Hi All- glad I found this forum as I just started my journey and am sure at some points I will need to lash out at somebody so it might as well be someone I can play armchair general with.
Let's see, I have been dipping for the last 10 years pretty regularly about 1-2 cans a week. Before that I used to get my fix from smoking when I drank and dipping when I didn't. Unfortunately, nicotine for a long time has always been part of my life and I haven't wanted to nor did I make any concentrated efforts to quit.
I promised myself when my first daughter was born I would quit, that was 4 years ago. I promised myself when my second daughter was born I would quit, that was two years ago. I didn't quit and I still dipped until 4 days ago when I actually said fuck it, this is stupid and I don't need this shit.
So I stopped on November 27th but then I had a smoke on December 6th because I was drinking and stupid, the clock starts again. I am now 4 days free of nicotine and am destroying packs of gum but I haven't broken down and had a dip so its a start.
Mike
