My name's Patrick and I started chewing Copenhagen Long Cut when I was 18 years old working at a golf course. About a year after, I joined the military and was forced to quit during bootcamp; however, once I arrived at my follow on training the first thing I did when I got offbase was to buy a can. This was my first "quit", a total of 3 months. Fast forward through a can-a-day habit for the next 5 or so years, and I quit again. This time was for my wife, my first mistake. I quit for 8 months or so, and let the stresses and resentment lead to buying a can before a golf tournament one day. That can led to another 2 years without even attempting to quit.
This leads us to 10/16/2016, the day I decided enough was enough. I am on day three now without nicotine, and am doing considerably well. I bought about 10 packs of different flavor gums, and any time I feel a craving I browse the site. I know I can do this, I've made it through it before. My challenge will be to never let that "just one dip" happen again.
