Speaking of craving, I have been living with an insatiable desire to track down this porno filly named Brooke Banner.

You need anything, let us know.

There's a part of this that's the same as breaking up with a terrible girlfriend.  You KNOW you need to leave her, you know she's not right for you, you KNOW your family hates her, you KNOW she'll be a terrible mother, you KNOW she has the world's worst friends, you KNOW she'll spend all your money, you KNOW she's dangerous enough to kill you someday.  You KNOW she'll take take take your whole life, and the thought of being with her in 1 or 5 or 10 years makes you want to throw up in your mouth.

Kyle.. First of all, your comments are sharp. And fun. Also, your list suggests that you REALLY know how bad a girlfriend can be. Firsthand. Hell, you might even have an ex under your floorboards.






I won't tell.

Did you HAPPEN TO DATE A GIRL NAMED CHRISTY?/// sOUNDS ALOT LIKE HER!

Lance, I love your candor bro, I was thinking about a lot of the same thing when my quit began 15 days ago.  There's a ton of things I absolutely LOVED about chewing.

There's a part of this that's the same as breaking up with a terrible girlfriend.  You KNOW you need to leave her, you know she's not right for you, you KNOW your family hates her, you KNOW she'll be a terrible mother, you KNOW she has the world's worst friends, you KNOW she'll spend all your money, you KNOW she's dangerous enough to kill you someday.  You KNOW she'll take take take your whole life, and the thought of being with her in 1 or 5 or 10 years makes you want to throw up in your mouth.

But still, for some reason its SAD to leave her.  You're used to her, you can talk to her, you like having her in your bed, like her making you food, you like the way she makes you feel.  Leaving her is sad because there's a part of you that knows life will be never be the same.

And that's why you must leave her.  Because you CAN'T ever be the same.  Your life is too important to settle for this terrible woman.  If you were a lesser man you'd settle, but deep down you know you deserve better.

Some quitters call her the nic bitch.  You can call her insert name of worst female any of your buddies ever dated.   

Sure, there'll be some sad times at first, some apprehension, some fear about leaving some good memories behind.  But you know deep down you have to leave and say goodbye forever.  Your life is at stake, and you must choose that over the small number of temporary things that are hard to let go.

And THAT is why we're all here to help.  You can do this.

Thanks Kyle. wow dude, I've never heard it put like that before. But that's probably the best explanation I have ever heard for what this is like. The fog and the headaches ... I can deal with that shit no problem. It's the re-learning how to do literally everything I have done with a chew in my entire adult life. That, for me, will be "the suck".

Anyhooter, thanks for the words of encouragement. Thanks all who replied for their words as well. See ya'll at roll call tomorrow.

P.S. for the record.... my nic bitch's name will be Stephanie. That girl fell off the crazy tree and hit every branch on the way down. Then she gnawed on the root for good measure. :D

Hellz yes, another quitter.

Now all that love for the dip can be focused on the things that matter. We can do this. Welcome!

[RedneckFur]

Howdy, Lance. Good on you for quitting. It does suck, but you're halfway through the worst part of the cravings. By day 3 or 4 it will start getting easier.

Day 7 here, and each day gets a little better. If ya need somone to bitch at, feel free to send me a message.

[RAZD611]

Lance that part of you that doesnt want to quit is the Nic Talking. It is not the rational part of your thinking. In a few weeks when the headaches and the fog go away, you will realize you did want to quit. That is exactly why you are here. I doubt someone bet you wether or not it would be fun to hang out with us. You are here because you are an addict and you want to quit.

Commitment is a heartfelt Promise to yourself that you will not back down from. Your ability to live up to your commitments defines your character.

[Dr. Bruce Banner]

Welcome Lance,

Glad to see you post up and start this journey. I quit today, 208 days ago. I'll quit tomorrow, and I'll quit the next day. You get the point. Quit for today. Promise to the rest of us and give your word: Today, you will not use nicotine in any form. We'll worry about tomorrow when it gets here.

Hey Lance, It gets better!..... I find myself laughing more than craving just by sticking close and reading all the stuff these funny fuckers write. welcome to the suck as they say

1. Yes, you DO need to quit, and you need to quit because you want to. Others, however, must be relied upon to help you STAY quit.

2. Of course there is a part of you that doesn't want to quit. There is a part of me that STILL doesn't want to be quit...225 days later...and that's the part that I have to beat down every day.

3. Own the quit rage. Own the suckage of it all. Embrace it and ass-fuck it.

We've all seen a lot of people post in this Introductions forum...on Day 2, Day 1, Day 10. Some succeed. Others fail. Which will it be for you, Lance?

[lstaples]

Hi All,
my name is Lance and this is day 2 of my quit. I am 30 years old and have chewed a tin of kodiak a day since I was 17. I gutted the juice so that meant I would pretty much have one in every hour that I was awake. Didn't matter what I was doing. I used to decide how important my next meeting at work was by judging how big of a dip I should put in for it.

This is what I will call my first "real" attempt to quit. I found this site when I was searching for nicotine withdrawal symptoms. And I am finding out that those are no fucking joke. I have been very deep in the fog for a couple of days and am dealing with the most massive headache. A couple minutes ago I reached into my pocket for the tin that wasn't there just out of habit.... which pretty much kicked off a craving that brought me to my knees.

And here is the worst part, and I hope some of ya'll can understand where I am coming from. There is some part of me that doesn't want to quit. When people call it this filthy disgusting thing I have a hard time understanding that. I LOVE chewing. I love the taste of it, I love that wintergreen smell. I love the tingling in my lip. I love that little bit of euphoria. I love coffee and a chew almost as much as I love beer and a chew. I love fishing with a chew in almost as much as I love to hunt with a chew in. If and when I get old and the doctor tells me I got 3 months to live the very next thing I am doing is throwing a dip in my lip.

I hope that doesn't offend too many people. And I realize full well that this may just be my addiction talking and I may feel different in a few months (although I know quitters who are years in and say the same thing). But, tough shit, that's how I feel now.

But.... I also love not having tooth decay or cancer and I love still having my jaw in place. My mom got lung cancer (never smoked a day in her life) last year and even though she is fine now that scared the shit outta me. Then I got married a couple weeks ago. So, between those 2 things I pretty much know what will happen to me if I keep this up and I also know how badly I will be screwing those who care for me. So as much as I want to keep chewing, I know I NEED to quit. Cause the things I love about chewing that I listed above are not worth dying over and not worth leaving my wife, and god willing kids someday, alone over.

Anyway, that's my story and that's why I am here.

Lance
