So I throw out my can yesterday at 1430. I have been chewing on gum till my jaws hurt. It is amazing at how bad I have wanted to go to the store and pick up a can. I hope that I have the will power and the support to make this great change in my life.
I have been chewing for more then 15 years. I know that is not as long as others, but it is a long time for me. I served in the Navy for 10 of those 15 years. Along with chewing, I drank a lot. Now I have come to a point in my life where I am no longer going to lay still and hope things will get better.
I have been going to the gym for 5 weeks 5 days a week now. I have cut back to one beer a night, and most important I have quit chewing.

You will quickly learn that the accountability of posting roll will help you tremendously. (That and Crockett busting your balls if you are late to post Roll)
I used to spend a lot of time with a dip in looking at stupid shit on the internet, now I spend my time with a cheek full of seeds trying to figure out when the crave is going to go away. It will....
My best advise when you get a craving just scream FUCK YOU _______(enter your dip of choice) then I go read the Jenny and Tom Kerns Story (I have a 13 month old son, and a 4 yr old daughter) and BAM the urge to cave is gone!!
Tony Robbins says that the only way to truly affect meaningful change on ones life if to associate extreme pain with not changing, so for me the extreme pain od not changing is not being around to see my kids grow up, and get old with my wife.... The Kern's story brings that back to me real quickly-

ADMann, i was hooked for 32 years, can a day. This site is the formula for success. I am 68 day quit and feeling great. Push through the suck and there is light as long as you post, quit and repeat one day at a time. Quit with you TODAY

Welcome ADMann. Check your inbox(1)
As mentioned before hope is not in our vocabulary.
Hope implies that there is an option to fail. Hope implies that your quit is not in your control. We submit that Quit is a decision- completely within your control. There is no option to fail once you put your name on roll call. Own your quit. You can do this.
-
OK dude. you just posted a Day ONE again today. What happened? November needs some answers and January needs to know who they're dealing with.
Let's get some truth out...
-
ADMann you definitely owe us some answers 60 + day quit gone POOF. I admire your honesty and you made the right call to come back. My advice is to not go it alone. Buddy up with a few folks NOW and use those digits when you need them, we have your back but you need to reach out as well. To those given second chances much will be required.
-
If you thought your first day was long back in August, you ain't seen shit then buddy.
What happened?
Why did it happen?
What are you doing differently this time?
EDIT: You had a 98% roll call record as well. Your first day missed was last week. Would you care to elaborate extensively about why you posted roll call for over 60 (almost) consecutive days and then just chose to use without notifying anybody?
-
Hope came back to bite you in the ass... Hope is a weak word..
It looks as though you went 2 months without posting anything.. probably not involved enough, and I'd have to guess not involved with a few buddies?
Life or death... pretty simple decision...
-
I believe you owe November some answers before you just hit the reset button!

So I have been posting with KTC for more the 70 days. I was doing really good till I craved, and did not ask for help. I screwed up and allowed life to get in my way. I failed my self by not believing in myself and I failed my Nov brothers by not calling and asking for help.
The biggest thing I can say is that I will ask for help, either by calling, txting, emailing, screaming, fuck I'll use smoke signals if I have to. I will not fail this time. I will keep my fat ass in the gym, watch what I eat, and ask for help.
A little about me, I had chewed for about 15 years or so. I was a big fan of the fresh cope both long cut and snuff, and God know that I loved a little RedMan. I was in the military for 10 years, till I became a single father and I then choose to seperate at the end of my contract and become dad full time. I still work for the gov, but no longer have to wear the uniform or go on deployments.

You gotta give us a "why." What happened? Allowing life to get in the way is not a "why." You gotts 'splain it to us.
Cavers don't understand the importance of this question in the list of three. This is CRITICALLY important. It's not intended to force you to pants yourself. It's to share will all of us where the failure comes from. What happened that caused you to drop your guard? If someone else has a similar experience and knows your tale, they may be more inclined to keep their gaurd up even more.
So again... why?

You must dig deep to figure out why you caved and how to fix it. I can assure you that it is not because you did not believe in yourself. There are NOT two types of people; people who believe and quit and people who do not believe and fail. Figure this out.
-
So, how does it feel repeating the agony of withdrawal. Make the quit stick this time and don't suffer that again. Get your plan together. That needs to be priority #1.
-
You caved ADMann because you broke the "Law of Addiction".
That is, YOU put the POISON in YOUR mouth!!!!!!!
Make up your mind, quit being a fucking PUSSY!! Look in the mirror and be honest with yourself. If you're gonna "be" quit, then "be" quit. If you're gonna "be" a liar to yourself, then "be" a liar to yourself.....
Look in the mirror (literally) and "DECIDE" which YOU are gonna "be"!!!!
Make the best choice NOW! Scream, cry, swing at your addiction....get crazy fucking mad about it! Snap out of the cave talk and get the quit walk struttin'!!!
Do it for YOU cause you're the one who will have to live with being on your death bed dying from the dip you put in your addicted mouth!
YOU can kick the can...the TOOLS are here.
pay very close attention to what Scowick65 is saying to YOU! Think on it! BE QUIT!!!!!
I quit with YOU TODAY!!! 'bang head'
