Welcome, sir. We've all been there. It sucked. Write down your thoughts. Your memory will fail, but you need a tool to keep these memories around. You never have to experience the misery of withdrawal again. Just another tool in the box.

Reach out if you need anything.

Welcome FM.
Nicotine withdrawal is a motherfucker regardless of your chosen administration route. You experienced it today. We don't agree with NRT because the success rate at 6 months is less than 10%. And nicotine is nicotine. A heroine addict who chooses to squirt heroine into his peepee hole vs into his vein...is still using heroine.

Great decision getting in here.
I want to see your name and promise on roll first thing tomorrow.
Shout out if you need anything.

Hi folks. My name is John. I'm 41 years old and have been dipping since I was 15. In 2004 I did quit for 4 years but I made the worst decision EVER when I picked the can back up due to what I felt was justifiable stress (and perhaps some passive aggressive resentment towards my wife at the time). Went through a VERY rough divorce and have been dipping again for nearly four years. I'm SO SICK OF IT. 22 years of dipping tobacco.....I can hardly believe it! I hate being a slave to DIP. I hate the hours that I've missed with family and my kids while I've excused myself to go have a chew. I hate that DIP has always been the first thing on my mind in the morning, and the last thing before bed. I hate that I've spent at least $30k on this crap!

Anyway, at 41 years of age I'm really at a point that I need to focus on my health and family. I'm remarried to a beautiful woman who is 7 years my junior (how I got her to marry me is still a mystery). I have two kids of my own of which I have shared custody and my wife brings 4 kids to the marriage. Yep, a grand total of 6 kids! Ages 5, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14. I am a software developer and I'd say "working" and or coding, is a HUGE trigger in itself. I'm used to dipping ALL day long.

The first time I quit in 2004, was a big win for me. I'd never been able to do it before having failed MULTIPLE times. I know this site does not advocate the use of nicotine in any form but for me, using the patch in conjunction with "Baccoff" was the winning formula. I followed the same steps this time. I've used patches for the first week, but I've been nicotine free for 48 hours now. Just my baccoff moving forward. New year's eve was THE WORST. I swear, I could barely hold a conversation. Terrible headaches, stomach aches, Hot flashes and constipation. Yesterday was more of the same to a lesser degree. Today seems to be going better which is good news. I've made promises to myself and my wife that I need to keep.

Anyway, I'm so glad that I found this site. I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you better!


Cheers,
John
welcome John, read the welcome center link if you haven't yet and if this still looks like your kind of place (it is if you want to quit!) than post roll each day, do that and I'll quit with you in April. Look for my name on roll under support, I'll be there with you from time to time. Reach out to those in your quit group and to some of the vets, if you'd like my number it only takes a pm asking to get it.
