Today is my fifth day of one day at a time, being quit. At the moment I'm sitting in my truck waiting for my next softball game to start. I have no urge at all to chew. Last week this time, it would have been automatic that I'd be filling up a coffee cup with poison spit. Truthfully I never really enjoyed my chews at the ball park. I would have such a dry and sore mouth that I would spit chews out within five minutes, only to pack a fresh one in moments later. Not chewIng, although the smart thing to do, wouldn't have been an option.

I knew it since my first year of dipping I am a huge addict. Not only would I get almost no satisfaction out of a dip, I was living pay check to pay check, largely due to the fact that i was spending a fortune on the shit! Being quit, the savings has been enjoyable, but it is secondary to my health. I had no illusions, chew was ripping my face off. After waking up from every sleep my mouth was as dry as the Sahara desert. Sores in my mouth had become so common they would go unnoticed.

I had wanted to quit chew for probably the last 1000 tins. I almost never made it for more than 8 hours. Finding this site has allowed me to be quit. I know damn well I am an addict and that means A part of me is going to really want a chew. But I am positive tht I can put my name on roll call each and every morning and stay tobacco free for that day. One day is very possible and one day is all I care about. Quitting with the rest of you!

When I started the Tins were smaller and only 8 bucks. Lasted a lot longer back then.

Welcome aboard AL! Wow $20 a tin?!?!?!? You can get a log in my area for about that if you are off post! I remember that when I posted my first introduction I was saying that one of my problems with feeding my addiciton was that chew is too cheep in the military! I'm in the Army and at the Post Exchange you can buy copenhagen wintergreen for $2.75 a tin! About as cheep as a cup of coffee!

Well......use the thoughts of the money you are saving to help you stay quit!

Proud to be quit with you today!

Welcome to the group. Today is day 5 for me and day 3 of being part of this site. The support here amazing. It is really cool to be able to reach out to your brothers and support them and they support you in return.

Holy crap 20$ a tin? How did you even start.. I couldn't muster that much cheddar when I was 15 to save my life.

Big Al,

You should use the day counter/ savings tracker on www.killthecan.org. I just hit $200 on day 89 (I chewed the cheap shit). You will hit that by day 10.

It is nice to see all the money you are saving by not wasting it on garbage. Keep up the good work.

You can do this. Reach out for help if you need to.

[luby]

Welcome you have come to the right place, we are all in the same fox hole fighting this. Post roll and join the fight. I will quit with you. I am moving all over these days but I am a Seattle native and Puget Sound born and bred so I have always felt a kindred spirit to our Canadian neighbors in the Great NW.

Proud to quit with you.

Put that pay check where it has long been deserving to go. Whether it be a savings jar, car payment, or a new set of golf clubs. You are no longer feeding the nicotine bitch and you're for damn sure not paying for any Big Tobacco execs pension. You are living for yourself. Be proud and be strong.

Clear head, full heart, can't lose


Best,
JMAC
