Thank you Ginet. I appreciate your time. Perhaps I'm fooling myself in some way, but I expect today to go easier, since I have to work all day at my 2nd job. I will be busy, and have found the cravings less during this work during past attempts. I also got my Bacc-Off pouches today. Hopefully they begin to taste better after repeated use. I better get ready for work. Fuck. It's cold outside! According to the weather app it's 31°F now. I hope my last couple garden plants made it overnight. I hate cold weather! |

I hate cold weather too and backoff does taste like shit. But - I'd hate having my jaw cut off or my life ending in a painful battle with cancer, so let's say cold weather is cool and backoff can taste like shit because we do whatever it takes to keep that shit our of our mouths! Perspective - it will come to you....one day.....it will creep in and you will feel so much better. Keep quitting like a girl! Check your messages. |

I had a surprisingly good day today. Either my first roll call made that big of a difference, or I was too busy at work to think of anything else, or a combination of both. The BaccOff pouches were a fair fake. I will get used to the taste. It doesn't matter to me why. I'm glad I survived. I wish the best for all. I have a feeling tomorrow will be different, since I have no customers scheduled. Thanks all. |

Like your quote of Stephen Covey in your signature Ginet. I read his most popular book in college, and kept it to reread later in my career "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People".

Had a tough evening. I am visiting family in WA State this week. We all went to a casino, where we had drinks, and they had a tariff-free nicotine shop. I didn't cave. Can't say I didn't think about it. |

Doesn't matter how cheap it is, it will still remove your jaw someday. Keep winning those little battles! Quit with you today! |

I agree with Southpaw. However, as an addict, I would have paid ten bucks a can if prices were such. FU nicotine. I'm keeping my jaw. I'm keeping my life. I'm keeping my money. I'm keeping my word, and I'm keeping my quit. |

Keep a journal of all these wins, write about every struggle because when you get further along in your quit and the "easy days" come you will need the grim reminders to help your addict brain remember why you are quit. Drinking lots of water helps, exercise is a good outlet and remember to prepare for triggers. Consumption of alcohol is a trigger, I like to drink myself but I have to be prepared mentally before getting at it. You can do this, so go quit like a girl and show all of us men how bad ass girls are. >P< |

Thanks for all the support. I have now finished my first week. I have made it this far before, though the first time I quit was for the surgeon who fused the vertebrae in my spine, and I didn't join this forum to help me out. I quit for about four months that time (three years back). This time is different. I'm quitting for me, and joining up with friends here to help out, hopefully in both directions. One question I have for experience quitters; do the craves that occur during alcohol ingestion get any easier? I hear a lot of people on here suggest staying away from drinking totally. I don't have a problem with drinking/alcoholism, and I would like to have a few drinks with friends on the weekend, or at Lambeau Field watching a Packer game. I hope the craves while drinking get less. I certainly wouldn't want to give up all drinking, and I wouldn't want to cave for such a stupid reason. |

Shelly, don't drink. You will have fun with your friends but it is not worth losing your quit over. This is a good time to tell you the following statement. I use it every time I get into a jam and really need help. "LET NOTHING GET IN THE WAY OF YOUR QUIT" I don't know you beyond this place and the few messages we've shared. I do know a one week quit though. One week is kick ass girl, but too fresh to add alcohol. |

OK. I'm nearly up to two weeks, and it feels like an eternity! The fake shit helps, but I still have major cravings. My plan is to stay quit. I agree though Ginet; alcohol really intensifies the cravings. I enjoyed my vacation last week, but I'm kind of glad that I'm back home, and no wine consumption with dinner during normal life. Commuting to work is murder though, since I have major cravings while driving. Hopefully this gets easier, and time flies past faster, unlike the last couple of weeks. The fake pouches suck too, just like the negative reviews online. They do help the cravings, but the quality of the actual pouches suck. Many of them have open ends, leaking the fake snuff out of them, and then they contaminate the rest of the pouches in the tin. I don't mind the half-empty pouches as much as the fact that I have to wipe the non-leaking pouches off before placing them in my mouth, or have black crap on my teeth. I never tried using regular tobacco, only pouches, and the quality of real pouches was much higher. Rarely did I find any leakers. OK. That's my week #2 rant. Thanks to everyone for the support here, and thanks for listening to my rants. My hubby knows I've quit, but I haven't directed any rants to him. That's probably a good thing. We have an excellent marriage, but you never know; that first quit week, we had a couple verbal spats. That's something that hasn't happened in years. After finding this board and my quit group, that hasn't happened again. Thank You! Edited by m5shelly, Oct 23 2014, 08:24 PM.

Nice job on two weeks girl! Driving was the worst for me too. I used fake up until about day 215 so don't be stressing on that. If you need that then use the hell out of it. Do what you need to in order to keep that shit out of your mouth! Chew some gum and then wad it up in your lip. Eat your breakfast on the way to work.....something else to do. It does get better. It does get easier. You just have to keep pushing and KNOW that this is the truth. Promise. |

Driving. That is one tough trigger for all of us; especially in the beginning. But lets look at a few things you've accomplished in 2 weeks of quit as it relates to driving. # Nasty spitters in the car - 0 # of times you spilled fresh dip on your pants/shirt leaving small skid marks when you wipe them away - 0 # of times you dropped a piece of wet dip upon removal on the cup holder rather than the spitter - 0 # of times you wiped your finger on the carpet underneath the driver's seat - 0 # of times you had to check your teeth for dip flecks upon leaving said car - 0 # of times you were self conscious that the person who pulled up next to you saw that big fatty in your lower lip - 0 # of times did you think how stupid you look with a fatty in your lip - 0 # of times you had to suck up the spit outside of the spit can because of missed spit overflow - 0 The list goes on and on. Pretty pathetic when you actually type it out or read it and say to yourself, "hey I did that too." Shelly, you're NOT that person today. You are quit today and tomorrow you're going to wake up and post roll just like every other day for the past 2 weeks and you're going to be quit again. Never stop investing in your quit; it is a full on investment in yourself that always pays dividends. Always. |
