One day at a time, the struggles get easier to deal with. Winning is a great thing.

A word of suggestion... I'm the resident booze guy in these parts. Booze is my business, but even I laid off the sauce for the first few months. It lowers inhibitions and makes us vulnerable at a time when we need to be on our A game. Many a quit have been derailed by booze - so please be careful.

Dude you should be really proud of what you are doing. You are taking your life back, and the added benefits of quitting will spill over to all other facets of your life. Thank you for your continues service to our great nation.

What he said^^^^! Badass quitters already lining up to help you! Get in here get some numbers, get seeds,fake tobacco, candy, water just whatever helps you stay quit! Also help your brothers at all cost they need you, just like you need them! Just an addict trying to help another addict!

Nice intro, badass! As far as posting and forum stuff goes, here is my take as a fellow Goon. Every day, read all of the posts that were made while you were gone. Supporters and Goons alike deserve a read. You never know what you might miss if you just blast to the most recent post. After you have found the most recent roll post, follow the instructions and post roll. If you screw up, oh well. We will fix it. In the beginning, just get your butt in here early, every day. Quit for today, that's all we need and today I'm quit with you.

Hey gents,
Just wanted to introduce myself to the group. I took my first dip in 2004, and have finally decided to kick it. Not sure what got in to me, I had just celebrated my 33rd birthday and since 33 was always my go-to number in sports it felt like the right time to get rid of such a nasty and dangerous habit. I'd given it up for New Years for the last 4-5 years but never got it done. I thought I was going to step down, transferring from long cut to pouches to shredded beef jerky. Got stuck at step 2. Guess that's the mentality of one with an addiction. I think it got most real for me after I threw my last pouch in the garbage can on the evening of March 20. I had a jack 'n coke which was a bad idea, because 1 turned into 2 and then I fished that pouch out of the can like George Costanza with that eclair in Seinfeld. The next morning I was disgusted with myself and resolved myself to never sink to such a low as that again. So here it is, day 5. I've had a number of beers since quit day, and the urge is strong to go get a can. But fuck! I dug through garbage to re-dip a fucking pouch. That shit is horrible. It fucks with your head so badly. It's my turn to be in charge. I can't just step down gradually. I just have to rip that fucking cancer out of my face before it kills me, not to say it hasn't already done enough damage.
Ok, rant over. And I guess I forgot to introduce myself. That's what this thread is for, right? My name's Joel, I'm a 5-year Marine Corps Vet. Recently discharged, graduating from college this fall and hopefully starting Police Academy this August. I re-tore my shoulder so I had to put the academy off for awhile. Just hope I'm healed up and ready to go this fall. Looking to join a new gun club and start my civilian career. I live in Oceanside, CA with my wife and 2 year-old daughter. I'm a huge sports nut. I'm from the Bay Area originally so I'm an A's, 49ers and Sharks fan. Before shoulder surgery I was about a 4.5-5 handicap golfer, and look forward to the long battle back to that.
Anyhow, glad to meet all of you guys. I've got a feeling I'm gonna need all the help I can get. I'm a total Newb to forums like this so if anyone has any pointers or suggestions on how to better participate let me know. I'm gonna try and get on here once a day to check in. Semper Fi!
