hey how's the quit going?
The quit is strong. 60's were a little slow seeming, but the last few days have been really great. I had a few beers the other night and didn't even think about the bitch that I left until the next day Don't really care about her anymore, anyway. 'Finger'
I have been staying busy with work, trying to slowly get back all the money I gave away over the years.
Nice! keep it up! NAFAR!

Woke up this morning after my second consecutive dip dream in the last two days. Havent had em in at least a month.  Weird thing is, my girlfriend woke up and told me she had a dream that I told her I had to go get a can of shit and then walked away from her. Crazy awesome that she's having cave dreams for me.

Stay quit, folks.
Yeah that's great. Hey your avatar is awesome!!!!
Wow, surrogate cave dreams! Ditto what Grizz said re: your avatar.
Yeah cave dreams the worst....but can you make them pop out of that dress? I keep expecting them too but they never do......lol ( Your Avatar)

A year and a half later I still have an occassional cave dream.  The farther down this rabbit hole you go, the more welcome cave dreams become (in a wierd way).  They're nice glimpses into how badly betraying your group and your own quit can fuck you up.  Treat them like a simulator where you get to experience the guilt and shame of failure without the actual failure.  Each day gets better man.  Soon enough being in lecture without a dip will be your normal instead of having that poison in your mouth.  One day at a time.  It sounds like you have a good understanding of what this is all about.  PM me if you need a new number.
Interesting. I can totally understand the reason why it can be beneficial to experience these dreams.

A little about myself and why I joined this alliance of quitters:

I ended my active service in the Marine Corps in 2010 and moved to AZ in order to start college. Shortly after my move I had met my now current girlfriend who was living in northern California. I moved closer to her since I had not yet started school. She knew that I used tobacco in the Marine Corps, and I had stopped several times after moving there, but I had not the conviction nor accountability that I do now. Minny's Hall of Fame speech saved me. That speech echoed my life and relationship with my girlfriend. I was making excuses for myself as to why "I couldn't come over tonight" and why I needed to run to the store, etc.. After intently reading as much as I could here I decided to come clean to her. I picked her up that day and opened up about it. It had been two days of my quit at that point and I about lost it emotionally. It had been 3 years behind her back because of my fucking addiction. I'm here to stay with you guys. Another day down!
It sure is a awesome feeling coming clean about your lying isn't it. I lied to my wife for 33 years, what an ass! Never again for any reason!!

Sorry I haven't updated what's been happening lately, as school semester started during my first week of quit. That was pretty rough since in the past I made an effort to have a constant lipper while in lecture. I've been quit for ten days now. Ordered some of that new hooch rough since I had been a Copenhagen long cut guy. A couple days ago I had a dip dream and woke up thinking and feeling depressed that I had lost the battle. Fortunately, I had read a lot of topics here from other guys and new about the dreams so the feelings of failure only lasted a couple hours. When I have a bit more time this evening I'll come back on and share why I decided to quit with you all.

Stay strong brothers!

Mr. Skoal, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
