Hello out there. So, to be official: My name is Dan and I'm totally addicted to nicotine. My story is like so many others. Tried to quit many, times, keep failing. I have been reading this site a lot and it makes a lot of sense. It's pretty damn important to read things from people who seem smart and rationale in general--and who obviously truly understand what's going on. Also for the record: I had my last chew at 9 am on 2/25/12. No nicotine at all since--that makes me a little over 72 hours into this thing. My experience is that it will get a whole lot worse before it gets better. I am confused about how this forum works still, but I want to join the HOF class of June 2012. I'm serious, I'm committed, I am not in denial. I want help. I will try to help others. Reading things on this site has truly helped me get to this point...thank goodness there are people who understand this feeling...its pretty real and it doesn't matter anymore why or how I got to this point. I just need to deal. So I want to post roll everyday and be part of the team. No more poison!
As far as my use, my story sounds like a lot of others--except I was actually dumb enough to start serious chewing at the age of 29...I thought I could handle it because I was an "adult"...anyway you guys know how that worked out....I only chewed when I was awake...Mostly Grizzly Long cut straight, for about 11years...at least a can a day for the past 9.
I want to keep this short and simple. Thanks for listening. No more poison.
PS: as I said this is my first post ever. If I'm not submitting it to the right place etc, can someone please let me know and give me some pointers? Thank you.
