Title: General Discussion 2022
Post by: chewie on January 01, 2022, 09:09:43 AM
Welcome to 2022 quitters! Here's to a SMOOTHER year then the last.

So... who quit dipping on New Year's Eve? I know you're not alone...

You CAN do this. It won't be easy but it's TOTALLY worth it. Keep fighting!

Happy New Year!

Congratulations brother - you're well on your way!

I'd urge you to NOT put 100% of your eggs into the 100 day basket... it's a TREMENDOUS milestone, one to be celebrated but it's NOT the end all be all of quitting. YOU WILL get there... and then we get to set another milestone.

One day at a time. Proud to be quit with you today.

Yes, You are 100% right chewie. On the back of my mind , there is a slight deviation foresee once 100 days over. I realised now. Will keep mile stone for 100 days. And again will keep another 100 days. But chewie, I beleive once you cross 100 days you may forget this shit, dont you. You are a master quitter. How do you feel after 3-4 months gap?

Two things...

1) There should be NO deviation post 100 days. This is a 'for life' game played 'one day at at time'. The COMMITMENT should be daily... the only difference between that commitment should be the numbers of days.

2) There's nothing 'master' about my quit. I'm no different than anyone else here... I quit one day at a time. I struggle(d). I post my promise. I'm no different than YOU as a quitter either... I just made my decision to quit years before you did.

As for your specific question... you'll feel hella better 3-4 months from now than you do on day 1 or day 3, but I'd be lying to you if I said you'd feel 'all better' or 'cured'.

Relapse dreams are normal part of healing. There are similarities in the dreams of recovering addicts of all kinds including tobacco addicts.

This seems like sort of a big deal... I'm no fan of government overreach which this clearly is, but also, fuck Big Tobacco.

======= PSA Cross Posted on Discord as Well ========


Word to the wise for all admin. PLEASE be very careful trying to get everyone to convert to all Discord only and forgetting about the website. My Discord account got banned last week for spamming and suspicious activity (not sure how or why, all I was doing was working on my very own photography related server) and I have had it since like 2 or 3 weeks after Discord became available to the public. If the website was gone I would have nowhere to go to post roll at and that would really suck!

I have never caused any issues to anyone or any server nor have I ever even been kicked from a server I have joined or been invited to. Rarely does one ever get a Discord account back. I pled (? correct word or spelling) my case to Discord and was shocked that I got my account back that next morning before I woke up.

Just a quick PSA Please keep the website alive and well and in good condition. Discord can be gone at the drop of a hat at any given second for anyone for any reason as I shockingly found out.

Take care all and have a wonderful day.

Has been years since I logged on but today marks 10 years of being dip/tobacco free.  I’d be lying if I didn’t say I don’t still crave a dip every now and then or look at those cans behind the counter on occasion.  I still have dreams of dipping every so often and I wake up feeling so guilty.  I just want to thank this site for helping me in the beginning and giving me courage to quit.

Congrats on a DECADE of quit!!! Our quits can never be put on cruise control; complacency is the primary killer of quits especially for those of us thousands of days under our belt. I'd encourage you to join KTC on Discord and start posting every day again. It takes less than 30 seconds and would be a great way to further invest in your quit now 10 years later.
