KeithTownBU –My name is Keith Townsend and I have now been quit for 100 days! What a fantastic feeling and it’s only going to get better at time continues. I honestly can’t remember the age I started dipping, but I believe I was somewhere around 15. I’m now 32, so I was a dipper for more than half my life….ridiculous. I live in northern, VA just outside DC, married, 2 dogs, mortgage, and work for a federal contractor onsite at a classified federal customer (pretty much the norm). I was a Skoal Mint dipper for over 10 years, and before that I ran through the various flavors. I can honestly say that I don’t miss it. I feel so much better. I have been working my ass off to keep off the weight, and I’m only up 5 lbs. I know I haven’t been the most active poster, and I understand the rules and why daily posting is important, but for me it’s been enough just to stay honest with myself, all of you, and do what I needed to do to stay quit. Even though I only posted about 70-75 times over the last 100 days, I can honestly say that without this group, I never would have stayed quit, and will continue to stay quit. I might be in the DogHouse, but I’ve stayed Quit! I haven’t decided if I’m going to sign up for 200 yet, but I plan on continuing to post as often as I can. I know I will stay quit though, and if I ever feel compelled to end my quit, I will make sure to contact the group to talk me out of a stupid choice. Thank you all for continuing to encourage and support me in my quit. I’m so happy I found this site. Both me and my wife thank you!
