Hey guys im Pat, i am 21 year old and tomorrow will be my first day quit.
I have been chewing for almost 4 years now, i started in my senior year of high school and it really picked up when i got to college a year later. I was dong at least a tin of Grizzy wintergreen pouches a day (3 pouches at a time), now after a failed quit i am only doing two pouches at a time and much less. I tried to quit a couple months ago using nicorette but sadly i caved after about two and a half weeks. I just graduated college on May 18th and i am currently still up at school to finish two classes to obtain a Minor. I think this would be a good time to quit. All i have is two classes and no other obligations. The main concern i had was the last time i had tried to quit i had bad insomnia, i went about two whole days with no sleep and that really sent my anxiety over the edge. I tend to be a hypochondriac sometimes and most of the time i just freak myself out about stress i create myself. I feel like i will be able to deal with the cravings and irritation but i am so worried about not sleeping. I heard good things about the site and i wanted to give a brief introduction to myself and my story.
