You've got some bad ass supporters dude. Best of the best. They know of what they speak.

80% will become 79. And then 78. And then 83. Then 77......

This addiction is like some whacked out roller coaster. Here's my input...I chewed for 25 years. 45 thousand dollars wasted. Didn't even get a buzz format lest 44k of it, just used that to fend off withdrawals. About 780 days ago I found this place. And I haven't missed one day of posting... And I haven't thought about nicotine (other than my hatred of it) in weeks, maybe months. T gets better day by day. You are in the right place. Make contacts. Post roll. Keep your word.

I am a 26 year old construction worker from the Pacific Northwest. I have been dipping a can a day for 10 years (started with Grizzly Wintergreen then Cope Straight then Cope Wintergreen for the past 4 or 5 years). I quit this Valentine's Day (today is day number 5 free from nicotine/tobacco). I grew up in a logging community and have worked construction since I was 12. The presence of tobacco has been in my life since I can remember. I managed to quit smoking about 3 years ago and haven't looked back since (not even when I've been drunk which is how I started in the first place).

Chewing, on the other hand, is really tough to walk away from. It's only been 5 days, but it seems like I think about it 90% of the time I'm awake. It doesn't help that I work in one of the only industries that still allows tobacco use on the job (and 70% of the guys I work with either smoke or dip). I used the tactic of telling everyone about my quit so that I have extra motivation to not give up in the fear that I get the gears from everyone (nothing worse than not keeping your word when you say you are going to do something). Not many people believe in me, but it's fine. I truly believe in myself and know that quitting can be done.

I look forward to some good dialogue with the group and good luck to everyone.

Thank you. DJC

Read the Welcome Center thread and post roll. It truly is mind over matter - if you are quit, you can be around your co-workers, simple as that, it's a mindset.

Luck is the residue of hard work...be the luckiest SOB every single day.

Good things come to those who wait because great things have already been taken by those who don't.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
