My background:
I am 27 and was a dipper for many years. I started just around my 19th birthday and quit last week. I had a canker sore on the bottom of my gums from my retainer (or so I hope) and it scared the crap out of me. I am glad I could find a place like this as I don't normally need a lot of support.
My problem is I do not miss the chewing tobacco, I miss the 8 years of my life that I wasted using tobacco. I look back and think how stupid I was to have ever used it. Does anyone else feel the same way? I am glad I gave it up and will use you all for support. My quit date was 3/14/14.
I look forward to learning from everyone.
Don't spend too much time dwelling in the past. Not shit you can do about it, so don't waste your energy.
Worry about tomorrow when it gets here.
TODAY is where your head needs to be at.
Like the white bearded scribe, WT57 once said...drive your journey looking out the windshield, not constantly looking in the rear view mirror, or looking too far ahead. Focus on the now.
Or some shit like that...
