Whsii,
 Thanks for the words bro! I know this is gonna suck, Day1 and well I'm sure I don't have to tell you what thats like! But, I have my plan, so I think I'm finally ready, gotta bitch though, I always read about avoiding "triggers" now i'm sure you know, everything is a trigger for chew! I would put one during almost every activity!! almost everything involved throwin in a chew!! My biggest accomplishment was yesterday, mowed the whole lawn without a chew! I don't ever remember doing that!! well, enough for now, see ya!
Hey Chris,
Welcome, man. Day 1 is almost over for you, or maybe it already is, depending on where you are in the country. Now all you have to do is remember to post day 2. If you keep your promise, that's two days down and some really good shit.
Nice work mowing the lawn without a chew. Sounds like something I'd definitely throw a lip in for. I agree with you, everything seems like a trigger. As addicts, everything was an excuse to use. In fact, that just led me to a realization-- "TRIGGER" IS A WORD OUR ADDICT MINDS HAVE DEVELOPED FOR EXCUSES TO CAVE. Remember that the next time the nic bitch says, "Hey, this would be a perfect time for you to throw in a lipper!" Think of the trigger/excuse as an opportunity to strengthen your quit by telling the nic bitch, "Fuck off, I'm busy."
With regard to triggers/excuses in general, you're going to have to face them without chew at some point. I painted the kitchen the first few days of my quit which was a serious trigger/excuse, but I felt liberated by facing stuff like that knowing I don't need the nic bitch hanging around while I do it. Facing triggers/excuses early on strengthened my quit because, for me, it was my way of turning my shoulder on nicotine and just stepping further away from it.
Just my two cents. Facing triggers/excuses worked for me, but it could end up being someone else's downfall, provided they don't take their quit or consider their word (posting roll) to be worth a damn.
Good luck. PM me if you need anything. Don't forget to post Day 2.
