Hello everyone,
Thanks for starting a forum to support quitting chewing.
I am 32years old and I have been chewing off and on (more one than off) for 15 years.
I played college athletics, I have two degrees and a CPA license but those were all easy compared to quiting chewing.
I have a great wife and family, my wife knows I used to chew, I have told her I quit but I have been still chewing, at work, in the car etc.
I am ready to quit, I am scared that I am too late but I need to try for my boys.
I haven't chewed since Sunday 9/22/13, gum and mints help a lot. But I usually can quit for a while before convincing myself just one more chew or can. But no more.
Thanks for your positive thoughts, each day is the first day of the rest of your life.

Welcome Charles, like you I've been scared am scared I left it too late. But no time like the present to dig right in get this done. You're probably not too late, but if you have concerns engage your doctor dentist. I've seen the both of them more often in the last month than I have in the last decade. So far checking out fine despite being 38 having nearly 2 decades of use behind me. Anxiety is somewhat normal too ( it hit me bad) so you might notice more worry than is actually justified. I sure did and am.

This is my second intro.
I quit until March of 2014, then I completely caved.
I am a coward and liar. The thought of dying due to cancer and leaving my boys breaks my heart.
This is it, the final quit! But actions speak louder than works.
Thanks for your support

Fellow CPA, this is harder then the exam, I completely agree. With that said, what good are degrees and initials after our names when we are RIP because we can't keep a toxic plant out of our mouths?
i believe you have the "3 questions" to answer here, in your old quit group, and your new quit group, November.
1. What happened?
2. Why did it happen?
3. What will you do differently in the future to not cave?
-
Idaho I looked at your posting history and even when you were quit you weren't posting roll every day, and you did nothing to help anyone else along the way. Answer the three questions listed above, take your lumps from the real quitters, then come back to this site but with both feet. Post roll everyday and be an influence on everybody else. Being here half assed is such a huge warning sign for a potential cave.
-
Thanks for the messages everyone.
I have taken some lumps in both HOFs and they are all valid.
I posted this earlier:
I quit 7/31/2014 after my jaw starting hurting. Every tingle or ache I think is cancer. I Google cancer symptoms daily.
I laid awake in bed last night no sleeping dreaming about cancer and my family. I scheduled an exam with my dentist on Wednesday to get checked out.
I don't want to die, and abandon my boys and wife. It would have been easier to not begin posting roll again but I am here. I am serious about quitting, I will prove myself and change my quit date till today. Please give me a second chance and your support.
-
I support you man, but you have to ask yourself what you're going to do when you receive a clean bill of health. My family members dip my friends dip and my co-workers dip and I can't count the number of times I've seen a guy toss his can because somebody thought they had cancer. Guess what? They are all still dipping. Your quit needs to be more than just a cancer scare.
-
I completely agree.
If I get a clean bill of health I will approach it was a new lease on life and continue my quit each day.
-
I quit with you brother... Did you post roll? Didn't see you on there. Although, I did see some discussions about you.
-
I did earlier but I think I was either bumped or removed while the figured out if I was serious?
-
Fear is not a motivator just like any other stimulus the body has a way of dulling its effects...I don't know you but have heard your story a hundred times....cousin joe had his face eaten clean off by cancer and had to breath through a tube....blah blah I have sores in my mouth and on my penis I am scared blah blah....I am back I was a pussy I was a heroin addict in an opium den and someone handed me a hot rig and I thought I could just do it once...
Its a change in mindset its not white knuckling after you get through the withdrawal...you got to want it because you have seen the light....now dig in and do it for the right reason YOU!
-
I completely agree.
If I get a clean bill of health I will approach it was a new lease on life and continue my quit each day.
So if you don't get a clean bill of health, you are going to just say screw it and start dipping again?

