Keep up carrying that torch we are all here get numbers if you dont if u need one I can have mine pm me. Getting numbers is not ghey it adds another level of realism and accountability. Keep your guard up on the weekends have a safety plan...which involves pulling the trigger if u start to teeter. Keep your head up it gets better better beyond your wildest dreams.

keep digging 29029 dont just white knuckle it truly educate yourself...I would not temp her by being around the dip and smoke. Nicotine is one of the only substances that causes up regulation in your brain...which means basically that with other drugs you need more to feel it well with nicotine it actually causes growth of receptors so you need more because you have more receptors quite the opposite effect that other chemicals have.

All these saying here are not just sayings NAFAR is one that I am attached to also never again for any reason...some dont agree with that statement but its all I could see in the fog was that statement. We quit only once all the rest is just a stoppage. PM me you need anything.

Trauma, we are on the same wave length. I try to be a student of the physiology and psychology of the addiction, habit, and process. We have to fight on several fronts to make this stick. I am also attached to NAFAR, specifically because I know that one day I will come up with a reason to go back, or I won't be able to think of a reason not to. Adopting a blanket principal against it is the way I need to go. Thanks again for weighing in, I'm honored to have you in here.

Hey quitters, thanks for checking in. I'm still hanging tough, and I had a weekend surrounded by tobacco. Not only was the tobacco there, but it was in my favorite places to chew and smoke cigars. Long story, but at my favorite hotel, there is a fire where people traditionally smoke cigars. It was a nightly ritual for me in the past - even in the coldest of winter, and in the midst of snow, guests gather to smoke fireside and lakeside next to the best bar on the property. Hard to pass up, also hard was the ninja dipping I would do under the circumstances of the weekend.

But the truth is, it wasn't so hard that I had to make a real effort to avoid it - the logic and motive just don't align with my priorities any more. I am still conscious of the Traumagnet cautionary tale of the struggle to quit, the euphoria of reaching 100 days, the confidence of passing multiple years of abstinence, only to get a cancer diagnosis. We aren't in the clear just because we don't dip any more. So, yeah, tobacco didn't sound so good.

Right there with you on this User. Yesterday I played golf with some buddies that were smoking cigars the whole time we were out there. Typically I dipped while playing, but I would smoke cigars sometimes if I was playing with guys that didn't dip. Yesterday, I just watched them smoke away and I wasn't jealous or craving or anything really. I guess I was apathetic. It's just no longer part of my life. I've heard some guys on here refer to it as "slamming the door" and that's what it feels like for me. I had every opportunity in the world to kick back with a stogey yesterday, but I slammed the door on it, and I chose freedom. I'm quit with you today User, keep it up.

Yeah some people never dip and get cancer and some people dip there whole life and never get cancer but I'm thinking my odds of beating cancer increased tremendously but hey if you will look at some of the horrific pictures of oral cancer from nic and it don't make you thank God you haven't already gotten cancer or died from the shit then you obviously are inhuman! Quit on , not worth the chance, and if you're dreaming about it everyday you better buckle down.

Love this fucking thread. Seems like you are over a major hurdle, but keep your seatbelt on, the next few months are still filled with plenty of highs and lows. If I can add anything, and believe me with so much input so far here you won't need much. First, avoiding dip is inevitable, in the gas station, in someone's pocket, etc. when I was at your stage I was petrified to see dip. What I really came to learn is I wasn't fighting dip. I was fighting my addiction. That fight doesn't change whether you see dip in front f you or not. Second, tell your wife. I won't elaborate as it has already been spelled out for you so well above, but having my wife on my side has been a huge boost for my well being. Good luck.
