You guys really saved me again. I will remain nic free. This site works and all of you have come selflessly to my aid when I need it most. I will never forget. When I'm in a better place mentally with this addiction I want to give back.....be there for you all sharing my experiences and helping others.
No thank you is required. That is how this site works, its called Brotherhood. Just focus on you right now. Post roll, keep your promise. Be selfish with your quit, it is OK. In fact it is even advised, at least for the first 100 days. Help out where you can, but only if it helps you. Guard this quit with your life friend. It is very probable that your very life depends upon it. This is serious shit bro. You scared me yesterday. Keep putting up +1s.
BOOOOM!!!

Nice work...

June bros! We are here for you! shocker
Glad to see your out of the woods STC. What you were feeling yesterday was so much like I was feeling a week ago. When I hit the 30 mark I don't know what happened,, I felt good before that. All the sudden, baaaaam. The nic bitch came out of no where and dangeled that shit right in front of me. She gave me a dream all about it with smell, taste and memory. I had a rough couple of days and it gradually tapered off. You have a badass quit going on,, keep it up! We are taking this all the way to the house STC.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

I would give anything for a dip right now. Life has been extremely stressful lately and IÂ’ve always had my tobacco to help me through these timesÂ….know IÂ’m not alone on this one. There's nothing like that euphoria-like "ahhhhh" feeling of when you firs put a dip in and that self-confidence that you can take on the world and win. What takes the place of that? Anyone? I'm resisting with all my power but it fucking SUCKS....and life SUCKS without it! It's been 28 days.....when does the treachery and torture end? Does it ever end? Anyone? Fuck!
Do you know why you're not going to take a dip? Because you're not a pussy. Because you don't want to be hooked on a chemical that will kill you in one of the slowest, most agonizing ways possible, in front of your loved ones who will sit there watching you die. Because you want to wake up tomorrow and be happy...so happy...that you didn't cave. Remember, you quit. No option for opening the door again.
I know your right man. Thanks

It gets better.

However, you're letting the nic bitch whisper her lies to you. Nicotine didn't give you confidence or any other positive things.

All that dip did was curb the withdrawl you were feeling since the last dip. That's it, nothing more than that.

Years of feeding that addiction makes you think it's some wonder drug, but all it is slavery. You know that. You don't really want one. Tell that nic bitch to go to hell and take control.

Fuck slavery. Never again.
STC your bullshitting yourself right now you know that right? When was the last time you got that "ahhh" feeling you speak of?? Years and years and years ago! Your 28 days into this quit so it all mental brother. Now is the time you reach down in those drawers, grab them fuckers,and tell the Nic Bitch to get bent.You are right quitting does suck at times, but it's also the most rewarding,most satisfying feeling I have felt since the birth of my daughter 17 years ago.You want to talk about self confidence, why in the fuck do you think sticking that worm shit in your face makes you anymore of a man?The rewiring process of your quit takes months and months not days and days man.Slow down and worry about what matters "today".Stay quit today and worry about tomorrow then. PM me if you need anything.OOh Yea......QLF today!!!
Hey Screw, I know exactly where you are man. When I go back to my intro on that 30 day mark I was crying out with the same wonder that you express today. Your words sound like my words exactly. Your addict mind is trying deparately to convince you that "you need it", "you want it", etc. It gets better man, keep fighting. You only have to win today, trust me, trust all these guys.

Lets get this straight, when you were dipping you wanted to quit. Now that your quit you want to use. Only one of those things can be the TRUTH, the other is a big fat LIE. I think it is pretty easy to figure out which is which. Call me man, anytime. I have been right where you are today. I will PM you my number.

This mindset needs to go bro! You need to find another way of relieving stress.

There are two things I don't miss about dipping... the hole in my wallet and that feeling of a first dip. I prefer my hard earned cash go towards other things. I never enjoyed the buzz of dipping. I dipped to reduce the anxiety of my crave for nicotine.

Now that I no longer crave the nicotine, I feel great! The physical cravings are thwarted with a mint or a piece of gum. The triggers for a crave are avoided by finding activities that reduce the trigger. Over the past month I have developed ways to divert my thinking away from a crave and before I knew it I have forgotten all about the craving. Now when I get a crave I often forget about before I can act. Feels great to have come this far.

I tell you what, if you've come this far and then you decide to throw it all away... we in June will be thoroughly upset.

Never Again For Any Reason!

tobacco will not help you screw the chew,, you know this.
you would give anything??? where I live all I'd have to give is 5 bucks, 5 bucks to piss away all the days quit I've stacked up, 5 bucks to shit on my quit and my word, 5 bucks to shit on my brothers and sisters here. I wouldn't take a dip if you paid me, screw giving my hard earned money to hurt myself and my family here. As for what takes the place of the pride in youself that you think chew used to give you - yourself man, be proud of yourself, you can do anything you did with a dip without one, except look like a tool with a cat turd in his face...
