Well everyone has a story and here's mine.
This is hopefully my third and final time quitting. I started dipping in college probably around 1999. The first time I quit was around 2005 or 2006 and that lasted for 2 years. Then I started back up again and dipped for another couple of years, then I quit again for about 8-10 months and then started again about 10 months ago.
What a roller coaster.
I haven't had a dip for a little over 24 hours, but I know every day is a little tougher than the last for a while. So hopefully I can keep it up. If not I'll keep trying.

I applaud you for getting your ass to this point. Get to the next point.
Go to the Welcome Center and read how to get started.
All the Bad Ass Quitters on here are going to tell you this, but this it the deal:
1. Post Roll
2. Keep Your Word (Simple Sounding - But Oh So Important)
3. Repeat
Damn straight it is that simple.
Join us. Best damn decision you've ever made. If you've only quit three times then you're about ten or fifteen times behind me, but you and I can be quit forever from this day forward together. Just give me your word. Mine is over in my quit group.

Listen up JJ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v19PpD5uqL0)
Hope...the last hope. The Great White Hope. Bob Hope. Hope Solo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_Solo)....are all lame, terrible movies, dead or a sieve.
If you want it, then you fight for it. You make your own path. How do I know this to be truth? Because myself and a few other folks on here have fought our way to freedom.
So, if you feel that may be tucked down in your Jockey's is a budding pair of quitter balls, this is the place for you.
Now I'll tell you the secret stuff:
1. Hit the pink Welcome Center link in the upper left. There you will learn where, what and how we do stuff here.
2. Post Roll. This is how we do it. We get up everyday and put our word down that we are quit. And we stick to our word because we are all men and women of our word. Accountability, that's to yourself and the rest of us. We post everyday. No excuses. "I fell and can't get up" or "My dog ate my..." don't fly here. Don't fuck with the system. Can't get to a computer? Text a quit bro/sis. Don't got numbers? Get some.
3. Read. Read it all. Read it all again. There is so much insight into how to get it done within this site. You got to be prepared. If you wrote down "Get me quit" to Santa and now you are here, you know that it just don't come in the mail. You gotta fight for it and that means being proactive and prepared. Know your enemy. Fight.
4. Get your ass involved. Everyone on this site, no matter who they are, want a single thing: you to be successful in your quit. And if you need help anyone of these folks would give you a hand but you gotta earn it. You gotta give it your best and that means being involved.
5. Reach out. Shit will hit the fan. Question is what you do when it happens? Will you crumble like a cookie? Perhaps an Oreo cookie? Or will you choose life and fight. You get into chat. You PM a brother or sister. You text a brother or sister. Anyone will talk you off the ledge but you gotta let folks know you need it.
Welcome. Enjoy the quit pool. Wear proper attire. Something salmon.

As I said, clearly the more bad ass quitters would be able to give you more...
First, about posting roll...Soul is right on. I'm on Day 15. But don't fuck with roll. If it ain't real to you then you're not in the right place.
Second, read...yeah, this will help you. It will also frighten you...which is also good. It should get you fired the fuck up to get your ass quit, own your own life, and stand up and say no more (if not then stop reading and go grab a can).
Third, you can PM me and I'll send you my office and cell phone number. You can call or text me.
Finally, please, for the love of all things Holy, don't wear something salmon.
PMac.

Post roll and change try to DO. I quit 1 day at a time. Join me. You can quit for 24 hours can't you? Post up. I want your name on April's roll call.

Maybe I'm just in some nicotine lacking fog here, but where is Roll?
Made it through another night btw without a dip. Doubling up on the coffee here at work and trying to find projects for myself to do when I get home to keep me busy.

