I started using chewing tobacco when I was 18 years old, all of my buddies on the ball team did it. So I've been doing it for almost six years now. At first it was cool and felt nice to get the buzz along with the juice in my mouth right after a big meal. BUT NOW, it seems like i have a chew in my mouth 18 hours of the day. I absolutely hate the fact that I still do this nasty crap. I wake up every morning saying today is the day, but by lunch time I often fail. I hate the feeling of a horse throat, heartburn, burning lips, and ripped up gums. I'm sick of having a water bottle full of brown spit in my car and around my work desk everyday. I've been with my girlfriend now for six months and she has no idea I dip (she would be totally grossed out if she knew). Every time before we hang out I always have to clean my car to ensure there are no bottles cans floating around my car. It's crazy, before I took that first dip I never would have thought about doing this stuff, but now it's hard to kick it. I've tried hundreds of times but failed. I've quit for periods of up to 60 days but ended up chewing again. I've chewed lots of different stuff but this last year I've been chewing grizzly wintergreen pouches. I'm really hoping I can get the encouragment and support to quit here. Hopefully this will be a good outlet. This is one of my last options. I know If I can quit this my whole world can change. I haven't had any dip in a few hours, so my official quit date is tomorrow september 14th, 2011. Please give any guidance or encouragement that you can....all is greatly needed and appreciated... Thanks a lot
Jay
