Now the head game really starts.  Be ready.  Stay close.  It's going to get worse for a while.
Oh the head games are hitting me hard. For many years, I would have a dip in every single time I would do certain tasks......now I feel unmotivated and don't think I can accomplish the same tasks without a dip. I now fear I am going to fail at certain things because I can't dip. I fear I will fail at my work and lose my job too!

Dip has always gotten me through difficult and daunting tasks not to meantion helping greatly deal with stress. I have always said for years "just as long as I have my dip, I can do and get through anything". Now what do I have to turn to?.....yoga, meditation, fucking staring at walls? I'm not going to lie; I want my dip back....my friend. Life sucks without it. I know it was killing me but it helped me through so much.

But I made a pledge to myself, my family, and all of you.....and I'm not going to let down! This SUCKS!!
I bet the tip of your Dick is stained brown from all the times you fucked your can of posion. Did you dress it up and take it out on the town too? Buy it gifts, get it cards and candy on valentine's day? Did you ever propose to your tin? Sounds like you're still in LOOOOVVVVEEE.

Of course you can accomplish every task you did with dip, without it. Mother fuckers have landed on the moon without it. I'm sure you can make it through your day without it. A ton of people do it everyday.

You just need time and faith.

Time is self explanatory. You're not going to unravel all those years of posioning yourself in less than a week. They say time heals all wounds. The carnage dip has done to you're brain is no exception.

Faith is a little more difficult. You have to have faith in yourself. Faith in this site, faith in your quit group, those supporting you, and faith that you can live your life without dip...and that it wont suck. Your quality of life in no way should be determined by weather you posion yourself or not.

I know the beginning is tough. I was there too. Lost without a trace, no hope at all. But I kept faith in myself and this site. Over TIME my faith turned into confidence and confidence turned to belief and belief turned into KNOW...I KNEW I could live my life and do allllll the shit I used to do with dip...and still enjoy it.

I and the thousands of others on this site are proof that it can be done. If a pussy like me can do it, anybody can. You just need to give yourself some time and faith in the process.
Hey Screw, I second that. I thought Diesel was full of shit about 50 days ago. I am on day 65 today and I have an entirely different outlook. I am healing 1 day at a time and I am started to live my life without dip. A month or 2 ago I was writing things exactly as you wrote them today. I was thinking exactly as you are today. And now I am slowly returning to doing all the things I used to do. Only now I am doing them without dip. The truth is I never needed it, I only thought I did. the same is true for you. You will see, hang in there man. You dont have to be a slave any longer. Stay the course, you will see.
Yeah I know it's my brainwashed mind thinking I need the tobacco in order to do things. I think the hard part is overcoming and believing that isnÂ’t true so that it doesnÂ’t turn into a self-fulfilling prophesy. Thanks man.

LOL, well aint that the fucking truth when you but it like that.

I'm trying like hell to get this shit out of my mind. YouÂ’re right though it will take time and hard work. One positive thing I am constantly reminded of, which you mentioned briefly, is that many millions of people go about their everyday activities without chew or even any tobacco.....hell we all used to before that Bitch got us.

Whenever I start talking this shit I need a good bitch slap....it helps.

Thanks for the support dude.

STC,

Just keep on venting to this site, read others stories, take a good look at the cancer photos, read, read, read.....

Do it one day at a time.

Chew ran your life, time for you to take that control back. You can do this, just know its going to be a knock down drag out fight.

Do whatever it takes to keep that shit out of your mouth today. Repeat tomorrow.

The only way to beat the head game is to stay on top of how you think.

Dip has never, EVER helped you to do anything except to feed your addiction to nicotine. It was sucking on you, feeding on you, taking from you your health and money and dignity and freedom.

Congrats of a great choice, Screw. You're right...it will pass. Just when you get used to the suck, you'll notice that it lifted...a little. Each passing moment without nicotine makes you better.

You got this, brother!

Chew is an enemy that has hijacked your fucking mind, i should know, its had mine for a long time. Im new to this quitting game, but i will tell you this.....If you put tobacco on a pedestal and pretend it is doing anything positive for you it will be nearly impossible to quit. Once you accept that tobacco does absolutely nothing good for you it makes it much easier to walk away. I just finished my first week cold turkey, when a craving hits I take deep breaths and remind myself that chew gives me nothing and robs me of health and wealth. Talk to the vets on this site, guys who have been quit for a year or so. The insight they have to give is solid gold.
Cannaday, congrats to you on going cold turkey for a week now. I think you're absolutely right about not putting tobacco on a pedestal. This shit has most definitely hijacked my mind long enough; now it's my turn.......and yours too!

Well stated Cannaday. The insight you just provided is solid gold. 1 year or month quit you can take that to the bank Screw. Sounds like you got that "best friend" bullshit out of your head in a big hurry. That is just a bullshit addict lie that UST wants us to believe.
hey Screw, Welcome to the hardest thing you've ever done in your life. Being Quit.
You have not quit before. You were on a break.
We do this daily by quitting every a.m. and posting roll giving our word to ourself and our brothers that we will NOT put the poison in our mouths TODAY. You can do anything for a day, right?
We are a "no nic" group of addicts. We don't use pussy patches, goofy nic gum, smelly cigars or any other form of nictotine. We don't trade the big nic bitch for a little one! We don't try, we do!
It is a simple process:
1. post roll early in the a.m. promising not to use TODAY. (the earlier the better for your quit)
2. Honor/Keep your word to yourself and your brothers here on KTC
3. Get to bed, wake and REPEAT
Thousands have done this before us. YOU can TOO. One day at a time. We are nicotine addicts for life. But we are freedom loving addicts one today at a time.
Like the brothers said already...read, read, chat, read, share, give (when you can), take what you need and leave the rest behind and your days will stack up quicker than you'll realize. It does get MUCH better. LIFE gets more real and clearer. It is the most wonderful thing to be QUIT of Nictotine. The sun is brighter, food taste better, the air is cleaner. No more hiding, just pure living! Cheers brother! You got this...One day at a time 'zombie'
It is the hardest thing I've ever done and yesterday was one of the worst. Yesterday I felt like I was literally suffocating but I kept telling myself it will pass, it will pass as I pounded my fist against the wall. Today though, what a difference. I know its only day two but wow. Now I'm starting to realize how much of a complete moron I have been for the past 22 years dipping this stuff......fucking stupid.
