Day 3. Restless last night, grouchy this morning. There is a war going on inside me Ã,â€" to cave or not to cave. The only possible solution is to hit the gym and take it out on the iron. Gonna stay quit today.

You sound badass! Great job taking control!
Welcome to quit mney65. Hold on tight, you gotta want this bad. 1st 2 weeks is a mutha $%@#$. I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. But after that it will get easier. YOU KNOW IT IS TIME, AND YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART IT WILL BE WORTH IT.

Reach out, get some numbers. I think it is a must. Also get on chat if you havent already. Use this intro thread like a journal, keep track of how you feel and record your victories. You can rant and rave, ask questions or ask for advice. Whatever you need man. I quit with you.

Quit

Great that you posted roll! One problem was the comment you made after it. Look, the first few days suck, that is why we call them the suck. Take it one day, one hour, one minute, or one second at a time. Just stay quit! I just PM'ed you my number, use it if you need to.

Today I quit with you.
I have been Quit for several years and I still wake up every morning and quit one day at a time.  I figure if it worked yesterday, it will work today.  Never ever get complacent in your quit!

Glad to hear that you ditched the gum. Now just post roll everyday and honor that word. Reach out and get yourself some numbers and use them any time that you need. I will quit with you any day. If you need a number or anything at all just pm me.

It hurts to write this response. I don't read the total disgust it takes to stay quit. Also you mentioned "this habit" I hope that's just a figure of speech. What we are is addicts, there is a huge difference between addiction and habit. "wife of 3 years is extremely disappointed". My wife of 33 years was more than disappointed and it motivated me to become more secretive. Finally don't get hung up on quitting for good worry about today! All that being said welcome to hell.
There is no TRY, only QUIT. I think you can do anything you put your mind to. What do you think??
These guys said it right on man. We don't try on this site, we DO!..or should I say we DON'T...use nic! The fake snuff is awesome, and so is everything else, but as you know just as well as all of us here..that just isn't going to cut it. You need the support and help...so get on the site, post roll every day, and if you need help, don't be afraid to ask for it! I welcome you to the rest of your life! And I quit with you today brother!
KEEP CALM AND CHIVE ON

Hey Mney

You came to a good place to support nicotine freedom. Most of the guys will attest it feels great yet still have to take a daily search of soul and come up with another promise to quit again. I know I do. Post roll every day in Slutember 2013 Pre Hall of Fame. See you there man.

Gum? You do mean just gum right? We do not use nicotine gum. Stick with us, and get through the beginning and you will do fine.
Welcome, hope you are motivated to quit for yourself as well? Spousal support is great, but it won't keep me quit. My wife nagged me for years, as bad as I wanted to stop for her I couldn't until I was ready. And you stated you usually get sick of dipping every couple of years? I have to be sick of it every damn day and remember how bad it was stuffing my face every day.
