I had my last chew on the morning of new years day. I found out my wife was pregnant 12-15. I am NOW ready to quit. I am excited to be able to this with people that are on the same path as me.Â
I have been chewing for 10 years and I absolutely love it. Ready for help and to move on.
Welcome to ktc chiknplker. First thing I wanna say is you if you really want to quit, you need to change your mind and change it fast about loving tobacco. How in the hell can you love something that is killing you and will take you away from that new baby? I have 2 wonderful boy's and couldn't even imagine not being their for them. I'm very mellow compared to what you will hear for that comment. we don't try to quit here. We QUIT. Congratulation's on quitting, it is the best decision you could ever make. This site will save your life if you use it to the fullest. Go check out the salmon colored welcome center link in top left corner of your screen and,read it and read some more. Reading will help take your mind off of tobacco and their is alot of great info on this site to help make your quit even stronger. You need to head on over to the April Quit group and post roll call if you haven't already. You need to post roll early every single day and make your promise not to use. sorry this is kinda jumbled up but it's late and i'm damn sleepy. lol. I quit with you today and if you need anything at all just pm me.
Please tell me what you love about it?
Please let Diesel be the next response!
Sorry, Waketech. Diesel can squeeze in elsewhere.
Alright, chicken.... this attitude has got to change. You DO NOT love chewing. Read up on the science behind addiction. Learn about it. The key to winning any war is understanding your enemy. What you actually "love" is the withdrawal relief that each chew gives you. Each and every time you remove a nicotine source (chew), within minutes, the body begins to clean the system. That begins to cause minor withdrawal symtoms. Hence, we always wanted another one. That process builds over time. It takes more and more nicotine to relieve the symtoms. Your addiction is holding your entire system (dopamine, adrenaline, emotions, etc) hostage. Stay the course for a few weeks, and that will become clear. We have to learn to deal with the raw emotions and reactions without them being dulled by a stimulant.
We may have the same end game, but it still remains to be seen if we're on the same path. I hope we are, and I'll help you find that path. Reach out if you need help.
Make us a promise by posting roll.
Then keep your word.
