Hey Andy, Remember how proud you were of making it 16 days when you posted your intro? And look at you now! 200 days Quit from something that's as addictive as heroine. Kicking a 2 can a day habit! That's huge man! Glad to see you make it this far and proud to see you posting with me in July EDD! I wish I had gotten free of this thing when I was 33.

Congrats on 200!
Just one and you will be back where you started.
And where you started was desperately wishing
you were where you are right now.

Getting active here, staying active here, posting roll every day. That's your best insurance for a successful, lasting quit.

You've been around the block. You know how fast a full blown addiction comes back once you give it an inch. Don't give nicotine the chance. Quit with us.

Good work getting to day 16 on your own. Why don't you join your quit group? And post roll with them everyday. (July 2016) Being active and posting roll everyday makes quitting a lot easier and sometimes actually fun.

I am 33 and have been chewing since I was 19... Started out a tin a week and got as bad as 2 tins a day. I started chewing mainly out of boredom and it slowly progressed into a full blown addiction. I really didn't realize how horrible of a drug nicotine was until I tried to quit several times in the past. My quits in the past haven't been serious attempts in my mind, I feel like I would set myself up for failure and look for the asy way out. Last April I was planning on quitting but for some reason I just kept pushing it off, and wham it was almost another year gone by of chewing. It seems the older we get the faster time fly's by. Well not this time I haven't had a trace of nicotine in my system since 04/20/2016 10:00 am and I am damn proud of myself for getting this far. I think that the first 3 days were the hardest for me to overcome and quite honestly I didn't think I would make it 24 hours. The strength of my quit comes from the days I have behind me. I thought I could kick this habit alone but it feels like the fog has came in hard and heavy on day 16. Thanks.
