What happened to the salmon there amigo? That thing was bigger than a small horse.
Going to AK next week to get hopefully bigger salmon so changed to the Jeep. Congrats on halfway to 100, at least you're making progress in ONE of your goals.

I can hardly believe that tomorrow I will be chew free for a week!   WOW!  I am a 37 year old Kodiak user that is done with that shit.  I live in Minnesota. 

I used Kodiak for damn close to twenty years.  I started while playing baseball in high school and pretty much kept it going.

I was going to quit for sure when I met the girl I was going to marry.  Well I met that girl back in 1995, didn't quit.  We married in 98,  didn't quit.  

I was going to quit when my 1st child was born; that was in 02, you guessed it didn't quit.  Our second was born in 04, still didn't quit. 

My wife is a DENTIST!  I don't know why or how she has tolerated it for this long, but she has.  I met her with a chew in my mouth!!  I somehow hid it long enough for her to deal with that flaw and marry me.  

I kept giving myself different dates and they would come and go and I wasn't stopping.  I am sick and tired of setting a bad example for my son, not to mention how my wife feels.  

  I work in television sports production doing Vikings, Wild, Gophers, Timberwovles and Twins games.   I was determined to go into this basball season chew free.  That didn't happen of course.  Usually I look ahead and think well maybe before the Vikings, Wolves or Wild start up.  That has always lead me right back to baseball season again. 

Last thursday the Twins played a day game and on the way home I stopped to grab tin.  $6.59 for that tin.  I usually buy a half a log at the reservation smoke shop and save a few dollars.  Either way that SHIT is easily going to hit 7 dollars a tin in no time.   I was using a tin a day so I was looking at spending $2500+ in a year for that.   What an investment that is.  I sat in my car absolutely disgusted with myself.   I said this WILL BE the LAST damn time I buy that shit in my life.   I put that receipt in my wallet.   FUCK YOU GUYS you got the last $6.59 your getting from me. 

I told myself that I would pay my daughter $5 for every day she was alive and I chewed.  I owe her college fund over 10 grand!!  I owe my sons college fund over 7 grand.  They WILL get that money.  

I was honestly trying to think of ONE good thing chewing has done to enhance my life.  I can't think of ONE.   How the hell can I have spent 20 years of my life, thousands and thousands of dollars on something that has not done one damn thing to improve my life??  

Maybe the "haze" that stare the quitter's in the face, is actually reality kicking us in the ass saying "what the fuck took ya so long ya dumbass"?
Damn,
I lived in that God Forsaken State for seven long years, won't even go into why you're fucked for just living there except to say your sports teams suck ass and always will. Bow to Lambeau, Baby! Good job on your quit. Don't look back. Join a group here and have your wife plant her shoe in your ass any time you feel the urge to cheat. FUCK U.S. TOBACCO! FUCK YOUR URGE TO DIP! Get yourself clean and maybe someday your Viqueens may actually not choke in the playoffs.
WHERE in my post did I say I was a fan of any Minnesota team? I was blessed to be born in IL. I am a Bears fan, Bulls fan, and by the grace of God I was saved and changed to a White Sox fan by 2nd grade. I will cheer for the Twins when the Yankees are in town but that is as far as I go.
You're my kinda guy. We won't discuss Bears - Packers issues at this time, however.

Stay Quit.

Do or Do Not, there is no try.

How many times have you tried to quit chewing? Trying doesn't work.

DO or DO NOT....it's really that simple

Congratulations on one week. I'm consistently amazed to read other guys stories on how we all justified using that shit for as long as we did. Your story mirrors mine right down to the two children. As well as how I'd quit at some momentous time in my life and that never happened. The important thing is you've chosen to quit and you've found this site. Pretty good group of guys here(for a bunch of quitters) :D Post roll daily and make that commitment to stay nic free for one more day. Today is day 40 for me, time has flown by. Life is beautiful without that crap pumpin through my veins. I'm sure you have found the same. Craves and dip dreams are still there, just less frequent and intense. You can do this, stay strong in your quit fella.
There's nothing nicotine has to offer that I need. Never has been, never will be.
