Today is the day that I finally put this terrible habit into the past and focus on remaining quit and clean from the filthy poision that I continue to put into my system on daily basis. I started off with this habit when I was around 16 which now is 11 years ago, I chewed for several years then picked up smoking and then decided to "Quit smoking" and picked back up chew. Worse decision ever.
I've become so dependent on chewing due to numerous mental issues with anxiety/panic disorder ect. It makes me feel as if it helps me copes and releases the stress until the next stressor arises in my life. I know myself that it's all a bluff and that its my way of lying to myself and putting myself to ease for a short moment rather then attacking the isssue head on.
This step to giving up chew is a hard one but I feel determined now more then I have ever. I have a wife that nags me constant about it, my children are at a age now where they're are aware of what I'm doing and I don't want to set that example. But most importantly I want to prove to my self then I'm stronger then what I give credit for. Anyways sorry for rambling, I look forward to using this forum as my main tool in defeating this.

Welcome to KTC!
2 things...
1... This is no mere habit... it's an addiction. A very real one. You HAVE to understand that in order to succeed.
2... Get involved and stay involved.
The KTC way works.

QFT ^^^^^. This sounds over simplified, but it isn't. Post roll, get some other quitter's digits, and quit like fuck.

Welcome.
The only stress that nicotine relieves is the stress of not having your nicotine levels high enough.
Face the withdrawals head on. Freedom lies at the other end.
Post roll every day. Post roll as early in the morning as you can, before you leave the house.
Remember that posting roll is a promise to this community, every one of us. Keep your word. Stay quit.
I'm not a psychologist, but I'd bet your anxiety will improve after you've been quit for a while.

Making us believe that nicotine helps us in anyway, is Smokeless tobaccos and nicotine's best trick. KTC will help set you free!

Thanks guys, the triggers have started but I've been ignoring them and trying to put my attention elsewhere. No intense anxiety but a sense of fog has set it in. As things just don't seem real if that makes sense.

Ditto ^^^. The KTC way works. Post roll first thing every morning. Before you met up with the Nic Bitch first thing every morning. Kick her ass out and replace with posting roll. Like AJ said, get involved. Turn off the TV at night. Spend that time on the site reading. And yep, that fog is both real and surreal. But it goes away. Your in the right place. Youll get back what you give here. Nice job of posting your Day 1.
