Just an update on my quit....it's been going good, so far. The fog lifted after about 4 days, the bad craving has stopped. I almost feel guilty about it. I'm hoping it stays this way, but I'm not banking on it.
I really think what helped is the fake dip. I quit the dip, and substituted fake dip exactly at the trigger times...first thing in the morning, after every meal, driving, etc. I'm dippin' a whole can of fake a day, but I don't care...I'm not puttin' poison in my mouth anymore.
Started with Smokey Mountain, now dippin' Jake's. I couldn't find Hooch locally, but there's a bunch coming in the mail.
I was tested last night...I made a run to Cabela's, and threw on my Carhart jacket that had not been worn since last year. I arrived and jumped out of my Jeep, and did my normal self pat down as I walked across the lot. Keys right front, wallet right rear, PM9 right hip, and a can in my jacket pocket. I pulled it out and it was an unopened can of cope long cut. After a half second hesitation, and remembering two weeks of promises, it went right in the trash can at the door.
This is my first quit, and will be my only one...Thanks, KTC!
