Hello all,
As of right now it's been about 24 hours since I last put nicotine into my body. It is going better than expected, but that's why I'm here. As a recovering alcoholic, I've been sober for 4 years. I know that the moment you think you've got it licked and let your guard down, is the moment you slip up.
I smoked for several years, but after watching my Dad die of lung cancer I decided to quit. When it got tough I would throw in a dip. Obviously it didn't take long to start chewing full time. Basically replaced one with the other (genius plan, I know). A year and half later, here I am. Last night was tough, but today hasn't been too bad so far. I know it's a long battle and I look forward to learning and venting with you guys.
