Man am I glad I found this forum! So nice to see everyone helping each other out. I quit on February 25th at 1pm. I gradually started cutting my chew rate back the previous week and got it down to 3 a day. On February 25th I hadn't had one in 12 hours, put one in and realized I still didn't want it. My reasons for quitting are my wife and 2 kids, not to mention my health. I chewed cherry Skoal for about 10 years. I started when I was about 23 or so and have quit a little after my 33rd birthday (feb 13th). I have not had one chew since then and have thrown all I had out and have made it a point to forget it. I am determined to do this, I will not give in. I could not conciously let something that I knew was killing me control my life, I would look for my chew harder than if I lost my wallet.
Now that it is day 5 I physically feel much better, but mentally I am going out of my mind, I am anxious and feeling tired earlier in the day, although I am sleeping much better. I have had a queasy/nauseated feeling my stomach and have not been hungry. I have been using bacc-off with some success but I think it may make it worse sometimes because I know it is not curbing my nic craving. I have read almost all I can from this site and think it is the best thing ever for someone trying to quit (like you guys needed to know that!). If anyone has any more words of wisdom I would love to hear them! Thanks guys/girls!

Anthony-
Welcome aboard!
Our process is simple, but HARD. We post roll everyday, which is our word that we will not use nicotine in any form for that day.
Go to the orange colored tab at the top of the page "Welcome Center". Read as much as you can.
Shoot me a PM if you have any questions.
Quit on brother!

Through With Chew...:
Another bit of advice/instruction....if your quit date was 02/25, then you are in the June '14 Quit Group. Post roll in that group every morning. We take posting roll very seriously here, so if you haven't already, go to the Welcome Center and learn how to do it. Roll is your sacred responsibility and is the price of admission to this club. Do not fail yourself or your fellow quitters. If you have any questions PM me.

Succinct, to the point, and accurate.
Wake up, post roll, take first breath.

Welcome and great decision.
One thing... you need to quit for YOU. I get that you want to quit for the wife and kids, but what if this happens.... Not saying it will, but it has happened to some very strong quitters here at KTC. What if you came home from work and your wife packed up and left with the kids... They are gone and now it is just you.
Do YOU want this quit? This is what you have to answer because your wife kids can't quit for you. They can't prevent you from driving down to the C-store to stuff your face full of dip.
YOU and YOU alone have to OWN your quit.
Not trying to piss in your Cheerios, just trying to be straight with you. This quittin thing takes some guts. It is in you. You can do this.
Quit like you mean it today.

I completely understand what you guys are saying. There isn't anything easy about this. True my wife and kids could pack up and leave one day, but by quitting I am making myself and them much happier and showing them and myself there isnt anything more important than them. I went from from enjoying chew to it pissing me off every time I put one in because damn if something like that is going to control my life, I don't live for chew, I live for my family and friends. Chew was a part of my life for a long time and now there just isn't any room left for it. The health implications that this stuff can cause are reason enough to quit, and I'm sure quitting is a heck of a lot easier than my other options down the road. I have not post rolled yet but will do that ASAP. Thanks to all for the kind words!

Hey guys, I'm glad to say I am back, I found this site last year when I decided to quit chew. This site helped me tremendously and I had quit for 4 months. I caved in around the 4 month mark and kick myself in the ass for starting back up. It is about a year later now and I decided to do this again but for good this time. I remember what it was like last time and am prepared to handle it. Currently I am in about 2 1/2 days in now and feel great. I am using some alternative chew (smokey mountain) and it is helping keep the cravings at bay. I will post roll today and make sure I do every morning!

Good morning Anthony.
I combined your two Intros. It's a way to keep you accountable to your last failure.
As you've stated, this is your second time around here, and while I applaud you for coming clean and not trying to hide, I do want to hold your feet to the fire and ask what they Hell, man? You had the tools, and support of this site last year, and used it for four months. Why did you throw all that away and essentially take a giant dump on your former brothers?
You need to go back to your old group and fess up, too.
Get your shit wired right this time. This is not a joke.

Nolaq, there really is no excuse I can give. I made a horrible decision one day while I was driving. Stopped a convenience store and like a true addict told myself, I can get just one, I quit, how hard can it be to do one and throw it out. The good thing is I know better now and am more committed. Even though I don't know you, after reading your post I realize how bad I let myself and everyone down!

The horrible decision was when you decided to bail on your brothers and sisters in June 14.
Popping one in happened because you had no accountability.
Shit had you stuck around you would be damn near at 400. I hit that tomorrow.
You may remember the deal. You cave and come back, you gotta explain to June 14 AND July 15
1) what happened?
2) why did it happen?
3) what are you going to do differently?
No bullshit answers. Man up and dig deep.
