New and Day 1

[Scottm1682]

So today is day 126. I finally wrote my HOF speech although I am disappointed and know its half assed and I apologize for that. It's rare I ever get enough time to sit and concentrate on one thing long enough to get done. Maybe someday soon I will get inspired and edit my speech and add onto it.

[Scottm1682]

Thanks guys! You know I have this tread tagged and its supposed to let me know when someone responds, usually I find someone posted a few days later without a notification.

Glad to be quit with you guys and to have you by my side - 120 and QLF

Another plus 1 today. The battle still rages on daily. Two guys at two different times today pulled out their cans and put in a big fat dip. One guy asked if I wanted some I said no I'm over 115 days into this I am not stopping today. He asked me a question - do I ever want it... That's a tough question to answer. My first reaction is yes I want it all the time, nonstop. But then I think about the days when you know what I had a week pass and I didn't even really think about a dip. With the temptations around me at work I am getting used to that, what gets me is the battle at home. Wife was getting on me this evening about something and it just bugs me to no end... Then all I can see is little cans wishing I had a dip to drain things out... So here I am in the kitchen about to do some dishes to keep my hands busy, mouth full of coffee beans... I'm at day 117 and I quit today fighting the nic!!!

Great job on your quit scott. I'm so glad to see you made it past hof, and taking it up to the next floor.

I'ts funny you wrote this. My wife was asking me questions last night. Do you still want the poison? Do you miss it? She doesn't question me on the subject much and I'm glad she asked. It gives me a chance to explain things to her the best I can. I'm an addict, I continue to fight this addiction daily. ( bla, bla bla)...

Your not alone brother. If we post up daily and live by nafar things will continue to get easier. It's already a lot easier than when we started and everyone says it continues to improve. I'm never going back to slavery and I know you feel the same. Your friends believe they must have it to survive. They think life isn't worth living without it. We know that to be a lie from the poison. We are now experiencing a free life and know we don't have to have it to have a meaningful life. Tell your friends to keep slavery to themselves, YOU'RE DONE!!! Ask them if they want an ice cream,, you got an extra 5 bucks to get them one. Tell them you won't believe the taste of ice cream without the poison in their life. I can't believe how much better ice cream tastes. Quit with you anyday brother!!!

Way to go. 'clap'

So here I am day 100!! It feels like yesterday when I tossed an entire roll of chew into the trash can with the encouragement from you guys. It's been a long tough battle so far and every day is a new fight. Heck just yesterday I'm sitting in a meeting and the guy beside me puts in a ninja dip and tried to pass his can to me. I haven't seen this guy in about a year so he did not know I am quit. I told him no and explained my quit to him and I was not harassed for once.

So call it timing, odd, coincidental or whatever but something strange happened this morning. I used to buy my dip from one place at the same time every few days. The cashier knew my schedule better than I did because many times she had a roll on the counter waiting for me... I would think to myself wow do I need another roll already? At first I thought man talk about service then it hit me that I was pathetic, so stuck on an addiction that it was evident all around me. So back to the story lol - at first in my quit the cashier would try to get me a roll, I would decline and say no thank you I quit. After a while she said wow your serious about quitting. So here it is Day 100 and what happens this morning???? I'm next in line with my coffee yes yes I know another bad habit, and she asks me so how long have you been quit? Now I never explained this site or anything like that and a complete stranger asks that. At first I was hearing things since I am so excited about hitting the 100 day mark so I asked her what she said just to make sure I was hearing right. The second time she asked me how many days have you been without your chew. So here I am day 100 and I tell her that! She was asking how I did it and fight through it and how it felt. I told her about the site and how it's an everyday battle.

KTC Brothers thank you so much for getting me this far and here's to another +1

Scott, I am proud to have you as a June brother. You stayed the course, we all know how hard this shit is.

I will tell you 100 is bad ass enjoy your day. I think I went all over just telling random folks I was at 100.

Remember this, some of my worst days in this quit were 105 to 110. We work so hard to get to HOF, then the plus 1's keep happening, and fro a brief time you are looking for a goal. The "post hof blues" were tough for me. Keep her close, I got your back, and you know where to find me.

I QLF with you Today.

Excellent scott. Proud of you man. See you at 101..

Scott, not sure if why or if we ever really interacted on the site but something about seeing a fellow quitter make it to the hall of fame. I smiled, my eyes actually welled up and realized that this is beatable. Congratulations on YOUR work and this milestone.

Thank you for doing this and transferring a magic or unseen power to the rest of us. Every damn quitter celebrates with you in gratitude.

If we are here tomorrow lets do it again and keep winning.

85 days of quit and still kicking. Feeling good wish I had quit years ago.

You and me both brother. 25 years of pure stupidity. We're quit now,,, that's what really counts. Me and you have posted,, not really got anything more important to do. I say we stay quit today, wake up tomorrow and do the same thing. I quit with you today my friend.

Day 78. Yesterday was an eye opener for me. For a while now I have felt my quit is strong and good. I look at it as I am tough enough not to crack and give in. I can't even begin to count how many times people put a dip in right in front of me then get right in my face knowing I quit. Most of them apologize after I make a comment and they back off for a while until they forget. Yesterday though I was in a meeting where the guy beside me pulls out a can of skoal original. It has been so long since I smelled a fresh can- it actually smelled sweet and tasty. Then it hit me... It only takes one second to cave and break. The nic was trying to trick me and I won the battle yesterday. Today is a new day and I quit again today and I will not use today!

Scott, good job on 78. I'm proud of you. You should be proud. In saying that, realize that 78 is just another day. You are stronger on 78 then 77, but the poison will continue its pursuit to destroy you.

Scott learn to hate everything about the krap. The poison looks bad, tastes bad, and smells bad. It does not smell sweet. I smell death when i smell it. When i see it i see chains that cost thousands. I don't want to imagine the taste. The taste is caving. The taste is my life once again in bondage. The thought of the taste puts tears in my eyes. I quit with you.

[EFNKodiak]

That is tough. Luckily I have not been in that situation in a while, but you are right... we can always be in a position where we are 1 second from having a choice to cave. Proud to be quit with you today.
