Today is my Day 365. I'd like to thank everyone here who helped me get here.

I'm bumping this partly in celebration but mostly in the hopes it might help any new guys who just got here and are having a hard time. I understand.

One year ago today, Cinco De Mayo 2013, a Sunday morning, I woke up and said "never again" and meant it. I never wanted to go back to tobacco but I sure hated all the withdrawal symptoms. Nicotine withdrawal messed with my brain and my body for longer than I thought it would and in ways I couldn't predict but I'm here today tobacco-free and feeling great.

If I can do it, anyone can. Including you. Stay strong.
Congrats on the year! Keep on quitting strong!
Well done Desk Jockey. An August Bad Ass representing to the fullest. 1 year quit. You da man.
1 year is awesome, congratulations!

Meant to post this a few days ago, but better late than never.

On day 248 (last Wednesday, January 8), I went to the dentist again. It had been six months since my last cleaning. This was just a routine visit and the dentist said my teeth and gums look fine. "You have really nice teeth" were his exact words. Cool! Looks like all that dip might not have done as much damage as I thought.

That's three dentist visits in less than a year for me. I used to go years between visits when I was dipping but I want to stay healthy.

We got talking about tobacco. My dentist is a former dipper himself and he said his lab guy just quit dipping as a new years resolution.

As I was about to leave, I ask the hygenist for a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down www.killthecan.org on a post-it note and asked her to give it to the lab guy.

I don't read intro threads here every day so I don't know if he's here but I sure hope so. I figure he was on Day 8 that day and, for me at least, that was about as hard a time for quitting as there was.

If you're that guy and recognize yourself from this reading this, please say hello or send me a Private Message. I'll be happy to offer as much support as I can.

Wow. I haven't been back to my own introduction thread and missed all the well-wishes below from my quit brothers after I hit HOF.

Thank you all.

Just wanted to report I'm on Day 222 and have been feeling great for...well, since I can't remember. I wrote previously in this thread about chest pains but I haven't had any problems at all lately.

I think I've gained about five pounds (but I'm 6'2", so that's not all that much) since it became too cold to bicycle to work here in Colorado and that was also right around Halloween, when candy was everywhere - on people's desks at work, in my kids' trick or treat baskets, etc.

But I usually do this fall weight gain every year and shed it quickly in the spring when I get back into regular physical activity like cycling. I ski in the winter, but that's one day every now and then vs. every day excercise when it's not brutally cold outside.

I'm really happy to be tobacco free and for all you guys to share our highs and lows together.

Quit on!
