No looking back

[Instigator]

Been reminiscing on my quit lately as I approach the two year mark. It all starts with my final attempt to quit before I found KTC, and that started 2 years ago today. I had just finished a brutal 20 days stretch of work and had made the decision I was done with the damn skoal mint, when that stretch was over, I had almost 3 week off work, I would be all good and quit when I headed back to work and all those temptations. My wife was at friends about an hour from where I worked and we were gonna spend memorial day together just hanging out. I chewed my face off all day and at the gas station closest to those friend house I chucked an almost empty can, all my spitters and I was done, it felt good.

To be continued.

All hail luby!! Nice work buddy.

You, my fellow Oregon brother, are a quit monster! Proud to know you... Proud to quit with you!

Hey - today Luby hit 500 days nicotine free. He, like you and me, were once hopelessly lost to our addiction. Nic had been whispering in our ears for years, decades in most cases, that we had no choice. I had given up, I knew one day I'd die from my addiction and my biggest fear was how I was going to explain to my wife that I got mouth cancer when I had quit before we got married (like many of you, I didn't quit, I just hid it better). What we have learned over this past year plus is that nicotine was lying to us. We actually had a CHOICE. Luby has chosen to quit daily for 500 days, in the midst of personal struggles, a brutal work life, and constantly being around other dippers. How? He chose to. Thanks for showing me and so many others here what it means to CHOSE to be nicotine free. Today I chose to quit right alongside you. Congrat's man, you deserve it. If you're feeling adventurous this morning, how 'bout we blow up the Basterds roll call and post alongside Luby and the rest of them.

Here's to 501!

'Cheers'

Nice work Luby!! 'Cheers'

Have not written in here in a long time, I really have nothing profound to say except that I posted roll today for the 495th consecutive day, and I don't foresee tomorrow being any different. I was starting to get annoyed that I am not cured, that I have to post roll everyday, I was starting to think it sucks to be reminded every morning that I am an addict. All those negative thoughts were fleeting at best because sure it'd be easier to just be "cured" but nothing in life worth having is easy, I am just as much of an addict as I was 496 days ago, but today I have chosen to be free, I've committed to all of you that I will stick with that choice today, all damn day.

Glad you're still around luby. You being here helps countless of guys remain quit. Myself included.

I look at it a little differently. I can understand the feeling of 'I HAVE to post roll!', but I don't look at Posting Roll as a burden anymore.

It's a privilege.

Proud to be quit with you today, brother.

I choose to look at it as saying hello to my friends each morning.

Hello friends.

I agree with you all, it is a privilege to post roll and it is a privilege to have so many great friends and to be a part of such a great community. Which is kinda what I was saying in my own rambling way. Whenever I see the negatives of how I am dealing with my addiction all the positives come rushing back and destroy any little negative, whiny thoughts.
I love this place, full homo.

That is some very badass quitting! I love hearing these victories. They beat the hell out of hearing pussy cave stories! If you or anyone else needs night time contacts pm me anyone that know me well can tell you I have really messed up sleep patterns and I'm generally available!

Congrat's on 400 brother. This journey has broken you and rebuilt you into a rock solid man with balls of steel. I'm proud to quit with you every day and have a quitter like you in my corner. Well done, Luby.

I second that. What he said.

Thanks for all the support you have given me Luby. I will never forget it.

Keep on keepin on with your Steel Balls of Quitdom hanging to the ground.

That's right. I said Steel Balls of Quitdom.
