Ok man today marks a milestone yet it's only proof that the method of ODAAT and that posting roll and accountability of the brotherhood is working. Stay close to the site. I quit with your bad ass all damn day bro.


Our train stops next in Dedham MA to pick up a man by the screen name flynniej15. This bad ass quitter is married of 15years and has 3 kids, Son = 14, Daughter = 13, Son = 9. He started dipping at 19 years old and would dip just about anything other than the Rooster, yuck lmao. He wants to bring Guinness or maybe some vodka or gin onto the train and pleads that we contact his wife only after emergency medical responders have been called out in the event of an emergency. flynniej15 will do anything inappropriate of which he can convince his wife to let him do. As an example, once he hung off the trunk of a car driving down main street of WestRox (when I was invincible 18/19) stunt man style grabbing the trunk near the back windshield. That's dicked up bro!!!
To celebrate he is going to post a +1 and sign up for 200,,,,what a bad ass.
When asked about words of wisdom he simply said "Read, as much as you can - especially when you are in the fog. Then come back and read more, get on chat"! Great advice bro.
This guy claims to be a Revenue Operations Manager (whatever that is lol) sounds f-ing important though! And he says he drives an Urban Assault Vehicle made by Honda! I have googled that and everything....I just can't find one of those. It sounds BA, so send us the make and model please lmao. He likes hockey so we know he hasn't got any of his own teeth, it's gotta be easier to keep your dentures clean now that our quit huh????? He also climbs trees, this must be to hunt poor, innocent, defenseless, unarmed, and helpless animals. Can I get on your lease?????
When asked Whom are you most afraid of getting on your ass from KTC? This quitter responded "Evil, but would be more concerned about letting folks down then ass whoopin", I smell quit all over this guy!!!
flynniej15 sends out a big thanks to the guys that reached out when he first posted and encouraged and set him on the straight. The folks on Chat like 2mch and illphil  After that he began to look to his own group JRiz, Duth, Matt  shu and he says "To many to name - those that sent digits  texts and really the folks on Chat late night"
Then this bad ass posted this below to Jake and I which I appreciated very much.
"Thanks guys - the train stop seemed out of reach the day I posted 1 and 1/2. Through your example and those of other Vets I have learned to only worry about not dipping today and the counting of +1 days is just a byproduct of the accountability here". Hell yes get on the damn train bro you've earned every damn bit of your seat here, quit with you Erussell.
I would rather lose to a cheater than win as a cheater.

Congrats on making it through a long drive, I know for many here that's an issue, most of all me. I haven't tried one yet longer than my 1/2 hr commute, but even that requires hooch for me now. ODAAT. So thanks for posting that a roadtrip is possible! :D

Had my first real test in a bit - driving from Boston to Harrisburg with the fam -
I am glad I had prepared the car with Atomic hotballs and a tin of Hooch.

Those drives over 4 hours were always good for a ninja dip...

It is liberating to be clean - how much of life did we miss sneaking around trying not to be caught ... enjoyed Hershey Park  Gettysburg with the fam with no other cravings.
Freedom tastes a lot sweeter than any dip!

You are winning the battle one day at a time.

+1 with you Brother!
Yes.... you're winning. Quit on.......

Hit a solid month today -

Had a great day at the beach - Usually this would involve me needing to "walk back to the car for something" so that I could ninja a dip without anyone in my family knowing.

None of that and it was a great day... now I just need to quit trying to toss my oldest son since he only weighs about 30 pounds less and is the same height
(tweaked the ol back - hard time getting out of bed this morning) :) QLF today
Good job brother. Ahhhh the beach.

I wasn't a ninja dipper, so I just dipped away right there. Spitting right in the ocean where my kids and wife were swimming. Occasionally I would spit in the sand and cover it up with more sand. What an ass hat I was! Thinks for the memories. I hate the poison!!! Quit with you brother.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Heading to the dentist on the 8th first time in 2 years.... see what they have to say about the ol gum line  some ol cavities. Hopefully a clean cancer screen and some nice clean teeth....

Work still sucks - not helping the craves (still hit mostly on the ride home from work) but getting through so far
I went to the dentist two weeks ago (and two weeks after I quit). The leukoplakia was already gone and my dentist was so pumped that I'd quit (he's a former chewer himself, quit after he started dental school and saw how terrible it was for your mouth and general well-being). Not to say that everything is cured right after you quit; you'll still be at an elevated risk for cancer for another 10 years. But guess what: you're quit today, you've gotten to meet some good companions in your quit group, and your body is already healing itself as sores in your mouth will heal and your blood vessels expand, increasing blood flow to your limbs, extremities, and brain. Proud to have you in our group and excited to hear what the dentist says.
We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.

Has tobacco been so kind to you that you should leave it with regret? There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.

Come join us. Come be quit with us. Rather than slowly commit suicide, slowly regain your health. It might hurt at first, but it won't kill you. And once the birthing process is done you'll find yourself a free man. With friends. And health. And wealth. Come drink at the fountain of quit.
