I'm with you Drawn, I promise. And so is everyone else here. These guys are serious. They all know exactly how tough it is.

We're with you. Welcome to day 1. Go post in the roll call thing can join the July group. I'm in June, but I still check July. Go join. Promise never to use nicotene again.

You're gonna feel like shit. Welcome to the club! We meet here everyday. Stay long enough and you might get a cool jacket or something. :)

... I do cheat a couple of times a day with the upper lip in an attempt to wean myself down from the 600 mg/day level I was at.  It is starting to get easier to avoid the can but it seems I need those 2-3 chews a day just to motivate me by having something to look forward to.
...

That was by far the biggest hurdle for me to get over in the beginning: the feeling that I was missing out on something and that I was being cheated because I wasn't able to get that nicotine-buzz. That part of it goes away very quickly, so just put your head down and plow through it. The nicotine withdrawals lasted four days for me and the feeling of being cheated of my nicotine buzz lasted about 2-3 weeks.

You will never come to a time that feels like it is the perfect time to quit; it will always feel wrong to stop and that's one of the key elements of the nicotine trap.

The only perfect time is right now. Seriously. Spit out the chew if you have one in, post up a day-1 in the July quit group promising not to use any more nicotine today, and keep your word.

You can do this.

Well spoken 64.

Pony up Drawn its never going to happen if you keep on downsizing the dip. Just toss it. you gotta make this thing about you (your quit is for you). Day 10 for me if you asked me 10 days ago I would have told you no fuckin way I would make it this long. But I did and its getting easier (not easy) but easier. Throw your can away and kick the nic bitch in the face..... HARD....


I will stay quit
No nic 4 me
its a Fine, Fine day to quit

A month ago I went to the doctor for a sore mouth and to get medication to quit chewing, she complied and referred me to an ENT due to the condition of my mouth. I was informed by him that although he is unable to feel anything cancerous at this time due to the condition of my mouth, it was full of pre-cancerous cells and if I was to continue it is not a matter of if but when I will develop cancer. Addiotionally, due to the cells in my mouth now there is a likelyhood I will develop it anyway. He wants me back in 2 months to re-assess me and biopsy if needed. With a wife and 3 little kids that seems like a pretty strong motivator right. Fortunately for me a friend tipped me off to you guys and I found someone who knows how tough it is. I had back surgery about 5 years ago and was on pain medicine for 15 months regularly. I was able to kick that no problem (the DT's sucked but they only lasted about 3 days, then I started to almost get a high just knowing I didn't need them anymore) and besides I needed a prescription SA and 7-11 don't sell percocet and oxycontin.
While I have slowed to a crawl and no longer allow it to touch my lower lip I do cheat a couple of times a day with the upper lip in an attempt to wean myself down from the 600 mg/day level I was at. It is starting to get easier to avoid the can but it seems I need those 2-3 chews a day just to motivate me by having something to look forward to.
I have been chewing for 20 years averaging 2 cans a day with an average of 3 cans a day for about the last 3 years. I am trying wellbutrin now, I have patches and gum but have been staying away from them knowing that essentially all I am doing is prolonging what I will eventually have to do anyway. I have people around that would support me but they just don't get it, they don't know how hard it truly is and as a result really have no idea how to support me.
Here it is boys...... I laid it all out there for the first time ever, any help or advice you guys can give me would be great, I cannot post day 1 yet but really want to..........

Thanks,
Devin

Set a quit date- like tomorrow- register here- dump all your stashes of chew- inform wife and kids- take day 3 off from work if need be- post roll tomorrow and start living your life. It is going to be hell for a while but you can do it. We will all help. There are some great guys in July so get to it!

PS your body will heal if you STOP dipping now!

[Brad64]

First: You did the right thing coming here. This place helps.

Second: Forget the past. You can't change it.

Third: Stop chewing right now. Throw all of that shit away. RIGHT NOW. Throw it somewhere so you won't go rummaging through the garabge for it later tonight. No excuses. No buts. No what if's. It's all bullshit until you quit.

Now join me in hell. And I don't want you to quit just so you can suffer like me, no, I'm not that petty.

Yes I am that petty. But I also want you to quit because I know you can. I'm on day 3. It sucks. It sucks like a ten dollar crack whore. And I despise every second of it. But we're gonna get through it.

If I can get past day 1, so you can you.

If I can get past day 2, so can you...

You get the picture.