This is a good question to ask the vet caver where he is coming from. This comes across as weak ass shit!!! Hell, I dipped for many more years because I was worried about that last bump on my tongue or the last ulcer I got in that spot you know, where you put your dip in. That stuff went away and I continued slammin 'em in everyday.... That is until I finally got it that it wasn't a bump, an ulcer, a red spot, a hurting whatever in my mouth, a bad day, a good day, an ok day, some bad traffic, no bad traffic, some beers, no beers, caffeine, no caffeine, whatever..... I could actually quit this shit for good!!! Nobody needs this shit to live despite popular opinion among addicts like those who are still dipping today!!! Go see the dentist.. and fucking quit for good!!! By the way I am going to the dentist today myself for my bi-annual cleaning. It will be nice to not get the lecture anymore about the horrors of tobacco. I mean really damn nice!!! Stay quit today all you bastard addicts!!!

September 19, 2014 - 33 days
I went to the dentist two times in August 2014, thankfully everything checked out fine. I still worry and freak out of every tingle in my mouth (right now worried about my front lip).
I have lost quite a few nights sleep worrying but it helps my quit and hearing everyone's similar stories makes it easier.
Spending a lot of time on the site helps keep me sane. I am using the Live Chat, very cool feature I haven't used before. I also downloaded the chat app on my phone and enjoy talking to the folks each night. October 14 pre HOF is on Kakoa, I chat with them daily as well.
I got lunch with Raider the other day, a fellow Spokane quitter, a good guy who I am sure we will get lunch again soon.
I have a lot of numbers in my phone, some old Dec 13 HOF still keep in touch and support.
Monday I am traveling to Seattle for work, I am going to text and Live Chat at night to keep my quit strong.

Idaho Spuds - 37 September 23, 2014
It was tough, embarrassing and infuriating to watch what should have been my one year anniversary come and go on KTC.
A bunch of fellow quitters reached out to congratulate me, and I had to tell them my story and that I didn't make it a year. While I was embarrassed at first and wanted to see if the site could stop that from happening again, I took a step back and I will try to use it as teaching moment. Hopefully new quitters will understand that this site is essential and to keep posting and stay active in their quit.
Instead of 365+ I am inching towards 40, then 50, then 100 and then 100 + 1. We will get to 1 year after 365 posts! ODAAT!

Nothing is better than a quitter failing and then being born again hard. I quit with you today Spuds.

Makes it harder to cave when somebody knows where you work. :-). Glad to be quit with you.

September 29, 2014, Day 43 - Tested Hard This Weekend.
My dad called Saturday morning saying he wasn't feeling well and need me to drive up. My dad is 70 but going on 90. A life of labor, abusing his body with alcohol, food and tobacco (chewer) has taken its toll. Before leaving the house (already posted roll) I grabbed two packs of trident gum, knowing the triggers and opportunities that would arise.
I was stressed (nicotine trigger), my dad didn't sound well, my mom is out of town, abandoning my weekend with my wife and kids and we all knew a day like this would happen. Many nicotine opportunities arise; driving an hour in the car by myself, sitting around my dads house all day with his numerous cans laying around, and nothing better to do than worry.
Watching my dad in poor health but then still put in a chew, was very sad. My quit is even stronger after this weekend.

