This morning I was talking to the wife, and she realized I was having some "issues". I informed her it was the lack of nicotine from dipping that my body was craving. She asked how long this new attitude would last, and I said it would be anywhere from now to 7 days, could be a little longer.
Magnum - you asked me yesterday if I had the money to buy it, would I go back?
Well, the wife looked at me and said "if it's going to give you problems - you don't have to stop ---- we can afford to get you what you want"....... I stopped, looked at her and smiled when I said "No..... I quit - and I don't want anymore".Â
I am a quitter!
Hey oz... glad you had a chance to use that in your thought process.
Try to use this little story too.
When I decided to quit my wife was against it. She wanted me to quit eventually, but we just had an 8 month old, I am in college still, and life is just fucking chaos for us in general. So when I told her I wanted to quit her reply was "well, I won't support you because I don't want to deal with your shit ass mood". She asked me to please go buy a can of chew and order some more snus.
Would that statement make you think twice about quitting? Your wife saying I WILL NOT SUPPORT YOU and PLEASE GET SOME MORE?
Well guess what...
I never thought twice about it. I am quit regardless of what she said. I made that decision and it was final. Not saying the road wasn't tough, it was hell from day one to day 14, but I had made the decision that I was done. Period. DONE
So if you ever, even once, in your quit think about caving because... "oh well, we can afford it now"... you better think about this conversation we have had.
Last, as I have said many times on here, think of everything in this world that you can NOT do without a dip in your lip... (hint, there is only one, and think before you read the next line)
That's right, the only thing you can not do without a dip in your lip is DIP.
When you are dipping it does NOTHING for you other than maintain the fact that you feel normal. It doesn't make you feel good after you are addicted. It simply makes you feel normal. Why would you make yourself a slave to something that doesn't do you any good?
That is where my line was drawn in the sand. Let me tell you, at day 88 I feel just as normal... actually even better than I did when I was a slave. Sure, I still have cravings, but a craving is just that, in 30 seconds it is gone. And I only usually get a couple a day.
