24 and thinking of Quitting

[iizphilister]

Go cold turkey. Period. End of discussion. Trust me, its gonna suck. Bad. But that's part of it. Remember, no one forced you to take that first dip and no one made you keep putting it in your mouth.

Learn this site and how things are done around here. But throw that crap away now. All of it.....

My God man dump that shit...fake dip might work for you and you can use that while on this site but you can't use the nic gum or anything like that...one day at a time...post roll every day, for the first 3-5 days you are going to suck and you need to quit one hour at a time...maybe even a half hour at a time...now tell us a bit about yourself...married? what was your brand of poison? how often did you use the poison?

Now bite your lip and give it hell!!!!

Hello all,

I am 24 years old and I have been using tobacco for about 5 years. Switched strictly to chewing tobacco (Grizzly) about 3 years ago. I am very active and physically fit, but my one vice is chewing tobacco. Recently (within the last month), I have been experiencing extreme chest pains. Needless to say this encouraged me to finally look in the mirror and admit to myself that I am really addicted. It hasn't been easy, and with a young family the repercussions for my actions/choices are starting to become real.

I have looked into several alternatives to chewing, and I am looking for more experienced "quitters" to advise:
1. Cold turkey (no smokey mountain, gum, seeds, lozenges, etc.)
2. Nicotine lozenges
3. Smokey Mountain
4. Gum, seeds, etc (any non-nicotine or Smokey mountain like product)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have half a can left of Grizzly, and I am thinking that it is time I call it quits.

Cheers

Advice? Flush it and Post Roll Call....immediately before that addict mind of yours kicks in and steers you away from the place.

Go Cold Turkey sugar....get it over with. Anything less is prolonging the inevitable.

Go.

You're in the right place. You're going to get some great feedback here. All I will add is when you are struggling (and you will), chat is a great distraction. The link is on the upper right and says "Live Chat". It's a great way to get to know people and strengthen your quit.

Also, awesome decision! One of the most liberating things you can do is flush that half can. I was a smoker and I submerged my last half pack in water and let it disintegrate. Incredibly empowering to not smoke every last one!
