Thanks, Griz! And by the way, HUGE congrats for hitting the 100-day mark! Thanks for messaging me day 1 last week, I got a very necessary ass-kicking from the boards, but you also helped in encouraging me. I can't wait to hit the 100-day mark myself, and message you how great it feels. Thanks bro!

WT: HAHAHA! That's too awesome. Screw Verizon, and I would have loved to see that unfold live. I'll definitely keep tabs with you as well. I'm glad to have at least a couple of people to call on when I'm feeling the shit rage inside me!


Also, to anyone in the MN metro: If anyone knows of a couple places I can snag some fake chew, I'd be ever grateful. We're having a little sporting clays tournament amongst friends this weekend, and, while I'm going to stay quit, I know it's gonna be a huge bitch.
I'd like to try a tin today and see how it feels, rather than get a pallet online and end up hating it.

Thanks for the congrats!

I would tell you to goto the nearest Wal-mart they usually have the fake stuff, I use Smokey Mountain Wintergreen and it really does seem to help!

Quit on Quiter!

Day 6 for me. I had one wild night last night after work, that's for sure.
I felt great during work, nothing bothered me. Nothing could break me. All I needed was a couple handfuls of seeds and a half-pack of gum, and I was on top of the world.
Then I got home from work. Where the fuck did that rage come from?
I was driving to dinner with my roommates and a friend, and we were gearing up to watch the Kings/Coyotes game. One of my roommates always seems to know the right thing to fire me up, and boy, did he do it this time.

He pushed my buttons for a few minutes, like he always does, and all of a sudden, I fucking flipped. I haven't snapped on him since the day I threatened to bury him back in college, but this was a newfound rage. Needless to say, the rest of the drive was pretty quiet.

I calmed down a bit, and ate a shitload of food at the bar. My body was buzzing for a chew, and it must have shown. My friend asked if he was the reason I was so heated, and I told him I hadn't had a chew in 5 days, that I was quitting that shit.
At first, he laughed. He'd never seen me without a tin in my pocket. He had always talked shit to me when I threw one in my lip, but last night, he actually said he was proud of me. PROUD. I'd never heard him say that to me before, mainly because I rarely did anything that could warrant that response, but wow.

We all went back to the house, and watched the rest of the game. The Coyotes got murdered, but I had a great time. Watching hockey without a dip? I used to consider that impossible. Not last night. Not ever again.

Fuck chew and the damage it caused me before. And fuck me for sticking with it so long.

Will that brings memories flooding into my mind. Day 6 was my worst day it was rage for me also. I told a verizon store manager to fuck himself! My wife was shocked and embarassed.
It gets better soon. pm me if you need anything. stay strong and stay quit.

'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup'

Okay, so I met WT last week face to face. That definately had to be a nic rage. I could never see him telling a Verizon guy to go fuck himself.

WT your a diamond with so many facets! Wish I could have been there!

The rage will hopefully start to subside soon!

I know those first few days get so tough and you will have this hair trigger that has always been there but now you just need to put the trigger guard on and keep you sanity and friends, remember they didnt make you start chewing you did!

Great accomplishment of watching the game without a chew I know how many different activities I have had to get past that i would have normally had a a chew and now it doesnt even seem to want to fit!

Good work now keep on keeping on!

I wanted to keep an update, especially detailing my first weekend without chew in a loooooong time.

I drove into work on Friday, but without my usual chew. I'd throw a fatty in right after leaving my driveway, and take it out as I pulled into the company lot before, but I chewed gum instead.
I had a ton more energy than I usually did as I started my day. My mouth felt cleaner.

The day went on and I had a few big cravings. The biggest one came right after work, as I passed one of the gas stations I'd usually pick a tin up from. I definitely felt weird, and really thought it wouldn't hurt to put a pinch in. I kept going.

After getting home from work, I cracked my first beer of the weekend and fired up the Playstation. This is prime dip time for me, so I had my seeds alongside me as well  (Seeds are unbelievable craving-killers, I'm still amazed by them).

