Hello, my name is matt, I chose roamcountry as my username because that is what I do. I am an over the road truck driver and have been dipping for 25 yrs at a can and a half a day. Tired of worrying about cancer and looking in the mirror every 5 minutes to examine "spots". I am not very blog savy so it may take me a while to figure out how all this works, but I will get there. I just threw out my can and spittoon and am feeling pretty insecure and panicky right now. My wife found this site to help her better understand how to support me through this and has been a good read for me which is why i decided to join in and take the plunge, all I have ever heard from friends that have chewed as long as i have is that they just cant do it. I have tried many times to quit, but i fear now i HAVE to and really need to anyway. I am encouraged to see so many that have chewed for as long as i have and they have done it so therefore it IS possible, although I have no illusions on how hard it will be. I just need the right people behind me and around me during this. I had to delete a few "friends" from my phone because all I get from them is "you'll never quit". I dont need that. Anyway, here goes everything! 'bang head'
Welcome. I was told and thought I couldn't quit. I found kTC! Today is 40 days tobacco free!
I have gone from thinking it isn't possibly to quit to really despising all things tobacco related. When I hear some decided to quit, I get stronger. You are going to take a short trip to hell. Your body will be detoxing and then your mind will start rewiring.
kTC is you rehab, therapy and hospital. Every, and I mean every fucking day you wake up, come go to the July group and post roll. Never think long term. You put 100% quit and your word to fight now. If tomorrow comes, repeat.
I love addicts but hate the addiction. I promise you two things, you will never be cured of you addiction but you are capable to never put that scum shit in your mouth again.
Anyone who tells you that you can't quit is a user and an out of control addict. I'm an addict that finally took charge. The pain of the quit is wort the reward of being free.
Have hope, apply faith, then do it. Never try...you have to do it and fight the cravings.
