Well,
Here I am at day 99. Wow.
Just wanted to log something that happened Thursday night.
As you guys know my wife has cancer and is going thru chemo. Her hair has fallen out but she is the most beautiful bald woman I have ever seen.

At dinner with the family at a local restaurant an older gentleman walked by on his way out and leaned over to whisper to me. He said "You have a beautiful family and I am praying for you." Just random.

Later the waitress from another table came by (different than the guy who spoke to me) and handed my wife a napkin with a note. The note read:
Hello friend, you don't know me but I felt that God wanted me to tell you that you have a beautiful family, that he is proud of you and that things will be ok.
Inside was cash for two times the amount needed for supper.

Wife was in tears. Happy tears. We didn't need the money but did need the words. It had been a rough couple of days.

We will keep the cash and pay that forward to someone who may need it.
Same for the words of encouragement.

KTC is like the note scribbled on the napkin for us addicts. It is words of encouragement when we need it most.

Stay quit brothers.
Wow. That's quite powerful post. Sending good thoughts to you and your family. I can't begin to imagine the stress and uncertainty, but I will say that your wife sounds incredibly brave and lucky to have you by her side.

Congrats on knocking at the HoF door! Clear eyes and steely resolve all the way.

Well... I am at day 54 and wanted to log in some info.
Had my first dip dream last night. Scared me. Pissed me off. Then I felt something great: resolve, fortitude.
Not gonna lie it did mess up my day and its been rough going all day.

I have found myself not using fake. After about 14 days I found myself wanted to completely divorce myself from the appearance and motions of dipping. Using mints instead.

This brotherhood is second to none. You guys help me every day. Chat is an excellent distractor and place to vent.

If a lurker is reading this: the KTC formula works.

I quit again today.
You are winning my friend. Keep adding the ones Medic.
Good job medic.....proud to be quit with you. Stay strong dude.
spoken like a true quitter that gets it. nice job medic!
There are some things we can't control, brotha. This promise everyday isn't one of them. Proud to quit with you guys!

I re-read your May rage posts, and then yesterdays. Look how far you have come man! Awesome being quit with you today. And yes Raider, you can tell me to eat a dick, I just have to find it first.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Medic, sometimes it is WISE to calm down for a minute. Wind a clock and let everything take its appropriate place. Clear some space in the brain for "Common Sense". School, good. Paying your bills, good. Loving your family, good. Funding the CEO of US tobacco's drinking habit with your health and your families money, BAD. Take some time and calm down your life with a workout, not a jog or a walk, a workout. Push yourself to the limits just once and clear your head. See nicotine for what it is, a waste. It's a waste of time, money, health, and pussy. Yes, pussy, because I can bet you for any single swinging dick out there that could get laid, his copenhagen breath has chased the pussy away. Maybe not every time, but most of the time. Still, some fucker somewhere is paying his electric bill with our addiction. (Yes, I'm an addict, but not a user). If you continue to quit using you will be able to pay your electric bill with your old tobacco bill. It wasn't that much?????? Wait til you get the doctors bill, and the radiology bill, and the chemo bill. get my point. Use some common sense here. Step out of your addicted body for a moment and look down upon yourself and see what is going on. Yes, you are an addict and you will crave, you will rage, BUT........you can clearly see what is going on. You and your family don't need this. Trust Mogul, dude, I"m just like you........I just have the big picture now. and so can you.
that's some good deep shit, brah.
First off, congrats on making the best decision for you and your family. Haven't read from anyone about LIVE CHAT. Feel like you need to vent or get pissed off and yell at someone? That's the place to do it. That's what it's for. Remember, your family didn't make you put that shit in your mouth so don't take anything out on them. It's your fault you're here, not theirs. Come into chat and let it out!!! 'biggun'

Thanks for the wisdom and encouragement guys. Doing well.... no one has gotten it too bad. I realize I am short fused and try to stop before I say something terrible.

Hey medic, nice to meet you in chat.
You have some badass quitter helping you out. Listen to them.
Dipping will not make you smarter or better at studying. Just slow down, breath and concentrate. Use fake chew if you need to just no nic.
You can do this.
PM me if you need anything
