Who I am...
A secret chewer....I lie to my wife...the woman I love...I tell her over and over I have quit....I have tried over and over....I have failed each time
19yrs and counting....
I chew without anyone knowing....for years now
I chew without spitting, I can even eat a meal without spitting out my chew....
I go to bed with a chew, I wake up with a chew 24/7 literally.....
I have tried to quit...over and over and over.....every time i get caught by my wife I try to quit and fail.
I work in a hospital and walk around with a chew all day and no one knows...I would get fired if I got caught.
I'm tired of being SKOALS bitch!!!
It stops TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quit for you and only you. Read as much as you can on here, join your group and get some phone numbers for support YOU WILL NEED THEM.
Post roll daily, be a beast and quit like a beast every day.
Seeing that you have a problem and have been lying is the first step. Understand that your first few days are the great suck, then the suck comes and goes, but it is not fun when the cravings come.
Pack yourself some alternative bags, one for work, one for home and one for the vehicle. Pack in whatever alternative you are going to use (seeds, fake dip, beef jerky, gum, mints or all). Just make sure that you are prepared, the one moment you get weak your QUIT can fail.
-
You are not a secret chewer (ninja dipper) ...you only think you are a secret chewer... If you think your wife doesn't know then the secret is on you...I would be willing to bet she is just choosing her battles. You never quit before you had a stoppage. so how bout we do shit different this time and get different results such as:
ONE quit for YOU. All other reasons are just motivators problem is motivation is short lived.
TWO incorporate your wife in the quit. There is a whole spouses section.
Three post roll. Posting roll gives us your word that you will not use for today only. wake up tomorrow and repeat. Posting roll is the single most important event you can do each day. By posting roll you make a promise to you and us that you will not use(accountability)
Four meet your group members swap numbers give your number out to other members here build bonds (accountability+brotherhood)
FIVE: add +1's up (success). If you have any left over in the tank help someone else out. that is a formula for QUIT.
6 if I typed all this shit for nothing I am gonna be pissed off
PM if you need digits and get this quit on.

Glad you made the decision to quit today! You found a great community of quitters who can help.
The first step is to empty all your dip into the toilet and flush. That includes secret stashes, in the car, etc. Dont keep it laying around in the garbage can.
Second - Read everything here: index.php?showforum=13 (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showforum=13)
which explains how to post roll. Then Post Roll! You'll be posting roll in the December 2013 group. This is the group of people who will be quitting with you over the next few weeks, and will hit 100 days quit in December.
Then you quit one day at a time (ODAAT), thats our mantra here at KTC. You post roll in the morning, which is your promise to stay quit that whole day. Then you repeat the next morning.
PS- we've all done the secret chewing thing (we call it ninja dipping). we've all deceived our loved ones, we've all done the same stupid things you've been doing. Dont think you're alone in that! We're all addicts just like you are.
-
Welcome aboard Enslaved. You made the best decision of your young life today. Go to the welcome center and that will get you started. Post roll and look up at your inbox (1). That is a personal message from me with my telephone number. Lets get your party started brother. Remember to call the telephone mumbers you will have shortly before raging at your wife and family. We are expecting it and will help you through it...your family is not as prepared and will not understand like we will. Let us help you to help yourself. Welcome to your first day of freedom. Wayne

I could possbily agree more. Traumagnet is absolutely correct. Every single word.
I would put inclusion of the wife right at the top of the priority list.
You were not as stealthy as you think. I guarantee your wife smelled the shit on you. After you've been quit for a few weeks, you'll agree. I can smell some jackass with a packed lip from 10 feet away.
If, by some miniscule chance, she was oblivious to what her spouse has been doing, you have a possibly bigger problem. Now that you've quit, your emotions are gonna be all over the place. Rage will come and go. You'll focus more on NOT dipping than you do on family. She will absolutely notice that. My wife thought I was having an affair. I am 100% serious about that. We wound up at the dining room table with tears in her eyes before I came clean with her. She was so relieved that she wasn't even upset that my previous quit attempt had failed. Brother, she has been the best supporter I have, and that is a big statement considering the folks at KTC.
Either way, you need her in your corner through this. Get her to read The Spouse's Section (http://www.killthecan.org/community/spousal-support/). Unless she's an addict herself, she has no idea what you're dealing with.
Reach out to some of us if you need anything.

