Here goes nothing...(New Guy)

Glad you're here moon. Great introduction. How many days have you been quit? I consider myself a bit of a young buck around here too (25), and wish I would've committed to quitting back when I was your age. Trust me -- dip hasn't made my life any better over the last 3 years. Just paranoia and shame. Consider me your ghost of christmas future.

Get over to the "quit groups" section and figure out which group you belong in. The most important thing we do here is wake up and post roll, where we make a promise every damn day not to use nicotine for that day.

Kayak fishing? A man after my own heart. What kind of yak do you have?

Welcome to the rest of your life.

You can do this.

You have definitely come to the right place. I, like you, am also one of the younger guys on this site at 22 years old and I chewed for about 5 years. I used to date this girl and we were together a few years, and she never complained about me dipping. It was nice and it kind of sucked cause I never really got that motivation to quit. Anyways one day we were talking about it and I was saying how I wanted to quit and she replied to me "you should, don't you want to be able to kiss your daughter at her wedding." I do not have any kids either, but that has really stuck with me. I ended up quitting for only about a month. Just like you seeing that father and his son though, they are eye openers and make you realize that these cans of shit we keep putting in our mouth are just not worth missing out on the special moments in life. I quit with you today. Feel free to PM me anytime.

Hey guys,
I might be a young soul on this site at 21 years old but i have decided its time to kill the can. Ive been dipping for about 3 years now during college (nothing compared to some of you guys) and really ramped up this past summer when i roughnecked offshore (1-2 cans of cope wintergreen) where you had to dip to be one of the guys. Being a 20 year old college kid, working on an offshore drilling rig, while making oil field cash made my head get pretty big. I thought I was "a badass", "cool", "a real man" etc but recently im thinking the exact opposite after one day fishing on the river. (Side note: I love fishing and do kayak bass tourneys) It all happened when i was paddling down the river after catching a 4-5 lb bass with a big dip in, i thought I was the man until i looked on the bank to see a father and son fishing having a great time. I dont know what happened but my future flashed infront of my eyes, begging the question "is dip really worth losing days from my life that could be spent with my kids?" (Ps: i dont have kids yet). My answer to my self was "fuck no", and i chunked that dip as far as I could and dumped my can. This journey wont be fun but theres not really a choice here. I started using that smokey mountain snuff to start tricking my mind I had some cope in, this past weekend I was in the library studying and left the can on the table. A guy sat across from me and said "Why are you using fake dip, are you a poser or something? That stuff is for pussy's" he then proceded to pull out skoal pouches..... We all know who the real pussy is.

None the less I'm here to quit, find guys that have quit that can scare me shittless

I posted this in the 2015 general discussion but I then realized this is the right section to post in.

We can do this together
