Day #5 and the mornings have been harder than the evenings for me, once I get past lunch IÂ’m on the home stretch. This morning was different, I felt no cravings or urges, I just feel great!

Conclusion of day 3.

I feel really good, the afternoon and eveningÂ’s are coming very easy for me.

The mornings are my crucible, but thatÂ’s why I rage on here. A few of those, pop a couple of drops of Black Pepper Oil under my tongue and IÂ’m surviving the mornings.

Guys/Gals, the hate is so strong in me about dip, the more IÂ’m seeing how much it took from me the more fired up I get.

I know some of you are struggling and I understand and empathize with you, but IÂ’ve done this quit for one person only and I truly believe thatÂ’s why IÂ’m not struggling with this. IÂ’m thriving from this, IÂ’m seeing all kinds of stuff I never saw before.
Nice post!

One day at a time, life gets better and so much easier.

Day 3, feeling great this morning, IÂ’m sleeping like a rock at night, havenÂ’t gone to bed this early in years. Waking up before sunrise is cool, but not necessary ?.

I can’t believe the amount of time I have now, I NEVER would have thought about how much time I put into dip. Not once would this have crossed my mind as a reason to stop dipping, but I have so much more time in the day now. Hell its 615am here and I’m done with everything I “used” to do in the morning.

The freedom from dip is so intoxicating, itÂ’s now such a driving force for me.

Keep fighting! Odaat! ThatÂ’s how we all have made it to where we are now. Stay focused, read everything you can on here. Get you some fake dip, it can save your ass. Hopefully you have numbers, several already. The reading helps. Go start a conversation in your group, remember most of the guys and gals are going through same thing you are. Man thing to remember, youÂ’re in charge and only you can stick that shit in your mouth again. If someone holds you down and pours it in your mouth or the wind blows iit in your mouth when someone opens their can let us know. WeÂ’ve heard those before. Damn proud to quit with you today!

I watch this episode of 60 minutes at least once per year, I think he is brilliant. Pay attention to what the team is saying right after they cut from the intro and theyÂ’re about to take the field. What they are saying is the absolute roadmap that I have taken going into this, and for every day I face. Saban is right, the mindset has to be there.

I LOVE this intro. You know why? Because, Vegas, you have learned early on something so incredibly important: brother, you have to learn to HATE this shit. Hate it for everything it has taken from you. Hate it for everything it wants to take from you. Hate it for materially REWIRING your BRAIN and rendering you its bitch. This poison has literally changed the composition of your brain. Think about that for a moment. It has high jacked your brain and it wants you on your knees. Seriously, outside of dip...would you allow ANYTHING else to do that to you??? I'll go out on a limb and answer that: Hell no.

I always urge everyone early on in their quit to read as much as they can about nicotine and the addiction process. Because once you understand how nicotine has affected you physically (i.e., really see it cold and clinically), the easier it is to hate. The more you hate it, the easier it is to stay QUIT. So much easier. Go toFacts  Figures section of KTC and read and read and read. Hate it. Keep hating it. Don't allow yourself to romanticize all the "good times" because those "good times" were a pack of lies.

I really want to thank you - because reading your intro has totally reinvigorated my quit. PM me for digits if you want more accountability.

Hell yeah, thanks FLLip! It has rewired my brain. I do hate this shit, for everything you said and more!

IÂ’m not doing fake dip or seeds, no offense to anyone but it is my personal opinion. I know I look like a total asshole douche bag when IÂ’m driving around or working and SPITTING into a plastic water bottle. How stupid looking is that? And I donÂ’t want to do that with fake dip or seeds, then it back to the nicotine still owning me! I have to still spit into a water bottle spitter? Fucking sounds miserable, and it looks disgusting! All because of dipping. No sir, IÂ’m done looking like an asshole.

Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

Nice job BubbaM, thanks man, IÂ’m looking forward to feeling much better.

Yes, it really does consume your life. It constrains so many things you do, and I didnÂ’t even realize some of them. There was a guy on here talking about how he drove through a drive-thru to buy a cup of soda just to pour it out to spit in the empty cup! IÂ’ve fucking been there!! What kind of maniac does that?!?!...me. What an asshole.

This forum is helping me a lot, IÂ’ve written something every time I get a craving, and itÂ’s helping me deal with this really well.
I swear I can feel the blood “searching” for the nicotine as it flows through my body. It goes in waves through different parts of my body. Kind of eerie but cool as well.

I feel completely worthless man, I couldnÂ’t be held accountable for anything this evening, zero energy. IÂ’m starting to see what freedomÂ’s IÂ’ve striped myself of. Going to sleep at a decent hour hasnÂ’t happened in years! IÂ’m only a day deep. Progress. Jump from activity to activity.
Worthless, oh man, you are fighting a massive fight right now. You are winning too. Mindset is a very key part of this battle, so every time you start to feel down or lost, remember... you are winning at something that only the most bad ass people can win at.

I'll be in Vegas in a few weeks. Maybe I can buy you a drink when I'm there to celebrate your freedom?

Enjoy the winning brother. No pain, no gain. Lots and lots and lots of gain ahead... you won't believe how much life you will be gaining as a result of quitting.

Michael/worktowin
Oh brother the fight is real today, IÂ’m only focused on today though, I tried looking down the road a little bit earlier today and I got caught thinking about dip. I just want to get through today, and go to sleep tonight, thatÂ’s all I have the capacity for. Just today, get me through to dinner time, then bedtime and IÂ’m zeroing on that.

This site is HUGE for coming here right when the craving or a habit kicks on. Like right now after lunch you fuckers know what I mean?
