Howdy all, I'm a freshman in college who started dipping in high school, due to my time on the wrestling team and my friends who used tobacco. Before I knew it, I was dipping a can every few days to a can a day if I got stressful and now its been a whole year. A year of being a slave. I' m tired, it stresses me beyond anything in my life and I hate it. I hate myself for even trying it and I'm ready to just be done with it. I'm here for me and me alone, I'm 19 and I will not die because of some rich shmuck at Philip Morris or Copenhagen is making money off my misery and addiction. I'm so glad this place exists because nothing has been there to help me stop, especially living in the South where it's cheap. I need, and want your help because I'm truly scared of what is to come. Much love and respect to everyone on this site.

Wow I wish I had been as smart as you are when I was a freshman.
Commit to never putting that crap in your mouth again, and make a new promise every day.
Congrats on making a truly adult decision.

Welcome Dewey-Cox. Congrats on making a great choice! One that will benefit you for the rest of your life. I made the same decision just two days ago. It's still scary and it hasn't been easy up to this point. Today I was very tired and lethargic, had a headache most of the day, but I learned that a lot of others on this site had the same issues when they decided to quit. Even better I learned that they made it past those issues and remained quit far beyond the initial withdrawal symptoms. That means if they did it before us we can do it now(the badass quitters are living proof)! Another benefit of coming here is the support you will receive. A lot of guys and girls extended their support, some going as far as exchanging phone numbers with me in the event I would find myself in a tough spot. All we ask in return is for your support and to post roll call every morning when you wake up - making a promise not to use tobacco/nicotine products for that day. Making that promise the past two mornings to my other brothers and sisters of quit has helped me when the thoughts of buying another can came creeping in and believe me the thoughts will come creeping in. So good luck and welcome to the quit! Use the support of your other brothers and sisters of quit and be strong!

I cannot say it any better myself! You can be Quit!

In the sweet summer of West Virginia on a mission trip I saw my future 5 years ago. A local kid walked up to me as I was scraping paint off the house of a 80 year old couple, both pack a day smokers. As I stared at this kid I noticed his mouth, teeth missing and just fucking nasty. He was 13. He had the circular tin in his jeans, one slightly longer thumbnail to cut the can. Whole 9 yards. That's me now. I haven't lost teeth but that's not to say I couldn't. I worry for my life everyday. I check my gums everyday in the mirror, sit there on the couch and catch myself feeling for new bumps in my mouth. Violently shaking in my bathroom from a cancer sore scare as the reality of losing my jaw or life is all too real. Anxiety and fear. I caved. I wimped out like a bitch. So here we are. Square 1 again and the arduous quest to regain my life and conscience begin. I say this to that goddamn weed: bring it on.

Hey Dewey, glad you're back. I told you about the 3 questions via Pm, but you need to get on roll asap as well. Get your quit started correctly and move forward.

Chew and nicotine own you. Win your freedom back but you have to want it! Invest in your quit and use the system.

Obviously bravado didn't do you much good the last time. What?... 15 days?
Dude. No big talk. Just. Do. It.
What I wouldn't give to have had this site when I was your age. I chewed longer than you've been alive.
You're here... again... no more trying.
Own it.
Just fucking own it.
