Congratulations on the year of quit my friend. I have been honored to share this last year with you and look forward to many more to come. Thanks for helping keep my quit on solid ground.
Here's to you, Preacher! 'Cheers'

Today is 304. I haven't added anything here as a documentary on my quit in a while. Here's my thought of the day.

This community has saved my life. I have a friend, practically a brother that quit dipping in March, just after my 2/7/14 quit date. His name is Clint. Clint and I grew up in the same town, played tee ball thru hs ball together. We were college roommates. He was dipping as long as I was and almost as often. He is stoked to be quit. 

When I went on the bachelor party in May around day 95 of my quit, he was hammered with me. He found someone smoking a cigarette and bummed one. I texted Krusty who talked me off the cave ledge. The next day I asked him about it and his response was "prolly shouldn't have done it, but at least it wasn't dip." I gave him a hard time but had to realize that without the education of this site, he didn't know any better.

Yesterday, I met Clint and 6 of our friends at the mall for an annual drunken Christmas shopping trip. After spending way too much money and drinking way too much beer they planned their next stop. Clint immediately asked the waitress where the closest tobacco shop was. He went to painstaking efforts to convince everyone that the day needed to be consummated with a cigar. I was leaving the group any way to get home to my wife and kid so I didn't have to deal with his dumbass smoking a hog dick in front of me.

Without this site, I would have the same mind set. I would have gone with them to smoke a cigar. I wouldn't feel like I caved bc it isn't dip. I would then find more and more reasons to smoke a cigar. That occasional cigar would be enough to make be think I could have a pinch every once in a while. It would allow me to maintain a romanticized view of tobacco. Clint will be finger banging a can within 6 months. I hope I'm wrong, but I've seen 3 stoppages of at least 3 months end for Clint. I'm thankful for this place. I'm thankful for each and every one of you. I'm thankful for the truth I've found here. I'm thankful for the strength, accountability, brotherhood and relationships I've gained here
Thanks for sharing, Preacher. I'm thankful to quit with you.
Ditto bro. We were both dumbasses for way too long. Congrats on 3rd floor!
Good stuff rtpope! Glad you share this! Quit on.

Sounds like Clint needs a certain quit site link shared with him. Stay after him, but don't get discouraged. He'll only do it when he's good and ready, as we all know.
Nice 304! We can never have just 1. Ever! That means anything with nicotine. That is the road to nowhere. Nice job holding the line with your friends. Proud to be quit with you all day!
Good stuff pope. It feels good to be clean. We can't save the world.
