I got it. That's why I ask those here. Plus, your breath stinks for like three days and the taste is awful.

Thanks all.

I go with my buddies for a long weekend to the NC coast once a year to play golf. THis is the first year of my quit while down there with these guys.  I never dipped in front of them. But we did smoke cigars during a round and on the back deck popping some cold ones.

I don't even like cigars, but it seemed like the thing to do.  So if I were to puff on a couple Cubans next month when away on this golf trip, will that nicotine feeling send me down the wrong path?
Any nicotine = cave. Not worth it, just pass on the cigar and enjoy your golf trip free of nicotine.
the wrong path....... SERIOUSLY??????

You need to have your Damn head checked.

One Puff = FAIL = CAVE!!!
Root, you already know the answer or you wouldn't be asking. I'm with the others...One Puff = FAIL.
So your out on a boys weekend.
Let's say you have a couple zimas.
Catch a little buzz.
You get offered a cigar.
You ask yourself "what's one cigar?"
You smoke said cigar.
The next day you feel that crave...
You tell yourself, "Hey, I can bum one dip"
The next day that craves a little stronger.
You buy a can because "Im out of town, I'll stop before I get home!"
Your back to square one.
Your addicted to nicotine.
Not just dip.
No cigars.
Oh stop it!!!! You are making me crave!!!! Gad damn it!!!!





Now I'm going to have to find the money for it!!!!




God, I miss golf since getting divorced!!!!
Blah...Blah...Blah...You keep TALKIN....I'll keep QUITTIN

I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to support YOUR quit.


Quit Date: 2/25/10 and every day since

In the mid 70s, Walt Garrison said it was okay. Just a pinch between your cheek and gums. Been a slave since until joining this fine group.

First, you would be ingesting nicotine. Here, we call that a cave and a Day 1 post.

Second, I wish I could find the posts quickly, but I've read several folks talk about smoking one cigar and then slowly smoking more and more cigars and then realizing they were using nic again and they might as well go hit the can. I've heard several variations of this story.

I know a military guy who always has Cubans. When we golf, no more cubans for me. It's not worth the risk. Also, I closed the door on nicotine.

In that article Brad Peacock of the Washington Nationals said he doesn't dip in front of his kids. So his kids don't watch his games? What about the millions of other kids who watch him spit all over the pitcher's mound? Addict speak all over this article.
Yep. I don't remember a single one of them calling it anything other than a "habit." It just makes you shake your head.
I guess I give a pass to calling it a habit while you are using, whether its dip, or heroin, or meth or whatever. Identifying yourself as an addict compels you to do something about it. If you are not ready to do something about it, you have to identify yourself a different way...like someone who "has a bad habit".

I'm not saying it's right, rather it is the way our addicted brains apparently work.

You probably won't hear a crack head call himself a crackhead until he gets himself in recovery. I guess I don't see nicotine any different than crack....except you can by it in the store and use it at work if you want to.

That's what I like and respect about you guys and KTC philosophy....call a spade a spade and speak the gospel truth about this nasty shit we all loved so much and the companies and industries that push it to make money.
