Hey all,
Ive had this crap in my mouth for 9 yrs, and I'm only 24. I kept telling myself that I'm young and there's no harm in it... I'll quit when I'm a little older and have a family, or whatever excuses I keep telling myself. It's time to quit now. I always made excuses (stressed out, etc) from being in the military, but it's time to stop letting this control me. It's motivating to see you all out there conquering and I can't wait to be successful like you all.
Congrats brother. I can't stress this enough... quit now!!! I started around the same age as you and said the same thing... when i graduate college... when i get a job... when i get married... when i have kids... i kept putting it off unitl the next "milestone". Trust me there will never be a right time to quit.
It's disgusting, expensive and it will kill you. The only reason you do it is because you are an addict. Get the shit out of your mouth now and soon you will realize that. I read on her many times, the only hole that shit is filling is the one its creating.
I'm not going to lie... the next few days for you are going to suck. Suck it up, take it one day at a time and get through it. Once it's behind you, you'll never have to do it again.
Count on the people here. If you need adivce, ask. If you need to freak out and complain, freak out and complain. But depend on your quit brothers and sisters. If you don't let us down, we won't let you down.
