Well, I planned on quitting tomorrow (New Year Resolution), but after reading and following the suggestions in the Welcome Center and reading some of the stories I thought screw it, I'm quitting right now. I've been chewing for 26 years. It started when I was 19 y.o. and in the military, and the only two times I've stopped was for a few days because I needed to get a blood test for a life insurance policy and a few years ago when I thought I wanted to quit and tried using a prescription anti-anxiety medication to help which made me feel way too messed up so I was back on chewing after 5 days. My wife wants me to quit, but doesn't pressure me. My kids want me to quit but don't hassle me and right now, honestly, I am afraid I am going to fail because since I started I truly never stopped. As I write this my mind is thinking about all those comfortable moments with a chew in my mouth, which is odd because I will go hours without chewing for any variety of reasons and not start thinking about that when I wasn't planning on quitting. I've thought about this so many times over the years, thinking I had to get my mind in the right place first, but, I am starting to think that isn't possible so let's just do this. I appreciate your help.
