Day 35 yesterday was a tiring day for me and my group. One posted he is fed up with this shit, one sent a message he was going home to get away from people, I texted one to see if he was going to post roll and I have been pissed at the world for the past 3-4 days. Several others in the 30 -40 day range seem to be feeling this also it sucks.

I woke up today bound to be happy and try not to let things get to me. That was not to be. One of my quit group the one I prodded to post roll yesterday caved last night. This really sucks I feel maybe I could have done something to keep KK going.

Damn it KK that is all I can think about he was at 35 days. He stated he had a few beers and lost it. When you read the cave post they don't connect because you have not had contact with them but when they text you and you form a quit group it hits home.

Sorry for the ramble but this is my sounding board now.

After reading a couple other threads it looks like what I am going through is normal. My quit buddies are all feeling the strain as I am. We must get through this stage. Caving is not an option.

Day 34 This past weekend was tough I love being in the woods or out fishing. These are huge triggers for me so I have been doing these things a little at a time to get used to doing things without dip. Friday my daughter called home and told my wife her new camera quit working no big deal right. Well on Saturday my wife and daughter want the videos off the card. That is when I find out that the camera was knocked off a stool or whatever. I use a computer but am by no means a tech with them. After working for 2 hours I finally got the dang card uploaded to the computer and was pretty pissed off then they told that all they wanted was the 3 vids that where there not the rest it would not have taken so long if I would have just uploaded the movies. If you remember from my earlier post my fuse has gotten shorter so now I am pissed big time and then the craving starts. After watching the video that the camera was broken my daughters friend that broke it laughed all the way through whacking off whatever it was sitting on. 'bang head' Now the craving is getting real bad I just got up grabbed the rifle and got on the quad and went out in the woods for awhile. I started calming down and the craves go away then here comes 3 trespassers mushroom hunting I get the same crap every time that someone gave them permission to be there I explain that I pay the Taxes and the bank for the land they are on and to get the h**l off or the sheriff will be called. Guess what the freakin craves are back. If they would have had any mushrooms I would have really blown my stack.

I guess I am finding out that getting mad makes me crave the forbidden stuff so I am trying to find ways to avoid getting mad.

Writing this let me vent and I do feel better so take it for what its worth this site and the guys here are helping me.

Thanks I will make this quit stick.

Thanks Dean. Great story in your post I can imagine that happening here. The only difference we are all guys so things like that would be posted on the board like a badge of honor :D

So let it be written and so let it be done!!

Hi I quit April 1,2009 I waited to join you guys until the 6th. I have tried this quit thing many time before but I think I will win this time. I have used tobacco for over 40 years Skoal for at least 35 of those. I have only been married 24 years so the Skoal thing is hard to give up. Both my girls are involved with anti drug and anti tobacco clubs. I want to support them you have a website that is a no BS tell it like it is that is what I wanted.
Thanks for your support.
Day 21 life is getting better!
Day 27
I had a couple guys that answered roll call for me this past weekend. My wife could not believe that some one I have never met would do that for me and wanted to make sure I did not cave over the weekend.

This site is full of guys helping others get through this quit we all have one goal.

Thanks to the guys that backed me up!!!
