So, my name is Johnny, and this is Day 1 of my quit. I woke up this morning and my throat was sore for the last time. I started dipping about 10 years ago, while I was still smoking cigarettes. I was one of the dumbasses that figured,"Hey, it's better than smoking." I know, I know... I already said I was a dumbass. I've got a wife and a 2 year old daughter, whom I love very much and want to be around for for a long time. I plan on dying of extreme old age, or while doing something cool, but not while lying in a hospice bed dying of mouth cancer without my bottom jaw...so here I am. Day 1...

Glad to hear you're ready to step up to the plate. First and foremost though, it needs to be about you. I'm glad you have a wife and kids to be around for, and that's great, but you have to help yourself first. It has to be about you or you won't ever quit 100%.
If you're really quit, go post roll in Sept 2014. We're the Sultans and we're a damn proud crew. We're happy to welcome anybody willing to put themselves and their families ahead of a carcinogenic weed. If you're really quit, go make your promise.
Then read everything you can in the Welcome Center. There is an abundance of wisdom that you won't find anywhere else, soak it up and take it to heart. Every day your name is on that roll, it'll be alongside mine and a bunch of bad ass quitters ready to help you save your life.
QLF (quit like fuck) with you today.

Welcome to our community, brotherhood. Stick around. We know how to do this.
Holler if you need anything.

Here it goes...my introduction. My name is John, and I have been a Skoal Long Cut and Red Man user for about 14 years now. I decided to finally give quitting a SERIOUS go when I woke up yesterday morning, with an annoyingly sore throat and my bottom lip hurting a bit. "It's time", I thought to myself. But where I've failed in the past, I will succeed this time, because I have sought support, rather than trying to go it alone.
I am 36 years old, married, with a 2 year old daughter, and I want to be around for them as long as possible. I am a paramedic for one of the biggest EMS systems in the country, in one of the busiest areas of the country, and I am extremely proud of that. I love what I do, and I also would like to do THAT as long as possible. In my spare time, I enjoy rock climbing, playing music, mainly drums, playing poker, running, playing and watching basically any sports, and most importantly, I enjoy spending time with my family. So here I sit at my computer, typing my intro, on Day 2 of my quit.

Exactly but... Don't give it serious go. Don't "try".
Go all in.
All. In.
If you own this you'll win and experience a freedom that words just don't do justice.
Don't try... Do.

As new as I am, coming on this site has helped me tremendously. It hasn't been the easiest transition in my life. One night I actually couldn't sleep so I looked at photographs of lip and mouth cancer for 5 hours. Anything works, talking has been very beneficial to me too. I'll slide you my number through a PM, I'm glad to quit with you today. More the merrier.
Got to stay with the middle finger attitude.

Welcome John.
Great decision. I get the sense that you are quitting because of the sore throat and lip. Medical fear is a good catalyst for a quit but it can't be the fuel. You have to fuel it with a deep want on your part. Otherwise, your quit will sputter and flame out. To successfully change your addictive behavior, you have to want a better life for you. You have to be willing to live with this addiction.
Cancer fear, spouse, children are all good reasons to quit. They just won't keep you quit. It is proven that your quit has to be for you. It's okay to be selfish here.
Read all you can because knowledge about your enemy, the nic whore, is your most effective quit weapon.
Quit with you today.

WTF? Do you have two intros?

You've come a long ways in a short 100 days.
Congratufukinglations!
Now on to 200 ODAAT!
I quit with you.

Excellent first floor bro, I don't have to tell you you're not done ... not by a long shot! Enjoy, then refocus ... always QLF EDD!!

Hells yeah on 100 days, Medic!

700+ days pissed away because he didn't own it.
Really. Own. It.
I'm so sick of reading this shit and the ball coddling that accompanies it.
Pathetic...

Yeah its a crying shame really. I was shocked to see how well your group took it medic. When I caved in 2014 and came back in 15, LORD did I get my ass ripped. And rightfully so. I deserved every last minute of it.
Hope you take all the pats on the ass and run with it. You had over 700 days and have the tools to do it again. I wish you nothing but the best man. Lets kick this fucking nic bitch one day at a time!
-
There's two ways to come back. You can own the hell out of a real quit by smashing each and every day or you can half-ass it like FMBM did and end up caving again in a pit of nicotine fueled depression. You know how to stop. Now it's time to Quit. Every one of the last 504 days, I've thought of the shame I brought to the Titans and indeed YOU, who reached out and honored me with being a HOF Conductor. I post support with the Titans not because they need it, but because it is a reminder of what I did. The nic bitch has a curious way of healing negative thoughts with time. If you let it happen, you could drift and almost forget what happened. Fuck that. Eat it, own it and kick some ass.

400!!!
Congratulations on another great milestone!
