I am 28 years old, a Minnesota boy born and raised. I have been a slave to this stupid can for 12 years and I am ready to be done.
I used to think that it was just a bad habit...I have realized that it is actually a full blown addiction that really does run my life.
It is time to MAN UP and be done with this nasty stuff once and for all.
I just dumped my last tin down the toilet and it felt good.
I will not chew today.

Welcome to the clan, my man. We like to give the tobacco companies the finger up in these parts. I also like to take it a step further and flip birds at the clerks behind the counters of those gas stations and convenience stores.
Get mad, stay angry, stay quit brother!!

Go post roll if you haven't already. Honor your word. Repeat tomorrow. You're already quit and free. Stay that way whatever you have to do and whatever it takes. PM the guys in your quit group and get numbers so that you can text or call (and so that they can do the same). You can be stronger that the nic bitch.

Welcome to the June 2012 Quitters the best group out here. The next few days are gonna be hell, just do what PMac said. Post roll, honor your word and repeat. Don't focus on tomorrow quit for today and it will make the first few days easier to handle. I am Day 8 and loving every minute of my freedom, PM if you need anything.

Jesus Christ... Grizzly25 has the hottest avatar I've ever seen... And welcome to the group, AreDoubleYou. Stay strong these first three days, they are the worst, but not unbearable. You'll be able to feel every blood vessel in your head pulsate tonight, but tomorrow night and the next will be noticeably easier. Then it's the mental game, which is why we're all here to help each other through it. I'm in a similar boat you are. Michigan man, quitting after 12 years. Glad to have you!
-
Your on the right track my friend. Many people can't part with that last can and flush it down the toilet and instead say they are done right after the can is gone. Personally, I think that being able to flush a freshly cracked can down the toilet is a sign that you are serious about the quit and with some discipline can beat the nic bitch successfully.
The most important tip I can give you is to get numbers from the guys in your quit group. A month or two down the road you may stop posting role and slowly forget the reasons why you wanted to quit. With numbers people keep you accountable and that is why KTC works.

Day number one and I am already getting pissed off at the office for no reason...well, there is definitely a reason, I was an idiot for 12 years....
Anyway, I have let some people here know that I might be an ass for a few days, but that doesn't keep me from feeling like a bit of a time bomb...any suggestions on how to deal with that?

Be an ass for a few days. Explode. Take it out on us. We get it. Do NOT take it out on anyone else. That is why we are here.
This is the last time you have to go through Nic withdrawal. Ever. Make it count. Remember every single miserable moment. Sulk in it. Breathe it. Taste it. F'ing hate it. But, never forget it. Ever.
In the future when she whispers in your ear that yall should reunite, every memory must flow back. Never forget.
This is your quit. Own it.
PS. You can count on me for help. Just PM.

Post Roll every day or communicate with someone and have them post via text, email or call
Get as many number of your group as you can and use them frequently.
Keep in touch with your quit brothers. Send them a PM, text or call every few days just to keep an open line of communication.
Give them your email address
Make it IMPOSSIBLE for you to go a day without several people contacting you all day if you don't post roll.

Thanks for the help boys, this was a pretty good first day.
I managed to drive between meetings today without a chew
I managed to be in my office doing work without a chew
I drove right on past two of my favorite gas stations without turning in for a tin.
I ate food...and didn't have to chew afterwards...
The crave is hitting me big time right now but it's all good. I will be posting roll for day 2 tomorrow morning!
(which I think I figured out how to do correctly now)
I quit chewing today...that's nuts. Glad to be quit with all you guys.

So, beginning of day 3.
These last couple days have been tough, but I have noticed that it is much easier for me to wake up in the morning right now.
I usually hate getting up and am a "snooze" monster in the morning, but between these last couple days I have been hearing the alarm and popping right out of bed.
This is a very good thing as far as I am concerned, does anyone know if that has anything to do with quitting or if it is just a coincidence?
I am looking forward to staying quit today. I am pumped that there are so many quitters in this June '12 group who are kicking ass right now!

I was the same way, I found myself goin to bed much earlier and when it was time to get up, I had I had no problem.
You're not out of the fog yet, keep strong, keep drinkin lots of water and have seeds, gum, hard candy or whatever you've been using. Reach out to other quit brothers in June and get numbers.
I quit with you today!

