Hey Ladies... Busy as shit last few days! This is a very good thing for me being self employed! Still for me, real busy = craving.. Today  more this afternoon was BAD! Made it through again, however.. then I drove by the local BP/Baccer Shop (all you Yankees  Yuppies - Baccer is what rednecks call tobacco) Roll of Grizzly $8.99! I don't even like Griz and I was like DAMN! Now this evening.. No biggie! So what about the rest of you Sept Quitters? Any ya'll getting some KINGSIZE craves hitting you in the late 60s early 70s? WTF?? Gooch

Gooch I gotta thank you, that was some funny ass shit, and reading it just completly took away some anxiety that I just had going on.

Continue to stay strong, you are one bad ass quiter.
I will conquer what has never been conquered.
Defeat will not be in my creed.
I will acknowledge the fact that I am an elite warrior who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by any means at my disposal.
I accept the fact that my team expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than our opponents.
Never shall I fail my comrades.
I will rip the heart from my enemy and leave it beating on the ground.

WHO AM I? .... I AM A QUITTER!!!

I come from a very long line of tobacco users ladies.. I go to the hospital evening of Aug 13th.. to visit my 2nd cousin that just had a baby.. He is 21 years old.. I go into the room he's laying on the bed with his newborn with a big ole fatty in his lip spitting in a bottle.. You know I don't judge him and you shouldn't either.. He is an addict like the rest of us here.. We have found the answer for today  he hasn't.. that's really not the subject of my post either.. the subject of my post is this - I WANT TO DIP THIS MORNING! There was a lot of drama in this group yesterday.. There was a lot of drama with me and my crazy fucking girlfriend yesterday too.. I hate drama.. I don't sleep much last night... I get up this morning after a few hours of sleep and I get ready to post up.. Then I think You know if I don't post - I don't promise.. Maybe I am going to just fucking cave this morning.. A dip would be fucking NICE!!! (It's not the horse shit of only having one - I want a big one and I want it all f-ing day!).. Then I think about my 2nd cousin - where he is at? Where I have been for the largest part of my life.. for the last 30 years anyway (I'm 44).. I have been addicted... This morning I am not addicted.. I am 66 days clean.. My head is still a little fucked and I will always be an addict.. but as far as the shit goes.. It is OUT of my system.. Don't be a stupid sumbitch Gooch! Post up and be a quitter!!! Fucking A!!! I quit with the rest of you that struggle just like I do sometimes.. But you keep coming back.. posting up - making a promise  QUITTING LIKE FUCK!! I am with you! Gooch
Way to fight through it Gooch.

If the drama is getting you down, walk away from it and read something else on the site. Posting early definitely is a great plan because pretty much everyday you will have some type of crave.

The most amazing part of your post is your cousin. He had a baby ???? wtf man what part of the world are you from ? Where I'm from dudes can't have babies.
Quit Date: March 23 2012

Way to fight Gooch. It takes a REAL FUCKING man to step back, think logically, weigh everything out, and make the right decision. A fucking coward runs to the store, buys a can and fills his lip with cat shit that will kill him thinking it will solve the many problems life throws at him. I was that coward, didn't realize it then but I really was. For the past 73 days I've been a man, and I fucking love being a real man.

I KNOW you are a MAN Gooch, and an inspiration to me and others on this site. Way to man up and and set an example of how a fucking CHAMP reacts when tempted by the nic bitch!!! I got your back anytime you need it!!!

I was in that place the other day as well. I didn't hesitate to go to the store and buy some Smokey Mountain. Put a couple pinches in and boom, the bitch was gone. Don't be too proud to use a crutch if you need to every now and again. Don't tempt fate.

Proud of you Gooch.

Gooch, I've been there, and I think we've all been there lately, but when the bitch visits me, I look at her differently now. Sure you (think) the dip would be great, but the others factors far out weigh this silly thought. Enjoy the new addition to your family, hopefully your cousin will see the light. You need to be his example my friend. be strong we all got u back, and we all quit with you!

I was told by my dentist to get a gum graph. I have one area under one tooth that has pulled back. It doesn't hurt or bother me. I've been on the fence for some time, but now that I'm quit I'm thinking about it again. After reading Gooch's story It makes me nervous. My dentist, and I'm sure most always recommend the most expensive procedures, so I wonder if it's even necessary? I know it won't get worse, as I'm take good care of my teeth now.
so happy to quit with you guys.... you're all my inspiration each day. I have the nic bitch by the throat and squeezing a little harder every day!

Hey Ladies... I got my teeth cleaned today!  That is actually something I've done pretty regular for the past 9 years or so..  Same gal has been doing it all that time.. She was amazed at how well my gums were looking today!  Keep in mind she's seen the good, the bad  the ugly.. She's been there through all of my gum graft surgeries.. She and the perio-surgeon both can hardly believe my teeth didn't fall out.. Nor can I.. A few times before the surgeries I practically had exposed roots.. Another thing.. The dentist looking at my teeth today said that smokeless tobacco was the hardest of all nic addictions to kick.. It is the delivery method he said.. Goes straight from the arteries under the tongue directly to the heart!  no passing through the lungs like smokers..  that is why we are all so damn addicted.. it is a KA-fucking-POW of nicotine.. guess what..  WE ARE ALL SOME BAD MOTHER FUCKERS!!!  tough sumbitches!!!  we are fighting and winning..  Bring it on Nic Bitch.. I have confidence now. I have kicked your ass for 60 days.. now I know I can do it... Confidence is a very good thing.. (just don't get over confident and stop doing what you been doing)..
Yeah Mike I love the way you lay it out there! We can't have any candy coating how serious this nicotine addiction is. I've been having some real issues with my throat and difficulty swallowing, a cough that would not go away. I had an appointment with ear nose and throat specialist this week. The Dr ask a lot of questions didn't seem overly concerned until I told him that I was a former dipper. After I told him that he wanted to get a closer look. He ran the scope down through my nose looked at my throat. No visible problems. He then told me the samething, how difficult the addiction is to kick. "NO SHIT"!! Then I gave him. The KTC info. This is a battle for us to fight on all fronts, we can help save lives!!
