Thanks Doc.

It was a tough drive to work this morning. I thought that I was mostly over the cravings, apparently not. I wanted a dip really bad on my way to work, but I popped in a couple sticks of gum instead. Just goes to show that I shouldn't be over-confident. The NB can attack at any time.

[MonsterMedic]

Just took a nap at the station, about 20 minutes or so.  Had my first dip dream.  It was pretty awful.  Woke up feeling like I had two pouches in my lip and I immediately put a finger in my lip to throw it out (even though it obviously wasn't there). 

That shit's terrible.  Hope I never have another one...

Some serious quit going on here. Great job.

I'm over a year quit and cant tell you the number of dreams I've had. I appreciate everyone of them. It shows me just how it would feel if i broke my word to the world. It is the feeling of disgust, lack of integrity and loss of all the dignity i have fought for. Those dreams and feelings are why I'm still quit. They are the reasons you will keep your word today my friend.

The only way you won't have any more dreams is to give up and fail.

From what I'm reading and observing from your thread there is a lot more dreams headed your way. Quit with you.

Thanks for the support. I suppose you're right - that as awful as the dreams are, they're an affirmation of what I've set my mind to do/quit. I will persevere.

Day 11.  I don't feel the craving as bad now, but I still miss having something in my lip.  I think I've gotten past the need of the fake, but still hit gum and candy pretty hard.

I can almost see two weeks and it feels great!

Way to keep on quitting. The last couple days were "weird" for me to say the least. Having KTC to jump onto when things seems out of sorts has been a HUGE help. Happy to be quit with you today.

You both are badass quitters! Keep up the good work and stay diligent!
Quit with you both EDD!

There is only one rule to quitting, no nicotine. Aside from posting roll, there is no right or wrong way to quit. Personally, I don't use the fake stuffÂ…I've quit the "act" of dipping on top of the nicotine. But, that's just me. All I care about here is that you and our fellow KTC brethren don't use nicotine today. So do whatever you got to do to QLF.

Agreed^^^. Do what you must to stay quit. I used the fake for about 40 days and tossed it with no problem. After a week I didn't even miss it anymore. I still missed the poison, but I didn't miss the fake.

You've proved you can quit the poison.

Your beginning to learn that your in control of what you put in that pie hole my friend. It's all up to you. You beginning to see how this all works.

If all your worried about is the fake your right on track, keep doing what your doing. Its a battle up stairs my friend. Quit with you.

Steakbomb hit it on the head. The important thing is you're nt using nicotine. That's what you're addicted to. Not the act of chewing. You're addicted to a poisonous substance.

Thanks guys. I'm not using it nearly as often as I did with the cancer infused shit I used before. Just wanted some outside opinion on continuing to use the fake.

Thanks again!

Gotta tell you.  Today was day 7, and it feels a helluva lot easier than day 1 or 2!

  A question I've wondered since I've been using Smokey Mountain pouches (although I don't really like them and wish there were more options for an ex Snus user like myself) is it an issue to continue to chew fake stuff after you've quit?  I know that pretty much everyone here has supported using fake (as long as it's nicotine free) to help with your quit, but what is the feeling on continuing to use fake?

Unlike the real shit the fake can be stopped easily. It's not harmful so if ya like it, why not. I bought and used 1 can of SM on day 2. I should mention I had it for 5 days before I tossed the last bit in the trash. I liked it but didn't feel like it had hold of my balls. It's probably no worse than chewing gum and if it helps ya stay quit from Nic, it's all good. Keep on quitting.

Use whatever you need to, whatever works as long as it's nic free.
I'm hitting day 98 tomorrow and I have smokey mountain peach in my pocket right now.
I've noticed that I don't reach for it as often. I was using a can a day in the beginning. Now it's one can every two days.
I read a couple guys were just able to put it down later in their quit. Kind of forgot about it and realized they were over it.
I'm not there yet.
