Don't be a One-n-Done, man!

You found this place... this place works... this place saves lives


Get that name on roll and put an end to "trying". Do this.
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

Jackman -- make sure that you join your quit group, and post roll every morning. I believe your quit date puts you in Dec Quit group with me.

It may seem odd at first, but posting roll each morning -- making that promise to each other to quit today -- is a huge help!

Nights 2-4 are Dark and Full of Terrors -- remember them. Promise to never go through them again!

Quote from: Jackman61
I quit 9/22. My wife doesn't believe me, but it's true. I've stopped chewing hundreds of times, but never more than a couple weeks. Started when I was twelve--48 years ago. Lied to myself and everybody else about how the shit was controlling my life. My wife has always called snuff my mistress and that is the fact. I would lie and chew--swear to her on my kids life I wasn't doing it, but would sneak out and grab some whenever the coast was clear.Copenhagen was my brand. I think it is the most addictive brand on the market. What do you all think?

I think the worst part about snuff is how it affects your personality. When I am chewing I get mean and I'm never wrong.I also don't care about anything or anybody except where the next chew is coming. Totally don't give a shit about anything else. Anyone who thinks this stuff isn't a narcotic is nuts.

When I stop. I feel great for a couple days--feel like I am in control of my life after stopping, but by the fourth day I feel sick physically, mentally and with a never-ending thirst in the mouth for a dip. That's how I'm feeling now--sick and thirsty, but committing to this quit group is making me live again. Hope it isn't too late. I am ready. 'help'
Jackman, great to see you here. Four days is awesome after a lifetime of use. I started with that mistress when I was twelve also and spent 36 years stuffing it in my face. It was not too late for me to quit and its not too late for you. Post your promise every day in your quit group, read all you can on this site, exchange numbers with other quitters, and lean on the people here. It is going to be rough for a little while, but it gets better and you can do this. I sent you a private message with my number.

It looks like you are close to a contemporary of mine. I did not start at 12, but used nic in one form or another for over 40'years until finally quiting this past June. For the past 15 years or so I had given up on quiting. It was too hard. Earlier this year through health issues and discovering this site I have now quit for 107 days, one day at a time.
Find your quit group and post your promise not to use nicotine for the day, then do it again tomorrow. Connect with members of your quit group and the many impressive veteran quitters on this site. Read, read, and read some more. The tools available here work if you use them.
Come on and join this old geezer in the big quit.
