Quitting Tobacco

[Tim_T]

Good points brought up about the addiction aspect, it is similar. I am going to use a lot of what I learned through AA to quit chewing, but I am waiting until after January 27th. That will be my one year sober date and by then I am hoping my nervous system has recovered enough to make quitting the chew a little easier.

Congradulations Tim on quitting drinking and for your one year of soberity coming up in the new year. You are a strong fellow and I know how hard it is cuz my father and ex were alcoholics but never were able to quit or should I say never wanted to quit. Pat on the back to you for your strength and dedication to yourself your health and your family in achieving this. Good for you!

Tim, I usually don't break my anonymity,but I had 16 years of sobriety on May 31st this year.I wouldn't rush the tobacco thing too soon,It it is better to take care of one thing at a time. It took me several years before I felt like I had recovered from the damage I had done to my mind and body.
The same steps and principles work well for any addiction when you are ready.
