Hey guys im Pat, i am 21 year old and tomorrow will be my first day quit.
I have been chewing for almost 4 years now, i started in my senior year of high school and it really picked up when i got to college a year later. I was dong at least a tin of Grizzy wintergreen pouches a day (3 pouches at a time), now after a failed quit i am only doing two pouches at a time and much less. I tried to quit a couple months ago using nicorette but sadly i caved after about two and a half weeks. I just graduated college on May 18th and i am currently still up at school to finish two classes to obtain a Minor. I think this would be a good time to quit. All i have is two classes and no other obligations. The main concern i had was the last time i had tried to quit i had bad insomnia, i went about two whole days with no sleep and that really sent my anxiety over the edge. I tend to be a hypochondriac sometimes and most of the time i just freak myself out about stress i create myself. I feel like i will be able to deal with the cravings and irritation but i am so worried about not sleeping. I heard good things about the site and i wanted to give a brief introduction to myself and my story.

Pat - whenever I read these intros from a 21 year old I just let out a big sigh and wonder why wasn't I smart enough to find something like this when I was 21. I am now 38 and dipped for 22 years (longer than you have been alive!)
Take advantage of this site and all the resources. Read everything you can in the Welcome Center and most importantly post roll every morning.
If you're serious this site will work, but you can't come in half-assed.
I'll quit with you if you're up to it.

I have had so many "tomorrows". They have spanned over 10 years or so. Don't wait for tomorrow because I guarantee your addict brain will find a reason to change that plan and I won't see another post from you.
Check your inbox (upper right hand corner). Let me help you start now. Right now.

Good luck with that "tomorrow" concept. I hope that last can that you are savoring tonight isn't the one that causes cancer. Wouldn't that be a bitch?
-
Get on over into chat on the site here.... look towards the uppper right side from here. They will explain that we all quit "tomorrow" year after year and tomorrow never came. Like Evil_Won said, the dip you are savoring tonight could be the one that starts your cells mutating and gives you cancer. Just stop now. Guys in Chat will help you.

Tomorrow is a mind game I played with myself for decades. It's always a day away.
If you are serious.
Just do it.
Now.

If this is weighing on your mind... "tomorrow" won't make it better.
Now.
Are you gonna get in those last magical dips before tomorrow comes? How do you know that the one you take next, instead of quitting NOW, won't be the one to change everything from healthy to cancerous?
Quit now.

i havent dipped since 1200 and i dont intend on throwing in another. I meant that tomorrow will be the first day completely dip free. I had my last chew at 1200 and havent had one since. I didnt mean to start a fuss or anything! 'winker'

Good. Thanks for clarifying. Welcome to quit. Dump all your shit. No "emergency" cans or nic gum or patches or any of that dog shit.
Dump it all and go post day 1 in September 2014. Today is day 1 of the rest if your life.

Allright! It'll be tough at times, but you won't regret it on the other side! It's SO worth it you cant believe it!

I see you posted roll....welcome! Crush today!

okay so this is Day 2 so far, i feel fine right now, i had a hard time falling asleep last night but besides feeling tired im not doing too bad. I think i was just worried about the quit and thats why i couldnt fall asleep right away. I was also going to the bathroom like every 20 minutes idk if that is normal but today i dont feel too bad, im trying to stay busy.

Busy is good... it keeps your mind off your craves
Drink water, read, get involved, write, read more, etc.
You've got this!
-
Stay strong Get_Right, these next 2 days will be hard. Busy is good! I quit with you today.

I'm on day 3 and had the same issue last night. Went to bed early just to make sure I got enough sleep. Couldn't fall asleep, then woke up about 3 times because of the kids, then up at 5 to start the day. Sucks right? Not as much as cancer. Not as much as my teeth falling out. Not as much as ditching out on time with my family because I couldn't hold out another second with the nic.
We're taking back everything that was taken from us and more GR. Push through the suck. We'll get there.
-
One step at a time. Start making a plan. Start establishing relationships with your group members and others. Reach out when you struggle.
-
roll?
-
roll?
Posting roll every damn day is the bedrock of your quit. Start there, one day at a time
-
Hi. I appreciate the reply and I did verify that you posted roll.
We all get busy with shit. It's called life, and it doesn't stop so we can quit. It actually seems to get even more hectic to be honest. If you wait to post your promise until things "slow down" or you have time to "get to it", you take the chance that one of those life events are going to make you feel weak, put you in a bad spot, feel overwhelmed, or like you are just going to throw in the towel. Our addict brains tell us that we haven't promised anything yet, so we may as well just go ahead and take that one pinch. Don't let anything get in the way of you waking up, making a promise to yourself and to all of us to remain quit for today.
Quit with you today.

I posted roll guys, sorry i was busy with school work! i need to start posting right when i wake up!

First thing when you awake is the smartest.
Why? Well because it provides you that promise at the start of the day that then you need to uphold for the day. It is a very powerful statement.
So get in the rhythm of posting first thing and then honoring your word. If you do you will make it....
-
Yes the sleep thing was an issue for me as well. It was a week before I had any measurable sleep. It does get better, I promise you.
Keep the quit

Boy is this a great feeling.....
I am 19 days of bad ass quit and i feel awesome. Better than when i used the nic bitch. Today I bought my first real suit as i am 100% completely done with college a week from today. I am excited to be quit and be addicted to what actually matters....hunting for a real job in the real world and living my life the way i should have before i used the nic. Thanks to everyone so far, my quit is going well. The only times i am getting bad craves is when i eat a big meal and at night when im just doing nothing at all. But the craves pass quicker each day. I started reading books a lot more than i used to and working out as well, i even go on evening walks that just calm me down and make me realize how beautiful the world is. I am 19 days quit and I cant wait to quit again tomorrow with all you quitters.
