Greenspidy Intro

[Thumblewort]

Day 50 for me today. Small potatoes in the big picture but 51 days ago it would've seemed impossible to even think 50 days without that shit in my face was a possibility.

Congrats on 50- keep up the solid QUIT EDD! Nobody can jump to 50- it's gotta be done one day at a time. The big picture is staying quit- if your quit that isn't small potatoes. Wake up, piss and promise to stay quit.

Quit on Greenspidy!

50 is not small potatoes bro, you earned it day by day!

Haven't added to this in awhile. Figured I would leave some comments on milestones, just to look back at when I am further along in my quit. Today is 9/8/14, my 45th birthday but more importantly, my 40th day into my quit. I have reached that stage where I am trying to find my new normal. The craves have not completely gone away, nor do i expect them to, but they have become manageable. The key to this has been accountability, preparation and a great support team on here but also a small group of brothers in my text group. Tuco, Bass, Castle and ChrisTKE. Looking forward to the next milestone but every day I deny that Nic-Bitch is a milestone in and of itself.

Rock on, Spidy! This is damn birthday gift you could have given yourself. Or as Cousin Eddie says, "It's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year, Clark"

Nice, a double celebration. Happy Birthday bro ... you've got an awesome quit going, keep it up. Proud to be quit with you!

Happy Birthday bro! Here's to another 45 years  being QUIT.

Thanks guys. One question tho... Any of u have an opinion on the fake shit? I tried it once and thought if was awful. That was 10 years ago and i see new brands out. My vice was Grizzly Straight Long Cut. Not sure if there is anything out there close... Never liked any flavored shit. Part of me doesn't even wanna put anything in my lip. I have been chewing the shit out of cinnamon gum, even wedging it in my lip. Truthfully the physical part has been bearable. The mental part is harder. Thanks for the feedback....

Never liked the fake stuff. Tried mint leaves and shredded beef jerky years ago and both did nothing for me. Sunflower seeds are my next attempt for a go to. Let me know what you try and how it's works for you. Today I quit with you my friend.

I've been surviving with Dentyne Fire gum. Load up a wad and put it in my lip. I get the satisfaction of SOMETHING being there. No satisfaction of spitting tho, as stupid as that sounds. May try seeds for that. I'm really digging this accountability aspect. I've lied to myself b4. As well as this group, I signed a paper with my kids swearing to not dip. No excuses. They know I will be an asshole occaisionaLLY. Thanks for your support, brother.

This is bad ass. Anybody bad ass enough to sign a piece of paper to their kids earns my respect.

If you need another contact/level of accountability... Shoot me a pm. The pain isn't fun. The mental misery blows. But the freedom that you are pushing toward is beyond description. You'll never regret quitting. No one does.

You can so this, brother. One day at a time.

Glad to have you with us and proud to be quit with you.

PM me if there's anything I can do to help.

I used Grizz Straigh LC also, can a day actually. I also used Smokey Mountain Classic, early in my quit. It doesn't taste like Grizz, which is good, but it does mimic that classic flavor you'd expect. It really kept me grounded early in my quit. Think in terms of a security blanket. In times I would dip, I used Smokey, and felt just fine. Just my .02 cents. Anything I can do to help, please PM me. Quit you buddy.

I picked up the Smokey Mountain Straight. Plan on only using it in severe cravings which have become less and less lately. Keep a can in work truck and one at home. My girls saw the can on end table and freaked. They said "You promised. You signed this agreement with us!!!" I had to calm them down and explain what the fake stuff was and how it has no tobacco and reassure them my word to them is solid. Wanna thank those that have reached out to me and PM'd me. Proud to be in this brotherhood with all of you.

Tommy, welcome bud ... I like your intro and your attitude. I also was a slave to the nic bitch for three decades +. This is my first quit, and what I know will be my only quit. KTC brotherhood ... it helps you quit, and stay quit. Glad you're here!

Fake stuff-wise, I'm still using the Jerky Chew as needed for the fixation. My mentality is that the other stuff is too close in color and consistency. Plus, I "gutted" Copenhagen for the last 10 years ... certainly didn't want to do that with some other stuff. I've always ate jerky, so I'm sticking with it ... for now. The key thought is use whatever it takes to keep the poison of nicotine out of your mouth, for as long as you need to. I'm at 114 days quit, and the need for it is definitely waning. It does take care of the mental aspect.

Again, Welcome brother, I'll quit with you every damn day!
