You haven't been able to kick the habit, because it's not a habit. It's an addiction. Treat it as such.

We don't rely on luck around here. We rely on integrity, brotherhood, and keeping our word.

njohns is right. Post roll. Get involved with the community. Read as much as your schedule allows. Keep your word, and refuse to cave.
Dick's don't tell the truth, quitters do! I am a CPA, and for 17 years I chewed. Yes, 99% of the people think it is gross, so quit now and don't be "that gross guy".
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

First of all congrats on making the decision to kill the can and battle the nic bitch. In reading your intro I almost feel as if I have a chance to send a message to a younger me and tell him to not be a dumbass and dump the shit. You see I too was accounting and finance major and I did not drop the addiction but rather I let it grab a hold of me for an additional 10 years... let's put that into perspective for those 10 years I spent in excess of 3 grand a year on cat turds for the mouth. I don't know about you but I sure wish I had an extra 30k to do things with. Pay down loans, go on trips, pay for damn wedding this shit will get expensive for you in about 5 years ... my rambling point being is that I envy you and want you to succeed so yo don't fall in the trap I did where it is just a wish. My digits are already in your inbox hit up, let me know how it's going and tell me about that degree

Congrats on the best decision of your life! Literally. The first few weeks will be a roller coaster. Ride that mofo all the way through the tunnel and just accept the ride. There will be light at the end of the tunnel!

My digits are only a PM away, some of the biggest mistakes people make on here is not getting phone numbers before they need them and then when the going gets rough, they donÂ’t have them and have no one thatÂ’s just a quick help text away and end up back on the cat turds.

Not dipping is a lifestyle I will never be tired of living!

Welcome to the first step. Now get into your group and post roll. As a finance guy think of roll as compound interest, you get in there make your promise one day at a time and each day you do so builds on the next. Soon you're 100 days quit and a couple hundred dollars richer by not using that poison. Make friends here and good luck on your last term of school. Time to kick some ass as you kick this can.

Hi everyone,

I had my last dip yesterday morning. I'm finishing up my final semester of a finance degree, and I figured it's the right time to quite considering I'm about to enter a new stage of life.

I've been chewing for seven years. I grew up in a small town, and nearly all my buddies chewed growing up. I was always a strongly willed person, and I told myself I could quite whenever I wanted. However, over time I've realized that just isn't true, and I've wanted to quite for a long time. The school I'm at is in a city, and I only know of one other person at this place that chews. Despite not having any dipping buddies here and everyone thinking it's gross, I haven't been able to kick the habit.

I've tried quitting more times than I can count. I have made it past the two week mark a few times, but something always pulled me back to it. It's always been my best stress reliever and a connection back to life in my home town, but I'm done fucking around now, that's why I joined this place.

I look forward to getting to know people in my quite group, and wish everyone luck!
Glad to see that you feel you are ready to take on this challenge. Now get in and post roll in your Quit Month!!! Posting roll is the only price of admission here!!
