Keith here, stopping by on my 3rd day to say hi to everyone. My screen name is KBal if you happen to see me around.
3 days ago, I had been chewing for about 40 years. I am a little bit foggy on when I actually started, but I remember chewing in 3rd grade.
I stopped for a year for a wife. I re-started the day I got the divorce papers. The divorce was not a direct result of the "stopping" but I am sure it was a factor.
This time I am quitting for myself.
It is going to suck so absolutely horribly bad, but that means it will be really worth it.
Thanks,
Keith

Welcome aboard Keith! Embrace the suck and know you are not alone. Post roll daily, get involved in your quit group, get some digits for people to hold each other accountable and take it all ODAAT.

Congrats! Very good that you quit! Posting roll daily is your promise to yourself and to others in the group. That is just one of the reasons we post daily. Get involved. Lots of different things to not only do on this board but to read and educate. So. Grab gallons of water and find something to hold on to.
Just for today, Self.

Keith congrats on making a great decision for yourself. And for reaching out. The network here is a HUGE part of what makes it work. Now, it's all up to you what you make of your quit-- i say jump in with both feet, and you won't regret it. This is your one chance to really do it right!
Want to jump in? the same stuff I tell everyone really worked for me:
1. learn all you can about the addiction you are fighting. Read other intros for experiences others have that are like what you did and will go through. Read articles about how addiction works (see my signature line below for one article that helped me).
2. Build a network here, big and diverse as you can, for support and accountability. Guys in your quit group, guys quit a little, and a lot, longer, guys who come in after you.
3. keep a log of your experiences here. It lets others know what sort of help you might be needing, and later it will be a great reminder of what you want to never go through again. And, it will help others who will read it and see some of themselves in what you do, and give them hope that they too can succeed.
Glad to be fighting this battle with you. Some great quitter impacted me when they pointed out that it ain't easy, but it's really simple if you just follow the method here.

I'm thinking that goes in your signature line.
Your *^%$#@#%*$#! Right it will be Worth it!
Unlike the last stop....
Quitting for someone else,
is like just handing them the keys to your chains.
You were not free then, but you will be this time.
I too dipped about 40 years.
Spend as much time on here as you can.
And post roll early.
The rest of your life sounds like a long time....
The rest of your life is really only today.
Just quit Today.
Don't give tomorrow a thought..... It might not show up?
I quit with you today

KBal how's the quit going? Foggy or relieved?