Not sure iff this has much to do with quiting but I have been in the similiar boat for the last 3 weeks .......
I usually really enjoy my sleep and especially on the weekends but it seems as though no matter what time I actually fall asleep I am awake at 630..... For anyone who knows me I am not a morning person at all but since I have started my quit I wake easier and I am not even an asshole in the morning. 'crackup'
Stay QUIT bro

Day 3 has been better than 1 and 2...
Quick story
I went into a gas station by my house (the one that has probably sold me more cancer in a can than anywhere) this evening on my way home from work. I ended up running into a buddy who I haven't seen for a couple years. Last time we talked, he had been quit chewing for almost 2 years. Well, tonight when we were talking I told him I was on day 3 and asked if he chewed now...I'll bet you can guess what happened...he had quit and then decided that he was good so he could have one chew while hunting...The rest is History...he has been chewing ever since.
That just confirms the fact that this is not a joke. This is an addiction. He completely agrees. I told him about KTC so hopefully he checks it out if he decides to get serious about quitting before his wedding this summer.
Oh, I almost forgot the best part. He left with a tin, I left with a coffee. I will never go through day 1, 2, and 3 again!
I am doing this for me, and I will keep my word every day when I post roll...

Yo - I don't think I replied to you, how is the quit going?
I just had to agree that Grizzly did some good work on that avatar...I suppose I need to get one just to make this quit more official than it already is...
Today is a good day to be a quitter isn't it?

Keep doing this for you! That way you have only one person to blame if you fail or decide to have a crave and give in!!!
I think your definetly on the right track and remember to keep everything in that perspective and post roll!!!!!
I will say this posting roll everyday does a few things, first off its a great reminder of what your going thru all this for, secondly its the accountabilty factor!
Stay quit bro!

RUU - you are kicking ass and starting to emerge from the suck. Do not put your little fledgling quit in such peril again. Change your routine. Do not use the same gas station where u bought your cancerleaf. If you need coffee go to 5bucks. If you need gas, pay at the pump. Do not go drinking with the old buds (who now lip again). Start a new work out routine, drive a different route to work etc......
That Bitch is always lurking. When you least expect it she will have her talons in you carrying you back to NicHell. You got lucky this time. Some of your new June buds will not be so lucky. Spread the word to them and watch your asses.

I agree, I do need to avoid even going into these places...but there is not a gas station, tobacco store, walgreens, etc within 15 miles of my house that I didn't buy chew from when I was near it...
However, I think what you say makes sense...I can switch to only using gas stations for GAS...pay at the pump always...there is nothing that I need there that I can't get somewhere else...Good lookin out bro. Thanks

Day 4. Good test for me. Went to a hockey game (Go Gophers!), had a couple beers with my burrito before the game...didn't even feel tempted. I have told my friends that I quit and they are very supportive about it, although they have no way to actually understand. The cravings were much less today than the previous 3 days so that was nice. Still just a bit foggy, but that is passing too. I did not get super pissed and irritated with anyone today so that's good.
It is freaking amazing all these things I can actually do without chewing...it turns out my car still runs and I can drive with out it...I can sit at my desk at work without it...A movie still plays when I don't have a chew...I can't wait to see if the golf course still exists without chew (I am fairly certain it will)...it's all new to me
Either way, Day 4 is winding up and I quit for another day today.
The support from my bros on KTC has made a huge difference. I am quitting for me but accountable to all of you. Thanks guys.

Has anyone noticed that an empty plastic bottle has a lot less value once you quit?
They used to be a treasure...a fresh virgin spitter...now they are just recycling...

Great stuff bro!!!
Isnt it great how everywhere you go you dont smell dip?
My vehicle have never smelled so good! lol

DAY 6
I woke up this morning feeling perfectly fine. I still feel fine, not head cold or anything...BUT...
I can't taste anything that I eat...I could taste last night, and the last 5 days, but today, nothing!
Is this normal as a side effect of quitting chewing or is this just random?
I thoroughly enjoy having taste buds and using them to taste things...BUT I WOULD RATHER BE QUIT than have functioning taste buds...anyone ever had this happen?
Slightly annoyed but still killin it on the quit,

Yep. It seems at one point, I too took pleasure in transforming that pristine bottle into a cesspool of filth, oral cancer and weakness.
Congrats. Keep on going...

Has anyone noticed that an empty plastic bottle has a lot less value once you quit?
They used to be a treasure...a fresh virgin spitter...now they are just recycling...
I quit today.
aredoubleyou -Day 5
Ha! Yes, every time I finish a water bottle that is my first thought. Fading away a little but I had to laugh when I read your post cause I have the same thoughts. Good stuff man - keep up the quit. Good having you in the group! We will do this. Quit for today!!!
Are you in Mexico replying to threads on here? That is commitment my friend, good lookin' out.
Good quitting with you today!

