I started smoking cigs on the reg when I was 17 right after high school. I had tried smoking a few times before that but not everyday, probably started when I was 15, I remember trying my first dip around 14, boy I remember it making me sick. I was at a friends house when I was offered it by another friend that was there.

I went on to college and smoked. I thought I was cool never to know what I was doing to my body really, see both my parents smoked and I had always seen that. Anyway, got out of school kept smoking 15 years worth of nicotine and other drugs recreationally I partied my butt off until I was 32 that's when I met my wife stopped smoking and partying, started dipping, I had done it before just not everyday, the can was no stranger.

After 5 years of dipping everyday I said I was done that was 12 days ago! I got down on my knees and prayed to god saying lord please take this from me and he did, I do give Jesus the glory in my quit, I wouldn't have been strong enough to do it on my own

My life is totally different than it was when I was single now it's church, work, family time,

I have quite a few teenagers in my life that I kinda mentior I really started thinking about it and the reason for my quit was not only for me but it was strongly for the kids too, what kind of example was I setting?

So today I'm quit

So today I'm an addict

So today I promise not to use!

Romandog great story! I have no intension to cave, I think what bothers me is that I'm just like any other addict. I didn't know I was an addict , but I am that's hard to except, to know that I'm gonna have to battle this til the death! I'm sure it will get easier/better just hard to take it all in . I need to give a proper intro . I will when I get the time in the next little bit so you guys know morea out me, it looks like we are gonna have a long relationship!
^^^^^ Truth. ^^^^^

Man, you've learned some valuable stuff right there. I'm gonna bold your most important statement so far. You've realized that you're an addict. That means we can not have any nicotine at all. Even one little pinch will throw us right back into full-blown slavery. There is no such thing as "just one" for us.

Never again..... for any reason.

So I'm on day 23  am no where near that smart or experienced with quitting. I do know that I turned to 100% cranberry juice and beef jerky as replacements (last month I hated cranberry juice). My biggest issue has been that feeling of missing something. As soon as I realize that I'm missing nasty nicotine I do what I can to move on. Quit One Damn Day Atta Time  exercise exercise exercise
If that helps, do it.. Beef jerky, cranberry juice, gum, seeds..

Just remember that every moment you are a bit farther away from it.. It gets better.. Run hard.. Run fast. You can do this..

Alright guys, I feel like crap, I haven't had one thing to eat today. I did manage to get down about 3 bottles of water, I'm hungry. Now so as soon as the wife gets home we will go grab some grub maybe I will feel better.
When I first quit all I wanted to do was eat. I gained around 20 pounds after quitting. Drinking water will help you a lot, drink all the can. Exercise really help's with the cravings as well.

Wow kana I really just thought about that what you said, I too have been an addict my whole adult life! Wow! Yes it is cool to be re-newed!
You will continue to change. You are nowhere near done yet.

You are discovering who you really are.
I'm curious to see this guy I don't know!
Keep looking him in the mirror every morning.

The neat thing about it is you have a direct reflection on who and what the outcome will be.

Mold the clay in a manner you wish the final outcome to be....
