PBR!
Congrats on your 100 days quit brother!
Hope you enjoy some real BBQ today (not that shit people from Texas think is BBQ - I'm talking the kind you eat on a daily basis here in KC!)

Congratulations on your first milestone, dude. This is a big one. As good as today feels, there is so much upside that you can't even believe it. Keep posting roll - it works.

Enjoy this big victory!

Day 66.

I in no way want to indicate that this fight is over. I understand that all it takes is a moment of weakness and lack of integrity to go right back to where I was.
However, I wanted to just say this to people who are on the fence about quitting or at the beginning of their quit. It gets better. It gets so much better.

There are many days where I don't even think about nicotine at all. If I do have the thought, seldom does it last.

I want to be a man of integrity though. I've realized there are many things I've been addicted to or currently am addicted to that have to change. I lie more than I'd like to. Hell, I lied about dip and kept it hidden from my wife for years.
I love my bourbon and have an intense collection, but if I'm honest, I drink too often and too much. Then there's the whole porn thing. Yeah, that stuff has gotta go and it has to go for good.

I suppose I've realized how much of a man child I am through this process. Eff that noise, it's time to be a man.
Quitting is such a wonderful thing. Well done.
You are doing great, pbr. It is amazing how much we learn about ourselves through this process of quitting.
Day 78:

This whole quitting thing has been pretty darn hard since Grandma passed away. Not only have I dealt with the grieving process, but it ruined my wife and I's vacation. Thankfully I was able to recoup the dollars invested in hotels, and such. I've been faced with a lot of mind games: More then I'd like.

"Just one won't hurt".

Boy, that's a lie there. I know what that leads to. Quitting this, has to be for life.
My wife had cancer last year, and my dad is currently fighting bone cancer. Life never stops, but neither does my quit. Fight on!
The key is that whatever happens around us, we have control over our actions. I couldn't say that when I was a slave to the tin. Now that I've fought for my freedom I will not let go of it. I will post roll again tomorrow. B)B
Great intro pbr......
Made my quit stronger today sir.
One problem + nicotine = Two Problems.
I Quit with you and your thorns today.

Day 32-

I've been pondering long and hard about what's motivating my quit.
What's motivating me to kick this stuff to the curb day in and day out?

I've got a reason here, a reason there and this that and the other thing.

I was talking to tejano, one of my april quitters and He said he needed a single word to push him. That word was freedom- that was his big reason.

Mine is Integrity. I want to be a man of integrity, and all that it entails.
That is why I quit- my integrity.

Day 13-

I have to keep living one day at a time.
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

On day 9 when grandpa died, I left work early to be home with my wife. I had a good cry, we went out to dinner together and I texted my brother and cousins about memories we have of grandpa.
It was pretty cathartic. Now my only concern is my mother. She's been through the ringer with her own disease, grandma getting cancer and now grandpa dying suddenly.

I tell you what though: looking to nicotine (or other substances for that matter) for help only leaves an empty answer. I won't be a slave any longer. Mom hated that I put that crap in my mouth. Another good reason to stay quit in this time of loss.
Life never stops, but neither does our quits. Hang tough man!
