Now THAT was a fucking intro. Welcome.

You're gonna be having some extreme headaches soon. Excedrin for Migraine helped me big time.
thanks man. i will keep that on hand. Looks like you are getting close to your 100 days! Have your cravings subsided totally by now? Is this really going to be a life long commitment for us all? Is it not possible to quit and forget about it all - or is it an addiction that will never leave us? It blows my mind to see some people on here that quit like 1500 days ago and they are still posting roll and active in the forum. God bless them!!!! It's insane!
Nice intro dude. Love it. I will quit with you any day.

You know what's crazy about the forever thing? The guys I've seen on here who were quit for years and had one slip up, and went right back to their old habit. Read around on the site enough, and you'll find them. I can't remember the name, but I saw one a couple days ago that blew a 6 year quit. Nuts. No, the Nic Bitch will never leave us alone.

Jon. We have a lot in common. I live in Florida, dipped for over 20 years and I am deeply involved in electrical contracting, engineering, and teaching. I quit 148 days ago and it has not been easy. I dipped over 2 cans a day and finally had enough of the wasted money and killing myself. You can do this. PM me if you need a number to text with.
Florida Longhorn - thank you! It seems we do have a lot in common. I am at work now about to head into the lab. One of our techs dips all day long, even though it's against the rules, and nobody really cares... I'm a little anxious about the smell of it, but i have to face it. Half my life is in a lab filled with dippers and smokers. boot straps on!

BTW - congrats on being quit for 148 days! That is definitely quite an amazing achievement!
I am around it all the time as well. I was teaching a group of 10 electricians this weekend and 4 of them had a dip in all day. It gets easier with time because it is a disgusting habit. The more time you are quit the nastier the smell will be to you. Hang in there. It takes time but it does get easier.
Got your PM - thank you for the digits. I have you and gooch in my phone now and will fire off if needed tonight. I am so happy Raider told me to dump the cans in the toilet... i have nothign to cheat with at home tonight. no cigars, nothing... i feel safe about it. its just going to suck. ill probably get mad - - probably run a few miles just out of anger. love this determination inside tho - like a raging fire... this forum is amazing. it's saving lives...

Did I figure out how to post roll yet? That's a big deal around here and how u will earn respect. It's making that promise to yourself and to others that u will be nic free.
U not I...
