Shit.

Thanks for pointing that out, Steak.  Made it to day 5, and not feeling too bad.  I am worried about this weekend though.  I'm heading out to a campout with my kids.  Indian Guides.  Super fun, but really a great place to dip.

I'm a hider, so since nobody knows I dipped, nobody is gonna know I'm not.  But for the mind games, I was thinking of getting some fake stuff.  Lippazaner hooked me up with a place in San Diego, so I'm heading out there when I get a break.  They sell Hooch at this place.  I ordered some pouches from Smokey Mountain, since they will maybe be close to the feel and taste of the snus I was dippin.

I'm sure there are many opinions about substitute use/not use, but I know I'll probably get a little squirrely if I don't try to bring something.  There won't be any reception out there so I'll be totally off the grid.  I won't have the forum, roll call, etc.  But I'll be back Sunday and let you know!

I ain't no doctor......but there are very few places that you can't get a cell signal. All you have to do is call/sext in your promise and someone will post you up. I'll send you my # via pm. Hell, get one of your guides to send a smoke signal and surely it will be seen by one of the many quitters in SoCal. Unless they're real "Indians" then you can still eat curry and have them rickshaw you into to town to make a call.

My Question: what are you willing to do to protect your quit?

*warning* if you text me, be prepared for full frontal, shorn scrotum, throbbing, no bull shit quitting.

How the hell do you follow that last sentence!?

Do me a favor. Read this blurb from your intro post:

Love the stuff. First thing in the morning with coffee, last thing before bed. I used to think it was a badge of honor, or that I felt like a man because I did this stuff and really nobody even knew I was doing it. Well, same goes for my quit I suppose. I mean, if nobody knows I'm walking around with a fatty in all day, how can they sympathize with me when I'm quitting?


Now re-read what you just posted today:

Fuck tapering off. Although my first almost cave was when my inner addict tried to convince me to go back onto it and do some better planning. At this point, it already feels good to feel lousy, so im sticking to it.

I dropped by the store that ordered in a roll a week for me. I just felt bad leavin them hanging. So I went in and fired them. Told them I didn't need another shipment, and when he asked when I'd be needing one and I told him I'm done wittit.

That's how I'm closing out day 3.

Thanks for the support guys. Helps mor than you know...well, I doubt that. Helps as much as you know it does!!


This, my friend, is how you own your quit. This is inspiring. Do you even recognize the person who wrote the Day 1 post? I don't.

Don't matter if you're day 3 or day 3000; live it, breath it, own it. Never Again For Any Reason.

The world was my supplier and I to it to fuck off. 'Finger'

That's how you quit, straight up. I also fired my suppliers. Told them all never to sell me any of that crap again.

It does feel good to do that. Walked into a gas station I frequent the other day and they know what can I (used to) buy. The clerk asked "how many" as she reached for them.

I said "none. I quit. It's been two weeks."

Actually got a congrats from them.

Keep fighting the good fight.

Bravo, Doc...Bravo!

Well done DD!! Tell the store to order you a log of Smokey Mtn if they want to keep your business!!! Day 3 is the hardest, I think...all the nic will be out of you tomorrow and you will most likely enter the "fog."

When the fog comes, pound water, hit the gym, take a walk, punch a wall, use this site to get your rage on.

ODAAT you will gain your freedom. Embrace the suck, you never have to go through this again. Don't forget what you've gone through.

Proud to quit with you today.

Hey Doc...Welcome, welcome, welcome. You clawed through the fog and posted roll. I remember that day well. Keep it up!!! I t is very important to realize that the way we are successful, cold turkey, is why we are successful. Tapering off just will never work. You are going to quit by getting that shit out of your brain asap. It gets so much better, almost fun...trust me. Hang in there, please. dunwit

[Vlntrs98]

It will get much better!!! Day 5 here and its still a little tough. Went to the dentist for a first time in a while today to celebrate more or less.......25 years I have been with cope and I am proud to say that after 5 day quit my dentist says no signs of cancer or abnormalities beside some huge gum loss. But that's my own damn fault for dipping this poison every day and swallowing the juice everyday for the past 14 years at least. We can all make it through this!!! Good Quit Doc!!! I am in your June group!!! Lets quit together!!

Thanks for the support, homies.  I don't know what made me decide to just stop.  I need to clarify an earlier post, since it has been mentioned.  When I said "I love the stuff", I wasn't being accurate. 

I think I liked it at first.  Discovered it while playing High School Ball.  New school, new kid, dip was a way to connect.  I didn't really habitize it until college, and even by then I was hiding it.  It's not a real popular social stigma it has in So Cal.  It's even been hard to locate my brand at many times.  I went in and out of cigs/dip, but the dip was always my favorite. 

By the time I got to Dental School, there were a few of us dippers, and man we would hang together for sure.  At the time I think I was still getting a buzz or an energy kick out of it, so it came in handy when studying, etc.

But the most interesting part of it, for me, was the hiding...the secret...the GAME.   Shit, it was awesome. 

Anyway, I became consciously aware of the length of time, and frequency I was using the stuff.  But I never gave any serious thought to quitting.  Bandits, pouches, then Snus made me feel more comfortable with it, because with the Snus, man I didn't even need to carry the tin around.  I could throw a few in my shirt pocket and I was good to go.  The stuff was pasturized, had lower nic content, and was basically dry, so there wasn't spit, and there really was no mess.

Now I'm outta control.  All day, every day, found a local liquor store to order it in by the log.  Haven't run out in years.  I got the whole thing planned. And it's all a big secret.  To everyone.

So, back to day 3.  I tried to post roll.  I'll go check if it worked.  I felt so terrible last night I started thinking, maybe I should go back and just taper off a bit instead of going from full bore to nothing.  Then I thought of the group and said, shit, I've been thru some of the hell already, I'm sticking it out.

And I am.  One hour at a time.

Its gonna get better. It has to get better. It WILL get better. Just keep on quitting and soon the NB will be tired of tempting you and move on but be very aware, she will be back and try, try again. If you have the attitude to quit you will do it. You are in for some rough days but if you cave now you will have to go through the whole damn thing again. It is not worth it. I enjoyed dipping at first then I grew to HATE it, then I found this site and I quit just like that. Glad to be quit with you. ODAAT

here's a great tip - stop romancing an addiction like some lost lover .. the shit was going to do you bodily harm if not kill you

Dive into the deep end of the KTC pool and guzzle the kool aid -

Reach out and build a quit support and write out a quit plan for those oh shit scenarios
