I had a big old Quit win this evening. I got my first deer in 5 years this evening. 'Remshot' Nice 6 point buck. Unfortunately he ran off into the woods 'Finger' and now I need a new front quarter panel and passenger door. 'bang head'

All ok and a little startled. First thought after getting pulled over was nicotine. Put a fake in and didn't help. Got the sheriff called and walked around some and the crave died down. One of the strongest ones this quit.

Made my promise this morning and I am keeping it.

Quit on everyone
LOl I did the same thing two weeks ago in my wife's car. That was one week after a guy ran a red light and totaled my truck! Great win man! I have realized in the last couple months that nicotine never helped any of my problems. Keep up the great work Proud to quit with you today!

Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

Day 70 Reflections

Wow I still can't believe I have made it 70 days and the countless ways my life has improved over that time. I am not tied down to nicotine and my use of smokey mountain is dropping quickly. Cravings are very controllable and my anxiety levels are dropping. For the first time in 15 years I am facing stresses head on instead of hiding behind a can. There is this very shiny thing in a little box hidden in my closet.

Definitely starting to enter the funk. My ambition is almost down to zero. Went several days posting and ghosting and was getting burned out on my quit. That changed yesterday when I started messaging a new quitter and helping him through his first couple of days quit. I still can't believe how much life it brought back into my quit and I thank the Lord I can pass on the knowledge I have learned and help someone else for freedom. If only US Smokeless could package that feeling into a tin.

We are now entering into my favorite musical time of the year. I sing in several different church choirs and I am getting all the music in for this year. I am excited that I will be able to enjoy fellowship with other members of the choir instead of sitting alone in my car getting another nicotine hit between rehearsal and the concert. It's downright scary how much influence that little can had over me.

30 days until HOF, 30 days until dropping down on one knee, 38 days until Christmas.

I am proud to quit with all of you today.
Helping the new quitters does make us feel more involved in our own quits. We should never forget where we were those first few weeks and we should always remember those people who helped us stay on the path as well. B)B

The HOF is a milestone but it is really just the first milestone. Why not do HOF 100 times? Who doesn't like 100 parties? :D

I'm proud to quit with you today my friend.
Nicely done getting reengaged Lwild. You're coming into a really fun part of the early quit (HOF month with your crew). Enjoy it by being here every day and engaged in the celebration of every +1. Well done and keep it up, it'll pay dividends when you guys get past 100.
Great stuff LWild. Good recognition on what it is to be a slave. Just those little actions of dis-engaging show the power of that
drug we battle to quit every day. Quit on, proud to post roll with you today!

Wow very powerful and strong! Helping others will definitely help you especially when you go to post and you see their name beside yours in support! It's an awesome feeling. It's great that you wanna give back what you've gotten! Also the funk comes and goes, definitely recognize it and help in intros or stay in here and maybe bypass some funks, either way my friend, damn proud to be quit with you my brother! Quit on!

Thanks for all the support. Today's confession from Igloo brought it all back into perspective. Tough love is still love and doing it alone will get me no where.

I quit with all of you today and look forward o doing it again tomorrow.

PS KingNothing- I keep hinting at a common law marriage and it isn't going over so well. I think I will have to say some vows. It scares the hell out of me but so did thinking about life without a dip. Maybe I need to keep scaring myself???
Progress is a product of action, not inaction. Keep it up!
