I've hit the second floor and beyond. It's good to still be quit. There are times when I want a dip or smoke, but only when people around me are using it. I am strong, and am thankful I have supportive friends and family to continue on this recovery.

These days, my biggest challenge is not chewing on stuff. I've tried gum, but even when I chew gum I find myself chewing on the end of an ink pen or biting my fingernails at the same time.

To those who are relatively new. Keep going. It does get better. And quitting is something that, even though it may suck early, you will be very proud of in the near future. Posting your HOF Speech - IF and only IF you continue to stay quit - will be one of your highlight accomplishments.

To my May 2012 brothers, I'm still around. But I'm at a turbulent time in my life right now that's kept me from being involved as I should be. Between a promotion at my job, trying to find and move into a new place and preparing for grad school, I sometimes don't even check my Facebook or email, much less log on and participate like I used to. Just know that I am committed to posting/quitting, and I'm committed to you guys. Continue to reach out if you need anything. I'll be back in full force once things settle down.

I understand the in and out thing. Don't sweat it. Sometimes life calls and you can't always be spending all your time on KTC. Rest assured, I know you are there if I need you. Always have been, always will be. congrats on the promotion and good luck in grad school. I could give you a few thoughts on that whole subject. :wacko:

stay quit my friend.

Forever yours (non-ghey)

JR, just keep posting roll, and getting on with your dip-free life. The next time you start craving, you'll be here answering day 1 posts in the intro section, or something like that. Thats how you are. That's a win-win.

Like rangy said, dont sweat it. we know where to find you if/when we need something other than your post. Thanks for the support in the past, and thanks (in advance) for the future support. . . . now go do that "live life to the fullest" thing - that's why we quit in the first place.

I hit the hall a few days ago. New quitters - stick with this site.

Indeed. There is room for thousands more. Quit today.

Oh, and if you are ever in Charleston, SC please stop by Henry's Bar during the day and tell Edward I said hello. He's the dreamy bartender with the long flowing hair and beautiful smile. 'no'

Congrats on 100 Jonathan. You were one of the guys to welcome me 50+ days ago. Glad to see you made it.

Hit a wall today at day 71. I had heard about the 70's funk, but was sure it wasn't going to affect me.

As soon as I ate lunch today, the craving hit. I'm sitting here now, and it seems as if I'm in a fog again.

This too shall pass. It's crazy shit though...just a reminder how the nic bitch works.

Hang in there. WTF did you eat, anyways? kidding

I had a crave yesterday, first one in quite a while. Kicked it's ass and moved on.

Stay strong and keep on rolling bro. Call/text if you need to rage.

I ate a bagel --- maybe this is what actin' like a Yankee does to me.

I kid. I'm gonna walk outside and hit a few balls on the putting green...should help clear my head.

I knew there was a reason to quit with you today! You better not be a bad ass southerner who thinks he can take his truck muddling and never get stuck. Then when he gets stuck, he wont ask for help, he just keeps getting deeper in mud.

BTW not all Yankees eat bagels. Some of us put bugles in our ass and play T.A.P.S.

What the hell is wrong with me.? Just trying to get you to laugh and not think about the whore. Stay quit you Dixie loving son of a bitch!

Seriously though. I know that we can't help but have cravings. We are addicts. We can control what to do when the trigger or cravings comes.

I say the wisest man is the one that runs and lives another day. Then if a fight is coming, call your friends and intimidate the bully. Finally, if you have to fight, throw the first fucking punch and don't stop swinging until one of your buddies pulls you off or the nic bitch taps out.

Dismiss it and move on. "NOT TODAY" Today is NOT the DAY to cave.

Live and laugh often. Caving is not living or funny.

'crackup'

I needed that. Thanks for the words of encouragement, bro.

By the way...I USED to be one of those Southern boys who would go mudslinging and get stuck in a hole. Only last time...I didn't get unstuck (even though I asked for help) and instead of being stuck in a hole, it was the edge of a pond that I mistook for a mudhole. 'bang head'

By the time my buddy got his truck and chain to yank me out, water was pouring into the transfer case from up above...meaning it had filled up knee-high/past my gear shifter. The engine sucked up water, too. I still remember to this day when we finally got it out...opening up the doors and watching water pour out of it for what seemed like minutes.

I totaled a 2003 Toyota Tacoma (only 2 years old at the time) with that little stunt. Haven't been through a mudhole since.

I've since shifted to more mild activities.

This will pass ...... that nic bitch is a sneaky one!!!

I find the closer I get to 100 the more my mind plays these tricks on me, the best way I have found to combat this is to keep my mind busy on just about everything else.

I have put more time into this up comming football season and thinking up some new drills of both softball and baseball!

You are truly one helluva badass quiter so this for you is a small inconvenience and you will power thru greatly on the other side!!!

Stay Strong stay Focused and most of all stay QUIT!!!!

More crazy, off the wall, fucking incomprehensible, goddamned inconceivable CAVE DREAMS.

Almost every night. This too, shall pass. It just kind of freaks me the fuck out. I know exactly what it would feel like to cave, which is why I NEVER plan on doing it.

Dude your fighting the bitch beating her ass and she doesnt like it!


I say keep kicking that ass and fighting every battle with the same intensity!!!

Quit on quiter!
