Day 70 update:

Some weeks are better than others. Days 60-70 have been tough, hard to focus and sleepy at work, not getting good sleep. I don't get the hard hammering craves anymore, just soft gentle ones. It's like the nic bitch is trying to sneak back into my life, speaking sweetly "wouldn't things be better with me in your life? You can focus, you can stay awake". The answer is hell no. I don't miss the hot stinky spitters in the car (thanks Skol for that reminder), sneaking dips, raw lips, and all the money I've saved. I'm giving myself the best gift ever, and feel more free, every day.

A couple of people have asked why I have such a stupid name, kodiakdeath. I signed up a week before I quit, which was planned, and maybe stupid, but that's another story. At the very moment I had to pick my username, the only thing that was going through my mind was that my brain was soaked with nicotine. Fucking drowning in chew spit. It was the worst feeling, like my body was dead from chew all those years. Every time I looked at my username I wanted to be reminded of that moment, that feeling. That using this horrible thing called kodiak felt like death, and that once I quit I was never going to use this shit again. So kodiakdeath.
I like the name. I'm lucky I'm alive after 25 years of Kodiak.

Nice intro, bro. 70 days... you have some really good days ahead. One day at a time.
Michael(W2W)... stop being a KTC whore... Mike (Kodiak) was mine first...Â…

No BS Mike.... W2W is one of the most badass dudes around here, he is a great ASSet to all of us noobs...

Welcome to the W2W harem......
Skol, buddy, go to page 1 of this intro and start at post 1. Then stop picking on your elders. IÂ’ve got cars to tow.
I must be doing somethng right if I have two badass quitters fighting for my love and attention 'poledancer'
Thanks a lot guys, you have really kept my quit in high gear.

Day 23 update:

The fog (what I call "brain squeeze") has lifted ever so slightly, but I still get heavy cravings especially after food, coffee, or beer.
I thought I would get more cravings while driving but those only lasted a few days after day 1. Stress is still quite the trigger.

Staying active with KTC, and in contact with vets and June brothers has helped a ton. In spite of the cravings I haven't had the urge to buy a can or dip. It's more like this force I have to fight off, even though I know I'm going to win, it wears me down. Seeing a guy in another group cave after 75 days scares the shit out of me. All I can do is stay vigilant to the nic bitch and take one day at a time. 34 years of dipping has taken it's toll on my brain and I need to be patient and strong while it repairs itself.

Thanks to the vets and June brothers for helping me and everyone else stay quit.
