Hook 'em

[Derk40]

Thought I'd post an update. I'm 63 Days Quit and it feels awesome. Also wanted to share that my little friend who battled Brain cancer put one in the W column last week. She beat cancer and is in remission. Remember that the next time one of you thinks about putting a dip in...Would you dip in front of a 6 year old girl that spent 2 years in a hospital to fight a disease that she did not bring upon herself, but we tried to give to ourselves?

Nic, Cancer, all of it...You can suck it.

Congrats on 63 days brother! Well done. That is great news regarding the cancer!! Keep it up today!

Congrats!!! 30 Days is huge. But it is just the beginning. The only thing that matters is being quit today, brother. Keep on keeping on...

What ^^^^^^ said.

All

Just wanted to say that I am loving this quit. 30 days in and it feels awesome!

Also, went to the dentist today. They can do a scan that checks for cancerous/precancerous cells. I am happy to say that I was clear, and feels good knowing that I'm not putting that crap back in my lip today to change that.

To clarify, I'm not quitting for anyone else. I'm quitting for the following reasons:

1. I don't want to die of cancer. While I can't control what happens to me in the future, I can control if dipping was the cause or not.

2. Self Control - Dipping is a weakness, being a slave to something. I want to take back my self control.

3. Ephesians 5:18 says, "Do not get drunk with wine, but be filled with the Holy Spirit." I draw a parallel here because I think the purpose of this scripture is to say that your mind should be filled with the Holy Spirit and not be in control or weakened by a substance. Nicotine has altered our mind and we look to it for comfort and a myriad of other reasons. I want to look to the One that is actually the Healer and makes all things new rather than have my mind be controlled by nicotine.

Thank you all for the fantastic support. This is day 3 and I woke up feeling a great change in my life. There is so much satisfaction in enduring the pain. I've saved $15 already and I don't feel like I'm having to hide something all day.

Hey Longhorn I'm one day behind you on the daily roll posting (AirbusPilot). Just wanted to give a fellow Texan some support and encouragement. It's pretty cool not worrying about a can. Also being able to "close talk" (Sienfeld reference) again without killing someone with my skoal breath. Quit on brother. I'm right behind you every day.

Quit envy. I too love the pain and embrace this suck. Only because it means I am doing this quit right. We are doing this thing right. Every one of us do this EDD365 keep rocking it Longhorn!

[slug.go]

Thanks for all the support and comments. I'm feeling great on Day 4. No nicotine in the system, I'm purged of its evilness! I'm quit with you all today.

You're rocking it, Longhorn, keep the press on!

You have a great mind set for this place. Keep up the great work, and I promise you it will get better, as long as you quit for today.

Hell to the Yes, bro. Let me know when, and I'll meet you down on Quit Street. Half a block up from FuckNicotine Ave.

I just got out of my chair, kicked it, and yelled HELL YEAH he just said that. Dude, that there is how you quit and it's arguably the most badass statement I've ever read from a newbie.

You have motivation. You have reason. You have attitude. You have desire. You have the need for control and freedom. Let this quit consume you and become you.

[Sh4string]

To me it does not matter what "wakes you up" to all the horror that dipping actually is, what matters is that you woke up and quit. We control very little of our world, but we certainly control whether or not we put that shit in our mouth and poison ourselves. Post roll every damn day, keep your promise for that day, and repeat. I'm proof that it can be done!

Bro... the feeling of a burden being lifted is something we can all preach on. The lying and hiding... it's been too much for too long. Day by day it gets better. Better than you would think possible. Check your Inbox(1) from me...
