Hey Everyone - I am on Day 12 and feeling better. It is crazy how a girl-tomboy/model in her early years started chewing and didn't quit until April 24th, 2015. 28 years of crazy shit. Tried other times, 3 exactly. Once with patches and that didn't last long. I started chewing while wearing the patch. Another cold turkey and lasted 14 days but when you don't have support and feel like the only woman on earth with this problem you fail! The last time was last year and quit for 3 months with help from a hypnosis. Still doing this on my own wasn't working. I felt broken and no one close to me could understand.
I am here now and know that this is ODAAT. My husband, Mom, and oldest son (11) supports me and is proud I have made it this far. Sure they are hoping this is the last time and I can only tell them "today I have promised to not use chew."
It's amazing how strangers sharing an experience(s), a common challenge, etc. can come together as a team and be successful. Thank you so much to all the men and woman. I would not be on Day 12 without your blind friendship that is all based on one similarity-we are addicted to the evil nic.
I look forward to forging long term relationships from helping eachother, each day. I quit with you! I am to old to chew and to young to die.
