Today marks Day 1

Great Decision Joey.  Your story sounds very similar to many here. 

Go to the December quit group: https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=15827.0  and make your promise not to use nicotine today.

We have a very simple system here; post your promise, keep your word and wake up to do it again tomorrow. 

Exchange numbers with fellow quitters and vets to help with accountability.  Drink lots of water and stay off of the caffeine.

One of the best pieces of advice i got early on was to force yourself to hate it.  Your panic attack, the fog, your general misery is all dips fault.  Blame it and force yourself to hate it.  You can move mountains one day at a time!

My name is Joey, and I am addicted to nicotine.

I have been dipping Grizzly Wintergreen Pouches for quite some time and I was at a can and half a day. The stress of my job was killing me and making me rely upon my old faithful.  today marks day 1 of my journey as I am 27 years old and want to live a full life. I don't want to be in this brain fog anymore. I don't want to feel like I have to be dependent on one thing that is terrible for me. Recent health scares have led me to this decision. As I laid in the hospital bed for what we now know was a panic attack, I was crying my eyes out thinking about how my time on this earth is limited.

I don't want this substance to control my life anymore. I want to be free.

I want your support alongside of my struggles to help me get through this journey.

Best,
Joey
