Went to the dentist today (day 181) a regular visit. The dentist, the hygienists, and all the assistants know me as a can a day tobacco chewer since before I came to WI and had my first appointment there 20 years ago.

So I hop in the chair for the cleaning. The hygienist asks what's new with my teeth, and I told her I quit the tobacco. She asked how I quit, I told her cold turkey on KTC. She clicked the "not a tobacco user" button on her computer, smiled, and grabbed the usual cleaning tools. Then she surveyed my mouth. "Wow! Dr. Tim check this out!" So the dentist came over for a look in my mouth. "Amazing! What did you do?" (My mouth is full of dental mirrors  whatnot, so the hygienist answered for me) "he quit dipping. See how the corrugation and white surface have healed and disappeared?" Dr. Tim "yes, that is a very healthy mouth. Congratulations on quitting!"

I then spent the next 15 minutes as exhibit 1 for the wonders of quit as the rest of the staff got a tour of my mouth. That's right, a bunch of young women ogling my formerly tobacco filled mouth.

That is a nice little victory. (Cross-posted in the ATeam forum)
That story is awesome my friend. ^_^

Thank you so much for helping me out during my first few weeks and beyond here. Looks like the 2nd floor is coming up soon... 'lift'
An awesome story No more. This gives me all the confidence in the world that these +1s are getting me somewhere. Thanks!

Hello NoMore and congrats on your HOF.

I like your reminder to your self that this is much better than dipping. I would take the brotherhood and accountability of dipping any day of the week.

Heres to it getting better and our days being brighter!!! Cheers!

Just over a month past HOF and physically I feel amazing. At least a decade younger. Mentally some ups and downs, but this too shall pass. I still have mint fake around somewhere, I don't reach for it or use it anymore, but knowing I have it helps me laugh off the craves.

Kinda slow in the group these days, but if I look elsewhere I can see my A Team brothers helping other quit groups. Helping newer quitters in intros or chat keeps me focused as well.

This is a reminder to myself that quit is much better than dipping, brotherhood and accountability continue past the HOF, and no matter the days stacked up it gets better.

Not often, but once in a while, a quitter joins this place and just gets it. You are one of the new leaders here, and just wanted to take a minute to thank you for your contributions on the intros. Thanks for all that you do.

The help and encouragement from each of you made it easier. On the 200 ... right now I'm happy to see the rest of the A-Team make the hall, and then enjoy the September dojo on their 100s. Enough +1s the numbers get bigger. For now it's post EDD, quit ODAAT, and pass the help you gave me forward. Thanks again!

Day 79. 3 weeks to the hall, but enjoying the first of the A-Team reaching the hall. Complacency is the big enemy right now. Few craves, but I still catch myself reaching for the tin that isn't there -- kinda on autopilot. Otherwise I do feel good, mouth feels good, bp is lower, etc. 3 weeks might as well be 3 years, but ODAAT and it will sneak up on me.

Day 64. Still on cruise control, sleep a bit off last week. Easing off the fake -- just don't get the oral craves as much. In a couple weeks, the A Team will start hitting the hall. I look forward to that distraction / celebration to strengthen my quit.
