Wildcat--what has helped me is getting rid of a few obligations that were a trigger for me to chew. I am self-emplyed with 6 employees and I just started letting the small shit go so it doesn't drive me nuts. Business is flowing nicely since I quit but I still have some triggers and bull shit but it isn't as bad. Bottom line, get rid of that person or situation that annoys you and it will be a little easier.
Wildcat-
48 days is a great start to your quit and nothing to sneeze at. As corny as this sounds, sit back and reflect on how your life has changed for the better in those 48 days. You should be seeing/feeling numerous changes in your life that are a direct result of finding the stones to quit. Good job keep your quit rolling.
That being said, your entitled to shitty moments/days. Try not to get stuck in a rut and again focus on the good.

There are 2 types of pain: the pain of DISCIPLINE and the pain of REGRET.

Today will be better than yesterday Mud. Every day without that crap in your grill is a good day. It won't be easy, but if you use the tools and people on this site; you will be successful.

ping me if you need any help.

Take care

Hi everyone. Today i decided to quit dipping after 12 or so years. It pretty much controlled my life. I was like everyone else. I would dip doing different things. Like when watching tv, mud bogging, driving,and at work.

Now is the best time for a change in my life. Before my habit had gotten worse. I thank everyone who made this site possible.
QUIT DATE--01/05/09

KDip, thanks!! I'm trying. I'm going to make, it just blows bigtime. I lost about 70 lbs 5 years ago and have kept it off. At the time, I thought that was the hardest thing I had ever done. Now, I have found something harder--quitting.

Everytime I start freaking out or craving, I come here... I always find something good and helpful.

What is interesting is that today I took my son to the dentist... he had to get a filling. While he was sitting in the chair, I had an unpleasent vision of me being in that chair getting my face sliced open because of oral cancer or something.

Not going back to the can... at least today I'm not. One day at a time.

It got stupid and out of control. I was up to about 1 1/2 cans per day before I kicked Skoal to the curb.
I can completely relate to this sentiment. My habit had snow balled just as bad and I was chewing just as much or more. I like your determination. It helps to elevate my desire for quit.

Greetings all you quitters... until about 3 days ago you and I were opposites. You were staying strong and off the dip... i was weak and poisoned with Skoal running through my blood. Those days are over, now we have much more in common. Like you, i am now quit!! And, even though its early in my fight--i am damn determined to stay quit.

I had been a Skoal victim for about 12 years... started in college (soph. year, first semester, finals week) because, well, no real reason. I lived in a fraternity and most guys either smoked or chewed. I did a little of both for a long time. Eventually kicked the cigs and married Skoal. That faithful and expensive bitch is done.

For the last 12 years I have used a lot of excuses to keep dipping. I'm too busy to quit... life is too stressful with a wife and 3 kids... business is too stressful. Gimmie a break. The excuses, I own all of them. Golfing, I was chewin my ass off. Watching football, dippin. Showering, yep-fatty installed in the lip. Workin (if not meeting with clients)--dippin like it's my job. The list goes on. It got stupid and out of control. I was up to about 1 1/2 cans per day before I kicked Skoal to the curb. I don't wanna go back... and, on Dec 31st, 2008 I tossed it for good.

Cooincidence would have it that also on 12/31/08 I was surfing the internet and found this site. And, I am pretty damn thankful that I did!! The last 3 days have been torture. I'm a foggy mess and feel completely baked. It is a very weird feeling that I do not recall because I have never quit or even tried to quit before. This is my first time. This site is huge... i log in several times throuhout the day and read posts, etc. I have alwasy been able to find useful and timely info.

Funny... i have only been a member for 3 days. Yet, it feels like an eternity.

Well, now you have a little history about me... thanks for reading. You will see me around. I'm a determined SOB that is ready to kick this habit for good. Thanks in advance for the numerous times you help me. Thank you to the creators (iuchewie, etc.) of this site for helping save my life. Ready, JustQuit, Hydro and the folks that helped me pull the trigger when i did-----thank you!!

You'll see me every morning... in roll call!! Until then....................

bom chica waa waa!!
