Tyler ... congrats on the 2nd floor buddy! You've been a huge part of my quit, both here and via phone and/or text. You are the epitome of a bad-ass quitter, and I'm proud as fuck to quit with you EDD. 'Cheers'
Thanks man! Without you and all of these guys here, I am not 200 days quit. It really is that simple. I am absolutely tickled to death to come as far as I have, but this is just the beginning. I shall see y'all back on roll for 201.
Thats the way to do it! Nice kool aid jtb
Preciate that! Kool aid tasted delicious!

Haven't written in here in a while, but I wanted to make a note to self for the shit my head has been put through the past few days. A little foggy coming through the low 70's. Pulling through, but this serves as a reminder to not put myself through this shit ever again. Quitting today.
Keep pushing through jtb. Tough stretch for a lot of us in the last couple weeks b4 the hof. The good news is that for a lot of us there was/is a nice stretch of "easy" days just after the hof. You are big time correct that you never want to be day 1 again.
You are killing it brother!

Thank y'all very much, fellas. Don't know if I could have made it through without the support. I am feeling much better lately. The past few days were a serious struggle and test, and dammit, I won. I am really starting to notice little daily victories now. Yesterday, went to a discount tobacco store in search of some herbal snuff (hard to find around here), and didn't bat an eye to the other crap. Also, made it through most of the evening/night without using any herbal at all. Really feeling good about this quit.

Get a good book, go see a movie, play a game, find a distraction to occupy your mind. Keep exercising and work on your NAFAR mindset. I found a lot of my craving issues disappeared once I wrapped my head around the fact that caving was not and never would be an option... I still quit ODAAT, but the end game is NAFAR, and once I embraced that the craves diminished.

I love your attitude and fight! You are so close to a better spot; all you need to do is push through. QLF with you all day.

I stopped in to the local Wal Mart for a can of Smokey Mountain, because I felt like today might be a tough one, and I wanted to have some herbal close by. I am trying to come off of it slowly but surely, but I am not going to take any chances that I don't have to take right now.

I cannot tell y'all just how much the encouragement helps, and to know that there are guys like me out there going through or have been through the same shit. I cannot imagine going through this alone. I couldn't do it alone. I have come way too far to fold. I refuse to let myself, or my quit brethren down. I know this will pass, and I will be better for it. Quitting with y'all today.
pretty cool how this thing works aint it......

well done....you asked for and received support and encouragement to make today.....by doing so you inadvertently encouraged others.

it's the circle of quit young grasshoppers......

and round and round we go.....

the posts in todays thread made my quit stronger today.....

Thanks gents

Hi JT,

Yes, day 30 up until a few days shy of day 50 for me was a period of STRONG CRAVES that came back from out of nowhere. It messes with your mind as you're back to thinking about dip all of the time, just like in the beginning of the quit. You may wonder how you can deal with this, like it will go on forever, but it will subside. After 50 days I can now go for hours without thinking about it!

In my intro I describe a day a few weeks ago where I had an evening of super strong craves and I resorted to putting coffee grounds in my lip. (I have not yet bought any fake). It did the trick somehow and got past it.

It WILL get better. You will continue to be quit. I will continue to be quit. I will PM you my number.
