I was thinking about a chew today (not backsliding) and it hit me that I was 13.5 months clean. Truth in lending, I had a few cigars on the golf course over the summer, but less than 10 (maybe less than 5). I was feeling like a little ninja celebration and to say go team to my fellow quitters whether it has been a day or a year. My posting seems to irk some, so I don't do it very often, but hopefully it encourages someone to quit or stick with the quit. There is much better advice here than I could offer. I didn't care for the chew substitutes, but I am still using Forever Mints. They give you the oral thing and make your breath smell good, what a concept. Hang in there quitters and to the supporters here, thanks for what you are doing. Happy Holidays. See you next year, or maybe in five.
