Title: Chad's Intro
Chad - June 5, 2009 04:02 PM (GMT)
I am 31 years old, and have the first kid on the way in October.
I've tried to quit before at least 100 times and never been able to do it. I'm tired of it, tired of having to have it, tired of the nastiness that it is, and tired of knowing what it could do to me.
My moment of clarity came upon finding a spot on my tongue. We've all found them right? This one was different, scared the crap out of me. And I thought, "Why am I doing this to myself?". And that was it. I want to have a complete tongue, mouth, jaw to tell my wife and new child how much I love them.
I'm done, just like that, no more.

Wasn't much of an intro.
Let me fill in the rest...
I started dipping Kodiak in Jr. High and it was a habit by the time I was a freshman in highschool (15, 16 ish). By the time I was a sophomore, I'm dipping a can of Skoal Fine Cut a day until about 2 years ago. What happened 2 years ago? I tried to quit, couldn't make it and thought I'll get a different flavor I won't like. So for the past two years I was dipping Grizzly Red because that's what I picked up that one day and never put down.
So roughly a 15 year habit coming to an end.

YOU CAN DO IT BROTHER!!!. You're stronger than it. You will feel like a million bucks with each day you don't do it. It's not worth dying young or being scarred for life. Post everyday in your quit group, post roll call. If you ever need help let me know. Message me. Good luck. You're in my prayers.

Chad,
Welcome to the quit! I admire you guys who are quitting and have young kids or those on the way. I tried several times when my children were small...but lacked the fortitude (What a Puss) If you post every day and get involved in the site...you WILL be successful. That sounds like a bold statement...but there are hundreds of guys here who can attest to this. Stay connected, get some numbers, get involved and start living your dip free life. It can be a reality! Welcome brother
