Title: And so it begins
Post by: JLima on July 08, 2011, 03:57:00 AM
Hey all,

Ive had this crap in my mouth for 9 yrs, and I'm only 24. I kept telling myself that I'm young and there's no harm in it... I'll quit when I'm a little older and have a family, or whatever excuses I keep telling myself. It's time to quit now. I always made excuses (stressed out, etc) from being in the military, but it's time to stop letting this control me. It's motivating to see you all out there conquering and I can't wait to be successful like you all.

Good Morning,
If you want to quit now is the time. Dump the stuff down the toilet, clean up the spit bottles and post roll. stay clean for the day and repeat the next.

Sounds simple, but its not initially. That why were are together fighting the nic together. Most worthwhile journey I have been one.

Once you dump the stuff, Post up and get some real numbers to help when the craves hit. Just P.M.. us, I'll keep my eye out for you.

P.S. I started the same age as you with same idea and excuses to quit. I am 44 yrs old and have finally had enough. Start now.

I can't wait to be successful like you all.
Whether you are 1 day or day 554 you ARE just as successful as everyone else. We quit 1 day at a time.
We are both quit today so we are both equally quit.

Look at this quit as a positive lifestyle change. Corny I know, but from quitting chewing you can try to quit other things that harm your body, become more motivated, spend less money, and its just 1 thing of many that you can start to change to become the man/woman you want to be. Since I quit Ive cut down drinking at least to only the weekends, quit smoking weed, and go to the gym regularly. I am 21 and young like yourself and know my time is now to quit.

One quitter always has told me that it doesnt matter how long you quit you will always have the same addiction and it will always be the same. It will only get harder to quit if you wait, so if your having problems to quit now why wait until later? Keep involved on this site, get numbers from other members you open up to, and you will notice a change in your quit. Keep it going and keep the posts up and you'll be on your way.

Congrats brother. I can't stress this enough... quit now!!! I started around the same age as you and said the same thing... when i graduate college... when i get a job... when i get married... when i have kids... i kept putting it off unitl the next "milestone". Trust me there will never be a right time to quit.

It's disgusting, expensive and it will kill you. The only reason you do it is because you are an addict. Get the shit out of your mouth now and soon you will realize that. I read on her many times, the only hole that shit is filling is the one its creating.

I'm not going to lie... the next few days for you are going to suck. Suck it up, take it one day at a time and get through it. Once it's behind you, you'll never have to do it again.

Count on the people here. If you need adivce, ask. If you need to freak out and complain, freak out and complain. But depend on your quit brothers and sisters. If you don't let us down, we won't let you down.

Damn straight Lima! You are a bad ass!

You got the right attitude, get through today. Exercise helps keep your mind busy as well. I had some serious gym sessions when I first quit.


Need any help drop me a PM for anything.

Mr. Lima congratulations on having a support network that will stand by you thick and thin. You must be a good man.

Mrs. Lima congratulations on having a man that has made the decision to save his life and add years to your time together.

This isn't a one and done folks. This battle goes far beyond any number of days being quit. Take it one day at a time and we'll get there.

Day 11, I'm finally getting some sleep (albeit a little) and I had my first dip dream already which scared the shit out of me. I even "woke up" in my dream after a night out, and saw that i had a can, opened it and saw there was only 2 pouches left inside of it. It definitely made me feel awful but it helped strengthen my quit when I woke up and realized it was a dream, because I don't want to feel that awful ever in the real world.
