Archer,

Welcome aboard!! Congrats on making a great decision. 25 years of chewing...all started while playing rugby in college. Finally got my head straight and sacked up. I'm 120 days in and now I know that nicotine doesn't solve any problems...only creates more.

Played rugby for 5 years in college and 5 years after with a men's team. Just started coaching last year. Assistant coach for high school boys and girls and head coach for youth touch and tackle. I was mostly a second row but played some #8.

Glad to have you with us and proud to be quit with you. PM me if you want my digits and accountability.

Hey archer, I have a story that is pretty identical to yours...

I started dipping in high school playing rugby and I also tried to quit off and on for years. Those stoppage were just that stoppages. Now that I have found this site and created this set of accountability I know I will fight it every day and never touch that shit again.

With that being said this quit has to be for you because it is what you want. Family can be a benefactor of our choice to quit for ourselves but only we can be ones to quit every day! That's not to say support is not great !! Every one loves a great cheerleader...

Our similarities don't stop there I just turned 31 last week. I also just had my very first beautiful baby (girl) ~3months old. My wife did not know I was dipping and I was a ninja dipper for the 8 years we were together. That was until about 34 days ago our maid left a tin she found while cleaning on the kitchen counter. She told me how selfish I was and I agree with her, the money I spent behind the family back, the chance that baby might ingest any particles and the chance that I was doing something that could take even a day away from me and my family in the future.

We are doing much better now about a month later and I live on this site to make my hatred for the turds more and more each and every day !

We are all here to quit with you each and every day!

Stay quit and fuck the can let's kill it together. I'm with ya brother.

Hi guys my name is Ron, father to a beautiful 16 month old boy and husband to a wife that has been with me through thick and thin. I've dipped for 12 years. Started when I was playing Rugby in college. I've tried quitting so many times, every time I had a mouth sore I said this is it I'm done. And then things would get "stressful" and I'd go back to it. I told myself I'd quit when Liam was born, and then that turned into when he was 1, and then it was my 30th birthday. My wife found the secret tin I hid under my desk table tonight. She told me I was a selfish SOB and that she's gonna end having to explain to our son why daddy has no jaw someday. I've gotta quit this guys - for good. My marriage, my family, my future with my son are all on the line. Shoutout to CMark for already helping me in the road to recovery.
Look up the definition of ADDICTION. I'm going on memory here, but addiction is a compulsive behavior done despite the user knowing it's harmful.

We know it destroys our health/relationships/careers but we do it anyway.

That's why we have to quit for ourselves. Only. Not for your wife or your son or those little white bumps inside your cheek.

You have to quit because you are tired of using. You have to quit because YOU want to be quit.

That it makes your wife pleased, that it makes you a better example for your son, that it increases the chances of keeping your jaw - those are all bonuses.

Post roll daily. Stay quit.
