Day 109
I promise not to dip today
worktowin 3,931.  I typically used or threw out 1+ tin a day of Kodiak.  When I say threw out, I would use part of the tin and then be convinced that day was the last day, and throw the rest out, only to go to the gas station tail between legs the next day to restock.  So, Dipchit, how much does a tin of Kodiak cost these days?  I'm really not sure, guessing $5 or more?  3,931 X $5 = $19,655 that I've saved since joining this group of winners.  You included.  I think I'll go out for a nice lunch today.

He's a fellow Minnesotan and while I wasn't a Kodiak user, Skoal is about $8-9 a can right now and Cope is north of $10. I've saved ~$32,500 in the 2,713 days I've been quit. Insanity.
I blasted through 2 cans a day sometimes. I won’t do the math… it still hurts.

BUT…

I’m quit.
I dig my freedom.

Day 108.
Feel like shit but it’s better than dipping. I promise not to dip today.

You probably are still stuck in that 70s funk! Mine came on about day 85 and lasted to about day 135, everybody is different ! But one thing I do know is , any body can make it through a day. If you wake up tomorrow that’s another a different day to make a choice to flip the bird to the nic bitch ! But today let your quit be enough .

It’s possible. I had a nice 2 weeks the first half of September but it came to a blunt end on or about the 15th. Been tough since. Hopefully the sky’s clear and the sun comes out and life can start getting better soon.
