Well I found this site earlier this morning, and I figured if I am really going to quit dipping that I will probably need some outside support. So here I am. I'm 22 years old, and I have been dipping for aboout 5 years. The main thing that got me started dipping in the first place was playing baseball and always being surrounded by it and giving into the peer pressure like a dumbass. Ever since then I have been hooked on it. I want to quit basically because the shit is gross and I really don't want to lose half of my jaw or face one day.
Ultimately, the only thing to blame for your addiction is YOU. The support this site provides is very helpful, but ultimately, the only person responsible for your quit is YOU.
That's a familiar tale, BHard. You will find many ball players here - some of us have the balls to quit, some wear a skirt. Ask yourself, do you want to be doing this 20 years from now? Quitting will never be easier than it is today. Quit right now, in April. Tell you teamates this is no fuckin' joke. You can do this. We'll help.
Bhard, at the ripe young age of 22, it is in your best interest to quit. I wish I had your foresight when I was your age. Being 18 years your elder, you do not want to keep going down the path of being a user. I am glad you decided to quit.
As a father and a husband, I can tell you that tobacco has tarnished my life in ways only other users could understand. Use this sight to its fullest. You made a wise choice. Good luck and never hesitate to ask for help.
51 days ago I was right where you are at Bhard. Suffering through day 1 of my own quit. I can still picture sitting at my computer - crying. At first I thought it was because I felt so overwhelmed with the decison of quitting for the rest of my life. I have come to realize it was because I was so happy to find a website like KTC. A place where I can come for daily support if I am serious about quitting.
Spend the weekend reading as much as you can on this site. Post daily roll. Drink tons of water. Get some names and phone numbers from your quit group. PM me if you want my contact information. Get involved. The next few days will be very tough but I have no doubt you can do this!
I want to echo Paul528's sentiments. You are young and kicking this nicotene habit early will impact your life in ways you can not even imagine. I would love to be able to give you the future-vision necessary to see how important the decision you made today will be for you.
Now it's up to you to make it happen. Fight it one crave one day at a time.
