Welcome you have come to right place I can't believe how much the people on here have helped me. A serious addict getting help from other serious addicts is awesome. We alone are weak, but together we are unstoppable!

I think I stopped when I was 27 too. Didn't last long though. Didn't make a good enough effort I guess. I quit with you and this time, let's make it permanent!!

Hi Guys!

I'm 27, started when I was a little over 16 playing hockey. I'm sure you've heard the story before, tried a bunch of times and failed. I'm seeing an amazing girl and she was always encouraging me to quit, so this time I'm putting in a more serious effort. Taking a 4-day trip to the mountains to get away from the city for a bit, and today is Day 1. I quit once in 2007 for about three months, but that was mostly because I was a poor university student and I couldn't make the choice of dip over food. Again in 2010 but I fell off the wagon after a bad breakup and haven't even given a half-assed attempt to quit since then.

I think everyone likes to list their reasons for quitting, and mine are probably nothing special. I would get off work and instead of joining my friends for a beer I always wanted to go home first, have a dip, and invariably have it get in the way of my social life. That's pretty ridiculous. Don't like what it was doing to my gums, and don't want to be dependent on shit for the rest of my life. The cost was/is definitely some strong motivation to quit - a can in Alberta is now almost $30. $900 a month for a stupid habit. $10 grand a year. I could have a nice second car or two vacations a year for what I spend on this shit.

Just about to hit the road here to drive to the mountains and I've got a log of smokey mountain herbal chew, a bag of spitz, and a whole case of bubble gum along with the support of my amazing girlfriend to get me through the first couple of days, and you guys to lean on and help me with the rest of it. Even though I'll be in the mountains there is still cell reception so I'll be able to post roll.

Thanks for reading. Looking forward to supporting my fellow quitters, and leaning on you for support when I need it.

Welcome to KTC. I hate to be the first one to call you out on BS right away but please allow me to correct a couple of your items...you never quit using before, you stopped. When you quit you are quit no take backs PERIOD. Yes your story sounds just like mine and many others here. We are all addicts, but what makes us quitters is our resolve to quit because we want what is best for us.

This is not easy and I applaud you for picking today and making it day one. Keep in mind amazing women are great but do not quit for her, quit for you and you alone, and then enjoy being able to kiss her at anytime without needing to spit out a wad. I see you are good at math as well, it gets quite disappointing when you run your figures. My figures are that I chewed through at least $20,000 worth of tobacco during my use, and that would buy a lot of cool shit, amazing that I spent that much trying to get cancer. So far though I have saved $6.980 since July of 2013.

So my next advice is similar to others, drink lots of water, find a new crutch (red hots candy is my bitch) and exercise. Find a way to meet or talk to other quitters in your area. If you are by chance near Denver there are some awesome quitters near you (assuming by mountain comment).

Use the tools here and walk this path because I can tell you from experience KTC methods work.