Friday night was, admittedly, hard on me. I was drinking and watching The Karate Kid to start the night, and I kept thinking about dip. I grabbed that damn bag of seeds, and went to town on them. Curbed my craving a good deal.

I guess, to summarize, I had a packed weekend, and did a lot of stuff I'd normally do with a tin in my pocket. Without it, I felt cleaner. In fact, yesterday's house cleaning opened my eyes a bit. Usually, when we clean bottles up at the house, I find some beer bottles had been turned to spitters, and pouring them out in the sink was always disgusting. None this week. I also wasn't afraid of opening my car's center console (where the tin was always hiding) in my girlfriend's presence. That alone was a motivator for me.

Here's to a great day of being chew-free.

Nice milestone there, Will. I like to call those "personal victories". There are many, many of them along the way. Be alert, look for them, and savor each one. It makes the battle much more winnable, IMO. Holidays, hunting/fishing trips, kids' birthday parties..... It's a long list.

Well done.

Thanks, Radman! I'm really focusing on the new positives that are coming up, because I know the next few weeks are gonna get shitty.

-Cleaner feeling mouth is #1
-No dip particles clumping up my car
-Absolutely no risk of drinking from my spitter (Good God, I dry-heave at the thought of that)
-One less thing to carry around (I'm a simple man)
-Money not being spent on tins

Thanks again!


Will

Hi,

I've been thinking all morning of what to say to this board. As you can see, I posted here back in 2010. Just about this time two years ago, actually, was the start of what I'd hoped was my lifelong quit from dip.

After graduating, I came back home. I'll tell you, nothing was as hard as staying quit during college finals. I persevered, and made it home without a lick of nic in my body.

Since then, I broke my quit, and stopped posting. I was ashamed, and still am. I'm back now because I am so sick of what I'm doing to my body and my wallet.

I want this to be over. I remember those nights during my first 'quit', and how I'd wake up in a cold sweat every night. I have to admit, I'm concerned with losing sleep again, but I know if I surround myself with positive people, and work through it, I can get over chew for good.

I want to kick my own ass for getting back into it, but it's time I get this shit-monster off my back for good.

I'll be posting for the August pre-HOF boards, come say hi.

Thanks,


Will

Way to familiar sound of........ I thought I had this licked and stayed away from the site......

You know there is a guy on here who has as part of his signature ..."You are not here by accident"

I wonder how many of us addicts think after we get to 100 days think they are cured and will be back like this guy???

I dont know you but I do know your addiction, you know the drill.

Post in August and your former group and be prepared to hear whats comming.....

What Happened?

Why Did it Happen?

What are you going to do Different?

Thanks, Griz.

Steve:
I was quit for just two months when it happened, but a friend of mine offered me a chew. I told him I'd been quit for a while at that time, and we left it at that. Five minutes pass, and I asked myself what it could hurt. I grabbed the tin and threw one in. It was the dumbest thing I could have ever done. Since then, I ripped a tin every couple of days.

The thing that's been different for me, especially in recent months, is that all of my friends that used to chew, have found ways to knock it off. One friend in particular has made a point to call me out every time he sees me with a chew. I haven't told him I started my quit today, but I'll be telling it to him in person tonight.

I will tell you this: Driving into work today without chew or spitters in my car was a pretty nice feeling. I feel better than I usually do after taking a horseshoe out of my mouth before the walk into the building.

You can't quit because your friends did, or your wife or kids want you too, You have to QUIT for you. Welcome back if you are truly ready to quit. What is different than two years ago.

I know I deserve some shit for caving. I knew that coming back in, and I am going to stay quit.

Steve, I appreciate it. I will make a plan to stay quit. Do you mean a daily plan?
I also only posted roll last time around. That was dumb of me. I never contributed with the group other than that. I can do better than that, and I can prove it. I'll take it day-by-day, but I can prove it over time.

I can and will be quit with you.

I will continue to watch your quit closely, reason being I hate to see someone fail when they suffered hard to get to their first victory!

I hope to see you help lead your group there are some serious bad ass quiters in August.

I really hope to see you drink the KTC kool-aid and quit not for anyone but for yourself, then you will know the freedom from killing the can!

