Today is my birthday and I have received from myself the greatest gift...
This will mark my first birthday since 1982 that I have not had a dip in my lip. My freshman year of high school, 19 freakin' 82!!!! We are now 13 years into a new Millennium and much has changed. Back in my day you could freely market tobacco products to whoever you like. Billboards, magazines, and Earl Campbell 'Skoal Brother' commercials(Star NFL Running back) . It was so cool to have that dip  'archer'  Manley even, no pussies need apply here. As I continue to rehabilitate from this addiction spanning three decades, I see the end and new beginning. Today I can simply say...Fuck You Earl! and the horse the Marlboro man rode in on for that matter (have some smoker quit brothers/sisters also). I still crave nicotine sometimes but I crave LIFE all the time.
Happy birthday and congratulations! thanks for noting the victory and what it was like back then. I started around then too, and just celebrated my own first clean birthday that I can remember. Way to go!!!
Proud to quit with you!
Happy belated B-Day brettlees!! Proud to quit with you also. Feels good to be free of nicotine!!

Fourty days for myself and the rollercoaster is still cruising top speed. Relish in the good days to prepar for dark times. Today was particularly shitty and i kept grabbing that pocket where my circle of comfort cancer used to be. I was surprised each time my hand came up empty. The difference was i had no inclination to hop in my truck and drive to the corner store. One month ago i would have crossed three counties to find a tin of grizzly natural fine cut. But no more.

Job well done my friend, the journey is far from over, but thus far its been a HUGE SUCCESS.

Congrats man.
Listen to Grizzfall on this one man. He is speaking the truth. You are doing well man, keep it up.
No day 40 here Son. Looking at day 72 with no tobacco for the first time in 31 years. Love the guy but don't give a FUCK about what others say. NO dark days to prepare for, I am winning mother fucker! DO NOT steal my inspiration or thunder with a statement of WEAKNESS or someone else's words. I DO NOT FEAR THE FUTURE

You didn't have the decency to re-post my original thought from today before you disrespected me.

Tomorrow is 30 Days quit. Was serious from the begining. Had a plan, a reason, and support day one. The war is not over but the main battle has been won for me  'aqua'
30 days, that is fantastic. Nice Job! Yes, those first battles were the hardest for me too, but the bitch aint done yet. Any one of us can fall off, and I think it happens as soon as we think we have this thing licked. Stay vigilant, keep on posting roll.
Quit with you.
Quit with you also Slim. Thanks!
