I have been one of those who have been lurking around this site for years. I have been chewing for years, ever since I graduated Ranger School in 97. I have been one of those dye hard addicts, I chewed pretty much 24/7. I never spit and often slept with a chew in and sometimes even ate with a chew in. Pretty bad right.
Just before the holidays I went for a dentist visit and they found some legions on my gums. I was told that they could only be one of four things and three of them where cancerous. I pretty much spent the whole holidays this year staring at my kids thinking about how I would tell them that I had mouth cancer.
Today I had my follow up visit.........I got a clean bill of health. apparently I had the one out of the four things that was not cancerous. That was a little to close of a call for me. I have quit and started back up many times over the years. Now I feel like I was given a second chance, and this may be my last chance to quit before a doctor finds something that turns out to be cancer. I have to find a way to quit this time. I have quite for 4 days now. It has been complete hell. I almost got into a fight with a 90 LB little old lady at the grocery store this weekend and have been in that "fog for the last four days.
I am hoping this "scare" was enough to make me quite for good. Yes I am rambling but those of you who have quite will know why.
So hopefully with some support and advice, this will be the time I quite for good.
So lets get this shit started, one day at a time, quitting sucks ass but I have to make it work this time.
Any advice and help would be appreciated. I have to make this time my final time... I may not get another chance.

Welcome!
Drink lots of water.
Exercise
Focus on the task in front of you; push through the craves, one day, hour or minute at a time
You're starting a journey and there aren't any shortcuts. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep marching.
You've just gained a huge group of supporters that will help if you need it. USE IT.
Reach out to fellow quitters and build a web of accountability. You hold them to it and they will hold you to it.
This is one of the best decisions you've ever made.

Any advice and help would be appreciated.
The best advice I can give you is Post Roll EVERYDAY.
Here at KTC you aren't quit if your name isn't on roll.

I second what rdad said.
Plus, an added bonus is that you now have a nice looney bin (us) to vent your anger on. Come on in and get it all off your chest on us...we can take it!
Quit on brother!

Thank you for your service. I was you one year ago today. You can do this. It will suck until it doesn't, no bullshit. Make your promise to your group every day and no one will ever leave you behind.

'Popcorn'
I am awaiting your first Roll Post on here...
I am assuming that you read through the welcome center to learn how to post your introduction. Read a little bit further to "Quit Groups" and "How to Post Roll", then get your ass to your new barracks AKA "April 2016 Quit Group" for inspection.
This is the place where you will wake up early, post roll and pledge your promise to quit like fuck for that day. Then, lather, rinse repeat again tomorrow.

Come on quit hoping and just quit, post roll and quit.

You can hope in one hand and wish in the other, see which one fills up first. There is no hoping around KTC, just plain old fashioned gut wrenching in your face cold turkey quitting here. So you can either keeping hoping to quit or you can sack up and quit, your choice! Hell you graduated Ranger School man, you can can do this. Set your mind to the task and get it done. If you follow the rules here on KTC its fool proof. Not easy but fool proof. Post roll, keep your word, sleep, wake and repeat! Welcome to the Asylum!

Hey Second chance,
Congrats on your quit. I waited until I was 59. I finally quit and am on day 120. The main thing to do is not to focus on missing the dip but focus on anything else. The more you think about other things, the less you think about your quit.
I quit with you today.
