So...I've been chewing for about 20 plus years now.  When I say that, it's hard to believe it's been that long!  Really?  20 plus years? 

Anyway, it's really starting to freak me out how dependent I am on chew.  Not only that, but the thought of getting cancer or having part of my jaw removed really scares the piss out of me.  Mint Skoal.  I go through about a tin every 2-3 days and when I'm at work or in public, I use Nicorette.  Oh yeah, been addicted to Nicorette for about 5 years.  That started when I was actually trying to quit chewing, but I only lasted about a week off chew.

I actually need to quit both the chew and the Nicorette, so this is going to be some serious stuff.  Right now, I'm chewing telling myself this will be the last tin...that's it...done.  I'm going to flush the rest of it. 

Anyway, I get canker sores fairly regularly because I drink a lot of fresh vegetable and fruit juice.  Obviously though, it could be from chewing and Nicorette as well...I'm sure that doesn't help!  I go to the dentist regularly and he says that everything is healthy and looks good, so that keeps me thinking "I'm good...he would notice something is messed up".  I think I'm lying to myself.  There's something inside me that tells me that it's time to put this habbit to bed.  I've been sober for almost 5 years and I know how quitting a substance goes.  If I quit this, I've pretty much quit everything which scares me.  I've always done something that's bad for me.

So here I am...posting this...introducing myself.  I need all the support I can get.  Would love to hear from people...anyone...especially the guys out there who chewed for as long as I have and gave it up.

OK, this is happening.  I bought some regular gum and that's all I've got after I flush this (Nicorette is gone too).

Thanks for reading and I'm so glad there is a support system out there!
I chewed for 15 years, am 266 days quit and feel better than I ever have. I went through 2 cans of Kodiak A DAY!!!! There are bad ass quitters here who chewed for 40 years.

You're very wise to quit and even wiser to join this community. We will support you to no end.. but we will also kick you in the ass and offer up tough love as well.

For now read every single word in the WELCOME CENTER. It will explain role and how to post it. It is the backbone of this site.

Keep adding to your intro as a quit journal. You want to rage, cry, bitch, complain, celebrate, talk about ANYTHING...come here and you will get support.

Welcome to the site. Put your helmet on and tighten up the chin strap, its a bumpy ride, especially in the beginning, but worth every second of suck.

Time to put that crap down bro. Time to come out of the shadows and take your freedom back, take your life back. Time to grow the fuck up.

Never again for any reason.

I just flushed my last tin and I've got nothing left of any sort of nicotine in my house.  Doesn't this count as "NIC FREE"?  Guess I've got the wrong idea about what introduce yourself means on this community.
Was just going by your last post, it sounded like you still had a big fat juicy dip of death in your lip. If you are quit then like I said go to the Welcome Center and start reading brother. Post roll in the June quit group and get your ass back here tomorrow and do the same.
Cool...will do. Sorry, completely new to this site but I'll take the advice. thanks

So this is a nicotine free site bud. If you are using Nic right now that shit has to go. This is not a pep talk site about why we think you should think about quitting. Quit using chewing tobacco and then come post roll in June quit group, then let's get down to why you should stay quit.
