Going to look for chew sticks online later.. :D
Sounds fantastic
I liked them Cindy, I chewed through several boxes early on.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

When you stop quitting hard, you forget how hard it was.

"When will you put the arrogance and ignorance aside and choose to live and to live with honor and integrity. It's the best fucking feeling in the world. It beats the shit out of feeling like a loser caver. It beats the shit out of knowing that you are nic's bitch. It beats the shit out of getting cancer and dying. This is really hard shit and you have to attack it with a vengeance. Get after it January. Quit like fuck" ~ Bronc

It's my 10th day quit! Other than still having a short fuse, I am doing well. Making lots of great connections and again really amazed at this community. Trying to cut back on the fake, with more gnawing on Tea Tree chewing sticks. If you need an oral fixation, they work great. You can order them online or find them in your local healthy food co-op.

Thanks to my quit friend ladies! You are all incredibly strong, intelligent, beautiful and amazing women. Proud to quit with you all.
Wouldn't be Edson Farms, would it?
Haha - No, Oryana! I still can't get over the fact that we are almost neighbors and we work a block from each other.

LOL, Amy works across the street from me.
Meeting a fellow quitter face to face is an awesome experience, it makes everything that much more real. The paths have already crossed, now just cross the street and meet a quitter!
"If you want to quit then stop talking and just QUIT. If you want to kill yourself a bullet is cheaper and faster than a tin, plus it eliminates my hearing you whine and cry like a bitch."

This poem by Wendell Berry illustrates the healing process beautifully.


I go among trees and sit still.
All my stirring becomes quiet
around me like circles on water.
My tasks lie in their places
Where I left them, asleep like cattleÂ…

Then what I am afraid of comes,
I live for a while in its sight.
What I fear in it leaves it,
And the fear of it leaves me.
It sings, and I hear its song.
This was great- thanks for posting. Keep up the good quit- you are doing it. Enjoy how the freedom feels!!

Day 9. I have a confession to make.

I didn't throw away all my chew when I quit. I saved an unopened can, and placed it in my bag for when the crisis situation arose. I really thought that there would be a time in the first few days that I would cave. I thought about that can many times over the first few days of my quit. If it wasn't for the daily promise I was posting, and all the bad ass quitters in my corner - hands down I would have caved.

I can't remember what day I forgot thinking about it, still in a bit of a fog, but I know this today. I am quit. I will succeed with this program because I know I am not alone. I did not cave even with the can near me all those days when I thought I would have killed for some.

I flushed it a few minutes ago and watched it spiral. I said goodbye forever, along with a prayer that it wasn't already too late.

Kill the Can, I thank you and all who make this happen. For all you who reach out to me and support me - so grateful.

You have all saved my life.
I don't think I've formally welcomed you to the fold, so welcome! Glad you've found us and found success in your battle against this terrible addiction.

9 days ago your addict brain convinced you to get and keep a stash can for emergencies or for "just in case." Now that you've put 9 days worth of daylight between you and the nicotine, plus a lot of interaction here on KTC, you realized what a hugely, massively, monumentally bad idea that was. Keeping an emergency stash can is like carrying around a bullet in your pocket "just in case" you need to shoot yourself. When we quit, we quit for good. You know that now.

I kind of wish you had taken some photos or even a video of the water burial. Watching people dump their tins in the shitter has turned into a bit of a fetish for me as of late.
Thanks Tuco, I really feel liberated! I've been a slave to that crap for so long! FREEDOM IS MINE! What an amazing feeling it is. Yes sir.
Amy - These are referred to as trophy cans. I had one as well. Not too sure what day I dumped it but you should do the same. Video it and post a link for Tuco so he can rub one out.
AJK,
Nice job on flushing the "trophy can". As imperative as the support is to everyone's quit...you are the one quitting. Keep doing what you are and you will continue to be successful in your quit. We all hope it is not too late, but we cannot control that. That ship has sailed. All we can control is today so let's focus on that. You have a great start to your quit just stay diligent. PM me if you need some more digits.
Brave men are honored, rich men are envied, powerful men are feared, but only a man with character is trusted