Here is how to post roll call... (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=50)
i'm going to read this thread and then respond, but i wanted to get you to roll call ASAP.

alright, JJ. soul has given you the crash course. it's time to get it on.
the real struggle that you'll have, based on your previous stoppages, is actually QUITTING. those were some nice stops, but you never shut the door to nicotine.
some people have their own "special" way of shutting that door for good, problem is, most of the time they've stashed a hide-a-key so they can really open it whenever they want to. the bad-assed quitters of KTC shut the door this way:
1. post roll
2. honor your word
3. repeat
as steps 1-3 are going down every day, those same bad-assed quitters are doing the following:
a. exchanging phone numbers
b. texting/calling/emailing to check in with quit brothers and sisters
c. talking in chat
d. supporting others in their quit
e. guiding new quitters through the first part of the quit *cough*
f. posting support in multiple quit groups
g. talking to vets
h. accosting people in parking lots of gas stations and making little children cry.
okay, maybe only soul does "h," but all those other ones are done on a DAILY basis. the more you put yourself out there, the more support and accountability you'll get back from KTC.
THAT's how this place works. addicts supporting addicts. you either buy in, drink the kool-aid, and get quitting or not. thing is, i've never heard someone who's quit wish they were not so, but i've heard plenty of users wish they were quit. you've got the tools and the support staring you in the face. it's up to you to embrace them.

Got it! Thanks!

Sometimes you have to take this crap minute by minute. I wish I could just sleep through it sometimes.
It helps to come here to vent though.

48 hours down...

48 hours down...
24 hours and you are past the physical...then we battle the mental. And when I say 'we', I mean you and me and the rest of the folks here. Have a plan. Know what to do in your "hour of need". Here's step one: FIGHT. You fill in the rest...

Still haven't heard from you or gotten a PM from you asking for a number or something so that you can call or text me if you get in tight and need someone to help you out.
Don't wait until you fuck up and cave to realize how this works.

I appreciate the offer PMac but I've got the forum up on my iPhone at all times ready to go so I can always vent, rage, complain or whatever when I need to.
Day 3 here we go! Ready to have that nasty shit out of my system for good!!

easy on the caffine. the insomnia will happen all by itself.
You just might wanna take pmac up on his offer.
As many numbers as possible are very beneficial to staying quit.
There will be a time you will need one. Guaranteed!!!

get numbers. give numbers.
i have 17 in my phone right now that i know i can call or text at any time to get help. that's some A-grade quit protection right there. some of those numbers are vets, some are quit brothers, some are guys that i'm invested in. all have my back, and i have all of there's.
strength in numbers.
-
Well according to what some are telling me is 'science', all that nicotine should physically be out of my body now.
So now it's just a matter of dealing with all of those daily triggers and the tricks the brain can play on us quitters.
Nothin' I can't handle though ;)
I have a couple of phone numbers for back up, and of course this message board and the live chat channel.
No more! Bring it!

You can never have too many numbers. It is a guaranteed lifeline to people who understand every second of what you are/will go through. These people will save your life if you let them...
Up to you.

1 day at a time.
If not 1 day, 1 hour at a time.
If not 1 hour, 1 minute at a time.
If not 1 minuite, 1 breath at a time.
The foundation of quit is being built. Soon, this will be your proudest moment. You are the man nic lost to.

I think I've figured out why I find it so difficult to stay quit, I have no real compelling reason for myself to stay quit. I've never had a negative feeling about dipping. Drinking was easy to quit b/c I had so many negative experiences with it, I became so depressed afterwards I actually feared I would one day take my own life after drinking. So I quit and never looked back and have never had the slightest urge to drink for over 4 years. From day one of not drinking I've been happier. On the other hand I have zero negative feelings towards dipping, other than it's gross and may cause cancer. It's never depressed me and I've always been happy doing it.
The first time I quit was a part of a 'get healthy and change my life' period. And I did that and stayed healthy and am still healthy. The second time I quit was b/c my new girlfriend (now fiance) hated it and I didn't want to keep doing it and hide it from her. This quit is for the the same reason, for her, not for myself.
I need to find a reason for myself to quit, not quit for someone else, otherwise this quit is destined for failure.

