New August Quitter

[Wt57]

Where in the Hell are you at recruit23. Traumagnet and I r looking for your missing ass. Anyone got recruits number? If so call him immediately ask him what is going on.

I text him erussell. No reply. I think he may be living it up in canville. Maybe he'll want to move out for good one day. I know canville looks promising because it makes you believe it is. All i can say is living there sucks. Living there, you might as well be in jail. Your told when to eat, sleep and wake. Worst of all canville controls your emotions. Tells you how happy and sad you can be. It also tells you how to act. Your life expectancy is not as long there also. It promises a long and slow death. Its not cheap either. Wish i had all that money back.

I'm so glad i moved. Freedom is so nice.

Canville is full of a bunch of lying dirty whores! Nic bitch rules the town and Sucks the life out of everyone! Fuck canville.................

Recruit logged on last night but no post so I suspect your right that he's spending the long weekend in canville.

But your still here, and your still quit. And guess what thatÃ,’s not the last time your mind is going to try to trick you into poisoning it just one more time. You see we have all sort of developed a multiple personality. ThereÃ,’s us and then thereÃ,’s Dipper. Mr. Dipper is pissed at the real you, he has been allowed to be the one in charge for a while now and you have come back out of repression and said no! I am the personality that is running this show! This is a mind game that will last us awhile (possibly our entire lives). But as many of the bad ass quitters I read on here say we are addicts, we donÃ,’t have to be slaves. And with each time our real personality denies Mr Dipper he gets a little weaker making it a little easier for us to say no. It gets easier Bro.

You asked what will help though, not why it is happening lmao, so a tool for you when Dipper comes to your door, remember you posted your promise, maybe tomorrow, but youÃ,’ve already promised not today, you gave your word to all of us and you better damn well mean it! tis why Erussell post roll early as hell, in case dipper comes a knocking before roster crows!!!!!

I quit with you man!

[traumagnet]

this is what Bean said to me early in my quit....

Remember to turn the tables on the Nic Bitch. Conciously decide that you will enjoy the withdrawal symptoms...they are the feeling of healing. When you get a particularly strong crave, or you're about the rip the head off someone for saying something horrible to you like, "Good morning, Trauma." Just smile and casually ask the Nic Bitch, "Is that the best you got?"

Embrace the withdrawal syptoms...remember them...
pm me if you need some digits

Doing great man! Nicotine is working its way out of your system now. It is fighting you hard and filling your mind with confused romantic memories of tobacco. Romantic thoughts should be reserved for that fiancé of yours, not an expensive cancer causing plant. Give it a few more days and I bet the love turns to rage. In the meantime, your only requirement for all of us is to post roll first thing in the morning and continue to be a man of your word. So far, so good. See you tomorrow!

yo recruit...keep up the good work. One thing i would advise, and the only reason is that i did these things, is i would start every morning a little differently then you did when you dipped. Like there was no way i would run with a dip in my mouth so i get up and run some. I change the path every time. Golf was always kind of a trigger for me so one morning i got up and went to the driving range before work...hitting a bunch of balls at a fairly quick pace will increase your heart rate a bit and clear out the fog...it also will start to eliminate the correlation of the two.

Anyhow, those are my 2 cents...quit on brother...btfu

Whats up guys,

Thought I would put in an entry because my Day 2 was not easy and wanted to spill out some shit that went through my head.

I had a pretty big craving for a good portion of the afternoon after lunch yesterday. This was expected because that was a time everyday when I would have a lip. Anyways, I got through that and made it home feeling really good. I could feel the crave subside and I was very clear minded thinking about how I got this and that I could go this.

But then, around 7-8 o'clock, I started to seriously wonder why I even wanted to quit. I was telling myself how I enjoyed doing it, it was a nice stress reliever, I had figured out a way to pretty much do it at any time, in front of anyone and have no one realize, it was something to do when I was bored and it passed the time. I had also been thinking about how I was so much younger, and have dipped for so much less time than most of the people I have been reading about on this site. So whats another couple years when I am not even at the decade point.

