My quit - 26 days and counting

[Scowick65]

90 Days quit and having the worse craves I've had in months.  Took some clients out to dinner, had a couple beers and then was craving.  Now I have drank during my quit, been around users during my quit, no problems.  Then today I'm craving out of nowhere.  That's what this is all about.  Make a promise, keep the promise, repeat.  This will never end, I'm glad to be here and to be quit with all of you.

You're the man ncgolfer...I had a terrible time with craves right around my HOF...in fact, I remember having one of my worst as I was writing my speech, but I had already posted that day so all I could do was rage and write! Just keep making the promise everyday

Yes, just keep going. You have been an inspiration.

Nice work NC! Proud to be in the same group with you man!

Thanks everyone. Round trip to Dallas and Back today. Good thing I was quit. Not an empty seat on the plane, stuck in the middle between two women. Would not have been comfortable putting one in during that situation, but I'm sure the old me would have found a way. Still quit!!!

Didn't think it would be a big deal, but I'm on my first flight since I started my quit.  Flying is one of the biggest triggers I've faced.  I was actually looking forward to not having to buy two bottles of water just so that I could pour one out to use as a spitter.  Now once I got in my seat I've had cravings,  I brought plenty of gum and in flight Internet will keep me quit.  Still quit at 30,000 feet.

I recall the strange looks from people as I opened a brand new bottle of way-overpriced water and poured it down the drain, so I would have a spitter on the plane. I shake my head just thinking about it... 'help'

Just faced the same problem ncgolfer. Way to fight the NB bro.

Travelled all week with boss and was in mad crave mode.  I think I'm at that point everyone before said would come about this time.  I beat back the bitch with fake and now I'm thinking I need to find a KTFC ( Kill The Fake Can) site to start posting.  Better than the alternative.

see that's what I was afraid of. I've looked up all the so call herbal or natural chew or whatever that is a good alternative to dip. Then I was like ok my goal is to quit the dip all together not trade one in for the other. although the other is suppose to be healthier for you. I don't want to dip anymore at all. That goes for the nicotine or the natural chew. But stay with the quit bud. try cinnamon sticks. They helped me a ton.

I used fake early on in my quit. Dipped it daily until probably 250 or so. Then I just stopped using it. There is nothing in it to make you keep using it. I know there are different opinions on the subject here so this is my two cents.

If it keeps you off the real shit then I say do it. Plenty of quitters have used it successfully. If you are one of the people who thinks it may lead to temptation then avoid it. It is your quit... use the tools that work.

Along with fake dip I ate the shit out of sunflower seeds, gum, candy, straws, toothpicks, boobies occasionally. Just keep your mind occupied.

No boobies here in Baghdad, but I use the Hooch a couple of times a day. I like it because in addition to keeping me from dipping, it keeps me from eating as well, so i'm not constantly stuffing my face with food or candy.

I've also found that I use significantly less of it than I did the real stuff that I had stuffed in my face for 14-16 hours a day.

Thanks Guys, I just saw your posts. I'm still using the fake. For me it is a good alternative and in no way does it make me want the real thing. I have to go into my old tobacco shop to by the fake and never once do I think about buying the real shit. The girl at the counter already has my smokey mtn wintergreen in her hand when I walk up. Some major headaches and urge to chew something lately...fake and toothpicks continue to do the trick. I make my promise everyday, and I will honor you all by keeping that promise.
