Hello all,
I'm 42 and have been chewing since I was 20. First 14 years was a can or a week of Kodiak. I only dipped at parties or in the truck or when I hunted.
For the last 8 Years I have dipping a bit more, 2-5 cans a week of Grizzly. At work, in the truck, at home when the wife was gone, hunting, any chance I could get to a dip in and not get busted from the wife. Of course she thought I quit 8 years ago when I tried Accupuncture to quit.
So here I am 50 days into my final Quit. I went this time COLD Turkey.
This is the toughest thing I have ever put myself through. The craves are still UNBELIEVABLE. Some days better than others. Seeds and Altoids are getting me barely through.
All I think about is having a dip. It is driving me crazy. I wish I could go for more than 4-5 hours without getting mad that I can't have just one.

well if you want to stay quit...you can't have just one...you got to bite your bottom lip and give that nic bitch a titty slap...you got this man...one fuckin minute at a time. We'll worry about tomorrow when it comes. You are quit today and that is the most important thing.
Welcome to KTC. 50 days on your own is great.
Read the welcome center link above and post roll. Looks like May is your group.
You have found the right place. We support each other here. Rage is natural. You can never have just 1 so you got to get that thru your head today.
We quit one day at a time. Just focus on keeping clean for this day. Breaking it down and focusing on what you control is the key.
So, let's get a roll post and get this quit rolling KTC style.
Come with us. We post roll daily. That how it's done. It is a great thing you sought us out. We quit for life, one day at a time. I quit with you today.
Welcome. Glad you found this site. Quit one day at a time with us and post roll promising yourself and all of us that you'll stay nicotine free today. Reach out to people who will keep you accountable. This forum is only as useful as you allow it to be.
It takes time James. Quitting One Day At A Time really works. Just stay in here, drink the koolaid, make friends, stay quit and it will/does get better/easier.
Believe it or not, it is all in our heads.
We just have to let go, lean into the fall, re-wire with KTC and The Truth.
If my sorry ass can do this, then I know that YOU can too.
side note: learn what nicotine really is...pure poison.
Dwell on it, learn to hate it and the industry that sells it.
remember: It is our choice each day our feet hit the floor. You decide each day. Just quit today, this minute or hour. Whatever it takes to "not" put the poison in our mouths.
