I've chewed Copenhagen snuff for 20+ years since I hit the age of 13. And yesterday, I threw it all away. I've wanted to quit for a long time, but it had a grip on me. I always had to have a chew, always! I was a ninja dipper :ph43r: I always needed a chew, I hid a can anywhere you could think of. My wife knew, but she didn't.
I can get through this, I've been through worse. I spent 3 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, what's throwing away dip got on that? I'm not much of a speaker type, so I'll keep this short and sweet. I will post on here everyday.
I could type a book right now, but I will wait. This site is awesome!! Tons of support, references, what to expect, man...awesome job fellas.
I used to enjoy a good chew, after all; that's what we "men" did, right? We might not have been the best on the field, but we were the toughest. Fishin? Gotta get a chew. Huntin? Gotta get a chew. Anything and everything...gotta get a chew! Well, not this ole Country hillbilly from West Virginia. This garbage has taken enough away from me, and from this point forward I make a stand! NO MORE SNUFF, NO MORE CHEW, ONLY FREEDOM!!
I have a lot of things to share, but let me get past day 3 before I open up a bit. I'm thankful for your website, I'm thankful to be surrounded by other great men of character, I'm thankful for everything God has given me in my life, and with all things I put everything into Jesus Christs hands.
For those who are thinking about quitting and haven't yet, don't wait around or try to "wean" yourself off of it. Just do it! Make a stand, throw all of your stuff in the trash, down a toilet, whatever and handle your bidness. Time to MAN UP...LETS DO THIS...TOGETHER.
