Tim, I'll give you the best piece of advice that I EVER received when I started my quit 397 days ago - You MUST make this quit about you. A daughter who never knew a dad that didn't dip and having a new grandson might seem like strong motivators. But if you make it about them, you are likely to fail.

I know, you're probably thinking, "Who the fuck is this guy? What the hell kinda support is this, him telling me how to quit and saying I'll fail?" I know, I thought the same things. But, you know what, all those brothers that told me to make it about me were right. But what you have to remember this might be one of the only times everyone you care about will actually benefit from you being self centered and self serving.

Keep posting roll and stay active...the more active you are on the site the more likely you are to remain successful in your quit. Get to know members on here...especially you fellow quitters in your group. Learn how to support them and to accept their help as well. Get numbers...lots of them. Don't be afraid to admit when you are having trouble or bad cravings. Ask for help when you need it. Read this site....and then read some more. Tons and tons of good solid information, knowledge and inspiration regarding quitting.

If you need a number, I'd be happy to provide you with mine. Welcome to your quit.

My name is Tim.  I'm now on day 15........chewed 28 years.  Started when I was in the Air Force.....working on the flight line.  I started posting roll a couple of days ago and one of the members told me to come here and introduce myself. 

My daughter is 26, never known a Dad that didn't chew.  I have a new grandson, I would like to do better.

I live in Bloomington IN and have for the last 7 years.

I decided to quit cold.  Nicotine is tough......I knew it would be.....it is what it is.

Very true, but there are ways to use your current motivation and make it about you.

For example...I haven't quit so that my kids will have their father around for a little while longer. I quit so that I get to see my kids go farther and do more.

I didn't quit so my wife would kiss me more often. I quit so I get to kiss my wife more often.

Its all about adjusting the mindset. The most important thing to convince yourself of is this. No matter what your motivation this is the last fucking quit ever. Because its gonna stick. Caving is never an option.

Quit Date 3-10-11 8:00 a.m.
HOF 6-17-11

If it has tits or tires you can expect its gonna give you trouble.

...so that his place is never with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

My HOF Speech....hope it helps
