Been a few days since I posted any updates, here is my Day 10 reflections:

This quit is totally different that my previous attempt. I don't know if it is because I used nic. lozenges to wean off the nic bitch, or just the fact that I am for myself 100% done chewing.... I have cravings, but my thought pattern this time is "oh... nic craving, you evil bitch, die" vs. previous time when my brain was more like "oh I miss you chew"!...

I don't know it that sounds as retarded and stupid to everyone else as it does me or not, but this quit my resolve is rock solid. I know the cravings will not stop. I know there will be tough times ahead, but I also know that I have a great support group and a solid determination that there will never again be nic in my lip.

The fog has lifted, I am sleeping better, though not great yet. Still haven't had any dip dreams, although I had a cancer dream the night before last that scared the hell out of me (only help shore up the resolve that much more). 

I keep thinking I should probably get started on making an appt. with the dentist... Might even see about getting some whitening done on my teeth, as they are pretty badly stained.

I have a very busy weekend, full of events that would have in the past included alot of dip... First off saturday morning we are weighing in calves for the 4H kids... followed by a cash bash style fund raiser for local 4H youth... Both will be well attended by my dippin' friends.  I am not worried though... I have been talking with my "dippin'" friends and they have been very supportive, and have all agreed no offering me pinches (even if I beg for one, which I won't)... But ultimately, I am very confident that it will not be an issue. I have my seeds, gum, tic-tacs... and a rock solid resolve to save my life. (and some great ktc guys digits if those fall apart).

Anyway, all for now... Day 10 nearly half done... Feeling very good about where I am on my quit at this point. Hoping I can make my fellow ktc quitters proud!

Shorthorn,
Congrats on getting to double digits on your quit. And good luck with the 4H stuff this weekend. Being around the animals and in the barn can be a big trigger. I used to say "Oh man I gotta have a dip for that." Now I say "Oh nic bitch rot in f***ing hell, and I live my life without you." And smile about it!!! Quit on baby.
ZC

thanks ZC... You are right on animal stuff being triggers, but I will get thru no doubt. Nic Bitch aint got no say in my life anymore.

Pinched, thanks for your words of wisdom as well... I love your avator... please, post all you want so I can enjoy that!

This time it is a quit and not an attempt!!! Keep you guard up and reach out if you need to vent. PM me if you need anything. Right around 10 days I had an awful Saturday where I felt like clawing my own face off, and was a real A-Hole around the house. It passes....just believe it will pass.

Day 10 is huge brother. Congrats. Keep focused one each day, one at a time. Enjoy it. Your life has just gotten much much better without being tied down to a can of dog poopy. I quit with you today.

Congrats on 10 days bro. Don't you F-in give nic lozenges any credit for your quit. YOU are the one that is putting in the work. F nic lozenges. It takes drive and determination to whip this B. Either you want it or you don't. I'm sensing you do bro. Stay on it ODAAT! I'm quit with you all day long.

I'm with Derk. Screw the poison candies. The new you is realizing it don't need the poison, never did. This quit is going to be epic. This quit is the one for the ages. Screw the poison. Quit with you today.

Shorthorn, You're knocking the balls out of the park, stay strong and have a solid backup
plan for the weekend! Go, May bro!

[Krusty]

Ten days! You're crushing it, bro -- just look at the difference in tone between your first post and most recent one! Confident without being cocky, with a conviction of purpose. Quit with you today and in spirit alongside you through the weekend.

That is because you came here to quit and you are serious. Its a different ball game once you wake up...and now you are awake.

10 days is huge man. Stay vigilant. You are crushing it.

[Canvasback]

Looking good, shorthorn. Keep up this solid quit.

shorthorn,

I echo Zillah and SAM's sentiments. There is only one quit and you will know it by your mindset....never again, for any reason. But for now, let's just take it day by day. I encourage you to reach out to more of us in the April 2014 group. For us newbies (yes, us April folks are still newbies too) conversing with the vets is extremely helpful but can sometimes be a bit intimidating when they have triple, or even quadruple digit days behind them in their quit. In terms of our addictions, day count doesn't matter and we're all the same. However, sometimes I've found it more reassuring to converse with folks that are just 'slightly ahead' of me in my quit. Again, only taking about days quit here. What you're going through is extremely fresh in out minds and we were there less than a month ago, or so.

If you need a wingman, I'm here for you. Just PM me.
