Long time stalker, first time poster

[ChickDip]

IÂ’m at day 77! While I try to be proud of the count, IÂ’m reminded of why my number is only 77. About 10 years ago I was roughly at the 6 year mark, nicotine free. Yes, 6 fÂ’n years without failing! I started bumming a dip from friends while golfing and chewing on a cigar at parties. I let my guard down and my addiction started working on my behaviors.

I convinced myself that I could buy a tin and leave it around, just take a dip once-in-awhile when the feeling struck. Then instead of having a new tin once a month it grew into a tin-a-day addiction. I was horribly embarrassed that I caved. My wife was pissed and I let myself down.

As most of you have posted, IÂ’ve tried quitting many times. I would make it through the suck and speed on down the road only to stop at the gas station to start the cycle again.

But this time it is different. Why? IÂ’ve got this site and bunch of people that will assist me in keeping my daily promise. I now have a group that will keep bringing the addiction mind games to the forefront for me to see. For that I am thankful and proud.

So, will I make it past the 6 year mark again? I donÂ’t know. All I can promise is that today I will not cave.

The answer is yes.  6 years!

Congrats brother. Great work. Appreciate you showing us the way.

Congratulations brother, keep forging ahead and leading the way

Congrats on 6 years of freedom KZ!  Thank you for posting roll with us in December 15!   

I don't think I ever "roughly" quit for any period of time.  All of my "quits" before this one allowed for cigars, bummed dips or cigarettes because, well, something happened.   

I'm proud to quit with you every day brother!

6 years a constant. Thank you Kenny and congratulations!

Golly G KZ, thanks for sticking around and rolling sober with me!
Life just keeps getting better when you face it friends and without luggage.

Day 1,921:

It’s been a long time since I visited my intro.  I’m so proud of how far I’ve come and the crew that supports me.  I’m at a point in my quit where I don’t think about dip unless I’m in here.  And I’m thankful for that.  Posting roll daily is the only time I’m allowed to think about it.  It is off the table for the rest of the day once I’ve made my promise. 

To the newer quitters, please reach out and make connections.  Quitting is a hard thing to do and there aren’t any medals for doing it the hardest way.  Lean on people when you need it and provide support when they need it.  It’s a simple concept.

@KennyZ 1921 is BADASS!!  Keep dropping your knowledge in here brother. You have a ton of knowledge others can benefit from. Thanks for sharing.
