Been dipping for roughly 18 yrs until six days ago. Stopped here and there for a day or more at a time over the years. Never with any real intention of quitting. Never believed I couldn't just put it down until the last year few years. Having two young boys and a wife really got me to the place where this was my only option. Tired of recent health and dental visits where my anxiety is through the roof. It's been difficult but today has been exceptionally tough. I would say that today was the first day that I wanted to actually go to the store and buy a can. Have not. Will not. But this shit sucks. Glad to have run across this site. Your wisdom is there when I need a reality check. Never been much of a tough love type of person but it's understandable in a case such as this type of behavior and addiction. A therapist once told me "You'll quit when you're ready. No one can push you." Didn't understand it at the time but makes perfect sense now. When I was ready nearly a week back, it was much easier to make the decision than years past when I merely stopped knowing it wasn't a quit. This time, I just knew. This is for real. Quit. Just do it. Wish I would've done this years back but wishing is for wells. Special thanks to y'all and your words, Smokey Mountain Herbal Snuff, Spitz brand seeds, antacids, and various hard candies. Cravings will subside eventually and until then I quit each morning, afternoon, and evening loving on my boys, wife, and family. Good day peeps. Keep on quittin...
