Quit MJ after 17 yrs a 1/2 oz a week user. HELP
Have any of you guys ever quit and struggled like I am? I know it is what I want to do but I am alienating everyone around me. Man this sucks. I can't seem to control myself. I am not yelling but I am so confused and emotional like a woman right now it is horrible.

Every week I put $25 into a box (what it was costing me to use Copenhagen plus a little extra) and after one year, I am going to take the money and do something with the family. Here's the kicker. ![]() ![]()

It's tough. The main thing to remember is that your addiction is basically a perversion of the survival drives...somewhere along the line MJ got added in with Food, Water, Shelter, and Sex. Recognizing it as such makes it a bit easier, but nothing will make it a walk in the park.
Try finding a decent support group, but use your best judgement when "sounding" one out. You also might try regular exercise. It will help flush the metabolites over time, and help you re-establish a normal wake-sleep cycle. Hang in there, and good luck.

I'd probably end up drinking a lot.

I gave up Copenhagen a month ago after chewing for over 25 years. I just woke up one day and said fug this, I'm done and gave it up cold turkey. I had read in advance that giving up chew was equivalent to knocking a heroin habit because of the amount of nicotine in a single pinch of chew. I knew what I was in for in advance and it still kicked my ass. I ran the same emotional gamut you are going through and was a world class dick weed to be around. I am just now leveling off. It must have taken that long for all the nicotine to leave my system. There were days when I was about half crazy. I would go from zero to sixty on the pissed off scale in about two seconds. Now that it’s over with (knock on wood) I feel a lot better, have more energy and have been hitting the weights and kick boxing hard again. What you are going through is totally natural, a pain in the ass, but totally natural. Expect your emotions to be off the chart for a period of time. If you get pissed off around your family or friends, take a walk, get out of there. Just know you made the right choice, the smart choice, things will level off, and you will be a stronger person for having the rocks to kick the habit. Hang in there and good Luck!!
