Hang in there, jtisch. There seems to be a fairly sizable group of us that are right there with you in terms of having single digit days under their belts. Don't be afraid to reach out, and keep up the good fight.

Hello all I am here to show my desire to quit once and for all.

Some history ... I have been chewing for 30 yrs, quit a couple of times, but each time I would cave-in/justify and start again I chewed even more than before I quit!

I am a tin of Copenhagen a day chewer. Over the last year and half I have been battling with several random visits to the ER for nausea and vomiting. My addiction is such that I was able to justify and say to myself, "it's not the chew". I was dead wrong! It took me a year and a half to finally believe and correlate that my sickness is due to chew even though doctors were telling me to quit!

No more 'Finger'

I am pledging as of today, no more chew, my last can has been destroyed and I can already feel the anxiety setting in.

I'm coming here for support from my brothers and sisters and hopefully be able to help others when I can, but I believe in my heart that I can do this.

Bare with me as I learn my way around here and how things work. I am wondering if any 2014 class's exists, or am I misunderstanding how the classes work?

At any rate, expect to see me here often and thank you so much for being here.

First of all welcome the site can be confusing to navigate...the important part is to find your group show up here everyday and get involved. The stronger you make your quit foundation the better off you will be. This is not going to be a fun ride but you can do it we quit for today only.

Here are a few things that you may want to think about along your journey...1 can of cope has as much nicotine in it as TWO packs of smokes....know any 2 pak a day smokers well if you do you wont know them long.

Next you have never quit before you just stopped you were in what we call a stoppage. We quit only once!!!!!!!!!!!

Get numbers from people its not ghey or weird its the start of your tool bag that you are building that will get you through this mother fucker.

PM me if you need anything.

I was where you are 45 days ago and I have survived. These next couple of days are going to suck! Get some gum, hard candy or even suckers, that's what I used, and embrace the suck! Post roll each and every day and read all you can on here. You can do this and I'm proud to be quit with you today!

welcome - tighten up your jockstrap cause the next 72hous are going to suck putty balls...but that's the price that's gotta be paid. Everybody on here has gone through it and come out the other side...and guess what you will to. Drink as much water or juice as humanly possible, read every thing you can in this site and try to exercise. This will be the best decision you'll ever make. I'm on day 42 after using this f...ing poison for 34 years. I'm a PM away if needed.

Welcome. Great job posting roll call. Now all you have to do is keep your word today and repeat tomorrow.

It's gonna suck until it doesn't. But it will get better. Just power through.

Yell if you need anything.

Welcome jtisch,

First off let me tell you, you picked a good place to quit, the people here WILL hold you accountable.

There is so much information on this site, make sure you post roll EVERY day, no exceptions, make connections with other people
and you'll do great.

I'm going on 100 days quit in a week and let me tell you theres no better feeling, there will be some sucky days ahead in the beginning, but just plow through them and you'll be fine


Quit on!
