Great thread--- and CONGRATS on 2000 days- double comma! Humor, leadership, and no vitreolic rants, just hard quitting. Thanks! Newbies give it a read for some laughs, learning, inspiration, and a break from all the gorilla chest thumping in these halls lately.
Well Done Sir!!!

Five Years

Who the hell is going to listen to me? Five years is an eternity for any guy who is trying to notch his first five *hours* without nicotine. And let's face it: There are a lot more dudes here right now with five hours under their belt. Or five days, or five weeks. And it ain't easy for them.

To those guys, I'm like the chupacabra: mean and nasty and very very cool and probably not real.

Five years? On March 24, 2009, I couldn't picture being dip-less for five years. It was laughable. I was surely not going to make it. I wasn't committed, and I knew it, but I was going through the motions to "quit" anyway.

Then I stumbled onto KTC. I went into chat. Someone asked me, "Are you quit?"

My answer was something like "That depends." As far as I knew, it DID depend. I was "quit" for what...two days? That wasn't quit. Was it?

About fourteen dudes in chat proceeded to run a train on me, spewing vicious hatred and judgment, telling me to fuck myself and whatnot if I dared have a cheek full of dip while in chat.

I liked that.

Yes, goddamn it, I was QUIT.

For the first time, that word meant something to me. I wasn't "trying" to quit. Or trying to "be" quit. I was just fucking quit. Noun, verb, adjective, adverb quit. This is my quit. I quit. That's a quit look you have on your face. I'm quitly shitting.

It's all I was for many months. Just quit. I didn't have the strength to do or be more.

I got stronger, though. And then months became years. And here I am. A GOD. Just like you.

Because you're quit.
That's cool. Thanks for sharing.
Hope those with the 5 hours/days/weeks even pay attention to your post Dean. Hope they look and feel what emotion is felt after 5 years of freedom. Hope they realize this as an example of what can be accomplished when someone sticks around.

well done my friend.
Congrats on the five years and thanks for letting your knowledge and experience trickle down to the rest of us.
Nice.
Thanks and congrats!
This is good stuff.
Congrats on 5 yrs... Great stuff.
'BanDog'
Good shit! thanks for the motivation!
Congrats and thanks! It means a lot to hear from you.
Congrats on 5 years. I will never forget in my early quit when I was holding on by a thread, you pm'd me and told me to post roll. If I didn't you were gonna squat over me and drop a deuce. You can't BUY that kind of encouragement. LOL.
Dean, you know I am a fan, every few months i make sure to bring your thread up, so the newbs can learn how to quit while laughing so hard you cant take a breath. On shit days I would read your thread, feel your pain and relate. Thanks for being a epic quitter. Thanks for inspiring me and making me want those plus one's.

Now if i can just get my next door neighbor to dream of my golden showers.

I quit with you.
LMAO! I just spent over an hour reading your Intro thread. Lots of wisdom  entertainment in there!

Congrats on 5 yrs!
Congrats on 5 years! Quit with you today!
5 years!!!!! Congrats
Well done 'oh yeah'

I'm grateful for all the support and for all the eyeballs that land on the things I write. Thanks for the congrats...I won't let anyone down.


FYI, The family and I moved in late 2009. We're way, way out in the sticks now, and there aren't many neighbors. No one to see me whizzing off my front stoop.

So instead, I walk out into the woods a few mornings during the week and show my hard-on to the wildlife. The bobcat have a special scream when they see it.

Five Years

Who the hell is going to listen to me? Five years is an eternity for any guy who is trying to notch his first five *hours* without nicotine. And let's face it: There are a lot more dudes here right now with five hours under their belt. Or five days, or five weeks. And it ain't easy for them.

To those guys, I'm like the chupacabra: mean and nasty and very very cool and probably not real.

Five years? On March 24, 2009, I couldn't picture being dip-less for five years. It was laughable. I was surely not going to make it. I wasn't committed, and I knew it, but I was going through the motions to "quit" anyway.

Then I stumbled onto KTC. I went into chat. Someone asked me, "Are you quit?"

My answer was something like "That depends." As far as I knew, it DID depend. I was "quit" for what...two days? That wasn't quit. Was it?

About fourteen dudes in chat proceeded to run a train on me, spewing vicious hatred and judgment, telling me to fuck myself and whatnot if I dared have a cheek full of dip while in chat.

I liked that.

Yes, goddamn it, I was QUIT.

For the first time, that word meant something to me. I wasn't "trying" to quit. Or trying to "be" quit. I was just fucking quit. Noun, verb, adjective, adverb quit. This is my quit. I quit. That's a quit look you have on your face. I'm quitly shitting.

It's all I was for many months. Just quit. I didn't have the strength to do or be more.

I got stronger, though. And then months became years. And here I am. A GOD. Just like you.

Because you're quit.
That's cool. Thanks for sharing.
Hope those with the 5 hours/days/weeks even pay attention to your post Dean. Hope they look and feel what emotion is felt after 5 years of freedom. Hope they realize this as an example of what can be accomplished when someone sticks around.

well done my friend.
Congrats on the five years and thanks for letting your knowledge and experience trickle down to the rest of us.
Nice.
Thanks and congrats!
This is good stuff.
Congrats on 5 yrs... Great stuff.
