I started smoking my freshman year of college. It was fun, mostly in social situations. Eventually I was smoking two packs a day. 7 years later, my wife (not at the time) and I decided to quit. Long story short, she did and I didn't. After months of going round and round with it, I finally sacked up and quit for good. That was until my bachelor party. Too many beers + fishing + buddies = cans and cans of cope being passed around. Having quite the buzz, I gladly accepted a dip. Game over. Fast forward to a couple years later, and I am up to between 1 and 2 cans a day. I dip at work, home, anywhere you can think of. I have tried a couple times to quit, but I was never truly on board with it. After lurking on this site for a while, I can't help but think of how many times I have tried to quit and failed. I am done with the failure. I am tired of being a slave to it.
My dad smoked and chewed and is now addicted to nicotine gum. My father in law has chewed for 30+ years. My brother in law chews. My brother chews. My friends chew. My wife hates it, and after listing everybody above she is completely entitled to. But I am not quitting for her, or anybody else. That will only lead to resentment. I am quitting for me. I want to be around for as long as I can. If I get hit by a bus tomorrow, so be it. But I'm not going out of this world because of a dumbass choice that I didn't make. Sitting at my desk currently, I just dumped my can down the sink and threw it away. Day 1, well technically half a day, is underway.
There isn't a quit group that has today's date in it available-any suggestions?

Welcome man! I'm not sure about the day thing but Im sure a vet will come in and guide you to the right spot. You've come to the right place for accountability. The guys here will keep you 100% accountable, some of them can come off as arrogant but remember they have the same end goal as you and want to see you stay quit. Good choice being done with it, far better than having teeth fall out of your head or worse. I quit with you today, we'll fight this fucker together. If you want to exchange digits for support then shoot me a PM

BP let's do this together! It's a helluva lot easier than trying to white knuckle this shit alone! It's gonna suck till it don't! You're a big boy take control and own your quit! All this may sound like bullshit but quitting alone is bullshit, we've all found that out numerous times! Quit on!
