My name is Mark. I quit on the evening of 14 December 2010. 2 long days so far. I started chew when I was 15. I joined the military at 17 and chew was the thing to do so never even tried to quit or thought of it. Got out of the military in Dec. 1991 and quit all tobacco in 95. 98 joined the National Guard. Was mobilized after 9/11 and started the chew again. It is amazing it was like I never quit, went to same amount a day as before I quit. Powerful stuff. Have tried to quit a few times, never worked because it was not for me. This time it is for me I want to quit.

Two things .....

1. Thank you for your service.

2. I am very proud to be your brother-in-quit.

Both of the above mean more than I have the words to express.

Sapp,

I have a similar story myself. If you're still in the Guard it makes it even harder because tobacco is a part of the culture. I'm still in and it is a bitch. Anytime I put on boots it seems like I'm out of uniform without those delicious leaves. Stay strong...stay quit...keep your head down. I'd rather have a glorius death then a hole in my throat. You're a warrior...you can do this. Lets quit again tomorrow.

Welcome to the suck. It is the best pain in the world...the feeling of recovery. Find your quit group (march 2010), post roll everyday and repeat. Don't worry about forever, just promise each day to stay nic free. Then keep your word.

If you want to quit bad enough, you will. You are in control now. "yesterday + 1" is your new motto. You've taken the first step, we're here to help you with the rest. Don't let us down...we're counting on you!!!
