I stumbled upon this sight a couple of days ago when googling support groups for nicotine addiction. After spending a couple of hours reading on the site I realized this is where I need to be! I had chewed a can a day since age 16. IÂ’m 38 now, have a wife and 2 children. I am completely dedicated to my quit, realizing now how chew has affected my life. For the last 22 years I pretty much had a chew in 24/7. I hid it very well, didnÂ’t need a spit can. I want to be healthy, free from the burden of needing to chew, free from hiding my habit from my small children! The list goes on and on. Yesterday and today have been a challenge, I have felt light headed and feel like I am stuck in a dream. I didnÂ’t sleep much last night, every time I woke up I was sweating. IÂ’m excited about being quit! I feel I understand myself and after reading on this site, that I do have an addiction, and that it is a big challenge. I will need to stay focused everyday to stay quit. I look forward to staying quit with everyone on this site, one day at a time.
Thanks for listening!
John
