New to the group and first time post. My quit day was November 6,2012 61 Days ago, my 2 year olds birthday. I've dipped since age 16 for 16 years which is half of my life. Tried to quit a few times but only lasted a day here and there. I tried using nicotine gum but have been addicted to that for about 4 years and just used it to get me between dips. Even chewing 100+ pieces of gum per week I was still chewing 1-1.5 cans per day. Cold turkey was the only option. I am greatful to have found this site as I have no doubt I would have failed without it. When the cravings come it's nice to know that others have had the same issues. Especially around day 50 I was shocked at how bad the cravings were. But I was happy that they were 50 days in and not 2. I look forward to remaining quit for the rest of my life for my self, son, wife and family and I love the feeling of not being a slave to nicotine!
