Hi, my name is Wayne and I'm into my 4th day quit. I'm 31 and used to be a can a day guy. Started out slow when I was 11 years old. My older brother, Dad and grandfather all chew a can a day. My grandfather is 82 years old and going strong, and we will have to pry a Skoal can out of his hand when he dies. It's little things like this that told me I should just keep on dippin' and I'll be healthy and life will be great. I watched every male role model in my life dippin' snuff, thats what we did. Well, I'm gonna change all of that right here, right now. I woke up 4 days ago tired of the sores in my mouth, the dent in my wallet, the anxiety in my head and the disgusting image I have from snuff. One of the biggest reasons I quit was my addiction of nicotine was so huge that when i woke up in the morning craving snuff, I was so bitter and grumpy my wife was not allowed to talk to me, when I saw my 1 year old daughter come running to me with the biggest smile ever, I would turn my head and walk away. I was that damn miserable. I skipped my morning chew on Monday morning, drove to work and threw my can of Red Seal Natty into the woods. Here I am on day 4 and my mornings are so different already. Sure I have the oral fixation, the "ache" for nicotine, I'll even sub-consciously start patting my pockets looking for my snuff while in a middle of a conversation only to be very dissapointed when I realize what my mind wants. I can honestly say however in the mornings I smile, talk to my wife, hug my daughter and overall feel better physically. Maybe it's the drop in blood pressure?? I'm in my 84th hour and my mouth is pretty sore from sunflower seeds and I still have major cravings, I'm just hoping they subside a little soon. It's tough, but based on everything I've read here theres a light at the end of the tunnel. I had my wife look over your site and do a ton of reading so she can be supportive and know what to expect. That's my story ,thanks for listening!
