Hello, I will be 29 this month. I started smoking when I was 17, did that for 8 years, then the rest dipping. I quit for about 6 months last year....was the longest I had gone without tobacco. I used losenges so to this site, I was really only quit for about 2 months.
I "fake quit" before, for the same reasons as I am quitting now. I like my jaw where it is. I also have two kids (4) and (2). I really dont want them growing up with "the dad without a face." sure there are lots of other reasons to quit, and I keep those in mind too. I dont want cancer, dont want to die, or any other health related problems assosiated with snuff
I could not IMAGINE quitting "cold turkey" before I ran across this site. But then, I read and see so many people able to do it everyday. I have 2 close family members that have smoked since they were 16, 17. They are now 71 and 64. I grew up with them saying " I quit smoking today" a million times. It never happened. I think thats why I have such a problem with quitting. Ever since my tiny little ass was in diapers I have seen at least one of those people smoke, and try to quit countless times. Now one of those people, I'm afraid to say, will probably be in serious trouble this year. Doing good now, but he had a scare this past month, and was diagnosed with cancer to his kidney and possibly his lung.
Well here I am.....just day one but I am here. I flushed a whole can this morning at around 5:00am. Sure hope I can kick it and keep kickin it. I just keep sayin to myself, "kill that fuckin can".
