Hey guys. I "wanted" to quit before but never really "wanted" it that bad if you know what I mean. Something clicked in my head when I was driving home today and stopped near a bus stop with about a dozen people smoking. Looked at them and thought "Man, what a bunch of idiots, killing themselves like that" as I grabbed my spitter. Then hit hit me. Holy shit, I'm no better. Actually, I'm worse, because I'm a hypocrite.
I got home, thought long and hard about it. Wrote myself out a list of pros/cons of quitting, the list of pros was pretty big and the cons was... well, there were no cons. Why should I keep doing something if there's no good reason at all to do it? Dumped the last of my tin in the toilet, and rounded all the shit I had laying around the house and threw it out.
I've been reading on here and some people are a fan of the fake stuff, some aren't. But I know I'm a creature of habit. I can go camping for 3 days and not dip or crave at all, but as soon as I get in my truck to go home I'd always feel like I was going to explode. It's the oral fixation for me. So I went to a health food store and bought a couple different cans of the herbal stuff. Tried Young's, Golden Eagle, and Smokey Mountain. Young's and Golden Eagle felt weird and didn't want to stay in my mouth, Smokey Mountain was the best. Tastes really good, so I'll probably buy a couple more of them and see if they help.
Anyways. Hi. Day 1 starts tomorrow, I suppose.

Welcome along for the ride Turbo. Day 2 here so I'm right there with you. You made your plan to quit today so regardless if you have dipped today, it's still day one of a new life. Tomorrow will day 1 fully off nicotine should you stick with it. Just like me. Day 2, but day 1 fully off of the stuff.
Hope all is well. Go join the December 11 quit group.
