My name is Chris. I've been thinking, researching, and preparing, and tomorrow is my day. I'm 34, and have been chewing different types and brands steadily since I was 17. Not sure exactly why or how, but I am up to 3+ cans a day now. If I'm off work for a few days, I can buy a roll a day. And that is greatly depressing to me, and I feel totally powerless. I easily spend $40 to $50 a week. And this kills me even worse. There have been many times in the past year, where we would be struggling to find gas money, but I always had chew. I was even unemployed for nearly 6 months two years ago, and I still had my chew. I do not feel good bout myself. I have tried quitting before, several times actually. Using patches, gum, herbal chew (no tobacco or nicotine), and it would work for a few days. Then I would get to the point where I feel like I've beat it it, and just one chew won't hurt. And that always lead to another can, and right back where I've been, and currently am again.
I know the withdrawal symptoms, and everything I have coming. I AM ready. Tonight is my last night. Please send me your support and advice. Tomorrow I will be posting Day 1!!
Wish me the best!!
