Appreciate the comments and PM's.

For what it's worth, I was reading a book on addiction.
People LEAN on relationships or they LEAN on chemicals. Everybody has a choice.
I can honestly say it feels great to Lean on some BA FFF and KTC.
Quit On and Thank you!

Thoughts and prayers for your FIL and you and your family; I am sorry he is going through all of that.

Your efforts to educate and encourage others are very admirable and appreciated. And thanks for sharing your story--it certainly adds to the strength of our quit.

Rawls sorry I haven't posted on here sooner. You've got a great intro thread going. Keep up the work you do here. Posting on other's thread will definitely help others but helping others also adds more accountability to your own quit.

Thanks Blues.

Crazy long time ago........ we are so lucky to have lips.
Only have a couple teeth left.
Snuff ate off my Pinch fingers on both hands years ago!
And that whole time , I thought it was who I was, its was just part of the cards I was dealt.
I liked it.... was proud of it. It was my identity.... Oh and if you don't like me and my tobacco.. hit the road.

Then one day I am in the hospital with my father in law. The lump in his throat was cancer.
Within a week they had cut half his tongue out and were trying to replace it with a muscle from his forearm.
Radiation started soon after and burned his neck so bad he lost all saliva glands.
He is fed three times a day with a tube in his stomach.
His fight is by the second. This man truly understands the meaning of the words .... "going through SUCK".

Then I looked in the mirror........ REAL HARD
My Suck is NOTHING....

IM hear to endure this suffering of self..... and go without poison... and help any and everybody I can get off this S@%#T!

STOP NOW. IT.... IS...... NOT..... WORTH..... IT.....You will die.

Sorry, cant hold it back, still pissed off ... Nicotine is a lie.

77 days NEW Identity!

Rawls out

Hi Rawls,

We've a similare nicotine history (and pab's). I started at 12yo and dipped for 37 years.
Like you, I started when dip was 25 cents/can. Loose leaf or plug was 20 cents. I used to tell myself I'd quit at certain price points......but never did. The claws were in too deep.

It seems your quit is progressing well and you are helping others entering the process. My hats off to you and I'm proud to Quit With YOU.

A brother or sister that pays it forward is helping themselves as well! Stay strong, and let's keep paying it forward! Proud to be quit with you today.

I felt compelled to read this intro because I see this "Rawls" person on the right hand side of the intro page as the last comment on numerous threads. Like m'man rdad said intimated, the quit is strong in this one.

Keep doing what your doing Rawls. People are noticing and are becoming inspired by what you're doing and contributing to the site. Newbies, this guy isn't that far ahead of you and has already built a foundation of quit so sturdy, that he's now building a castle on top of it. Watch this guy and how he embraces QLFEDD.

Quitting with you Rawls 'oh yeah'

Totally.... Both.
Not sure about others but brother I've been self medicating my body for 38 years.
The books and doctors say it takes 100 days for your mind to learn to cope without chemicals. I'm gonna give mine a chance.
Biggest issue for Me so far is celebrating.... That's hardest at first but I'm learning I can have fun without chemical.
Tired of my flesh telling me what I need.
PM me we can talk more.
But honestly... I feel better, sleeping better, eating better, attitude is better, relationships are better all.. Without nicotine, alcohol and caffeine.
Celebrating clean is the best kind of fun. Quit with you today.

Curious to ask, because I have been thinking about toning down coffee  alcohol. Do you think that has really helped your quit / life? Quitting nicotine was huge for me but I'm starting to see that it wasn't the only negative chemical in my life. Would be grateful for your advice

"What would you do to save your own life? If you were fighting cancer today would you suffer through Chemo, surgeries, try new a therapy? change your diet, go to church? What intolerable hell would you endure to simply live. When you have thought long and hard about that, think on this. Why not apply that attitude to your quit. Suffer through the temporary discomfort of withdrawal to achieve your freedom from a slow painful demise via nicotine. Your in the ring already- fight like you mean it." - Skoal Monster 10/8/14
