Day 114. Feels good to be quit. If your reading this and your new, just know that quitting is possible. Yes it is hard, but if I can do it than anybody can. Thanks to everyone for the support!!

I quit again today, let me tell you why
Another can of dip, that I will never buy
I got fed up with dipping, relying on a can
I chose to finally quit, but I really needed a hand
I got online and searched, and found this KTC
Would they help me quit, could it really be?
I knew that it was time, and signed up right away
After just a little bit, I found out everyone was umm grey
So far it has helped, victory is mine!
I quit again today, one day at a time!

Day 43 and still going strong. Been having a few cravings lately, seem strong but dont last long. Had someone offer me a whole sleeve of dip yesterday that didn't know I quit. I had no problem turning it down, but a little while later I was thinking about it harder than i should. I started having strong cravings and crazy thoughts, but then i thought back to some of the stories i have read on here and how some of you other guys have delt with triggers and cravings. It reall has helped to strengthen my quit. Also had a crazy dream a couple of weeks ago. Haven't had any dip dreams really since my quit but dreamed that I was in a store and buying a can. I opened my wallet and there was no cash. All of my credit cards and debit cards were gone. I had absolutely no way to pay for it. I was freaking out and trying everything to try and buy it. Finally i woke up, and was thankful it was just a dream. Thanks everyone for the support.

Nice work saying NO to the mother load the nic bitch was trying to tempt you with!!!! Life is better without dip!!!! One day at a time!!!!

Day 34 here and it feels great. I never would have thought I would have made it this far!! The rage and frustration has finally backed off and I finally feel normal again. Up til about day 25 or 27 I thought I was gonna be mad forever. I feel like Im back to my normal laid back self and maybe even calmer than when I dipped. I still have times when I get ill but it is controllable and not nearly as bad. The cravings have also backed off quite a bit. It seemed like in the early 20's days I wanted a dip worse than day 1, but that has definately calmed down now some. It feels like forever is no longer out of reach and I am so pumped to be spending my life free of dip. Just thought I would let everyone know how it was going and that it does get better. I quit again today, one day at a time.

Day 16. Sorry for the long rant earlier. The fed ex guy came today and brought me a new cable and eyebolts. The shirt is getting shipped back free with a full refund. Everything managed to work out great!!

Lucas, Keep up the great work. Dont apologize for ranting man. Thats what this site is for. Read, get educated, meet some people, swap some numbers, and stay accountable. 23 years old and wise enough to shut the door on that crap. I am impressed. Keep your promise, bro. I quit with you Lucas. I will start looking for you on roll. Please do the same for me.

Well it's day 14 and still a little bit of rage. I guess it's time to rant a little. I know I sound like a very angy guy, but trust me I'm not. So anyway, Its a long story but here goes. For Christmas me and my wife got gift cards to Academy Outdoors. There is not one in our area yet but there is one about 100 miles away in Montgomery. So Monday we were both off and decided to go up that way and do some shopping. Well my wife has wanted an Alabama jersey for the past few years and has yet to find one she likes. Well she found one at Academy and wanted to use her gift card. Well the only problem was this one had a cut on the front and a tear in it. She decided not to get it and just order one offline. Well the other night she told me it had shipped and was coming from Montgomery. I laughed and told her it was probably the one she put back. Well she texted me today and it was delivered to the house. Turns out it is the exact same one we put back. Out of all the Academy's and warehouses apparently that is the only one they have. Well that's not what really made me mad. What really got me was what the fed ex delivery guy did. I live out in the middle of the woods, so I have a big cable across my driveway from tree to tree. It helps keep people out, especially when I work nights and have to sleep during the day. Well the fed ex guy came flying in the drive way and busted right through it. Straightened out both 1/2 eye bolts in the trees. Delivered the package and left. No apology note, no phone call, nothing at all to tell me they had destroyed my "gate". Maybe I'm overreacting, I don't know. But if i would have been home I probably would have punched his face in. Hopefully, in a few days i will look back on this and laugh. But as for tomorrow, I will still be nic free and there will be a few employees that will have to deal with my rage.

Day 6 and still going strong. Right now I really do not even want a dip, yes I am having nicotine withdrawals but do not want to stick any of that nasty crap in my mouth. Not even the fake stuff. It just all seems nasty now. All I really want to do is just punch somebody in the face. I have always been a laid back guy buy since I quit I feel like the hulk. It seems like everywhere I go somebody is trying to be smart and tick me off. But so far have not punched anyone. I know it will get better, so just gonna stick with it.

Ah the dip rage, completely normal as your mind begins the process of re-wiring itself. And yes even I, you can ask some others, the calm and methodic one went through a period of early quit where I wanted punch a hole through a brick wall and wanted to yell at everyone around.

It like alot of the other symptoms will pass. For this one a good recommendation made to me was a little meditation to relax me. It helped a little. Then I just started cursing during the mantra. 'Crazy'

Good work so far, keep it up.

Early on I was raging and snapped my weed wacker in half. I beat it on the ground like 15 times till it snapped.. Oh man that felt good... had to buy a new one, but it was worth it. I guess better than bashing someones face. unless it's the bitch. She's the only woman I would ever knock the F out.. lol

Actually a cell phone is my only means of communicating with this site. If you read the post I put about posting roll,  note that it says first thing. I never said I would not post, just not always first thing. My mornings are alot of times your nights and vice versa.

Looks like you do pretty good posting in your intro with your phone...Dude you can post whenever you want, as long as you post DAILY. We're not telling you this to be assholes, we're telling you this because you have a better chance making that commitment to yourself (and us) right when u wake up. If you wait till the end of YOUR day you'll have some dangerous limbo time.. We're not saying post in the morning, we're saying post in YOUR morning. Everyone wakes up I think? and god knows there are guy's on here at all hours of the day. My wife works graveyard for years, people have different mornings.. no worries.. quit with you bro!! peace

Dude....what you are not realizing is that we are all addicts here!!! We have used all of the bullshit lines to rationalize our behavior to our friends and family. We have lied to our wives, mother and fathers to get that fix. You cannot come up with a scenario that will justify not posting. Shit or get off the pot!! Post roll!
