Okie - WTF Brother, I see you have logged in but I can not find where you posted roll. Really hoping I just missed it, but thinking I have not. No response to PM? What going on? Are you on Day 62 or not? It is uncomfortably quiet in here?

Today I had my first real temptation. A guy at work who forgot about my quit offered me a open can of cope LC wintergreen today. I really wanted to reach in and grab a pinch but I just said no thanks and continued of with our conversation. I am going to get some fake stuff for a road trip im taking soon and then keep the left overs in my desk for days like today cause truth be told I'm not sure I could have turned it down if he insisted.
Good work.

But if he kept insisting, you WOULD have kept saying NO.

Quit on...
Okie, you would have said NO again and again until he finally heard it and if he wasn't getting it then you would have walked away...far away. If at any point, you would call one of us right there. There are OPTIONS. Dipping is never an option. Guess what? I quit today! I'm gonna go to bed now and quit again. See u roll...resolute right? Bring it!

Great job bro. That was a big moment to turn it down right there. Kind of a milestone of sorts, congrats, you should be proud. I used to get nervous like that when in line at the gas station, afraid to look at the tins behind the counter. Now it's fun to stare those fuckers down.

As for fake I suggest Hooch, my fav.
Gosh, Mister, my teeth feel cleaner. But what about the hole in the wall?

Hang in there okie, I'm right there with you in the week 2 flashbacks. Without really knowing what's going on I've been finding myself fantasizing dip, but stop myself right when I start. If dip was so great, why did I want to quit with every passing day? Why did I hate the addiction so much? Because I was packing poison in my lips, and lots of it. Stop yourself when you start to fantasize it. Give yourself some credit, YOU created those good times, not dip. Removing dip isn't going to make the good times worse, it'll make them better.
-----^ Boom. You've got this Okie, stick with it.

Do you remember nicotine? Do you truly remember her? The way she controlled you financially, emotionally and physically? The lies she whispered in your ear daily? Remember how one dip was too many and one thousand was never enough? Yeah, so do I. That's why I'm here. That's why I post roll. That's why I support my brothers and sisters. Because I remember her too damn well.

Amen to jzzzag. Now, if you will excuse me I have to get back to seeing if that young lady struggling with that zipper in his pic ever fixes it.

Well here we are on day 8. I gotta say this blows. I'll take the fog any day and kick its ass all over the place but this trying to talk myself into dipping is getting old. I came to the conclusion this morning that I could snag a can of smokey mountain or some other fake snuff and then it wouldn't be a big deal to go back to the regular stuff when I ran out of the fake because its easier to get to. I didn't get any fake snuff but still what kinda half baked idea is that? I mean come on man that shit kills! I could beat the daylights outta myself for ever starting, stupid know it all teenager.

Anyway my ramblings are over. I gotta get back to work I just need to write that out. Thanks for listening.
Classic week 2. Out of the fog for the most part. Now you're thinking about all the good times you remember while dipping. Your mind is clearer now without the nic, so you're wondering why you're giving up all those "good times" you used to have.

(Imagine the big red X and the buzzer on Family Feud)

The good times you had were in spite of nic not because of it. All the laughs and jokes were because you weren't thinking about the poison seeping through your body at that very moment in time. The laughing was because you weren't thinking that someday you could end up having your tongue surgically removed and a permanent feeding tube put in. When you were joking with your buds with a dip in, you weren't thinking about telling your kids that you had terminal cancer and you would soon die from the selfishness of your ways.

No my friend. The nic wasn't the good times you used to have. You had good times in spite of nic. Now you have the tools to have good times free of nic slavery. You don't have to step out to sneak a dip and interrupt the actual good times going on. You don't need a dip. The NB will do nothing for you except bring you ever closer to the chamber with the live bullet in your game of Russian Roulette.

Stay quit, like the fog, this "rationalization" will too pass. Keep your promise today. Don't worry about anything before today or anything after today. Quit today and quit like your life depends on it.
Okie...
Amen to what jzzyzag said...

Especially the last line..."...quit like your life depends on it." Because...actually, your life DOES depend on this quit. Scream it out if you have to: I will QLF...EDD !!! We're behind you all the way. See your Inbox...digits there if you need them.
