No pipe wrenches needed, not stake outs...

Been out of state for a long time with work. Living out of a suitcase and in hotels isn't much fun if you have a family, which is how I've been living for the past 2 1/2 months or so. Got a laptop about a week ago so I'm going to make a valiant effort to stay current and active on here again.

A few may have thought that I caved because of my absence but I am proud to say that I did not. Was tempted and tested a lot of times, but because of this site, I'm proud to say that I'm still quit! May sound corny and mushy and shit but if it weren't for this site, I would have caved a long time ago. People are here for a reason: IT WORKS...I can attest to that!

I owe a ton to my quit group, the June Bugs of 09', if it weren't for them, I'd be a helpless, dippin' idiot still. They probably don't know how much they've helped me, even to this day, and for that I will be forever thankful to them.

Take stock in yourself, your quit and your group, people do care!

Stay Strong-Stay Quit!

Glad to have you back "little green monster"!! And even more glad that you are still quit!!! :D
If it wasn't for Physics and Law Enforcement!
I would be UNSTOPPABLE!!!

Fighting an addiction by yourself is hard enough, but fighting it with others who know what you?re going through and will fight side by side with you makes that battle a hell of a lot easier.

Just wondering.  What ever happened to this dude?
I tried texting him the other day, no response. He is from my home town and we kept in touch a little here and there. Last activity was July 11th, I previously talked to him like July 6th....not good.
Hmmm.

Day 119

Being 100+ days in feels good, it really does...however it's just a beginning. I've had some serious cravings since day 100 so don't think for a minute that just because you reach a certain milestone in your quit that things will become easier. Yes the nicotine is out of my system, yes I am quit and am strong in my diligence against the bitch, yes, I can do without her, and absolutely yes, I can and will be quit for today!

This bitch is always in hiding, waiting for a weak moment in our life. She's ready to pounce on a seconds notice, ready to enslave us once again to her meaningless ways. She has not one iota of feeling for us, for she prays on our weaknesses and it is at that moment that we second guess ourselves. Don't let that bitch back in, send her packing, you deserve it, you've come too far, we are far too strong for her to come calling and deceive us once again! When the thought of her crosses our minds, we must take appropriate actions. When our quit is tested, we strengthen our resolve by confiding in others. We are Quitters, we are strong and no one can take that from us.

You are an awesome quitter, that shit that used to be in your lip is long gone. It may be difficult to deal with at first, however, it is for the best and you know it! Quitting isn't easy but it is very rewarding, stick with it and reap the rewards. I like the statistics of a non dipper and I think I'll stay on this side of the fence.

Stay here, stay strong and stay Quit!

Good luck to you and your quit, you can do this.

Day 102

Just awaking from the alcohol induced coma from the HOF train that ran through here a couple days ago. What a ride that was!

Was gone for a few days with work and didn't get a chance to post but kept in contact via texts so I had my bases covered. Didn't even get to post my Day 100 so I had Kid post for me. I couldn't think of a more logical choice than for the one person that was so instrumental in my quit from Day 1.

Got the HOF speech written and posted. I left a shitload of people out that I wanted to thank and that sucks because if it weren't for all of them as a whole, I wouldn't be as quit as I am.

I'm proof this site works, along with a boatload of others. I don't know how many times I tried to quit, I don't have that many fingers and toes but what I do know is that I owe every single day of my quit to this site and to all of the other dippers turned quitters!

If you can read, you can quit! If you want to quit, please read all that you can. It helped me and can help you as well. My journey is far from over, but the experiences along that journey are what make the trip worthwhile.

Thank you to all of you that have been a part of my quit, I am forever grateful. Those that are new, ask for help if you need it. We're here for you and we want you to succeed as much as possible. PM me and I'll be in your corner, offering encouragement and support. Don't be afraid to ask, this is a help driven site and we want to help you quit! You can do this!

Stay Strong-Stay Quit!

Day 87

Eighty seven...can't even fathom that just yet...all I know is that is a shit-load of days without dip.

Yay for me...yay for you...yay for all of us that do not chew!

Took the lid off an old Skoal can yesterday, Nic Bitch tried to get me to play her game, I kicked her in the taint and kept on going.

Fuck that bitch!

MF
You got that bitch under control MF.
I found one can around day 10. That was rough - had to open the lid, smell it and stare at it for a couple minutes. I think I did that routine maybe 3 times and finally said fuck you and dumped it in the grass. I found another can in my truck around day 45-50. Opened it up, smelled it again and wouldn't you know it my wife and daughter come out of the house. Immediately, I'm freaked thinking my Bra'Ho is going to suspect I'm caving. I stuff that can in my pants go to the garage, dump that shit out and gave a big fuck you to the nic bitch. Keep on keeping on bro

Day 69

Been a while since last post but quit is going a lot better than I expected.  Have had one serious crave that was back in my mid 50 quit days but overcame that.  I know that other craves are lurking in the shadows but having this site and the chat really help me stay quit and true to self.

Was out of town all of last week, had Kid post roll for me...Kid, if you read this, Thanks for posting for me.

Was around a lot of people that dipped last week and am so fortunate I'm quit, those guys looked fucking ignorant with those big fatties in their lips and breath that smelled like old gym socks.  I had a spit cup but it was full of sunflower seeds from the big David sunflower seeds I was chewing on all week. 

Something great about this site that I would like to share is the accountability with each of our quits.  As I mentioned, I was away from home all of last week and my only way of posting was for me to text a quit buddy from my cell phone, which I did every day.  Here's the neat thing, Bhfive, being the great quitter that he is, became concerned about me and shot me a quick text checking up on me and making sure I was doing alright.  Talk about making you feel good, that's some awesome shit right there.  Having a fellow quitter thinking enough about you to check in and make sure you're alright is an awesome feeling.  Bhfive, thank you bro, you're one hell of a quit brother in my book!

To those of you that are just getting started, find yourself a quit buddy, get their number, post for one another if there's a time you won't be able to post.  It may sound a little silly to you right now, but when you utilize it, the feeling and satisfaction you get from it will be well worth it.  Staying quit isn't a game and using all the tools from this site will make your quit much more attainable.  Having a quit buddy or multiple quit buddies is well worth it and it only takes a few seconds to send a text, invest in one another and you will reap the rewards. 

Stay Strong-Stay Quit!

MF
And you returned the favor Saturday while I was watching my baby and could not get to computer as early as usual. I think it makes my quit a lot more fun haveing brothers to keep an eye on.

Great quit MF!
No problem bro...you're my quit brother and I got your back just like you've got mine.

It makes the quit that much more meaningful when you have others to answer to...just like posting roll...don't let your quit brother/sister down and you won't let yourself down.

See you at roll tomorrow you quitter!