Well Day 9 Is almost done.
I am starting to think that I might be permanently irritable and not even know it.
I am pretty sure that for the first time in my career I had someone decide that they did not want to do business with me based on our meeting today.
Even though I was right in the situation, I went about it entirely wrong...I literally wanted to punch the dude in the face...I can't say that has ever happened to me before...EVER...
It is strange because that is not me at all. I am the most even tempered person I know...Is this what I have to look forward to or is this a temporary symptom of quitting? I am pissed at myself for letting my quit affect me like that...especially at work.
At least the first few days I knew I was in a bad mood because of it...now the bad mood is stealthy...not a fan.
Looking forward to the big 10 tomorrow morning...

Aredoubleyou,
Cut yourself some slack, bro. The point is you are quit, that is all that matters. I promise it gets better, I am at 28 days, shit at 9 days I was just like you. Just stay focused on your quit and give yourself a pat on the back 9 days is awesome. PM me if you need anything.

Thanks Brandon, I appreciate that. I need to focus on the fact that I am quit and that I am staying quit today. Congrats on 28 also, that is fantastic!
Glad to be quit with you.

I don't think permanently - but I too have the dick-head rage off and on at day 20. It was constant early 1-10 then faded away to every other day or just moments. I posted yesterday about caveing and there was a lot of anger in my post. Still not sure why but yesterday in that moment I had a good Nic Rage going. I say use it - use it to fuel your quit. Get angry at Copenhagen (or your brand) for making you this way. That is what I am trying to do - get angry at the addiction. For what it's worth. Good quitting with ya, stay strong and stay QUIT.

The first 3 days really really suck.
The first 3 weeks really suck
The first 3 months suck.
Things will steadily improve. You will be normal before you know it. Hang tough 1 day at a time.

Thanks Fellas...appreciated!
One day at a time.
Tomorrow I play my first ever nicotine free round of golf...I will have KTC pulled up on my cell phone no doubt!

Day 11 -
As I posted yesterday I played my first nicotine free round of golf in close to 12 years today...not only that, I spent a considerable amount of time in my car today too.
That is all well and good, but I need to admit on here that I was literally a couple turns away from caving. I was driving home tonight at about 11pm and the craving hit big time. all these thoughts came pouring into my head about how good a chew would be right now, how 11 days was a long time, how it would be so relaxing on a Friday night when I got home...
I was literally driving down the highway and did the only thing I could think of to do. I got on my phone, and logged on to KTC, went to the intro page and started reading (yes while driving which is equally as stupid as chewing but the roads were clear and I was a second away from taking an exit with a gas station)
I read a couple posts about new quitters, several posts about a very experienced quitter who caved, and that is all it took...I drove straight home and here I am writing about this.
As strong as the craving was tonight, the only thought that was in my mind was that there is no way I can break my word. I promised I would not chew today. I have a ton of quit brothers who have kept theirs, and there is no way I was going to let them down and let myself down.
If it werent for KTC I would have a serious fatty in my lip right now and be right back where I started 11 days ago. The good news is that I made it, and I will be able to wake up tomorrow morning and post roll on day 12.
You guys rock.
Good quittin.

Nice work brother. Way to use the tools. You need to send up a flare you do that man. You are not alone in this fight. We're all addicts. We all know exactly the struggle. Keep that in mind. You can do this and you are not alone in your fight.
-
Good stuff - Proud to be Quitting with you. Keep up the good fight and have a great weekend. Happy St. Patty's Day!!!

Had my first dip dream a two nights ago and forgot to write about it. It was pretty weird but I am sure that in one dream I put 5 or 6 chews in...
I wasn't sure that I bought into the fact that dip dreams happen but I am a believer now...that is crazy how our brains work...

No more surprises for you and great job staying true to your quit brother!

Played golf last night...probably one of my biggest triggers. I was at a golf course the first time I ever had a chew and that was where I chewed the most at first...either way, it was pretty amazing because I didn't even have a thought about a dip until hole number 7, and it was literally just a passing thought that was over in a second...it was not the mind consuming obsession and need for nicotine that it once was.
I am on day 18 and know that there are tough times ahead, but as for my quit today, things are good. I am so pumped to be quit with the platoon and everyone else on KTC. I never would have made it past day 2 without everyone here.
At least I know that I will make it through today...that is all that really matters.
Good Quittin'.

