Quote from: Dimitrius
I miss everything about my Red Man now. Even the picture on the bag of the Native American who has a somewhat sad look on his face. Sometimes he would come out of the bag and talk to me. I could relate to him. He would listen to me tell him about all of my problems while I chewed my cud into nothing, and not say a word. He wouldn't judge me, or get bored with me; just listen. His face is all it took for me to open up about anything; everything. He was a good man, a quiet man, a reserved man. I am glad I saved the last bag I had, so I can keep looking at this man's face when I'm lonely with no one to talk to.
That fucker is a sonofabitch!

Life............It is just too short.

As I age, as I grow smarter, as I experience more - I realize how true those things are.

I learned something very sad and disturbing today.

A man I have worked with...Not "a man"...More like " a guy"...Oh, he was full grown. He had a wife. He had 3 kids. He was a good guy. He was younger than so many of us.

He was from Houston. He came to Denver so I could train him in operations. We spent time together and got to know each other.

He was a man. He was a guy. He was a friend.

He is dead today.

This bothers me very much.
Due to work and activities, I have been able to push this tragic fact to the back of my mind for most of the day and night. Alone now, I have time to reflect.

I wish I didn't.

I don't know where to post this. I don't know how many will read it or care. I guess I just need to say my piece.

My friend is dead. He died of kidney failure. It was not expected. It caught everyone unaware. As I said, he had a wife and 3 kids...3 kids....That brings tears to my eyes and chokes me up.

He didn't smoke, drink, or dip. He drank iced tea and loved his family....

We all were poisoning ourselves for years, yet here we are. Alive to read this.

We've all heard it many, many times. Life is too short.

We've been messing with karma for too long, yet still we are here and mostly fine...

Stop messing with karma. If you are reading this, you are hopefully quit. If you aren't quit - do it now.

My friends death has nothing to do with dipping, but it brings so many important things to the fore front...

Priorities...Sometimes it takes terrible things to make you see what they really are. You are the priority. Take care of yourself so your family and friends don't suffer.

I don't want to lose any more friends. So, so, many of you mean so much to me. I couldn't stand to lose you.
Sorry to hear about your friend Remmy. You and his family have my condolences.
I am so sorry to hear this, sad as it is, thank you for posting this up. Thank you for the confidence and consideration to include us in your trials and tribulations. How many years have most of us been living on borrowed time? How long will it be before we will have to pay the rent? Think about it. If you're not quit, get quit NOW! If you are quit, count your blessings and enjoy your freedom, your friends, and your family. You owe it to yourself and others around you.

Take care Rem, and be well.
I am very sorry to hear about your friend and the loss that you feel, Remmy. Please take solice in knowing that your support has helped prevent the folks on this site from further messing with that karma.

just to let everyone know, i am quitting red man chewing tobacco. i finished my last bag on the 9th. i am not using nicotine replacement and i haven't smoked for over 100 days. i am also posting in the alcohol room with 5 days down.
One of the wisest decisions you will ever make. Congratulations and welcome aboard the tobacco-free express........one way ticket, no refunds. I too, used to partake in the evil bag of goodies from time to time as well as being a slave to the tin, I was a slave to the pouch just the same, thinking it would get me away from the tin. Logical, right? Nope, nic is nic, and it only took 25 years of being bound to that shit for me to figure it out. I'm glad you're here, and glad to see another brother in arms against tobacoo. Stay strong and vigilant, you'll do just fine. NEVER AGAIN!

The Quit Is Good, Pass It On.

I wish I didn't.

I don't know where to post this. I don't know how many will read it or care. I guess I just need to say my piece.

My friend is dead. He died of kidney failure. It was not expected. It caught everyone unaware. As I said, he had a wife and 3 kids...3 kids....That brings tears to my eyes and chokes me up.

He didn't smoke, drink, or dip. He drank iced tea and loved his family....

We all were poisoning ourselves for years, yet here we are. Alive to read this.

We've all heard it many, many times. Life is too short.

We've been messing with karma for too long, yet still we are here and mostly fine...

Stop messing with karma. If you are reading this, you are hopefully quit. If you aren't quit - do it now.

My friends death has nothing to do with dipping, but it brings so many important things to the fore front...

Priorities...Sometimes it takes terrible things to make you see what they really are. You are the priority. Take care of yourself so your family and friends don't suffer.

I don't want to lose any more friends. So, so, many of you mean so much to me. I couldn't stand to lose you.
Sorry to hear about your friend Remmy. You and his family have my condolences.
