Hello and goodbye

[satarch1]

welcome aboard divarty...five days down and one more to go.. That's how you do it. Wake up each day and promise your buddies in October that you won't dip that day. Then, fight like hell to get through the day. The good news is that you're not fighting alone. You've got everyone in October and everyone else on this site to help you. Just read and post everyday and PM if you think you need to.

Nice to have you. Really enjoyed your post today.

Hi all, I'm 35 years old, I started dipping Copenhagen in the army at 21, that puts me right around 14 years of stupid. On Monday July 14th I took my last dip. I hadn't planned on quitting, hadn't put a lot of thought into it at all. In fact I still have a can with 4 pouches left in in sitting in my bag that I have not and will not touch.

I'm sick of it, I hid it from my coworkers, my friends, my wife. Im tired of the planning how and where I'm going to get a dip, when will my stash run out, how can I carry it without the wife knowing. For the last 14 years I have been held captive by this shit and I allowed it to happen. Found this site with google, looking for the effects of quitting after 14 years, and Im glad I did. Reading some of the posts have made me chuckle, made me think, given me the extra kick I needed to get through that craving without going and buying a can.

As this was a secret from my wife, friends and coworkers this site is my support system. I want to thank all the people that run this site and all the people that participate, you guys were a light at the end of the tunnel for me (and Im only 72 hours in but I can see the end because im commited).

I have tried to quit before, long ago a number of times, always for other people, this ones for me, and this quit is gonna stick.

Sorry for the rambling, Im just starting to get my second wind after the first 3 days of fog and 'bang head' So the hello is to you guys and the goodbye is to the monkey thats been on my back for 14 years.
