Hello everybody, my name is Shaun. I started chewing when i got into A-School after Navy bootcamp. I remember my roomate was a fleet returnee and he had broken a can of cope in his picket and came in the door and said "Booter, we need to finish this can, itll go bad." All hammered hahaha . I knew it was bad, I wasn't dumb but I tried it...so i guess i was dumb hahaha. I felt like I was drunk, which was nice, cuz I couldnt drink and I loved boozin. From then on I was hooked. Kodiak Ice....then Grizzly Wintergreen, Then Cope Wintergreen...those were the big ones. I was 19 and now im 25...so 6 years..in those 6 years i probably tried 17 times to quit...longest was 30 days.
Im originially from Massachusetts but my wife and I moved to Wisconsin about 8 months ago. Tragedy struck when my best friend from the military passed away unexpectedly. He was my brother. I had always made a promise to him if anything happened i would look after his family. He was 32. Joshua Peter Probst. He left behind a wife and three beautiful children which I love to death. Before I came out here, I kind of accepted failing at quitting. Then I saw his 6 month old boy (who is now about a year and a half). He looks up to me, and he sees me all the time. i NEED to stop for those kids. I want to be a good role model. Noone can fill Joshs shoes, I can only hope to stand next to him. But enough was enough, and I am done. I am on DAY 8!!!!! and i am never going back. But i need you guys. Im so excited to be a part of this site now. I just need some guidance and instruction on how to do all this good stuff hahaha. Thank you for your time!
