Hey my name is Mason and I'm currently on day 7 of being quit. I'm a senior in highschool and started when I was a freshman. I was introduced to chew during football by some guys on the team. I liked it and got addicted. During the summers I would chew a can every day at work at the golf course. This year I messed up my foot in our last football game and eventually had to get surgery. After surgery I felt like crap and never felt like chewing! I couldn't really go get it either because I couldn't drive. This lasted for about a month; but then one day at a basketball game I gave in and took a dip with one of my friends . I had forgotten how good it was and started up again. A few weeks later I turned 18 and could buy my own chew so of course I didn't want to quit. One day I was doing homework and took a dip as usual while doing homework. I felt like a piece of crap after and was tired of hiding it from my parents for so long. That's when I found this site and decided to make a change. I read some stories about guys who had friends die from it and didn't want to become another statistic. That's about all there is to know about me. I hope I get to know some of you better and can talk/give eachother advice!
You don't want to be another statistic, I like that logic. Then, QUIT and fucking stay QUIT. Statistics would probably say a kid your age doesn't have the balls enough to quit, and will probably give into peer pressure as you have already, like at a basketball game or something.
If you're really serious about quitting then this is the right place. I know personally I will do all I can to help you quit. If I could go back in time in punch myself in the face a million times every time I put in a dip at such a young age, I would. But I can't. So I would like to help you.
Either your the smartest, bad ass mother fucker in your class for actually wanting and seeking out help to quit, or your fucking around and just feeling bad knowing you shouldn't be doing something behind your parents back.
Either way, I'll take a chance on you and I bet a lot of other guys will too.