Good stuff. Big trigger and that is awesome you made it through. Keep up the great work. Proud to be quit with you today and this weekend. Stay strong - call/text if need to. Another great day to be quit and even better weekend nic free. Great job!!!

Ok, so I would like some honest thoughts on this and whether it was stupid.
I have made it to day 23 thus far without any sort of substitute...literally haven't been using seeds, gum, or anything...however, a couple nights ago I was sitting home and found my way onto the site for Jake's Mint Chew or whatever it is...I ordered a couple logs of it.
This stuff: http://www.jakesmintchew.com/?gclid=CLv ... KgodH0Z-_w (http://www.jakesmintchew.com/?gclid=CLvPrLebiq8CFUrWKgodH0Z-_w)
My question: Is it stupid to start using fake chew 23 days into the quit or should I just man up and continue on without it? Am I toeing the line with this?
I will be more than willing to throw it all away when it gets to my front door, which might be today...if the consensus is that it is a bad idea...
Anyone willing to offer an opinion will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks brothers.

I went cold Turkey with gum and seeds until my mouth couldn't handle it anymore, then went to Smokey Mountain. I think you need to do what you think is going to get you through, just make sure it doesn't turn into a trigger for you. I was really concerned about that when I got the fake stuff. Hope that helps.

I loaded up on the fake stuff. All the documentation I have read says this is the way to go. I have not read anything about the fake stuff triggering a return to actual dip. I say try anything as long as it is tobacco free.

I don't think it's stupid, whatever helps you stay Quit. My thoughts on the stuff are: I've tried it before one time when I quit and I blame it on my cave. Felt like I kept the real stuff to close to me - the habit I guess. This time around I told myself I was not only breaking the chemical addiction but I also had to break the habitual addiction. So, I am killing gum, blow pops, hard candy, seeds, jerky, beef sticks, what ever. That has really slowed down in the last 15 days or so. I just really wanted to kill the habit of putting shit between my cheek and gum. I loved dipping, loved everything about it - minus the cancer aspect - my point is, if I continued with the fake stuff in my mind I was not killing the habit and eventually would want the real stuff again.
Everyone is different and I've read on here how it has helped many quit so I say if it helps and is right for you, go for it. Sharing this with you only to keep you aware so that you don't let the fake stuff slowly bring the real stuff back into your life. For what its worth. Stay quit brother.

It seems like a lifetime ago that I was posting my intro here. March 10th, 2012 I quit chewing. I posted every day, I stuck with it and I quit for good...
Until 1,501 days later when I decided I would buy a can for old times sake on a road trip. April 18th 2016 I started chewing again...and now it's been over a year.
I went 1,501 days without a chew, and one dumb decision put me right back on the train.
Life is different now than it was in 2012. I am married, 2 young children, and a whole lot more to lose. I am sick of hiding the chew, and I want it out of my life. I need the accountability and look forward to putting this in my past once again.
Gotta remember how to post, find my group, and get this thing done.
I look forward to getting some support and getting back to my quitter ways.
Here's to Day 1.

Wow - March 6th, 2012 was Day 1...today would be 1973 for you. Instead it is Day 1.
Minnesota guy? Where?
Your June 2012 group only has one guy left in there but you better go post up in there and let him know you are back.
This place (as you know) isn't easy on the caver...still that way today. 3 questions are asked but the most important of them is "What are you going to do differently this time?" In other words, your cave on 4/18/2016 was preventable...do you want to quit for you? Do you want to stay quit for good? What are you going to do? How? Why?
You posted here until Day 233 and then stopped. You lost your guard of this place where you post up each day and then it protects your quit even that much more as a reminder that this is an addiction and it never ends. Never is cured.
Bunch of MN quitters here (myself included)...you still live here like your intro post from 2012 says?
Lots of support here. Get involved. I'll be your daily text reminder with the other 20 I text each morning.

Nice pky!
I was going to edit my original post but you got this moved already. All good...
aredoubleyou - Day 1 sucks...let me be clear on something. You caved...cavers suck. Cavers can't be trusted because they are being controlled by nicotine. You need to quit for you. You need to develop a hatred for nicotine. You need to have a plan in place for the next 4/18/2016 in the future.
What are you going to do? How? Who are you hiding chew from? Were you a ninja dipper? Are you now a ninja quitter? If so, tell everyone who you have been hiding it from that you chew. Trust me...best thing you can do for your quit. It will make you even better at quitting each day since this is a one day at a time place.
Quit for today...start again tomorrow. Get your ninja out and fight nicotine head on with others at your side.
EDIT: Also - you say above that you posted everyday yet the last post I see from you is in October 2012. Where did you post everyday?

