Man am I glad I found this forum! So nice to see everyone helping each other out. I quit on February 25th at 1pm. I gradually started cutting my chew rate back the previous week and got it down to 3 a day. On February 25th I hadn't had one in 12 hours, put one in and realized I still didn't want it. My reasons for quitting are my wife and 2 kids, not to mention my health. I chewed cherry Skoal for about 10 years. I started when I was about 23 or so and have quit a little after my 33rd birthday (feb 13th). I have not had one chew since then and have thrown all I had out and have made it a point to forget it. I am determined to do this, I will not give in. I could not conciously let something that I knew was killing me control my life, I would look for my chew harder than if I lost my wallet.
Now that it is day 5 I physically feel much better, but mentally I am going out of my mind, I am anxious and feeling tired earlier in the day, although I am sleeping much better. I have had a queasy/nauseated feeling my stomach and have not been hungry. I have been using bacc-off with some success but I think it may make it worse sometimes because I know it is not curbing my nic craving. I have read almost all I can from this site and think it is the best thing ever for someone trying to quit (like you guys needed to know that!). If anyone has any more words of wisdom I would love to hear them! Thanks guys/girls!
