Gmann, I remember you too. And I've gone back through the pages of my last history here and know how much support I got.

what happened is I lost perspective. If you go a year without dipping, all of the sudden cancer isn't so scary, consequences aren't as heavy. In fact if you get really creative you can justify that you haven't done damage in so long, you've got a little time to play with fire again.

So that's what happened. I gave myself too much credit, jumped back on the horse, promised it wouldn't be forever, and since I quit once I can surely quit again on my own now that I know the "ropes" of a quit.

I think we all know how well that turned out.

Highway, I remember you. This thread is littered with support for you. What on earth made you think you could have just one?

...trying to quit...
We don't try. I know that's probably not what you meant, but words are important. Using the right words will keep you in the proper mindset for quit.

I am quit today. No doubt about it. I ain't trying. I couldn't use today even if I wanted to because I posted roll this morning. Tomorrow will be another day I post roll and quit. I am quit.

Hey man.

I am an October 2011 alum. I didn't spend a whole lot of time in November 2011 because I was still licking my wounds from quitting. I know quite a few from your class and they are badass. I believe a few have even made Vegas trips to commemorate their quit anniversaries. This shit sucks but we take solace in each other. That's why this board is so awesome.

The difference between us is that I continued to walk the walk. Yeah. I fucked up my first time here too. But I've been here day in and day out just holding onto the inspiration that is tossed around here. Take a look through this intro. There are some serious badasses that laid some massive knowledge bombs in here. You responded by laying a giant turd.

I'm not mad. You don't have to prove shit to me. You want to be quit then be quit. Just don't waste mine or anybody else's time to just walk away. You can't prove you're back for good to everybody. You're just going to have to show up, walk with your brothers, and stay the fuck quit.

Come on man. You can do this.

Combined the two intros. You only get one, and you only get 1 name, too.

Quote from: BobcaTexan
This is my second time on the site. I quit back in 2011, made my 100 days, got the accolades, and felt really good about what I'd accomplished (before anyone makes a comment, I'm sorry for another profile--I can't remember my original username and/or the email it was attached to so I'm starting over, but I don't want to mislead anyone into thinking I'm brand new).

After I made that 100 days I fell off the site. Quit engaging, quit posting roll and I was doing really good for months,

Until Dove Season.

So armed with a sense of accomplishment and no accountability I had a dip from a buddy. Then another. That night I bought a can--
and here I am almost 3 years later.

I've been a Ninja too, dipping in bathrooms, while my wife is at work or out of town, or running errands.

It seems that my life revolves around a gold topped can, and while I can't believe it happened again, if I continue to deny it I'll find myself 3 years from now, dealing with the addiction I should have killed in 2011.

There's certainly enough reason to quit. I've been married for a little over a year now to my best friend, and in March we're expecting our first so I have plenty to look forward to in place of filling my mouth with tobacco, but a little denial and a little procrastination make for a virtual treasure trove of excuses and absolution.

Today is the day though.


Had I never left I could have gotten my comma almost a full year ago. Instead, I'm starting at Day 1 again getting ready for the 72 hour withdraw and the inevitable fog that follows.

The reason I'm quit is because I want a life without the specter of mouth/throat/lip cancer, and the reason I'm back is because this site works.

To the new guys reading this message in the throes of withdraw, it will get better. Stay with your quit group, post your name everyday, and participate in the site. It strengthens your bond to your buddies, in turn strengthening your quit.

To the old guard who've read a hundred posts just like mine, you're advice and involvement on the page is what keeps people quit (while they're here). Thanks for keeping this site alive, because prodigals like me need it.

Here's to a new quit.
Well damn highway man,
Let's get this party started. I'm sure you remember the ropes, go to your former and present quit groups answer the 3 questions, drink your kool-aid and man up. There only words and they sure bet the hell out of cancer! I quit with you today my friend!

Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

Guys

Thanks for the words and the advice.

1. My Wife knows I've been dipping for awhile. While she doesn't know the extent of dipping or how often, she isn't under the impression I quit.
2. I posted in my Original group. It's like a nostalgic kick in the face to see my name there--Thanks to King for finding what I couldn't.

Awesome job and I like the message in that post. Post in there with them everyday as well as your December 2015 group. The farther your tentacles are spread, the less likely you will be to fall away again.

You're welcome on finding the old username. It was really pretty simple, I just searched "Bobcats" in 2011. Lo and behold Highwayman1890 rooted for the TSU Bobcats as well in 2011. Like I said before, couldn't be too many of you. I wish I could say it was more impressive than that, but it wasn't.

Good work on coming clean. I have been through KTC and also failed. But I just ticked over my 1 year quit date and now looking towards tomorrow and 400.

What will you do differently this time? Sounds like you know a lot of the KTC koolaid but will you do what you preach?

Also, it is time to get this bandaid off and tell the MRS, tell her about the site and that you are an addict.

After some research it appears that your username may have been Highwayman1890. His favorite team was also the Texas State Bobcats, and let's be honest, can't be too many of them. Kidding aside, I bet your November 2011 brothers would be interested to hear from you.

I think you've figured out why you caved. You left the brotherhood and accountability behind. I think oen of the first things you need to do is find your original group and apologize to them. You let them down.

I quit with you.
