Day 1

[Kdip]

Welcome aboard GoldenP51...

I am at a meager 3 days QUIT, but with 20 years of being hooked.  Go figure.  Stay tough and true...

These guys are damn good... with a shit load of tough love.   You, with only 6 years of dipping, can please feel free to ask me what I have seen over the years, I would love to save you the pain.

Hang in there... you should now be part of our May 2009 Quit Group (given your 100 days out date).

Feb 16th I am laying to rest my best friend of 23 years Copenhagen. It has been with me through thick and thin and I know in the end it is going to bite me in the fucking ass. So fuck it! So long you sorry son of a bitch I am sick of being at your disposal!!!!!

Brady, I was in your shoes 167 days ago. 30 years of cope and or cigs. under my belt. Best decision I ever made. You can do this too but it will suck big time for the next week or two. I could not have done it without the support on this site.
Ping me if you need anything.

Hi all,

My name is Jon, been chewing for 6 years.

Well this is day 1 of quitting for me...I threw my last can of chew into the garbage last night (Wintergreen Grizzly).

I am craving a chew really bad...resisting the urge to pull out the can that I threw away...still about 2 pinches left.

I am chewing gum but this is not helping much...I seriously feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I always told myself that once I finally decided to quit that it wouldn't be that hard, I would just stop chewing...yeah...right.

What I am really missing (dunno if this sounds weird or not) is the feeling of the chew pressing into my gums. I don't know why, but that is always the part that I've really enjoyed, the feeling of it 'cutting' into my gums sort of felt good.

I can do this...I know I can, even if I got crazy lol 'Crazy'


Thanks for listening...I hope it does get easier!

first things first...welcome! you have found the holy grail of quit.

you will find:

Information - read, read read......inform yourself about your addiction, what to expect from it, and the experience of quitters that have already been thru what you are facing.

A place to get involved...with folks that truly understand and "get" how friggin hard this is......we are right there with you. You need support or have a question...all you gotta do is ask. You need to rage...come here and do it, do not take it out on your loved ones and friends cuz you were stupid enough to begin an addiction that will kill you. Perfectly acceptable to call 40 a fag (whodey) or mule an ass....we can take it.

A brotherhood of folks that depend on you as much as you depend on them.


We got it all.......post roll every day and keep your word.

Let me know if i can help.

Jon,

Welcome!! You hand in there mister, it WILL get better. But, i'm not going to lie to you--it is going to suck donkey dick for a few days. IF you can make it through this initial period of suck, the prospects for your successful quit will enhance significantly.

I remember the first week of quit like it was yesterday... I probably will never forget it. I wanted to cave so many times. But, my resolve and this site is what kept me from giving into that two faced nic bitch.

Stay strong pal... and, STAY CLOSE to this site. This site has several resources to assit in your quit. USE THEM!!

Good luck--we'll be watching you :ph43r:

PS: You said you missed the chew pressing against your gums... I used to love that too. My advice, get some fake shit. Tease your brain. Buy some hooch snuff or something to tease your brain until you can get passed this initial suck.
