Wanted to drop a quick intro and say thanks for having such a resource here. My wife is my support crew and found this for me. I'm on day 18 after a 35 year habit that began at the age of 13, and never let up until February 20th when I went cold turkey. I never once did not completely enjoy every dip of every can I ever had. I have no idea why I did it but I just decided that morning I was done with it - and I'm positive I'll never use it again.
I'd be lying if I said it wasn't killing me. I woke up on day three in the middle of my living room floor at 4:30 AM and no idea how I got there, and my lips and tongue are cramping to the point I can't talk sometimes. It's bad...bad.....but reinforces why I needed to quit. It is crazy what this crap does to you...I had no idea how addicted I was.
Good luck to all.
Join the group that coincides with your quit date and post every day. Send me a PM if you want my phone number. We are all here for the same reason.
Congrats on your decision. My friend luv2ski is spot on. Find your group and post roll. Don't miss.
One warning - among a myriad that are available - be careful not to romanticize your chewing. Every dip? Really? Sure some were enjoyable but raw lips, receeding gum lines, stained teeth, breath that smells like someone shit down your throat, not being able to spontaneously kiss your wife,
etc., etc. Whatever has motivated you to quit find that and hang onto that. Nurture it until you despise UST and the tin. It is tough to quit anything if you can't find reasons to hate what it is you were doing - or at least not romanticize the use.
Get in your group and post roll, read everything on this site, ask for help from anyone - they will gladly help.
