Just reading through your (badass) intro and saw this sad post. Prayers going up.

Just one and you will be back to where you started, and where you started was desperately wishing you were where you are now.

What a day....

- we have a venue picked out for our wedding.... We really like it. The only available dates are weekends I do not have my sons. I emailed their mother, and she won't give me an answer. She keeps putting it off. I'm trying to be optimistic. If the answer was NO, she would have just said that, right???


- Found out a first responder and friend had a stroke this weekend. She is battling cancer for the 4th time. It's in her brain and lungs. They have her on hospice care. We are scrambling to make sure arrangements are set up for the fire department. She has always been a dear friend, her kids have babysat my kids.

- Found out a former fire chief from the area, who was also one of my instructors passed away yesterday....

I'm just emotionally drained. I kinda want to go home and curl up into a ball...

My quit is solid. Had I not posted today, I'm sure I would have went to the store and picked up something with nicotine. Probably a cigar, because the addict in me would have said "it's not the same"

It sucks JeffB caved. It sucks he has to start over from Day 1... But I'm glad today I am reminded of how big the small step of posting roll is to my life.


Thank you all for quitting with me every damn day!!
Man, I can't think of anything worse than sucking on a cigar. They always made my clothes smell like shit and my mouth taste like shit the next morning. Can't believe that I used to actually PAY for them. :P

Hang in there batdad, quitting and winning is always better than failure. :)

One year ago, at this very time, I spit out my last dip. I had enough of putting a dead plant in front of everything else. I wondered if I could make it one day without nicotine. IÂ’ve been doing the same thing for the last year.

Thank you all for the support! I know I wouldnÂ’t be quit if I didnÂ’t put my screen name on roll every day.

You saved my life, and for that I am greatful.

Thank you all!!!
Congrats, batdad! I read every one of your posts in batdad's voice. Lol.
