Hey So Outside of being selfish MIA on vacation for a little bit (Thanks KEDDY and STEVE for calling me out), I did have a benefit to quitting that I wanted to share..

...So year after year of going on vaca, I would pause chewing for vaca the day our trip would start....with that, always a day or two in I would fricking blow up like an asshole or duck off in a convenience store to get a quick fix.....regardless, my wife or kid quickly wouldnt want to be on vacation anymore.... 'bang head'

Now after having quit for a couple of weeks and then hitting vacation, it was the best time we had away in years and my son (who is now old enough to realize what is going on) thanked me again for qutting and the vacation without being a dick. 'boob'

Holy Shit.

I can smell a month around the corner, but with that said, I will not chew today....

That is an awesome post. So true. We all thought we coped better with nicotine. It's just the opposite.

'Cheers'

We had a guy in our group manage to post roll from the cayman islands. Did you at least let anyone in your group know you might be MIA.

No Kubrick, I didnt. My bad. Will do so next time.

Get involved. Get to know guys in your group and others on the site. The more time you invest, the more personal you make this the better your chances of success.

Have numbers of people you can text to post for you if something happens and you cannot post for yourself. Build accountability!! The magic of this place is you have thousands of other quitters watching out for you, helping you along. Use the tools provided freely to you.

STAY QUIT
Greg

Sorry guys - went to providenciales for a week w family. Still on the hook 23 days and hanging in.....had some trouble with internet access / work paying for it so I apologize for not posting roll. I really do not want to chew this shit again....

I did have the craziest crave......I was about 70' underwater diving, cooling out watching a shark go by and as he was swimming off into the blue I thought - man I could really go for a chew right now (regulator in my mouth and all).....Shark came back in my direction a couple mins later and I forgot about chewing!!

So listen to this, and it is not to get any sympathy......

My close friend passed away this morning at 44 yrs old after a three year battle w throat cancer. Now, this guy was a lifetime non-chewer / non smoker. He just got a swollen gland one day and got the shit...This good guy ALWAYS busted my balls daily about quitting chewing, how it will fuck you up before and after he got sick, and I said "yeah, I know" , looked the other way and packed in another chew. This would occur daily, over and over and over. What an addicted a-hole I am.

Now with feeling pretty down and 11 days into my quit, I say what the fuck, is it time to cave and have a chew? What would my friend's teenage kids think about that when I see them later?

What a disgusting thought..................

Please join me in qutting this shit for another day.....

Thanks all.

Hey Tinman, I see you haven't posted roll for 4 days. What gives?

Uh oh. Tin man. Check in

Tinman I find that helping fellow quiters and laughing are my 2 best defenses against the bitch!  Nothing like imagining MThomas licking a toads ass or having a corncob in his pants to take my mind off dip. ( those were both insider stories and I still don't know if he spit or swallowed). Read and laugh!

'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup'
Damn it. WT! Reading that, everyone thinks I put corncobs in my pants!

I don't need a corncob. My junk is a replica of a 747. Big fuselage and little tiny landing gear. I might stuff apricots but no corn cob!!!!!!

Man - you guys are inspirational!! Day 12 baby!!

Feeling the support and chuckling at times along the way really makes this much funner than trying to outrun this addiction alone!!

In previous 'pauses' it has always been about 7-14 days that I have never made it thru. An you know what, I have always thought myself to be mentally tough - ex college wrestler and all, but wow my head plays games and it is all bullshit.....

I will be Quit today!!!!

THANK YOU ALL 'boob'

I say tap into that old wrestling mentality! I was a wrestler I cant say I was awesome but I was average and very determined.

I have used my determination and resolve to get this far so believe me it works!

keep on keeping on and dont look back, pay it forward and always attack!
