Title: Kicking the tin for real this time
Post by: Frostbite25 on May 12, 2015, 12:39:00 AM
I am finally kicking the tin to the curb this time.

I am 23 years old and have been chewing consistently for 5 years now. I did it occasionally when I was 16. A couple of my HS hockey teammates did it and I went with the flow. I got to college and was a bit of a hermit. Played open hockey, school, gamed and worked... a lot. I would have the occasional dip, but it got progressively worse. Now I am chewing a tin a day. I've been telling myself "today is the day I quit. Today is the day I finally change my life." I never followed through with it. I tried, time and time again to stop. I never had enough will power to do it. Seeds, gum, toothpicks, lozenges, that Smokey Mountain stuff that tastes like absolute shit, I've tried it all. I even quit for a whole month, but succumbed back into the old habit. I'm a routine guy, and this was a routine and habit that is so hard to break. My fiancee is always telling me to stop, but I just stopped doing it around her. I work like crazy now, 50 hours a week, while going to school full time. Not a lot of my friends have used tobacco, so it's hard to go to them for support or help.

But today is the day I finally say no more. Today is the day I better myself.

I will need your guys support. Not only am I doing it for myself, but for my fiancee.

I was inspecting my mouth and found some of my gums turning white. That was my final straw with it. Dentists appt. set up soon, but I had never known there was a site to help me through it. I had known all about sites about all the bad things chewing can do, but nothing like this.

I'm looking forward to reading everyone else's posts to help me through this.

So 'Finger' tin, I'm done.

Sounds like a good idea but first it's not a habit your an addict. Second after seeing hundreds of well intended addicts express their desire to quit your age group seems to have a difficult time because you lack the decades of failed attempts. Third if you don't post roll you will likely just sneak a dip while lurking here. Prove you have what it takes!

Yeah brother. Were all here for you. Take it seriously cause you sound just like me at your age. Let me be the one to tell you that one can a day will turn into 3 cans a day. Remember ROLL CALL and grab some digits. Without some of my awesome brothers here talking me through the withdrawl I would have failed again. See you over at the A-Team!
