7 Days! One Week! Happy to have found this place! Thankful for all of the support from the "veterans"! Proud to be quit with all of you!!!

Here is what I know so far:

$$$ Saved: 7 days*1 can/day*$5.50 = $38.50.

Lies told: ZERO!!!

Hours stayed up past bedtime getting a "peace and quiet" dip and mountain dew after everyone in the house has gone to bed: ZERO!!!

The money saved isn't too bad and a good start. The last two are PRICELESS!!!

On day 4 today. Doing good so far. Plenty of water being consumed. Not bragging and don't want to piss anyone off, but I haven't hit the fog yet. Definitely don't want to brag because I know it's coming!! Just stating the facts because I know everyone's different and the body handles changes differently. I've been a little more on edge at times but for the most part I'm comfortable with my quit.

Definitely helped so far that I told my wife and that she understands what is going on. Had a good test last night. Did a late night run to the grocery store for some last minute stuff. That is usually when I would grab some mountain dew and a can of Kodiak and then wait until everyone is asleep and break out the goods. Walked right past the dew and didn't think twice about heading to the tobacco checkout aisle. That tells me that I'm on board for this quit unlike the other times I tried on my own. I would have caved in seconds.

Thanks to my August quit group and the accountability factor, I do not want to let them down.

Thanks again everyone. Making me stronger in my quit just typing this.

Thank you for everyone on this forum. I'm gonna need your help.

Started with Red Man in college. Then went to Kodiak after. Been chewing since college. I am 47 now w/ 4 kids. From high school senior to 2nd grader. Doing about a can a day. My life revolves around my chew and my mountain dew and not my wife and kids like it should. Hiding it from them for the most part. They all see me do it on long road trips. The boys (7, 11 & 15) see me do it at home when the wife and daughter are not home. The 15 yr. old is special needs so I don't worry about him ever doing it. The younger boys cannot see me do it any longer. Also keeps me up late at night to chew and Dew undisturbed while everyone else is sleeping. Is a problem with work because I wake up late and get to the office late. I'm tired at the office and work quality suffers. End up coming home late and don't see the family as much as I should. Then they go to bed and the cycle starts again.

Ugh!! Finally done with it. Quitting both cold turkey tomorrow. My health and my family will be better for it!!!
