I just posted what I would call my first real "advice" to someone on this website.  I am  "only" 62 days quit.  After I finished writing it, I realized something.  There is no "only" in front of number of days quit.  There is only quit.  I am as qualified to give advice as a guy quit for thousands of days.  After one day of quit, I felt qualified to speak out on freedom, tobacco sucking, and everything else.  I didn't, but I felt qualified to do so.  Why did I feel qualified?  Because I quit.  For the first time in my life, I quit.  I instantly knew the difference between quitting and pausing.  Quitting FUCKING HURT!  All the others were just pauses.  In my heart I knew it was a pause, so it didn't hurt.  Piss me off?  Yes.  Hurt?  No.

What's the point?  I guess that it took me 62 days to realize that I can talk like an old vet on this website if I want.  There is no required number of days to be quit, there is only:

1.  Quit.
2.  Not Quit.


I am quit.  You should be too.  It's pretty cool.
HOLY SHIT...can it be the chosen one that will unite the tribes?

Seriously great stuff man. Absolutely spot on. Either quit or not quit. Either choose life or death.
Yeah, rangy's friggin' cool. May '12 dude. There's a couple badasses in there.
Rangy's quit makes me wet

I'm getting close to 60 days.  Wow, almost 2 months.  Never thought I'd get this far. I feel really good about it and know in my heart I won't ever dip again.  I really do feel like ktc was great for getting me to this point but, honestly, I can't see myself staying here much longer.  I won't need that.  As a matter of fact, I think I could probably stop posting roll right now and be fine.  All this "I am an addict" talk was great and was dramatic and helped me deal with this problem but I am in a better place now.  I could probably even have a dip or 2 on the special occasion weekends because now I know how to quit.

THIS IS WHAT THE NIC BITCH WHISPERED TO ME THIS MORNING.

And she sounded so fucking good. 

Then I read we lost a brother of may on his day 68.  Caved. 

I posted this morning and will continue to do so, even when the whispers fall silent for a while.  She will be back.

But I will post and read and post and read until she is gone.
She is the enemy. A lying heathen. Empty and useless. You will control her. Make her your puppet.
Tremendous post Rangy. I've had those same thoughts. Then, as you said, we witness someone with more days quit than ourselves cave. It is a sobering reminder that we have to stay vigilant and protect our quits.
Proud to be quit with you today!

I started reading your post and I was ready to blow! Go view yesterday posts in July quiter to see what it is like without posting roll, we got a new member posting day 1 after caving on a 300 day quit. As I read on in your post I was glad you recognized the bitch for what she is, just that a conniving bitch.

Day 57.  Captain's log.

We have entered the UST Galaxy,  and it is completely engulfed in a copenhagen asteroid field.  Spock insists the only way to navigate through the copenhagen asteroid field without destroying the ship, and hence our lives, is to use the vulcan mind-meld.  He is not aware of the KTC option.  I have tried to explain to him the human logic of posting roll and the accountability that it brings every day.  He cannot understand why it would be necessary to go post roll on a website and make a promise to a bunch of people you don't know just to ensure that you don't kill yourself every day.  But, he's not human, and he is not an addict.  I am both.  And I am a Brother of May 2012, so I get it. 

So, as we navigate the field of cope cans, I, Captain Kirk, remain diligent so that I may post roll again tomorrow.  And so I can continue to have sex with weirdly hot alien chicks on prime time TV in the 70s.

......ok, those thoughts are a little strange and I am not even a big star trek fan.  But, it was the only show my parents would allow me to watch that had hot, nearly naked chicks on it.  My dad claimed to like the show, but looking back, I think he had a thing for alien chicks. 

I promised myself a post today, and this is what came out.  Take it for what it's worth.  Somebody just trying to ward off a funk that is coming.
Thanks Rangy,
Now I had to google "hot, naked, hairy-three-toed-alien, porn"
What came up was NOT Star Trek, but oh well.
Keep up the solid quit.

Day 54.  Made it through a weekend with a dipping father in law.  He's the kind that likes to say "no way your gonna quit.  you've said that before".  And then sticks his tongue into his can of skoal and shows me how good it is. 

I love him because he is my father in law.  Not because he is supporting my quit.


Stay quit dudes.
Sigh. I just have no freaking patience for these folks you guys are encountering who should be supportive and are quite the opposite.

I don't care if they are coworkers, relatives, or even spouses/kids/siblings, if they are USING in front of you and MOCKING your quit, they are FUCKS.

I'm lucky, I guess, I happen to have a halfway decent father-in-law. Mother-in-law's another tale :) However, this FIL of yours helps support that notion that in-laws SUCK. You tell him I said that, I don't mind being the bad cop.

Stay strong, brother.
There are always doubters and they can all kiss my ass!

We quit like Fuck around here!

I say do your best to avoid negative people like that and stay near your support which is this group, they are the ones who know what your dealing with and going thru.

Stay quit stay focused!
Rangy, that just sucks. I've had the good fortune of not being around a lot of other dippers during my quit. To have people you care about siding with the nic bitch has got to be difficult. Hang in there bro. You are strong, and you are quit. Something your father-in-law can't say...
