I want to check my sent messages in the sent folder like email. But every time I go into the folder it is empty does anyone know how to check your sent folder in the forum.?

Hi @Vin70

Click "Profile" at the top.

Hover over "Modify Profile" and select "Personal Messaging".  Make sure the box to the right of "Save a copy of each personal message in my sent items by default." is checked.

CLick "Save Profile" bottom right of screen.  Now your sent messages will be saved.

To access them, Click "My Messages".  Hover over "messages" on the left and select "sent Messages".

Got it thanks @chris2alaska that helps thanks for the tech tip

Does anyone have any good ideas for distracting yourself on boring days? Maybe hobbies? I'm always looking to try something new.

Go to the gym, walking, video games, beer brewing, picking daisies, etc... anything to keep away from the can.

@chewie beer brewing sounds good. i tried making prison hooch in my closet once. apple juice raisins sugar bread yeast and even a pin sized hole in a condom used for the airlock, it gets you drunk but it tastes like "shit"

what is your go to oral distraction to dip?  Gum, fake dip(what brand), etc.  Please chime in!!!

I’m a big fan of the new hooch fat packs and sunflower seeds. Got the wintergreen fat packs, they can be a little dry so I throw a few drops of water in the can when I open it to moisten them up. Its been great for those big OH FUCK triggers. I really try not to keep the habit alive though so Ive only put one in if I’m REALLY struggling. Still in the early days but it’s working for me so thought I’d share.

I use Smokey Mountain various flavors (favorites are wintergreen and peach).  I also use cinnamon stick.  I just chew on them like a cigar.  I haven't broken the habit yet but have cut back a ton.

I used a TON of fake dip back in the day. Sunflower seeds and beef jerky (specifically Slim Jims) as well. Was never a big gum guy.

I used fake, but also sweet stuff.  I sucked on lemon drops, rootbeer barrels, swedish fish out of the freezer (those are good , almost the exact size of a dip )....  Whatever you use, enjoy not putting catshit in your mouth!  QWU today

I like

I was a mini dry portion Swedish Snus person so the Smokey Moutain packs are PERFECT!  Still keep them handy when the craves really hit.  I prefer the Artic Mint.  A good fake for traditional Swedish Snus portion users are Baccoff pouches.  I use the Caramel and Vanilla for a change of pace. 

Early on I also chewed on tons of sesame seeds -- BIGGS were best / great flavors and a lot less salt than Davids.

i think flavored tooth oicks are kinda cool. keep them in a old camera film bottle. and pop them in you look super old school cool, its a good distraction and helps with oral fixation and you can create your own with different flavors. i would visit art of manliness website they have a few cool things to try, not specific at nicotine abstinence, but things to do.
