Quit today

[Mogul]

Hey guys, checking in at 11:30 p.m. or so Ohio time. Almost to Day 5 here (by hours, I am now into Day 5 -- sad I'm still counting hours). I went over to help out with a non-dipping buddy tonight -- helped him put down mulch in his yard then we went a nearby tavern. I know drinking isn't suggested so I kept it to two beers so I didn't get off my game. I stayed dip-free I am proud to say. Something I haven't seen talked about yet (I haven't waded through all of the forums) is how do you deal with seeing a dipper for the first time after you quit? I kept to myself and with family until today. I saw an acquitance put in a big lipper and damn that hurt! I walked away. I'd love to hear how others deal with this. It's gonna happen eventually for all of us, right?

Lots of great advice. I want to point you in a different direction. That buddy that you helped put the mulch down.

Look to him, a non user. I'll bet he's not going through the day worrying about his poison suckling buddies. I bet when he sees people using he don't give it another thought. He probably laughs at the idea of spending 1000's of dollars on an addiction that does nothing but take. I bet he doesn't give poison sucklers a second thought. That's the guy you need to envy. Those are the kind of individuals I wanted to be like.

The poison doesn't deserve our want and desire. It deserves our hate and disgust.

Next time you get a chance really take a good look at your poison suckling buddies. Life sucks being bound chained and gagged. Quit with you today.

Hey guys, I hung out with all non-poison sucking buddies tonight. Biggest realization today is I have to experience live both the good and bad -- no escaping into a nicotene cloud when the conversation lags or it's not fun being with these morons (friends) anymore. Other 2 things are physical -- super thirrsty no matter what I drink and my mouth has busted open into a canker sore hell today.

Yeah, but you're quit. All the rest will disappear in a few days and you will still be quit. Big picture--small problem. You got this or you wouldn't be here. I quit with ya.

Walk away (if you can) if it helps, but eventually you'll be in a situation where you'll be around a user and can't walk away. I have 2 brother in-laws that both dip. They live 4 hours away, and I only see them 2 or 3 times a year, and usually at a family event, so purposely ditching them is not an option. So when it came down to "the men retiring to watch the game", I re-read my texts to my KTC brothers for the last few days and simply choose not to dip. I knew I could have excused myself at any moment to make a call to my brothers here as well. This was around Day 45 or so.

I am now at Day 97, I know how to get a quitter on the phone ASAP, and I know I made a promise not to use nicotine today. Have a plan in every situation.

It does get easier with brother, just go ODAAT.

You may already be using fake chew, but that has been a great help to me when I am around dippers. Just like Chantix is not an issue, you can use as much fake stuff as you want. I don't spit when doing the herbal stuff and it's great to not have to deal with a spitter. (My friends appreciate it as well.)

Ohio time. I was in Toledo for work this morning. Wonderful little city.

Anyway, seeing someone load up for the first time is tough no doubt, but something you're probably going to notice more often. Kind of like when you get a new car and all the sudden you start to notice others are driving the same car.

When I first quit it seemed like every asshole in the world was dipping or at least using nicotine of some kind whether it was cigarettes, cigars, pipes, snus, or even hookah Fucking pipes.

This bugged me, in fact I almost caved ONE time and it was because I saw all these people using and I was jealous and thought I was missing out on something "fun".

So, I texted a guy named Wedge and told him I was caving. I said everyone around me looked so happy with their nicotine and I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted to be happy again.

He texted back, "those people aren't having fun, they are addicted. Don't envy them feel sorry for them".

That made me think. Did I really need a lip full of chew to be happy? Is that want my life had come to? Some weeds in a can dictated my happiness? It didn't make sense. Some of my happiest times were in high school and college, when I had never touched chew. If I was happy then, why did I need chew to be happy now? What changed?

Nothing. Except that I was addicted to nicotine, more so I was dependant on it. That's a very sad fact. Nobody should be dependant on anything packed in a tin.

Bottom line I chewed for 15 years, near the end I was 2 cans of Kodiak a day. My jaw hurt, my tongue was numb, I caught zero buzz anymore. The illusion that dip did anything other than drive me closer to the grave was just that, an illusion.

I see you struggling and I can relate, we all can. We all walked in your shoes and we all had our asses handed to us by someone on this site. It's nothing personal, just an attempt to get your attention and fire you up a bit.

If you need to use chantix, use it. If you need to slam your dick in a door, do that too. As long as you keep nicotine. out of your system that's all that matters. Chantix is not an nrt product. Not sure why your getting so.much guff over that, but don't let that bother you and don't let seeing some goofball pack a dip bother you.

You've made it 5 days, that is AWESOME. Keep it going. It gets sooo much better. I'm 765 days quit and if.I.told you how great I feel you wouldn't believe me. I can't even put into words how great I feel. Sure it sucks right now, but the suck is only small snapshot in your life. You won't feel this way forever. If it didn't get better, I would.have been out of here long ago.

