'bang head' Hi, my name is Brett (brett1405). I have been addicted to chew for a little over 10 years now. I am on day 5 of a new quit. I remember when I had my first dip of Skoal fine cut back in about 1978 when i was 12. I got dizzy , but didnt get sick. I spit it out probably within two minutes though. I tried Copenhagen a couple times a few years later, but got really sick on that. Then I discovered I could chew Leaf tobacco without getting sick after learning how, so I did that for about 9 months. I started smoking a year or two later and was addicted to that for 8 yrs. and then a year of just chewing Copenhagen ( I could take it now!) lol. Then back to smoking for 3 years, then I quit smoking in 1996, didnt do any nicotine for 4 and a half years, then started on my 10 yr. habit of snoose. I have tried many times in the past, and have kept going back. I sincerely and really hope I have it in me to quit for good this time. It makes me emotional to talk and think about it. I guess I started in the first place because I have always thought there was something wrong with me and I cant handle confrontations and I take things Inside my self alot. It always seemed like chew took away all those problems. (??). I dont know whether its because deep inside I have a secret wish to die or something, I dont know. All I know is, I felt way better when I didnt do any nicotine, but it always seemed like life was tougher and I dont want life to be that tough. Anyway, I hope I can get some support on here. Thank you, Brett