First thanks for the support Thumblewort, Raider and Dagranger.
October 13, 2014 - 57 days
Today is my youngest son Emerson's birthday, 3 years old and it is good to be quit for his birthday.
And tomorrow is my 8 year wedding anniversary, my wife is amazing, not sure how I hit the lottery on this one but I am a lucky man.
My quit is going well, I picked up some Tea Tree Therapy toothpicks to help combat craves.
When I am feel healthy and not worrying about mouth cancer, I get the occasional crave. The hardest part of my quit is obsessing about my mouth.
My theory is that when you are chewing you are disregarding your health particularly you mouth's health, so when you quit, it is the opposite and then compounded to make up for lost time. I probably have more gray hair now then 57 days ago due to worrying. My gums and teeth feel good but my jaw hurts, occasional ear aches, I feel like my wisdom teeth are growing back, and etc. I google oral cancer pictures and symptoms, either convince myself that I have mouth cancer or I don't.
I think about people who have chewed longer than me and are fine... But I still worry. I talked one quitter through 3 doctors appointment, he was sure he had cancer but he was luckily fine. The only good thing is that this reminder of me worrying helps keep my quit strong!
My dad is doing better, apparently 5-10 years ago he had a massive heart attack and didn't know and now his heart is too weak for surgery. He has regularly scheduled follow-up appointments, new medicine and hopefully he will eat better and stop drinking. A month ago I sent him the KTC link and told him I am quit and he should join up. He babbled that he only chews pouches and his teeth are in good shape, blah, blah... He is a stubborn SOB and won't quit but I can't worry his addiction only mine.
-
November 3, 2014 - 78 days
Traveling for work in Seattle, my quit is going well. Still obsessing about my mouth but it keeps my quit strong.
A couple of thoughts I have had recently:
1. Over the past 16 years I have been have been stealing $10 per week from my company, then I realize that this is wrong and stop stealing, to make amends I am going to pay it back $1 per day, I hope that I can pay it back before anyone notices and even if I do the theft and dishonesty is already committed. This is a geeky accountant chewing analogy, the theft is time spent chewing and the company is my own health, I can only repay it gradually over the rest of my life and hope that my changes are enough and that it avoid the serious effects of my chewing addiction.
2. My November 2014 HOF brothers are celebrating their successes and 100 days. I am very happy for them as it is a great accomplishment. But I am not sure if I should celebrate or write another HOF speech. One thing I know is that I am an addict, 100 days is a good start but nothing compared to 16 years and I know I can't leave this site or stop posting.
3. I am going hunting in November and will be off the grid, not worried about chewing but just bummed that I won't be able to post and keep my 100% roll call. I have tried to be active and engaged in the site, proving to myself and others that my quit is my last. I will reach out to my brothers in November and Raider to see if they will post up for a couple days in November.
4. I have been cutting back on my drinking, drinking tea at night instead, my body feels better and probably saving tons of money.
Till next post, keep quitting hard,
Charles

November 21, 2014 -96 days quit
Tomorrow the family and I are driving down to see the in-laws for Thanksgiving and my father-in-law and I are going elk hunting (off grid, snow camping).
I am really looking forward to it. Unless we get an elk right away, I won't be on KTC to celebrate my 100 days.
But I am quit! and 100, will be followed by 101, 102, 103. It is a little anti-climatic this time. My mom did tell me that she is proud of me for quitting.
I am very thankful for my wife, kids, family, and everyone on KTC. Thanks for all the support you have given me, I am proud to quit with you.
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Do you need someone to help you post roll?

Thumblewort, I have asked my buddy Raider to post me up and Bazookajoe to help out as well.
Thanks for the offer, proud to quit with you (and your awesome avatars)

Whatever you need, you will have. Best of luck to a fellow hunter. It looks like it's going to be a soggy one here in Central Texas today.

Idaho Spuds - 108 - December 3rd, 2014
I made it past 100, we got one elk over thanksgivings and had a good time at the in-laws.
I have decided not to post another HOF speech, I think other quitter can inspire potential quitters better than I.
My craves aren't bad, I stay busy and don't even think about chewing. I still think about ever change in my mouth. It is a good reminder.
We are celebrating my birthday and my son's birthday this upcoming weekend. It is good being quit for both these birthdays.
Thanks for reading and stay quit my brothers,
Charles
PS; even hackers can't stop our quits, text, facebook or blog a promise!

Nothing to see here, got my November Idaho quitters mixed up.

Idaho Spuds - 123 - December 18, 2014
My quit is going strong. I don't have craves, still worrying about my mouth. Next dentist appt is February 9th, and I am looking forward to that check up.
I am also going to find a primary care physician and start getting routine physicals since I need to ensure I am taking care of my whole body.
Looking forward to the holidays and Christmas. I have been cutting down on drinking, and getting into a little better shape.
I have had some anxiety and stress due to the wife's new job, we will need to work on our marriage a bit but at least I am quit.
More later, carry on

