I am addicted to nicotine.

I started smoking around age 16, and smoked for ten years. After numerous failed attempts at quitting, one day it finally worked. I kicked the cigarette habit, but fed the nicotine addiction with Nicorette. Lots of Nicorette. Finally after a few months, I needed to cut down on the gum.

Every now and then, I would notice a buddy or co-worker taking a dip of something or other. Hey, can I try that? ItÃ,’s harmless, right? At least IÃ,’m not smoking cigarettes. Cigarettes are bad for your health. Besides, I wonÃ,’t get hooked on the stuff. Just a little bump to help me get over the Nicorette.

The details are hazy, but I gradually made the switch from Nicorette to the can. I tried one, tried another, bummed from a buddy, eventually got hooked all the way. I had a can with me at all times. I would do what it took to make sure I had my can.

Over all those years, I made several half hearted attempts at quitting. I knew what I was doing was wrong. I knew it causes cancer. Oh well, IÃ,’ll still have my lungs.

Finally, in December 2015, I decided I would quit. This stuff is no good. I have a lovely wife and three beautiful children. I need to get my act together. IÃ,’m doing this. ItÃ,’ll be a New YearÃ,’s resolution. January 1, I quit.

New YearÃ,’s Eve was on a Thursday, and we loaded up the family and traveled several hours to a friendÃ,’s house, to ring in the new year. We had a few beverages, of course we stayed up past midnight to ring in the new year, and of course I still had a cat turd in my mouth.

Next morning, New YearÃ,’s Day, I woke up with a bit of a hangover, splashed some cold water on my face, and faced the day. Then I noticed the can, sitting there. Then I remembered that I was quitting, January 1. And the bitch started whisperingÃ,… you were up after midnight last night, so quitting for today is shot anywayÃ,… thereÃ,’s most of a can left thereÃ,…. youÃ,’ve had thousands of cans before, another wonÃ,’t make any differenceÃ,….

So I dived right in, stuffed the poison in my face.

Since it was the weekend, we decided to stay another night at our friendsÃ,’ house. We had a few beverages, of course we stayed up past midnight, and of course I still had a cat turd in my mouth.

Next morning, the bitch came back. The can is almost empty. And look at you, January 2 is already shot. You know you were dipping past midnight. Just finish off the can, throw it away. Good to go.

And I looked at myself. I said, this is bullshit. YouÃ,’re lying to yourself. We traveled home then, and I tossed the can in one of those trash cans next to the gas pumps.

We got home after awhile, and I realized thereÃ,’s no tobacco in the house. I could go to the nearest gas station, itÃ,’s 5 minutes away. The clerks there know my poison of choice.

Instead, I got on the computer, opened a search engine, and typed, Ã,“how to quit chewing tobaccoÃ,”

You're doing great rewire keep it up! Damn proud to be quit with you! Quit on!

Glad you made it here brother. Reading your story brought me back to countless NYEs, birthdays, kid's births, kid's birthdays and a dozen other occasions I was going to quit. Amazing how we were ruled by that stuff.

Quit on Brother. You are dead right that you are addicted to nicotine - but you are in the perfect place and time to quit. Do it now. You are not alone and we can help.

Bad ass. I just checked how many posts you have. Surround yourself eith brotherhood and accountability... And win. You are winning.

Quit with you today.

Congrats on the quit.
I quit with you today brother.

I’ve picked up a lot of this following you on Facebook. I’m glad you’re finding happiness. BTW, your day count is off in April. You should be 20 days ahead of me.