You're doing great bro!!!!!! Yes, it does suck, but that is what it feels like when your body is ridding itself of poison. You can get thru it! You're a grown-ass man, and you can do it.
Did you figure out how to post roll? do that! and use this entire website as a distraction from what we call "THE SUCK". There's no easy way to do it, you just have to go thru it. I promise it does get better!
Drink a ton of water, like constantly. This will help get the poisons out of your body quicker. Also I recommend you have some sort of oral fixation things on hand at all times, to get you thru bad cravings. Gum, spits, jolly ranchers, atomic fireballs, and fake chew are all tools you can use. Exercise helps alot with the nerves/anxiety/irritability. The main thing is you find some things that work for you, and use them.
Do whatever you have to do, to not put nicotine into your body today. Quit with you today!
EDIT: I see you did post roll, great job, slave! Now just keep your word, its that simple. Welcome to the world of quitters!

Glad your with us Slave. Remember you are not alone. Thousands of others who were attached to Nic's nipple for 5..10..15..20..25..30..35..40.. and so on have been through the suck! Thefore, you can too because we are not :scowick:
Treat your quit like it is the most important thing in your life..Only a couple things should be before it... Do anything you have to remain nic free. Once you are through the suck it gets a little easier. Get your digits out to as many quitters as possible. If you isolate yourself you are screwed! 'BanDog'
Read your 'arse' off and you will reap the benefits. If you want to be a Badazz Quitter then follow the vets..They have paved the way for you and I. All we have to do is accept we are not more special than them and then walk down the path a little further each and every damn day. When you get thirsty reach for the huge jug of KTC KOOL-AID and take a chug..There is enough for everyone.
I am quit with you today Slave! 'oh yeah'
-
You are a free man now!
Good job choosing to not be a slave to the can.
One day at a time.
Miles - +1 with you!
-
I was in the same boat as you, feeling the same thing 35 days ago,It totally sucks but it will get better!Don't let the nic bitch trick you into anything,Stay the course, be stronger!
-
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.
Read everything on here, post roll call each morning and don't dip. Wow....that sounds so easy, doesn't 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.
Make sure your wife reads about what you are going through. 99% chance that you are going to be a short fussed dick for the next 3-4 weeks. Try not to take it out on her and the kids. Get on here and take it out on us, we will be fine.
I quit with you.
-
Get connected with your quit brothers. Get phone numbers. You will find that using them and their using of you will create an awesome bond that will strengthen your quit. You will find that you will love some, and hate some but either way, they are helping you. You will need both types at different occasions. Get connected.
(you got my number, don't be afraid to use it)

Slave your story sounds so much like mine. The 24/7 ninja dipping, my wife quit confronting me she knew I'd lie, after 34 years she didn't want to here the lies. Choosing freedom or slavery is in our hands. I choose freedom! You can too!

Who I am...
A secret chewer....I lie to my wife...the woman I love...I tell her over and over I have quit....I have tried over and over....I have failed each time
19yrs and counting....
I chew without anyone knowing....for years now
I chew without spitting, I can even eat a meal without spitting out my chew....
I go to bed with a chew, I wake up with a chew 24/7 literally.....
I have tried to quit...over and over and over.....every time i get caught by my wife I try to quit and fail.
I work in a hospital and walk around with a chew all day and no one knows...I would get fired if I got caught.
I'm tired of being SKOALS bitch!!!
It stops TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Liar i was where you are at. the ninja dipper.
thinking i was pulling shit over on the wife. If you are serious, please make sure to read other comments,
Step 1, Make the commitment, throw out the can, no if's ands or butt, no nicotine in any form.
Step 2. Post Roll Call so you are accountable in your quit, if you need phone numbers check your PM, you can call someone..
Ride the suck, and remember it. Quitting SUCKS!! for me the worst of the suck was the 4 days, and that is when the body is free of nicotine, BUT, the SUCK continues because of head games.
If you are truly tired of being a slave throw off the shackles and throw out the can.
Keep posting

Great job committing to today by posting roll. Day 3 is fantastic and the Nic Bitch knows that you're serious this time so keep your guard up and be on the lookout for her lies, mirages, negotiations and pleading.
She will say anything to get you to use nic today. "This is a bad time to quit, you should quit when you have time to go through withdrawal," or "You've earned just one. Just one is better than a 24/7," or "Today is a bad day and XYZ was unexpected, so try again tomorrow,".
But she is powerless to DO ANYTHING.
Congratulations on choosing to kick this dirty slut to the curb. Soon you will see her for what she really is. Soon you will see life for what it really is.
What you will gain:
Health
Pride
Truth
Money
Self-respect
Brotherhood
Keep going!

