True. Quitting is not easy. But yet it is so simple.

Post roll.
Keep promise.
Repeat.

See? Simple.
I quit with you today.

nicely done on the week clean!

Anxiety was a problem for me also. Just remember nicotine cannot fix any issues you are having.

STAY QUIT!

the anxiety IS a MF.. it does get better. But if you need to don't hesitate to see a doctor about it.

I was OBSESSSING about health issues. when i quit. If that is what you have going on i can relate.

My GP put me on a medication to help and it did.

It gets a lot better.

spend day 10 fishing and stayed true to my quit. I could feel that nic bitch looking at me but I shook that shit off. Posting roll in the mornings helps keep me focused and on target through out the day. QLFEDD

Your doing great brother. I waited three weeks to go fishing when I first began this journey. I use to think fishing and dipping were the same thing.

It was hard for me to get out there without the poison for the first time. After I did get out there I found that fishing and the poison were not the same. I found that I could cast just as well without it. I found that I could catch or not catch just as well without it. The boat surely didn't need it.

Also don't worry about the end of the trip. You'll still be able to exaggerate your catch by a few pounds. Maybe even add a couple of fish to the story. I personally wouldn't know anything about that though.

Now when i'm out there I enjoy it more than ever. Next time your out there take a look at the world without nicotine running through your blood. We were desensitized by a drug that didn't care anything about feeling and emotions. Darn glad to be quit with you. Keep your head pointed forward,, Nothing back there for you but a filthy disgusting tin of poison...

Fishing without dip can be a tough hurdle at first. But with a bad ass quitter like you it was more like a bump in the road. The best thing to do is keep taking it one day at a time. Post Roll and be a man of your word. Which you are definitely doing. You will see how amazing it is to do things without nicotine. Keep up the good work and keep your head on a swivel. That nic bitch will show up unannounced.

Awesome way to enjoy the day! I agree, there's nothing like posting roll in the morning. Just a quick simple promise, but definitely keeps a guy on target through the day!

After four weeks quit I had my first dip dream this past weekend. What a BITCH, I woke up disappointed but refused to let that bitch keep me down. I feel like it was just another test that I passed and it only made me focus on my quit.

8 weeks down and missed roll for the first time the other day. The past week has been one of the hardest of my quit. Feel like my mind is in a fog and the nic bitch has really shooting at me. I would have missed roll again to day if sportsfan didn't have my back. First time during my quit that I feel weak but I'm still quit like fuck!

That's why we've got brotherhood  accountability on this site. Looking out for each other. I hear ya on a tough week, finally 8 weeks down for me too  everytime I think I'm gonna start feeling better, I'm back down again. It's making me stronger in the end but dang am I getting impatient here! :D I just want to feel normal again... which of course is right about when I have a passing thought that if I just went back to the can I'd feel normal... ugh uh no I don't think so. QLF with ya today!

Brother... try to relax. Weak people don't stay quit for 8 weeks. You are being mind F'd. You are a bad man and you are winning. 8 weeks of victory!! Tell the nic B to shove off and frickin battle today. You will have ups and downs in life... dip won't help you with life's ups and down

First things first... you got to wake up and post roll early every day. EDD. No excuses for not doing that... especially 8 weeks in. Not doing so is putting your quit at risk in my opinion.

How important is it to you? Do you want to go back to being a slave to a stupid can of dirt? If your answer is the same as the past 8 weeks... then let's get your mind right and focus on this quit today. I am quit with you all day!

Looking forward to my first 100 days without the nic in my life. I'm a married father of three daughters and live south of Houston Texas. I took my first dip when I was 12 and stuck with copenhagen snuff for over twenty five years. I'm bringing my good friend Jack Daniels with me on the train along with some southern star bombshell blonde ale. I plan on enjoying thanksgiving with my family on my 100th day without the nic bitch for the first time in my adult life. I am a life long Dallas cowboys and Texas Longhorn fan and I enjoy to Barbeque (Texas BBQ Bitches) and drink beer. I have not been the most active member of the group but it was posting roll each day that made my quit possible because my word is my bond. Thanks to sportsfan231 and the others that checked in on me. The accountability and no holds barred attitude of KTC is what makes it work. Quitting is not for the weak. I'll be signing up for 200 and look forward adding up more +1's with my quit brothers.
