I must say, I have a friend over and we're throwing back some brews. It's a weird feeling to not have a dip in, but it's a new experience for me to get used to. I will not give in. QLF!!!
Just be careful. Alcohol can really play a powerful role in increasing that craving and helping the NB put a number on you.

You will have a lot of "new" and "firsts" with your quit....

Two weeks!!!  I'm so thankful for the people here who have helped me along the way.  I still need to quit EDD, but it's easier with folks like you in my corner!
Atta Boy!!! Keep adding those +1's.
BAD ASS! Two weeks is something to be proud of. Keep quitting one day at a time and you will have many more proud days.

It looks like you have got it down. Congrats. However, do not become complacent; the nic bitch is a sneaky little whore. She will try to get you to celebrate milestones with a chew. Always have a plan.

1.What are you gonna do when something really shitty happens?
2. Who are you gonna text/call to help get you through a situation?
3. What are you gonna do when you cant get a hold of someone to help?
4. Did you print out the caver's contract and put it in your wallet?
1. I plan to call/text someone who has been supporting me in my quit to get me through said shitty time.
2. I've been talking to Mantelope on a daily basis via text. We've established a pretty decent friendship and we're supporting each other's quits.
3. I will remind myself of the struggles I have already overcome and will not give in to the nic bitch. I have come too far in the past 13 days to throw it away.
4. I did print it out and it resides in my wallet. I've not had to pull it out to remind myself yet, but I've heard about the rough spot around 14 days and if I need to do so, I'll read the contract and again remind myself how far I've come and how I'm going to continue to QLF EDD.
Good shit bro
Monster... You need another number to support your quit.... Shoot me a pm.

Quit on.

You may not necessarily need the support, but others most definitely do. Be a shining beacon for others. Blaze the path for them to follow!!!

For anyone interested in my background and what led me here, I just made my first blog post on quit4today:

Go easy on me; it was my first blog post.
Nice job on the blog post, dude. Well written and thoughtful. I can relate with your work situation. I'm a shift supervisor at a correctional facility where almost every male staff member chews. Like you said, the stress of some of the things we deal with causes more people to use nicotine. My quit has been going pretty well, but at work I'm faced with triggers constantly. Everywhere I look someone is dipping. I'm just gonna do the only thing we can do. Quit again every morning. I'm proud to have great quitters like you to share the experience with.
Proud to have people like you beside me in the quit, too. I have a state correctional facility in my first due at my full time job, so even when my co-workers aren't using tobacco/nicotine, if I get a call there, I see it in those employees...

Day 13 of your quit:  Here are your quit statistics in the last 13 days.

You vs. Nicotine: 13 - 0
Posting roll: 100% 13 for 13
Message posts: 108 (average 9 per day)
Personal Quit blogs: 1
Respect earned: 17,000+ quitters

Monster, this is how you QLF.  This is how you own a quit…posting roll, building accountability, building support, being active.  Newbies, somewhat newbies, somewhat vets, and vets, this here is a guy to watch.  Anyone looking for some motivation, see this guy.  Inspirational.
Bumpsky!
Steak and Doc:

Thanks for that. Legit. I'm glad that you see me as a potential inspiration to people. People like you guys have been an inspiration to me by encouraging me through the last 13 days.

Thanks again!
