hi, I'm uofary80 (u of a ry 80). No, I am not calling you a fary, but it's kind of funny that's the first thing people see. The "a" stands for Arizona BTW.
About me: long walks on the beach....oh whoops....15-year tobacco user, grandpa smokes, dad smokes, uncles chew, aunts smoke; super addictive personality issues in the family. For the last 3-5 years gone through 5-6 cans a week, switching to pouches full-time about 3 years ago. you know, because it's better for ya.... 'Crazy'
Got really bad, you know the symptoms: chewing even while sick, chew first thing morning, falling asleep with chew in mouth, needing chew to "sleep", gutting it all the time to hide it, etc.
Started losing some of my gums last 1-2 years.
Tried to quit in 09' or so. Made it 6 months, played hockey one night with a fellow nic-head, caved, and went back on the nic-train.
This time it's for real. Made the decision to quit for me and to live a healthier lifestyle and not die of gum disease or worse. Also helps I have 1 year old daughter and 3 year old son: gotta be around for them if you know what I mean.
Switched to nic-gum about 6/5/2015. Got rid of that shit on July 17th, 2015 with the insistence of some of the jabroni's in the chat room. Props to chewie, nolaq, and Joliver and others for convincing me to cut the cord now and just go for it.
Day 5 and still truckin...great forum, need it during the workday lately to just read some stories, HOF speeches, or jump in the chat room to talk it over with people.
Let's get it done October 2015 FUN BAGS
