Hi All,
Came on here ages ago looking for inspiration to quit. Maybe one day I will put the whole story out there about the ups and downs of my quit but for right now I wanted to say hello.
I began my quit a few weeks ago but entered my quit date as Feb 28th because I had a rude morning with a spitter on my desk after a long weekend.
Currently fighting it out with some withdrawal symptoms, things seem to be loosening up on me, after 10 years constant dipping. I used to dip LC then pouches because my gums eroded too much. Throwing in a packed stadium (2 upper 2 lower) every time I reached for the tin, I found myself at 1-3 tins a day depending on my privacy and plans.
Woke up recently hacking up the black/brown/red god knows what in my throat and spitting blood randomly through the day and decided it was time. I couldn't dip without pain and feeling my teeth shift when my lips would push on them to spit. I had enough and now I am just barely beginning to see the other side of the physical withdrawal symptoms and I can't wait to be a better version of me.
This is my third time I am quitting and it will be my last. Cold turkey because I'll be damned if it's easy.
Wish everyone the best and looking forward to reading here anytime I am feeling iffy.
Thank you all again,
JMini
