I'm 51-years old and I've dipped since I was 16. Eight years ago I went to the doctor and my blood pressure was through the roof. Doc said I was in danger of having a stroke and put me on medication. Well, that was eight years ago and my blood pressure is back up at the high level that it was. I have to quit chewing and I have to quit today! I know I can do this. I just need a little support and encouragement. Thanks!
Excellent decision. My BP (as well as cholesterol, triglycerides, etc) all dropped to normal levels by my annual checkup around day 98 of my quit. I'm 56.
Nicotine does many nasty things to our bodies. Face the suck of the first days quit, then be amazed at how it gets better.
1. flush all cans of dip down the toilet. (you don't want temptation nearby).
2. go to the January 2016 quit group, say hello post roll. You will post roll with these quitters everyday, one day at a time. This will keep you accountable to yourself and others.
3. get some digits of other quitters to build a support network through brotherhood.
4. Drink lots of water, embrace the suck, and give nicotine the bums rush!
I quit with you today.
