He's a one and done, moving on ...
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Chris you def found the right place here. If you are truly ready to quit, great news, you CAN QUIT!! Nothing worth having ever comes easy though, right? I would read as much as possible on this site and do anything and everything to help keep you occupied for the moment. It is a very hard thing to do but it can be done and you will be successful as long as you post your word everyday and keep it. All the poison you have been putting in your body has to come out at some point and all the side effects that come with it are just a part of the healing process. quitting IS 95% mental and 5% everything else. Re train your brain and you WILL beat this thing! PM me if you need my digits
The BEST day to quit was Yesterday, the second best day is TODAY!

Hi Chris and welcome to the rest of your life! You're doing the right thing - and the headaches will go away I PROMISE. Drink water - lots and lots of water. Working out helps too. This is a great resource, not just for success at quitting but for staying quit for good. However, you have to buy in to it completely, and if you do it will CHANGE. YOUR. LIFE.

Get over to October and post roll. Easy-peazy. Do it every single day before you do anything else. Do it from your couch, the kitchen, the shitter - I don't care. Just do it first thing (well, okay - if the wife is looking for some lovin' then that's a good exception). The key here is making that promise to a bunch of people and then KEEPING YOUR WORD. You're a man of high character and integrity right? I mean, you hold hundreds of lives in your hand several times a day, right? I feel pretty certain you can keep one little promise, for just 24 hours, every day. Right?

I am proud to quit with you today, and I look forward to seeing you as one of our Bad Ass Quitters. You've got my digits in your mailbox. If you need anything text me and let me know.

Quote from: Airline
First of all I want to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Chris and I am an airline pilot for a major US airline. I am 33 years old with two kids. I have chewed since my college football days (about 12-13 years now). I went off long cut about 3 years ago and went straight to pouches.

I would have four pouches in my mouth at a time. Amazing. Something that tastes so bad that my first time using it I could barely put a pinch in without feeling a nasty burn and a disgusting taste. Now here I am with 4 servings in my mouth, and more if I could store it. I quit thanks to this website and my paranoia with oral cancer. I had a dream that was so realistic I woke up breathing out of control and sweating.

I quit. I owe it to my kids, my family, and myself. As most of you know this is hard. I am not necessarily craving it directly. I walked into the gas station today and didn't want any. My headaches are out of control. My mood is terrible. My workouts are still good, but mainly because the harder I work the less my head hurts.

At any rate I am here. I am hurting. I am done with that nasty stuff. I don't want it in my mouth and I don't want to be around it. Although it would get rid of my headache immediately.

ANYONE who is thinking about starting chew. Don't. I remember the struggle I had at the beginning to form the perfect wad to throw in my lip. The first time the room was spinning. Now the struggle is living without it. This is a fight not worth fighting. Don't even introduce this poison to your body. Anyone thinking of quitting---do it. So far so good, mouth already feels better. HEAD is killing me.
Welcome Chris!!! You're making a great decision that will save your life! I'll inbox you to get familiar with things and get you started with your quit group. Please don't hesitate to contact anyone of this site because we're all in this together
