Semper Fi Marine. Fellow veteran here on day 22 of my quit. If you make your commitment every day, you will beat this thing. Turns out those core values of honor, courage, commitment stick with you. You'll feel the draw of another dip, but if you've made your promise than your integrity will keep you flying straight and the poison out of your mouth.

Welcome, Matt, and thanks for your service!

My only counsel to you right now is: do this for you and you only. Nothing against your mom, but this has to be a selfish thing for you to ensure your success. Those around you will benefit no doubt, but at the end of the day, you have the most to gain or lose.

You got this, bud.

Welcome Matt!

You will need that chip on your shoulder to get through the next few weeks and months. One thing we always tell people is to get angry and learn to hate nicotine - sounds like you have that mentality, and it will help carry you through.

You need to keep that momentum and get involved with the December group. Post your promise there every morning and then keep your word. Sometimes young guys can struggle with this after the initial adrenaline of quitting wears off. It's important man, you have to stay focused and that group will keep you on track.

There are guys here who use for twice as long as you have been alive - you're not too far gone, you can beat this, but follow the path that's laid out for you.

Hello, my names Matt and I am only 22 years old and a veteran of the marine corps. At age 14 I started dipping because I wanted to be cool like my brother, little did i know what a decision at age 14 would lead me to. now at age 22 my gums are so recited I brush the roots of my teeth on the bottom and it can be pretty painful. I can feel the weak hold my gums have on my lower teeth, im shocked that a can a day of something that was my best friend and made me feel good, actually all along was dragging me down. Today august 31st, 2016 I vow to beat this addition, I promise to give this my absolute all 8 years is long enough. For the first time my mother cried to me, begging me to quit, and no one makes my mother cry. This is for me, but its bigger than me this is for everyone around me.
Welcome Marine! As it was said head over to the December group an join us in supporting each other quit. This place is like a whole group of battles and we have your six!

QLF ODAAT..

When you stop quitting hard, you forget how hard it was.

"When will you put the arrogance and ignorance aside and choose to live and to live with honor and integrity. It's the best fucking feeling in the world. It beats the shit out of feeling like a loser caver. It beats the shit out of knowing that you are nic's bitch. It beats the shit out of getting cancer and dying. This is really hard shit and you have to attack it with a vengeance. Get after it January. Quit like fuck" ~ Bronc
