Hi everyone,
I quit chewing today. I've been using cope wintergreen for 7 1/2 years. I'm terrified that I do not have the strength to do this. I've tried quitting before, but I would see a can in someone's pocket or at the gas station and cave to temptation. I know that I need to quit but I'm not sure how to do it.
I got married about six months ago. My wife was always on me about chewing while we were dating and engaged. I tried to quit last October and lasted a month. She hasn't figured out that I'm using again. I'm sick of lying to her-she is the best thing that ever happened to me and deserves better than ot be lied to. I want to break the spell that chew has over me. I would greatly appreciate any advice any of you have.

Only here would I reply to a packer fan! Kidding....with you man. Quit this week. Don't have any advice other then to say I was addicted for 22 years. This sucks. But i ain't going back. Let's stick together....even if we disagree on what qb is the GOAT ....I say Brady. And you? Stay strong.

Don't let fear rob you of the resolve that it takes to quit.
What do you have to fear exactly?
Better health? Whiter teeth? Drastically reduced chance of cancer? Self esteem? More money in your pocket? Being an honest man? No more hiding? No more planning your every waking moment around getting your fix?
Damn... That all sounds positive to me.
You can do this man... Be bigger than a weed. Don't let that pathetic crap run your life anymore. It's time for you to call the shots.

My advice is to flush any tobacco you have left and quit now. Post roll and promise not to use nicotine today then keep your promise. Then do it again tomorrow. Sounds silly but it works. The first 72 hours will be the worst. You may think you are dying, then you can compare quitting to a pendulum. At first you will have really bad withdrawals. Then you will feel better. Then you will feel bad again. But not quite as bad, and so on and so forth. But it will pass and the freedom you will achieve will make you feel like a jackass for ever using it in the first place.

Cancer terrifies me. Quitting was hard, but I did it because I became accountable for myself by posting roll call daily, thus making thousands of other quitters backing my ass up.
Read the Welcome Center, post roll, and don't do this alone.

I can see you've been watching... What are you waiting for bro?
Jump in... Post roll... Soak up some quit.
What will it be?

Stay strong man, it's a bitch, but you can beat it. Don't fear quitting, it's the beginning of your new life.
Flush any that you have left, do the roll call, hold yourself responsible.

Was psyched when I saw the Pack fan. But no posts since March 27th! No doubt you've caved. Be a fucking man and climb back on this horse. Quitting is not some impossibility. Get your mind right and grind. Day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. When your are sick of being chained to an addiction that tells you to put a weed in your mouth, come back, we'll be here....quitting.
