Day 346


I'm at a point where the idea of dipping is very foreign to me. I cannot, at all, picture myself buying a can and packing a lip. I can't fathom being on spitter-watch in public garbage cans or being a ninja dipper or monitoring my mucous membranes for signs of cancer.

I can't even picture enjoying a dip or, more importantly, the habit. And that's very new to me.

Fucking classic.

I used to buy coffee and spill it out. More money wasted, but I think we all did the public garbage thing. I always hated putting the bottom lip on the top of that germ infested bottle.

Dean is it possible you still have an oral fixation because you DO use Smokey Mountain? Rockface does not like that solely for the reason that Loot points out, breaking the oral fixation. What came first the chicken or the egg? If you never had used SM, would you still have oral fixation? Or did you use it eventually when you had massive crave?

I only speak from my own experience. I didn't go seeds, gum, fake shit route because i didn't want nothing in my mouth....

Gashboy: my oral craves stopped when I stopped using seeds. Maybe Rockface is right...your oral thing may be tied to the SmokeyMtn.

Truth be told...I do chew sugarless gum here and there, and I guess it's a bit of a crutch. But I don't really crave it. Don't really crave anything anymore ('cept poonie, but that's a whole other story).

So I was in the C-store this morning on the way to work. Long line. Biggest seller? 'baccy. This guy gets three packs Marlboro, that guy gets two tins of Cope, this lady gets pack of Kool filter kings. Theo just wants a pack of Trident.

...and he feels pride in that. And he feels pity on all the poor fuckers in line to purchase a little more death.

Day 346

The quit is in a very weird place now.

The craves aren't like they were 200 or 300 days ago. It's like they're now in my marrow instead of right on my fingertips, and they speak Urdu or Cantonese or some other fucking language I don't understand, but I still HEAR them and know what they're saying is no good. What's worse, they seem to come screaming in real quick-like, do some heavy damage and then evaporate, leaving calm in their wake.

My craves are now kamikaze. Goddamn imperial Japanese craves.

But it's no big deal. Why? Because dipping is really, truly, absolutely not an option.

And this brings up more weirdness.

I'm at a point where the idea of dipping is very foreign to me. I cannot, at all, picture myself buying a can and packing a lip. I can't fathom being on spitter-watch in public garbage cans or being a ninja dipper or monitoring my mucous membranes for signs of cancer.

I can't even picture enjoying a dip or, more importantly, the habit. And that's very new to me. Since Day 1, I have been able to recognize the upside of quitting. But until recently, I always felt like I would enjoy a dip or have a much easier existence if the habit was back in my life. No longer. I feel like, today, I'd enjoy a dip about as much as I'd enjoy chomping down and filling my molars with my own shit.

So WHY am I packing Smokey Mountain right now, as I write? Why do I sometimes find myself in a goddamn seed and water frenzy, like a squirrel who ate a block of D-Con? Why do I still feel that void so acutely, so often?

The real weirdness is that, now, not even dip will help me fill the void, yet I still feel it, and I feel it because of dip...because of 15+ years of addiction. Know what I mean?

I still use Smokey Mountain. Its great shit when you get those hard core craves and as you say "need to fill the void". Might not work for everyone but it works for me. I can actually go for a couple of days and NEVER think about a chew. I love that part of my life. Freedom. But some days suck salty balls and and I have Smokey Mountain to help get me through it. Glad Dean is out there to add perspective and let me know I'm not alone.

Cheers

I thank Theo for the kind words - especially because I am pretty sure I am not remotely funny anymore. The quit has taken flattened my sense of humor. For instance, I laugh at "Designing Women" now. Like it's nobody's business.

Another note: SWJ's "My Page is Better Than Yours" is, indeed, better.

But since I am here, let me share a tale:

My two-year-old loves shitting. We've actually been plopping him on the toilet for several months now, and he sits and shit and talks to me about stuff. He even provides running commentary, such as "That was a big one...big toot." But anyway...

I decided to run a gag on my wife earlier this week. Jack finished pooping, and I scooped him up and called my wife into the bathroom. With a concerned look on my face, I turned her attention to the toilet bowl.

She peered down and saw a lot of poop....along with a paperclip, two dimes, an apple stem and a piece of dry cat food.

Jack must have known - by instinct - how to take part in a joke like this, because as soon as she saw the scary, dangerous mess in the bowl and shouted about it, he started crying as if he was injured.

My wife has asked both of us to move out.

I absolutely MUST copy that stunt...my younger son just turned 3 and is likewise a poopin' machine with a tremendous sense of humor. That's GENIUS!

[loot]

the last thing you gotta do is break the oral thing. then you can move on.

as for still feeling it...its kinda like losing an old friend. you've established a multi-year relationship. it aint going away easy. sometimes you may think back on it longingly...sometimes with disgust...but you are gonna think about it. question is...how do you react to it.

you know it wouldn't help...yet you still like having your sack stroked. its part of healing. that too will pass...in time.

thanks for the post

LMAO - CLASSIC!

Who cleaned it out, btw, you sick fuck?

Oh, I just flushed it, Glenn. It's a toilet, after all.

One of the dimes did not flush, though, and I am thinking about using that toilet as a wishing well.

I really need to get back in the habit of visiting this little buffet of fun. I just spent the last 30 seconds laughing myself to tears. Now I am back to my "I hate Monday's" attitude.

BUMP. Just because we've got a whole crop of fresh quitters who are going out of their minds at the moment. This intro thread (along with SWJ's labelled "My Page is Better Than Yours") represent some of the funniest, most distracting origional man-prose on this site. Start from the beginning and marvel at the majesty.
