Hello Quitters-
I have been a slave to Kodiak and Grizzly Wintergreen for the past 23 years. I am an addict.
My story starts at 16, tried dip with some buddiesÂ… I was the only one who didnÂ’t get sick. Of course, I thought I was super cool, and continued to dip off and on throughout high school. At 18, I became a full-time dipper, a can or more a day.
Hiding it from parents, family members, girlfriends, etc. became a part of my life. After a few years, I gave up trying to hide it. Basically proclaiming “This is who I am”, and packed a lip proudly without shame. I did not care about myself or my health, much less what others thought of me.
How F@#KING stupid!!
For the past month, I have finally started to get serious about quitting. I tried to do the gradual cut back. I started a calendar, trying to tell myself how much to consume and when to consume it.
You know what, that sucked, all that time and energy in trying to analyze my quit? Fuck it, why donÂ’t I just fucking do it already and be done?
As I mentioned above, for the past 23 years it has been my life. Honestly, I do not remember how it feels to be nicotine free. Who am I? How do I function? What does it take?
I am excited (but also scared) to learn/ discover the answers.
Hoping this community and all of the amazing folks here can help a brother out on this journey!!
TODAY I QUIT WITH ALL OF YOU
