I pulled the trigger and quit cold turkey November 24. It's been hard but i'm making it through it. I have so many triggers it's not even funny. Getting in the truck, taking a dump, after eating, when I get up, before I go to sleep. Almost anything can trigger the craves for me.
A bit about myself. 48 years old, married with 4 kids 23, 20, 16, and 2!. Yep you read it right. A 2 year old. It's ok though. She's daddy's baby and a big inspiration for me to stay on track with my quit.
I started chewing beech nut leaf and king B twist when I was about 14 years old. I moved on to skoal after about a year. When I started you could buy a can of Skoal, fine cut wintergreen for 55 cents a can. Of course I always swore I would quit when the price reached a dollar, then 2 dollars, then 3 and now in some places 4 or almost 5. Did I quit? Nope!! what a loser I was. For the last 20 years i've used an average of 2 cans of Fine cut wintergreen per day. I couldn't go anywhere without my little friend in my pocket. Major panic attacks occured if I found I had forgotten to get my can of snuff. It really has controlled my life for the last 36 years. But here is what I have to say to that now.... 'Finger' and 'arse' and 'na na' .
Right now it has been 6 days. It is hard but i'm making it through it. I'm doing alot of this 'bang head' and this 'drool' and sometimes I feel like this 'flush' . Hopefully I can make some good contacts here and get alot of 'help' .