Here are a few dozen reasons:
http://killthecan.org/pics/ (http://killthecan.org/pics/)
If that's not enough, then read Jenny and Tom Kern's story (http://killthecan.org/facts/jennykern.asp).
Do you have family? I'm sure they would love to have you around rather than sit at the side of your hospital bed as you try to recover from having half of you face removed.
This shit is nothing more than addictive poison. It does NOTHING to improve the quality of your life. You are simply hooked on a drug that is sold to you for no other reason than to make enormous profits for scum-sucking murderers, i.e. tobacco executives. If you use tobacco you are literally KILLING YOURSELF so that a small handful of fat cats can relax in their mansions on their private beaches at your expense.
Tobacco is the weapon they use to rob you with.
Do you really want to be a part of that? I sure as fuck don't.
Romanticizing chew is one of the early parts of the fog/suck. It's the nic bitch whispering seductively in your ear like a whoreish ex-girlfriend. She telling you there's nothing wrong with a little sucky sucky. You might remember how much you like it...
Problem is, that whoreish ex-girlfriend has herpes. And you know what happens when you get your knob slobbed by a girl with herpes don't you?
Forget it man, you made the right choice. You have a million reasons to stay quit, and NONE to go back. Keep posting. Make your promise every day. Stay quit one day at a time. That's it. Pretty soon you'll look back on this and wonder why you even wrote that.

Fucking Really???
I bet if I put a revolver to your head with one bullet, spun the chamber, you would chicken the fuck out on pulling the trigger.
So what perplexes me is why would you pull the trigger on a gun loaded with six bullets with nobody egging you on.
Not enough?? iknow some people are pretty fucking hard headded. Let's try this.
LetÂ’s play a game: ItÂ’s called Would You Drink It.
If I had a cup full of poison and I told you I would give you one million dollars to drink it. Oh there is a catch. It will make you sicker than you have ever been, your body will ache, your internal organs may feel like they are melting, you will bleed from every orifice, and your hair will fall out. These effects will last one week but you will have one million dollars.
Would you drink it?
No, ok letÂ’s up the ante a little. LetÂ’s say I would give you two million dollars to drink the poison. But this time the effects will be worse than case one and will last for 30 days. You will be even sicker, you will bleed even more, you will be so sick you will wish for death. Now keep in mind you will be two million dollars richer.
Would you drink it?
Now here is where it gets interesting: If I told you that you had to drink that cup of poison and it was going to cost you 2 million dollars and you would get all of the symptoms listed above and more just to possibly stay alive.
Would you drink it?
P.S. It is your chemotherapy because you have cancer due to your decision to keep dipping when you had the opportunity to quit. You never know which dip will turn on the cancer gene in that one cell that starts the end. Think long and hard before you decide to pack your lip full of that shit. It will kill you! Are you really that selfish? DonÂ’t the oneÂ’s that care about you deserve better? DonÂ’t you deserve better? Will you really doom yourself to this fate? The choice is yours. I choose Never Again!

^^^What he said. He's real smart...
The Kern's story really hit home for me. Losing my father-in-law to cancer really hit home for me. ODT has a pretty good story to tell as well. (Thank you Curtis)
Be 100% committed or fail.....your choice.
Emancipate yourself brother....

I caved that day.
I really did need to find a reason to quit for myself, and I found it.
Right after I caved I went back to my ninja dipping ways. Sneaking around. Dip controlled the timeline of my life. I was a slave. I don't like being a slave. I will never be a slave again.
I caved that day.
Today is day 100.
I can't think everyone here enough, especially my extremely supportive April brothers.
I know from experience that this is only the first step, but I know that as long as I keep coming back here day after day, there is no reason to ever have a day 1 again.
Today is day 100 and I am NOT a slave.

Congrats on getting to 100!
That alone is quite an accomplishment but you said it and I would have to agree that is still just a start in a very long trip to remain quit.
Stay strong and congrats again!

I'm bored and don't feel like actually doing work so I'm just going to use this old wasteland of a topic to vent and make nonsensical statements.
A meeting could have been avoided today if someone just would have replied to my email this morning. Now I have a waste of a meeting in 40 minutes. Assholes.
My wedding is 38 days away! Very excited but still have a ton to do. A little pissed at a couple of people who ended up not being able to make it, others I don't give a shit about and quite honestly am glad that I don't have to pay for their meals.
Once again my biological father will not be at one of the major events in my life. I am finally done with him. 'Finger' Thank you to my step-father for being a great dad and my best man.
Either way, I can't wait to have that ring on my finger, as weird as that may sound.
I've been running 3 days a week which is great and all but I really need to get to an actual gym a couple of days a week.
It's employee appreciation week, I'm going to miss free ice cream on Friday, fuck.
Had a little bit of a crave today, it came and went quickly.
Moondawgy posted an awesome HoF speech! Check it out! I need to get back to writing mine. Way to many other things going on right now though.
And those are random thoughts...

