Welcome to the HOF brother.

Now we head over back to California to pick up a real special rose of a quitter. While touching lives he quietly embraces our hearts will grace. After stents in therapy he walked alone for many a years always carrying a lucky whiffleball. This ball was the spark to his life. Attempts have been made to capture said whiffleball and this badass quitter has will not stand for that at all. Even though he loves his 3 boys, wife, Ford F-150, his bay area teams and all that it was his whiffleball that he loves. He holds it close and guards it with all his might. JRod is his name and let him explain a bit. "IÂ’m 33 with an angelÂ’s face and a heart of gold. I enjoy sunsets and long walks on the beach. I am deadly with a fly swatter. I eat breakfast for breakfast. Every time I play catch at the park I manage to hit 13-year-old female bystanders in the face. My favorite color is orange. I poop at 9:00am every morning. My next-door neighbor is 85 and his name is Dick. I am a mediocre guitar player. I bought a fixer-upper but I donÂ’t know crap about construction. I am proud to be quit." Well said deadly fly swatter whiffleballer you. Hop aboard the KTC train and grab a seat. I saved one for your whiffleball too.

Crazy day. Had to evacuate my house due to the Yosemite Rim Fire. We're safe at my in-laws, but needless to say my stress level has been through the roof.

Fortunately I am thinking very clearly through all of this. My job is to protect my family and pray for the best. My job is NOT to use this intense stress as an excuse to give up on my quit.

Quit today.
Good work today. There will be days when you will want to say "Fuck it", but never forget that a problem + nicotine = 2 problems.

Be safe. Keep your family safe.
Glad to hear that you are all safe, the fact that you are still quit is important but very happy that your family is safe.

Quit on Duck!

Flawed logic. Here are some of the more ridiculous things I used to tell myself:

1. Chewing is good for me when IÂ’m sick, it helps get the phlegm up.
2. If I keep a good rotation of dip location (left, right, middle) I should be safe from any harmful effects.
3. If I tell my dentist that I eat a lot of sunflower seeds, that should explain the white, puckered flesh.
4. If I manage to cut down from 10 dips/day to 5, IÂ’m doing pretty good! Halfway quit!
5. My dad is 65 and smokes like a chimney.  My genes will save me!
6. Antioxidants will save me!  More dark chocolate, please.
7. If I get a can with a warning label that says “This Product is not a safe alternative to cigarettes” or “Smokeless tobacco is addictive” I’m completely happy and carefree.  “This product can cause gum disease and tooth loss” makes me slightly uncomfortable. “This product may cause mouth cancer” makes me panic a little and avert my eyes from the can.

Makes me sad to think that I spent so many years lying to myself.  Freedom and honesty taste sweeter every day.

I will quit with this guy any day!
We are quitting with this Fipper each day all day long! QUACK!QUACK!

Jrod, I was a fellow idiotic, ignorant, nincompoop as well. I used the same stupid logic and the ones that didn't work...well, I just didn't care. I was consumed by the addiction and my thoughts still are at times.

You are creating a great self-awareness that is and will continue to strengthen your quit along with those who read these posts. Nice Work Duck Fip!
'winker'
Addicts are the best at lying to ourselves! We also tend to believe everything the NIC bitch tells us! But as addicts who are clean today we are even better at recognizing the NIC bitches lies for what they really are! We are victorious because we woke up to the lies and now stand for something better! Regaining our freedom! You are doing it, well done!
Jarod, you are a bad man  I am proud to be quit with you! Keep slaying it brother! EDD!

Quick summary of quit for the diary:

Day 1: Woohoo! I'm quit! Thanks CBird for getting my head on straight!
Days 2-4: Huh? Wha-? Ugh. I'm quit.
Days 5-8: Fog fading, feeling proud, thank heavens for Derk40 pulling me along.
Day 9-14: Brutal. Kill me know. Thank you 2mch2lv4  company in the chat room for encouragement.
Days 15-23: Cruising. Easy as can be. Excited to help some newbies. Happy! Finally!
Day 24: Feels like day 2 again. WTF? She whispers. She whispers...
Day 25-29: Depressed. Tired. Bored. Depressed. Tired. Bored.
Day 30-31: Feel more like myself. Normal life. Hopefully...

I'm sure there will be plenty more ups and downs on this journey. All I know is that I'm happy to have this messy 1st month behind me. Thanks to all for the support so far. I will require at least an equal amount going forward. Quit today!
All I can say is "DIDO!"
