Bryce, get back to quit, post roll and stick with it.

Anxiety is common. Reach out to your quit group and get some digits and advice on how to handle it. Nicotine is a tough addiction to overcome, but you can do it.

Read on this site, understand what you face, grab your sack and take your life back from this weed!

Thats guys for the support. I know it won't hurt to keep going but its the constant worrying that's killing me. Also the aniexty from the addiction really messes me up. Throughout the day without chew i fell so like antsy? I'm sure you guys know exactly what im talking about. Also like my head. My head when im trying to think with chew i think that it helps me focus. Maybe that is true because nicotine is a stimulant but its an addictive quality none the less. Not trying to make up bs excuses here. Gotta be honest here. I did end up relapsing today. But i think this is a great step. Before i head out tonight i wlll throw away my chew. I wanna be strong enough for this. That you both for the kind words before i relapsed today i should've came here and looked at the comments.

Everyday is a struggle with addiction. And i'm scared as hell what i'm doing to myself.

Give you guys also some info. I took a Spanish exam (nicotine free) and i actually remember a lot of stuff. I think that maybe the nicotine messes with my memory as well as making me lazy. Maybe that is a complete lie but i think its pretty true.

What also bad is i have friend whos addicted too, full fledged dip in his lip and i'm looking at him like wtf are you doing. young marine guy, i mean i know its not my life but i know whats hes going through and how bad this crap really is.

You know out of college, i wanna do stuff go travel be in shape be addiction free or heck get an addiction that isn't with tobacco or a drug. maybe get addicted to exercise something that'll be healthier.

Bryce today is your day 1 and great job posting roll. From my prospective as a 4+ decade addict your list has 1 reason that will stick. "You don't want to be a slave. I used the other reasons but accepted tooth loss, one at s time. I accepted surgery, gum grafts fixed my receding gums. As for cancer, your still young. A few more weeks, years won't hurt. I remember! I'm sure you can hide your shameful little "habit" by going total ninja, i did. There are lots of side benefits of taking your freedom back but ultimately quitting to reclaim your freedom is number 1. It will also put a true smile on that young face.

Get to know your quit group and get some of their digits. Quit at 23 and be free, I chewed for 17 years, so $30000 and $2000 of dental work later I came here. Do it right and never look back.

For Good. Lets go.
« on: January 22, 2016, 02:07:00 AM »
Hello, my names Bryce and i have been using chewing tobbaco for about 7 years? I have started to see the consequences with one my tooth exposing it roots. When i went to the dentist first time in 3 years they said that if i keep going imma lose that tooth and probably end up with cancer. Throughout this entire year at college i have tried to quit and quit and quit. One of the biggest things just hit me today because i really like a girl and have a thing. Concidently last time i quit i'm pretty sure i had a girlfriend. Im 23 for the record here. I'm thinking again and again about well one more dip one more dip and honestly whats one more dip when i know imma get cancer everytime and lose my teeth end up getting surgery and who the hell is gonna wanna date that. I still consider myself young and i look like im 18. Doubt i look like that after surgery, with a lip, teeth, jaw and whatever else missing. Today is my day 1 again i wrote a little list of white a quit .

-Afraid of mouth cancer
-Don't want a messed up smile
-Don't want surgery and a messed up face
-Don't wanna be a slave

I am buying pizza tonight to celebrate and i did chew today. But the next two days i am gonna be out doing stuff and not around and im gonna put that "contract to give up" right next to my wallet. Instead of in it. On top of it. Maybe that'll help.

My friend that got me into chewing, last time i talked to him said he quit with candy, jolly ranchers and sunflower seeds. I have sunflower seeds, not jolly ranchers though. Any recommendations for candy or something?

Also if anyone could help me on this journey with someone to talk too or to talk me out of a dip. I'd appreciate it.
Thanks for reading this,
Bryce
