454 days today. I wonder how I got to this many days. one day at a time. It honestly dawned on me today how 1000 days is not far out. That someone gave up 1000 days Quit. I am almost halfway there, and I feel as an infant of Quit, that at 1000 days I would only be the equivalent of a third grader, you see, I want to graduate college, and then get my doctorate of quitting. To do this, I have to be present everyday, I make my promise everyday, I keep my word and cannot miss a day. At 9490 days I graduate. That is 26 years of Quit which is as long as I dipped, then I have to work on the early years of chewing leaf tobacco. So another 6 years for my doctorate of Quit. It is easier to realize I do not need dip to think, to do, to be motivated. I still use fake, I really like the comfort of it. Much like a pacifier, one of these days, I just might grow up and put it away too.
