Title: Hello
Post by: Poohmanchu on February 26, 2021, 12:41:12 PM
Hello everyone! I wish I would have thought to search out a group like this when I started quitting. As of the 19th of February I am 6 months Skoal Straight free. I dipped on and off for 24 years, mostly on. I started to quit as a personal challenge to myself to see if I could go a month without before my 39th birthday. Bags and bags and bags of sunflower seeds later I’ve changed my entire mindset and get furious at the thought of getting a dip. I wish I could give a medal to my wife because she took the brunt of my mood swings like a champ.

Welcome @Poohmanchu (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=19480)

What you have done for 6 months on your own takes some serious steelys...like clanking iron nuts.

Well done, well done.   'Bow'

Welcome, @Poohmanchu (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=19480)! If my math skills are right (and they are questionable at times), you'd be in the November 2020 quit group, the Knuckleheads (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=15852.0). You're in a good group with those dudes, Pooh (if that is, indeed, where you land). Regardless of which quit group you're in, you're gonna be with good people who will hold you accountable and help you stay focused on your quit.

Brotherhood + Accountability = Success. Believe it.

I'm at 186 days, and I'm in December....So I *think* @nick-Otine Free (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=19005) has it right.

That said, I'm old, and sometimes mess it up.  I'm also RIGHT at the beginning of December.  Is you quit date between 8/24/2020 and 9/23/2020?   If so, you can help the 'Hateful 8' get closer to 8 again!