Hey glad for your random thoughts. Life is funny. Once you tell the biological dad to stick it, he will try to mend a fence. He will get older and realize that due to his choices...he is all alone in his old age and will want to have you around.
Send him the song, "Cats in the cradle" My boy's whenever they ask me to go do something and I say, "I can't" They say, "No problem" and walk of singing the cats in the cradle. (My kids are shits. They tease the hell out of me.)
I have a random thought for you. First off, I hate local news. You get 5 min of sports and about 20 minutes of weather? My wife loves weather. "What is the forecast for tomorrow? So I suffer through the news. Dave with his pinpoint weather keeps updating us every couple of minutes. When they break for a commercial, Dave gives us a preview of his weather forecast. Then 10 long grueling minutes of weather!!!!!!!!
Top it off, my wife thinks the weatherman is such a dork that she laughs and rewinds it for me to hear what he said. So here it is folks. If weather is news worthy like a tornado in Utah or Rain in So Cal. Talk about it. Other wise just give us the 5 day forecast and stop acting like a douche.

I'm bored and don't feel like actually doing work so I'm just going to use this old wasteland of a topic to vent and make nonsensical statements.
A meeting could have been avoided today if someone just would have replied to my email this morning. Now I have a waste of a meeting in 40 minutes. Assholes.
My wedding is 38 days away! Very excited but still have a ton to do. A little pissed at a couple of people who ended up not being able to make it, others I don't give a shit about and quite honestly am glad that I don't have to pay for their meals.
Once again my biological father will not be at one of the major events in my life. I am finally done with him. 'Finger' Thank you to my step-father for being a great dad and my best man.
Either way, I can't wait to have that ring on my finger, as weird as that may sound.
I've been running 3 days a week which is great and all but I really need to get to an actual gym a couple of days a week.
It's employee appreciation week, I'm going to miss free ice cream on Friday, fuck.
Had a little bit of a crave today, it came and went quickly.
Moondawgy posted an awesome HoF speech! Check it out! I need to get back to writing mine. Way to many other things going on right now though.
And those are random thoughts...

Well golly it's great to know there's more guys out there like me sitting around the office trying to kill time on KTC. Gotta love it.
Notes on the random thoughts. JJ, sorry to hear about your bio father but I'm glad you have a great step dad. I'm a step father myself and my wife and I are expecting the twins later this year. I hope my step sons and I can bond someday, they're teenage boys (14 11) so it's difficult to converse with them for more than 2 minutes at a time.
I got married last October. Its been great so far and I wish you the best. You should invite the GHG to your wedding if you'd really like a good time. What's your wedding theme? I'm thinking a QLF wedding theme would be great and I'm sure your fiance would love it!! Rated could teach us how to break dance and Auburn could demonstrate the pork sword shuffle. Ah the good ole days....
As for the weather, that's something that takes 5 minutes of your time online to check. Not sure why anyone would want to watch the entire weather segment of the news. Will she watch the Weather Channel? At least the WC has specials on tornadoes and hurricanes and other destructive weather shit. Just a thought....a random thought......

Unfortunately the wedding specifics were all set well before I joined KTC.
Weather and sports I can check in 10 seconds on my phone or iPad. I watch News in the morning for news. However the weather and traffic girls are especially hot so I don't miss those segments.
I'm exhausted today for some reason, unfortunately it's not b/c I had too much sex last night.
I probably need to actually try to get some work done tomorrow since other than a few meetings I hardly got shit done today and I'm taking Friday off.
When you get a chance...

Doesn't sound weird at all. Find the right woman and be emotionally mature enough in life = great things.

My ex-girlfriend's grandfather once told us a story about how he nearly ran over Einstein with a single horse drawn buggy while riding around Princeton's campus back in the 1930's or 40's. According to John, it was a snowy morning and Einstein was walking with his hands clasped behind his back obviously deep in thought. John had to rear back the reins and barely missed running him over. The most interesting part of the story was that Einstein never once looked up or broke his stride. Dude was so deep in thought that he didn't even notice he was about to get trampled by a horse. True story.....or so I was told.

Cool story though. He would be a rock star today, though from what I've read and seen he was back then too.

