Hey! I just got a little green box and received the handle of Trollop. I donÂ’t even know what that means

A weird thing happened this morning. I came down the stairs to post roll and as I was headed towards my laptop I caught myself unconsciously reaching out for my can of grizzly that used to sit next to it on a table nearby. I was unconsciously going to put a dip in and post roll. In other words; go about business as usual before four days ago.

Now wait a minute you sayÂ…that would be blasphemous you dipping and posting rollÂ…enough for a man to get rolled up overÂ…enough to get thrown into the lions denÂ…but I was going to do it without even knowing.

See..I think that maybe that was a good thing. HereÂ’s the reasoningÂ…for the first time in days I wasnÂ’t so conscience of the quit that it tormented me. I reached out for that can out of habit more than want because the thing I want the most is not to ever have to go through what I just went through the last 3 days. I wouldnÂ’t have taken a dip even it had been offered up on a nice set of voluptuous boobies. It was out of habit.

SeeÂ…IÂ’ve talked myself out of an urge by thinking about something else. What were we talking about?....

I hope Jeremy comes back today and that guy Goose Slayer

good job hootie. you got the right idea, you have to quit for yourself first and foremost - cuz if you don't want that, you're going to have a hard time down the road.

WellÂ…got that 70 hours out of the way. My body should be nicotine free now. I wonder what that and a dollar will get me down at the EZ Mart. Just kiddÂ’n I am proud. I make fun on the outside but on the inside I feel good about it because I done something. I feel just as proud for my buddies that are in the same class as me making it through this day. What a tough 3 days. AinÂ’t no turning back now my hooahs.

No doubt. Good luck on getting out of the house tomorrow, and give me a shout if you need it. What's better than a day with no dip? Another one. 'na na'
The problem is not the problem.  The problem is your attitude about the problem.  Do you understand?

BoyÂ…you guys totally screwed me out of a Scooby Snack as well by bypassing my texting thread and going straight for the merits of fake snuff thread. JeezeÂ…

FWIW- I always thought that that Grizzly on the front of the can was a little pussified. I mean reallyÂ…I bet a gerbil could look meaner
Folks who aren't addicts have no clue. Figured you knew that. It's not front page news. That's why we all come here to talk shop, if you will, Mr. Hootster.

Friend: You arenÂ’t watching that arrogant sob are you?
Hootie: Evidently you are

Friend:  Hell no. Can’t have my blood pressure up
Hootie: Actually IÂ’m in bed reading a book. I quit chewing tobacco yesterday and I am licking my wounds

Friend:  Hope you stick to it. I know that nicotine habit is hard to break. Went to lease earlier had four pigs in trap. Let em all go
Hootie: ArenÂ’t you nice all of the sudden to the little piggies. LOL 46 hrs nicotine free buddy. IÂ’m gonna be OK

Friend:  45 yrs nicotine free for me. Thank God. I’m so glad I never got hooked on that crap
Hootie: YouÂ’re a better man than I wasÂ…

I said all this to askÂ…is it so much to ask for a little Scooby Snack for making it for 46 hours. JeeshÂ…

Thank goodness for this forum
I ordered the Smky Mtn sampler. It includes a "straight" flavor not sold at my local wally world. Haven't gotten it yet. I'll let you know. The "classic" is awful in Smky Mtn and Hooch. I was a Skoal LC straight fella, but I prefer the flavored shit now. I used to think the flavored stuff was like a dessert dip or something. Mint hooch is tolerable. I only use fake stuff when i need a break from the salty seeds.
I went for the 5 pack sampler, 2 straight, 2 mint pouches; and don't remember the lst one.

Always was a skoal/grizzly straight guy until copenhagen came out with their long cut straight for less than 3 a can last year. I was going through that like water until 3 days ago.

Is it just me or does Smokey Mountain Classic taste like medicineÂ…maybe cough syrup. I like the wintergreen better and I hated Skoal or any of the wintergreen snuff.

I was a fine cut natural kind of guy

IÂ’m getting tired of smelling them wintergreen lifesavers I bought; think I will throw them out.

The jerky the wife bought at Wally world smells like butt.

My taste and smell seem to be changing at the 65 hour mark
Life is already changing. Awesome. Keep going.
