I hit two years quit recently, you can do it.  Keep at it. POST ROLL EVERY SINGLE DAY!!
Damn, thats awesome Root, congrats! you are a badass quitter!
Badass bro. Bad. Ass!
I am glad to see you at 2 years rootboy, and I second the sentiment of posting every day.

how is it that you offer such sage advice and dont follow it? 2 years = equals 730 days. You have 337 posts.

I wholeheartedly support your quit and endorse your advice of posting roll every day. It just sounds hollow coming out of a hypocrite.
You noticed too, huh?

It IS great advice though.

The problem is not the problem.  The problem is your attitude about the problem.  Do you understand?

If felt like the right time. I wanted to own my quit vs. just "quitting" like before. I have never felt better about this decision!

Congrats on your quit!

This weekend I will hit day 700.  Next month will be two years.  I feel like I've never dipped before.  I gave it up once for nearly three years and then caved.  So odd.  This quit feels different.  So I ask myself, why did I quit THIS time?

Chewing tobacco was ruling every decision of my life.  It controlled my emotions, from fear of cancer and dying to relaxation.  I wanted to take the control back.

Why did you quit?

*poof* I got nothin

I finally matured enough to understand that I lacked control over my life. By giving power to my addiction, I was harming myself and others.

And then came the meaningful accountability called KTC.

Because of bad ass quiters like you that told me how much better life would be without it. Thank you for going before me and paving the way, so that when I didn't know what the future held, people like you were able to enlighten me. The circle continues.

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 actually didn't even plan to quit, I had wanted to but was always a big pussy and thought I could never do it. Like so many others on here; I was tired of being controlled by a can and I wanted to get rid of the thoughts of dipping taking me away from my loving family so; one day I was out of cash and my wife had my debit card and I wasn't able to buy a can, so I went to work without any and while I was at work I started surfing the internet about quitting dipping and stumbled upon this site and I read the intro's and the hall of fame speeches and realized right then that I could quit, so I registered on KTC, made some great friends and haven't looked back since.

Today is day 418 and I still have dreams that I can have just one dip.  I wake up with relief.  You all do the same.  Quit forever.  I quit for three years once and then had THAT one.  Five years later and I am on day 418. 

Stay Quit my friends, stay quit.
I'll be honest. I hate this post. Not because it was bad but because it forces me to face reality.

Fact is that sometimes truth is a hard pill to swallow. I tell myself everyday that I am an addict. My head tells me I am cured.

I read this and understand that I must keep my guard up every day I live.

I have said that I am at war for life. I think I am starting to understand what that means.

If nic wants a fight, I'm game. Thanks for the thoughts, It woke me up today.

Piss on tobacco. Dreams, Funks, Depression? I'll take it and hate nic more!
To answer your question, yes I have dreams like that. I had a dip dream last week that fuct with me the whole next day. I look at it this way; I stuffed that shit in my body daily for 30 years. Whatever pain I have to endure to stay quit.. I earned.

Great Post. Keep fighting

STAY QUIT
