Fake Chew

So I've been using fake chew now for the 5 days I've been quit and it's been working really well for me. I get a crave and just pop one of those bad boys in and I'm pretty much good to go. I honestly think that aside from KTC the fake chew has been the key ingredient to my quit so far.

My question is, does there come a time when the fake dip becomes a continuation of the original crutch rather than a tool to fight the cravings?  What is the time frame for this?  My current plan is to transition from the fake chew to those minty white lifesavers, or something that won't stain my teeth so I can get the whitened.

Just wondering what some others have experienced with this.

First things first....congratulation mtn. PUSHING through the suck is something only few can accomplish. Continue to post roll daily and connect with KTC.

Fake is fake. I know of only 1 long-time quitter who still uses it regularly. So, maybe it is a crutch to him. But who gives a fuck? Right? I mean, You are actively quitting one of the most addictive poisons known to man. If you need to use fake, then use it. Especially, this early into your quit.

Personally, I used EVERYTHING:
Every type of Fake (SMJ, hooch, jakes, oregon, the alfalfa stuff, the sea coral stuff, etc)
Lifesavers
Jolly Ranchers
Tea
Coffee
Ginger
Seeds
Gently Used Panties (the salty and tangy flavors were the best, I did not enjoy the onion gravy flavor)
Beef Jerky
Toothpicks
Starbucks stirrers
Probably some others that I can't think of right now.

So to answer your question - use whatever it takes to not stuff your piehole full of cancer. There will be a time in future when you will grow tired of the Fake. You'll just not need it anymore.

Once again, the most important thing right now is TO NOT PUT A HOG OF CANCER IN YOUR LIP today.

Yup... agreed. They're tools... use them.

Personally, I chewed a can/day of the fake for a good 220 days or so into my quit. Then, one day... I just didn't reach for it anymore. Now I never touch the stuff unless I'm doing a product review.

For the time being, use all the tools at your disposal. I've often said that I'd rather chew a can/day of the fake stuff for the rest of my life than ever have another dip of Kodiak.

Hey all, anyone out there have any unique Turkey day traditions?

Anyone actually do the Turducken?

Great question!

No Turducken, but this year we will be doing 3 separate birds.

22lb oven roasted
13lb fried (with Cajun injection)
12lb smoked

My folks have been hosting Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember, and for the past 6-7 years they've had both my family as well as my in-laws / family. We're lucky in that (with the exception of politics) we all get along very well so it's a great way to spend the day.

FROM YESTERDAY's 7th KTC BIRTHDAY THREAD

This thread was open for one day only...

For those of you that don't know, KillTheCan.org was "born" seven years ago on November 20th, 2006.

KillTheCan.org is going strong (over 17,000 members to date!) and shows absolutely no sign of slowing down. We've added over 3,500 members in the past year!

For proof positive that this works, check out the following roll call. It represents a TON of quitting.

139,829 DAYS quit (Only counting those who posted a number)
383.09 YEARS quit

These are absolutely AMAZING numbers folks... bravo!

Spread the word about KTC. You are not only saving your own life, you are saving countless others, and FUCKING UST tobacco one loooong stroke at a time.

Finally...there are other quit sites out there... but not one has the fire power of KillTheCan.org. They can copy all they want... But in the words of the immortal Ric Flair, we say this:

Whether you like it or not, learn to love it, because its the best thing going. Wooooo!

Here's to many more years. Be proud people...be very proud!

WOW !!! Those are some impressive numbers. Thanks again KTC. I seriously had given up on being quit. This ? This works. Happy Birthday and glad you were born. Quit On !!!

I have been dipping since the age of 11, now 30. My wife has been hounding me for the last 6 years to quit dipping. I have been an undercover/ninja dipper for the past 2 years (only dipping at work) and ready to kick this crap. I am tired of wasting the money, I am tired of my wife bugging me, and I don't want to DIE over such a habit. But I know I will need help so I reached out to my ol' friend google and he lead me to you guys. Must be destiny. but I know I will need help.
I am looking for a support group as I am in the Army (15 years and going strong) and all the guys around me keep saying "no one likes a quitter". PLEASE LEAD ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!

Hey bro, check your inbox. I sent you a PM. Look up towards the top. To the right of where it says My Controls. Lets get quittn !!!

Ok, I give up. What does TIFFS mean?  Usually it follows a funny post, but for the life of me I can't figure it out.

That is Fuckin' Funny Shit.

Well brother glad you found us. Now first I want you to decide that you need to quit otherwise this will never work. It is great that your spouse wants to see you quit but you need to want it first and foremost.

Now read up the info on the site Welcome Center

Learn how to post roll How to Post Roll

Then post Roll here Pre-HOF March 2014

Post Roll daily. This is your promise to stay quit, understand that KTC is all about brotherhood and Accountability. Make sure that these words mean something to you. Also understand that all of us quitters care so when a cave happens people will take that shit personally. We invest time into people and the quit groups are like tight families of quit.

Finally, I recommend that you find an alternative, fake dip, candy, gum, mints, etc. Drink lots of water, so much that you cannot pass a bathroom without having to piss.

P.S. All of the above underlined words are links to the site.

Let's do this soldier,

This Discussion is Always rather DEAD it seems  :lol:

Start up a conversation in your group. Add a question of the day or some other nonsense. It's a good way to get to know your quit brothers and sisters. Form that brotherhood bond. It builds and strengthens accountability.

We have a whole board to play on sir.

What be your pleasure?

Be very wary of how you answer this question, Ace...it could be a trap. :blink:

I generally don my XXXXL captain marvel outfit and ululate in a hedonistic fit of victorious quititude when I am bored.... then again... even when I am not.

maybe a trap

EDIT: Apparently it doesn't want me posting GIFs 'bang head'

maybe that will 'fix' your gif problem 'links only' can't embed a gif or image unless you have LooT powers

Not even LooT can embed images.

We just make cool emoticons. 'zombie'

:j2b:

And some not so cool. _

:NOLAQ:

Yet never cease to be funny ^^^^ 'I'm with stupid' ^^^^

P.S The Smithsonian called and wanted to know if they can borrow your printer for display.

I think they printed the Gutenburg bible on it if I'm not mistaken..........
