OK! I am really bad at quiting I have dipped for over 20 years and I'm really not sure I want to but I know I do. If that makes any sense. I only had two dips today and was pissed at the world. I should mention I just quit drinking about 2 months ago and that was a walk in the park compared to this. I just order a roll of Bacc-off straight and I hope it gets here soon. Do you guys have any suggestions other than candy. I tried that before and it really don't help me. Thanks 'bang head' 'bang head'
Flush the can and grab your balls for the ride of your life!!! Try Fake dip, seeds, tea bags, but DO NOT put that shit your mouth!!! By day 3 the nic will be out of your system and the fog should start to clear by the end of the first week. Get into chat when you have craves and we will talk you down. BUT we can't help you if you are still stuffing that crap in your mouth!!! The choice is yours!!! I hope you make the right choice and flush that can NOW!!!

ok so I see I'm the only one thats been here for a couple of days. I'll try to come back later until then here is a good joke for you.

The Lone Ranger was ambushed and captured by an enemy Indian war party.

The Indian Chief proclaims, "So, you are the great Lone Ranger. In honour of the Harvest Festival, you will be executed in three days. But, before I kill you, I will grant you three requests. What is your first request?"

The Lone Ranger responds, "I'd like to speak to my horse."

The Chief nods and Silver is brought before the Lone Ranger, who whispers in Silver's ear and the horse gallops away. Later that evening, Silver returns with a beautiful blonde woman on his back.

As the Indian Chief watches, the blonde enters the Lone Ranger's tent and spends the night.

The next morning the Indian Chief admits he's impressed. "You have a very fine and loyal horse but I will still kill you in two days. What is your second request?"

The Lone Ranger again asks to speak to his horse. Silver is brought to him, and he again whispers in the horse's ear. As before, Silver takes off across the plains and disappears over the horizon.

Later that evening, to the Chief's surprise, Silver again returns, this time with a brunette, even more attractive than the blonde. She enters the Lone Ranger's tent and spends the night.

The following morning the Indian Chief is again impressed. "You are indeed a man of many talents but I still kill you tomorrow. "What is your last request?"

The Lone Ranger responds, "I'd like to speak to my horse....alone."

The Chief is curious but he agrees and Silver is brought to the Lone Ranger's tent.

Once they're alone, the Lone Ranger grabs Silver by both ears, looks him square in the eye and says, "Listen very carefully you dumb *** horse. For the last time . . . BRING POSSEEEE!!!!"
later

New blog post: Why do you tell Everyone?
http://blog.killthecan.org/?p=365
'Twas indeed a good read...many thanks.

I'm 13 days in, and I've told only: my doctor, my wife  kids, my dad, and my direct boss. I haven't told any of the eight folks that work for me, nor any of my peers at work, nor any of my friends or neighbors outside of work (some of whom know that I dipped...most of whom probably did not know).

Why have I been less public about it?

I dunno...I guess part of me thinks that as my quit continues to be successful, why tell anyone what I used to do in case they didn't know before? (For instance, my boss had no idea...and I've carried a can in my front pocket every day in the 4+ years I've worked for him. I was shocked.) If not many people knew about the addiction...when you announce a quit...wouldn't they be like, "oh...big deal"?

Subconsciously...maybe I'm more comfortable talking about this with virtual friends who are going thru the same experiences, rather than "real" people who really don't have a damn clue what I'm going thru?

Good stuff. Now, back to work.

Any one know where in Walmart they keep the Smokey Mountain?  I know when I get in there, I'm going to have to explain myself to 6 different employees what I'm looking for, the last one is probably going to be a super hot chick, so of course I'll change Smokey Mountain Chew to Magnum Rubbers...Hey!!! Maybe I can chew on those!!!
Usually keep it with the real stuff. If they do not have it you can try a tobacco shop.

Not sure where you are located but Casey's gas stations here in Iowa have SMC wintergreen, mint and classic.
Right on thanks...I went to a smoke shop this morning and the guy had no clue what I was talking about...then I thought, why would he carry such an item? I'll give WM a try after work, if it's a no-go, I'll be near a Casey's this evening...appreciate the response!
dude, i have to say that was one of the funniest ever!!!
