Quote from: TheTruth
Hey guys this is an unrelated topic, and I apologize if it is misplaced on the forum, but I had a question about the tobacco-free chew that is listed on the website as a smokeless alternative. I've heard a lot of good things about a couple of the brands like Smokey mountain and Hooch, but I'm unsure where I could get them. The site gives some places that sell, but I live in Kentucky and am nowhere close to any of the listed stores. Does anybody have any ideas as to where I could try to pick up a can of this stuff? I tried a few places here locally and they all look at me like I'm nuts when I ask for tobacco-free chew.
Try Walmart for smokey Mountian.

I'm feeling a feeling I recognize from my 280 to 350 quit period. 

Is there another, fog, hurt, funk or some dark feelings people have in the 700's? 

Not sure if I am over playing it but I feel like I am in danger.  Not for nicotine, I made my promise but emotionally.  I feel shity in the head.  I went after my son for being lazy and after, I realized I was mad because I saw me years ago.  He deserved being told to get going but I think I handled my approach poorly. 

Now I am thinking that I used him to yell at me.  Sounds weird but what bothered me is that he....is me.   Now since venting on him, I feel shity.   

Anyone have thoughts on this?
Yup, had a funky period right around two years and another one right before comma time.

Was he being Lazy? Is he slacking on things he shouldn't be? Does he need a little push?

Sometimes it was easiest to see the same faults in my kids as ones I had growing up. And yes I did get on to them so they would learn to manage those faults and overcome them easier than I did.

Hey everybody, I was wondering if anyone can relate to me on something...
Everytime i walk past a cigarette smoker I get really uncomfortable. It just reminds me of how bad nicotine is and how hard it is to quit. Is there any way I would absorb any nicotine from second hand smoke? It scares me to death to think about it...
Don't overthink this quitting thing. Don't activitely participate in putting Nic into your system. We all must suffer fools. There is nothing we can do about it. I flew from Chicago to Orlando today with a crying kid behind me, and a bumpkin in a cheesy cow-boy hat spitting into a 16 oz plastic up from the airport bar next to me. Did I get upset, uncomfortable, or crave? No. I'm past that, and you will be to if you keep focus on today and worry about tomorrow when it comes. You got this!

Nicotine is a helluva drug.
In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

Ok, I've had it!  It's time for a major vent. 
I'm sick and tired of addicts that post intros saying how they are ready to quit but don't post roll!  It's not that hard to post roll, even if you screw up someone will fix it.  No one will bitch at you for screwing up roll but I like so many others will be down your throat for not posting roll!  There is a reason this forum works, now if your serious about quitting, POST ROLL!
This isn't any withdrawal rage, I'm past that this is just reality!
Roll call works.

Period.
to the top...
Even the mildly mentally challenged can post roll. I make it everyday so far.. 'no'
Evun tha cerouisily mindtally chalunged can powst role. I do it for 89 strate daze. Amen WT!
To the top, again. This should be perma-fixed to the top.

Reminder why we quit. I was playing indoor soccer to stay in shape during the cold winter and got a busted lip in a tackle.  The scrape/cut is as big as your thumb nail on the inside of front lip and hurts like hell, when talking, eating, drinking coffee and sleeping. It is slowly healing but I bet mouth cancer would hurt a lot more and not go away.  A good reminder to me of staying quit.

Stay strong brothers!
If you were still dipping I bet you would still put that crap in your mouth cut lip or not. A good reason to be quit.
You can tackle in soccer? That might make it worth watching. Just kidding, I'm sure it's still boring, but nice observation.
