Time for a change

[RAZD611]

Hey everyone, my name is Jake and I am from North-Eastern Ohio. When I was 16 I started chewing; however, by the time I was 18 I was killing a can a day. Growing up I always saw my father with a can, so in my mind I thought this would be sometime acceptable in my family. I remember when he caught me with chew, lets just say it was difficult to take his lecture seriously when he had a dip in.

Currently I am about to turn 21, I have always told myself that I will quit next month and then come up with a weak ass excuse on why not to. Truth is, 5 years have flown by and I still haven't stopped. I know that 5 years may not be the longest time, but I don't want to be in this same situation in another 5 years.

My father is starting to show health problems, he constantly has stomach pains due to chewing tobacco. Currently I am on day 2 without chewing, I'm not going to lie I have stopped myself two or three times from going to the gas station to buy more. So I am stocked up on sunflower seeds and gum. Today seems so much harder than yesterday.

You'll never regret quitting but you may have many regrets if you do not. Don't be like many of us and put it off until marriage, kids, graduating college, etc. Quit now. It won't get any easier to quit later on. Stick with it and PM me any time.

Fungo is a wise man. Don't wait, today is a good day to stay quit. You will never regret it. What you will regret is when you are talking to your son telling him how stupid and irresponsible it is to dip/smoke wondering if he is taking you serious or just blowing you off because it must be ok because dad is doing it. You have made a wise decision. There is no going back.

I knew a guy who had most of his tongue removed in college.

I appreciate your insight. Actions. One day at a time.

Welcome, Jkos. I'm sure you realize now your father was trying to save you from becoming an addict like him. Like us.

Hopefully you realize now, you are one. Every last person in the KTC community is a nicotine addict. If you haven't ever completely gotten your mind around that, do it now. We're all addicts and we always will be.

The difference between us and other addicts is we don't use that shit anymore. We come here and post roll every day, and in doing so we promise ourselves and each other that we won't use nicotine for JUST THAT ONE DAY. And we post again the next day, and the next...one day at a time.

You will have LOTS of support here, but it comes down to you making a DECISION. And then no matter what comes, no matter how bad the cravings, no matter how screwed up your sleep, or how difficult it is to concentrate, you stand by your decision and do whatever you have to to keep nicotine out of your body.

Bravo Jkos15. You've found THE place for what ails you. You will find everything and more to keep your quit strong. There are guys and gals, yes gals, here that are balls to the wall determined to see you through all that you'll face in the months to come and beyond. There is no place I've seen with members like this. When you figure out how to get your Personal Messages, you'll find my number there. Use it if you feel overwhelmed or anxious about craving the Nic Bitch. She's a brutal whore who doesn't like to lose. Unfortunately for her, we don't like to lose either. Hang tough the first week and though you'll soon be 21, try to stay away from the booze. It has wrecked many a good quit.

Ah, young grasshopper...what wisdom you show to come in here at 21 yrs old. I too thought of and wanted to quit when I was 21. "next month" turned into 14 years in the blink of an eye. There is no tomorrow. Stay quit today, post roll and read absolutely everything you can find on here. You will do what very few could or can...realize at a young age that this is a deadly path to go down. Save your life...stay quit!
