31 days and going strong....man didn't think i would get past the first 3 weeks but now it is relatively smooth sailing. I fully expect more bumps in the road but for now, feeling good, and happy to say goodbye to chewing. Thanks to everyone for the support. Couldn't have done it without this site and all of you.....here is to 31 more.
Congrats on your Quit.
Noticed the other guys posts.... what's the deal?
We understand that not everyone can actively participate in all the forums every day.
However, the foundation of this site is to post roll every day and make a commitment to yourself and to the rest of us that you will not dip for that day.

What is your situation that causes this not to happen????????

WOW....you guys are awesome...RWM....thank you for that, it was the cold splash i needed today, I am officially ONE WEEK today that I quit for good and it has been a real bitch of a day. The novelty of quitting has worn off....that was day 1....the gum and seeds have been great but again wearing thin.....I have never had so many dill pickle sunflower seeds in my LIFE. I searched and found some "bacc off" dip replacement and that helped a ton. My hunting life revolved around me chewing and I have sacrificed that so far this year which is KILLING me because I didn't want to be tempted to chew. Now with this alternative, i am PUMPED to get into the woods.

RWM your words rang true to me and I tell that to all my employees and companies I work with and I was stupid to say TRY....this isn't a try, we aren't going to TRY this, if that were the case I would have been done with this day 1.5. I am a quitter....in a good way.

Deez Nutz....steel sharpens steel and we are now a week in....keep at it and keep the seeds, gum or whatever it takes...except chew going.

I haven't checked back too often but now I will do so daily and let you all know.

Thanks for the support and RWM......Deez Nutz.....congratulations on quitting this for good. Way to go.

Well I have tried this before and without long term success. I have never found this site though and I am hoping this will do the trick with the help and support of all of you. I had my last chew Monday night the 20th of September 8:22 pm. I am not on day 3 and this is miserable but achievable. I have support of my wife, this community and I plan to quickly be strong enough to support others. I was certainly one of "those guys" who was never addicted....could quit whenever.....yeah right. That was 10 years ago. I have led board meetings with many high end people and no one knew.....does that sound addicted......NAHH not me.....yeah "throw the BS flag", I am addicted and now I am doing something about it.

Just wanted to introduce myself. Here is to banging my head against the wall 'bang head' feeling foggy and fighting my way through it.

For all those on the fence of quitting....DO IT....not tomorrow, not later.....right now, it is a bitch and will be, but what has come easy in life.....NOTHING.....do it....NOW.
When I read your post it seems that I am reading my own story. right down to today being day three! To me it seems that the more I read and the more I post on here the less my craves are! And judging by the 50 seeds stuffed into my cheeck right now, I might be here for awile haha, Keep at it !!!

Welcome Wardo- I'm sure you've been reading posts, if not do as much reading on this site as possible. First you will find that there are a few demands:

1) no nic - none
2) post up everyday and keep your word
3) remove the word try from your quit. - we don't try - we do

Sounds like your making your way thru the fog. Do you have stuff to handle the carves? candy, gum, water, seeds, fake stuff - if not get it fast. You got support at home, that's great. NOW keep in mind that you will be an a__hole for awhile, your job is to focus that rage on exercise, venting on this site, working in the yard, and NEVER on family, friends, or work.

Don't worry about supporting others yet, focus on your quit. Be a quit by example leader. You post up, you keep your word, you work thru the fog, rage, craves and fight one day at a time. Others with draw energy from that.

Welcome to the quit, PM me if you need a number. I broke a 30 year stupid habbit of dipping and hit the HOF a few days ago. It's great once you build up some distance.

As you said, you are an addict, so you can't have one more dip, one more can - ever. One taste of it and you will be sucked back in. Knowledge is power and this site has a lot we can use to fight the nic bitch.


Quit on, Quit Strong
