Yeah man its blows.

I know the moment if I were to get a dip and put it in the feelings would be short lived and then I'd find my whole entire week wasted. I got myself convinced that I really enjoy the habit but in reality I'm just a fucking nicotine junkie.

My main reason to quit is that the habit is progressive and that it's interfering with my weightlifting ambitions. Apparently when you reach a certain level of nicotine addiction your body is basically robbed of a majority of nutrients and thus making muscle growth exponentially more difficult.

My mother quit cig's after 35 years of smoking and shes 2 years clean and says she still misses smoking. It makes me wonder if I'm still going to be having not dipping on my mind long after I quit?

I was at the store last night and saw a product advertised for cigarettes that had me feeling a little shaken. The product was disposible filters you could place over the cigarettes so it had less tar. The product had in bold lettering "For Those Who Simply Cannot Quit"

Not that I'm one of those people but its quite frightening that some people can reach a point where they literally lose all the capability and will power to quit, and that product is advertising based on this concept. At any rate I hope I will start to feel better, Its not the headaches and all getting to me but that my mouth is watering missing its familar friend. An asshole of a friend indeed.

I've been dipping since around age 14 and I'm currently 22 now. I started dipping a can or more a day everyday at around age 19 and have started realizing this crazy train needs to end.

I really enjoy dipping, I'm trying to convince myself that its merely that I'm addicting to the habit and its a crutch of comfort. Right now I'm barely hanging in there.


I'm on day 5 this time and honestly I feel like a wreck. I don't remember feeling this way in the past, usually my worst moments peaked 1-3 but today is something different entirely.  The idea of a pinch just sounds like a great time; but I realize that one of these days I'm going to have to quit and I'm this deep in the hole as is.


Pretty much I'm just rambling but its kept me from running to the store so far. I feel worthless and have pretty much spent the past few days self examining and deconstructing myself so low that I feel like dipping is the least of my problems and I can continue dipping until I get my life on track.

I know this habit is going to be the death of me, I'd dip a can in 4 pinches and leave each massive pinch in my mouth for about an hour or so at a time. My back and neck hurt all the time and I experience acute jaw pain.


In summation:

Fuck, I have a headache.  Someone remind me why i'm doing this shit? I swear normally I'm decently articulate but today is just something else.  Feels pretty bad. I've quit in the past for weeks at a time but never quite felt like this. If I relapse this time its going to be months before I try again.
Some may come along and point out quite a few things which should concern you about your above post. I will not.

I will tell you that I understand. I was you One thousand seven hundrend and seventy one days ago. You can't imagine how great things will get. Hell, you would not believe me if I tried to tell you.

We don't try, we fuckin do. You're not addicted to the habit your addicted to the nicotine. What you're feeling is normal, its called the suck/fog, it ends and gets a shit ton better. Balls up man, if this quitting thing was easy everyone would do it. The pussies belong on the other side of the fence, dipping. Where do you stand? Are you committed?
Quit date: 11/21/11
HOF date: 2/28/12
Comma date: 8/16/14
It's a freedom thing
