Personally I like hooch the best of all of the fakes. Comes pretty quick when you order it, too.

Just my $.02

Btw the regular kind of smokey mountain is fucking disgusting, the wintergreen or whatever is decent.
SM Straight isn't any better. The Walmart here only has wintergreen and classic. So, I ordered some straight online. FUCKING DISGUSTING! Wintergreen is the only flavor that is decent. I've gotten to where I hardly use it now. I do chew a shitload of gum though. I've had the same can of SM for over a month in my desk and only used it once.
Yeah I'm not sure if it was classic or straight, but it is horrible. I will be tossing it. It was nice to be able to pick them up at Walmart. Otherwise I would have had to order some online, in which case I wouldn't have been able to drink last night.

Drank last night, which probably wasn't a good idea. I stocked up on 3 more types of seeds, some popcorn, cheeze its, and that smokey mountain alternative crap to combat the cravings. I had some significant cravings but enjoyed laughing in their ugly little faces. I did not cave. Caving is not an option. It was probably unwise to put myself in that situation though, but I enjoy testing myself and had a great reason to celebrate.

I didn't post this in roll call since I don't want others rationalizing that it's ok to drink early in their quits because I did it. I don't want to do anything to throw anyone off course. Btw the regular kind of smokey mountain is fucking disgusting, the wintergreen or whatever is decent.

I bought some of that Smokey Mountain shit from Walmart, the classic flavor or whatever. I opened it up and wanted to puke. It smells absolutely horrible.

Fighting off constant cravings and I'm extremely irritable today. I've almost gone off on my lazy ass roommate a few times, haha. But I'm embracing the rage and keeping my eyes on the prize, which is eventual freedom and improved health. I've felt pretty out of it today, not sure if it's related or not. I had a great workout earlier, but this evening I've felt really tired/sluggish and even passed out for about 15 mins for no good reason. I also can't concentrate but I have ADD and have consumed a bunch of caffeine today so who knows. Anyway, yeah.
Don't worry, I went ape shit on my roomate out no less than 3 times in the initial quit phase. He knew what was going down though because he had quit smoking a year earlier and I got to deal with his bullshit then. Stay quit.
I have wrassled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale, I done handcuffed lightning, and thrown thunder in jail.

On that same screen, it tells you that files have to be jpg or some other types. I think I got that message ten times before I figured it out and found an appropriate link.
Watch out for the size of the image also.
You a five finger death punch fan I take it?

Indeed.
It's great for lifting. I can't listen to it riding or I'd probably fly off of the trail and die.
Good Music for certain things. You want to make sure you pick the appropriate time to use it...

I DO NOT listen to them at work for fear of slamming someone in the head with a stapler.. but as you say GREAT for working out.

STAY QUIT
Greg

Its been about a year as of today without chew and its great. Bought myself a new Harley for all the efforts.
Very nice, I have been wanting to get a dual sport so maybe I should get myself one next summer as a reward. I can probably save up for half of one or so in that time with the $$ I save from not dipping (for 05 KLR or something).

Think I'm going to load up on "dip alternative" products for when I drink again.  Need to make sure I'm well prepared.  Better give it some time though, only at day 5. :(
You shouldn't drink right now at all. If you're a golfer, you'll understand the saying, "there's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip." Drinking = fucked up quit and posting a day 1. I don't want that for you, but, most importantly, you don't want that for you. So, do yourself a favor and lay off the booze for awhile.
You're right, and it's sad that it will be difficult for me not to for a while. Maybe I should look into that as my next quit, haha (I mean quitting drinking not another nic quit, to be clear). :(
