would continue to pay ten dollars for a can if that was the price because I am an addict. I grinned because that wasn't me. I am not them. I am quit.

I am Ginet. I am a female nicotine addict. I have been using Kodiak wintergreen for 22 years, close enough to a can per day. I have been quit five days as of this post. I was planning on starting my quit on New Years Day...probably like a lot people, and was searching this site to check out the info and chat room for support with my nic patch on and my plan ready for Jan 1st. I met a lot of great people right away and was informed almost immediately that the patch on my arm is not quit. I listened and watched as people carried on their conversations for about an hour and then left the room. My entire plan of what I thought would work starting Jan 1st was wrong. Maybe wrong is not the right word, but I already knew my plan wasn't going to be the best plan for me to quit and stay quit. I filled my can with water and took it out to the trash can in the alley. (Yes, I should have flushed it because yes, as about hour 10 rolled around and I really thought going out to dig that can out of the trash was an okay idea! But I didn't. I stayed quit.)  I took the nic patch off of my arm and washed all of the sticky crap off and logged back on.  MN_Ben was there again and I told him what had happened and he was the first to welcome me and quit with me.  It has been nothing but support from every single person that I've met. I love this place and would not be quit without it.  I already know this.

I know my story is not any less or more important than anyone else's. I mentioned that I was female right away only for other females to see it and keep reading.  I was always so afraid of what people would say if they knew I chewed. To a chic, "that is so gross" translates to "YOU are so gross".  We all know females are wired differently.  My husband and my sister are the only people that know.  Can you imagine going 22 years and not even your closest buddies know you chew?  What a secret. What a burden. What a bitch! My sister thinks I am "dumb" and has told me so many times. My husband also chews.  This is my biggest obstacle.  I am focusing on me and my quit. I won't pester him and push him but I do plan to leave this site open one day with a few choice articles and posts for him to see.  We have talked about quitting several times.  Problem is we only "talk about it". And then there is my step son that we actually have custody of.  I would NEVER let him know I dipped.  I would drive to his sporting event separately in my car so I could chew. He would ask me to play hockey and be the goalie (which hurts by the way) or play Xbox but I would put it off for a few minutes and say I had to change out the laundry or take a shower first so I could chew.  Really?  Who does this? An addict does. I have been in a high ranking position for awhile and have managed to avoid going to lunch with fellow co-workers because I didn't want to drive with them anywhere to get food so I could go myself in my car and chew.  What the hell is wrong with me?  I hate those things. I even hate that one time I thought I was actually "cool" because some dude rodeo stud (NOT) thought he would make me puke and look like a fool by betting $100 that I could not dip his Copenhagen and last 15 minutes.  I won. Why was I proud of that?  Just plain stupid and now embarrassing for sure.

Why did I quit? I stopped fooling myself. I stopped letting my "reasons" and "cravings" dictate my actions, my thoughts, my life. It's beyond the money wasted. It's beyond digging in the trash for the empty Gatorade bottle my kid just tossed so I can use that in my car.  It's beyond worrying about what someone might say. It's about knowing it can kill me.  I know what can happen. I am not stupid. I only made a stupid decision. I have a lot to live for. I now have a lot of support. hank you MN_Ben, Suds, Roam, cmark and TxTornado just to name a few.   I'm quit.
Love this.
Self realization... Seeing the truth of how our addiction colors our life is HUGE! You know this already but I'll repeat it... You're not alone. We have been where you are , done the things you have done, rationalized our use the same way, put off meetings to get a last dip in, on and on and on...

Can't stress this enough... Get involved here. Post your roll everyday, get to know people, read everything you can. It'll keep you quit. It'll save your life. Proud to quit with you sis ~ welcome to freedom. It's pretty damn cool.

That's a damn fine intro, honest! All those things we did to get extra chew time are typical addict actions. I'll quit with you everyday!
That's some good shit right there. Eye opening stuff.

Welcome.
Great read. You were blind and now you see. It keeps getting better an better. Great job. Proud to quit with you.
Welcome to being quit. Im bout a month in front of you in the march group. My neighbors of the last 4 years just found out I've been chewing. They had no idea. I was a master ninja dipper.
Welcome to your quit. Proud to quit with you today.
Awesome to see the lightbulb go off and a cannonball into the quit koolaid.

Welcome G, Lets get the quit on!
This is the best intro I've read in awhile. I was doing so many of the same things that you were doing to get one more dip in without anybody knowing. "Ninja dipping" was a rush all in itself so as not to get caught. I shudder to think what would have happened if anybody would have found out (not even the wife knew), but I'm glad they didn't. The reason being, if somebody had found out and "forced" me to quit, I don't know that I ever would have been able to truly own my quit because I don't know if I would have been doing it for myself or somebody else.

I know today that I quit for me first. The added benefit is that my wife and kids will know a better husband/dad, get to spend more time with me now that I'm not finding excuses to be away from them to dip, and spend more time with them in the long haul because I won't be dying from a selfish stupid habit.

I quit with you today and each day hereafter. Stay strong and if you need anything at all, PM me. Stay strong and QLF today.

Most of you bad ass quitters know that I live with an active user....my husband.
Sometimes.....he walks right into it......and I do giggle....a bit....well, maybe a lot....hehehe

My dear old man asked if it would be okay if I cooked a grand breakfast for him and the kiddo since it was the weekend....the only time I seem to ever be home. He offered to go to the store and get the items and all.

I made a list. Short. Sweet. Non-male confusing. The very last item was my Starbuck's order....because he is a non-coffee drinker and would be lost.

Soon enough, as I was prepping some other items in the kitchen, Mr. G walks into the house, and arrives in the doorway of the kitchen holding two bags full of items from the market in one hand, and my Grande Starbuck's in the other. He places the two bags on the counter and then steps forward to hand me the lovely white cup of morning goodness. As he does, he says "Oh my God Janette. Six bucks? Seriously? I can't believe you would pay six bucks for this. Really? Is this every day? That's a lot of money and I never really realized it. I mean, Starbuck's has to be making a shit load of money just off of you and laughing all the way to the bank. I mean WOW. That is just unbelievable. I really didn't know it cost so damn much for stupid coffee. I was just shocked. I mean, that is seriously a lot of money and it's damn near a crime"

I grabbed my coffee. Took a sip. Licked my lips and said "Damn that is good. So.....I see that Copenhagen is selling for $6.25 a can. Hmmm."

G drops Mic........Returns to prepping a grand breakfast.......and all was right in the world.

G,

I've been posting with your group, hoping to see your name on that roll and only once in these past 2 weeks have I seen it. As of this note, your last activity was on July 6th....and this concerns me. We've been quit together for over 3 and 1/2 years and you've helped so many on their journey. Just know, there are people (self included) who care...whatever is going on with you, we care.

Sure, I could send you an IM, and hope that you log on and see that I've dropped you a line. But, I'm not confident that you will be back. Hoping that by using the intro pages, more people who care about you will see this and reach out. Just trying to reel you back in ...last thing I/we want is to lose a quitter like you and see you put yourself at risk by not posting roll.

Your friend,
Steak

Hi. Thank you.....and you are completely correct....not posting does put me at risk.....its the only thing that has ever worked.
