Bud use this intro thread to vent and to document your quit. It will help you remember what it was like.

I'm Bud. I've been on nicotine for 18 years now. I'm ready to be done. Thought about quitting many times. Been looking at this sight for over a year now. Last night I poured my snuff down the toilet. Today is the day I start my quit.

Married, we have a one year old son.

I've dipped Copenhagen wintergreen for past 3 months. Before that it was longhorn wintergreen.
Welcome Bud all the best as you start down the road. You'll find awesome support from so many guys here willing to give you their best!

Welcome aboard Bud. This is a rough ride but there are a bunch of backseat drivers that know the road all too well, listen to them!
Welcome to KTC Bud. Plenty of support here, congratulations on making the right decision!

Welcome to the Quit Bud!

After lurking for a year, I hope that you maintain your Quit and post roll every damn day. If you need to reach out to someone for support with your Quit, PM me to get my number. Make sure to get numbers from other members too, you can never have enough!

About f'in' time bro! You should be well educated about how things work here for sure, but in case you haven't already: read everything on KTC! The knowledge is here. Also congratulations on your decision to finally quit. Fight like Hell hour by hour, minute by minute, or second by second if you have to. It is so worth it, and it will get easier.

Welcome. Joined in January of 2012..... wow, you've been lurking quite a while. If you've been visiting the site, you probalby already know the drill. You're gonna catch some flack for waiting so long, etc..., etc...

Sounds like yesterday (last night) was actually the day you quit. If that is the case, then you should go post a "Day 2" today.

I dipped and chewed for about 20 years. I am quit now for good. NAFAR

You son deserves to have a healthy father who sets a good example.

SHout out if you need anything.

If you read through the other intro's you may see some of my same words on them but they always hold true so I will just repeat them...

You are in for one nasty fight but you have the tools here to make it.

Read everything on here, post roll call each morning and don't dip. Wow....that sounds so easy, doesn't it?

Go load yourself up with gum, mints, fake chew, seeds and beef jerky. Also get some member phone numbers right now, they will help you through the rough parts.

Next, exercise to exhaustion every single day and drink so much water that you feel like you may bust. Both of these will help.

Make sure your wife reads about what you are going through. 99% chance that you are going to be a short fussed dick for the next 3-4 weeks. Try not to take it out on her and the kids. Get on here and take it out on us, we will be fine.

I quit with you.
Oh little worm-dirt...you are so scary...F' OFF...!!!

Awesome Bud and welcome!

You CAN do this but you have to want it.

You have to be selfish and quit for YOU because YOU want to.

I stopped a couple of times but ultimately it took me realizing that I had want to quit for ME.

Bravo sir and welcome.
I quit with with you all!
