Hi all. Well chewing is (was) my dirty little secret that my wife didn't know about. Last week on 12/17/2014 I didn't realize I was taking my last pinch of cope. On 12/18/2014 I had my wisdom teeth pulled, and as I was laying there I could here the surgeon telling my wife that he could tell I chewed and that I cant chew for at least 3 weeks. Needless to say she was not happy hearing any of that information.
At first when she was telling me all this, my first thought was, three weeks are you kidding me? What a jerk I am, especially since I've been wanting to quit I just haven't. So I guess here goes nothing.
I work in law enforcement, which means long hours and shift work. Chewing to me was something that would keep me awake, get me through the long drives and or long hours in processing. I am 31 years old and have been chewing for about six years now. I have a very addictive personality and I know that this is going to be difficult but at the same time I would rather deal with quitting then the consequences of continuing to chew.
All in all I am about a week into quitting and tonight I bought a can of pouches. I put in 2 of them and really began to feel sick almost right away. Good or bad, I'm not sure but that's when I found KTC and am making my decision to quit once and for all. I am going to need some serious help though from you guys if that's not too much to ask for. Thanks in advance!
