Well, I am doing this for the second time. I quit on January 6, 2011 and made it to HOF. I continued to post for another month or so and thought I had this addiction under control. Long story short, went hunting in November and decided to have just one.... before I really paid attention to what I was doing I was back to a half can a day. There isnt just one. You either quit or you use.
My use started when I was around 14 or 15 years old playing baseball. I started off dipping SKOAL wintergreen (my favorite) and eventually moved into Copenhagen. At one point, I dipped a can a day regularly. This habit has gone on for about 24 years and I know if I dont quit, it is going to kill me. By the way, tobacco has taken the life of my Uncle and Grandaddy... Pancreatic and bladder cancer is an ugly way to die.
I am certainly not a wealth of information here but if I have learned anything... you have to post daily and make that promise to your quit brothers that you will not use that day. Dont worry about tomorrow or 2 years from now... just worry about today. When you cant handle it, jump on the site and talk to someone or read about someone who is going through exactly what you are experiencing. I am doing this again and on Day 3... it sucks and I get to do it all over again. The good news is that it can be done and you will start feeling better but you cant lose sight of the fact that the NIC bitch will strike when you least expect. Use this group ... it will be one of the best decisions you have made.
