I'm calling today day 2. I started the quit last Friday when I ran out and got some of those nicotine lazanges. Didn't have a chew all weekend and ran into this site on Monday. Read the advice on the nic replacements, that made sense to me, so I threw away everything I had. I've been cold turkey since yesterday.
This is my second quit. First time I got about 4 or 5 months in. Was great. No fake stuff, no nic supplements. Was totally off it. One bad day at work, a little extra stress in my life got me back on it for a few more years.
All in all, been dipping since I was 17 and I just turned 30. Just sick of it. Sick of the hassel of always having to feed the cravings. Always having to run to the gas station. Always having spitters lying around the house, in the car, in my office. Always having to make sure I don't leave the house without the can because lord knows I couldn't make it through the day without tossing one in. Fuck it. I just want to be done.
My only fear is that I'm never gunna get anything done now because I've associated dipping my everything in my life (except sex thank god). I can't yet see how I'll accomplish anything without a dip. I'm sure I'll have to relearn most everything.
Even though I've already got a bunch of sores in my mouth, I was surprised to not have my mouth taste like a bag of shit when I woke up this morning. There's my first benefit of being quit.
Welcome aboard chucklehead!!

You already know the power of the NicBitch. She teases you into thinking that your stressed and could use a dip. Or that you can handle "just one".
You can't. Your an addict.
