Day 25! I've had several "cave nightmares" since this started, but last night I had a dream with a much better twist on the theme. I was sitting around a picnic table with a bunch of high school buddies somewhere near where I grew up (MI). Although the dream took place in a location involving my past, it was a "present tense" dream. In other words, I was about the same age I am now, and we were talking about how I was visiting from KY.

Two guys threw in lippers, and one asked if I wanted in. Not only did I decline, but I was actually grossed out by the thought. Not as one who had quit and was trying to stay quit, but was one who had never even dipped to start with.

I'm sure avoiding temptation is not going to be as effortless as it was in that dream, but it was a good dream nonetheless.
I have only had one dip-mare so far. They suck. Maybe your brain is rewiring and now you will have dip wet dreams in which you f@#k the bitch:-)

21 days. I almost can't believe it.
3 full weeks of quit! Congrats!

Remember... "almost" only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades. As far as quitting... you either are or you are not. I can see that you ARE! So believe it!! You are doing it today.

Keep at it bro! QUit with you all day long!

Day 18.  Still feeling strong.  No fog, but still feelilng antsy from time to time.  I'm pretty sure I have consumed an entire season's yield of sunflower seeds at this point.
Hey this really cracked me up. Then I gotta explain to the guy who walked by my office- wtf-- aint that funny if they can't relate. Don't worry, confidentiality was maintained. Love the avatar too, btw.

Keep up the quit and shout out if you need anything at all to help!
No sweat. I'm not worried about confidentiality. Unlike many of the folks here, I have never been a ninja dipper or a closet quitter. I'm an open book!
Welcome to Day 19 Compton - You got a great quit going on!
I was like you compton, an open book. I didn't care where and when I chewed. I was such an idiot. How embarrassing it must have been for my wife and kids. I don't have enough time left in my life to make up for the stupid stuff i've put my family through.

My family is so happy that is behind me now. My kids don't have to worry that they are picking up a can full of poison. They don't have to sit at a red light and wonder if I'm going to open the door and spit right there for the world to see. I could go on with this, but i'm making new memories now.

I wish I had all that money back I spent. My oldest is fixing to start college. I could use that $30/40,000.

Our families deserve this quit compton. I know that we quit for ourselves first, but our families benefit in so many ways. Glad to be quit with you.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Lucky 13: First vivid dip dream last night. Fog is pretty much gone, but I feel jittery in situations where I would otherwise have been dipping (right after eating is a big one).

I also picked up a few cans of smokey mountain today. I was going to try to hold off on that for longer, because I'm worried about being stuck with a new gross expensive habit.

Recalling the "whatever it takes" mentality of KTC, I ended up buying some to give the seeds/gum a break. I have to say that I'm very impressed at how realistic the texture and flavor is.

So, all in all, feeling pretty strong heading into the 2-week turn.
Two weeks is STRONG.

Don't worry much about the smokey mountain.

Speaking from my own personal experience it's a good pacifier to help with the craves but over time you will develope a "take it or leave it" attitude towards it. I used it for a few months maybe and over time I just got sick of spitting into a bottle and haven't used it since.

Like you said though....whatever it takes.

Quit on...

Day 11: The Day I Googled "Are Sunflower Seeds Bad For You?"

Quit is strong.

Investment advice: short tobacco stocks, go long in seeds. I may put your kid through college by myself.
Seeds are high in calcium, and don't cause cancer. Not to mention I ALWAYS have gum for the day.. and seeds for tv time or what have you. I'm never without  ALL the kids (nephews  nieces) know this.. I'm the gum factory, and buy it by the box.. I figure start them on gum to keep them from something else.. I ask how are you today? They reply good, can I have a piece of gum? Still trying to teach my son how to blow bubbles, he used to copy me spitting on the ground.. I'll take the bubbles any day.. peace

I was going through a bag a day of seeds. Now I'm down to about 2 bags a week. Chomp those fuckers like crazy if it keeps you quit.
