Off the nic-bitch! - Think I need help posting roll

[txtaco1]

TxTaco congrats on your decision to quit. I am also a former long term dipper (30 years).

Thanks Sawdog! It's funny how on the one hand it's such an easy, easy decision and once "you" make it, then it really is truly easy... BUT... On the other hand, making that decision is the toughest damn thing to do in the world when you're in that bitches grasp.

Good job on being quit since Sept. Glad to be quit today with ya!

Another milestone today:

Took a 3.5 hr road trip in the car with the family. Usually, this would involve making sure there was something to spit in and a fresh can of Red Seal or Skoal WGFC. It's one of my rituals, triggers, habit, to always pack my lip full of nic-O-bitch worm dirt and spit the whole way there. NOT THIS TIME! I told that skank to get a ride with somebody else today!

I can't lie though, it's probably been the toughest day yet. Stopping for gas; going into stores and seeing it behind the counter. I'm still "mad" at nic-O-bia and really didn't want any, but can tell seeing it has made me have cravings today. I can confidently say that today, I won!

We won! Proud to be quit with all of you today! 'oh yeah'

8 Days in:

I believe I saw that I should keep this all in my intro post so it would be in one place and serve as a diary of sorts. Please, let me know if that isn't accurate.

Anyway, this evening I'm anxious about how easy it's been. Is this a trick? Is it possible I've used so long that I still have nic in my system? I've used the Smokey Mountain "fake dip" to be quit for 8-days and feel as if I've had only slight if any side-affects or withdraw symptoms. I feel like the SM fills my "trigger" cravings like after dinner, when I get out of bed, before a shower... All the times I wanted nic-bitch seems to have seamlessly been replaced with SM. I'm afraid that there is going to be some crash or melt down.

I did notice the 1st 3-4 days, I was short with my family members, but haven't really craved. While in Phoenix this week on business, I ninja dipped in the conference just like I would have with real dip only a short week ago. Ninja dipped in the airports and on airplane. Even out at a club after a few drinks, I went to the men's room and sneaked me a fat dip of the SM and on the way out noticed they had the little bathroom concierge guy and he had two cans of snuff. Honestly, my thought was that they were selling single dips in the bathroom in PHX. Seems likely in TX or AR but didn't see that one coming! LOL

Anyway after all that rambling, 1. I believe I'm feeling off or guilty for still having that "dirty little secret" using the SM. 2. I'm afraid that as much as I want to think I'm a bad ass and have simply made up my mind; that at some point there is going to be cravings and this "fog" everyone speaks of.

Is it the exercise keeping the fog at bay?

Thanks gang, I'm proud to be quit with you all today.

As long as you are keeping nic out of your system you are doing great and you have no reason to feel guilty. Enjoy your freedom and run with it!

Well, I woke up again this morning and got me a dip of my fake dip and went on a 3 mile walk. I guess between exercise, water intake, Smokey Mountain I'm whooping this nic's ass for today.

Still no real withdraw symptoms or terrible cravings on day 9 after dipping for 25+ years.

Thanks for the encouragement Grizzly has claws!
