...some of my ballbuster friends have been trying to get me to cave and have offered me a dip on several occasions.....Finally after the hundredth time I said sure what the heck! He gave me his open can and I dumped it in the snow! He cried like a baby but he won't ask again.

It would be wise to distance yourself from intellectual giants such as that.  He should have thanked you for allowing him to keep his teeth (at least until they rot out).

My Name is Tom.I am Married 30 years with 1 Daughter.

I am 22 days into my quit and finally navigating the site with the help of my new friends. I must say this quit has not been easy but much better than before with the help of so many. On to my Intro.....

I am 56 years old and have been chewing or dipping since I was 14 when my Grandfather first turned me on to it while working in his garden. As an athlete playing baseball through my high school years my addiction worsened. After high school and college I had a career in professional and collegiate baseball that lasted 30 years as an umpire.

They banned tobacco from the baseball field at the collegiate level and I ended my career shortly after.

I have been involved in politics in my community for over 25 years as a Mayor, Town Supervisor, and County Legislator.....never missing meetings or a dip during those meetings. In my real life outside of baseball and politics I worked for UPS for many years as a driver and for the last 15 years have represented those workers in our International Brotherhood of Teamsters Union as an Officer.

Again, never missing a meeting or a dip.....I have often thought about quitting and actually have stopped a few times...once for over 6 years and caving 3 years ago.

Last NY Eve afternoon at around 4:30 I was driving home after stopping for a few glasses of wine with the co workers....as I was putting a dip in slow moving traffic and steering with my elbow I rear ended a vehicle. Was charged with DWI and other tickets.

Had to have that dip! I quit 22 days ago....some of my ballbuster friends have been trying to get me to cave and have offered me a dip on several occasions.....Finally after the hundredth time I said sure what the heck! He gave me his open can and I dumped it in the snow! He cried like a baby but he won't ask again.

To that end this quit feels so much different. I have never had this type of support before. Thank you to all those who have reached out and exchanged digits and to all those future friends I am going to meet!

Damn, the DWI though....that is crazy bad.  All for a dip.  Sorry man, that’s a tough lesson to learn.  Glad you are here now - invest in this place and your quit and you won’t have to worry about nicotine screwing with your life anymore.  And you won’t be that gross guy with dips in all his meetings!

roflmao roflmao at dumping your buddies can out in the snow.  That's fucking hilarious.  No, he will never offer you any ever again.
If you want my digits, just ask and they will be yours, but I expect yours in return.

Accountability is a statement of personal promise, both to yourself and to the people around you, to deliver specific defined results.
Brian Dive

Do not be complacent about your achievements and not to strive for continual improvement when you get to the top. As soon as you let success go to your head, you sink into following familiar patterns and play it safe. In other words, you risk losing your edge.
Roy T. Bennett

You need anything, ask.  You feel strong, help.  This quit is for you but we got your back.

Do not let the actions of others determine the direction of YOUR quit.
