Hey Nic Bitch.. you have no right to enter my day 25... What the hell are you doing knocking on my door. Get the fuck out of here! You are out of my body, that's for sure  There is no longer room for you in my mind. I have filled your space with good  wholesome  positive  healthy thoughts. You are no longer welcome here at all. You mean nothing to me. NOTHING!!! do you understand that! You show our stinking ugly face here again  me and the boys are going to beat you the fuck down.. again! You lose.. I win.. Go away  stay away! You've been Gooched!
I'm with Gooch on that!
Each daily victory weakes tha bitch, I'm 96-0 and she is still trying but her voice is getting weaker! My resolve is stronger. I have finally proven that I have balls!

Thanks Guys!  Guess we have to take the good with the bad.. when I am on a pink "no craving" cloud...  I'm going to ride the pink completely out of that bitch!  then spur a little harder for more pink!!! You know if I make it to July 17.. I will have 3,285 days of "quit".. with other shit.. Cocaine  tequila, if i'm honest about it.. no reason to lie to you guys.. you all understand addiction!  Truthfully that 1st entire year was pretty much a bitch! I keep that 1 year token with me at all times.. I never ever want to go through the "suck" of any drug withdrawl again..  I still have drunk dreams on occasion.. rarely do i have coke dreams..Here's some scary shit - tobacco was truly my gateway drug that led me into some very sordid dark and lonely places..I really do not know how old I was when I started chewing.. young!  By 12 i was huffing gas.. by 15 smoking weed..  by 16 drinking and smoking weed.. then on and on until i reached 35 years old  doing an 8 ball of coke and at least a fifth a day  always 1 or more cans of skoal or cope  everyday and always!  I have truly been given the grace to put my entire life back together.. the folks I meet on a daily basis they have no idea  really do not need to have one just how much i have struggled with addiction.. addiction has truly been my one big (enormous) life issue.. tobacco started it... tobacco finished it... it took nearly 9 years after I laid down my last drink to string together more than a few days of quit concerning dip.. i tried and tried... time and again! It happened because of you guys and this site!  I pray I get to keep it again tomorrow.. Believe me when I say it has been the hardest one to break!  Thanks Fellas!  Since 6/11/12 I quit with you guys!
Hey Gooch - right there w you...about 5 years into my other 'quit'.....Addiction is a tough thing, cause if you got that personality type, like me, its one thing or another....I had 'paused' dipping early on into my not drinking, but too much shit to deal with so I continued (I know that is an excuse). And I would always use the tomorrow train of thought...% years later is tomorrow. Hopefully its not too late right?

I am glad to be quit w you.
Meant - 5 Years later is 'tomorrow'. How shitty is that....5 years, what a waste...

Day 24... Free At Last!  no craves today!  Freedom is a very good thing!  Thanks fellas!  Gooch
Don't let your guard down Gooch, that nic bitch is in the background like a tiger lurking and waiting to pounce on us during a weak moment! Each victorious day makes us stronger. The tiger will go for the weak prey. I'm building strong quit muscles with you so the evil nicotine tiger will move on. Your quit is an inspiration to all of us.
I'm on day 178 and the last 2 weeks were the toughest of my quit. Came embarrassingly and scarily close to a cave a few times. Doing fine today but it was tough.

The point is, never let your guard down. This fight is never over. It does get easy though. Most of the time I never even thank about it, just recently did it get tough and it came out of nowhere.

Keep it up.
Remember day 1. Understand freedom. If you do that you will not fail.

Day 23.. not much better than day 22! WTF is goin on here pros?  I am 3 weeks into the shit here..  I have dipped about a half lb of my coffee  hot pepper mix today! peppermints  gum... my jaws are cramping..  Hell yeah I quit with you ladies.. all fucking day and all fucking night!  I QUIT LIKE FUCK!!!
Everyone is different gooch. You need to find your own happy place. Don't expect nirvana by a specific quit day. You will drive yourself crazy waiting for it.

Remember Bubba telling Forrest how many types of shrimp he could make ? Apply the Bubba voice telling you how many funks there are ....funk at 10 days, a late teens funk, a twenties funk, an early 40s funk, a 60's funk, an 85 funk, a HOF funk, a 120 day funk, a 180 day funk, a 220 day funk, a year funk etc etc etc
So in other words, basically everyday. With some days worse than others and some days better than others.



Hang in there gooch.

Edit: Read the latest HOF speech by FinnBarr . Everyone is different.

Just keep quitting like fuck Gooch!

There is a well documented funk in the 20's when your early quit adrenaline wears off and you start to wonder why you spend so much time interacting with a bunch on strangers on the internet. It happened to me and I'm sure it's happened to several others. But it's only a funk and it will pass. Keep truckin on brother, it will get better.

Day 22 this morning... Craving pretty good this morning?? O well.. can't expect to be an addict for nearly 30 years and be over it in 22 days.. I had a dip dream the other night too.. i dreamed I was dipping wasabi!  I love sushi  I swear I was dipping wasabi? felt like skoal.. but it was wasabi? strange huh?
That is weird Gooch....

Whatever it takes to fight off those cravings, anything but nicotine!

You CAN do this, hell you ARE doing it.

One day at a time!
