Reached the 2nd floor today. It has been long over due and milestones are nice to get to.

Making sure that each day is another day that I live to the fullest, and that means not wasting my time, money and health on a can of mouth cancer ever again.

Thanks for all the support from everyone in my July quit group and the veterans who reached out to me when I caved. I will keep posting and keep quit.
Gratz man, enjoy the day!

Quote from: Malonerton22
Today is 167. I noticed I was starting to become a bit complacent the last week or so. I think after I got past that 156 (while it was a huge weight off my shoulders) that things were going to be different. That, along with the start of football, which I don't even care for all that much other than fantasy, has been a trigger in the past.

I need to remember what it is I am fighting, and how much nic screwed with me before. I was much more impatient, less productive, had less money, was ashamed of ever letting anyone know I did chew and the terrible feeling of my gums the next morning.

With that in mind I am finally going to purchase my HOF coin and keep it with me all the time in my wallet, along with my contract to cave. It is a big step for me, one I did not do in the past, which I should have done before this point.

Let's keep up the quitting guys!
I thought the start of football season would be a trigger for me as well, but thankfully it wasn't. Glad you are past the 156, keep on posting the +1's.

Today is day 155. I was on this day once already, and I know not to take it for granted this time. I know that I am 5 minutes and 5 bucks away from making a stupid decision if I l start dismissing that I have anything to worry about.

I promise not to have to wake up tomorrow on what would have been day 156 to repost day 1 again.

Again, thanks for all of the support especially from Applejack, CBird, MNBen, Osage and all of my former January Killers group and current July Destroyers gang! Let's keep the good times coming.
Gratz M! You've got this quit ... and we've got it with ya! Enjoy the extended weekend bro!
Proud to be in July with you!
Congrats on making a milestone that's personal to you. The killers don't interact much, but your do-over really shook me, and your success this time around is so good to see- I'm always glad when I see you posting up another day.

On day 84 and not looking back. Thanks for all the great support from everyone. I have more contacts than I ever did, and I know it is ODAAT to not waiver. The rest will take care of itself.

Was at a Family Reunion over the weekend and beginning of this weeks, so a lot of driving. That meant filling up with gas and going in to see all those cancer causing little cylinders. If it was not for this site and all of you I think that would have been a problem for me normally. Now I am rolling along.

After hearing about Tony Gwynn and seeing the subject of smokeless tobacco come up again in MLB, I know I made the only choice possible for me to have a long future with my family.


Your new July brothers are with you, Mal.
Quitting strong with Mal
Quitting hard with you today my July Brother!

Keep it strong Mal....Day 84 is awesome, but you have to keep your eye on the prize. I've seen others get careless as they near their HOF date..The nic bitch starts whispering BS in their ear again...Continue to use your tools and quit group/brothers/sisters....2 weeks, 2 days to a really great feeling!

Proverbs 18:2

"A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion."


A Quit Plan: Do you have one?


CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit.
After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco. SportDad 1/13/05

Warm summer sun, shine kindly here;
Warm southern wind, blow softly here;
Green sod above, lie light, lie light.-
Good-night, dear heart, good-night.

Be silly, be honest, be kind
