From the looks of most of the stories on here most of you have been burdened with this addiction longer than I have. Being 22 years old and in my first year of graduate school I know I want to stop this habbit before I lose complete control of it. It has slowly been getting out of control as I played baseball in college over the past four years and now that it is over I have no "excuse" to keep doing it. I lost my older brother to childrens cancer when I was 15 and I never want to put myself through what he had to endure, and I damn sure dont want to put my family through anymore stress with that word than they have already had to experience. I know it is going to be a long road, but I like that fact that I have to hold myself accountable on here and commit to a promise.

Glad you're here man. You are young, but don't let that fool you into thinking that you can just keep chewing until you get older without consequence. You are making a wise decision. You nailed it when you said "excuse" because your addicted brain will come up with all kinds of excuses and ways out of this over the next few days and beyond. Buckle up and get ready for the ride and embrace the pain. It sucks but what comes out in the end is something solid. It does not mean that you will never get sick or that bad shit won't happen to you. This does mean that you are taking you're life back from something that has nothing bad bad to give. It tricked all of us into thinking that we needed it. You don't need it and it sounds like you don't want it. Remember this pain and remember why you are doing this. It'll get hard before it gets easier, but it will get easier. I am jmiah and I am on day 66. You'll get there and beyond as well if you allow yourself the chance. Glad to be quit with someone who wants to save their young life.

Glad you decided to admit the addiction early. Pesonally I used tobacco for 2 years before deciding to quit. Not long compared to most guys on here but sure does not take long to get hooked! I started on a deployment in 09 - 10 and swore I would stop when I got home........a year after redeployment I was ninja dipping......had enough of hiding it from my wife......38 days ago I quit! THis site will save your life!

An addict is an addict, even if I chewed for 3 years longer than you have lived it doesn't change the fact that we both suffer from the same thing - an addiction to nicotine. If I can help in anyway please ask. Hell, ask anyone on this site and they will help. Welcome.

REZ,

You are an addict. Please get straight on this. Nicotine is the most addictive substance in the world. It does not take long to hook you. Now, what we do here is quit. Get in the December group and post roll and get invovled.

Addicts need support---we are here for you.

I lost my older brother to childrens cancer when I was 15 and I never want to put myself through what he had to endure, and I damn sure dont want to put my family through anymore stress with that word than they have already had to experience.  I know it is going to be a long road, but I like that fact that I have to hold myself accountable on here and commit to a promise.

I dipped through college as well (I wrestled) and then had a temporary stoppage that I called a "quit" before I went to graduate school. Like you, I wanted to quit before it got out of control.

However the nic bitch lied to me by telling me I couldn't write papers without her loving support. So I started back up when I went to graduate school. Four years later, I was still finger banging the can and shoveling tobacco into my mouth at a rate that would've scared me shitless only a few years before.

But 117 days ago I quit for good. And the nic bitch lied. You can do serious academic work without her. I'm proving it by writing a paper right now (well, not RIGHT now, before and after i'm done typing here).

Anyway, don't lose years of your life to this fucking addiction. Post roll, keep your promise, repeat. It works.
