26 minutes ago I posted this. ^^

It's been so long since I really had to "use the tools" on the website. Re-read my intro (especially day 61), read others' intros, and checked my signature links. Yep. This site works. Feeling better already. Thanks guys. :)
Excellent!

Freedom is worth it!

Day 264 - man am I ever in a pissy mood today. First not great day in a while. Dull craves, first time in a long time. Nothing acute like when I first quit but for the first time in a long time do I have a bad attitude and I'm thinking for some stupid reason dip sounds nice. I will keep my promise to you all today. I will not use nicotine or tobacco in any form. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. If it gets bad enough I will text and call some folks for a kick in the pants. Until then I will sack up and rise above the temporary emotions on this.

200 Days. Couldn't have done it without this site. In our group I get to celebrate by answer these questions:

#1. What single moment or post on KTC stands out the most during your quit?
One might be inclined to bring up the drama queens who dropped out along the way, but to be honest, I canÂ’t remember half their names. Instead, what stands out to me is Day 69 in my quit which marked the longest I had ever gone without using dip since 2007. That and when folks from our group actually started hitting 100 days.


#2. If someone is lurking, considering a quit; what would you say to them (in 20 words or less)
Read my post from Day 86 of my quit: single/?p=9950929t=11636339


#3. What is the most rewarding part of being quit?
As I was writing this my 1-year-old daughter walked into the room. I scooped her up and hugged her. She is my world. I donÂ’t feel like a liar any more. I donÂ’t feel deep down guilty and selfish about my decision to choose dip over relationships. I love knowing I am no longer jeopardizing my daughterÂ’s future by choosing my addiction over her. The physical, emotional, and mental freedom is priceless. The restoration of relationships and being less self-centered by choosing to lord over my addiction is what makes me feel like I am winning every day.


Now I will Quit Every Damn Day to earn my way to 300!
Well done, enjoy the freedom and milestone and keep learning each and every day to take your life to new heights.
Congrats Zoe'sdad! Proud to have fought next to you for the last 200 days.

Day 150. The past 50 days since HOF have flown by. Trust me guys, it does get better. And it's worth it. I quit with you all today.
great to celebrate the victories! keep it rolling, and keep sharing! Not out of the woods yet but you get it about posting, and not getting complacent. I'll gladly take the free insurance policy against addiction and chew-induced disease and early death- paid only with the cost of a daily post!

Keep the solid quit rolling! 'oh yeah'
This info helped me early on, and still does today: https://whyquit.com/whyquit/linksaaddiction.html