NICE you came back to fight another day against the dirty bitch...ODAAT nice to see I didn't waste key strokes the other day. Did you include your wife? Or are you leaving the door open just a crack so you don't have to hear told you so. As an addict you have to burn the bridge and the piers too...addicts can not leave the smallest of margins for wiggle room...yep paint yourself into a corner

You are doin' it man. When she rears her head, get on here and bitch. Call or text any of us. PM me if you need some more accountability.
Eventually, as long as you don't stand there talking with her at the door, she will go away and stop knocking so regularly.
You are a quit today and I am quit with you.

That is QUIT GOLD.
It's time to pound your chest and exert your willpower, Enslaved. Whatever you have to do to NOT use nic, do it.
PM Me if you want to bitch about something.
Glad to be quit with you!

Welcome to quit enslaved. I remember being right where you are. The longing that you feel is so familiar to all of us. I remember it well. I felt that I couldnt do anything without dip. I felt helpless and hopeless. I quit hundreds of times before, (well paused might be a better word). After a week or 2 without things getting much better I would always cave. Then all of a sudden 240 days ago I stumbled upon this site and saw that everything I was feeling was normal. I learned that it is all an expected part of the healing process. Give it some time, you will see, you dont want it, you dont need it, freedom is so much better.
There is no want, there is no hope, there is no try, there is only quit. You can do this man. One day at a time, do anything that you must to keep that shit out of your mouth for the day. Focus, vent, scream, cry, exercise, fight, rage, run, sleep, ANYTHING IT TAKES not to dip. Time will heal all the wounds if you only give it a chance. Give your body and your mind some time to see what life is like without dip. One day at a time is the only way out of the bondage you created. It is worth the fight, this shit is life or death man.

Borrowed this from "Keddy"
Especially like # 10
Some things I have learned about quitting:
1. When we build accountability with our group and with those who support us, the strength of our quit increases exponentially.
2. We quit because we want our lives back and are tired of being enslaved by nicotine.
3. There is no legitimate excuse not to quit right now.
4. Nicotine never helped me deal with anything; it only created an addiction, a void, that I needed to fill.
5. I can do anything better without nicotine than with nicotine.
6. If someone helped me to quit, I have a responsibility to help someone else do the same.
7. Channel your hate for dip into the positive energy required to quit.
8. If I need to wait until tomorrow to quit, I don't want to quit enough.
9. There is tremendous reward after the suck!!
10. It helps to talk back to my addiction. Yeah, others may think you're strange, but when you're tempted at the convenience store, just tell dip to go to hell (quietly), and walk out.
Thanks Keddy....reading what others have gone through really helps.
-
One day at a time. I quit with you today.

10. It helps to talk back to my addiction. Yeah, others may think you're strange, but when you're tempted at the convenience store, just tell dip to go to hell (quietly), and walk out.
Thanks Keddy....reading what others have gone through really helps.
Especially like #1 #6. If you can work through the first bit with a real desire to do this, you'll quickly find yourself surrounded by guys who support you others who you can lend support to as well. Not even 2 weeks in with all the accountability all new friends expecting the best well...
FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!! :D

As the end of my third week draws near, I have seen my sleeping habits return to normal (for the most part). My bowls are starting to straighten out (finally). Still eating everything I can get my hands on. My headache are actually starting to increase???
My craves are decreasing, however when I do have them they are BAAAAAD! Still finding that I think about dipping alot....alot....alot!!!
Thanks to everyone hear for their help and support the last 3 weeks. Quiting ODAAT!!!!

