this shit sux

[lisahansen6]

My current boyfriend is so supportive of what I am doing, but he chews sometimes too, so I'm afraid that if there is a can laying around then I will be tempted!

Good job on the decision to stay around. I would highly recommend asking your boyfriend to not have tobacco in any form around you at anytime. If he is supportive like you say this should be a small sacrifice for him to make it help you succeed at this. I can tell you from personal experience that having easy access to dip during a quit is almost a guarantee of failure.

Good Luck

he actually has been without me even asking. he has been so wonderful! last night i caught him take a can out of his pocked and stick it in his drawer, i was like "where u get the can?" and he told me it was our friend danny's can, he left it at our house the night before when they were playing xbox and jerrid took it and put it in his pocket so i wouldn't have to even see it and be tempted!! it's really great, he is even chewing the fake stuff with me sometimes! :wub:

Well Lisa, I wish I had some great advice for ya, but unforturnetly, I can only wish you well. I'm along this shitty journey with ya, it's day 2 for me. I just put up a post introducing my story as well. But to give you inspiration to keep your quit, when my daughter was about Brayden's age, I ran into some heath issues that my doctor attributed to the crazy amount of nicotene I was ingesting. I was sure I was a gonner, due to this crap. So...take a good look at Brayden, then tell the nicotene to bite it, because you want to be there for him.

hey monkey wrench! i never saw this post till now... but i wanted to say thanks... better late than never. that is really scary that the nic was affecting you so harshly! hopefully your health will return to a normal state! keep up the quitting!

My name is lisa.  some of you have already met me, I got off on the wrong foot in here.  I had some jerks trying to get me to leave or just to piss me off or whatever, it worked for a minute, but every one talked me into staying.. thankfully they did.  So anyways.. a little about my self.  I am 23 years old.  I am a mother of a 4 month old little boy named Brayden, he is so wonderful and precious.  He is the main reason for my quitting.  I want him to grow up with a mother and not loose me to a cancer that was preventable.  I have been chewing for about 10 years.  When I was 13 my ex-boyfriend at the time offered it to me, and I guess I thought he would like me again if I tried all the stuff he offered to me.  I was wrong and ended up smkoing pot, drinking and chewing because of him.  My fault for doing it, his fault for offering.  So the chew is the one that stuck and I couldn't seem to shake it till now.    My current boyfriend is so supportive of what I am doing, but he chews sometimes too, so I'm afraid that if there is a can laying around then I will be tempted!  I feel very positive about this time quitting.  The last times I have tried by this time I am completely jonesing and that's all I can think about, this time is different and I don't know what changed, but it feels really good.  Most everyone here has been so helpful and nice and welcoming, I hope I can return the favor and if any of you need anything or help, please just ask!!

My wife quit smoking two days before I quit dipping. My wife told me that she really didn't mind if I kept dipping after she quit smoking, but I couldn't help but feel really guilty that I was feeling my nicotine addiction while she was 'bang head' quitting. It wasn't until after my first week that I realized that if my wife hadn't quit smoking, I would have started dipping again, and my wife confessed to me that despite what she said it bothered her those two days that she was quit and I wasn't.

I hope that your boyfriend will keep his dip away from you while you're fighting the nic bitch.

Stay quit!!!!!!!!!!!

What's awesome about this thread?!?!!!?

Check out the lineage........ Lisa (brand new), Monkey Wrench (Day 2), Smokeyg (618!!!!), Bout Time (Day 8), cjs2006 (pheonix from the ashes at Day 40-something), Aneokly (steadfast quitter who's paid her dues), Who Dat (newbie), and goochy (grouchy, but back to fight).......

It's merely a microcosm of this thing called KTC; but... check it out!!! We are from all over everywhere, at all different places in the climb towards quit. What keeps us together? A promise. Simple as that. One day at a time.

Lisa... whatever happened as insensitive initiation is now over.

Know this realm of support.
Take what time you need to allow yourself to feel safe here.
I can promise you that you are, but only you will sense it for you.

Your courage to stand for yourself despite the arrogance that challenged you is proof that you can face The Bitch.

Welcome!
You've got this!
And you've got whatever support you need

Game On!

And today is day 50 for me, I am halfway to 100!!!

If I can do this, ANYONE can do this, especially with the hell I have been through for the month of January. I will write a post about it, interesting story.

Stay true to yourselves all. I am so glad for this group.

Sorry Posted in wrong spot.

[WhoDat?]

Hey Lisa. I'm a newbie, also in your quit qroup. Just wanted to say congrats on your decision to hang in there with us. You'll be so happy with yourself once you get past the crappy part of quitting. I've done it a dozen times and it never gets easier, so I'm determined to make this my last quit. If you need a voice in your ear or just someone to listen, I'm available. PM if you want to swap numbers.

My name is lisa.  some of you have already met me, I got off on the wrong foot in here.  I had some jerks trying to get me to leave or just to piss me off or whatever, it worked for a minute, but every one talked me into staying.. thankfully they did.  So anyways.. a little about my self.  I am 23 years old.  I am a mother of a 4 month old little boy named Brayden, he is so wonderful and precious.  He is the main reason for my quitting.  I want him to grow up with a mother and not loose me to a cancer that was preventable.  I have been chewing for about 10 years.  When I was 13 my ex-boyfriend at the time offered it to me, and I guess I thought he would like me again if I tried all the stuff he offered to me.  I was wrong and ended up smkoing pot, drinking and chewing because of him.  My fault for doing it, his fault for offering.  So the chew is the one that stuck and I couldn't seem to shake it till now.    My current boyfriend is so supportive of what I am doing, but he chews sometimes too, so I'm afraid that if there is a can laying around then I will be tempted!  I feel very positive about this time quitting.  The last times I have tried by this time I am completely jonesing and that's all I can think about, this time is different and I don't know what changed, but it feels really good.  Most everyone here has been so helpful and nice and welcoming, I hope I can return the favor and if any of you need anything or help, please just ask!!

Glad to have ya Lisa and MR,

There are alot of really good peeps on this site, I am sorry you met some Aholes Lisa. I am on Day 8 and struggling like everyone else, taking it one day, one hour, one minute at a time.

My options are pretty simple, quit or die and I have a family too that are far more important than the nic demon.

Post roll in your May group and be accountable everyday that you are quit. Get phone numbers from your group and vets. PM me if you want my phone number.

You will do this, failure is not an option.

[Smokeyg]

This is the greatest journey I have ever undertook.

Gaining freedom is never easy. But it is worth every ounce of pain along the way.
