I'm Back. I'm Dumb.

There's some controversy to what I'm about to say, but it worked for me. I switched from dipping to an electronic cigarette about 2 weeks ago. It hasn't stopped the dipping, but I'm going through significantly less now. I read that nicotine starts to replace dopamine after a while, so your body starts to not produce dopamine. All your symptoms are because of that. All in all, cold turkey symptoms will last about a week. After that, your body will start to make dopamine again. Just don't give up. You're stronger than a can of snuff. I've been dipping 8 years and I've tried to quit countless times. It's a terrible habit and a day doesn't go by that I don't regret starting it. Remember that you're doing this for you. Don't give into temptation and find something to take your mind off of the addiction. You can do this. You're strong. Show your family that you can kick addiction's ass.

Ã,…..is wrong.

That's some of the dumbest shit, I ever did read.

I lifted this conversation from another forum I visit.Ã,  This dude needs this site:

I have chewed for the last 2 decades or so... it was never a big habit... never more than a can every few days at the most, and sometimes I remember going a week without one, at least I think I remember doing that... then about 5 years ago I moved to pouches... and those were cleaner, less inconvenient appearance... and then last year (maybe the year before) I switched to snus... the ultimate in not being spotted... i could snus wherever, and was up to a can every 3 days... hiding from my wife, my kid... ugh... i started feeling the need to quit outweighed the apathy of not worrying about the consequences....
i reduced down the number intentionally the last 2 weeks... cutting down to just one before work, one on the drive home, one before bed... then just one on the way to work, one before bed...
then just one on the way home from work so I am not an asshole to my family... because I could feel the urge coming on...
I had a 48 hour migraine last week... not sure if it is related or not but I have never had a migraine go on for that long...
i had a panic attack/nightmare/sweats 4 or 5 nights ago... couldn't sleep for 2-3 hours, freaking out, hallucination type visions... quietly, in the spare bedroom where i was away from my wife...
and now.. I have quit... 2 days without...
yesterday was easy, i thought...
today... no
the urge is unlike anything I have ever experienced... a gnawing (pun intended) that is deep within me... an itch that is just below the surface that i can't scratch...
I didn't think i was this deep into an addiction... and this just fucking sucks... it is so bad it has led me to find this page... this reddit page, and I am pouring out my anger and frustration with myself in the hopes that reading it myself will give me strength to keep on it... to overcome...
i know this seems melodramatic... people go through worse addictions... people have worse problems... but I am the most optimistic guy I know... I work to make sure everyone is happy in all i do... i am that guy...
I can't let everyone know i need their support... that would be another thing to change in a time when I can only handle one big change....
i will probably hit delete in few seconds to all of this because i think i just needed to have it out somewhere... i needed to see that this is just a phase of withdrawal and I can get through this ridiculousness of my body aching for me, and my mind being irrational to get me there...
"will my wife hear the garage door go up since she is already in bed, so I can run up to the store and grab some?" "it is only one more snus to get me through this." "it isn't the time to quit, i should wait until springtime... that is the time of rebirth!"
ugh... thoughts... damn thoughts...
this is soooo much harder than i anticipated...

This dude is not quit. He's just peddling what he thinks. I ignored that post, and wrote this:

You aren't addicted to dip.
You aren't addicted to pouches.
You aren't addicted to snus.
You are, however, addicted to the nicotine. That's why quitting through "harm reduction" is odd: If you use a harm reduction aid (like e-cigs, lozenges, etc), you are merely prolonging that shitty feeling of withdrawal. I'm glad they gave you the confidence Dnny, but honestly you didn't start healing until after you were free from the drug.
The quitting technique with the most effective percentages (for long periods of times) is group therapy, and because we live in this wonderful world where everything is connected, online support systems are everywhere. I personally use a site called killthecan.org. There are a few others, but it is the most active with very active members.
Most people don't realize how hard it is to quit, but it can be done. Take it moment by moment, and don't worry about your past. Learn from it. Think about what led to the demise of your past quits, and figure out what you'll do differently if placed in that scenerio again. Don't worry about the future, but plan for it. I can't quit for later, but I can make sure to have gums/seeds/candy/herbal snuff at home, work, and in my car. I can make sure I don't walk into a hornet's lair unprepared.
You can do this. Get through the moment.
Breathe.
If you need anything, rant here and we got your back.

When you are at the KTC, you don't know how much information that we take for granted here that is GOOD ADVICE. We're not just guys out there (not even quit) spouting off some junk. We're fucking quitters, and we know what it's like to put our backs together and make sure that the nic bitch can't sneak up on us.

If you see somebody out there talking about quitting, throw down some knowledge. Don't just hold onto it for this site. Live your quit, and you will be quit for life.

Very cool! When I caved, I thought about not coming back out of pride. Maybe check out a different site. But I KNEW that this site was truth and that it was a place for real support and knowledge. I truly couldn't imagine any other place. At least here we know we are getting advice from people who are QUIT! Not TRYING to quit! Love KTC and wish more people knew about it.

Awesome stuff WP. I draw strength from your posts and your logic.

Now get your ass back to taxes. Just kidding. Keep it up boy.

So, the other day I found myself in the nicotine line at Walmart.

