Introduction

[Robb Wolf]

You made the choice coming here, Adam. We're in the same quit group, so if you need anything or need someone to talk to, send me a PM, or better yet, join the GroupMe app we've got going.
I'm just on day two, so you've got more quit than I do. Good to hear that relief is around the corner!

Post roll every damn day, one day at a time!

My name is Adam. I chewed for the last two years and quit on Easter this year (April 5, 2015). I didn't have a reason or bad experience for quitting besides the fact that I didn't want to do it any longer. I knew going into it that the quit was going to be very difficult. I had read a few things on this website and on other about what I would experience and everything I read was right, the first 3 days were pure hell. I couldn't move from my bed and I remember laying around just counting the hours until I hit 72. I was so proud of myself for making it there, and I immediately noticed on the fourth day that things got easier. A piece of advice that I can pass is that you should not drink when you are a new quitter. I was drinking with some of my friends on day six, Saturday April 11, 2015. One of the friends that I was drinking with was one that I use to chew with on a regular basis and he was pestering me all night to chew with him. I finally caved at one point in that evening and put a chew in with him. As soon as the tobacco hit my lip, I felt shame in myself because I knew right then that I was a failure. With that shame, I spit the chew out (it couldn't have been in my mouth for longer that 30 seconds). I haven't had a chew since and still things are getting a little easier for me as the days pass. Today was a little more difficult than other days. I am a college student and had to drive back to school today from home and I was very spaced out and it was hard to concentrate on the road. I know that these things will pass but it was very difficult to not take the easy way out and stop to buy a can of chew. I know that fighting this battle, I am making myself a better, stronger, and healthier person. Another reason that I am so inspired to continue this difficult journey is that within a week of quitting, I inspired my older brother at home to quit chewing as well. I have always looked to him for advice and direction and it felt amazing that when it came to quitting this horrible addiction that it was the other way around. I have to not only continue, but win this battle that way I can not only make myself a better person, but also I can continue to inspire my brother to be better. So here I am, an official quitter of one week and one day with many more to come, signing up because I know that this journey can only become easier with the help and support of everyone on this forum. This is my story so far and I can only thank all of you here for sharing yours

Your quit date is April 11th, 2015. You put nicotine in your mouth, therefore your previous quit date became null. Not trying to he rude since you're new, but that's how this site rolls.
