Sorry I didn't see your guys replies until now. I like to fish the Mississippi south of the twin cities. I also enjoy fishing Lake of the woods, upper red winnie, leech and Mille lacs (before the crash...). Detroit river and lake Erie are definitely on my bucket list! Don happy to hear you could have an opener with out dip! I two will have the same experience in a few weeks for walleye opener. Thanks to you both for the worlds of wisdom.


Quit is going good had a few bumps in road but over all I am doing good. Sleep is still messed up but way better then it was at first. Last few days I have been getting really odd feelings in my cheeks, mostly upper left. I have been getting numbness sensations. I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.

Sam the dentist appointment went well they didn't find anything troubling, I am feeling a little less stress now!

Welcome aboard walleye guy. Glad the quit is going well. Listen to WT, he speaks the truth. You will soon develop a very healthy hatred for tobacco and nicotine. And you should. The hate will fuel your quit fire.

So tell me, where do you fish? I live near Detroit and the walleye are stacked up in the river right now. Getting limits by 830 in the morning. The action has been fast and furious.

Guard this quit with your life my friend. It may well be your very life that you are saving. You will soon see that you never needed that shit for anything.

Hey Walleye - Good to hear that your quit is going well. On day 61 now and went fishing last week and didn't dip - that marks the first opening day of trout season in nearly 38 years that I didn't have a dip in my mouth. I survived but it was tough. When the veterans tell you that our brains need to be re-wired they are speaking the truth. I used to fish a lot in PA (upper Allegheny River) for Walleye - by far the best fish to catch! Good luck with your quit and remember - help is always a text message away!

Thanks for all the replies! Sorry that I have not been able to update in a while, I have been working a lot lately. What a difference a few days makes fog is gone for the most part and I am getting sleep at night. I still get some bad craves but I do not EVER want to be back where I was in the first 72 hours.... On a lighter note I have had a lot of fun with co workers that ask for a dip, I always say sure and toss them my can of smoky mountain. It is funny to watch them study the can of smoky mountain usually followed by what is this shit?

I am going to the dentist tomorrow and I am not going to lie I am a little nervous. I know its something that I have to do and hopefully will be releaved tomorrow.


Stay strong everyone and thanks for all the support!

Well today was a tough day for fishing but a good day for my quit. I actually got some sleep so I didn't feel like one of these 'zombie' all day. Crave wise I had a few, the lady at the gas station asked if that would be all when I paid for my gas, seeds and poweraid. I almost said the words and a grizzly wintergreen, not because I was craving it but out of pure habit. Of course I told her that would be all and did not buy the chew. Crazy how this shit gets hardwired in your brain. I also found 3 tins in the boat today some with tobacco they got tossed in the garbage. My buddy was really supportive and happy that I quit. He did ask why and I told him it had been 10 years and it was time. I still get hung up on the fact that I am only 27 and i have been doing something that is killing me for 10 fucking years! Makes me feel old and the fact the 3.0. bday is getting ever closer.

question for or everyone who has walked the path I am walking at the day 5 stage did your body feel better over all? I feel like i have more energy and just my over all health is better. I am not sure if this is something anyone else has experienced. I did do definitely feel better today in terms of craves and the fog was less today.


Special thanks to who ever posted roll for me today!! I could not get it to work on my phone..


ON TO DAY 6!!!

Winning one day at a time, fantastic. I recall reaching in my pocket after a meal, still shifting my tongue around my mouth like I had a dip in. It is amazing how hard wired we become. Your brain will re-wire itself over time all by itself. You just focus on making that daily promise to yourself and us and being a man of your word. The rest will happen all by itself!

Weekends/days off can be tough. Guard your quit this weekend. Watch your alcohol consumption (if you are a drinker), and have a plan. Numbers for guys in your group, access to chat if you start feeling shitty, gums/seeds, etc. Stay strong!

Great job walleye! Let's think about feeling better. Imagine every day putting all those chemicals in your body. All of a sudden you stop after 10,20 in my case 38 years. I feel awesome, never knew I was supposed to feel this good. And use to didn't think I could or even wanted to try to make it 2 hours without a dip unless I was a sleep. That is some mighty powerful shit and you and I will struggle to beat this the rest of our lives. It's worth every damn second of it! Proud to be quit with you today my friend!

Rawls thanks for the kind words of wisdom, they are taken to heart.

Today was just plan fucking bad. I rolled around in bed until 630 am before I got to sleep then woke up every 40 min after that until 11pm. Thank good i did not have to work today but I did have training. Things that would be second nature seemed extraordinary effort to complete, I cant wait for the fog to lift! Tomorrow I am going fishing with a good buddy of who has been on by ass to quit since I was in high school. I have not told him about my decision to quit but I know he will be supportive and excited. Thank you all for the support, I could not do it without you all!

Walleye I know your friend will be happy for you, I am! Hang in there brother, the suck gets better and the quit is worth every damn second of it! Proud to be quit with you today my brother!

I am also proud and supportive of your quit and any other serious quitter that follows the plan quitting daily.
