Today marks day 28 of my quit. 13 year can a day habit. I lost my uncle to dipping a couple of years ago and about 30 days ago my step-dad was diagnosed with tounge and throat cancer from dipping and smoking. He quit a few years back but it still got him. That's what got me....I'm 33 now and I want out of this nico addiction. Went cold turkey, just gum seeds and smokey mountian. Its been an interesting 28 days. Thanks for the site guys, this thing is awesome.
Thanks,
Todd
Todd,
Welcome. You just Might be the LAST of the Sultans....not too many people come in here with damn near a month quit under their belts. Congrats. Sent you a PM. You got some great advice here from a bunch of veterans...best piece is to read as much as you can.. even after the physical nicotine's out of your system, you've got a lot of rewiring of brain synapses and receptors to go through (for like 6-12 weeks, according to the NIH). Helps to understand why even after a month the fog's still not totally gone.
Go join cavman and the Sultans and post roll daily. You've done a helluva job, but more struggles are to come. We can help you. You can help some others.
Thanks for the honest introduction, south. It's a great reminder of just how serious this addiction is. As others stated, post roll every day. First thing you do in the morning is post and honor your promise to not use nic for the day. If there's anything I can do to help your quit, please shoot me a PM (top right corner of your screen). I'm quit with you.