Idaho Spuds - 164 January 27, 2015
This will be my 1,000 post on KTC.
My quit is strong as ever, I have really come to hate chew and nicotine. When I see people chewing or chewing nicotine gum, I feel bad for them.
I still worry every day about my mouth, neck, jaw, etc. I think back about chewing and I get really mad at myself, it is sad, I wish I could go back in time and never start.
My anxiety has decreased and my wife I am are doing really well.
Tomorrow morning I am going to get a physical. Half the reason for the physical is to start getting routine physical with a primary care doctor, so I can improve on being healthier after my quit and for the rest of my life. The other half is to just get in front of a Doctor to ask questions about my mouth and oral cancer and stress and anxiety related to worrying about both. So send my positive thoughts.
I have my next dentist appointment on February 9th which has taken forever to arrive since my last one in September/August. I can't wait for that to be here.
Thanks for reading, stay quit!
Idaho Spuds
P.S. I dropped and broke my phone, and lost some of my KTC phone numbers. Send me a text if you have a chance.

Congrats spud...
You are a true asset here on KTC.
I enjoy reading your post and you are one bad a#@ quitter.
Will be praying for great results at doctor and dentist.
Quit with you today brother.

March 9, 2015 Idaho Spuds - 204
Quit is strong! just ticked over 200 days quit, glad to sign up for 300. latest dentist appointment went great, gave me a good looking over, all good.
I still think about chew, mouth cancer, and have the occasional crave but I am strong. My latest crave was painting trim and I thought this is boring, you know what I used to do to make it more exciting... silly thought, chewed on a toothpick, and played ball with the kids, instead.
It is busy tax season, where I caved last year, but not even a option this time just cranking out financials and tax work.
Thanks to everyone on KTC and Jabr has been especially solid in my quit. Proud to quit with you all.
Cheers, and quit on!

May 19, 2015 -275 days quit
Well it has been a while, still quit, still strong in my resolve. I am enjoying my November quit group, we are keeping a solid group of guys together in there, some are approaching 300 and we will all hit 1 year in august. Some folks are fading but I know from experience I cannot, I will be here, each day.
My mouth feels good, at times I worry but feeling good in my quit and oral care.
We are selling our house and buying a new one, stressful at times yes, is chew ever the answer nope... Never again.
My dad has continued health problems, still chews and when I visit I am saddened by the stack of cans. I wonder what will get him first, diabetes, his heart or chew?
On a bright note, oldest son will be going to kindergarten this fall, my youngest is happy and healthy and my wife amazing.
I have lived in North Idaho and Eastern Washington my whole life and I have never had a truck or four wheel drive. But this fall I will be buying one, I am looking forward to keeping it clean and to have not have chew in the carpets.
Proud to quit with everyone and my SCQers,
Idaho Spuds

My mouth feels good, at times I worry but feeling good in my quit and oral care.
We are selling our house and buying a new one, stressful at times yes, is chew ever the answer nope... Never again.
My dad has continued health problems, still chews and when I visit I am saddened by the stack of cans. I wonder what will get him first, diabetes, his heart or chew?
On a bright note, oldest son will be going to kindergarten this fall, my youngest is happy and healthy and my wife amazing.
I have lived in North Idaho and Eastern Washington my whole life and I have never had a truck or four wheel drive. But this fall I will be buying one, I am looking forward to keeping it clean and to have not have chew in the carpets.
Proud to quit with everyone and my SCQers,
Idaho Spuds
Congratulations spud, sounds like great things going for you. Tell your Father he's never to old to quit! Nothing like a brand new truck and an awesome family! Stay quit my friend and take time in life for the little things. Life comes and goes and kid's grow up before you know it. I wish I would have quit dipping when my kids were young, they were cheated alot because of my slavery! Damn proud to be quit with you today my brother!

1 year/365 days quit.
My one year quit happy coincided with a routine dentist appointment so it felt good to get a check-up and tell them that I am 1 year clean.
I still think about chew once in a while, walking through a grocery store or seeing a can while visiting my dad. Any thoughts about it is quickly followed by I AM NEVER GOING BACK! I have my promise on roll, my cellphone full of digits and my family to think about.
Lastly, I am happy to be quit and a member of the great community here on KTC.
See you tomorrow and the next day after

I touched a can of cope this weekend...
Visiting my folks and cleaning off the table for dinner, I moved my father's can... weird feeling but mostly disgusted by it.
Also some newer friends of ours, said to me at dinner the other night "what is kill the can?" I like the KTC posts on facebook and they never knew I chewed. So I had to go into a whole story about my addiction and site... a slightly uncomfortable conversation as I am not proud of my past but proud I am quit!
a couple more days to 500..

