Day 9 after 35 years a can a day

[RWBullet]

This weekend had the biggest test of my quit yet. Was out at the gun range with few of my buddies. Would have normally gone through 2 tins during this setting. As one of my friends puts a fat 1 in his lip, I just think about the contract and the thought of putting a fat 1 in is gone, poof! Then when he is not looking I sneak his tin away down range and proceed to disintegrate the bitch with my Benelli super nova tactical! he turns around and says WTF! where did my chew go, and I laugh pointing down range at the black mist floating in the air! Man did that feel good! flame1

RW, you would be surprised how many people quit nicotine because of a tooth! Ask me how I know - I was so afraid of "dry socket" after a tooth extraction that I forgot to be afraid of quitting nic! We should all put our dentists on our Christmas card list!

Already loving your spirit. Don't worry about the insomnia - it is a VERY common side effect early on but I promise it will not only go away - but eventually you will sleep more soundly than you have since you were ...well, were 15, I bet!

You can do this. You will do this. Just one day at a time. And we'll all do it together.

Proud to be quit with you today.

FLLIP (pm me for anything!)

Dale Earnhardt JR was asked today on twitter "have you ever dipped or chewed", he responded with once in high school and was sick for days, never tried it again.
I follow Dale on twitter so I chimed in with "Quitting cold turkey after 35 years of putting that poison in my lip, with a little help from my friends at killthecan.org 'oh yeah'

RWBullet,

The stories I have been reading all day are inspiring and I hope this journey of quit never ends!

Welcome and congrats on the decision. And remember this: each day you make that decision. You don't need hope when you are in control. Take your life back right now. You do this by posting roll every morning first thing. EDD

Found out about this site from a friend and I am thankful for this group.
I am 50 years old and have been dipping a can of cope a day since 15.
I lost a tooth in an accident a few days ago, and in the process of getting an implant.
Dentist said quit now or just give him the money I will paying for implant because it will fail if I dip while the implant heals.
My wife says maybe she should have just knocked a tooth out a long time ago lol!
Anyways I am on day 9 of this journey, and the toughest part has been the sleepless nights.
I have already been contacted by a member to help me along, thanks net gain that was kind of u brother!
