I gotta say I never thought i would make it this long (almost 24 hours) without a pinch. Hell, just the thought of telling all this to a bunch of strangers made me laugh. I havent found the strength to dump my six bucks down the toilet, but at the same time i havent even tried to grab a pinch. i drank tonight, two six packs. I even went to the store for the second six pack and did not buy any tobacco. Hell, thats an improvement for me. Its getting late now and im telling myself that one pinch isnt going to hurt. It's better than the two tins ive normally gone through by this time. The craving is there, in the back of my head, but im somehow ignoring it. I really cannot fathom how; ive never stayed quit for this long before, especially with it in the house. (ya go ahead and yell at me for not being a man and throwing it out) anyone who cares, (sorry, i know you all care) i got in a huge fight with my gf of 4 years tonight, while i was drinking, and as much as i wanted a lip more than anything, i stayed the eff away. few more hours i will have survived my first 24 hours, and i cannot wait for that milestone, which is HUGE for me. thanks everyone for the ongoing support, i still cant believe i found this online. one more thing to do... 'flush'