Idaho Spuds - 500 days
Feeling pretty good at 500 days, half comma.
I am looking forward to starting a brand new year 2016 quit and working towards my next milestones.
At this stage in my quit, I don't worry as much anymore but I occasionally think about chew. But any thoughts are easily dismissed I haven't came this far for without a reason.
Proud to quit with everyone on KTC, see you tomorrow and of course at 600 ;)

Awesome quit Spuds! Congrats on the half comma!!

This last weekend my wife and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary, wine tasting and fancy dining. I broke our my black leather jacket which I don't wear very often.
Strolling down the main street, I reach my hand into the pocket and I feel a familiar, yet unfamiliar object... A can... If you saw my face it probably looked like I had seen a ghost.
It have been 792 days since I quit, that means this have has been in the pocket for over two years and we moved houses... WTF!!!
I was too embarrassed and didn't tell my wife, I just threw it away and then you guessed it, I had cave dreams that night.
I guess there is nothing to do but keep posting roll and forever be haunted by my past addiction.

This last weekend my wife and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary, wine tasting and fancy dining. I broke our my black leather jacket which I don't wear very often.
Strolling down the main street, I reach my hand into the pocket and I feel a familiar, yet unfamiliar object... A can... If you saw my face it probably looked like I had seen a ghost.
It have been 792 days since I quit, that means this have has been in the pocket for over two years and we moved houses... WTF!!!
I was too embarrassed and didn't tell my wife, I just threw it away and then you guessed it, I had cave dreams that night.
I guess there is nothing to do but keep posting roll and forever be haunted by my past addiction.
The cruelty of addiction....we did it to ourselves and we are steadily easing back to a normal life. How great was it to know that was the first time you were dip free in that jacket! Thanks spuds for always being around
Nah. The haunting goes away. I guess it becomes obscured by our Victory. You my Brotha, are doing this right. Keep on keeping on. It gets better every day.
You found an old can, you threw it away, sound like a victory to me.
Congrats on 10 year Anniversary!
And 790+ days quit.
You have accomplished great things.
Your a new man now... controlling a NEW shadow!
No need to be haunted by that.
I Quit with you Spuds!
Rawls 701
Let's see, you posted roll that morning, nic bitch tempted your almost 800 days of quit and you honored your word on roll post. Outstanding. Thanks for leading the way. Appreciate you sharing that. Keeps my quit strong and helps all KTC to know that these things are out there. Proud to quit with you.
Thanks for the support guys, yeah posting roll and still winning!
Almost at 800, that will be a good milestone, see everyone tomorrow.
Thanks for leading the way around here. Great win and great lesson for new quitters. This fight is never done!

I am going into the belly of the beast this weekend.
An annual stealhead fishing trip with a great group of guys, we will eat and drink like kings, fish and sit around the campfire.
There are a number of chewers that will be there. I am confident in my quit and at 806 days there is no going back. Gum, seeds, toothpicks and food will be in my mouth at all times.

Idaho Spuds 900days
I haven't done an update for a while so here it goes:
Quit is still good. Rarely think about chew, still obsess occasionally about my mouth, etc. I don't think that will ever go away.
Let's see, my dad is still alive chewing and drinking, that guy is a cast-iron pot. Wife and kids are good, starting basketball season and then soccer in spring.
Tax season, this will be my 10th busy season, it isn't too bad just miss the family during the hours and Saturdays.
Trying to get into shape, 215lbs, if I could drop to 190, I might get a call up to a pro team (jk)....
Whelp, not to look past today but the first comma will be cool but until them see you tomorrow

I had a tough time today, I went to a palatine care meeting with my mom and dad. He is in rought shape and the purpose is to talk about the next steps and transfer eventually to hospice.
The hardest part was when the dr asked my dad why he gets out of bed every day and keeps going, he dinto really have a good answer, just routine really
Sad to think about.
Still quit like fuck

