Last night was our first game of the season--first time coaching a game without a dip in my mouth--chewed so much gum my mouth hurts.

Today is 3 weeks with no nicotine. Was craving so bad last night and today. Feel like I cheated. I bought a can of Bacc Off. I don't wanna make that a habit, but I've been wanting to try some fake snuff out, just didn't think I was strong enough during that first week or so to even walk in the tobacco store..because that's the only place I can find that sells the stuff..kinda ironic.

Thanks to all the guys who've been posting support on roll in the November 12 group. I'm quit and it feels great. My family is so supportive of me. Glad to be freed from bondage..however, I know that I'm an addict. Failure is not an option for me..I have so much invested in this 21 days, kids, wife, mother, players, coaches, you guys--can't go back on my word with all that accountability and eyes watching.

Oh yeah...we were up 36-6 at the half..JV played the entire 2nd half and we won 49-26.
Hey BigDave - a little different coaching without it in isn't it???

I went through the same for 2 weekends as I coach baseball and when I decided it was in the middle of tournament season, so 1 of the weekends was a regualr tournament and the other was the states tournament (10 and under).

At the time I had bought the Hooch and Smokey mountain and do not believe I would have made it through with out them. But It was not the nicotene so it was a victory for me, so from what you say a victory for you too.

nice job coach for setting the 'new' example for the players.

I appreciate all you guys' advice and guidance...i need it everyday. Funny you mentioned alcohol clean fuel because today I smashed 10 beers, played 18 holes and didn't dip.  I'm not a big drinker just do it every now and then.

Mike..i appreciate you posting your day 8 story..it's good to see that someone has gone through the same and worse than me and is still going strong.

I tell you guys...i guess I didn't realize how nicotine worked...i always thought of snuff as something little..just a bad habit that could cause gum loss and tooth decay..i always thought the cancer thing was a long shot. I'm amazed at how my body and mind is adjusting to not having it...kinda like Brooks in Shawshank Redemption.

I'm staying quit though..can't go back to the red seal state of mind.
Thought the same thing bro. I NEVER thought the MENTAL part of the addiction wad so strong. They ought to put that shit on the can!!!! Fuck it though. I am full life living proof that it does get better. I spent the early days of my quit convinced I would never feel "normal" again.

I could not sleep, I cried almost every morning as I drug myself out of bed (yeah I'm a big pussy), I questioned EVERYTHING about my life and if everything I built up over the past 15 yrs was fake and only SEEMED great because of dip. I quit believing in myself. I lost all confidence in who I was and literally felt hopeless.

Well guess what mother fucker's. 63 days later with some help from the Doc and after continuing to live my life day after day and doing shit without dip (and not dyeing)along with support from cats on this site my confidence began to grow and grow and my attitude changed dramatically.

Now I KNOW I can live without dip. I haven't "won" and the battles not over but God Dammit it feels great to go from hopeless to HOPEFULL!

You may not be as bad as me but hang in there man. Things get better. When I first quit I NEVER thought that was true even though peeps told me they would. I'm shooting straight from the hip here, as one of the biggest negative Nancy's ktc has ever seen. Shit will get better!

I can't fucking sleep....one week with no nicotine...it should be out of my system right? I just wake up all the time and get restless..i should be asleep right now but I can't. I used to sleep like a machine. Doing that shit like it was my job son.

Out of your system, yes or maybe. Is your body adjusted...Nope.

Your mind and body have to rewire. It is like folding your arms opposite of what you are used to.

It is soooo much better but the adjusting phase is what you are experiencing.

Bravo for making it a week. I'll be honest, I though you were a tobacco humper. You are kicking ass. Just see it to 100 and then look back.

Stay quit and on day 100 look back and you will smile and say, "That hell was worth it. I love being quit and I won't go back to hump that can. NEVER!" Freedom is so worth the price you have to pay right now.

I am 144 Wins and zero Loses since KTC became my coach. I love being undefeated with the nic bitch. I plan to stay undefeated by only worrying about beating my opponent today. I don't care about tomorrow. I must win today so tomorrow I can still remain undefeated.

It sucks. Love every minute of it! I know I sound like a dick. I am one but I am quit and I hope you stay quit. Hate me because I won't accept your surrender to that cat turd.
Big Dave.. I feel you Bro.. the following was a post i made on day 8.. In the morning will be day 56.. some nights i now sleep better than ever.. some nights still not so much.. I was up at 3:30 this morning.. It's all in day's quit..

Day 8.. Life of a Quitter.. Bitching like hell!
I need some help today... I thought day 5 was bad! Day 8 was a nightmare! I guess I have been maybe sleeping 3 to 4 hours a night.  it's pretty shitty sleep.. even with melatonin and some other sleep aids. Yesterday I had to spend quite a bit of time in my truck driving. I had about a 2 hour road trip, each way.. The entire fucking time I was fighting sleep! I was so sleepy.. I would yell and sing and roll the window down.. roll it up.. stick my head out the window.. the entire trip was a struggle to stay awake.. I knew that if only I had some dip... all this would go away.. well I did not cave! I get home last night.. my girlfriend came over she was suppose to be here at 7.. she was late of course and I let her fucking have it! (she is always late, last night just chapped my ass more than usual).. so we got into pretty much a knock down! This morning after about 3 or 4 hours of shitty sleep I am here.. thinking is it really worth it?? I am getting depressed.. I am very tired.. if i get to the point if I really think I am going to drink over this.. I will dip! If i drink all bets are off for me in life in general!  I will be doing much more than dipping. Dip will be the least of my worries if I start drinking again after 9 years.. I need some real experience..strength..  hope today.. not this "be a man horse shit!" I am a fucking man..  I have manned up showed up and fought more days in my life than you can imagine..

dude....i feel you.....awwwww......the early days.......so important.....now here is some advice you wont hear a lot around here.....but i actually drank more than usual in the early days.....it was not a trigger for me and did not make me weak - but absolutely helped me sleep.........be careful tho - for a lot of guys drinking is a trigger......
Quit 04.02.2012 --- HOF 07.11.2012 --- 5 Years 04.02.2017

Now I am the Voice. I will LEAD, not follow. I will BELIEVE, not doubt. I will CREATE, not destroy. I am a Force for God. I am a Leader.

A promise not kept is the road to exile.

If quitting is cool, consider me Myles Davis.

Unless you bring value onto my 1/2 acre, I don't want to hear it.
