This is a great place to start but you better get some more confidence.

There are tons of things you can try, sunflower seeds, herbal fake snuff (see the reviews on the site), carrots, celery, suckers, whatever. Just don't put that friggin poison in your mouth again.

You need it to be different this time, then make it different! Did you print and read the contract??? If you did then that should be pretty damned sufficient to help you make this quit different.

Quote from: Candoit
I was confronted by my wife this morning. And I have been thinking of quitting, but I find that I can not find the will power to follow through. It is usually a stressful event or situation that I go running for a tin. I know that I am addicted to the oral part of this habit. I can not stand chewing gum so I find it hard to find something to replace the sensation. I have tried life savers (wintergreen) to replicate the taste and feel, but I end up chewing them and go through a bag in about 3 hours. Any tips and support in this area would be great.

I have been using on and off since college. I ALWAYS fall off.... But I need this to be different for me and my relationship. I want to prove that I can do it to myself and my wife.

Thanks

You are an addict. To a substance as addictive as heroin.

You can chew sequoia trees or a turkey leg, but the hard fact is that the first few days - about 3 - are flat out hell. You are going through withdrawal of a powerful neurotoxin. Here is done good news... You do not NEED nicotine to live. Your brain will try to trick you into thinking that you do... But the only thing nicotine helps is taking away the withdrawal of not using nicotine. One more thing... Yeah it blows at first, but you'll only go thru it once.

Here we quit one day at a time. Today you quit for today. You put your name on the October roll and by god you keep your word. You do not let yourself or your brothers down. You don't have regret about yesterday, or worry about tomorrow. Your brothers (and a sister or 2) will support you just as you support them. You can go this bud. If I can, you sure as hell can.

Your wife loves you. She cares. But you will have to quit because you want to and are ready to quit. If I can help, don't hesitate to let me know.
