Day 247

Labor Day WeekendÃ,…the end of summerÃ,…the beginning of fallÃ,…football season. Too many triggers for me this past couple of days. I really struggled this weekend. The craving never really went away for me. I was sitting on my patio last night thinking about itÃ,…and what I realized is really scary.

Before finding KTCÃ,…I would have bought a tin this past weekend. There is no doubt in my mind.

Before KTCÃ,…I never realized that I was an addict. I would have bought a tin thinking one is ok. I would have thoughtÃ,…just this weekend. I would have thoughtÃ,…come TuesdayÃ,…I would just go back to quit. That is what I did in the past and it is why I never quit.

After finding KTCÃ,…this is what I knowÃ,…

Ã,•IÃ,’m an addict
Ã,•One is never enough
Ã,•IÃ,’m quit

I have a different mindset. There is no justification for it. IÃ,’m done and so happy about it. Do I miss it sometimes? Yes. Do I hate nicotine and everything that went with it? Yes. Can I foresee myself going back to the tin? No fucking way. Why do you ask? I love being quit and make quitting a priority each day. Posting roll isnÃ,’t a chore for me. Posting roll is a way to make quitting a priority each day. I have worked way too hard for my freedom and IÃ,’m not about to piss it away.

Keep killing it in here WW! Don't ever give her an inch!

Day 192...Posted in my April group.

Anybody else watch the baseball ASG last night? They will be calling the NL batting champ award the Tony Gwynn award. Sadly he died from cancer caused from dipping in 2014. His family was on hand but I keep thinkingÃ,…that totally sucks for his family. How sad. DonÃ,’t you think they wish Tony was there himself accepting that honor? I sure do. One of the positivesÃ,…His death caused a bunch of people to quit and it just reinforced my quit last night. Never in my lifetime would I expect to get an honor like that but just in case I doÃ,…I want to be around to witness it. Maybe one of my children will get an award like thatÃ,…Who knows but I want to be there in the flesh if they do.

Day 157

IÃ,’m a major sports fan. I love watching it on TV. IÃ,’m from Philly so when any of the local teams are playing, IÃ,’m watching or following. I love watching March Madness, Golf Majors and Soccer too. So last night I get home from work and IÃ,’m thinkingÃ,…this is perfectÃ,…MenÃ,’s national soccer team is playing tonight. I get this happy feeling come over me. I also get a crave from my old friend. It was a weird crave this time. In the past I would get this major crave that wouldnÃ,’t go away. Last night it was more a whisper. She was sayingÃ,…remember me? I used to be by your side during these fun timesÃ,…just me and you on the sofa. It wonÃ,’t be the same without me. To get past these momentsÃ,…I go back to the minute to minute thing that I did in the beginning of my quit. I had 3 hours till game time so I just keep myself busy and tried not to think about it anymore. By the time the game started, I really didnÃ,’t even think about again. ODAAT really works. Live in the moment. DonÃ,’t worry about the futureÃ,…even if you are only talking a few hours. Thinking too far ahead has killed too many of my quits in the past. When I say live in the momentÃ,…you also have to be prepared for the future though. Just donÃ,’t dwell on it. Have a plan in place for those times that you think it might be too much.

On a side noteÃ,…this is the longest I have been quit in 20 years. No way IÃ,’m going back and starting over. IÃ,’m doing everything to protect this Quit.

Congrats Walter - on the win AND the side note that you are nicotine free longer than ever before. F your old "friend" though - it was the nic bitch and she was there to try and suck you in with lies. Good riddance.
I quit with you today! CJ

Great Win WW! Thanks for your dedication to this site! See you on roll tomorrow!

I have had many of those moments myself WW. As you said, they tend to pass much more easily now, but even 300+ that feeling still sneaks up on me every once in awhile when I'm fired up for something. Then I remember why I'm doing this.

Day 149 post...I'm feeling really great lately.

I wanted to share some wins from this past weekend.

I took last Thursday and Friday off to get some yard work done. It was the 1st time putting mulch down without dip. I thought of it a couple of times but just went back to work and forgot about it. Felt great to not have the raw gums from dipping all day longÃ,…just the sore muscles though. Getting older really sucks.

My in-laws have a beach house in NJ. We go down about 5 times during the summer for long weekends. Memorial Day is opening weekend. I was a ninja dipper. In the past I would have to plan to make sure I had enough tins to last the weekend. I would have to sneak off to get my fix. When relaxing on the beach with the family I would get ancy to get back to the house so I could get my fix. Going out with the family at night was a no go so I could get my fix. Family time I hated because I couldnÃ,’t get my fix. This past weekend was perfect. We went on bike rides, out for ice cream and spent the whole day on the beach without the need to get my fix. I am so much more relaxed and enjoying life. I love being NOT a slave to the tin anymore.

We can not truely enjoy the highs with out the lows. The lows suck big floppy donkey dick, but it makes those awesome moments 1000x's better.

