I’ve been reflecting about what I could share that’s unique from all the other Hall of Fame quitters, but I’m afraid I’ve got nothing. Well, maybe… but we’ll get to that in a bit. After reading many bios on here, I’ve surmised that I started late in my ill advised … Continue reading
On June 27, 2017, I decided to quit chewing, again. I, like many others on this site have “stopped” tobacco, but never quit. I gave my last can of Grizzly to a buddy and here I am. Not really that simple! I was fighting hard this first few weeks. I … Continue reading
Dear Grizzly Straight, It’s been a while. I bet you wonder where I’ve been? I’ve had a hell of a time getting along without you. So where have I been? I decided to join this website. I just joined, didn’t read much, just signed up, sounded like a place I … Continue reading

Well, never thought I’d see it…100+ days of quit and I am at a loss of words. I started dipping off of a “here man, try this” at Camp Geiger/Camp Lejeune NC as a young Marine fresh out of boot camp. I got high, loved the way it felt, and … Continue reading
