You are doing great, and I respect your quit from afar.

Day 28 of my quit and it really has been a roller-coaster ride. I have strung three or four days together where I have no cravings, then BAM - the craving is there for an entire evening. It usually occurs only in the evenings now but I have gotten through these with fake chew. I'm finally starting to get some sleep - my sleep pattern was a mess for almost three weeks. I know I don't want any chew but do think about it quite a bit. Cant believe it has been four weeks - especially from someone who hasn't been successful in quitting before. I'm taking it one day at a time. Thanks everybody for the great support.
Day 30 of my quit and thought I would treat myself to something worthwhile. Now I have always liked to eat, but in the past 30 days of my quit I LOVE to eat. The result - a 12 pound weight gain. The control of quitting chewing has been awesome - not so good for controlling the eating. So, back to my treat - I bought a treadmill and put my fat ass on it for 30 min. tonight. With the money I have saved and will continue to save from buying chew, the treadmill should pay for itself by day 80 or so. My goal is to lose this excess "baby" fat or else I'll moonlight next December playing Santa in my local department store. Thanks to everyone for the encouragement, especially Kasherms who is always supporting me. I quit with all of you.
Congratulations (may I say big daddy don?) Lol! I believe we all gained weight in the beginning of our quits. Mine has leveled off. Hang in there my friend! Weight gains alot better than sticking that cat shit in our mouths! Doing great proud to be quit with you today my brother!
Day 38 - It's not 100 - yet - but I consider this day a milestone. I chewed for about 38 years and am just finishing day 38 of my quit. I no longer think of chewing 24/7 and have realized that life is good without the ball and chain. For all of you new quitters - you can do this! Take your life back and enjoy! I still have the SM for those times I feel the urge. But I've noticed they are becoming less and less. I'm not as active on the site as many but I do credit this forum and all of you for making it through the last 38 days. After making it this far my next goal is simple - day 39. One day at a time...
Don you got it going on my brother! Keep it up! Stay ahead of the nic bitch! Damn proud to be quit with you! Here anytime if you need me!
Day 49 - I really am still going strong after 49 days! I had many challenges during this time but the biggest will be this weekend when I head to my camp for trout fishing. That is probably where I chewed the most. I'm going to take fake chew and a lot of gum. If I make it through this weekend I think I'll be able to do anything. I'm not planning on giving in. Congrats to all of June who have or is about to hit the half century mark. This site has saved me many times and will continue to inspire me. Happy first day of trout PA - believe it or not it will be the first nic-free trout season in close to 40 years for me!!
Have a great time trout fishing. You WILL get through this weekend just fine and we will be there with you. You‘re a badass don and I quit with you today.
Hey Don,
US olé timers got to stick together. Lol! Know what you mean, crappie seasons in full swing been at least 10 times first time in 38 years nic free! If I can do it, so can you! Been using baccoff when I go, it helps. Congrats on Day 50 you rocking it! Damn proud to be quit with you today my brother! Enjoy your nic free trout season!
Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

Congrats Don!

My name is Randall. I am on day one of my quit. This is the third time I am attempting to quit, but the first time I am leaning on KTC for help. I am optimistic about this quit. It is not easy, but when the fog lifts, I will be a better man!

Quote from: Thumblewort
Every quit day is a win for us! Way to be killing this quit!
You guys keep me going. I just cleaned my car for the first time since the beginning of winter. Man I could have made two full cans of snuff from what was on my floor and under my seat. For years I have cleaned my car and never thought much about that mess - until tonight. I was actually grossed out from that mess! It's good to be in a car that is clean of that stuff...what were we thinking??!!
We weren't we are addicts. Addicts don't think they act on habits! I'm done with my habit but will always be an addict! Quit on Don it feels awesome!
Day 17 and still going! Got the weekend coming up - they are always tough because i have more time on my hands. But I will use some down time and read some of these awesome stories on the site. I appreciate all the people that are pulling for me and others. It's kind of strange but in a way my entire personality has changed - and not always for the good. I have noticed myself having a short fuse at times with others around me. Some things just irritate me. I am spending the next week or two working on thinking before I open my mouth. Have a great weekend everybody and let's all stay quit!!
Ok - Day 18 of my quit and having some serious cravings today. I won't cave but it almost feels like I'm in the fog all over again. And all I want to do is eat! I'm not obese - yet - but I will be if this keeps up. Anybody else experience these strong cravings around the same time of your quit?
Read, read every one on here does. It's another wonderful part of the suck! It's worth every damn second of it! Stay quit at all cost it goes away!
Day 23 and the days seem to get better and I'm not really fixated on chewing. Nights get a little tough (especially during the hoop games) but that's what my SM is for. And not nearly as bad as the first couple of weeks. Reading on this site has really helped. Posting roll helps as well. Congrats to all of June for quitting. (Did we find a better name than "goons"?) Thanks to Kasherms for the daily support and Randall for reaching out to me. Those texts every now and then helps to realize that we are all in this together. I'm looking forward to day 24...quit on.
