Quote from: flynniej15Day 22 dawns...

Been head down at work - but managed a boys weekend dip free (which my buddy appreciated - no dipping on his new boat or in his house, no spitters to collect on Sunday morning :)


Appreciate those who have reached out to make sure my quit is still going strong (it is) and the words of encouragement
3 weeks in Flynnie! You got this. Proud to be quit with you today brother.

You know what's funny: this weekend I went on a trip with a buddy as well. He's not a dipper and started encouraging me to quit a couple years ago, so his accountability helps. But that being said, it's obviously my choice whether to stay quit or not. If I'd wanted to cave he couldn't stop me.

Well, driving has always been a trigger for me. And spending 12 hours in a car I thought would be tough. I thought about dipping a couple of times to be certain, but never fought a real strong crave during the whole trip. Having a friend there to talk to helped, but what I thought about when I got back home last night was how liberating it was to go on a trip and visit landmarks without having to worry about having supply, having a place to spit, dealing with spitters that were getting full or gross, etc. That addiction owned me and it was such a hassle to do. There will be tough days ahead without doubt but glad to be quit with you today.
We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.

Has tobacco been so kind to you that you should leave it with regret? There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.

Come join us. Come be quit with us. Rather than slowly commit suicide, slowly regain your health. It might hurt at first, but it won't kill you. And once the birthing process is done you'll find yourself a free man. With friends. And health. And wealth. Come drink at the fountain of quit.

Quote from: flynniej15So need to spend a bit less time on KTC at work,  work is now needing to spend more time with me (all the time)

We had a new financial system roll out on 4/1 and still have not closed april, may  getting into June.

As the Revenue Ops mgr this more or less falls on me so I have been on 18 hours days and not sure where the light is at the end of the tunnel..

The good part of that is that I am on day 14 - and have a draw full of fake, but have been too busy to even think about a dip (boy thats a change in habit)

But I am hungry right now and could use a snickers or something....

Happy 2 weeks to me :unsure:
Congrats Flynnie!!

What a blessing that you've been able to be quit for a full two weeks before the job ratchets up a notch. You've had an opportunity to make contacts, engage with people, learn about your quit, and now have the tools to win a day at a time. I quit with you today.

Dude. Proud of you bro. All these little victories make up the big picture of a truly badass quit. Every new experience nic free is AMAZING! You've heard it before but I'll say it again... One day at a time. I think you've got that down man.

Oh... Don't ask Phil to take anything. You don't know what might happen 'crackup'
Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten.

Quote from: flynniej15Day 8 - Was thinking last night as I was out cutting the lawn (no dip / no fake but kinda wanting one) this lot in life stuff is just is not fair... I am an asshole....

(So besides the "that goes without saying" I was specifically thinking on this)

So young girl currently in 7th grade, was in class with my son for years diga w Cancer in 4th grade I think, she lost her leg to it in 5th grade - came back  she was doing alright for awhile, but I heard it was back. This 13 / 14 year old girl Fighting cancer and clinging to life.... I knowingly stuffed a pinch of cancer between my cheek and gum for longer than this poor girl has been alive....and it just feels so wrong - made me think of Evil_won's HOF post - and I think yeah I am an addict  but I guess I am also a douche bag (w/o the tan) for all the effort I put into dipping  trying to hide it and basically saying I am a healthy guy with potential for a long life.. I am married with 3 kids lets see how many years I can miss from your lives with cumlative "nija dipping/ hiding in bathrooms, long ride home etc, and then whatever years get cut off on the back end from this shit - what a dick...

I am QLF - but feeling like an asshole heading into day 9
Well said Flynn, go read my HOF, it hit this morning, title, the ASSHOLE. Keep on quitting.