There is a woman's mouth joke lurking around here someplace......

Listen here fucksticks. I have a little something to say about making that little extra promise of 200, 300, 400, and so on.
It's true, all that is asked here is to make a daily promise and to keep that promise. That's it. But those two things are wrapped in the greater idea of ACCOUNTABILITY.
The more accountability, the stronger the quit. That's why I choose to let 15 assholes flood my inbox with nonsense and pictures of tonka trucks mining vaginas. That's also why I made the more overarching promise of 200 days to add to my daily promise of quit. ACCOUNTABILITY.
Now, onto the subject of life after 100. A lot of people seem to think it's ok to leave after day 100. Some are even claiming that it may be better for their quit! Crazy right!
Now in my early days of quit (first month) I didn't come on here every day, I wanted to block dipping from my mind completely and obviously being on here would be counter to that. That was a dangerous move on my part, however I feel it would be even more dangerous now. If I don't come here every day and post roll I could easily slip into the mind set that 'hey I've got this' which morphs into 'I'm not an addict' which eventually mutates into the devil spawn of 'I can have just one.'
At this point it would be easy to say 'I don't need the site anymore.' Afterall, I don't have physical craves, it's all mental. In fact I can't remember my last crave that laster over 5 minutes. But the craves are there.
Even those of you with 1000 days know what I'm talking about. You're standing there at the counter of your local convenience store. Picking up your special ordered extra large magnum condums with triple reservoir tip. You glance over the shoulder of the cashier who's been undressing you with her eyes and see that row of cans. Just looking to see if they still carry your particular brand. You see it and you're mind pauses for a minute or two. It happens to all of us.
Now what happens next depends on the person.
For me, my next thought is 'what kind of fucking hell would I have to go through if I took a dip and didn't post roll tomorrow.' Notice that I didn't say what kind of hell would I get if I posted a day 1, I'm just talking about the hell I would get from not posting at all!
For some, the next thought might be 'fuck it, I can have just one.' Nothing to be accountable for and no one to be accountable too.
Now I'm not saying hang out here all day. I understand needing a break. But all I ask is that you come once a day. Post. Keep your promise. Come back tomorrow.
How hard is that.
That's all I got for now mfers!

Good stuff.
Another thing to consider is one needs to be here to help the quitter that shows up next month. Volunteering to help new quitters strengthens your quit and give purpose to your life.

There are tons of examples on this board of people who "had this"
It is really very simple for me. I have yet to see one person who posts regularly cave. Hasn't happened. I have seen many that wander from the site and post another 1.
We will always be addicts. The second any of us forget that we are fucked.
STAY QUIT

Seriously, I am addicted to this place. I love it. You all have taught me so much.
There may be some dysfunction but I lean to this site for more than my quit. Yes I post roll, yes I am a posting whore. I love to read intros and make a comment. I love to share thought and read comments.
I just feel like we are a team working for individual quits. Takes me back to my wrestling days. Your matches where individual but your personal victories contributed to your team. So you gave everything you had. Every insight and every move to help everyone win. Then each person had to go on the matt and battle on their own.
JJPrice: Don't know you from Adam but props to your statement. Also, Thank you for this...."Listen here fucksticks" and "That's why I choose to let 15 assholes flood my inbox with nonsense and pictures of tonka trucks mining vaginas."
'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup'
This is a fun show. 'Popcorn' You have the plot, side plots the conflicts, victories and reslove. This place beats reality TV anyday.
LOVE BEING QUIT. PART OF WHY I WONT CAVE is becacause of all you Fucktards!!! 'crackup'

FYI
So I listen to podcasts and other crap throughout my work day normally. I like good talk radio. So I thought I would throw out my top 3 radio programs I listen to just incase any of you are looking for something to listen to.
1. Howard Stern - SiriusXM (or you can find places to download it for free) - He's barely on anymore but his show is still the best out there.
2. Dan Patrick Show - FM Radio, stream from his website, or podcast - IMO the best sports radio show available by far. Excellent entertainment.
3. Stuff You Should Know - Podcast - Just a really interesting podcast if you like to keep on learning yet still be entertained. I downloaded the last 4 years of it back in January and am still a year away from being caught up.
So that's the jjprice Top 3 Playlist!

span style='font-family:Optima'Not all Blahs are dip related/span
Every bad mood or general hazy blah feeling is not necessarily dip related.
Today I'm feeling extremely shitty. The blahs have me. But I know they aren't dip related, I can feel it. They are just the general blahs that all of us feel from time to time as normal human beings.
I think it's important to recognize the difference. For some reason. I don't know, today sucks and needs to end.
Fuck it.

