Yesterday was first day without chew in 24 years. I have all of same issues of always going to quit but never finding right time. Yesterday I woke up and decided I was not going to have one. I still have a half full can and I figure if I can quit with that available it will stick. I think several attempts to quit in the past were hindered by not having it available and then semi-consciously buying and dipping before I knew what was going on. I have found thinking about the habit abstractly, like non-chewers see it, seems to help. It s ridiculous. I will say the first days of irritability, fog, and anxiousness are the real deal. I feel like I am in the fog after waking up from a NyQuil coma. I am not sharp and conversations are difficult. I am destroying boxes of lemon heads until smokey mountain order comes. Thanks for all the support I have received since joining.
