Day 1 and I am struggling

I can say the first 3 days were tough. Then the pressure eased off a noticable amount. I was going to us nicorete gum till this site talked some sence into me. Four things that have helped me the most.

1. Reading a lot on this site
2. Drinking a lot of water
3. Changed my daily routine
4. Mind over matter don't think about it.

After 26 years of chewing and my Kids and Dentist kept asking for me to try and quit. I said it's bad if I don't realize that this crap is not only hurting me.

First off, outfuckingstanding...

Second, there is no "try" here...you have quit.

Third, I applaud the proactive work in "changed my daily routine". That hard work is going to pay off.

Yes, good advice has been given. Buckle down and get through the first 3 days. Run, sweat, read, drink water, read, QUIT. You can get through this. We all did. Give a ring if necessary.

Well Day 5 back to work today after having last week off. It was a little harder going back to the normal routine. So I stopped and bought a tin and had just one dip. LOL JUST KIDDING. Everything is going good. Just like you guys say one day at a time. Thanks for the words of advice. I'm actually enjoying the challenge not to chew. I treat it like a game with myself and my mind.

We don't joke about caving.

Just a sick sence of humor I guess.

There is no cave. You shut the door. Burn your boats. Never turn around.

Its as though caving doesn't exist.

The sultan of quit tells no lies-there is no cave...There is no turning back. Caving is for the weak. It is not for us.

Keep fighting Shane. Think about this: you tried killing yourself with poison laden cancer candy for years right? You only go through withdrawal once.

You think your body was excited to have all them toxins put into it? Hell no. Let the process work. Drink water. Get some hard candy for the oral fix. You can do this.

Get your ass into chat if you need.

One day at a time bro and we'll see the other side of this. You can do this.

Fight. Plan. Protect.

YZ - from one 26 year dipper to another I say, Great Job. You can do this...today. Don't even think about tomorrow, or next week, just focus on conquering this challenge today. You get to bedtime without putting any nicotine in your body and you can count it as a successful day. Today will be difficult and foggy at times but I assure you, you can do this.

Tell your wife, kids, friends. You will need their support.

Day 175 - I'm quit with you today.
