Quote from: walterwhite500 Days. A day I didnÃ,’t think was possible when I first started. I would see other quitters with big numbers and thinkÃ,…holy shitÃ,…that will be forever to get there. What I didnÃ,’t realize was that the formula is really simpleÃ,….ODAAT. It might be cliché but it really works. Just take it one day at a time and you will succeed. Want proof? Look at me. I was a pansy ass that always got derailed from quitting because I always thoughtÃ,…no way I could not do something in the future without dip. So I would then go buy tin and waste months to years before trying to quit again.

500 days agoÃ,…I put my name on roll and decided to finally quit. It was one of the best decisions that I ever made. I havenÃ,’t regretted that decision. IÃ,’m lucky and very thankful for KTC. Thanks to all of you who give back and help new quitters. Without youÃ,…I wouldnÃ,’t be quit.

And donÃ,’t worry...IÃ,’m not going anywhereÃ,…at least for today.
That's awesome stuff WW, congrats on your 500!

Quote from: walterwhiteDay 402...

Today I had the worst craving I have had in a long time. My son is dealing with the stomach bug. Yesterday he stayed home by himself. Today, my wife asked if I could stay home with him. I said yes and my first thought...I can dip all day long and nobody would know. That thought turned into a full blown attack. It felt like it lasted forever. Even at over 400 days...that nic bitch sure can swing a mighty punch. If it wasn't for KTC and reminding myself daily that I'm an addict by posting roll...I do think I would have rewarded myself with a dip today. Thinking just today I will use and tomorrow I will go back to being quit. That plan never worked out in the past. How stupid would I have been?

I can't remember the last craving I had before this. I have had thoughts before but nothing that really had me going. Since October...My quit has been really easy. I still think about dip all the time. These thoughts are more...I'm so glad that I'm finally quit. I'm so glad this isn't last year where I was struggling daily with craves and fighting for my freedom. Everyday that I'm quit is a great day. Since quitting my life and attitude has really improved.
Thanks for keeping it real. We need to hear that guys at 400 still get hit by major cravings so that it doesn't catch us by surprise when it happens to us.
Similar to your feelings I too am faced with this challenge every time my wife leaves the house for an extended period of time. It was a way for me to enjoy some alone time, a simple pleasure, a reward. What dip really did was turn me into a lier, a cheat, and a hypocrite everyday. I haven't found a replacement, but I have stopped looking since I'm ridding my life of using various substances that bring no good. It's very hard, every single time, but I find the strength. I hit a milestone today and have done a lot of reflecting. WW you were a major factor introducing this place as a no bullshit place for getting it done. I couldn't have done it without KTC and your representation making this place great. Thanks.
Ok I'm gonna go ahead and put this here, I wasn't because I was ashamed. Step out of my truck, big fresh dip just spit out laying on the ground and the bitch actually tried convincing me to pick it up! Mind you I'm very much a hand washing germaphobic! But I must say for a split disgusting second it was real. Now I said that to remind everyone 775 days later that bitch will never give up! And know I would never have done that, I would have went and bought a can though had it not been for ktc! Never cured but definitely thankful for ktc!
Jeez Pab. THats right it just shows we're never cured! WW Congrats brother on your accomplishment of 400. Proud to quit with you EDD

Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

Quote from: walterwhiteOne year quitÃ,…day 368

I thought it would feel different at 1 year. I donÃ,’t want to sound like a party pooper but I didnÃ,’t wake up like a kid on Christmas morning. Maybe it has to do with having a head cold or maybe IÃ,’m just maturing in my quit. I was hoping to have something really profound to say. Maybe something that you would read and thinkÃ,…holy shitÃ,…this dude is bad ass. But noÃ,…I got nothing.

IÃ,’m cruising right along in my quit. I donÃ,’t really have craves anymore. I might get a crave once every couple of weeks. It goes away really fast though. I havenÃ,’t had the funk in many months. IÃ,’m really enjoying my quit. I have been through many of the things that I did with dipÃ,…now without it. I was excepting more problems with Thanksgiving and Christmas but I had no issues. I was really happy to spend time with the family and not have to worry about getting my fix.

There are things that IÃ,’m working on to make me a better person. I wrote about these things before and I think IÃ,’m making progress. My life is at a better place. IÃ,’m much happier. IÃ,’m not living with a dread over my life. IÃ,’m finally free. I never thought I would feel this good from quitting. Early onÃ,…I wondered if I would ever get excited about an event without dip. Now I excited about the event and doing it dip free. That is really cool.

Most days I feel like helping out and other daysÃ,…I wonder how long will I do this? Do I really need to post roll for the rest of my life? Do I really need to be posting in a new group and offering to help a new quitter? These thoughts keep creeping into my brain. I think that is why people leave KTC. They are finally quit. Their daily battle is over. They start to think about the future and they donÃ,’t want to post roll for the rest of their life start to creep in. I also donÃ,’t want to post roll or commit to something for the rest of my life. That is way too scary. I have no idea what tomorrow will bring. What I found is that if I just post roll today all these other issues will work out. Without KTCÃ,…I might be quitÃ,…with KTC IÃ,’m quit. IÃ,’m forever grateful to those that have helped me. Without you being here each dayÃ,…KTC doesnÃ,’t work.
Sounds so familiar...i had to go back and read what i had written in July on my 1 year. Trippy man.
Im so glad you are here....so fortunate to have had you a part of my quit thank you.
I hinted at this in my quit group tonight. What if we all left and no one posted roll? We'd all just be out on our own knowing that we should stay quit but all accountability would be gone. Posting roll takes a minute. Posting support for someone who is just starting means that we vow to stay quit while that new person gets on their feet. It is a powerful statement which is why making that commitment keeps us here. Quitting here is more freedom than burden. :)