So I started looking up what one lip would do to my quit. I found the law of addiction and how it would restart the clock the instant i put that shit in. Somehow, that first thought started a whirlwind of clear thoughts.

I remembered that the reason I wanted to quit was because it was making me less social than I wanted to be. I wanted to quit weighing secretly in my head if I wanted to go out and do something or if I would rather just stay in and dip on the couch (too often, the latter won). I remembered that I have a wedding coming up and will be damned if I am going to miss out on any of the planning, engagement parties, reception, honeymoon, etc because I snuck off to have a lip.

I remembered that I wanted to be free of the constant thought of the tin in my head, did i have enough for the day at work? weekend? vacation? should I dip now or wait a little while to get the most out of it, even though I will be doing it again in an hour or so? Are all my spitters, tins, spit cleaned up and put away in a safe enough spot so I wont get caught? Can anyone tell that I have this lip in? my boss? my friends? How can i sneak away so that I can get a 20 min sesh in without missing anything or, more importantly, have anyone notice?

Anyways, I have rambled, but I wanted to put it out there for comments and for anyone that has, is, or will go through the same type of thoughts, which I am sure is just about everyone on this site at some point.

My craving tried to blind me from my goals and the reasons that I am quitting. I would be lying if I told you I didnt come close to giving in. But, my head cleared and I was able to see the craving for what it really was, an attempt to hit me while I was weak and to push me back to the shit. When you are faced with the same questions and doubt of why your putting yourself through this shit, remember what you thought about before you quit, when you head was clear. Might be a good idea to write that shit down so you can pull it out later, when the craving prevents you from seeing it.

I am proud to say that I made it through that night and I am still quit. I have a face full of seeds (btw, the flamas flavor of frito lays seeds gives you a burn which is pretty great) and not of dip. I am 6 hours from hitting that 72 hour marker and having the nic out of my system. I know I am no where near done at that point, but I will take the milestone.

Awesome thoughts Kevin. Good job getting this into your intro. One point that helps me with the mind games is remembering that I really did not "enjoy" dip and dip only relieved the stress that it created in the first place. Nicotine is a big fucking lie. It makes you think you enjoy it but you really enjoy relief from the withdrawals that it created. As a drug addict, your drug tells you how much you need it. Its just a lie. The longer the time since your last "fix", the easier it is to ignore the lie. It is a bit of an emotional roller coaster along the way, but it eventually gets so much easier. You just keep doing that one day at a time thing and don't give into the lie. Never again, for any reason, not once.

Kevin, I sent you my phone number yesterday. Check your inbox. Were both on the West Coast, you can text me or call me if you need to. You need to turn to the support groups so you don't fight alone.

Other than that keep quitting. I quit with you again today.

I would have to second MM and Srans. I thought taking it easy was the plan. It was miserable. It will be tough as you will be unfocused but do stay busy and have it planned busy if you can.

[srans]

48 hours in. Definitely got some withdrawal. Eating seeds, using fake pouches and tea bags like crazy, but its not the shit. I'd be lying if I said it didnt cross my mind as I drove by my 7-11 to stop in, but I didn't.

I am quit today.

Been thinking about this weekend and what I am going to do with myself to keep me quit. Anyone got suggestions?

start a project! If you like to build something, build. If you like to beat video games/ play. Whatever you like to do, do it. Set a goal and achieve it. Last weekend, I grabbed a can of fake chew and set out for lowes to buy $150 worth of lumber and supplies, took me all weekend to finish but I enjoyed my fake chew and was very satisfied when I was done.

The thing not to do: Is plan to do nothing or take a weekend to relax. This is not that weekend, that weekend can come later. Idle hands and mind is very bad and only makes it worse. Keep yourself balls to the walls from sun up until sundown.

That's some seriously good advice mollies. Recruit this weekend is going to be rough. The only time your not going to think about dip is when your sleeping, which might not go to well either. Exchange some phone #s. When the going gets tough reach out. Let this site help you. I'm going to send you my number. It will be in you're inbox.

When the going gets tough remember, ,,, it gets so much better. One day at a time,,, you got this. Quitting is the best thing i ever did. I quit with you today.
