Do I miss the feeling  taste of dip in my mouth? Yes.
Dude... I'm gonna be a dick here. If I'm overthinking it, well, so be it.

We talk a lot about mindset for a reason. It's a gigantic component in our fight against this addiction. That sentence I've highlighted is telling me yours still isn't right, bro! You absolutely must stop romanticizing what you "think" you miss. Until you develop a heathy level of hate/disgust for that shit... you're just spinning your wheels until you cave again.

For real.

I'm at 1,015 today. Yes... I get the random craves. I mean, c'mon, I abused myself for 25 years. A mere 1,015 days isn't going to heal the scars I inflicted. BUT... the mere thought of buying, packing, pinching, and then stuffing that shit in my face makes me nauseous. Like a physical blow of illness and, thank God! I hate what that shit made me... and made me do. Never. Again.

Be wary, bro. Don't give lip service to fredom... it's too precious.
Freedom. It is so hard to attain. Quite honestly, at ~130 days it is hard to understand or grasp.

Shame. Cancer. Waste. Hiding. These are easy to grasp. These are what you have lived over the past few months/years of your life. These are what you are currently missing out on. You miss the taste of tobacco? I sure as shit don't. Some dude at work spit in his trashcan last week and I smelled it and it almost made me sick. When I got done with him and his boss, I'm sure I won't smell that from the trashcan again. It is a disgusting, nasty thing. Drool running down your face. A lip that looks like those whacked out Africans. There is no positive.

You miss the taste? Go buy some smokey mountain and chew away. It won't give you cancer and in a little while when you realize how lame the whole thing is you can just throw it out... cause you won't be addicted.

My 2 cents.

Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

Day 136,

I feel great. This keeps getting easier and easier. Do I miss the feeling  taste of dip in my mouth? Yes. Do I like the feeling of freedom knowing I am no longer a slave to a drug that kills thousands of people each year? Let me put it this way, what isn't there to like about it. I'm saving money, I feel healthier, I don't have to hide it from anyone anymore, I don't have to go out of my way to spend money on something that'll eventually kill me. This feeling of relief and freedom is unexplainable. Those of you who haven't already, should kill the can. You don't know what you're missing.

8 days left until I reach the hall of fame for the second time. In my quit I'm only half way there. I never wrote a hall of fame speech when I hit the hall with June 2015. For me 100 days isn't my first goal, 184 days is. That being said on day 184 is when I hit the hall in my mind, that's when I will write my first HOF speech.
One day at a time, One day at a time! That's the goal. Everything else is a bonus! Quit on
Listen to Pab GB - don't think about 184, 1084 or 10,084. Are you quit today? Build that accountability and have all your tools ready.
Keep kicking ass GB. As you've heard many times before, I would give my left nut to go back and do what you're doing.
