as I start writing this it has been 51 hours and 32 minutes since my last dip, these cravings are the most insane things I have ever had in my life. I started around the time I was 18 and I am now 20. I have been noticing my gums are recessing more and more over the short 2 year span that I have been dipping and I really don't want to suffer the same fate as my Grandfather (smoker/small cell lung cancer). I was at work and it really hit me how stupid I look with a fat lip and black crap all in my teeth so I spit the wad out and decided not to put any more in. I am not going to lie, I have been using an E-cigarette with 6mg of Nicotine to help with the cessation of it. I am not sure if it's cheating or looked down upon however it really helps me take the edge off. Between the e-cig and a handful of sunflower seeds I have successfully been able to conquer the cravings. My name is Tyler by the way. I hope to reach 100 days, I even gave my self and incentive that once I reach the 100 day mark i'll buy myself a new car without having to worry about spilling my can, spit cup, and other nasty things all over the place leaving my car smelling bad. hope to get to know a lot of you on the journey from hell.
Have to agree with Applejack Tyler. Cold turkey is the only way to go. You have to do this quit for you and for nobody else. The e cig is still putting nicotine in your body and you will never be quit until you stop ingesting the nic whore's shit. As a 36 year user I can tell you it will be a bitch the first few days.
But I also will promise you that it will get better if you just stick to the KTC plan. Post roll, keep your word, and repeat the next day.
When the withdrawls get really bad, just follow Tazbutane's advice. Take out your junk and slam your sack in a desk drawer. you will forget all about having a dip for quite some time.
Cheers my friend, and welcome to the Suck! embrace it, remember it because you never want to be here again!
