Story of my life- late to the party.

Congrats on HOF!

Be proud and keep doing what has worked for the past 100 days. This next phase of your quit is a war against complacency. Roll call is just as important as it ever was... perhaps even more so. The nic bitch is a lioness looking over this herd of quitters, waiting for one to get distracted... waiting for one to get separated from the herd.... waiting for one to forget that they are an addict. Stay vigilant.

Proud to be quit with you,

Dale

congrats man on the HOF!! Seeing people make it to 100 is an inspiration to me. That's a long time without nicotine...I know it may not seem like a long time when compared to how long we've used, but it's a nice chunk. A great milestone!!

Hit the HOF today. Came into work early to upgrade some programs on some servers and of course ran into problems. Any other time, I would have packed my lip with government regulated poison and even though I have a headache right now, I'm so happy that I don't have to turn to snuff to get through the day.
Congrats! Ah the life of an IT slave.

Nice job Quitter!!! 'worship'

Hey guys, I had little to no phone service this weekend but managed to find enough spots to post roll. I had intentions of maybe meeting up with OBXChief but I couldn't hear as the campground I was at was like the only place around with no service. I haven't gotten to read up about tops caving, etc, and I'm sad to hear we had a fellow quitter cave a month in, that sucks for him and the group. I pretty much had quit drinking beer for a long time but when I quit dipping, alcohol seemed to creep in on me. I don't drink every day but just like this weekend while camping, I had to be alert at all times that a crave could happen. I was prepared with some fake snuff but I'm really enjoying life without dipping. I was out on the boat and a friend had a can of cope and when he brought it out of his pocket, I cringed as my body reacted and almost caused me to cramp up. I guess it was a trigger because we had a few beers and trying to do some fishing and I've always had a dip when doing both. Nothing bad happened but just wanted to make everyone is aware that everything you do can cause you to want to cave and you have to be strong and committed to quit. I told my friend sitting around that man I would love a dip but I told him there was no way because I would just be hooked again. I've vowed to myself to slow down my alcohol intake on the weekends but it's scary when we've made it this far that something like a cave could happen. My mind is racing with thoughts of snuff now, sometimes it's all I think about and this is day 40. Hopefully, those thoughts subside but I just wanted to tell everyone to stay strong with their quit and STAY QUIT!!!!!

Hey josh - welcome to the club and congratulations on your quit! I was only a 3-4 tin a week user but one thing I've come to appreciate is that it doesn't really matter how much, how often, where, or why you dipped. We are all addicts and I don't think there are different levels of being addicted. It's like a light switch, either on or off. There's a guy in Sept 11 that dipped 3 tins a day (holy shit!!!!), which as it turns out isn't that uncommon. But we both fought for our lives when we quit, and we still make the decision every damn day to stay quit. Make no mistake, Josh, just because you dipped one or two a week, this is a fight for our lives. I'm a blessed man to be free today, and it is literally one of my biggest life accomplishments. Stay on your guard, she'll whisper lies to you. Don't fall for the "one night stand" or it's close cousin the "just one". There is no such thing. Proud to share this journey with you!

Denny

Keep rounding up your group want2. You are doing a fine job of it. Good to see another person with a passion for their quit on here as well as their quit group.

Add to this thread as your quit goes on. Use it as a diary. Will be cool to read when you hit 100 days and further.

My reflection of the past 3 weeks. I went to lunch with my wife today and let her pluck a few eyebrows and an ear hair or two and it was fun for some odd reason. I guess because I wasn't looking for a can to spit in or a bottle. I never introduced myself on here or did an introduction. It really wasn't my fault that I didn't. I had just signed up for a program to quit dipping but the package was going to take 7-10 days to arrive. I thought to myself, I want to quit but I don't want to wait 7-10 days as it will just prolong my agony. I did another search and found ktc. I looked over the welcome center real quick and said what the hell, I'll just quit now and that's what I did on May 10, 2012, at 10:53 AM while sitting at work pondering my future. My wife and I have been through a lot the past 8 months, new house that I'm building, new baby, trying to finish house, plus complications from birth, etc, you name it, it has happened to us, car breaks down, the list goes on. I've been a fairly healthy person as I got some rabbit dogs (beagles) 6 years ago and lost 35 pounds. No matter how good of physical shape I got in, I always felt like shit so what the hell, I just put a dip in. I never knew that the dip was the reason I felt like shit all of the time. I never considered myself a heavy user as I usually only dipped a can or two a week, yes I said a week, not a day. I sometimes dipped in the mornings, lunch, but mainly in the evenings or when drinking. It's not a money thing for me, it's another lifestyle change for me. The past 3 weeks, my life has been so much better, now there has been the occasional quit symptoms, etc, but I've managed. Life in general just seems so much more fun and lively not being a slave to the can, I look back and I can't believe how much time I spent looking for a bottle to spit in or running to the store and miss out on something just to stick a harmful drug in my mouth but I'm past that now and I know I must continue on the path that KTC has laid out for me. I guess that's why things like watching my wife enjoy plucking hairs off my face is enjoyable now, I didn't have to tell her to stop so I could spit. That's my introduction and only about 1/100th about me but you can get the idea.
