Day 404

I was going to post last week here. It was a very stressful week. It started on Friday my daughter was in a pretty bad accident. she hit someone that pulled out in front of her. Both her and the other driver went to the hospital and both are OK.  Still when that call comes it is scary. I was in the Fire service for 25 years and I know what the outcome could have been. So after you get past everyone is OK then you must deal with how to move everyone around to where they need to be without a 3rd driver.

Then dealing with the insurance company. I know they have procedures but one tells you there will be a settlement on a certain day and it does not come. Needless to say it was frustrating dealing with all of that.

Mid week we lost a close family friend. He was a great man and had touched many lives in his years. He served the nation in the Navy then he served this town as a police officer and he and his wife ran a daycare center that touched thousands of children in this community. You talk about a hero he was one of those guys. If anyone needed help he was there he was an awful carpenter and knew it but when I built on he came out just to help hold or move board so that I didn't have to. He was a life long smoker he quit about 10 years ago but it was not soon enough he has had health issues for the past 8 or nine years. 5 years ago they told him you will only have 6 months to live. He accepted his fate and the only thing he wanted to do was go to Hawaii and see the Arizona before he died. My parents took them over there and he just stood there and cried that was all he wanted was to pay his respects to his fallen brothers. He lived through the first time he had to live then he got Mersa the doctors said he will not be able to fight it off as well as the cancer. Wrong again 2 years ago he got pneumonia the doctors braced the family again not to be. He had battled pneumonia again this past winter and won again. He was getting frail the hero was running out of fight he went to the hospital on Sunday and went home on Wednesday. He supported me in my quit he told me he wished he had quit along time ago.

Trust me this week could have been different it would have been easy for me to say just one won't hurt. I dipped for 38 year when the stress piled up so did the empty cans. I have learned I can deal with things without it. Do I still think about it? Yes if I didn't would I still be here? Who knows.

I have used my intro as a sounding board. It is part of my quit read it if you want ignore it if you want just stay quit.

Thank a Vet today because of them we have the freedom to have a site like this.
To all our Hero's THANK YOU!

Day 373

What a difference 24hrs makes. Today no craves at all never even a thought. There is no easy way to do this 1 day at a time. I quit today and will quit tomorrow with all of you. Thanks for the support you gave me yesterday. If you are new take note day 1 or 372 you must deal with the crave the same way. Fight through it as Ready says "Caving is not an option do something else."
I come here to vent you must find your "something else" also it may be venting here or whatever. But do find something else to do.

Stay Quit!!

Day 372
Today sucked! I wanted to take a dip today 'bang head'   I was craving it I could taste it I wanted it bad. I made my promise this morning I did not do the unthinkable. However to be honest even while I am writing this I am still thinking about a can of Skoal.

Damn that crap is hard to give up even after a year I can't believe it!

Thanks for your support guys!!! I could not let you down today just the thought of you all here helped me get through the day.

THANKS!!!
Stay Quit!!
Are you serious? I'm on day three. I strive to be where you are and you want a frickin' DIP!!?? Have you lost your mind??

What, you want to push that cancer mush back in your face when I'm still trying to free its grasp for a third g-- d--- day!?

Go back to the pictures and see that dude that has his face sliced open. Stare at that bare jaw bone. That's what me sign up here and I think about it every time I hear the friggin word 'Skoal'.
Instigator, Mark is a fine quitter.

However, being quit for a year does not magically make him immune to craves.

Do you understand what separates Mark from the other caving vagins around here?

First and foremost, he is a man of his WORD. Secondly, he has a PLAN for days like today, and he is smart enough to USE HIS PLAN.

I'm guessing that part of Mark's plan to keep quit involves reflecting on the brotherhood and bonds he has formed here at KTC.

Are you starting to understand why Mark isn't what you are implying him to be? He is actually a great example of how you stay the fuck quit.

Thank you Mark, for being a fine example for all of us to follow. Stay strong brother, you know the craves will pass. You know a cave would not be worth it.

Instigator, grab your nuts and hang on. Addiction is fucked up, and it's the real deal. You will not be "cured" after some amount of days. You need to get over that concept. Just worry about today, and don't look ahead. Great job on being quit for 3 days, that is huge! Stay strong, and reach out if you need to.
Instigator congrats on your 3 days. Trust me I have seen those pictures I dipped for 38 years I am still not out of the woods yet. One year does not mean you walk away and forget it forever. I am addicted to nicotine and always will be. The only thing that separates me from going back is 1 dip. That's right 1 freekin dip so I come in here and sound off. If you read this whole thread you will see my whole quit outlined. Read me speech it is on my signature line. This crap has hurt me and my family so if me spilling my guts helped you stay quit for even 5 minutes it was worth it.

