Hey guys my name is Joe, I'm 45 days strong right now. My last pinch was December 6th 2016 @ 9am. I went cold turkey and it was the best decision I could have made. I suffered through 1 week of hell and then it started getting better and better. I think this week is the first week that the good days have out weighed the bad. It wasn't so much that I had a lot of bad days. It was just the ones I did were really rough. I feel like I am slowly starting to feel like myself again, slowly but surely. After tens years of a tin a day I never thought I would be at this point but here I am! The reason I am reaching out at this point in my quiting process, because I'm looking for people who have experienced what I'm going through and who get how I am feeling especially on those really bad days.
Joe
Joe, welcome and congratulations.
It is amazing the imprint that chew/nicotine has left on our brains. But it was a part of our daily routines for a very long time so it will take time and especially to get through doing all the activities that you have done for years with a chew in.
I remember I used to look forward to picking up dog shit in the backyard, you know why, I got to have a chew in quiet (hid it from my wife and family). The first time I did it without a chew, it was terrible...
But there are a lot of things that are still fun without a chew, fishing, hunting, golfing, etc.
Anyways just a trip down memory lane.
Join us post roll, and read up, there is a wealth of quit knowledge here.