Nice to see that I didn't type all the info I did in your intro for nothing. Check your BP if that is normal then you may still be rewiring. You didn't fuck yourself up overnight you are not going to right yourself overnight either. I will promise you this as you continue it gets better I would even say it gets fucking great. All my labs have turned around I feel wonderful, not to mention the time with my family I have gained on two fronts with them in life and presence. money saved no panic attack wondering if meetings are gonna go too long that my cells will start screaming or if I can gut it the whole time. no planning how I will go home to ensure I hit a store to buy my fix....
Headaches and gut probs minimal bro compared to having a huge cancer cut out of you. Keep up the good work embrace all these issues there is another side.
PM if you need anything.

I'm THRILLED to see you fightin' the good fight, Enslaved. As is common, Trauma hit the nail on the head and I can only nod and clap in his wake.
I felt a major change at about day 40 or so. The thirties were gloomy. I would recommend that you do something to strengthen your quit today, whether it's further involving your wife, printing out the contract to quit, finding another layer of accountability... we're not out of the woods by any stretch.

Had my first Dip dream last night......
The most real dream I think I've ever had.....I could taste it, could feel the nic, ....when I woke up....
I was Embarrassed, pissed, confused and full of guilt.
WOW!!!!

This is from additional resources- there is some really good stuff there to check out
Chewing dreams are common if not universal among ex-chewers. It is especially common when a person is off a short time period, and if it occurs within days or weeks of quitting, it is likely to be extremely disturbing and very realistic. Realistic enough in fact that the ex-dipper will wake-up smelling and tasting a chew, convinced that he or she has actually chewed.
The dream can be interpreted in one of two ways upon awakening, and quite often, the ex-Chewer takes it as a sign that they actually want to chew. After all, they had been off chewing and just dreamt about it that means they want to chew, right?
I used to get calls in the middle of the night for clinic participants panicked by the dream. They would start off saying, “They can’t believe it, off all this time and they still want to chew.” They knew they wanted to chew because they dreamt about it. I would then ask them to describe the dream. They would tell about the vividness and realism, and they would almost always say it started to take on a nightmarish proportion. They would wake up in a sweat, often crying, thinking that they just chewed and blew the whole thing, that they were now back to square one. That all that time off chewing was wasted.
As soon as they would finish describing their feelings, I pointed out one very obvious fact. They just dreamt they chewed and assumed that meant that they wanted to chew. They woke up and upon further clarification, they describe the dream was a nightmare. This is not the dream of someone who wants to chew; it is the dream of someone who is afraid of chewing. This is a legitimate fear considering the ex-dipper is fighting a powerful and deadly addiction. Hence, it is a legitimate dream too. It kind of gives you a sense of how bad you would feel if you actually do go back to chewing. Not physically speaking but psychologically. If the dream is a nightmare it makes you realize how bad this feeling is without having to actually have chewed and fallen into the grasp of nicotine addiction again. It can give you some perspective about how important not chewing is to your mental health.
The dangerous dream is when you chew a whole can in it, have the aching gums and tongue sores, get socially ostracized, develop some horrible illness, end up on your death bed about to let out your final live breath—and all of a sudden wake up with a smile on your face and say, “that was great, wish I could do that when I am awake.” As long as that is not the dream you were having, I wouldn’t let myself get to discouraged by it. In regards to chewing, no matter what you do in your dreams you will be OK as long as you remember in your waking state to Never Take Another Chew

Going on 2 months quit and feeling pretty good. Thank GOD I found this site! saved my LIFE! End of the first month was pretty tough, not sure why just was. Missed roll twice this month. No excuses (out of town and sick) should have txt one of my brothers to post for me! Just want to thank all my DEC 13 brothers and everyone else who helped me through the toughest part " the first few weeks". My quit is stronger than ever, never ever ever going back, not for anything ever!
It's FRIDAY and I'm feeling good!

Don't focus at all on the missed roll posts for yourself, seldom do people maintain 100% roll post. What is most important is that you continue to stay quit.
I love how most of you recently have been extremely active and are using the forum as it should be. Continue to focus on today, let tomorrow wait and remember that yesterday is in the past.
Two months is quite an achievement and you should be proud of yourself. The siren Nic Bitch has been unsuccessful in calling you back. I am proud to quit with you any day that ends in "Y".
