Day two and things are already tougher than I thought.  Definitely missing the sensation of having a dip in my mouth.  Has anyone had success with the non tobacco herbal chews?  Or maybe similar substitutions to fill the oral fixation?  I have problems with my jaw and unfortunately cannot chew sunflower seeds.

One thing that really surprises me is I'm (as hard as it is to admit) scared to quit.  The idea of having to go without a chew for the rest of my life seems like one of the hardest challenges I'll ever face.

Maybe I'm building this up to be more than it really is, but I can tell this is going to take all of me to kick this habit.

A lot of people use the herbal chew with great success. Fireballs are good too. What's the matter with your jaw?
Kev,
It's only as hard as you let it be. Take it personally and get mad at nicotine. She is trying to kill you.
Of course your scared. Your scared that you can't do this, that you can't beat the nic bitch. But you can. When those craves get tough, you gotta get tougher. Take a few deep breaths and it will pass. But if you cave....that will not pass. It will get better but take everything as it comes and crawl all over this sight.

Sending you a PM with my digits. Let me know if you need anything.

That fear dies down quickly once you start doing the routine "dip activities" without them. At the beginning I told myself "how can I do ___ without nic"? Easy, you just do it. Then it becomes the norm. That idea of "how can I last forever without nic" is simply addiction speak. Don't worry about forever, we quit one day at a time and that's all you need to focus on - today.

Stay strong and stay quit. Welcome to KTC (:

I applaud you for being smart enough to give up the death weed early and sure as hell wish I would of done the same. I like your thought of starting a new chapter in your life but remember to just worry about today. Post everyday, use the tools provided and get some phone numbers.

First things first, you need to post roll. PM if you need help.

Hello all. I wouldn't consider myself to be good at things like this, but here it goes. I'm Kevin from Colorado. I am 23 years old and have been chewing for about 5 years now. Reading through other stories, it seems like I have been chewing a small amount of time, but I feel stopping that number at 5 could save my life.

I am about to graduate from school in mechanical engineering and have my whole life ahead of me. I see this as starting a new chapter in my life and this change would be the best imaginable start for me.

I've tried doing this on my own a few times, but failed in my attempts. I think my failures rooted in me having no one to connect with on what I am going through and that's what brings me here.

Today is the beginning of a tobacco free life for me and I thank you all in advance for helping me through this.

Kevin
