Im not very good at this kind of stuff, but here goes nothing. I'm Chris, i have been doing some sort of tobacco since i was 16, so about 15 years. It started with smoking cigarettes in high school to be cool. Soon after i got sick of smelling like an ash tray so i started chewing. I figured it would be safer and easier to hide. Little did i realize it would be the hardest thing I would ever do to quit. About 5 years ago i did manage to stop for 9 months, and learned the hard way that once you quit you can never do it again, not even once. It took bumming one off of a friend while having a few beers, and i was hooked again, this time even worse then before. Right before my quit i was using over a can a day, having dental problems that i kept telling myself wasn't related to chewing, and just overall feeling like hell.
Now i'm 5 days into my quit and not looking back. This time just feels different, i know i will never do that shit again. 'Finger' I've got a wife of almost 3 years to help keep me in line, and looking forward to meeting some of you guys as well.
