Well I had set my quit date for Jan. 1, last night I spent alot of time reading through the stories on here and it got me thinking. So I dumped my last can in the garbage and posted my first roll call today. Just wanted to thank everyone on this site, your stories are great..
Fantastic!! I was going to quit "my own way" on "my own time" - because that has worked so fucking well in the past. My brother is an HoFer on the site kept pestering me in his "I don't want to impose on your quit" kind of way to join this site and do it quick.

Best damn thing I have done in my entire quit. This site is full of wisdom and distraction - 2 things I need more of. You can make it.
Quit date 12/10/09

Just found this site yesterday, it made me start thinking a lot about giving up this nasty habit. So today I joined the site and set my goal date to Jan. 1st. I am going to try to take the remaining days of this year and slowly slack off. I have always been an avid Redman chewer, I would always have a chew in, even fell asleep with it in a few times. A couple months ago when the price went up so high I decided to quit. So being stupid I thought I would dip instead of chew and wing myself off of it. Needless to say know I do both, dip most of the time but still find myself carving that tasty chew. So guess now all there is to do is quit. Wish me luck.

You don't need luck. You need balls.

And a much better reason to quit - the cost won't do it. Luckily, it won't take too long for you to find better reasons. Have a wife? Kids? Do you like living? Do you like being a slave to a drug that does absolutely nothing for you?

You have a quit date. Good. Stick to it. We're all here to help with the rest.
Dean is so damned right. I have tried to quit numerous times because I thought it was what I should do. Finally, it hit me, it is what I have to do. It is what I have to do for my wife who chose to spend the rest of her life with me (not fair to her), for my kids who had no choice at all, for my brother - thanks PbKid, for my health (read Jenny  Tom Kern's Story). Make you list of pros and cons. You pros will be really short - perhaps 1 item long.

Trust me, DeanTheCoot knows of what he speaks. The man has put me in my place and I am the stronger for it. Get quit.
Thanks guys for the reponses. I read some of you forums Dean you are one funny SOB. I am looking forward to using this site as a support to help me quit. Reading the Jenny and Tom Story makes things real clear. I forwarded that story and a link to this site to a Friend of mine you dips. After talking to him he to has decided to take the quit journey with me. I told him that we would help each other and that we would use this site to help us both. January 1 I plan on posting my Roll Call 1.
Just wanted to thank both of you for taking the time to reply to my intro.
