The novelty of my quit is gone, posting roll has become boring.
I hate it as much as I hate Skoal.

I was in a dark place when I posted this, have been reading the responses since this post.

Feeling much better about my quit again, thanks fellers.

Use your network and lean on them as much as you need. You have my digits if you want just ask, this fellow keystoner is willing to help.

Proud to be quit with you brother!

All we can do is post one day at a time, and forget about tomorrow until it comes.

I'm quit and am going to stay quit.

The mind games are tough get to me sometimes.

We all go through tough times. But in those times it is especially important to use those relationships you have hopefully developed. Reach out, call a contact, text one of use. It isn’t the time to retreat and and fight the addiction alone. We ALL failed on our own. Don’t repeat the process. Use the tools and connections you have from being here at KTC. There is strength in numbers. Brotherhood+Accountability =Success.

About ut 30 hours into another attempt at quitting.

In my mid 40’s and have been dipping since my 20’s.

My longest attempt was about 6 months.

The last few weeks has been stressful and I was going through two cans of Skoal straight per day. Was usually about a can a day prior.

Maybe it’ll stick this time.

Just highlighting something from your intro that might keep you going and staying involved here...   

He set himself up for failure before he even began. A mindset of "Maybe it'll stick this time" to me says "I'll see how long I can make it but I'm not committed to making this my one and final QUIT". I really hope I'm wrong but the people that are successful here don't hope things stick. We make it happen ODAAT.

I didn't start my quit because I "hoped" it would stick. I quit because I was tired of being a slave to nicotine. It's all about mindset.

Thats a mindset problem. What did you do as a child when shit became boring? You did something else, sometimes those something elses were getting in trouble because you set a pumpkin patch on fire. Other times it was playing with lincoln logs or legos and developing your mind and mindset. Challenge yourself to be better.
I haven't been here for very long, but in this short time, I have been able to witness patterns of people that are getting ready to drop out and (probably) cave. Posting later and later in the day, coming up with reasons that they don't want to post anymore and then POOF they are gone in the wind like a silent fart. Don't be that guy.
1. Mentor a newbie.
2. Start a conversation thread in wildcard.
3. Post on other months.
4. Listen to RAZDs music.

Don't be the silent fart in the wind.

So much all of this^^^. Do something different in addition to posting. All 4 ideas listed by Jbuck are great for strengthening your quit. Make the choice to continue down the path that is working for you

Your quit will get stale if you only consume. At the beginning of our quits, we are focused on ourselves - keeping ourselves quit, making sure we keep our promise, protecting our quits. There comes a point in the process through where it becomes almost necessary to shift part of the consumption to giving back - mentoring new quitters; getting new digits; finding ways to give back to the site and others here at KTC.

Accountability is a two way street. And your quit will benefit greatly if you try to help others. Always keep investing in your quit through other people and the rewards will be tenfold.

Good Morning Thunder Brothers ! we are all nearing our half HOF some are a couple weeks back but i want us all to make sure we tighten down our boot straps.

1: Decide- Decide that the pain and struggle of quitting is enough, and through that struggle you get the greatest gift of all. A nicotine Free life.

2: Plan- Plan what you are going to do on your hard days. Those days where the itch is so strong and your mind is telling you that the quit is just not worth it. A plan for when your crave is more important than your reason. A plan for days or weekends when your standing on the edge and thinking you have it thinking your addiction is cured. Lucky There is a Forum of dick heads some where to help with this plan maybe someone can point you in the right direction.

3: Begin- Begin each and every day WUPPing, begin by taking such a hard addiction off the table for the day. Starting is pretty simple, getting on roll is pretty simple. Begin trusting others that are holding a shield next to you fighting the same fight. Begin believing that you can be Nicotine free for life. And as you begin each day the same way , they same thought process, the same wave length you will be taking another step toward your own freedom.

LTBE Enough Brothers, "if you rest to long the weeds take the garden" always be working on your quit EDD, because when your late to roll or miss a day those weeds grow a little taller. Happy Thursday my Friends


i posted this in my group today hill. apply the 3 points (you hate quitting as much as you hate Dip ) does not sound good to me.
don't let your weeds get high brother man you doing great . Decide quitting is a must , plan to strengthen your quit, begin by changing your mindset. maybe shoot for a year as a goal i hear tough times are coming in that 200 funk. you will need the site and tools to continue on.

Ever hear from @fornesto ?

How's that working out for him I wonder?

Said he would post roll occasionally...

All I hear are crickets

@Hill_Monkey you have found a way to be quit, at least for around 120 days. Isn’t that something to be happy about? You know if you continue to follow the process you will stay quit.

Is this written in tongue in cheek? Maybe sarcastically?

That's how I read it anyway.
