Day 17 – been going great. Hoping my sleep pattern gets better.
Day 7.. I made it. The cravings are real. It is sad to figure out how dip consumes every aspect of my life. When the cravings get bad I always read the names with faces. They did it and so can I. Good luck everyone..
Day 6….it helps when you are around folks that don’t dip. I am blessed in that area, so I don’t think about it as much.
Day 9. Feels great. I will beat this. God did not create us for addiction. Believe we can do this. “Choose faith in spite of the addiction. New doors will open. Victory is coming our way”
Day 34 – strange feeling of having over dipped yesterday. Might have been from using a grind pouch which I’ve haven’t needed in a few days. Nic is out of my system so I’m just struggling with behavioral triggers.
Ken is that grind pouch any good? That is coffee grounds, right? Hooch is not too terrible. I need to reorder in the next couple days so I might try the Grinds as well. I think it is going to be a really long time before I get over the habit of needing something between lips and gums
I tried the three can sample pack. I’ve only gone through one can. I have two in spots where I used to go and sneak a dip (tool box and car). They don’t taste bad, as long as you like coffee. They are about the size of bandits which for me is small. If I’m having a big crave I put in two. It is much neater than when I was stuffing wet coffee grounds in my face. The odd things you do to get over a crave is interesting/scary.
I actually liked Grinds quite a bit. Reviews are here:

As for how long it takes to get off the fake stuff… don’t sweat it. I chewed the fake every day for a good 200+ days and then one day I just didn’t reach for it any more. For now, it’s a crutch… use it.
Day13. Desire still there especially the morning. Push through though. Self family and friends.
Day 18. No obstical will keep me from achieving my goal
Day 6. Still a little foggy and tired a lot but have been working 7 days for a couple weeks so might just be wore down. Still chewing the heck out of Hooch and Jalapeno sun flower seeds. Mouth starting to feel better.
