Intro

[ParadigmDawg]

Went to Walmart for some Smokey Mountain. Had been debating whether to use the fake dip to curb the crave or try to ignore it but I figure anything is better than letting the bitch even mess with my head.

So, I go to Walmart  inquire in the pharmacy where they keep it, surely it's not at the tobacco counter.....but of course it is. Test #500,000 in the past 4 days.

Get to the counter at the same time as a couple with 2 kids  2 FULL carts. I have nothing. She immediately starts emptying the cart on the counter, basically cutting me off..... Now I have NOTHING in my hands  am obviously at this counter for a reason.... 'bang head' 'bang head' 'bang head'

Anyway, I stand patiently as they ring up $225 worth of items, then she realizes that they food stamp card she has is old  can the clerk hold this counter for "just 5 minutes" so she can run home  get the new card.....

All this while, every tobacco product in God's green earth is staring at me  I stared right fucking back. No way nic, you bitch, you're not using this rude woman as a personification of a fail  cave. No way. Not today, I posted roll.

I smiled  told the clerk I didn't mind waiting if it was easier on him. He ended up suspending the transaction  then was blown away that I was waiting on Smokey Mountain. I bought a can of straight  a can of Wintergreen  he was asking me questions. I told him I was on day 4 of my quit  needed just a little help for the cravings. He was the first person to congratulate me on my quit outside of this site.

I literally looked nic in the eyes today  gave her the finger. It's a long road but I know I'll be ok the rest of today.

Nice win...luckily you weren't at day 26 and your temper had kicked in at full force or that food stamp card would have been up that lady's ass!

On my first night out for drinks after my quit, I was already nervous and was trying to make sure no triggers would be present. I'll be damned if the only parking spot I could find at the bar was across the street at a Tobacco Shop...

nice work. YOu are winning the battle.

Damn fine job golfer. So how is the wintergreen taste anyways? I've also been debating on getting some smokey because on day 11 , the back of my jaw is sore and I'm grinding my teeth like I'm hungry cause my body is screaming for oral fixation. I been just takin it the old fashioned way, but if the wintergreen is any good I may try it out

You go get it bro.. I like that quit, hell yeah. I have had enough too. I hate worrying, I hate the thought of another surgery or losing my tongue. I hate having to plan to have enough to get through a trip or a vacation or a work day. I'm tired of this shit running my life too. It is a load of crap.

You know what Golfpro, I agree completely with you. I quit for the same reasons. Screw her, I'm better, worth more than nic, I have dreams she can't destroy, I have a responsibility that I want no one to take my place of, I want my life as long as I can have it. I take back my life from the Nic Bitch and make it mine.

You got this dude. Use the tools, believe the elders here. They are bad ass quitters. They know the ropes, they have seen it all, we are beginners but quitters. Glad you are here my man.

I've had enough of needing it. I've had enough worrying about which pouch would be the one to cost me my tongue. I've had enough double checking my can was full enough before heading to the course. I'm tired of this shit running my life while I stress about getting sick  dip more to calm the stress. What a load of crap. I'm tired of the cravings. Screw her. I've found KTC  I will follow the plan.

Thanks Mogul. I'm about to put day 3 behind me  hit the bed.

Remember bro if quitting was easy than everyone would do it. It's going to be tough. But freedom is so worth it. I remember running up to my local gas station at 11pm at night. 5degrees outside. Dog starts barking and wakes up the whole house. All because I was a SLAVE to the can. Take your life back buddy. We are all here doing the same. One day at a time. Welcome to KTC.

GP... You made a great decision today my friend. As stated... This is the greatest place on earth. This place saved my life. I was a shell of a man 170 days ago. My life revolved around a silver topped can of Copenhagen. KTC will give you the tools you need to quit dipping. I believe that 100%. However, be aware that a tool is only as good as the person using it. Know this... Your quit will come down to YOU and your determination. I was a slave for 25 years and I am quit. I know you can do this. Get ready and let's do this. Quit with you today.

[Mogul]

OK, golf man. congrats on another day of Nic free. No apologies necessary for the fog. We all get that. I just want to hear some conviction from your heart. I want something to sink your teeth into. I want you to feel this quit, to quit like you are digging yourself out of a grave. Someone has buried you but you are still alive. Think about how you would claw your way out. You would use tools, leverage, save your air, get pissed, get scared and then get pissed off even more. Nothing could stop you. That's what I want out of you. I never ending fire that beats the shit out of the Nic Bitch. Fuel it my friend, fuel that fire. Kick her ass every day one day at a time.

[golfpro9696]

I really don't have a good reason besides the usuals. I have a 5 year old son  lately when I've been kissing him good night I've had visions of what a future would look like if I got sick because of Copenhagen.

It's also a REAL expensive habit  I've been noticing it more  more lately. I've stopped a few times before but never had a real support system to go with it, so I'd cave during a golf trip with the boys and then the cycle would start all over.

The fog is really heavy today  I'm having some trouble putting throughts together so I apologize if I sound rambling. I also looked around for some non-tobacco dip around town but no luck so settled with jolly ranchers. I don't want to dry out with sunflower seeds  everybody at work would think I was nuts.....I hid my addiction well at work.

But, here it is 5pm and I'm nicotine free another day. I'll be reading more here tonight after I tuck my boy into bed.

Thanks again for all the support!

golfpro, I welcome and congratulate you for finding KTC. It has been a life saver for me. It can be for you too. If you don't mind, please let us know WHY you threw that can out the window. Why are you quitting? This is not a trick we are just trying to get inside and learn more about you and we can straighten out any curves in your quit reasoning.

There are some bad ass quitters on your team. That can't be beat if you give them a chance.

Mogul

[Grizzlyhasclaws]

One day at a time, Golfpro. Just pledge to your KTC brothers and sisters every morning that you will have no Nicotine for the rest of that day, and then simply honor your word. That's all you have to do. It's easy. There's tons of reading here for you to help strengthen your quit. Read it all, it will help.

[copingwithoutcopen]

We decide we don't want to do that anymore each day, no matter what. No mulligans here, GP. Welcome!

[wmcatty]

Nice job of posting Roll in the March group Golfpro. Go to the welcome center (Salmon colored tab) and that will get you started on the reading materials.
We are here to help and support you all the way, but the hard part is going to be up to you. Get your seeds, hard candy, atomic fireballs and fake dip ready, and get set to dig your heels in and quit. Grit your teeth when things look shitty and power through the bad feelings. Remember two things: 1) One Day At A Time; 2) No one has ever died from quitting!! Finally, look up at your Inbox(1). That is a personal message from me with my telephone number. Call me when you need to talk to someone about any problems you are having 24/7. Congrats on the best decision you will make. Wayne
