Hey Y'all, I will try to keep this brief.
45 years old started chewing (yup football practice) at 12, which led to smoking and dipping. Yes, even at the same time on occasion, I am a special kind of dumbass! after about 15 years of that I figured I should probably drop one of them so I let go of the 2 pack a day Marlboro red habit. But it was all good I still had my trusty Cope. For about the last 15 years I have tried to "quit" and even made it past the 3 month mark on a couple of occasions only to have some insignificant event push me to buy a can. In the interest of full disclosure on some of the previous attempts I did use cigarettes as a crutch, one or two a day so not a real quit anyway. I actually stopped dipping late last week but am counting today as day one since I was smoking one or two cigarrettes a day until today.
I finally recognize that I cannot quit without help/being held accountable. I always thought i could do it on my own if I really wanted to, I know now that I was wrong. I have been looking at this site off and on for over a year now but never had the courage to sign up and just quit. Well I do now and I will be quit for good one way or another.
I am an addict and will always be an addict but I will beat this shit. I just hope that it is not too late, God knows what I have done to my mouth, lungs and throat over the last 32 years.
To all of you younger guys/gals out there trolling this site and thinking about quitting, just do it now. Don't be a dumbass like me, the older you get the more you realize just what you will miss out on and what kind of pain you will put those who love you through.
I fully accept my responsibility in this situation but I have to say, HEY NICOTINE 'Finger' 'Finger' 'Finger' 'Finger' 'Finger' 'Finger' 'Finger'
