I quit 9/22. My wife doesn't believe me, but it's true. I've stopped chewing hundreds of times, but never more than a couple weeks. Started when I was twelve--48 years ago. Lied to myself and everybody else about how the shit was controlling my life. My wife has always called snuff my mistress and that is the fact. I would lie and chew--swear to her on my kids life I wasn't doing it, but would sneak out and grab some whenever the coast was clear.Copenhagen was my brand. I think it is the most addictive brand on the market. What do you all think?
I think the worst part about snuff is how it affects your personality. When I am chewing I get mean and I'm never wrong.I also don't care about anything or anybody except where the next chew is coming. Totally don't give a shit about anything else. Anyone who thinks this stuff isn't a narcotic is nuts.
When I stop. I feel great for a couple days--feel like I am in control of my life after stopping, but by the fourth day I feel sick physically, mentally and with a never-ending thirst in the mouth for a dip. That's how I'm feeling now--sick and thirsty, but committing to this quit group is making me live again. Hope it isn't too late. I am ready. 'help'
