Hello all. I am still quit! So fucking quit, I missed my one year by almost 100 days!!! A very close friend is talking about quitting and I have challenged him to so it tonight. As soon as I know his screen me, I'll post it. I mentioned KTC to him while I was still working on my first 100 days. He saw my progress and he wants in. I know you all who read this will give him 110% support.

Glad to see you back brother.

Rest In Peace Tony Gwynn. Tony Gwynn died today from oral cancer.
This is why we are here.

This is an important reminder/update. Thank you for posting. We all need to notice these things. Reminds me that I have to post every day for a long time, as insurance for this chance at having my life back.

It's very sad to hear of Tony Gwynn's passing. I remember watching him play ball as I was growing up. Using and quitting tobacco is a life or death choice. I am proud to be quit with both of you guys. RIP Tony Gwynn.

Just wanted to drop in on day 366! More than one year. I know that I have not been active here since my 200 days... but, just wanted to let everyone know that I am solidly quit at 1-year. Thanks to everyone who helped me through this.

Told my wife last night that I still remember the 2 months of my life that were shit during the fog. NEVER AGAIN!!!

Lovin' life after 1 year.

Congrats! 366 is awesome, especially for a Jayhawk. This is my 100th day. Why don't you come post roll with me for a while.

Way to be and thanks for the post! Your "through the fog" support was critical for me.

I am still quit.  Here we are at 295.  Life is still awesome and getting better every day.  Went on my annual fishing trip Thursday - Sunday this past week.  When I say everyone dips, I mean everyone - except me.  I have paused in my quits in years past only to pick up the habit again during this annual camp.  As I was driving to fishing camp, W2W sent me a simple text to see how I was doing.  Little did he know, I had his numbers ready to go, along with KC_Guy just in case I needed some back up during fishing camp.  I called W2W and left him a message letting him know I was solid.  All was well.  Thanks for looking in W2W.

I am amazed at the transformation I have made since finding KTC.  I quit almost 300 days ago and the first month sucked.  I wasn't nervous at all about this trip.  I didn't have any craves at all.  It was, AWESOME.  I felt nothing about dip, or nic at all.  NOTHING.  I guarantee that the reason I was so confident was because I had the tools right at my fingertips if I needed them - KTC and all my quit bros.

I watched these guys at fishing camp from time to time dip, spit, run out for more, etc.  All I thought was, what a waste of time and money.  Here we are fishing and you have to stop what you are doing to go get dip...  That is stupid.  I myself didn't need it nor want it.  And I had an awesome time. 

Once or twice I thought about W2W and all the support he has given me and how this place has really helped me get to where I am.  I can't even say that I didn't want to ruin the work so far because I just didn't want any dip.  Sounds weird and hope you understand what I mean.  I appreciate all of the support.  It was that support that got me to where I am now.  I guess what I mean is that I know it is there if I need it.  And for now, that is enough.  I know that part of what drives some folks is that they can't imagine telling their supporters they caved.  Me either, but more deeply - I just don't have any craves for it.  I barely noticed it.  So, I just didn't think about it.  W2W and some others were right at my fingertips ready to be dialed up if I needed.  I'm glad I didn't have to call!

So anyway, if there is a nugget in this rant that anyone will read - and I hope the new guys can trust and appreciate this:  At almost 300 days, your life will be much better.  The suck goes away and life returns to some level of normal.  I still understand and agree that you need to be vigilant every day going forward.  I believe that.  So, watch your back.  Use the tools you have here.  One day, you will be standing where I am and you will say I know how to deal with this. 

Anyway - here I am staring at 300 days.  One of the biggest triggers of my past came and went with zero fanfare.  With the help of KTC and my supporters, I have the tools to deal with that trigger.  I know I do because I just did it.

Keep quitting everyone.  Quit one day at a time and use those tools.  I can prove to you it works.

Late,

Great post jayhawk. What seemed impossible is not only possible, but better than imagined. Glad you had a good trip! The view from the third floor is pretty sweet.

Jayhawk! You came, you saw, you conquered. You are a quit bad ass. I wouldn't be surprised if one of your fishing buddies doesn't follow your lead and quit as well. You set the example. Quitting is not impossible. It can be done. One day at a time like you are doing bro.

Thank you for posting this victory story. Proud to be quit with you.

Let the Madness of March begin. Rock Chalk Quitters.
