Hey everyone. iM Matt. im at Day 1. This is the last Day 1 i want to have in my journey. Ive tried to quit but always went back to the addiction thinking i was doing pretty good with a can every week. I find myself worrying about my health all the time and finally i just thought- this is bullshit. Why let a can run my life. Im 24 years old and i have a beautiful wife and 3 year old who need me. I think the last straw was my 3 year old telling my wife that i took him to the "poop" store (tobacco store). Its time for a change and im ready. thanks for any support.
hey matt...go to the welcome center link, read read read, learn how to post roll and go post day 1 in the July group. You've made a great choice to tackle this shit today. And keep that word in mind...TODAY....today you quit...worry about tomorrow morning when it comes. Go to the introduction page and introduce yourself to the gang and jump in head first....pm if you need anything
Welcome friend. Quit for you. Not your wife. Not the kid. Only for you.

You can do this. You MUST do this. You have no choice.

Roll Call....Every damned day.

Shout if you need anything.

I second that. One day. I kept wondering how can I got the rest of my life fighting off the craves, and replacing that with something, anything, to get rid of it and take my mind off of it. Then I just stood there for a minute thinking of ALL the things I could appreciate, could do, could laugh at, actually use my brain to think about, etc. And in that time, I brewed up a man-size resistance to that particular crave and the Nic Bitch was down. And I was enjoying some music playing a game on my phone and enjoying my gum. QLF
I just found this forum and its seems to be a good support group, which is what I need. I've been trying to quit for a while now. I will go weeks without any chew  then one day I say to myself "I'm just going to have one". After that I'm back at it. I'm 22, I started dipping about 3-4 years ago (wish I never would have started). I've decided I'm done. I'm sick of worrying about cancer and always being disappointed in myself every time I start back up. I have a bump on the inside of my gums that hurts a little  it scares the shit out me. I haven't chewed today and don't plan to anymore. If you have any good advice for me, I'm open ears
Dberg, I am 40 and wish I had quit that young. Post roll call in Prehof July. Get involved here to keep your quit going past those humps. Its a matter of determination on daily basis. Every day we post roll and honor that word to those who hold us accountable. There are no excuses. You can never have just one. It doesnt work.

Well I'm on day 2 and I got to admit... It's hard as hell when you go to hang out with all your friends and they all have big ol chaws in and the smell of griz green is almost over powering. I almost broke but I stayed strong and didn't give into the temptation. Not even when they tried to force it in my lip
So you are kicking that 10 can a day habit, huh? Your girlfriend quitting with you? Or is she still a 3 can a day girl?
They tried to force a dip on you? Wow, you are painting one hell of a story.
I think Wampus must not be old enough to join the forum, your required to be 18. That sounds like some jr. High behavior. Those aren't friends!