Trade numbers with as many people in your group as you can they are your life-savers and the shoulders to lean on when you get around your buddies and everyones is walking around with fattys in their mouths!

They are also your accountability!

PM me if you need some numbers til then QUIT LIKE FUCK one day at a time!

Thanks, Griz. This time around, I'm definitely taking you up on it.
I barely participated last time. It'll take a few days, but I want to get acclimated to the boards. I can do better.

dude....you are young and stupid just like I was. I am 44 now and am quit for the rest of my life. Wen I was your age....same shit......I have seen this movie before....when i was your age, I gave it up for 5 years...not quit....just stopped.....then the bitch, cunt or whatever you call that god forsaken evil life sucking devil.....came back...... But you are not quit.You are stopped.....for now.... Get off this site. Go do your thing. And come back when you are ready. "when the student is ready.....the teach will appear."

QLF.....FTC....

Thanks for the inspirational advice. If you don't mind, I might just go the other way with it. Thanks, though!

I was quit for just two months when it happened, but a friend of mine offered me a chew. I told him I'd been quit for a while at that time, and we left it at that. Five minutes pass, and I asked myself what it could hurt. I grabbed the tin and threw one in. It was the dumbest thing I could have ever done. Since then, I ripped a tin every couple of days.

The thing that's been different for me, especially in recent months, is that all of my friends that used to chew, have found ways to knock it off. One friend in particular has made a point to call me out every time he sees me with a chew. I haven't told him I started my quit today, but I'll be telling it to him in person tonight.

I will tell you this: Driving into work today without chew or spitters in my car was a pretty nice feeling. I feel better than I usually do after taking a horseshoe out of my mouth before the walk into the building.

You can't quit because your friends did, or your wife or kids want you too, You have to QUIT for you. Welcome back if you are truly ready to quit. What is different than two years ago.

I know I deserve some shit for caving. I knew that coming back in, and I am going to stay quit.

Steve, I appreciate it. I will make a plan to stay quit. Do you mean a daily plan?
I also only posted roll last time around. That was dumb of me. I never contributed with the group other than that. I can do better than that, and I can prove it. I'll take it day-by-day, but I can prove it over time.

I can and will be quit with you.

I will continue to watch your quit closely, reason being I hate to see someone fail when they suffered hard to get to their first victory!

I hope to see you help lead your group there are some serious bad ass quiters in August.

I really hope to see you drink the KTC kool-aid and quit not for anyone but for yourself, then you will know the freedom from killing the can!

Trade numbers with as many people in your group as you can they are your life-savers and the shoulders to lean on when you get around your buddies and everyones is walking around with fattys in their mouths!

They are also your accountability!

PM me if you need some numbers til then QUIT LIKE FUCK one day at a time!

Hi,

I've been thinking all morning of what to say to this board. As you can see, I posted here back in 2010. Just about this time two years ago, actually, was the start of what I'd hoped was my lifelong quit from dip.

After graduating, I came back home. I'll tell you, nothing was as hard as staying quit during college finals. I persevered, and made it home without a lick of nic in my body.

Since then, I broke my quit, and stopped posting. I was ashamed, and still am. I'm back now because I am so sick of what I'm doing to my body and my wallet.

I want this to be over. I remember those nights during my first 'quit', and how I'd wake up in a cold sweat every night. I have to admit, I'm concerned with losing sleep again, but I know if I surround myself with positive people, and work through it, I can get over chew for good.

I want to kick my own ass for getting back into it, but it's time I get this shit-monster off my back for good.

I'll be posting for the August pre-HOF boards, come say hi.

Thanks,


Will

Way to familiar sound of........ I thought I had this licked and stayed away from the site......

You know there is a guy on here who has as part of his signature ..."You are not here by accident"

I wonder how many of us addicts think after we get to 100 days think they are cured and will be back like this guy???

I dont know you but I do know your addiction, you know the drill.

Post in August and your former group and be prepared to hear whats comming.....

What Happened?

Why Did it Happen?

What are you going to do Different?

Thanks, Griz.
