Hello to all my NIC KILLERS,
Just like my title says. Any Monkey can write up some high class introduction. You can write anything to make people believe you are going to quit. It takes a real person when no one is around to determine what worth you really are.
This is probably why I am waiting 22 days after I quit to write my introduction. I wanted to see if I was true to myself before any of you. Yes, it is good to post and be held accountable. But it first starts with you. If you can not hold your own self accountable then no one else can.
So lets start. My name is Jason and I live in Arkansas with my wife and 4 beautiful children. I work in Alaska and I travel monthly back n forth to work. Hence, the name arcticsloper. I have chewed Copenhagen Snuff for 29 years since the age of 10. If you can add then you will know my age. Good Job!! I have only chewed Copenhagen because this is what my Grandpa chewed. I looked up to my Grandpa. He was my rock. He was my escape. He lived two houses down from my Parents and I. I would steal dips from his can and later when I could afford my own I would hid my cans in his refrigerator. My parents just assumed they were his. My Grandpa lived a good life and passed when I was 19yrs old. He was 88 and at his funeral, I snuck in to his viewing and stuffed to rolls of Snuff in his jacket to be buried with. Now to some this could be morbid but this is how I felt about my Grandpa and Copenhagen. I was not going to give this shit up. My Grandpa had a dip in his mouth in the hospital right before he passed. I remember the nurses telling him he can not do that and his response, "Fuck you!" At his age, know one was going to tell him what to do. Well guess what, that has been my exact feeling until about a month ago. My thoughts were if he can do it and live a good life, I can do it too.
So here I am, sitting here writing an introduction. I am not going to share why I decided to quit right now! Maybe my 100 Day HOF mark! This is my accountability. It's not just a monkey writing. I am getting this fucking monkey off my back.
Thanks To ALL! If you need to ever get through the mind games, I am here for you. Anyone can quit the can, but your mind its the thing that's wasted!
God Bless,
Jason(arcticsloper)

Jason,
Great decision to quit and great work so far. Your intro was great and definitely helps people with being able to relate to you. I myself started at 12 with my grandpa and he was also my rock. Meant the world to me and I dipped for years thinking it would be my constant reminder of him. Now I look forward to having a KTF HOF coin in my pocket to remind me of him and where I cam because of him.

Welcome and congrats on 22 days quit. Not really sure I understand your monkey references and the intro, but no matter. You are right that this will come down to you and you alone. It will come down to a personal decision that you and you alone can and will make. You need to choose to stay quit each day. Don't look at the bro/sisterhood here as a crutch... rather a bunch of friends with the same goal to quit dipping and eliminating nicotine from our lives. You can do this with determination and will. QLF today!

Welcome Jason congrats on a great decision making it 22 days so far! PM me if you want numbers.
I assume you are a north sloper? If so, thank you. My heat is running full blast right now and I appreciate you guys that bring the petro out of the ground and into our houses!
Congratulations in quitting and joining this bad ass group of addicts. Life without nicotine is a wonderful thing. Fight like hell for the freedom you are earning. You won't be sorry.
If you need another number or if I can help shoot me a message.
