And just like that here comes 600.... damn proud of you Travis, thanks for showing us the way!!!!
reverent excrement! 600 days with nary a comment along the way - this simply will not do.
Going to have to start log jamming your intro my brother! If April '18 had a battle flag you would no doubt be bearing the colors.
Well done Sir, well done!

Be humble... grow everyday.

I fear I will always be chasing the vortex like a drug. None will be as special as my first hit.

Saw your text and call yesterday. Sorry I missed you, the darn phone was still on silent from church. Really great to have a dedicated quitter like you in the group.
Looks like each month has some folks that are the mortar for the bricks in our wall of quit. You are certainly in that group. Sure am glad we're in the same group.
see you in the hall

You have made a wise choice joining up and quitting. I recommend reading up all over the site as much as you can, that was a great help in getting me through the very early days. There is a wealth of quit knowledge, relatable problems and solutions, and inspiring stories in these pages.

Ready to be done
« on: December 28, 2017, 02:11:00 PM »
I've been chewing Copenhagen for almost 20 years now and I'm ready to be done. I'm tired of being scared every time I feel a little sore in my mouth. I'm tried of arguing with myself about when/if I'll get cancer (a nicotine addled brain can sure come up with some fuzzy logic). I'm tried of chew dictating a large portion of my lifestyle. I'm ready to quit.

This isn't the first time I've felt this way. I've had a lot of practice "quitting", but this is the first time I've reached out for support. The outreach here is nice and I feel like it's going to make the difference this time.

I quit Christmas day at 8:00 AM and have physically been in the shit since (today is better). Mentally, my state of mind has been great. I have confidence that this is the solution for me and I've started getting excited about what it means to live a chew-free life.

However, I know it's not going to be easy (The first week of stopping has always been easier than the second for me). I haven't made it much further than a few weeks in the past. I'm sure I'll be leaning on the community more and more as I get in to uncharted territory, but for now, this feels awesome!
