51 days quit.  Today is the hardest day by far.  A close friend of mine had a precautionary heart surgery on Feb 5th, sufferred complications and never made it out of ICU.  He died last night at 36 years of age.  Leaving behind a wife and 3 young children.  I am heartbroken and filled with grief. 

Our time on this earth can be very short my friends.  Each day and each hour are precious gifts that we should should treasure.  QLF today.
I hate to hear that G2H. Too freaking young. Hits pretty close to home for me.
I Am so sorry to hear. Prayers out to the family.
Stay strong brother!
Cant even imagine....God bless brother
Thank you for the words. My heart breaks for his wife and children. He had some kind of congenital heart valve issue. I dont know if nic was to blame in any way, shape, or form. But I know it sure as hell didn't help. I cannot believe that even sorrow is a trigger.
Very sorry to hear about that! This is a tough time for everyone involved there. Sorrow unfortunately is a trigger. Stay strong!
nothing a dip can do to ease that pain. Don't tarnish the memory of your friend with a cave. Thoughts are with you. One day at a time.
"CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit. After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco."

Pretty good dialogue today in the April group regarding the importance of posting role EVERYDAY!!!! Here is my 2 cents.

100% next to my name!! I wouldn't count on that changing anytime soon. I will take the good days and the bad days quit. There are still many bad days, but I was hopeless on my own. And let's be honest, when I was using...they were all bad days. How could you have a good day when your world revolved around a mouth full of tobacco. 2 cans/day at the end. I could never get enough, sometimes 3 cans if I was on a weekend bender.

I am ecstatic about putting that chapter of my life behind me. Not sure I like doing it one day at time, but at this point I have no other choice. QFT, and I will see you on the role tomorrow. As for the guys that don't post...............fuck em, if they dont make a promise, how can anyone possiblly help them to keep it.
Sorry to hear. Thoughts and prayers.

Day 43 here. I cant believe it has taken 40 days to feel some measure of pride about this quit. But I now have some. And it will only help me to protect the quit.

I am still kicking nic ass on a daily basis. Just read Thors post and it reminds me of how hard I have craved too. Well fuck that anymore. That nic bitch can crawl into a fucking hole and die, she has no power here anymore. Get under my boot bitch, while I Joe Pesci stomp your nasty skull into the ground. You can come calling, bring your lies, for I will recognize them for what they are. A futile attempt to draw in a quitter. You've got no say here anymore. Even if you come on a weak day, I will not cave. I have an army of quitters standing with me that I am trained to lean on.

I am seeing this freedom as a great gift. My eye is on the prize. I know I must quit one day at time. Some days that is all I will be capable of. But other days I feel compelled to say, "fuck you, I win".

Quit on!!
Good stuff Its_Got2Happen!! 'bang head'

4 AM here.  Just awakened by a shitty nicotine dream.  It is the 2nd one of my quit.  This time it didnt even involve dip.  I was on the golf course and having a big crave.  I suddenly remembered that I had a bunch of 4mg nicotine lozenges in my truck.  So at the turn I run out to the truck and pop one in.  As I sucked on it I started to panic thinking that this might tempt me to buy a can on the way home.  Fearing that I might "cave" it was hard to concentrate on golf, then I realized I there is no might cave, I just did "cave".  Woke up on a cold sweat and turned on the computer. 

I am about to go out to my truck right now and shit can $50 worth of Nicorette bullshit.  I forgot that I even had it, but I guess the nic bitch didnt.  That whore works alot of angles while looking for a quit to devour.

Day 41 here WTF, still tormented sometimes.  This addiction is a nasty beast.  Guess I ought to go post role.
Take that $50 of bullshit and flush it down the shitter. Then your next dream will be of you going toilet diving for it and once your head hits the water you will wake up. Don't do what I did at my buddies the other night and go "upper deck" with it either.
