Hello. I'm 42 and have been chewing and dipping for 37yrs. Hard to believe huh. That's part of life growing up on farm. I took my last dip at 6 am this mornig 10/19/11. going cold turkey. I am a nervous wreck right now,headache,starting to get pissed off,mad whatever you want to call it. I really could use some support from you guys as I am starting to take it out on my wife and I don't want to do that. I am reading over this site and trying to learn what I can. I am going to stay committed to quitting this time because I am doing it for myself first and foremost. Thanks for letting me vent. |

n2, I am quitting cold turkey as well. Please don't take it out on your wife or anyone. This is something that you committed to when you took your last dip. You have made it through the first 12 hours. I can't say that it gets any easier after that, but one thing that has helped me make it thus far is to cut the day into fractions and set goals. IE). You have made it from 6 a.m. through 10 a.m. 10 a.m. through 1 p.m. 1 p.m. through 4 p.m. 4 p.m. through 7 p.m. You can make it from 7 p.m. through 10 p.m. Another problem for me was the oral fixation. Peppermints and gum have helped fill the space in my mouth where chew once did. Here for you, JMAC |

5 years old!!!! thats the craziest shit I have ever heard! Did you grow up on a tobacco farm? I cant think of anything that I learned at 5 that I still do today. Dont take it out on your spouse - it wasnt her who gave you the nic bitch at 5 years old - but she fell in love with you nonetheless. My guess, in the end she will be your biggest supporter. Share your QUIT with her. Share this with her http://www.killthecan.org/community/spouse.asp I quit with you brother - for the sake of my 5 year old son - I quit with you !! PM me for a number |

Yep. Took my fist chew out on the farm when my dad left it on the truck seat. Guess I wanted to be like him. Everybody thought it was cute then. Wished somebody had slapped it out of my mouth. |

Holy shit five years old. Goddam. Well then you probably were a special little butterfly when you started. Now you're not. You're an adult. You gotcherself some real nice big-boy pants now. Except you hadn't earned them yet, until today. You quit today. That could perhaps be the most important decision you will make the rest of your life. Remember today. October 19th. Celebrate it like your birthday. Today you were reborn as a free man. Today you stole something back that belonged to you. Today you robbed the nic bitch of your freedom. She took that from you, literally like candy from a baby. Today you took it back. Now gaurd it with your life. Because that's what it means. If you embrace this site and read, read, read all of the amazing information here, you will have everything you need to succeed. Not to sound all "Kumbayah" here... but we're all in this together. Welcome to the fight N2. |

Yep, take it one day at a time. That is what works here. Don't count on any successes until you get them, but celebrate every milestone. Some don't agree with that, but I say to hell with them. I am proud of every one of mine, and I will regard them as trophies because they are some of the hardest-earned I have received. I have 5 of them now, and I got all of them by following the plan here: 1 day at a time. Sounds like your mindset is a lot like mine. Just done. That is excellent. Read my HOF speech (linked in my sig at the bottom of this post) and I bet you'll see some similarities. DO NOT take this out on your wife. Our spouses had nothing to do with our stupidity. If she reads the spouse's section that imwhip linked in his post, that will help you both immensely. My wife had no idea that nicotine is an addiction instead of just a "habit". PM me if you need help. |

Way to go on posting roll N2, today is your day 2. I just want you to know that starting dip at a very young age or doing it for a long time does not increase the severity of the addiction. An addict is an addict is an addict. We can all beat this thing one day at a time. I actually think the longer term dippers have an advantage because they have more years of hate and disgust for this disease. I tried chew in 1st grade and was regular by 9 yrs old and continued for nearly 4 decades. Day 51 for me today and my hate for nicotine and Big Tobacco is unwavering. YOU can do this! |
