Hey Fellas, wanted to update, because I know I don't get on here much anymore. I figured I would post because I know that everyone is different, and it helps to hear different sides of the same story.

First things first- TeaZa Review-
For those of you that haven't tried it, I would. I got the 4 pack of black cherry flavor, and to be honest didn't know what to expect. I only really saw one review with any details... Anyway, I really dig this shit. One of the best things is the fact that if I want to I can have a spit bottle and it acts in my cheek just like a good dip. Not the "why the fuck did you sell me this 2 week old dust" dip, but a good fresh dip. This is important for me because I found that all the acts of taking a dip is a big part of the addiction, at least for me, and I didn't really see how much that was true before. I can also be around those that dip (random dudes on the construction site) and still look like I have one in without having to try to explain my quit to someone not ready. I can also just hide it in the side, and no one knows its even there. The taste of the pouches is also very nice. The first time I kissed my wife with one in she wanted another one... see if that would have gone my way with a dip in... And you can also get a little bit of a caffeine buzz, and sometimes a bit of a brief and light headache. To me I don't mind, because especially in the morning, its like the first dip of the day feeling. One con... I am not positive if its the pouches, or the mix of the pouches and seeds, but it seems to be almost like fiberglass on my tongue, which took a good week or two to get over. Anyway. I would for sure give them a try. Its the first supplement I have tried that didn't piss me off just for trying to be dip. I will say, I also think it helped to have the nic bitch a few weeks out of my system. I just tonight ordered another 8 packs! On shipping- the regular USPS will take forever (nearly a full 2 weeks)!! it sucked waiting so long for it. I went with the priority this time. I'll let you know how quick it comes.

2nd- Yes I am still quit and rolling strong. I know that most peeps that drop off the map, pick it back up, but not I. Actually we had spoke about romanticizing dip, and I found that I started to do that here. I wouldn't think about it in the morning until I went to post roll, and then I would want to check my post reply's all day, and read other people's stories, and it put dip in my head all day. I know tons of dudes need that, constant support throughout, and I'm sure I will again soon, I will not knock it in the least bit. Just right now, out of sight out of mind has done me well. Sometimes you have to know what tool to use for the situation.

I am writing to let the guys know that invested time in my quit that I didn't bail, and appreciate everything, and in fact will probably need you again soon. I know I'm not out of the woods, and I know to come here and use this tool whenever I need it. A truly awesome community you all are. Thanks again brothers,

Glad you are still quit. But this place isn't for just coming and going as you please, and that doesn't sit well with us in June, at least me. This pisses me off quit a bit honestly that you think it's okay to just do whatever is convenient for you. This place isn't just about getting support when you want it, it's also about giving support, accountability, and brotherhood. And you are no brother of mine with your current mindset. This isn't facebook. We aren't here for status updates.
Well said JK! I'll stand by anyone who quits with the program. I needed this group to quit after 26 years of failed quits. If you can do it on your own great. But don't rub our noses in it. If you want to quit by yourself why'd you join? As for me, I'm posting my promise everyday with JK.

PS. RZa, Don't call us "brothers". My brothers post roll everyday with me.
Well put!^^^^^ Sometimes a special :scowick: comes along that don't need ktc they can do it alone all I can say is goodluck and hopefully want see you here with another day 1 and saying same shit all cavers say!
Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

I am accountable for that. I gave up on that excuse I put that red man in myself I caved fair and square you got me. I also put a tin in my mouth. I'm also on day 49 of quitting and in proud of that. I read that intro and I loved it. Proud of you for quitting but where have you been? You called me out on caving in calling you out on missing roll.

RZA, thanks for the status update. However, you still don't get it. I just typed out a whole paragraph, then saw that brother JKE had already laid it out for you spectacularly. We are not just a bunch of sniveling cravers holding each others hands, waiting to cave. We are building a net of brotherhood and accountability that will take us forward together. Your status updates do nothing for us and when you need that net, it won't be there for you...and as you said, you WILL need it. Get your selfish ass back in and start posting EDD.

Remember my friend everything you talk about and feel, we've all pretty much experienced it! I crave almost every day and I've been quit 101 days. But I know I definitely never want that shit in my mouth ever again! Thanks for your service! Remember anyone can dip but very few can defeat the nic bitch! I quit with you today!

Congrats on your quit and thank your for your service in the Marines ...

Napa, that is awesome advice!! I do romance and glorify the shit out of nic still! It sucks! But I see why I do... I mean there are things that I do all the time that I don't think I have EVER done without a dip in: Hunting, Clean my Guns, hunting, wax my snowboard, hunting, fishing, etc... Things that I LOVE to do, that have ALWAYS been associated with that shit I put in my mouth. Next week I am heading out to the range for the day. I have clean 10 guns before we go, and 10 after I get back. I think that will probably be the biggest test yet. I may lean hard on some bruvs those few days!

I do love the fact that I don't have to hide in the office and pretend to be working on something, or pretend to take an hour long shit, or stay up until 2am just to get one in after my wife goes to sleep. When you quit and look back on it... I always felt like a badass with a dip in, now I see I was more like a crackhead!! Pretty embarrassing really.

Love the intro, RZA. Keep kicking ass. Please get pissed at nicotine....I'd like to borrow your line for my signature ("you're not mad at me Daddy, your mouth is mad at you for not dipping, but I'm proud of you, so you can yell at me if you want!" since it hurt my heart as I remembered all the shit my kids had to go through in dealing with my nicotine addiction over the years. Glad you're quit....you should be proud...and it sounds like you've got a great wife and family to back you up. I'll quit with you every damn day!

Nice intro RZA,

Sounds like you have a good quit started. If I could give a little advice from an addict that's a few months ahead of where you are at today. That advice would be to quit romancing nicotine. It is not your friend, buddy, or a reward for completing a task. It is however a pesticide which was slowly killing you. As a former chew romancer, I can tell you those quits always end up getting fucked in the ass by the nic bitch. Learn to despise it for all the money it sucked out of your pocket and all the time it took from spending with your family.

Enjoy the mountain....I'll quit with you today

Thanks Fellas! I look forward to it! Have a great Sunday. I'm headed up the mountain to do some snowboarding with the fam, so its an easy day for me. I may think about it from time to time, but won't have a chance to do anything about it.

Great intro RZA. Thanks for coming forward. It's a tough road to stay quit but keep it up and read all you can. If you post roll and get involved quitting becomes so much easier. Proud to be quit with you today!
