406 days, 58 weeks

Spent the weekend with the family, doing family things. Took the boy for a college visit to the University of Northwestern Ohio. The racers as they like to be called. Very interesting school. He is interested in automotive technology, would like to own his own speed shop someday, building and maintaining high performance engines. 5 hours on the road, no chew, no urge. Sunday was grocery and kind of football day. THE BROWNS DID NOT LOSE! HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT squealers fans? Man the defense seems very strong, Tyrod Taylor showed that he would like to sit the bench and let Baker have the team. Other than that, another quiet week of quit. Thank you for all your support.

Ok, so this dumbass used fake for weeks 2-55. No subs week one, then a lot of Jake's Mint chews over the next year. All the while reading about people loving these Tea Tree cinnamon toothpicks. Ran out of Jake's last week and did not want to buy more, but wanted something on hand. You know, just in case. I was already ordering some stuff from ammazoon so I decided to add these to the list. They came in yesterday and put one in when I got home from work. I have had one in my mouth almost since then except for sleeping last night and eating. Such a great fidget spinner of a nic fighter. And to top it all off, a helluva lot cheaper than Jake's. I got 600 picks for like $11. I don't know if that's a good price for toothpicks or not, but it beats the fake chew price wise. I may never go a day without one of these again.
That is all for day 394, QFYQWYBQBIM! (thanx Candoit)

Toothpicks are definitely the way to go. Wife's been making mine with cinnamon oil and olive oil, letting them soak for a day or two and boom, ready to go. Cheap as hell to make.

day 390, sitting around the house on a Saturday while the wife is out and about. Not a single chew today (or the last 389) but this is the type of day I would have gone through almost a can of grizzly in the past. What a difference a year and then some makes. It sucked until it didnt. It was hard until it wasnt. I'm not cured, but KTC has helped me to stay free of nic for almost 400 days now. Its in my signature line from Zeno, thanx Eric : "this seems to be working, why change anything?" So I posted my promise again today and have every intention of doing so again tomorrow. come quit with me

378, 54 weeks. Feeling very good about my quit. Wish I was sleeping better, but sleep has always been a problem for me, using or not. Really nothing special to add, just checking in .

Just a piece of a discussion I wanted to hold onto and be more easily able to find:

bradon, jump in. What's on your mind? How's your quit? How was today?

Chewing the hell out of my gum...I am still in the trenches. Honestly, I see a lot of bitching on the site but I am not sure what about. I believe in a explicit call to action. What is the call to action? I do notice that we have very few new members over the last week and I am not sure what that is about.

We are trying to explain some habits that will make quitting easier
Wake up piss post(WUPP) make that promise early in your day
Keep that promise
That's all it takes, it is hard and it is that simple.
The 16 of you are all at the earliest stages of your quits. You are going through very similar thoughts, cravings, triggers, etc. Talk them out. Share your small(but really no. Victory is small in this battle) victories.

I agree with frank here.

Someone needs to step up tho. Period. Own your quit. Help the group.

Is it you?

I want to say it is simple but simple tends to be too many slogans. That said, I 100% agree with WUPPP and ODAAT....Every morning I embrace this quit and own it. But we can throw acronyms around all day, but folks have to own it. This brotherhood is strong but without my own will-power it is nothing. OWN this Fing shit

Are you the one to make everyone accountable... Including yourself?

Man - I spent 400 days on this site 3 years ago. I was accountable for myself but held no one else accountable. I cherished the accountability but did not counter the action to my brothers. If in my q2.0, I can help hold brothers accountable and at the same time make my quit stronger I want to do that so Fing bad. That said, I go back to my original post earlier this eve. Are we not seeing new sign ups? It seems like we are in a drought the last week.

It does seem to have stopped. It more will come. There are still 17 days left In this month. We/you are building it everydayeveryday and they will come.
A d i can tell you bradon, working hard to hold others accountable has helped me stay quit no doubt. I make my promise to too many people on a daily basis to just give up. Us have over 100 people mother fucking me on my phone. I don't want that and i want to stay quit. Being involved makes it all work. I texted a ton of people today. I posted support in o e 60 groups (not a typical day granted) and have spent hours in here talking, preaching, filling out the SSOA. You know what I didn't do today? I didn't cave, I didn't really crave. And it feels awesome. I'm out to for the night. Stay awesome and stay quit brothers!

Franx - best post of the day! ABQ brother
