Still rolling strong. Today (day 19) is my first "real" quit day, as I try going to work without a tin of smokey mountain. The last three weeks I'd just substituted smokey for the worm dirt. today I go without a crutch. Its 1pm here and so far so good. (the fake dip upset my stomach anyway).

Don't worry about using the fake too much, you will not get addicted to it. It is a tool to use when you need it, much like phone numbers, chat, and your intro. Lots and lots of quitters here say that one day they just put it down and never looked back. I never used the fake stuff, but I say if it works, keep doing it! That is why I post every day.

Use whatever works for you that doesn't have nicotine in it. I didn't use the fake, but a lot of dedicated quitters here swear by it. I just kept altoids, gum, seeds available, that part of it dropped away sometime before 100 days for me. You are a bad ass quitter whether you are using fake or not...

Whoa... Whoa ... Whoa.... Watchumean first real quit day?

19 days of quit is 19 days of quit brother! We do whatever it takes to keep NIC out of our pieholes and that includes using fake. Don't think for one second that you weren't quit during this time.

You were quit and are quit today. If you want to dump the fake ... Go for it, but don't not use substitutes or candy, whatever, because you think it makes you less of a quitter. In time, things will get better and maybe the things you used earlier in your quit won't be needed.... But don't rush it. The single most important thing is NOT to use NIC in any form. That is our commitment today.

QLF today!

Yup. I myself used smokey mountain for 5 or 6 months. Still have a can in my office and my truck just in case. Easy to drop, in fact I stopped using it without even realizing it!

quit is quit, there is no gray line to it.

Out of nowhere, I had 4 days of really bad funks and craves from 77-80. Almost like week 1 all over again! Then they just went away. The bitch is dying brother. We are almost to our first goal. After that? Onward, one day at a time! Quit with you today!

Welcome Randy, glad you are going to do it the KTC way this time. That way does work, there is tons of evidence to that right here replying to your intro!
Heed what WT says, this is an addiction, as strong as any illegal one. It will take will power and consistent effort to stay quit, but it is very doable.
PM me if I can assist you.

I want the whole team to be with me 100 days from now, the people (like myself) who probably may need some remedial help, there with the people who breezed through it.

The liars and cavers breeze through. Honestly I haven't seen a quitter yet breeze through.
Randy, I just posted 625 days this morning and I still have the support of my quit group and so many others here. From reading your intro (between the lines) I'm not convinced that you understand habit vs. addiction. You may think that you do, as a 40+ year addict I thought I knew what an addiction was but I never would have compared a legal substance addiction to illegal drug abuse (meth, heroin or other 'real' drugs). We are equally addicted. I think of the crazy things I'd do to feed my addiction. A person who would drive 140 mile round trip for nothing but a can of chew, trying to scrape up and seperate a accidentally spilled can from dirt and cow shit, I'm sure we could make quit a list of similar desperate moves. Embrace the suck, accept that you are and always will be an addict and quit ODAAT with all of us.

Welcome to a great decision.

(Basically I have 2 jobs where everyone around me dips. )

You now have three jobs. The 3rd,, Keep the poison out of your pie hole. Each day you add makes the next easier. Each trigger you beat makes the next one easier. Each stressful moment you make it through makes the next one easier. Get me!

You went a year in the past thinking you could control this addiction. It's uncontrollable for me and you. We are not allowed to just have one. Read and learn everything you can about nicotine and addiction. Learn your enemy,, It knows you!

Glad your here, need anything let me know.
