Stupid Can

[SirDerek]

So I just had the most interesting night of my quit.  I'm at Day 7 today in my quit.  I've enjoyed chew with my two older brothers for years.  Shit, my oldest brother gave me my first chew about 16 years ago.  I haven't been around anyone chewing since I quit, and I knew they would be chewing tonight.  So I am with my dad and 2 brothers to go watch the T-wolves tonight and he picked me up.  I grabbed a water for the ride and a bunch of mints.  I jump into his car and he hands me a plastic bottle and says I figured you would want this for a spitter.  He has never brought me a spitter for a car ride that I was going on with him in his life.  I didn't realize how weird that felt to tell him, "I quit man".  He was nice and cool about it.  He stopped and picked a tin up and started chewing on the way down to the game.  I got one wiff and am just thinking what did I do to deserve this.  Trying to get my quit on here.  Popped a mint for myself and just took about 5 deep breathes.  My quit slowed down to One minute at a time all night.  When he dropped me off to end the night I couldn't have been more proud to make it back NIC FREE.  I thought of the people on here countless times tonight and am proud to be quit today with all you.  Biggest Battle I've Won So Far.  Quit on boyz...Positive Mental Attitude.

Fuckin' A dude. Nice job.

KrazyStu you are a fucking badass man. I mean that. And Im proud of you bro. Each an every victory you get is huge. You are going to face more triggers and battle more battles, some are going to be little and require about 1 minute to defeat and some are going to be all day all out war like on my day 17 an my day 42. Always keep a quit plan bottled up in your head. Always have an out or a coping method like you did with your mints and water. Again man. Huge victory and im proud to quit with you.

Stu - remember this night, you won

Great Job

Way too stand up stu. I had doubts about you. You sound like a quitter now.

[Mogul]

This is some good reading. Excellent quitting going down.

New quitters, there are some very good lessons in this intro. Go read from the beginning.

Stu, I can tell you own up to your mistakes and you don't want to make excuses. You're a good man and you deserve a good life. But one of you must die, either the nic or you. Who is it going to be?

[Winter Green]

KrazyStu, you keep putting up those + 1's man. Quitting is an awesome thing and you are doing it. QLF all day today. I know I will!

[Krusty]

I can relate so much more to this today.  It's starting to get better.  I know the road is long, but I'm going to enjoy rewiring and figuring out how to do everything like a non chewing addict.  I'm starting to feel a little freedom and it's getting easier to push the evil whispers away.  This is going to be a fun ride and I'm finally ready to embrace it.  Keep quitting Bro.

Stu - it's obviously still early days in the quit for both of us, but I couldn't help but notice the meaningful improvement in tone  confidence between your roll posts  intro updates from Feb 3rd to today. I mean, you were (understandably) sounding like you were in a fragile state at the beginning of the week in your roll posts, and by week's end you're letting fly with a priceless quote from a brilliant movie. Well done, man -- keep it up!

Sounds like you're loving your quit. And true love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show ready to double team your girlfriend...

QLF, bro.

[Shorthorn]

Keep up the good work Stu... you are a quittin mo fo now!

[tarpon17]

The steps I will take so I will not cave are as follows...I'm taking everything one day at a time...even one minute at a time...one deep breathe at a time...I'm waiting for the fog to clear...I'm trying to embrace the new lifestyle instead of being scared of it.  My mind gets cluttered with trying to hypothectially put myself in spots where I might be offered Nic and I try and think of every possible scenario I need to put myself in to succeed and beat the tough urges.  I am keeping my self away from Cstores and other places that sell the shit for awhile.  Just pay at the pump.  Whatever it takes to keep it out of me.  I like SD comment about looking at a family picture before you cave.  I will pull out my phone before i put that shit in my face and check out a few pictures of my family.  Anything to get the crave to past.  I'm going to keep posting roll, reading stories from other peoples post.  I try and jump in the chat room a couple times a day.  Read everything I can.  I just read an old post from Loot that said PMA (Postive Mental Attitude)  I'm going to have the best attitude I can towards this.  If there are any other suggestions I am all ears for the help.  Anything I can add to my plan i will embrace.  I'm happy to be quit.

What are you going to do at midnight when your skin is crawling and you feel like you can't fight it any more?

I'd wake my wife up and let her know. She's nothing but on board with me and has been great with giving me room when I need to get through the fog. Then I would go look at every one of my daughters and if that wasn't enough I would jump on here and either go into a chat or just start reading.

You got it Stu, at all cost stay quit. You can do it i know that. We all are

Great work Stu. Just stick close to the site. If your resolve falters, read up on the site. Get in chat, text a brother. Thats how it rolls here, thats how you stay quit.

carry on!

[Krazystu]

Stu- I think your mistake is in posting roll when you don't really want to quit. I was in that mode for a couple days, where every night I would throw out a tin and say I was never chewing again, then buying one in the morning as soon as I thought of chew, usually before breakfast. That is before I was posting roll just looking around for a few days.
Since we are all addicts, everyone knows exactly what you are doing.
What none of these guys can stand is that you keep posting roll, which is not a place to hope for the best while hedging your bet. It is a promise to yourself and everyone on this site that you are not going to chew today. You have broken that at least 50% of the time you have made it.
That means you are a fucking liar, or a total fucking pussy.
There is NO FUCKING WAY you used more chew than I did over the last 20 years, so don't fucking act like you can't quit. I did it and you could too if you stopped being such a fucking pussy.
I quit, and now I am embarrassed and disgusted that I waited as long as I did. It is fucking easy when you stop feeling sorry for yourself, and decide to act like a man.
Unless someone is holding you down and forcing the chew into you, it is all about choices, and you need to stop making bad choices.
Unlike the veterans who have probably seen too many liars come through this site to give a shit, I will talk to you any time. Good luck.

I'm starting to feel a little freedom and it's getting easier to push the evil whispers away. This is going to be a fun ride and I'm finally ready to embrace it. Keep quitting Bro.
