My name is Chris. I've been thinking, researching, and preparing, and tomorrow is my day. I'm 34, and have been chewing different types and brands steadily since I was 17. Not sure exactly why or how, but I am up to 3+ cans a day now. If I'm off work for a few days, I can buy a roll a day. And that is greatly depressing to me, and I feel totally powerless. I easily spend $40 to $50 a week. And this kills me even worse. There have been many times in the past year, where we would be struggling to find gas money, but I always had chew. I was even unemployed for nearly 6 months two years ago, and I still had my chew. I do not feel good bout myself. I have tried quitting before, several times actually. Using patches, gum, herbal chew (no tobacco or nicotine), and it would work for a few days. Then I would get to the point where I feel like I've beat it it, and just one chew won't hurt. And that always lead to another can, and right back where I've been, and currently am again.
I know the withdrawal symptoms, and everything I have coming. I AM ready. Tonight is my last night. Please send me your support and advice. Tomorrow I will be posting Day 1!!
Wish me the best!!

I'm happy that you're planning to quit, it is a great decision. Why not quit right now? No time like the present. You should head over to live chat and log in and talk with the guys and girls there. You will get some great advice and support.

Welcome, you have made the right decision know its time to follow through with it. Make sure you post roll every day! There are a lot of people here willing to help you just need to ask for it.
-
You've got a PM from me. I'll get your back starting tomorrow as long as you're truly serious about quitting.

I agree quit now. Flush any can you have. If you can flush a good can of chew then your ready to quit.

Tomorrow,Tomorrow.....
The signature of an addict not committed!

Haha. Tomorrow is such bullshit. I wish we could wager on these ponies.

Your stats are nearly identical to mine. We've even both quit before, and then caved.
You know as well as I do: the first day isn't so bad, because you're on an adrenaline rush of staying quit. The second day is a bit harder, because you're a little tired of quitting. The third day just plain-ol' sucks, and you're likely to do something stupid unless you have good accountability with other folks. After that, each day becomes a bit easier, as quitting becomes the new habit.
Hang in there, buddy. I'm quitting right alongside you. Don't let me down. I'll see you in Roll Call tomorrow morning.

Jun 17th, you could a week quit by now....
Another good one I used to say was after this can, or this weekend, or father's day, etc. all good ideas like tomorrow. But not as good as today.

Today is the only day to quit, which is why I did so!
Grizz, I wouldn't bet on "tomorrow" quitters with house money............
