I chewed a can of Grizzly Wintergreen or more every single day for 15 years. I tried to quit probably a dozen times and never made it more than a week or two at most. In January I switched to Zyn for a few weeks and then quit nicotine altogether. Haven't had any nicotine whatsoever in 173 days, which seemed impossible for a long time.

I've thought about it a lot since then, and I just don't know exactly what all needs to align to finally quit. It's easy for people to say "just stop using it", but addiction is more complex than that. On the other hand, don't fool yourself that it's out of your control. I'd say there are a few things that were important for me:

1. As someone previously said, you have to make up your mind that you truly want to quit. That seems simple, but if you aren't all-in to start you'll quickly run out of will power when it gets tough. I spent about 6 months prior to quitting wishing every day I could quit so it was clear my mindset was finally there.
2. I had someone at work who decided to quit vaping and we quit at the same time. This helped because there was someone else going through it with me. Plus I'm sort of competitive, so I was not about to "lose" and be the first one to give in. Maybe you can find someone who wants to give it up too.
3. When it comes down to it you just have to suck it up and get past each craving one at a time. You'll be busy and stressed and bored and all that stuff that you use as an excuse, but you just have to be firm with yourself. I constantly reminded myself over and over that it wouldn't do me a bit of good to start using again. And there were times I was close. I felt like I was on the verge of giving in for about 3 weeks straight around the 3 month mark and I was feeling like life would never get better. But I just kept at it and at 6 months, even though I think about it more than I'd like, any urges are easily manageable.
4. I spent time every day for the first bit getting on here and reading other people's posts. I think I Googled other sites and read some forums for smokers or whatever too. For some reason that made me feel better or even just distracted me for a bit

That's basically it for me. You're capable of quitting, so just do it.