What I'm Thankful For
So with my wedding coming up there are several things I'm thankful for now that I'm quit.
- I don't have to dodge the camera on my bachelor party/fishing trip b/c I don't want to have a picture taken of me with a turd in my mouth.
- I don't have to plan the events of my wedding day and reception around when I'm going to sneak in a dip. No leaving the party to put a fatty in for 10 minutes around the corner.
- I don't have to pack 5+ cans of cancer for my week long honeymoon in Jamaica. I also don't have to worry about having the TSA search my bags and pull out all those can in front of a crowd of disgusted onlookers.
- Finally I don't have to worry about where I'm going to get dip in another country if I happen to run out, which would turn into me freaking out, getting irritable and ruining our honeymoon more than likely.
Thank God I'm Free!!

Great post. That took me back to my trip to Italy. Always looking for a can and there were none. No one sells chew. I finally ask and they looked at me with absolute disgust!
Everyone of these guys smoked? I didn't get it. I thought smoking was a bad habit and the smokers were more disgusted with mine?
No worries now I have scoreboard on all nicotine users. I am free.
I am thankful you posted this. Reminds me of how good freedom is.
Stay quit!

I find it quite satisfying to enjoy going to and coaching my kids without the anxiety of needing a can and a load of dip in my lip to enjoy the game!

I had to go in the way back machine to find this post of mine, but I thought it relavent bc I see a good number of people above the line that think they're too cool for school and don't need to post their number.
So here it is again.
There really is NO excuse not to post your number. I think we all agree that we are here because the system works. And when you get right down to it that system boils down to two things, be accountable and post roll. Posting roll consists of two things, your name and your number of days quit. You can put whatever you want to after that, no rules, but you need to post your name and number.
I realized how important that number was when I requested access to post on the blog. I was told you can post anything you want to, it doesn't even need to be about dipping or tobacco However there was one rule, you must always end it with your number of days quit.
It's basic accountability. Early in your quit it should be automatic, like an involuntary muscle, whenever you post your name you automatically post your number. it's a reminder of how far you've come and should be important and meaningful to you.
Be proud of your number. Post your number.

I had to go in the way back machine to find this post of mine, but I thought it relavent bc I see a good number of people above the line that think they're too cool for school and don't need to post their number.
So here it is again.
There really is NO excuse not to post your number. I think we all agree that we are here because the system works. And when you get right down to it that system boils down to two things, be accountable and post roll. Posting roll consists of two things, your name and your number of days quit. You can put whatever you want to after that, no rules, but you need to post your name and number.
I realized how important that number was when I requested access to post on the blog. I was told you can post anything you want to, it doesn't even need to be about dipping or tobacco However there was one rule, you must always end it with your number of days quit.
It's basic accountability. Early in your quit it should be automatic, like an involuntary muscle, whenever you post your name you automatically post your number. it's a reminder of how far you've come and should be important and meaningful to you.
Be proud of your number. Post your number.

With so much drama in the KTC it's kinda hard being J-J-P-R-I-C-E
...
Ok, well it's really not hard. I'm too busy with wedding stuff to get too caught up in the drama.
Ok, I'm caught up in it. But I do most of my talking in The Network.
...
Onto the point. Sometimes there will be drama around here. A lot of personalities, a lot of nic rage, all crammed into one space. It's bound to happen.
Don't let it get you down though, enjoy it for the entertainment it is. It's only temporary and almost never lasts more than a couple of days and then everyone is back together coddeling each others' jocks.
The only thing that matters here is your quit, and a little arguing isn't effecting your quit. The only thing that threatens your quit is that little wisper in your ear and a moment of weakness. That little voice might tell you that any drama is not good for your quit, but it's just trying to lure you off the site and make you weak. Don't let that bitch sweet talk you.

I disagree. I would specifically target certain dumb ass individuals to bitch slap instead of doing it at random. If I ran out of dumb asses to slap then I would consider doing it at random.

