Gum Grafts - I've had 5!

[Buddy Mac]

Thanks for everything all y'all! (y'all is a word in ky).. Last 5 days have been the hardest of my quit! Had to be God and you guys getting me through because I simply do not have the power not to dip.. I am truly powerless when it comes to dip.. I am an addict.. Completely  totally an addict.. I swear this morning I was really thinking about a cave before I posted.. I knew once I posted a cave was out until midnight.. And seriously I told myself this morning.. If I still want to dip as badly at midnight as I do ths morning it's on!! So I posted and went though my day.. Most of the day I have focused on the many benefits of being tobacco free.. (I have dipped a shitload of my new famous getgooched homemade dip)..

My Benefits Today!
1). Sleep.. I am getting sleep for the 1st time in many years.. This has really been one that has kept me going...
2). I can have a real conversation with someone without thinking about "damn I wished they'd hurry.. I really need a dip!
3). Sometimes I have a HUGE sense of accomplishment (this is my crown jewel of the year)
4). I really get to keep my teeth... My real teeth too
5). Money I actually am saving he money I'd spend on it


Who else has some?

How about trying to kiss your wife/girlfriend (whatever) and they don't look at you like you are an idiot because you have grains in your teeth and your breath smells like cat shit.

Or your kids don't find spit bottles laying around house and think they are tea??

Don't have to hide it at work, especially if you work in office environment???

Just a few..

Holy Shit Quitters... Today has been a f-ing shit storm!Ã, Ã,  I have craved absolutely all damn day..Ã,  WTF?Ã,  Don't know if it centered around Scrockett and the posts there this morning or what?Ã,  Don't have a clue.Ã,  but I do know that the mental process was taking me dangerously close to a dip today.Ã,  A few times I was ready to throw up my arms and concede "it ain't worth it".Ã,  I was actually tatsing it.Ã,  Gum grafts/cancer/tooth loss - fuck it all..Ã,  At least I can have some relief.Ã,  Well I didn't pick up, truthfullyy I'm not overly glad I didn't.Ã,  In a weird place.. Being a quitter is fun sometimes.. Not so much today/tonight.Ã,  Gooch

You and me bothe brother. Hope this "It gets easier" shit is true. My shits tired of going through the wringer. Why doesnt some smart scientist SOB invent some anti crave gum or candy? Son bitch would be a gazillionaire!!!! Hang tough!!!!

It gets better.

You would not believe me if I told you how much better it gets.

Gooch,

Been there and probably will be ther again. This is a series of phases. Stay the course. If you have a bad day, and survive it...the great day is coming!!!

It just happens. I guess it is the buzz of success! I live for that buzz. It kicks the shit out of tobacco humping every time.

It gets better but winning is contagious. You are undefeated bro. Isn't that bonerific!!!

You are catching the wave of enjoying your quit. Live and love your victories...they are epic!!!

Day 41.. What! For real day 41! Sometimes it flies sometimes it drags.. Going through a crave seems like an eternity.. Heading to a ventriloquists convention today! A lot of weirdos and one hot chick last year.. Mrs Ohio is a ventriloquist! Mrs Ky was actually my 2nd wife no kidding.. My experience with beauty queens.. The sash means "another dollar please"...

41 days!!!! You seriously opened a can of quit on little Nicky.

WTG!!

OK Ladies.. today I am pumping gas.. look up on the top of the pump and I am eye to eye with a can of grizzly!Ã,  I have done pretty good at avoiding stores and going inside by paying at the pump.. no avoiding this.. it's right there.. so what do I do.. Do I shit or go blind..Ã,  I do neither.. for about a half a sec I freaked then I was like "oh well" there's a grizzly can up there!Ã,  Now mind you today has been "a good" day.. barley a single crave.. tomorrow I am doing a class for the first time.. In addition to being an auctioneer I also do CE classes and sales seminars, so to speak..Ã,  this is a huge trigger for me.. always at the end of these days.. 6 hours in front of a crowd of people giving them all the Gooch I can muster.. I am always exhausted at day's end and as soon as I hit the truck.. CRAM!! a super fatty!Ã,  not tomorrow!Ã,  The one thing I am looking the most forward to tomorrow is not wanting a dip so bad that I give early breaks so I can sneak one in!Ã,  And when I couldn't spit.. I would intentionally eat a dip... sometimes I'd do that and have terrible hiccups!Ã,  The people get all of me tomorrow!!Ã,  No withdrawls to interrupt my flow..Ã, Ã,  Nic Bitch You've been Gooched Again!Ã,  Thanks fellas.. all because of you!!!

Memories of swallowing that shit knowing I would be without for awhile. What addicted assholes! And the damn hiccups! Haha no more love to be there to hear you.
I would of pissed in the can on the pump!

Give em hell tomorrow Gooch-Keeps extra bags of seeds in your truck for the after party!!!!

Great advice tinman.. I think I'm gonna have to switch from hard candy to something else for sure? Had my annual ( anal) physical last week.. My glucose was just under diabetic!!! Had to be all the candy I been eating for the past month.. Maybe 20 or more cinnamon disks a day... Ain't that some shit.. I quit dipping and get diabetes! That's crazy... I can however quit cinnamon much easier than I did dip I have found.. I had two today and did not withdrawal at all or act like an asshole!!

Hey Guys.. I just posted this in Rubicons feed.. Whoa!!! it took me back.. way back..


I remember as a kid seeing my dad spit out the window while he was driving and yes I though it was the coolest.. I don't know how long it was after that.. but we were at Walmart (I think) when Walmart was still kinda small..36 years ago..  we were Christmas shopping.. I asked Dad if I could get some tobacco.. Chewing Tobacco - Work Horse.. He looked at Mom she looked at Him and he said sure.. And as he told me 100s of times before his death in 2008.. "I thought it would make you sick and that would be the end of that".. well it did make me sick.. I remember the 1st time I tried to chew it.. I went out in the yard and took one leaf.. As a 6 year old boy it was very strong.. My young body tried to reject the fact that I was now putting poison into my body and it shuttered and shook to try to stop it! I spit it out.. BUT - I kept on trying time and again.. I got sick time after time, sometimes throwing up.. but more than anything I wanted to be like my dad and be able to chew and spit out of a window.. That"s what I thought it took to make him proud of me.. Well finally I could do it.. Chew and spit! Then finally I was chewing in front of my other cousins who couldn't.. me playing the big shot.. then in front of my kids at school.. then i started dipping.. then years later I couldn't quit! I was an addict.. I think you know the rest of the story... Join us in a fight to save your life and maybe the life of your child as well.. He will do what his Daddy does..

Unfortunately it is the truth and I have 2 boys that seem to think they need to have something in thier lip to play baseball or shoot their bows or much of anything, now things are getting better but they saw it for sooo long it will be rewiring them as well as myself!
