I am determined this time

[30yraddict]

I have been somewhat slack in checking in like I should on here. Most of the time, I post verses on the Verse of the Day. It has always been a type of personal accountability for me. However, over time I have grown somewhat comfortable with my quit and have slacked off. I am on 477 days quit, and I am proud of that accomplishment. Last night, though, reminded me that I will never be totally free from nicotine. I dreamed I was dipping, and even in that dream I was going through all the old excuses as to why I should be dipping. It seemed so real that when I woke up I felt horrible that I had slipped. I say all of this to remind the new quitters to be diligent in protecting their quit.

Stay accountable daily. It takes very little effort to hit roll call. If you need a number to text in your roll, shoot me a PM.

And many of us read those verses, even if we don't comment. Keep them coming.

I had a similar mindset after I hit 1,000 days a few years ago. I went from 100% roll call, to maybe 50%, then that turned into once every few months. Before I knew it, I'd been gone for over a year. After 2 years of dipping again, I'm now back on day 21. I cannot describe how much regret I have with caving after so much time. All I can say is do what works, and we all know that KTC is what works.

Steve speaks wisdom....

Might be a good time to recommit to your quit by rolling up your sleeves and jumping into Jan '15 and help some new quitters. It will help you remember your early days and how hard you fought to get where you are.

She's a patient bitch.. like a lion waiting for one of the herd to get distracted and wander away. It's always tempting for all of us to think we wouldn't go down that way... but it has been proven over and over again not to be the case. Nearly all of the repeat day 1's from long time KTC folks read "I Drifted".... "I became complacent" ....... "I thought I had this beat" ...

There's safety in posting roll. Stay with the herd- it may save your life, and almost certainly will save your quit.

It's guys like you that make this entirely uphill battle seem winnable. I'm on day 50 and will beat this once and for all. Thanks for the encouragement and words of wisdom

I am on day 375, and I have one warning for all the new quitters, "Do not let your guard down!" To this day, I still have dip dreams which seem so real. Every once and a while, I still hear the whisper of nicotine telling me that one little pinch won't hurt. It is then that I begin to think about all I went through with withdrawals, cancer scares, etc., and I realize tobacco is not worth it.

I realize I do not post like I should, but I want to thank the people on this site and the makers of this site for the support. Today is 300 for me, and I still occassionally have a dip dream. Some of them have seemed so real that I wake up thinking I caved, and I feel ashamed that I let you all down.

My biggest problem now is getting the weight off that I gained when I quit dipping. To the new quitters don't let weight gain cause you to go back to dipping. You can lose weight a whole lot easier than you can lose a jaw.

Stay quit and God bless!

300 is AWESOME. Congrats on killing the addiction one day at a time.

206 days free. Feels good to celebrate Christmas without looking for a place to go spit.

My thoughts exactly bro. Merry Christmas.

I'm also a Carolina Fan, family is from just outside of Columbia. I grew up a little north, just inside NC.

Anywho, I just wanted you to know that I've had a rough day, in a few hours it will be day 8 for me and my wife and I haven't been getting along the past few days.

I just read all of your intro and; I am scared to go to the Dentist, I'm 27 and haven't been in 6 years, I've dipped for about 11 years and what they may say will scare me.

The kids in your class... I grew up with the idea that it was OK to dip. Smoking got you suspended, dipping MIGHT get a frown from the teacher. I wish someone would've kicked my ass harder.

Anyway, I really just wanted to say thanks for bumping this to the top of the pile. It was definately worth the read tonight.

I am at day 195 in my quit. I still have dreams about dipping from time to time, but now I don't miss it. Friday, I busted a student of mine for dipping. He is a middle schooler, and I hope it scared him enough that he will quit. Fortunately, no one else in his home uses tobacco.

Sorry for the rambling, but I realize that I haven't made myself heard in a while so I thought I would let everyone know my quit is still on.

Congrats on 100 bro, that's a great accomplishment. Stick with the Slutember brothers for the next 100+. We're with you!

Right now I am on day 99 of my quit, and I am having dip dreams that seem so real. I haven't had these since the first couple of weeks. Is this normal this late in the game to be having these types of dreams?

Well tomorrow is a big damn day for you! And I have the dreams often and I am on day 134 today. For me they come and go.

Do not give them a second thought. Congrats on the c note.

Congrats on the 100 brother. Great job!!

Dip dreams- As long as you don't find an empty can around with your finger prints on it don't give it a second thought.

Same hear. Never had them at the beginning and all of sudden back to back days. Crazy. I went to BillyBills house in one and it was a freaking huge. Biggest house I ever been into. Then I knew it wasn't real.

Dip Dreams = Brain is Re-wiring.
It's a good thing.
Stay here, stay active, stay quit ODAAT. Quit on!
