Hello all,
Quit dip about 4 days ago. I have no idea what came over me and I guess I just gave up and didnt understand the concept of chewing anymore.
I've tried quitting in the past and just wasn't ready to do so, started when I was roughly 16 years old while playing baseball. Im now 25 and been away from baseball
for about 5 years now. Im trying to go into Law Enforcement the problem is the agencies around my area are all going Tobacco FREE. So I wasnt going to let a habit stand in between me and my life Goals.
I started chewing Smokey Mountain Herbal Snuff. I just need to know am I really quit even if I use the fake snuff.
OLLY - if you're not using nicotine at all (tobacco, gum, patches, vape) then you're quit. Smokey Mountain is something like corn silk, shredded kudzu and flavoring, if I recall correctly. It's got the nicotine content of a lip full of spinach leaves.
Here's the good news - after four days, the nicotine is out of your system. Wonderful, right?
Here's the bad news - that doesn't mean you're out of the woods. Take a look at these links to get some idea of what you're in for:

hard. There's a reason that we do it one day at a time here. You've been using a poison that has altered your body and brain chemistry over the course of years. You're addicted to it. You need to recognize that, admit it, and then tackle quitting head on with the support of other people who have been where you are and know what you're going through.
I would really, really suggest getting over to the
September quit group. Roll is our way of promising each other that we will not have nicotine for the day. We post roll every day here. Our system is pretty simple. Wake up, post roll, and keep your word for the day. Then, the next day, do it all over again. Here's a video to help you understand how to post roll:
