limbs, I am on day 3 right now. Things don't seem that bad right now but I have been stuffing the herbal snuff in my face at a very high rate. It seems to have really cut back on the urges. I have tried many times over 25 years to quit and have never felt the confidence like I do with the support of the people here and the fake stuff. I am in the November group. If you need an outside hand to beat the bitch PM me for my number. I would be more than willing to help.

limbs, you can quit...and you will. It's a very simple formula here that has worked hundreds of miracles in the lives of fellow addicts  quitters that have come before us.

1. Post roll. Promise, for that day, that you will not partake of any form of nicotine. Every day. No excuses.

2. Keep your word.

3. Come back the next day and do the same damn thing.

I've seen it written several places: it's not easy...but it's simple.

Check November roll call for suggestions on what to do after eating. PM me if you need a number to call for questions or support.

First, congrats on your decision and welcome.

Second, sorry to hear about your paw-in-law.

Third, you must really love pain? Three days is the worst of it. Day 4 (generally) is when the pain starts to subside just a bit, and you start realize that quitting can be done. If you reintroduce nicotine at anytime, you get to start over.

Be tough. You can make it. Its not that bad for that long.

Quote from: limbs
Hello all! I'm Here to quit dipping. Actually I already have for 2 hours now, and can't wait for the time when I can wake up in the morning and think "what for breakfast" instead of "wheres my tin"

Back Story of my Addiction

I started with the occasional chew my freshman year in college. I played football and a lot of the guys would have it on them. Then I made a weekly thing of it having one after every Friday practice. By my senior year I was buying tins every day...full blown addict.
I kept doing it through law school even though my then girlfriend "now wife" hated it. I promised id quit when we got married, but then I made a million excuses not to do it. I've tried a few half hearted attempts mostly just to please her. I've used pills, gum, a whole bunch of things but they never really worked because I've never really wanted to quit.
This past year my father in-law a lifelong smoker had a heart attack and quit smoking that day. It has really inspired me to take this quitting serious. For the last 2 weeks Ive stopped and started. Its always the third day that gets me. So I found this board where hopefully I can get a place to vent and just get past the urges.

Poured the skoal down the drain 2 hours ago woot!

Cant wait to beat this bitch...lata
Get on it limbs -

Go post roll fellow juris doctor. Your quit group is November, I believe. You've made the best decision you will ever make.

PM me if you want a number for that pesky third day. Do not think that you can't do it. Do not "try" to quit. Today is the day that you quit. And you will never have to experience another day 1 again.

Rock on.