My dad passed away on my 1001st day quit. The end all came faster than everyone expected. He was a good man, and a huge personality. While he was flawed in many ways, he made me a good man, father, husband and son. The vacuum that he will leave will be large.
See you tomorrow

Charles, I offer my deepest condolences. Lost my dad many years ago and it still seems like yesterday. Having the right words is not an easy thing but Ill say this. To raise a son with the strength and resolve to quit like you have, he must have been a great man and dad. We really know each other here only so much. But we can tell a lot about each other by the way we go about our quits. You have shown strength, resolve, and the ability to pick yourself up and go again. No better characteristic are needed in the foundation of a mans character. I know your Dad has been proud of you as we have been also. There are many folks here including myself that are only a phone call away during this difficult time. Call me any time Brother. Proud to be Quit with you and congrats on a well deserved Comma !!!

Whoa, where did October go? We had two staff quit at our company, have to find new folks, train and teach them... some people are bummed but what can you do, the only thing that is constant is change and KTC.
At over 3years quit, I thought about chew the other day, weird right... haha what a SOB. not today, and see you tomorrow.

Thanks for this - I am over 2 years quit and it reminds me again not to get complacent. One day at a time but get here to post roll every damn day. This is the formula for freedom. I like being free more than I like your avatars (but it is close). ;)

Quit is good, traveling and thought about chew a couple times, but no way.
Holidays were rough without my dad but at least it is a new year.
Gearing up for tax season, need to lose some weight and get back into shape. Lost 20 lbs last tax season, but gained it all back since then.
Completing a health assessment for my new health insurance, got to the old chewing tobacco question, excited to say no... the options were, yes, quit or no. Opted for the quit option, next one; how long quit 5 or 5 years, less than 5, check.... humbling questionnaire, I will keep posting those 1+

So May is a terrible month, my aunt died a few years ago in May-June 2016, in 2017 my dad died in mid-May. The first anniversary of my Dad's death was tough and then a week later, I had to go help my mom put down her dog.
Then May 5/31 to top it all off, I tore my Achilles tendon (in a stupid golf cart accident due to my friend's terrible driving) let's just say that I feel like crawling into a deep dark hole of depression...
but what good would that do, still quit 'Finger' chew and 'Finger' the month of May

8/16/19 - 1825 Idaho Spuds
In two days, I will be 5years years quit. Things that have happened during this time:
*Bought a new house, no chew cans stashed anywhere
*Bought a new truck - no chew grains in the floor or dashboard
*Got a promotion
*Moved office buildings
*Golfed, fished, hunted, all without chew
*Boys are 5 years older, almost 8 and 10, they have never seen me chew
*Took some amazing vacations to Yellowstone, Hawaii, California, Wisconson, New Orleans
*My only aunt died of cancer
*My dad passed away
*My sister got married
*Buried family pets
*I ruptured my Achilles tendon
*I got fat, I got in shape
If anyone reads this, you can quit and stay quit. And life will throw all kinds of shit in your way but chew won't make it better.
All the fun things (golf, hunting, fishing, etc) are better without chew. Each visit I tell the dentist I am still quit.
I am looking forward to filling out the next medical questionnaire and when it asks if I have smoked or chewed in the past 5 years, Absolutely Not!
Well enough patting myself on the back, thanks to everyone for your support I couldn't have done it without NOV 2014, my fellow quitters and KTC.
Tomorrow will just be another day free of chew and nicotine, see you around KTC

2/7/2020 Idaho Spuds - 2,000 days quit
A good milestone! Just the other day, riding the chairlift skiing, someone had dropped a flask on a tough black diamond, nope wouldn't think about going down to get it. A little further up a couple of cans in the snow... I am not sure if that is what caused it but at almost 2,000 days quit I had a dip dream. Someone offered me a pouch, I took it and put it in the front pocket of my shirt. WTF...
It is good to be quit, I will stay that way.
Thanks again for KTC and everyone here
