For the last two years, I've felt like that Jason Aldean song "Don't Give Up on Me". I must have quit 100 times, I guess I'll just keep on quitting til it sticks. This time is the last. While I can't say I don't enjoy chewing, I do, but I'm tired of having this monkey on my back. I'll be damned if some stupid choice I made when I was 17 to help me suck weight is gonna define my life anymore. Here's the stats:

My name is Jason, I'm 31, have a beautiful wife and two amazing girls. I've been chewing pretty much since I was about 17, with a few quits here and there. My longest quit was just about a year, and I've probably had 10 between 2 days and 2 weeks. I started out chewing to give me something to do instead of eating or drinking (water) so I could make weight for wrestling. I've been thinking about quitting pretty much everyday for the last 5 years, but up til this point, I just don't think I had resolved myself to the fact I was going to. I've always rationalized that I'll quit for a couple of weeks and then I can have the occassional chew; yeah, that hasn't worked out so well. This time I'm ready.

I found this site yesterday, ordered up some fake chew, chewed my last chew before bed and here I am today. To all my fellow newbie quitters out there, good luck. If you're like me, you know the first few days/weeks will absolutely blow. I'm ready to do!!!
Welcome. I feel like I've read this same exact story about 500 times in the past 6 months. If you are indeed serious then the tools are here to help you quit. Make sure you post roll every damn day.

Congrats Jaybird, if you're here to quit, you're in the right spot.

First thing is first though, your vocabulary is wrong. You have never quit before, you've only stopped....quitting is forever, stopping is temporary.

Now that the vocab lesson is over on to the important shit. This site (and your quit) are all about effort, the effort your put into your quit and this site is what you will get back. If you post roll and leave every day, you will not stay quit. If you post roll, stay, read, post, jump in chat, text/call other quitters, post in wildcard, etc. your quit will be much stronger.

Posting your promise on roll doesn't magically keep you quit, but the accountability of your brothers and sisters does. For this to happen you have to actually know them, not just their screen name. Make a real, honest to God connection with other quitters and you will stay quit!

PM me if you need digits, have questions or just want to chat.

Fuck Yeah Jaybird. not only did you give a nice intro you also posted roll. Do that everyday from here on out and you'll be in good shape. The next couple of weeks are going to suck. But you can do this. Reach deep inside of you and find as much hate for dip as you can. The hate will have to outweigh the desire. At first they will weigh close to the same but as time goes on the hate will weigh the same but the desire will weigh less and less. Get after it brutha!
First - Congrats on making a great choice!!! Post roll, read all you can, and repeat. ONE DAY AT A TIME is your new motto. Nobody quits forever...that's too hard. All we do is quit for today. You give us your word that you won't have anything to do with nicotine today. Then we all fight like hell to keep our word.

Couple of comments from your intro - you didn't "enjoy dipping." I know you think you did. But you actually liked getting your nicotine fix. Some say they
like the routine, packing the can, etc. BULLSHIT. You're an addict. Addicts will tell themselve anything in order to get their fix. What you enjoyed is nicotine relieving you of your withdrawal symptoms. You rationalized the rest. Trust me on this...I thought the same way. I lied to myself for years...we all did. You're among friends here. We get it.

Also, I love that you wished your quit group luck. Your heart is in the right place. But luck doesn't have shit to do with what we're doing here. We (you included) are bad-ass quitters. We don't give a fuck what happens today, we WILL NOT put that shit in our bodies today. You gave us your word on that and we expect you to keep it. Luck applies to things you can't control...matching winning lotter numbers, for example. There is no luck involved in deciding that come hell or high water you will not put poison in your fave today. That was your DECISION.

Like I said, read all you can, then read it again. Read the Tom and Jenny Kern story. You're in the right place, brother. You got this.

Welcome. Sounds like you're getting your mind right this time. For me, that was the biggest battle.

You never quit before, you just took a couple breaks. We all did that. It meant diddly squat to me until I figured that out. I've seen it written here that we only have one quit in us. Make this your quit.

Get acquainted with your quit group and make posting roll part of your schedule EVERY DAY. Everything else is just details.

Reach out if you need anything. Send a PM if you have questions.

EDIT: I would suggest that, up to this point, Jason Aldean's "I Ain't Ready to Quit" has been the pathway. That's a strong song.

Excellent job on posting Roll!!!

I would really think through the 'Like Chewing' thoughts. Think about this, do you really like increasing the chances of losing half your face and reducing your life span? Do you enjoy carrying around and dealing with bottles of dirty nic spit? Do you like sneaking a dip? Do you enjoy being addicted to an evil bitch?

I think if you think this through you can learn to HATE nicotine. That will help your quit. It helps mine.

Stay the course, read this site, drink a shitload of water, run, do pushups, eat seeds, chew gum whatever you need. POST ROLL EVERY DAY!!!

When it gets really tough I counted minutes and seconds. Did you know there are 1800 seconds in 30 minutes? Do you really want to blow 1800 hard earned seconds of quit?

You got this. If you need a number PM me. I quit like fuck with you today.