No. It wasn't to buy that cancerous shit. I needed to stock up on some Smokey Mountain Snuff (still waiting for when Hooch is sold in stores). It's January, and my stress level is rising. Fast.

It also helps that I have baseball registrations going on. I've still got scout stuff. I'm writing like gangbusters over at scaretissue.com (Scaretissue is Chewie's and Pip's horror site that gives me an outlet on all these films I've watched since I was little. If you're a horror fan, check it out.). Tax season is just around the corner, and Saturdays and Sundays at the office start now. There's some funk here in the 900s that's odd (input anybody? Heard from another Basterd that he is in the same place.) It also helps that things just haven't been that peachy lately at home. I have a good friend that is going through a divorce so I'm trying to be patient, but it's amazing how somebody else's failed relationship affects your own.

Anyways, my jaw has been hurting and I just can't chew another piece of gum. In order for me to stay proactive in my quit, I am planning ahead JUST IN CASE I NEED IT. I bought 3 cans. I opened one, but there is no guarantee I'll ever open the others. One will sit in my desk, and one will sit in my car. I've consolidated my gum supply (away from my 9 year old's hands), and I'll be getting a bag of salt and pepper sunflower seeds later today.

Most importantly, I posted roll today. The past means shit if I fail today, and all my badassness would mean nothing. All my words would be empty. I got a couple newbies I've texted today, and I'm pursuing my quit.


When you quit, it's not just enough to talk the talk. I've said so many words here and doled out so much advice I'd be silly not to follow my own: Prepare to be quit, and you'll be quit.

Well, I'm ready to walk this fucking walk. Bring it on.

Good job staying strong WP...

Your words ring true to me... I have struggled with this nic bitch in the past (failed quit 6 years ago around day 280).

Keep on your toes... the nic bitch is sneaky!

I appreciate you backing me in this shit, and I have your back too man. We can do this.

[Grizzly25]

There's some funk here in the 900s that's odd (input anybody?Ã,  Heard from another Basterd that he is in the same place.)

Yes. Kind of up and down till the comma hit.

Good news though. It goes away just like it always does! 'winker'

soup fellas,


I remember hitting that right around the comma. Haven't felt one since

That stinking nic bitch is a patient dirty cheating bitch!!!

I have been cruising for sometime now constantly having dip dreams now I see your saying its still happening at over 900!!!!!

Smokey Mountain has been my best defense aand I usually never even have any except like once a month if that but the idea that its in my car or in my office is always reassuring!

Stay strong my brother!!!

Just a little while ago reading this from such a monster quitter would have scared me. But for some reason this just pumps me up to see someone with a full quit toolbox putting it to good use. Whats the use of learning to quit if we don't get to use the tools. The point is, is that I can stay quit as long as I use all the tools that are being learned here. Thanks Wastepanel!

This helps to remind me that this isn't a 100 or even a 1,000 day battle. It is a 1 day battle. Everyday.

Thanks for posting, WP.

PS: I've been in the Smoky Mountain lines myself.

There's no need to be scared. I'm an addict that is winning.

The day I forget that is the day she finally lands a body shot in this quit. Always be quitting.

No. It wasn't to buy that cancerous shit. I needed to stock up on some Smokey Mountain Snuff (still waiting for when Hooch is sold in stores). It's January, and my stress level is rising. Fast.

It also helps that I have baseball registrations going on. I've still got scout stuff. I'm writing like gangbusters over at scaretissue.com (Scaretissue is Chewie's and Pip's horror site that gives me an outlet on all these films I've watched since I was little. If you're a horror fan, check it out.). Tax season is just around the corner, and Saturdays and Sundays at the office start now. There's some funk here in the 900s that's odd (input anybody? Heard from another Basterd that he is in the same place.) It also helps that things just haven't been that peachy lately at home. I have a good friend that is going through a divorce so I'm trying to be patient, but it's amazing how somebody else's failed relationship affects your own.

Anyways, my jaw has been hurting and I just can't chew another piece of gum. In order for me to stay proactive in my quit, I am planning ahead JUST IN CASE I NEED IT. I bought 3 cans. I opened one, but there is no guarantee I'll ever open the others. One will sit in my desk, and one will sit in my car. I've consolidated my gum supply (away from my 9 year old's hands), and I'll be getting a bag of salt and pepper sunflower seeds later today.

Most importantly, I posted roll today. The past means shit if I fail today, and all my badassness would mean nothing. All my words would be empty. I got a couple newbies I've texted today, and I'm pursuing my quit.


When you quit, it's not just enough to talk the talk. I've said so many words here and doled out so much advice I'd be silly not to follow my own: Prepare to be quit, and you'll be quit.

Well, I'm ready to walk this fucking walk. Bring it on.

Just a little while ago reading this from such a monster quitter would have scared me. But for some reason this just pumps me up to see someone with a full quit toolbox putting it to good use. Whats the use of learning to quit if we don't get to use the tools. The point is, is that I can stay quit as long as I use all the tools that are being learned here. Thanks Wastepanel!

'BanDog'

The fuck?

'crackup'

Haha!!!

Coach's way of spreading 'cheer'

When did he start calling herpes "cheer"?

I try to figure out which banana the coach is?????

Just hope the 'cheer' is cleaned up when they are done and not left laying (or is it lying, well both fit) around.

Damnit.

Why do I always have to sleep in the 'cheer' spot?
