Kick that Bear's Ass!!
Day 3 - Alright its on. Walked into the usual gas station to pick up some gum and sunflower seeds and clerk set out a Kodiak for me. Almost lost it right there. What the fuck. Ran out of there like a pussy. I can't believe I almost caved. KC Bronco and n2chukar - You guys are great. Thanks for the advice. For now I'll just focus on kicking that Bear's ass one day at a time. Take care and stay quit.
Just my .02 here. I completely changed up my morning routine as far as the normal stop for coffee and the can. For me it was the start of the reprogramming process, get out of auto-pilot mode and use your fucking brain idiot (talking to myself). I now go to 3 different c-stores rotating throughout the week and nobody knows me from steve. No cashiers put any tins on the counter so that completely eliminated that possible trigger. Good job on staying quit brother. QLF today
Yep, you gotta change it up. I posted in another intro about that very same thing this morning. You can't avoid everything though, so you gotta be prepared. That's where the plan comes in. Get plenty of numbers of other quitters. New quitters, seasoned quitters, and vets. Reach out to these folks. Don't just get the numbers..... use them. Text these folks. Call them up. That way, when you hit a wall, you won't hesitate to use them as a life line. My brothers and sisters here have saved my quit several times. If we aren't prepared for the bumps in the road, we will fail.

You are off and running. Find something to chew or suck on. Strawberry gum and Dill Pickle seeds were my fix. I never liked the fake shit to be honest....but many Quiters leaned on it and it's approved. I tried it but the shit is like $3.50 a can...and I always took big chews so you get like 3 dips a can. Fuck that! I'm trying to save some money too. But if it keeps the nic bitch out I support it. Coincidently I always drank diet Dr. Pepper and dipped at work. I just realized I haven't had diet soda for 91 days either. :D
Have a good one. Kick that Bear's Ass!!

KC Bronco, Thanks for the encouragement. Just posted my first roll. For now on I'm just going to keep your words in mind each morning. I will not fucking dip today. Keep it up.
Hey this KC Bronco Cat is the real deal -- be ready for a battle that pussies cannot win.... I'm on day 16 and I've had some great days, check that, unbelievable days -- but then the world comes crashing down. DON'T FRICKING cave for ANY reason -- man up, don't be a pussy and stay quit.

When your pissed, chew all of us dipshits out on this board -- I've done it a couple of times, like the old rubber rooms where crazy ass people can just beat the shit out of the room and themselves. Use this as your cyber, rubber room where you can verbally berate these bad ass veterans. They will take all you have and encourage you. Word of warning -- don't cave or you will get some bigtime shit for being a pussy. None of us that are quit take kindly to pussies taking the easy way out when we are daily on the front lines.

Proud of you -- stay solid.

Hey there Kodiak! I'm 9 days away from Day 100. 91 straight days without the can. This is coming from a chewing degenerate....maybe junkie is better? Anyway...I really like your attitude. You have said all of the right things. For 91 straight days I have said "I will not fucking dip today". It's messed up. Some people say the first 5 days are the hardest. I say bull shit. The hardest are like day 62. I'm just kicking the cans ass and all of a sudden I want a dip so bad. The nic bitch just whispering sweet nothings in my ear. "Hmmmm....bacon and eggs. A nice big Kodiak will be amazing after your breakfast".

Just giving you a warning. You can do this thing man. If I can do it YOU can do it. I dipped almost 25 years.

Quit with me today. I just bought myself a 52 inch plasma TV. Which is better?? A can and 1/2 of Kodiak a day....or the fat ass TV hanging on my wall in the basement?? They cost the same...

Find your group and post roll. You can do it buddy! KC Bronco

Hello all. I'll start off by saying I have thought about this for a while. On 2/27/2013 at 2:04PM I heaved a full can of Kodiak out into the river. I started this addiction when I was 21 and here I am 12 years later. There have been times that I stopped using Kodiak, but not once did I quit. I have lied to myself - i'm not addicted to nicotine, i can quit anytime. Bullshit. I have lied to my wife. She has busted me so many times and each time I come up with a lame excuse. Talk about being a douchebag.

After lurking around this website I finally understand that my commitment to quit is based on making the right choice one day at a time. I made that choice yesterday at 2:04PM. I made the choice to stay quit this morning. Here I am 25 hours later and I have not dipped. A little irritable, but I'm not turning back. Now, I just need to figure out the whole roll call thing.