So my last day at work before my longest time not working since I graduated college.
I've been caught up on everything and beyond for a week so today will pretty much be spent jacking around on the internet and playing on my phone.

At best there are 3 women in the office I would consider giving mustache rides to, and considering I'm getting married in 3 days that may be ill advised at this time.

Night before my wedding. Sitting in hotel room, alone.
Can't wait for tomorrow but not feeling the best. Mom's pissed off at me for no reason. Probably due to having a few drinks. I wonder why I quit drinking all those years ago?? Thanks for making me feel like shit the night before the most important day of my life. Im 33, aren't I too old for this?
Anyway, had to vent.
Love my beautiful bride to be and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her!
Ahhhhh tomorrow! Finally!

For 7 days I was in Jamaica.
No cell phone service.
Internet only in the lobby and I had to get a new login and password from the front desk to access it everyday.
I had to go out of my way and interrupt the leisurely care free flow of my honeymoon in order to simply post roll. It was a pain in the ass.
Did I miss a day of posting roll??
FUCK NO.
I understand that there are days where you may not be able to post roll. But unless you are overseas, in the military, or in a coma, those days are few and far between.
If you have any phone service you have absolutely no excuse.
That is all.

Holy shit these last couple of days have been tough. I keep thinking to myself "just one fucking dip. why not? who do I have to answer to? I'm a grown man, I should be able to do whatever I want."
Fucking killing me. I've put in the fake stuff maybe 6 times over the past 170 days and I have one in right now.
Fuck I curse the day I first put that shit in my mouth.
:wacko:

I can relate on so many levels brother!!
I use the fake stuff and always have some handy just to keep myself in check!
This past weekend I was at my daughters softball tournament and was having some very serious craves....I kept thinking hey this guy over here has some ....I could just go bum one ....no one will ever know...... 'Crazy' What a dumb ass addicted mind will tell us is incredible!
Then its like this I talk myself totally out of it and throw in a fake fatty which tricks my mind and all better!
There is never going to be a good reason to go back to the nic-bitch and I have to always be on guard to punch the temptation away as soon as it comes up, by any means necessary!
Stay strong brother!

You'd have to answer to me and the QLF Crew, among others. Does someone need a narrative to get them over their funk?

I don't like knowing that after 170 days I will still have the cravings that I have now..
I hate being a addict.

It is what it is.
We post roll when times are bad. We post roll when times are good.
It serves a purpose for both.
I am about a year quit. The last "crave" I had was last month. I was getting ready for a road trip to a concert with some smokers and chewers. I started thinking about how hard it was going to be to refuse if offered. I started thinking about what it would feel like to fail.
I posted roll early that morning, and I went on my trip. Shit was fucking easy to get through. It wasn't as hard as I imagined, and a few of the guys even held back with their usage while around me. I was more worked up over the trip and was fine during it.
What I'm saying here is fuck tomorrow. You can't get to 170 if you can't get through today. Any perception that you have about tomorrow is probably not real.
It gets better. Way better.
But there are bumps in the road, and right around the 200 area it's not the most fun. Luckily, you've learned so many ways to cope and have so much support here that failure is not an option. Think about how good it has been, and just imagine that time elongated. That's what happens the longer you are quit. Your good times get longer. You still have bad times, but they are fewer and far between.
You can do this.

It keeps getting better. Much better. Fuck those memories - they're just a bunch of lies. Some sort of Vulcan mind probe shit planted by the tobacco companies. You are smarter and tougher than them!

I hear you RL. I had a problem with that myself. I found it easier to move forward knowing and accepting the fact that craves are going to stick around for a long long time. Make peace with it and take it one day at a time.

And got a flat tire at lunch. Great day.
'bang head'

This is the reason why I am here! everyone knows what I am going through and the support is like none other. We stick together we stay quit together.
-
JJ - proud to quit with you every damn day brother. We're addicts for life. We will always have craves. But we get stronger. And fighting the craves gets easier. Kind of the opposite of marriage - oops my bad - ummm....hope things are still blissful post honeymoon......... :D

Day 201
Made it another 100 days. For me the second hundred days was harder than the first, but at least it went quicker.
Here's to the next 100!
