Hey everyone, I never used this site to join a support group or anything like that, but I do want to thank this community for all the resources it has on this topic. I quit cold turkey on 08/01/13 and just celebrated my first year of "killing the can"! I could not have gotten to that point without the articles on many different subjects on this site and just wanted to express my gratitude to this site!

Day 1 for me today. I have been through this before. I kind of know what to expect. The last time I tried to quit I made it 5 months. I gave in to the "one little dip" lie. Within a month I was back to a can a day. that was 3 years ago, and as of yesterday I was at just under 2 cans a day. i have been chewing for almost 20 years. This will be the last time that I quit. This is also the first time that I have used a forum like this. I am hoping that the added encouragment will help me stay quit this time for good. Excuse the short choppy writing. My head is kind of messed up right now and is really starting to pound. Oh well, I did this to myself so its time to make myself quit.

Your body is flushing poisons....Nasty crap that has been in your system ever since you started. It takes some time to "get clean"....you are lucky you are sleeping well...Early on, I was waking at 2am every night and couldn't get back to sleep.

Proverbs 18:2

"A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion."


A Quit Plan: Do you have one?


CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit.
After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco. SportDad 1/13/05

Warm summer sun, shine kindly here;
Warm southern wind, blow softly here;
Green sod above, lie light, lie light.-
Good-night, dear heart, good-night.

General quit discussion, questions, answers, etc.

Guests looking to quit looking for answers are welcome.
Hey Chewie, only been dippin' a few days now (since last friday)  I regret every day of it... Goin' on day two tomorrow  was only 1 - 2 pinches a day so I've never actually finished a tin. Plus it's expensive (30 bucks a tin) Anxiety REALLY sucks.. Should I be worried?
This has a slight smell of troll, but just in case it's your youthfulness Everyone who puts the poison in their body should worry, your to young for us. Everyone here will tell you throw the shit away and run from it. If not soon you will be finishing those tins, daily. If you truly are serious, read the HOF speeches and words of wisdom. You will learn that all of us wish we'd never had that first dip!
Will respond to your comment on the site as well, but I'd agree with Wt57 here... you're not "hooked" yet if you've only been dipping less than a week. Do yourself a favor and put it down and never look back.

Guests looking to quit looking for answers are welcome.
Hey Chewie, only been dippin' a few days now (since last friday)  I regret every day of it... Goin' on day two tomorrow  was only 1 - 2 pinches a day so I've never actually finished a tin. Plus it's expensive (30 bucks a tin) Anxiety REALLY sucks.. Should I be worried?
This has a slight smell of troll, but just in case it's your youthfulness Everyone who puts the poison in their body should worry, your to young for us. Everyone here will tell you throw the shit away and run from it. If not soon you will be finishing those tins, daily. If you truly are serious, read the HOF speeches and words of wisdom. You will learn that all of us wish we'd never had that first dip!
