Quitting - again!

[no_more_skoal]

Hello all, I am on here because I quit tobacco 3 days ago. I won't go into my history of caving, except to say that I understand my biggest trigger - boredom! Aside from the addictive properties of tobacco, boredom always was the biggest challenge and the reason for my backsliding. Now is a good time for me to quit, I am highly motivated and have some new life changes happening that are keeping things interesting. Even though I am in a workplace where I could openly chew and am surrounded by dippers, I'm able to get by. And after 14 years of dipping, I recently hit a point where a dip made me salivate horribly and feel like puking, so I couldn't even keep a dip in for 5 minutes. I don't know why this started happening, just know I am taking advantage of it and tossed all dip. Suddenly I just felt tired of feeling sick. My avatar is to remind me of this.

So day 3 cold turkey and craving, but happy that I didn't feel like vomiting within the first few hours of my day.

Welcome and Congratulations on your decision!
Chew and nicotine trick us into justifying our addiction and use, boredom, working long hours, driving far, relaxing, etc. But this is all just gimmicks to keep us sucking at the teet of big tobacco.
1. Post roll daily, first thing
2. invest in your quit, KTC and other quitters
3. repeat 1-2

So true - it's all tricks and gimmicks and excuses. In the end a craving is a craving and one must power through.

Hey Mr Skoal! Glad you found us. I think boredom is certainly a big trigger for a lot of us.. Early on I found that stuffing my face with sunflower seeds, eating anything and everything in sight or just going for a damn walk seemed to help. Whatever you do just know that it's better than stuffing your face full of death! Post roll, read up and make some great connections. This site is filled with really great people who all want to see you suceed!!

Jump in with both feet and get this done!!
