Quitting for the last time

Jump in  post roll. Quitting with others does make it easier.

Welcome Nate! You've made a great decision and I wish I had made that decision when I was as young as you. I didn't find my way here until I was 49 years old. I had my first dip before JV football practice when I was in 8th grade. I threw up and went home "sick". You'd think after that I would have never put chew in my mouth again, but nicotine is really addictive and I figured out how not to puke. Was your experience like that?

If you can't go 5 days without nicotine you need quit with others. You need to be accountable. Your quit group is here. When you wake up in the morning post roll here. That means that you are promising everyone on this site that you will not use nicotine for the next 24 hours.

You will probably fuck up roll the first few times but that is OK - someone here will fix it. The important thing is that you are quitting for the day.

you can do this! It's hard work but well worth it. Make some contacts and make sure you post roll first thing each morning. I don't think I would have made it this far without making that commitment to be nicotine free each day.

Hey guys. I'll be 21 next month but I've been chewing for exactly 4 years almost to the day. It all started when my buddy came back from the ARMY. He's a couple years older than me but we were hanging out and drinking one night, shooting the sh*t when he takes out a can of Cope Wintergreen. He told me to give it a try so I did just that and threw in a lip. My first dip was unpleasant and I didn't dip again until a month later when summer league baseball started. I noticed a few guys on my team chewing that I hadn't paid attention to before. I noticed because I was now familiar with what it was and how it made me feel. I got suckered into taking more dips when I was on the field and in the dugout and soon enough I found myself going to the store to buy tins a few times a week. Next thing you know, I had been chewing for well over a year. I was a closet chewer for about 2 years until my parents found my spitter under my bed one day. None of my family members chew so they were pretty upset and wondered how I picked up the habit. I told them I'd quit but I just couldn't kick the habit no matter how hard I tried. I'd say the longest I've gone without a dip in the last 4 years is about 5 days. Recently I decided enough was enough because I knew chewing would be the death of me eventually especially whether it was in 20 years or 60 years from now. I'm currently on day 3 of my quit and it's absolute hell. I've been chewing sunflower seeds and drinking water to help take my mind off things. I'm going to try my best to stay committed to this quit though. I know there are going to be hard times ahead but I know deep down I can do this. Good luck to everybody else on this post and I look forward to getting to know some of you guys and hearing your stories and helping you stay clean.

"I knew chewing would be the death of me" It will be if you keep putting that poison in your lip. Good to quit now.

"I'm going to try my best..." That isn't good enough. Change that. Remove 'to try my best'. Instead say: "I'm going to stay committed to this quit." That's an all-in approach. That try shit is for guys that want to leave the door open so they can say: "Aw shucks, I gave it a try and it just didn't work out- I'll go finger fuck a cancer can."

Keep drinking the water. Read as much on this site as you can. Read about the guys who didn't quit and ended up with half their face sawed off, their throat cut open and in the worst cases dead.

Good choice on quitting, now put the effort in to see it through.

Too many guys quit when it's too late.

Don't be one of those guys. Don't be on that end of the statistics.
