I had a dip dream last night.....what bothers me the most is the fact that I don't recall making the choice to cave, but it just happened before I realized it in my dream....

If it's any consolation, I too had a dream the other night. Where I "don't recall making the choice to" go to work naked." But it just happened and before I realized it in my dream" people were coming in and out of my office where I sat behind a very small school sized desk, and I was just hoping and praying none of them would notice that I didn't have any pants on! 'help'

Perhaps your dream is a sign that you've NOT become complacent in your quit and subconsciously you still worry about loosing what you worked so hard for. Then again that may just be the ramblings of a man whose afraid of getting caught naked at work again!

I read through some of your intro(I plan to finish it later). Thanks for keeping a journal as you have. It inspiring. To be able to look back when you joined and see how you where struggling just like I have been and then to see you're at day 1152 today gives me hope that I can make it too.

Stay quit brother.

1,151- Been awhile since I needed to write anything here, but I had a dip dream last night... I don't recall much just that at some point in my dream I realized I had a fat turd of poison in my gob, and I freaked out. It bothered me in my dream, but being awake and thinking about it what bothers me the most is the fact that I don't recall making the choice to cave, but it just happened before I realized it in my dream. I went through my anti caving plan, and made sure I still have the KTC contract to give up in my wallet (I do). I feel great now because I am QLF, and only in a nightmare do I not have a choice about caving. I do NOT chose to cave. EVER.

Peace

This is how you nurture a quit. For the long haul, not deciding you are done then blowing the principles off. Nice job Matt thanks for posting and sharing this piece -- pure role model here quitters, notice how he does it!

Decided to jump out of my group for a while and just spent the last hour or two reading all 27 pages of this thread. Worth every minute. Amazing, eye-opening, inspiring, real and a ton of other adjectives. Thank you for sharing your ongoing journey. I fully realize there is no end to your story, or mine. We just have to keep cranking forward ODAAT! I'm at day 36 with the April 2016 group. I'm going to send them here to read this as a great example of what we need to do and to see the kind of support you and your fellow quit brothers served up to each other.

CONGRATULATIONS ON 1000... that is awesome - I'm just 964 days behind you!

This is one of the greatest posts I've ever read on this site. Ever.

Vets like Matt keep posting every day to help keep themselves accountable and build accountability, and new quitters like you provide tremendous inspiration this post made my day.

730- Wow, 2 years ago I was still poisoning myself slavishly with skoal apple blend. 2 cans a day every day... I was so scared. Scared I would never be able to quit, scared I would die too young because of the poison, and scared that was powerless... Then 5/28/2013 I jumped into the KTC pool, and I started drinking the kool-aide! The first 100-230 days were filled with frustration, rage, and the anguish of ripping the poison out of my life, but those days were also filled with pride at accomplishing something I had long feared impossible for me. Along the way I have been helped and inspired by so many people here, and I want to thank them for helping me get to such a better place. The first year was full of ups and downs, but the second year has been easy freedom from the poison. The only fear in the second year was complacency and the horror of ever thinking I could have just one. Also sad to see some BAQ leave KTC, but it is nice that they have left because they feel so strong in their quit that they no longer feel they need KTC. Sorry starting to ramble, but just wanted to express my gratitude for KTC and to let the newbs know how much better it gets if you stay the course.

p.s. I am NOT fishing for 2 year kudos so if you stumble on this intro for the first time here don't feel the need to reply congrates, but rather just read this thread

Too bad Matt. Heres some Kudos. You were one of the first that replied to me when I first quit. You gave me hope that it could be done. So thanks Brother! Congrats on 2 years of Freedom! 'oh yeah' 'wave'

Big congrats and thanks! keep showing up! 'oh yeah'

Big thumbs up. Those that leave KTC leave a crack open for the poison to sneak back in. We don't do stupid shit like that.

I'll raise a toast to you tonight, Matt. Congratulations.

Well said Blo, I love you man. When I get to Buffalo (soon to near never) you will get a big ass kiss from this slut. EDD with you!!!

Fine. You get no congratulatory remarks from me for your 2 years of badassery and role-model quit. Nope, no need to say that you're as respected a quitter as they come.

Despite my lack of acknowledgements and accolades, I will second your last statement. If you want to learn a thing or two about quitting, click on page 1 of this thread and get reading. I did and I'm better for it.

(You rock brother!)
