Quit now I'm in a fucking pissy mood. It definitely isn't fun at least I have this smokey mountain crap as a bookmark to hold in my lip. Been smoking and dipping for 6 years. Quitting at 23 because I don't want to ruin my health later on down the road plus losing teeth isn't attractive.

I'm in the May 2016 quit group that these guys are telling you to join. 24 years old been chewing for 8 years. The last 6 years have been 1-1.5 cans a day minimum. I have to have back surgery this year and nicotine prevents bone healing. Not quitting would be a stupid reason to have an even more screwed up back.
I quit Sunday night so today is my day 5. Days 1-3 were pure hell in every sense of the word. Day 4 was marginally better and today, Day 5 I feel great. I don't so much feel a need for it like my brain was trying to convince me in the first 3 days. The hardest thing I am fighting right now is the cravings. One of my most difficult times this week has been the drive home from work. I have been using smokey mountain as well to minimize the changes.
Water helped me a lot I think - I was drinking over a gallon a day during my first 3 days. Gum and toothpicks also help me make it through the day. We're all pulling for you now Cog.
