I have decided I am done with this beast of a habit and after 15 years giving up the pinch between the cheek and gum! I've tried in the past to quit with no avail, but I am determined to stick it out and and get through this! My 11th wedding anniversary will be at the 101 day mark and I am going to make it dip free until then and for the rest of my life! I look forward to hearing from all the others folks out there that have fought this battle and continue to fight it and hope I can provide support to you as well as reap the support that you may have to offer!

JPG,
First of all congratulations on making a great decision.
First, go post roll in your group (Pre-HOF January 2014). Post roll every day as early as possible. That is your promise to quit on that day. Don't do this half-assed, commit to it.
Second, strap in because it is not easy. You are about to face the "suck". The suck duration varies in time but expect about a week, maybe more. Nicotine will be out of your system within about 5 days. Find yourself an alternative (fake dip, seeds, gum, jolly ranchers, life savers, etc.). Drinks mass quantities of water, then drink some more.
Third, prepare your lovely wife by letter her see the spousal support section on here, you will need her support.
Fourth, control your anger. This affects almost all of us, remember that you caused you to be an addict. Do not take your emotions out on anyone else. When you get so mad you want to scream go out into the woods and let out a primal scream. Go workout or find a physical activity to push yourself.
Fifth, use the site. Get to know people, get their phone numbers. Contribute to other's quits as it will help your quit grow stronger as well.
Sixth, quit like a beast every day. Worry about tomorrow only when it is today. Today is what you focus on all day. Then tomorrow repeat the same. Looking ahead can get your quit in trouble and cause a cave.
Finally, if I can ever be of assistance PM me on here, or if you want shoot me your number. I am here to help.
