I faked for a bit. Some of that Hoochie Spit Fire. When I ran out, I just didn't order anymore. I was mentally and physically okay without it. Just needed to believe it.

I used the fake stuff for the first few weeks. After having a dip on my lip for 30 years candy just didn't work at first.

Haven't tried the fake stuff, but don't do coffee beans. I quit from 1999 - 2002 (don't ask me how/why I started up again) and used to chew up a couple whole beans and make in-mouth expresso. Nice pick me up, but hell on the gums. Messy in the teeth, too. Addicts do stupid shit, don't we.

Sun flower seeds out the wazoo, mints etc. What do you guys think about the various non tobacco snuff brands? Im afraid they will just make me want the real thing even more....
The fake stuff seems to work for many. I could not do it. I was too convinced that it would be to close to the real thing and the nic Bitch would use it as an opening to get me to cave. Atomic Fireballs and toothpicks seemed to help me the most.
Nothing wrong with the fake stuff. I used it in the past but it never took hold. Gum and seeds (ranch flavored) are my weapon of choice - every now and then I throw in some jerky.

You're doing great - keep up the good work.

You don't want to look back and know you could've done better

There are a lot of older guys you can fit in with here. That is, if you're quit.

You made a great choice. Now follow the leaders here and you will learn all you need to be free.

Exactly, you never wanted the Kodiak. That's why you had to force yourself to keep trying. In doing so the nic bitch took hold of you and you were at her mercy for 20 years.

You can take back control. We can show you how.

First thing is posting roll. Second, honoring you word to not use for that day.

Want to really be a man?

Show us how you can quit.

Hooh8r,

Glad your here. But you didn't love Kodiak, you were addicted to nicotine...two different things.

Click on the Welcome Center link above and begin reading. You'll help your quit by learing about addiction and discussing it with others who are right where you are right now.

Post roll, keep your word and repeat. Congrats on a great choice!!!

Com'on man, be a man and take a pinch of the bear! (Kodiak) I didn't like it or want it but I wanted to fit in with those older guys so I was determined to be a dipper... I was 14. Unfortunatly I learned to love it 20 years later here I am and I am determined to be a nondipper!