This is my sounding board it is part of my quit. These guys here have helped me for the past year. Yea today sucked out of the blue I craved the crap. I would not have used there is a big difference between craving and Caving! I commend you on your quit Thank LA for the support. You are right I gave my word and plan to do so tomorrow.
I encourage everyone to sound off it helps get it out of your system.

Caving is not an option!
Stay quit!!
Instigator I went and posted support for you. I will be watching you it looks as if you had a couple in your group that could learn from this thread. So game on you can't cave and neither can I. We are in this together.

Stay quit!
And buddy, I certainly wasn't commenting on you in any negative way. I salute a year clean after so many years slaving to the can. I expect someone like you to sound off to work through a crave just like I will also sound off. I was only trying to help motivate in the best way I knew with so few miles on my journey.

I look at anyone with that much time down as an inspiration and if you get the crave and I can say something stupid to help you get through it, I'm your man!


:D
Good enough stay quit and look for a PM

Sensei That is how it works the more guys you have watching your back the better. I had a bad day today but I feel better now I vented and now it is behind me hopefully I don't have any more days like today in the near future.

Sorry gals didn't mean to leave you out :D
Go Samcat!!
Just remember Mark, no matter how bad you wanted it, you will feel that much better when the little funk passes. Im cruising along right now, but if you remember a few weeks ago I had it bad. Just keep fighting and Ill keep riding your coattails to the next day.


You are one fine quitter. Feel free to sound off whenever you feel like it.
IT GETS EASIER!!

Day 372
Today sucked! I wanted to take a dip today 'bang head' I was craving it I could taste it I wanted it bad. I made my promise this morning I did not do the unthinkable. However to be honest even while I am writing this I am still thinking about a can of Skoal.

Damn that crap is hard to give up even after a year I can't belive it!

Thanks for your support guys!!! I could not let you down today just the thought of you all here helped me get through the day.

THANKS!!!
Stay Quit!!

Day 353

Closing in on a year now! April 1st 2009 thatÂ’s the day for me that changed my life the day I said I will not let Skoal run my life anymore!!! I have had some great times here I have been pissed off here I have laughed cried and everything in between. 1 year wow when I started 1 week was great 1 month well that was awesome. Making it to the HOF hell that was a dream. 1 year that was a goal that seemed unattainable. You guys and gals here make this quitting stuff fun. Do I still crave some OH YEA but I own my quit now. You all have taught me to use the tools here. Will I cave HELL NO! CAVING IS NOT AN OPTION. That was taught to me by Ready very early in my quit. A great big THANK YOU goes out to you Ready for that. It would seem that after so many days the fight would be over and the battle won. I am finding out the main battle was fought and won but there are still little up risings that come up. This place is like no other place I have been. It is full of people that have been through the same experience some do better than others and no two quits are the same. When I started I struggled I was sick and felt like I was being turned inside out. The cravings were so intense that I compared them to being held under water wanting to gasp air. But by the second week they passed I still had craves but they were not that intense ever again.

I have watched my quit group dwindle to just a few of the original guys. We have been boosted up by others so our group doesnÂ’t look so small and for that I am truly grateful. Everyone here seems to watch everyoneÂ’s back we go out and try to check on members that we have not heard from for awhile. The brotherhood that is in the logo is real here we are bound by a common cause. It is working when one of us fails we ask why then support them again. It makes no difference here whether you are on day 1 or day 3000 you are an important part of this site and you have an influence on someone here. I have taken things from guys with less days than me and more days than me so just because you are on day 1 or 2 does not make you less important than someone else. You will find out if you are here for very long a lot of us have a lot in common. We have a common goal that is to stay Nicotine free but others like the same things we have the same problems and so on.

I have used my into as a sounding board through out my quit. I want to share my feelings and thought so that someone may want to quit or continue to stay quit. Because you have had a bad day or something didnÂ’t go right today taking a dip will not make it better, dip will kill you. I look back at my life I had a freaking dip in all the time what a waste. I am lucky so far I dipped for 38 years and have not got cancer yet. My gums have receded and I have dental problems but no cancer yet. Lucky? Maybe check back in a few years.

If you are reading this you are using one of the tools here. You will hear the term Paying it Forward that is what this is intended to do. To let you know even at the 1 year mark some of us still struggle every now and then. Thanks for letting me babble and run on.
To all my quit brothers in July 2009 Thanks for being there! To all of you that have supported me through the past year Thank You!!!

Stay Quit
I am proud of you Brudda. You are one bad ass quitter.
