Hey fellas,
I'm 25. Been using tobacco for about the last 8 years or so. Man, that's crazy. Almost a decade of my life addicted to tobacco -- Most of which i've been in a holding pattern, planning to "quit next week." Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
I have quit a few times before, but eventually, I've caved. This time I've stocked up on Smoky Mountain -- tried my first smoky mountain hours after my last grizz dip. I gotta tell ya, Smoky Mountain has been my rock these last few days.
Anyhow, I'm fucking done with this tobacco shit. I'm tired of the lies and the embarrassment of dipping. I'm tired of freaking out every time i get a sore in my mouth. I'm tired of my blood pressure being through the roof at 25. I'm tired of feeling like a chump for being addicted to something, and then being a slave to that addiction. I'm especially tired of going through this fucking shitty few days after you stop dipping. This is the last time I've ever putting myself through this shit.
I'm ashamed that I ever got started, and I'm ashamed it's taken me this long to quit. But fuck it. It's time now.
So I'm with you guys. I'm committed to this. I'm proud that I didn't dip today. I'm proud of my 89 hours. And I'm proud of the fact that I'm not gonna dip tomorrow either.
