Love that statement! I hate nicotine too. I hate, hate, hate this evil terrorist empire! That being said I have two thoughts. You don't feel worthy to be giving advice? I call bull shit. We quit daily here. You have been a man of your word for over a month. You are undefeated with nicotine in your fight. If you can post roll and be a man of your word...You are worthy to post comments, advise, rage, call for back up. Whatever it is, you quit today and you are worthy to participate. One of my biggest mistakes was viewing KTC as a hospital. Once I got better, I would have to leave and go into the real world. Addiction is a disease that I compare to diabetes. There isn't a cure but treatments will help you live a good long life. KTC is my daily treatment. I come and post roll and promise. Crutches - already got great advice on that. Just participate more on the site and it will keep you going strong. |

I don't want to hear you say you "don't feel worthy" to post around on here. What you just described, your feelings with the bond created through the site with srans and others on here is what it is ALL about. Yeah we fight and argue but you sir are worthy. You've developed relationships, posting roll and probably have that feeling inside that although it is your quit, something larger then you is holding you accountable everyday... Same as said before I got rid of the fake stuff around day 40 or so, I don't use seeds or gum or anything anymore. I still battled it right up until the 80s. As long as you aren't putting the nic back in your mouth then take your time and work at your pace with coming off the fake. We won't force you to join Killtheseeds.org |

Great advice Thomas. Love the medical analogies. I'll take my "insulin" against this addiction every day with my daily dose of promise to quit! |

I told my 12-year-old son yesterday about my quit. He knew I chewed but don't think he had any idea how much. I was good at hiding it from everyone but he is pretty observant. Part of my quit strategy, if you will, is to be open about my quit and not hide the fact that I'm using substitutes. I figure the more people that know I'm quitting, the more accountable I am. Since most of them didn't even know I chewed every minute of every day around them, it is liberating sometimes to tell them. Anyway, I wanted my son to know that the smokey mountain isn't tobacco and why I was using it. As I discussed my quit with him I saw him getting choked up a couple of times. He is very smart, sensitive and caring. I mainly wanted to share with him how evil and stupid nicotine is and how much I regret using it. I know I can't keep him from making stupid decisions but I hope by sharing with him that his old man, who he still thinks is kinda cool, is having to battle with this awful addiction might make a lasting impression when some dikhole kid offers him a chew or smoke. Don't know if I did a good thing or not but I'm tired of hiding from everyone and I don't want to make my son think that chewing is cool. |

Don't usually remember my dreams but had a cave dream last night. Actually the dream was all about me fucking up...at work, with family, my addiction. Damn, I beat myself up enough when I'm awake. Now I gotta do it in my sleep. |

I rarely remember any dreams either. Fortunately for me I have yet to have a "cave" dream. I am dreading that night. Hopefully it never happens. |

Those dreams will come and go. I've had 3 vivid ones that I can remember. And I always wake up shaking and thinking...whew...that was only a dream. I have a theory that cave dreams (or addiction dreams of any kind), are the mind's way of gradually exorcising the demons that have been plaguing us. So those dip dreams may actually be a sign of us getting better at managing our addictions! (And I'm not a doctor, and don't even play one on TV!) :-) |

EXACTLY! That's what I did. Mainly because the girl behind the counter would run off when I bought one. But the change for 2 packs paid with a $20 was, wait for it...$6.66! |
