I'm 38 years old and been dipping since I was 18. I've never really given quitting a serious try until now. I am married with a 2 year old son and another son due in September and I want to be there for them. I don't want to get cancer and die in 5 years and miss their whole lives and leave them in a world of hurt without a Father and my wife having to raise the family on her own. I do this for them and I do this for me. I am choosing life over chew.
I have been preparing for this quit for the past 2 weeks. Making lists of reasons to quit and triggers and relapse prevention plans and craving logs, making schedules, purchasing snacks and candy and wall calendars and stickers and bracelets. I feel ready for this challenge. I embrace it.
Kill the Can is going to be an instrumental part of my Quit Plan. How do I find my Quit Group? Any other suggestions? Looking forward to starting my quit and getting to know you guys.

You don't get a quit group until you quit. I can't tell you what quit group you're in because you still have that shit in your face. Spit that shit out and dump the can - don't throw the can out - you need to open it, dump it out, then take a giant loose shit on top of it so you won't be tempted to dig it out of the trash.
How many times in your 18 years of dipping have you decided to "quit tomorrow?" Tomorrow never comes. You know that. We know that. What's going to happen tomorrow morning when you wake up and there's about a pinch-and-a-half left in that tin? You're going to take a dip because you "need to finish the can." Then you won't quit tomorrow because you already dipped... you'll quit the next day. But again, tomorrow never comes.
You want your quit group? Try the September 2019 quit group, because that's about as fucking close as I guess to when you might actually quit. Dump that shit right now. Reclaim your life right now. Be proud to kiss your wife and child right now without the smell of nicotine on your breath.
If you want to quit then do it. Now. There's absolutely NO REASON for you to keep jamming that shit in your face for another 12 hours.
