First glad you are still quit hope you stay that way yep I said hope but you wont get it you weren't here long enough to know what that means. 

Second maybe your name is crossed off the list because you have 97 total posts, 21 were in your own thread.  so that brings you down to roughly 76 posts to roll when you have been quit 169 days which is roughly a 44% for posting.

Third that means you really didn't listen or learn a damn thing about what this place is about.  We pay it forward and backward we give and we take.  If we all just took then we would be just like the bad relationship we all left where she took and left us hollow.
Wow. I would say thanks but damn. Maybe you have missed the part where I have said before I don't have access to internet very often. I live in a place like no other. I don't have the luxuries that most have. I don't have cell service at my house hardly, none at work and barely any in between. I constantly go to the middle of no where and enjoy being free of nicotine more than most and in an area more free than most of you all can imagine.

I have done my best to give back to others as well. Obviously in your eyes my best isn't good enough. Glad your obscurred opinion really doesn't matter. You sure can show off some good math skills there though.

I'm quit and will stay quit. I was just texting someone about how I don't even think about chew hardly ever. But when I get on here and post I start thinking about it since now I am referencing it in one way or another. We each need to take care of quitting in our own way.

Been gone a while. Just spen 2 weeks hunting for moose, caribou, and grizzlies. First time in a long time with no chew or nicotine of any kind. It was truly amazing. Never craved it and never thought about it except for when I took a pic of my coin. Then the thought was gone. It was truly enjoyable to not have to be dependant on the worm dirt while I was out there.
That is one nasty looking mouth my friend!!! Hell of an avitar.....

One of the reason's I love being in AK. A very supportive family and water falls mile from civilization. Ones that don't have a well established short walking path. Ones that took us all day to do get to but always worth it.

Well I've tried linking the picture but it's just not working. So here is a link to the pic itself.

thanks to all those that PM me or text me to keep me on track. I'm definitely still quit. I'm trying my best to post roll. I think I've made it three days in a row now. Maybe only two. Either way I'm still quit and that's what matters.

A heads up that starting tomorrow I'm gone into the last frontier of AK and will not have internet or even cell service for a week. Man I love where I live. I will greatly enjoy myself and stay quit. These trips are awesome as there is no way to cave, not that it matters since I'm done with the toxic waste that is nicotine.

So I'll post up in a week. If I manage to get back around cell service I'll text someone to let you know a bear hasn't eaten me. When I get back I'll post some pics of the things that keep me in AK.

Again thanks guys. I would like to be on here more but it's just doesn't work out that way. There will be days when I have some time I can hang on here a bit but now that spring is finally arrived up here my time on a computer is very limited. One thing my wife and I were talking about was what I'd say to everyone on here if I had caved. I told her I wasn't doing this for you all but for myself so it didn't matter to anyone but me. Then I thought how I'd feel like such a shit bag for dragging you all along with me on a false journey. I couldn't do that to you guys after you have stood by me in my quit. What a better place our world could be without the nic bitch.

Stay Quit and enjoy the outdoors everyone.

Managed once to get around internet while I was gone. I'm back in civilization now for atleast several days. I'm in AK and well where I live isn't like the lower 48 states. It doesn't take much to hit a point of being off the grid completely. I'll be headed out saturday on a trip and wont have phone or anything majority of the day. This happens a lot during the summer. We don't get much of a summer so we have to go enjoy as much of it as we can.

Bottom line is I'm still quit. I got through my inbox. It really does mean a lot to know there are people who care and will support me even though they don't know me. I have those numbers. I'm going to do my best to roll posted. Sometimes I just have to make it a point to get around a computer as many days I don't even see one. If I have a real snag I'll text.

Now a little update to me quitting. This weekend was my first real trip since I quit. I thought this would be real test as these trips I used to go through a lot of cope. Suprisingly It wasn't terrible. It does help that I have family and good friends with me supporting me and not nagging me anymore. I did use some of the smokey mountain stuff which honestly just helped with the oral fixation part. My cravings have gone down pretty far. It's the not having something in that spot part that sucks. But I have that under control, just might have to switch to sugarless candy as I'm big enough already. :) I'm at the point I was when I quit smoking. I just can't see myself going back to it. I'm also aware I can't let my gaurd down.

I found out that after my stepmom told my dad I was quitting he decided to quit too. He isn't far behind me time wise. I told him about this site but my dad is not an internet person especially forums. I talk to him about three times a week. It's a big help knowing that he is doing this with me. Since a big part of why I started is because of him. Yes I know I'm responsible for my own actions but I was influenced at a young age.

Well enough of all that. I must get back to work.

Stay Quit everyone.
Good to hear from you hillbille. Don't hear much from you, and I sure am glad you've stayed the course. I quit with you in your journeys my friend. Remember,, no matter where your travels take you the nic bitch is always lurking. It is apparent that you are holding your quit close and I'm glad to be quit with you.

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.

Nice work Alaska Hill William! Sounds like you've got it all under control. Glad to be quit with you, as always.

FUCK YEAH!!! I'm pumped to see you here...and STILL QUIT!!! Where are you going that you're "off the grid?" Mobilehoma? Or somewhere else in the Barefoot Belt? HAHA...just kidding. We have plenty of barefoot people in FW, TX too.

I don't really care about the location, just as long as it doesn't include the Nic Bitch. Post roll, call and get someone to do it for you, whatever you have to do...just stay quit, brother!!!

Thanks guys. I haven't even got to check the PM box yet. Just got on my phone. I'll be off the grid for the next three days. That's no phone either. It's that time of year for me. I'm gone and out a lot. Well I have 6hrs of driving ahead of me.

Wait, what...? But I thought... But you said... Thank you...? What the hell is going on? Why am I so confused?!?! Is this the "fog" everyone keeps talking about...? I see stars... and Auntie Em... Anyway, I suppose we probably shouldn't be hijacking AK's intro, but I haven't heard shit from him lately and was just wondering if he's still refraining from packing his mouth with giraffe excrement.
