Nice intro. It kinda ends at 1/2 way to HOF. No HOF speech. Is your story over?

Day 52 Update: Half way and some change to the HOF! Lets seeÂ…

Ironically (or maybe not ironic technically speaking), this is probably the best semester IÂ’ve performed in my college career. I canÂ’t believe I was so worried about performing poorly. To my credit though, I have been working extremely hard this semester. Something about the whole, graduate in 4 years, and when its finally your 4th year and youÂ’re not near graduating kinda kicks everything in gear.

DonÂ’t really experience craves so much as they are thoughts. These thoughts get answered with a swift: no, thatÂ’s poison, and no, youÂ’re an addict.

I think my most recent noticeable progression is that, I don’t seek the “after food dip.” During the first few weeks I would crave a dip after eating, kinda like a 1-2 punch, being full from eating and then BAM. I guess early on that was kind of replaced with alternative.

I know IÂ’m only half way to the HOF, and relatively speaking whats 50 days on the rest of my life, butÂ…IÂ’m thankful for that day on September 17.. To be quite honest, IÂ’m not entirely sure what triggered my quit, like really pushed me over the edge. Not sure if IÂ’ve written it yet in this thread but lets seeÂ…
Maybe it was driving to my work (30 miles from my house) to get that one specific brand
Maybe it was having to ninja a dip after dinner with lady friends. Oh man this was a big one.
Maybe it was the thought of my future girlfriend or wife.
It was being a slave to a chemical.
Oh right, there it is, all those reasons. Just had to remind myself.

Quit on! 'oh yeah'

Man Einstein, having you in this forum is like being able to talk to myself in my distant past. I am really psyched that you are taking your life back so much earlier than I did. :)

College was when I really cemented myself into tobacco use. And it was also the time that I told myself that dipping helped me pass tests somehow when it really never did. I'm not sure how many girlfriends I blew off because I'd rather have a dip than spend time with them when I was in college.

It is great to see you winning today my friend.

The more I read about this kid, the more I like him! I know so many young men your age that don't give a shit about life or death! You're a smart kid and I expect to continue to read nothing but success stories from you! Damn proud of you and you damn well should be! Quit on young man and remember I'm a pm away 24-7!

Day 46 update:

Looking back, I'm amazed at how much progress I've made in this short amount of time. 6 weeks and 4 days... I guess that is actually some what lengthy.

I've found that I no longer use alternative dip or gum or whatever. I still have 2 large bags of lifesavers mints that I bought at the beginning of my quit that are still relatively full. Around weeks 3-4, the alternative still helped take the edge off, kind of placebo. But now, its too much of a hassle for what its worth... Gotta rinse my mouth, clean my teeth. No bueno.

6 weeks and 4 days is bad ass. Sounds like you have the oral habit under control. Great progress. Great example for all of us.

For when I look back on this thread in the future...

At the hospital, my grandpa passed away. Sitting outside with some family while my grandma has some alone time. My cousin and aunties are smoking. Tempting, sorta, not really. Typing this from a distance to avoid temptation. It's poison. I'm an addict, and forever will be.

Sorry to hear about your grandpa Einstein. I know you know this already, but it's worth repeating: 1 problem + nicotine = 2 problems. It will not help you or your feelings or bring your gramps back.

Nice job coming here with it. Stay strong and text some brethren to help you if you need it.

My condolences brother. Be strong. Stay quit. Prayers for you and your family. Quitting with you today

That sux. Dip will not cure or change any of it. You have to power through. May God guide you and your family during this trying time.

Very sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family. Stay strong brother.

6 weeks today. Tobacco is poison. Nicotine is poison. Never use again.

Thank you everyone for your support. I'd quote all you guys but there is quite a bit. I've seen and read each message and I appreciate each and every one of them. I quit with you guys today.