I didn't mean I posted every day for 1500+ days. Frankly, I didn't know that I had even hit that mark because I was not posting.
What I meant was, I got through the initial hell of quitting because I was posting every day apparently for 233 days (as mentioned in an earlier post).
Then, I quit posting. I don't know why that is the case, but I would guess I believed that I had it taken care of...Obviously that is not the case.
If I had been on here for day 1500 and posting that number, there's not a chance I would have bought that tin.
All that said, there are no excuses. When I boil it down I bought that tin because I wanted to and every day for the last year, chewing has been a choice I have made.
I am responsible for it, and I am going to be responsible to make the right choice again every day.
I believe in accountability, and that's what this is.
I wish I could find all my old posts as easy as you guys do.

Life is different now than it was in 2012. I am married, 2 young children, and a whole lot more to lose. I am sick of hiding the chew, and I want it out of my life. I need the accountability and look forward to putting this in my past once again.
Gotta remember how to post, find my group, and get this thing done.
I look forward to getting some support and getting back to my quitter ways.
Here's to Day 1.
Wow - March 6th, 2012 was Day 1...today would be 1973 for you. Instead it is Day 1.
Minnesota guy? Where?
Your June 2012 group only has one guy left in there but you better go post up in there and let him know you are back.
This place (as you know) isn't easy on the caver...still that way today. 3 questions are asked but the most important of them is "What are you going to do differently this time?" In other words, your cave on 4/18/2016 was preventable...do you want to quit for you? Do you want to stay quit for good? What are you going to do? How? Why?
You posted here until Day 233 and then stopped. You lost your guard of this place where you post up each day and then it protects your quit even that much more as a reminder that this is an addiction and it never ends. Never is cured.
Bunch of MN quitters here (myself included)...you still live here like your intro post from 2012 says?
Lots of support here. Get involved. I'll be your daily text reminder with the other 20 I text each morning.
Combined with your original Intro. Only one per member.
I posted three questions to you in the November group. Please put some thought into those and try to come up with a plan for sustained success.
Nice pky!
I was going to edit my original post but you got this moved already. All good...
aredoubleyou - Day 1 sucks...let me be clear on something. You caved...cavers suck. Cavers can't be trusted because they are being controlled by nicotine. You need to quit for you. You need to develop a hatred for nicotine. You need to have a plan in place for the next 4/18/2016 in the future.
What are you going to do? How? Who are you hiding chew from? Were you a ninja dipper? Are you now a ninja quitter? If so, tell everyone who you have been hiding it from that you chew. Trust me...best thing you can do for your quit. It will make you even better at quitting each day since this is a one day at a time place.
Quit for today...start again tomorrow. Get your ninja out and fight nicotine head on with others at your side.
EDIT: Also - you say above that you posted everyday yet the last post I see from you is in October 2012. Where did you post everyday?
I didn't mean I posted every day for 1500+ days. Frankly, I didn't know that I had even hit that mark because I was not posting.
What I meant was, I got through the initial hell of quitting because I was posting every day apparently for 233 days (as mentioned in an earlier post).
Then, I quit posting. I don't know why that is the case, but I would guess I believed that I had it taken care of...Obviously that is not the case.
If I had been on here for day 1500 and posting that number, there's not a chance I would have bought that tin.
All that said, there are no excuses. When I boil it down I bought that tin because I wanted to and every day for the last year, chewing has been a choice I have made.
I am responsible for it, and I am going to be responsible to make the right choice again every day.
I believe in accountability, and that's what this is.
I wish I could find all my old posts as easy as you guys do.
Click on your name...it brings you to your own profile. Hover over 'Profile Options' and then click on 'List member's posts'. It will show the years and months...last post was October 2012. You can see the history from there quickly.
Where in MN are you? I work downtown. Some others are downtown as well. Let's get this quit going today. Start by reaching out to others (I'm happy to be support for you...quitting is hard as you know!).

It seems like a lifetime ago that I was posting my intro here. March 10th, 2012 I quit chewing. I posted every day, I stuck with it and I quit for good...

