4 years! Keep showing us the way!

1400. What a ride...and it does get easier.

Connect with your brothers and sisters, work at this together, share in your successes, protect your quit. You never, ever have to experience a Day 1 ever again.

Why would you?

Quit on.

Awesome bro, love your increased visibility in all the new groups these days ... lots of wisdom, I for one appreciate it!

Sorry I missed this bro. Was getting my ass kicked by a snow storm.

Belated congrats, and thank you for sticking around. You make this place better.

Sure glad to have this man in my quit circle!

I am an April Hall of Famer. For all the new guys posting up here these weeks, I know you, because I was you.

Four years and a day ago I spit out my last dip, and 4 years ago today I flushed my lozenges and started the journey of my quit. I've had many people here along the way to help me succeed. Like many of you, I had struggles in the early part of my quit, including drama in my quit group, a wife who still smoked, and lots of "life problems". I never believed that adding nicotine into any of my problems could make them go away, and that is key - as Scodaddy says, "1 problem + nicotine = 2 problems".

I am here to tell you that if you think you cannot quit, you are likely wrong. I gutted a can to a can and a half of Kodiak a day for more than a decade. My mind and body rewired and healed over time. It hurt like a motherfucker at first. Today I don't even think about dip, and none of the lying an cheating behaviors enter my mind.

I damn near got my ass kicked at work when a buddy, who knew I was quit, asked me if I wanted one - he handed me his can, I packed it, and then let it fall to the ground like pixie dust and I giggled hysterically. I saw the desperation on his face as a dip was being stepped on in the warehouse. I saw him picking up what was left later, and I knew how much of a slav he was...and how much of one I had been.

I read the horrifying story Capt. Kylos wrote about his friend, Randy, who lost his life to nicotine addiction. It was a terrible death, and one I hope I will never encounter. It made my quit stronger, gave me more resolve.

One more reason to say 'Finger' to UST and all of their supporters.

Today I give back to the site that I believe has saved my life. My wife is quit with me now - we'll post a combined 2,544 days today - and I think I'll celebrate by having a quiet, peace day of...Quit.

Quit on.

~Frazz

Congratulations and thank you. As one of the leaders on this site you put in time and do a lot behind the scenes that we don't see. Your efforts help us win at something we consistently lost at. Enjoy another day of freedom!

Seconded ... and HUGE congrats on the 4th year milestone.

On your six Frazz.... 'oh yeah'

And today a new milestone, not for me, but for my wife...

She gets her comma today.

Who would have thought that, after crushing up her last smokes, we'd be sitting with her at 1,000 days. That's 2,379 in the Frazzled household.

For all you new quitters, welcome. Time to drop your cocks and grab your socks, because we got some quitting to do.

Quit on.

~Frazz

Fuckin' A!

Quittin with the Frazz Family!

Holy wow. Power couple.

Keep it up folks. Proud as shot of both of you.

So today I stand here, one week away from 3 years quit and 10 days from the 11th floor. It blows my mind that I could have come this far in such a short period of time. But yet, the desire for a dip, while not totally gone, does not consume me.

This Christmas was great because, not only did I not care that the convenience stores would be closed, but I didn't care if the liquor stores would be closed, either.

See, we are all addicts. We all have addictive personalities in some form or another. When I gave up dip, my drinking increased. Now that I'm dealing with that demon, my desire for food was going up. Now I am tackling both of those demons with better fitness and a love to play guitar with, of course, the newest, oldest, most vintage effects and amp combos alive. Damn near costs as much as dipping.

But yet I can walk away from those things, and still be ok. Yeah, sure, round is a shape. My guitars will collect dusts But in the end, I will not be killing myself with poison.

As the new year approaches, I challenge you all to look at the addictive behaviors that have popped out now that you are not feeding the nic bitch. Keep working on being Quit, but don't be afraid to dig deeper and to find other things in your life you can root out. Try to be the best YOU you can be.

As always, most important to this site...Quit on.

~Frazz

Nice post Frazz got to get a handle on the handle so to speak.

Thanks for posting this Frazz.....time to stop and take a look around. Happy Holidays

Exactly why I post with this bad ass daily! Thank you for all you do Frazz but most importantly I thank you for your direct supporting my quit! I appreciate you. Just last week myself and Jackson51413 were discussing the fact we r drinking more and need to keep a check on that demon. I've been strongly considering Stopping boos all together, nonetheless I have started drinking less, and much less regular. Quit with you!
