Title: GinS - Introduction
Post by: GinS on May 08, 2015, 12:11:00 AM

Hey Everyone - I am on Day 12 and feeling better. It is crazy how a girl-tomboy/model in her early years started chewing and didn't quit until April 24th, 2015. 28 years of crazy shit. Tried other times, 3 exactly. Once with patches and that didn't last long. I started chewing while wearing the patch. Another cold turkey and lasted 14 days but when you don't have support and feel like the only woman on earth with this problem you fail! The last time was last year and quit for 3 months with help from a hypnosis. Still doing this on my own wasn't working. I felt broken and no one close to me could understand.

I am here now and know that this is ODAAT. My husband, Mom, and oldest son (11) supports me and is proud I have made it this far. Sure they are hoping this is the last time and I can only tell them "today I have promised to not use chew."

It's amazing how strangers sharing an experience(s), a common challenge, etc. can come together as a team and be successful. Thank you so much to all the men and woman. I would not be on Day 12 without your blind friendship that is all based on one similarity-we are addicted to the evil nic.

I look forward to forging long term relationships from helping eachother, each day. I quit with you! I am to old to chew and to young to die.

It's amazing the power these folks have that now surround us. They are really the only ones who can relate to us. They can support us when we need it and call us out when we slip. As an early August arrival, reach out to each and every new August quitter. Lead the charge in organizing the fledgling crew, all the while building your own web of accountability. Quit with you Today! Oh, the name will come soon enough.
