I know I should stay away from the oral fixation ...... I do however have sever case of adult ADHD so i am already on edge and constantly having to move or fidget. Tobacco used to be my fix. Not anymore! I need to find a replacement. I wont fall back into the can.
Sunflower seeds and gum. Try different flavors to mix it up.

You can do this!

I wonder if you drink a shit ton of coffee as well? If yyou truly have ADHD and that wasn't just a figure of speech, There is a possibility that you are using stimulants (nicotine) to self medicate. Just a thought. Have you tried adderal or Vyvanse? etc? Maybe you just have ants in your pants?
I physically have been diagnosed recently with adult ADHD about 4 in 100 adults have it. I dont drink coffee or anything like that except rarely. I would believe that i used tobacco to self medicate. I do need to get on meds but in the past i hated the way they made me feel. Not to mention i get dependant on stuff too easy and dont want to trade one vise for another.

"CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit. After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco."

I dont know where else to post this. What is the best dip alternative. I have heard hooch is good. Have any one you ever tried any of the brands? 

Thanks
there is a thread for fake dip in the Wildcard Section under non-dipping discussions toward the bottom of the main Quitters Support page. Hooch spitfire is he closest to Cope for me. The wintergreen and Mint are pretty good as well. the texture is very much like the real thing. Smokey Mountain has a good tasting wintergreen. The texture is a bit off and it makes a sticky mess out of your fingers. I am not to fond of the regular flavor. My 2 cents worth
That's about where I stand as well.
Do yourself a favor bro. Stay away from the fakie. You don't need it. Deal with the oral fixation now. It will take damned near all 100 days to do it but when you are done...guess what...you are done. Done and truly free. No crutches, no shackles...FREE!

Have not yet????  You posted roll today so caving is not an option.  100% off the table.  No nicotine.  No way out of it.

You give your word.  You keep your word.
Same here. On day two, going from 2 cans a day to nothing. What seemed to help me a lot was getting rid of all of the spitters that I had scattered around the house and in the car - in hindsight it appears that I hoarded plastic bottles, just to make sure there was always one there within arm's reach when I needed it.

I don't need them today. Won't need 'em tomorrow either.
That's funny...I never realized just how many bottles I had laying around until I didn't need them anymore.

TL3...Great job posting roll today. You can do anything for ONE DAY. Wake up tomorrow and quit again...repeat every single day. The first week blows, but you have a safety net with all of your brothers and sisters here. You get a craving; tell it to fuck off. You feel like caving; call someone. If you face this like it's the most important thing in your life (it is, by the way), you'll get more support than you can imagine here. If you waver and don't reach out to someone, you'll get more shit than you can imagine here.

Sounds like a pretty easy choice to me. ;)

PM if you need a number. Glad to be quit with you today.
