Hello all,
My name is Jake and i'm from South Dakota. Pretty much been chewing since i was a young 16 year old dumbass. I tried quitting a few times over the years. A week here or a month there but i would just start smoking to get my nic fix. I've tried the patch a few times and it would work, but as soon as i took the patch off I'd feel like shit for a few days and i'd go back to chewing.Â
I can't figure out why i ever even got hooked on that nasty shit. The first time was a nasty pinch of Skoal cherry and it sent me running out of the duck blind with the squirts and some dry heaves. Yet after 18 years here i am trying to quit that nasty shit. I never thought i could until I saw this massive online community of quitters, now I know that with support from all of you, i've got a shot and i 'll get it done. I owe it to myself, my wife, and our three beautiful children. My quit started on 9-28-13. Thanks to all who have reached out to me so far!

Welcome, you've come to the right place my friend. Only one thing i can promise happens around here. QUITTING!!
Let's start by getting your mind in the right place.
1 You stated you used the patch before and it worked. If that was true you wouldn't be here. The patch or any other nrt does not work and you are proof.
2 You stated you don't know how you got hooked. Well if by the word hooked you mean addicted i have your answer. Your addicted to one of the most addictive drugs known to man. This is why 1 is to many and 1000 is never enough. Realize this and you can begin to take your life back.
3. You stated you are trying to quit. Throw try, maybe and hope in the same place you trashed your stash. We don't try,, we QUIT!!!
Go top left,,,, welcome center. Read and learn how and why we post roll. Pay particular attention to why. You will be surprised at how much accountability and support will help you. I, like you, was unsuccessful many times at quitting. What has made all the difference is the support and accountability this site offers. If my calculations are right you will be on day 6 and in the January hof group. Join us, stay a while and make some friends. Glad to be quit with you.
