Hey Everybody;
I have been additied to the can for a decade, thats right 10 years of slavery (1 can per day). I have attempted quitting in the past but have never sought out the help of a "community". I am happy to be here and happy to say that November 14, 2014 will be my fist day without chewing tabacco for the rest of my life.
My reasons to quit: God, Health, Wife, Future Children, Cost.....
Can't wait to get through these first couple weeks and get to know some of you guys who are in the same boat!

You can do it, just stay here with a group of people who know what
is going on, and have been where you're going.

How about editing your list of reasons for quitting, you missed the reasons that breed success; self esteem, personal health. Honestly there is nothing wrong with being very selfish, quitting for others is good but isn't what ultimately leads to success.

Welcome. Let's get you on the right track engineer. God has nothing to do with you quitting, he didn't put that poison in your lip for 10 years. Your wife has nothing to do with it, she didn't put the shit in your lip for 10 years and your future children, this one is obvious. YOU made yourself an addict. You quit for you. Quitting for something or someone else, does not work.
Almost everything you need to quit and stay quit, is here. The only thing not provided is an attitude that you will not fail at this. We don't hope here, we don't try here and we damn sure don't wish each other luck. Quit on!

Welcome to KTC Engine Ear. You seem to want it but I do want to make sure that it is clear that you need to want it all for you. Think about how silly you looked slapping a tin, think about how fowl your breath smelled, think about not having a tongue, think about being disfigured, think about missing out on the lives of your family.
Now when you are 100% in this for you, you shall succeed. However, get your wife involved, have her read this Spousal Support (http://www.killthecan.org/community/spousal-support/).
You may also find reading these documents very helpful as well: What to Expect (http://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/what-to-expect-when-you-quit-dipping/)
Read all you can, meet other quitters and pledge to be quit daily.

^^^^^These vets nailed it^^^^^
Quit for you and you only. Quitting for anything else will only build resentment and aid in the destruction of everything good in your life. By quitting for you all the others will fall into place.

Great point guys, thanks for the motivation, I am in this for myself as much as I am in it for the others I have listed...
-
The only reason to quit is for you and you alone. If you quit for anyone else that gives you a reason to cave when you are let down. .... I quit with you today. One day at a time is the only way. Pm me for number