We are here to help. You need anything at all, hit me up any time. I'm here for you 24/7/365.

Quit on...

[wastepanel]

Yeah, that situation is an easy one. You are quit so dipping isn't even a possibility. You tell your "friend" that you are quit. when he offers up a dip you gladly take the can, open it, turn it upside down and dump all the poison on the ground. Next undo your fly, whip out your dick and piss on the can. If he has any questions he can bring them here to this forum. There are a few people here that will set him straight.

One of the greatest Ktc stories ever...

Pauly dumps the can....

Well boys... great fuckin idea.

"Just take the fuckin can and dump it out"... what could possibly go fuckin wrong?

Fuckity fuck fuck fuck. Ever seen a 6' 220lb guy laughing like a mother fuckin hyena running away from a 5'6" about 140 lb guy who is full on Chugg raging at the loss of a $22 tin of cancer?

Did I mention that we got some late spring bullshit snow storm here last night?

Any of you fuckers stop to think that fuckin around at work is likely frowned upon by the big wigs?

So... the little bastard comes up and goes "Shit Pauly... you know you want some, you can't stay quit forever." Sure, i say, gimme a little dip.

then Pauly takes the tin, pulls the top off it, sticks the finger and thumb in, and then proceeds to make like he's gonna take a real big fuckin dip.

Pauly grabs a great big dip then flicks into the air like fuckin pixie dust. the Pauly puts the can down on the concrete floor and stomps on it with his work boot and begins to giggle like a school girl.

Then, the rage starts. This guy is so goddam mad that he is literally ranting incomprehensible sounds and snarling.

Of course, this is VERY amusing, so Pauly begins to laugh uncontrollably. Like, tears running down my face busting a fuckin gut HOWLING.

Ever try running away from an insane little man while unable to breathe you're laughing so fuckin hard? He's chasing me around the trucks and throwing random punches and kicks and I'm still giggling. He's getting madder and madder, so i round the corner at the front of one of the trucks and get fancy... BUTTON HOOK!!!

Well, Mr Angry chewer slips in a puddle on the concrete floor. Mr Angry Chewer's noggin goes thwack on the bumper and then the concrete.

This just keeps gettin funnier and funnier, so now I'm leaning on the hood trying to catch my breath howling and fucking laughin so hard I think I'm gonna die.

Then, Pauly's boss's boss comes out of the office to find out what the fuck is goin on. He looks even angrier... Ever try explaining that what I'm told looks like I laid a fuckin whuppin on this guy is the result of advice from a bunch of insane mother fuckers I've never met? And an "accident"?

Well... Pauly got sent home early today. I think the words were "I can't even fuckin deal with you right now... Get the fuck outta here... go home."

Is it bad that I'm still fuckin laughing typing this 7 hours later?

Either turn and walk away shaking your head, or tell him about KTC....

You're going to see lots of situations that will make you feel better and better about not being a NIC slave anymore, and it only gets better.

I know the brain game is probably even harder.

That's ^^^^ where this battle takes place. Sharpen your tools and you'll be surprised how easy this battle can become. Read everything you can on nicotine/addiction. Get to know your enemy, it knows you. Knowledge is power. With the information that is available on this site you should never be surprised again by the poison. Everything is layed out for you. Read other's intros and hof speeches. You'll see the same story over, over and over. Your's will be no different my friend. Your the same as all of us.

Start believing in this quit. Their is no other way. Quit is where you live my friend. Quit is where you work. Quit is your life!!!!

One day at a time and you can have back a lot of what the poison has stolen. Never again for any reason and you can keep it. ODAAT and NAFAR!

When you are doing your on site reading, check out the Words of Wisdom page also. I don't yet know how to put links into my posts, but there is a post put up by Jost2Brown "An Open Letter to New Quitters, Why are we dicks?; By: Per034" that addresses the tough love on this site.

Cornfed - STOP with the cutting and pasting....Do it for roll call, but not when "quoting" someone else and responding to them...Simply type your reply in the empty dialog box and leave the part you are responding to (in the lower box) alone.....Try it...

How's the fog?

Hmmm, how is this Remshot? This computer systems is kinda crazy but hope this is how I should do it. Thanks for the clarification between how to Roll Call and how to post.

I'm in Day 4 and the worst crave or fog just lifted. Sitting at work from about 2 until 4 pretty much just trying to not spin. (Spin eerily similar to first spin from the first lipper I ever did.) Thinking about taking doing some yard work and taking out the Challenger tonight is getting me through... Thanks for checking in and helping me learn how to post.

Nice rack, BTW :D

Looks good...You'll be expert in no time.

I was worthless at work for the first month (at least it seemed that long) or so...Damn fog sucks...Keep your head low when possible and get through it. Drink water, then more water, and then some more. Flush your system of the poisons. One day soon you will realize that the fog is gone.