Walter - this is a fantastic post and an example of how quitting can change the way you live your life with freedom and integrity. I regularly experience moments like your memorial day myself. And I sometimes catch myself regretting the moments lost instead of celebrating the freedom of today and the promise of tomorrow. Thanks for sharing this.

A fucking Men!

Victories are great Walt. They get sweeter as time goes on. Keep this bad ass quit of yours up. Your dedication to KTC quitters is certainly appreciated.

Smells like a nice weekend of victories brah!

Keep these victories tight to your chest as you move forward WW. Coming back to read these victories are good medicine for the funks. The fuck-its are real, but like you said, just make sure you get your name on roll in the mornings. With that step out of the way, you know you won't be able to bring yourself to that c-store wall of death. ODAAT is just as important now as it was in the first two weeks, but just for a different reason. It evolves. Embrace the evolution and you will continue to grow your quit.

A post from yesterday (day 135) and one from today from my April group...this post HOF phase is tough.

IÃ,’m reaching my breaking point with quitting. IÃ,’m thinking more and more of throwing in the towel and saying fuck it. IÃ,’ve been dealing with tension in my jaw since I quit. Some days it is ok and other days it just plain sucks. I find myself romancing the dip again and not hating it. Some days I find myself longing for what I think are happier times when I used to dip. I know this feeling will past but when? 90% of my days are awesome and I really love being quit. It is that 10% that just doesnÃ,’t want to go away. I donÃ,’t have major craves but more of a longingÃ,…a sadness. My brain is telling me that those times when I dipped where awesome and you will not have that much fun again. IÃ,’m writing this out to show and tell myself that this longing and sadness is all BS. It will get better. It is another one of Nic Bitches attempts at controlling me. It just plain sucks though.

IÃ,’m not going anywhere. When I left work yesterday to drive homeÃ,…I thought about dip and what would happen if I bought a tin. In the pastÃ,…after an extended breakÃ,…and I would get the fuck its and my thoughts turned to buying a tin. I would get this rushÃ,…this highÃ,…like a drug and couldnÃ,’t wait to get to the store and buy one. YesterdayÃ,…nothingÃ,…no high or rush. Just utter disappointment if I bought one. I also thought about the promise that I made on roll. No way could I let you guys down. My word means something to me. My thoughts then turned to maybe tomorrow? But that didnÃ,’t go very far eitherÃ,…becauseÃ,…we quit today and worry about tomorrowÃ,…tomorrow. So then I thoughtÃ,…why this funk? What is happening or not happening that IÃ,’m dealing with this shit since day 120 or so. I think I need a vacation from quitting and work. I canÃ,’t vacation from quitting though so IÃ,’ll just take some time off from work. I havenÃ,’t had a day off from work, other than company holidays, since December. That is way too longÃ,…I need Ã,“MEÃ,” time. I have some vacation days coming up next week. I canÃ,’t wait. Let's QLF today.

Good medicine White...
It is a battle, but a hill worth dieing on.
Vacation is good.

Keep posting, keep sharing, keep winning.
It gets better.

I don't put too much stock in the funk time line that's been laid out. I think it sets up a fear of sorts and you can work yourself up to it. Not to say we don't get 'em! I sure dealt with a few!

But... that post HOF one is freaky and right on the money for most. It's pretty damn weird! I thought a lot about it at the time and really... it's a bit of a let down that hits you. You just spent an enormous amount of energy reaching that 100 day milestone that we pump and pump and pump. I mean... everything you had. I think it was right around 130 where I hit that wall you're at.

Now what!?!

I think we get a glimpse of the long haul and, despite knowing better, we get all reminiscent for that shit.

How f'd up is that!?!

Anyway... power on brother. You know what to do. I'm at 1,129 today and can tell you... that shit pretty much goes away. You're about to hit some awesome stretches and, man, it'll be great. So great.

Keep rockin'...

WW you're a keeper! Just love every damn second you're quit! You speak the truth which very few others will. I can honestly say after 500 days I'm having a string of 2 or 3 days I don't even think about dip or have a crave and by God it's the best feeling in the world! Quit on you badass! Keep telling it like it is because very few have the balls to do it!

Funks Suck
Quit Doesn't.
You are full of wisdom even in your funk times.
Love to come read you.

Issues and life come and go, and a dip won't fix that. I wasn't NAFAR until 140-150 myself - it just clicked one day that I will never use nicotine again, in any form. But I used to think of everyone I'd let down, from my July group, to the other groups that I posted with, to my family and co-workers, and most importantly myself.

My move was to send out silly text at those times, usually to 5 quitters, just to get a reply. Before I knew it, they were discussing what "heavy meat quit" means, and what I was sending it to them for - it always got me laughing and the crave moved on.

I can text you a LBBQ if you want, heavy metal from Wales rules!

I can honestly say after 500 days I'm having a string of 2 or 3 days I don't even think about dip or have a crave and by God it's the best feeling in the world! Quit on you badass! Keep telling it like it is because very few have the balls to do it!
