I am still alive :)

Ready, In the name of my past habit. I used to chew tobacco, now I have mint and gums.
Cmay, lucky you are. I feel guilty for past 6 years I wasted down in the gutter. Some of my friends show off their sports cars, boast about MNC jobs and 6-7 figure salary packages. I feel guilty because I was better scorer than them in highschools.I'm the lazy bast*rd who hasn't yet completed graduation.
I keep telling myself " I am a different person NOW. " But why this has to be f*cking me ?

Chewie87 -

You need to post roll in your Oct. Quit group - Go to the Welcome page and get directions.

Damn! You know, you are so right. I haven't felt this good about myself in a very long time. I don't hide anything anymore, no guilty feelings hounding me day and night.

Do I want to feel like that again? Fuck No! I am staying quit!

Thanks for warm welcome. I am not going to dip again though! Its day 9. I'm going to college. Hope everything goes fine.
PS - My life is a sewer.

I'm fairly new here, but congrats on day 9 - you need to go over to the October 2010 PreHOF group and post roll - let me know if you need to know how to do it.

I want that last sentence on a t-shirt:

"P.S. - My life is a sewer."

That is awesome.

Hello everyone. I've been visiting the forum for last few days. So I just decided to stop in and introduce myself. I'm Jay, 22 year old from India. I started smokeless 6 years back. Later I got addicted to alcohol and smoking. I even used to abuse sleeping pills and cough and cold syrups ( stopped it 2 years back ). The only thing I did not try is drugs. It all started in college when some seniors told me that spitting brown on the roads makes you feel macho (??). I am not blaming them, I am more responsible for what I'm today.
Well its my 8th day without smokeless today. Now I know - I can live without tobacco. First day was hardest of all. My cheeks and tongue had sores. ( I quit smokeless now I have symptoms of cancer ??) But it disappeared on the third day. There are some triggers when it craves like hell - after tea, evenings and while working / studying late nights. Chewing gum seems to be the best alternative for smokeless.
This is tougher than I thought but I won't let anyone get behind the wheel  take control of my life.

Chewie87,

Congratulations on the quit of more than 3 years, ESPECIALLY if you were able to do it on your own. If true, you have a friggin cast-iron will.
But if you've not been active on the site, I don't understand why you're logging in now? You could have sent the url to the site to your buddy and told him...this is very curious....

Again, congrats, appears you have your addiction under control.

This was my point also. Don't get all butthurt about the questions cause I'm sure a shitstorm is coming.

And yes,3+ years is awesome

Yes, shit storm is coming. And I can understand, naturally people are gonna doubt it.
Someone registers in 2010. After four years he shows up again, telling he's 3+ years nicotine free (with just four posts to his credit).
I did not return here to get into Hall of Fame!

I am a bit emotional here...
Lost my mom and dad at 13, got addicted to crap. Wasted childhood and youth.
And today when I was telling my friend to quit smoking, I remembered where I was 4-5 years ago.

Good for you. Glad to be quit with you today and EDD. No letting that guard down now, you've come too far to start feeling the way us noobs are now.

Thanks for sharing.

Why are the admins still allowing this troll to have an intro?
