Day 20 - Souliman, great idea. I never thought about it from that angle. Real world support is a pretty good crutch to lean on. No desire for a pinch today. My gums are now thanking me. They don't feel raw.

Nice work brother. Keep fighting. You two should form your own support group. Keep each other on the path. The more connection your quit has in the real world the better. The safer your quit will be.

Day 19 - Nothing unusual to report about the nineteenth day. Found out a softball teammate quit about 3 months ago cold turkey. No support group, no fake chew and no seeds. I told him about this site but I doubt he checks it out though.

Day 18 - What a crazy day. First of all, a co-worker had some kind of new can of Skoal Extreme. It seemed really appealing. Then Nictina told me that tobacco wasn't really bad for you. It is all a scam so Hooch, SMC and David seeds can get their fair share of money. The sad thing is I almost wanted to believe it.

Great Job!

Every day nic free is a victory! Don't worry about that roller coaster--just keep riding!

You have won today because you posted roll and gave your promise-----just keep repeating that promise every day.

Day 17 - Nothing to crazy about this day. Days like this make it easy to be a quitter. It is amazing the roller coaster ride this quit is.

Day 16 - First of all thanks again for the support and encouragement. It's people like you that help people like me get through each day.
Went to a country concert last night, Luke Bryan. Packed venue and it was crazy and the girls looked sexy. I battled with the thoughts of tobacco all night. Every back pocket I saw had a can in it. Mine did too. I had a pinch of Spitfire Hooch in most of the evening to get me past the urge.

Day 15 - A little over two weeks and I am struggling today.  I don't know why my body feels like it needs a pinch for my 24 hour shifts at work.  I was contemplating being a person that just dips at work today.  But I know that one pinch would do me in and I would probably never be here again.

No Pinch Today!
It's a mental game your playing now. You're still early in your quit. The bitch used to live inside your mouth and in your bloodstream. You kicked her out. Unfortunately, she relocated to your head. You'll get her out of there soon too. Very soon. Stay strong. It won't be long before she's out of your head and just lurking around the corner. Then she'll be just a train ride away... eventually she'll be over in Moscow trying to catch a flight back to your lip.

She will fade away. She won't disappear, but she'll fade. Have faith. There is never a reason to let her back into your life. At this point, she knows you found her weakness - integrity. Keep beating her in the face with your integrity and she'll get weaker.

Proud to be quit with you. Stay strong.
IUman. Well done. Seriously. Yesterday was a tough day. I've had those. It's all the Bitch and her lies. The mind games. Planting notions in your head of just dipping at work. For me it is the Voice: "You could sure use a pinch right now. Just one. No one will know". I say Congrats to you brother because you won the day! You beat back Nic's latest assault. Each day you do this is a victory. Your quit grows that much stronger, and the Bitch gets that much weaker. Like I've said, I've had tough days. I've had to leave work early because the fog was too much. I went through a major funk where the craves were not too bad but I could not get Nic out of my head. Regardless, the key as you know is to read, post, reach ou and do whatever the hell you have to do to stay quit.

Those 24s are kicking my ass too. I only work one each week, I feel for you having to do one every third day. We got this though, no looking back. We my friend are quitters and will be better for it.

Day 13 - Seeds, Hooch, Fruit, SMC, Seeds, Hooch, Fruit, SMC,............. I have tried to replace the cookie craving which too the place of the nicotine craving with fruit so I don't gain as much weight. Lots of fruits mean lots of craps. Better to have a raw butt than raw jaw. Please do not send any invites to your next homosexual outings either. Even though grizzly and cope think that I am definitely gay. I am definitely not.
