Day 20 done, quitters. I quit eating Sriracha Pringles and don't want Smokey Mountain all the time now. I still keep it around for the bad craves. Feeling stronger every day. I've been telling friends about quitting and it feels great. I thought I'd be embarrassed to tell them I used smokeless. But, now they now and can hold me accountable. I won't let my friends down or any of the BAQs on this site.

Been watching your quit bro. Nice work. I can tell your really wanting this. Enjoy the good days. I usually say prepare for the bad, but it's clear you're taking this seriously and your in it to win it. Quit with you today.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

I've been fat longer then I have dipped, so even if I gain weight it's not a major deal. Atkins if fun for the first month anyway, and if I am going to get my fat ass on roller coasters in June I need to drop 20 in a flash.

Made 14 days.  I feel strong today. Over the last few days...

Day 9 began cravings for comfort food.  I bought a meatloaf and pizza at Vons and planned to eat both.  Stopped short. Bought 6 cans of Pringles.

Day 10 had bad nic cravings. After sticking my tongue in my lip all morning I went to Walmart and bought some Smokey Mountain.  It helped get me through the crave.  I thought about how stupid jamming sugared corn silk in my lip was. But not as dumb as cancer causing tobacco and fiberglass.

Day 11 was encouraged when getting texts from BAQs (bad ass quitters).  Yem, Emulator, Bronco, Smokey, ... And kudos for the chat room BAQs, kdip, Knockout, Raider, Braves, BuckNuts, ... too many to name.  Proud to be quitting with you.

Day 12-13 staying strong. Thought about using Kodiak for around 7300 days. No wonder why I still reach for the can after 12 days.  It may take time to reprogram the brain about triggers.

Day 14 Feel strong. Stayed quit again today.  I'd like to be quit for 7300 days but I can only quit today.

 stay busy, use the tools, one day at a time, none yesterday, none today
Dude, I've been eating like a race horse (day 10)

That's all I friggen do now is eat. Told the Ms. to restrict buying sweets and bad-4-u snacks because anything in the house I will devour in the first day.. She loaded up the cart with good stuff that I can obsess on.. like grapes, pita chips with hummus..

Before I quit I hardly ever ate lunch while at work (guess what I was doing during my lunch??? I'll give you one friggen guess). Now I'm spending more money on lunches than I was on dip, but I'd pay TRIPLE or QUAD that to be QUIT.

I'm quit and hungry with you Z

One of my previous stops had me gain some weight as well. The NB whispered to me that Heart Disease was worse than cancer and I bought it. Don't let her fool ya like she did me.

Z and Wolf, I am on day 9, and gonna add the Paleo/Atkins type diet to the quit, since I am stuffing food down my chute like crazy. Might as well lose some weight while I quit.

Gratz on the quit, I have a trigger spot as well, it's after I drop the kids off at school, I reach into the "the chew hatch" in the mini-van, which has been empty for 40+ days!

Day 8, just fine. Got a 2 hour trail run in first thing. I used to look forward to getting back tot the car to ... Thought about the trigger and decided I'd rather look forward to that big yellow grapefruit in the fridge. Good f'in grapefruit.

Drinking lots of water helps keep the 'foggy' away. I think I've taken in a full gallon already today.

I appreciate my new friends who text me. It keeps me motivated and keeps me strong to smack down any craves. I will stay quit today. You do the same, please. If anyone wants to trade #s, please PM. Happy to have more friends quitting together. You will get added to my phone book as username BAQ (bad ass quitter).

Made it through day 6.  On the Chat room earlier I said I felt cocky today because I had 0 craving.  I did think "why am I on the site if it's this easy?".  But not really.  I've quit too many times to know some days are easier than others.  Glad I had a diamond today but there will be stones.

My mouth is feeling swollen tonight.  I think I read about that. But, had a good check up at dentist today.

Bring on day 7.  Did not use yesterday, did not use today, will not use tomorrow.  (in case the board is down)

Need to get some miles in tomorrow. Off to bed.
Feeling cocky, tomorrow, quit to many times. These statements worry me, just a little. Trouble maneuvering the site and getting pissed at people is not a problem. You'll get past all that with time. After a few bad days hopefully you'll get a little humility.

I beg to differ, you've never quit or you wouldn't be here. (Just semantics) but all those failures were just that).
Z, I only give you a bad time to strengthen your resolve. I've witnessed far to many failed attempts over the past and want to see you succeed. Quitting isn't a game of chance or luck, it takes a steeled determination. The first time you miss roll and give an excuse (any excuse) is the beginning of another failed attempt.
First time he misses roll I'm all over him like a fly on shit. Then we send CMark to find him. They both like the CA sun.
Sometime you people scare me...... lol 'zombie' 'zombie' 'zombie'
Zquitter, I quit with you today, and I have never figured out why they curse so fucking much I never cursed my whole fucking life until I quit. Im getting better at not cussing again..FU by the way and stay true to the brotherhood of quit..
We are going to need a anti swearing group. I agree I have sworn more on here but sometimes it helps. Glad to be quit with all you little angels.
Damn fucking shit pissing mother-fucking assholes QLF! Sorry, could not resist where this thread was headed. Zquit - use the good days to remind you during the tough times it does get better. Guard your quit this weekend. Important to avoid some triggers early on. Good chatting with you the other day. Quit like fuck, fuckers!

Day 7 - still quit. Still feel strong. It helps that I have so many people who want to help me.

Was supposed to have day off but went to work this morning. When leaving at lunch I reached under the car seat for the can. Strange how my brain is so programmed to reach for the can. (There was nothing there.)

Thinking about how I want be done with day 8 and 9 right now. But I can only quit day 7 today.

Had a clean report at dentist yesterday. I sometimes wonder if my body could tolerate 7300 days of Kodiak and I dipped 7301. That would suck.

Thanks for reading, brothers. Some replies feel harsh, but I appreciate all input. Still learning.

BTW... C Mark told me to come to this site. He saw me spitting at the polls after last election. I hope to have lunch with him one day as a quitter.
Nice job on your FIRST week. I quit 133 days ago and I still catch myself patting my shorts for that Damn can. Cmark is a great quitter. Meet up with him. Your quit will grow exponentially stronger putting a face to a name. Make him take you fishing!