^The dark lord know what he is talking about.
I too am from the Twin Cities area. If you are serious about quitting this time, I will be happy to support you. Truly quit for yourself and learn to hate everything nicotine. Focus your energy not so much on changing the past but on charting a new path forward - a path free from the slavery of the dead, poisonous plant in a plastic can.
Glad you found your way back. Answer the three questions (if you haven't already) and start building that accountability network again.

Yes, I am still in MN.
I also work downtown and would greatly appreciate the support!
This quit is real, I am looking forward to once again being free from this garbage...and not just for a few years.

I see some of these guys kicking your butt and really can't blame them. I won't do that since I'm so new here.
Though I know where you're coming from, this is my first time here with this support system, I have stopped before many times and always when I caved the addiction was worse, I consumed more in a shorter period for less enjoyable results.
I'm only on day six so I am fully within the sucky part of it. I'm quitting though because I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of well you get the point. You did it before you can do it again. And don't ever decide you have got it licked and don't need anymore help. That's when it will come back with a vengeance.

It's nothing less than I expected when I decided to come back. But I know why I'm back here.
I got complacent, plain and simple. I had never been able to kick the habit until I joined this group, and you couldn't be more accurate. This last year has been a worse addiction with more consumption and less enjoyment. It sucks to be on day 1, but it is good to finally take the step I've known I needed for a long time.
Thanks for the message, I quit with you today.

Reading through the first few days from 5 years ago, I have to say this first few has been totally different.
The cravings aren't the intense bouts that I remember. This time it feels like a dull, drawn out craving which at any given moment is not as unpleasant, but it is equally as annoying because of the duration. Worth being free though.
I can feel the fog for sure, and I am certainly not drinking enough water.
I think the fact is that last time I had some sort of emotional attachment to chewing and the habit. I don't feel that 3 days in.
Although people here may not accept it yet, I am not going to be the guy who quit(stopped) for 4 years then caved.
I am the guy that quit day 1, day 2, and now day 3.
I think I'll stop talking about and being proud of the 1500+ days (unless it can help someone else) because that stopped mattering when I caved. All that matters is today.
Happy to be quit today.
Figured I should try to get a few thoughts here for the new journey.
-
I think the fact is that last time I had some sort of emotional attachment to chewing and the habit ADDICTION.
Make sure you burn it in your brain that this is an addiction with no cure. 100, 500, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 23,262 days will NOT cure this.

I agree with that. I was more referring to being attached to the habit of having something in my lip. I was and am addicted to nicotine, there's no doubt about that. This time I just don't feel like I'm losing a friend...more like I'm ditching a relentless enemy...

This is the last "consistent" roll post I could find. That means you went 1300 on your own? I want to say kudo's but I see the results of that. You sir are a classic case of cured. You had this licked and didn't need accountability or brotherhood.
I haven't read anything that's striking me as changed. Time will tell. I hope you step up and own this.

Well it's a good thing I'm not trying to strike you as changed. I'm not cured, I've never claimed I was. Yes apparently I went 1300 days on my own. As I mentioned, I also know that doesn't mean anything because I caved.
We've gone over the fact that I didn't post for those 1300 days. We've also gone over the fact that if I had been posting and engaged here, I'd be on day 1900somethng.
I'm back because I quit. I'm here to stay quit every day and help others do the same.
I don't need your approval or your belief in me, but I appreciate the support and being quit with you. I also appreciate you taking the time to post here, so thank you.
I'm done talking about the past unless anyone else would like to bring up the fact that I caved after 1500 days, I'm fine with the discussion. But saying it and then telling me exactly why you assume I caved without knowing anything about me? I caved because I didn't care about being quit. I was disconnected from my reasons for quitting in the first place. I forgot how hard I worked to get through my first day 1 and how proud I was to get to 100. I didn't think of it as a cave. I forgot the term "caver". I am addicted to nicotine, and that will never change. But I'm back here to kick it and quit with everyone here. Period. Day 3 is done. Looking forward to being quit with you tomorrow for my day 4.

That may have come across differently than I intended. Candoit, I truly do appreciate you taking the time to post. Might have a bit of the rage going this evening. Somehow I've been extremely patient with the kiddos and wifey...but it's always been said, if you're going to rage, come on this site to do it...

I have made it 1108 days, so far. I have done this by investment. First and foremost has to be to yourself. This is done by posting roll. Everything else is secondary. The brotherhood is due to you seeking accountability. Success is a result of this daily investment.
Get pissed and don't ever accept failure.
