Hit 90 today, feeling cautiously optimistic about my quit. Don't want to get ahead of myself but I am getting comfortable with my quit and actually feel like I can start to trust myself a bit. Had a good friend deliver hay yesterday and had a talk with him about KTC while he had a fatty shoved in his lip. We had talked about quitting before, I got to share with him about my quit. I really hope it got him thinking. He has three young boys that sure think a lot of their dad and want to be like him.
And yes I have had some crazy ex's but none as crazy as the nic bitch.
I am also taking pretty serious the fact that I will be the first of my group to hit 100. Not all in the group know me but I am sure that many watch my numbers. I am an addict, I am quit, I will quit again in the morning.
Eating my elephant one bite at a time.

Excellent!! Great attitude.

Well put Horesman, I like that "cautiously optomistic" Thats a good way to put it, because, A.) You are damn right 90 days of quit is awesome, and something to be proud of. B.) Always keeping your guard up because you know that you have to quit ODAAT, is a smart Idea and shows true quitter qualities. Keep doing what your doing bud. Lead the way for your group to the HoF.

Horseman, nice post. I think it's cool to spread the word (don't have to be an asshole about it). Ordered a shirt yesterday, I will wear it on organized motorcycle rides, out to the bar when I am at my camp, etc. Places where there is a good chance someone with a lip full may see it and ask. Hoping it may start a conversation or two and ultimately save a life or two. Also, going to make sure my dentist knows about KTC. Pay it forward. Proud to be quit with you and all of April. Glad you are blazing the trail, congrats on 90! It did not elude me that you will be the first to hit HOF in our group. Have been watching your quit all along!

I posted day 87 this morning. Things have gone along relatively well for the past couple of weeks. No major craves just little triggers that I dont give 2 seconds thought to anymore. Mostly cause it is easier to look at the nic bitch like an old girlfriend, been there done that and dont want to revisit that crazy bitch.
Weird thing is that I have had cave dreams the past two nights. I dont think that I have had one before this point. I am the kind that rarely even remembers his dream but I am waking up to thinking I have caved. Last night I saw a can and the next thing I knew I had a wad in my lip.
Makes me realize that the nic bitch is just that, she is that super crazy bitch that would try to sneak in your house in the middle of the night. You would wake up and the crazy shit is sitting in a chair by your bed staring at you and asking why you wont answer her calls.
The nic bitch gives me the creeps. I quit that creepy bitch every damn day.

Sounds creepy Horse. Keep slaying the bitch ODAAT. I quit with you EDD!

Horseman. This is absolutely normal for addicts. We don't crave and we don't dream by choice. It comes from our subconscious. From there we can chose to glamorize and entertain the crave or get support to have it leave. Have you ever been craving and like that, the craving is gone? This is part of the re-wire process. The feelings of using nic are still so vivid in a dream because your brain stored the memory. The memory receptors and the feel good receptors bypass your frontal lobe so the decision to think about dip or not think about it is impossible. Your brain experienced it and stored the memory. You can't control a crave or a dream but you can chose to dismiss the crave.

729 days the night before my 2 year mark and I had one. It was a nightmare of sorts. I keep spitting out skoal long cut. It wasn't in a nice wad it would separate and was all over my tongue, teeth and lips. When I rinsed it out, I could still feel grains and if someone came up to me, I had another lipper in. No matter what I did, I couldn't rid my mouth of tobacco until I woke. But I did wake and posted roll then went about my day. No harm, no foul just a subconscious memory fart in my sleep.

Denying the Bitch during the day is easy cause we have our guards up. At night she can fuck with your subconscious. Bitch has no power in dream land thank God!

P.S. sounds like you got some crazy EX Girlfriends........... Whats there number? :D

Horse,

I'm on day 709. I went the first 50-60 days without any dip dreams. I can't say it's been 100% consistent, but months where I have 4 or 5 a week. Some I wake up immediately knowing it was a dream and others I wake up in a cold sweat, in almost tears thinking I have to post day 1.

Some people don't get them at all, and some people get them bad. I do take medication for depression and anxiety (not related to my quit) and I think that might have something to do with it.

[slinger]

I've had three of those dreams already in the first 16 days of my quit. The first two were snuff dreams that were so realistic that they woke me up. What a feeling of relief when you wake up to find that you haven't really caved. Last night I dreamed that I was smoking a pipe, which I did occasionally in addition to dipping. I read about the dip dreams, but I didn't know they would be so frequent and vivid.
