Thought: I remember thinking everyone that was addicted to chewing had to have a truck. After I came here I found a lot of my thoughts about chewers were fallacies. I didn't realize how many doctors, lawyers, store clerks, officers, firefighters and I could go on, on and on. It was eye opening to see that even a man in a Hyundai could be addicted to the poison like I was. I recently seen a picture of a few quitters together and sure, there was a couple that had that chewer look I had so vividly outlined in my head. A couple of them did not fit my chewers profile at all. I would have had to take a second look if I would have ever seen them in person chewing. I would have never guessed they were just as addicted as I was. In my eyes I fit the mold perfectly. I could not quit because I was born and to chew. I was suppose to chew, it was my destiny. HOW SAD!

It don't matter who, where you work, how much money, what kind of car you drive and what you wear. The poison enslaves all walks of life.

Good news! We can all choose freedom today. None of us are special! We never had to use, it was OUR CHOICE! We weren't born to chew. It was up to us to take those chains off. Glad to be quit with all of you today.
This is gospel. I am a CPA, who chewed in my office. I tended to growl at my clients when they came in w/o an appointment, mainly because I had a fatty in. And if they got past my secretary, they were greeted by a fool with a paper towel in hand for the spit. Or a wet shirt because I had to dump the wad ASAP and made a mess.

Just another lesson in freedom. Great post brother.
Stop making fun of my Hyundai!!!

Hahaha
Nice Srans. I am waiting for Hyundai to come out with a 3/4 ton Diesel.
True. The poison will enslave anyone who chooses to use it. I am choosing not to use it all day. I don't drive a truck, but I look like I should...

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Day 435. Why did I wait for well over 25 years to quit? Damn!

I was going to write a few words to explain how things are on this day.

Just read the first line again. It pretty much says it all. Thanks pbrain. You got me fired up today with your post.
Thanks man...it means a lot that you are saying my post helped your quit today. We are all in this together . I'll quit with you anytime.

Same reason I used for 38 years and other quitters did it as long or longer. Because we simply were not ready to admit to ourselves we were weak-assed addicts and wanted to quit. Same reason so many who join here don't make it and many younger guys don't make it. Because you have to want it bad enough to make it a priority. Every day. Quit on Srans, every day.
Fish, eat, sleep. Repeat.

On day 1 it seemed like it was going to be complicated. I figured i never would enjoy my life again.  I had to put my trust in what others were telling me.  I had to believe that after time things would get better and i would not feel as though i had little to look forward to. 

Make it today and we'll worry about tomorrow when it gets here
I've come to appreciate this idea more  more.....

Thx for sharing.
Great words SRANS. Simple, yet profound. Words of wisdom to be sure.
Wish I had a bumper sticker or fridge magnet that said that.
Quit since 1/23/14

Thanks for the congrats gentlemen. Someone sent a text and congratulated me and asked how i made it this many days?

My answer was no different today then yesterday. I keep posting roll daily and the days keep adding up. This is not rocket science.

On day 1 it seemed like it was going to be complicated. I figured i never would enjoy my life again. I had to put my trust in what others were telling me. I had to believe that after time things would get better and i would not feel as though i had little to look forward to.

Make it today and we'll worry about tomorrow when it gets here. Today might not be that great, but eventually TODAY will be worth it.

Congrats on reaching the 4th floor bro!  Proud to be battling in the trenches with you today.  ODAAT.  Quit on!
That's right, many of us behind you tying to put our steps exactly in the tracks you leave. Following you brother! Congrats.
Badass, right there! Rock on Shawn!
Srans,
What can I say but bad ass and I get to be the first to give you these 'BanDog'
Keep leading the way!
Congrats!!!
nice work, keep it up brother!
Way to go! You're a pillar of quit to many of us- keep it going!
DAMN!!!! YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAN!!! AND AN INSPIRATION. I AM GLAD PEOPLE LIKE YOU LEAD THE WAY!
FULL MOON WEEK HERE ON KTC!

There have been brothers returning in flocks after caving. At least 2 after HOF. One after 800+ days... that one came back with a reason of caving because he was driving on slick roads. WTF?

Then we have a man like SRANS. For those of you new to the site, who are experiencing the madness of this full moon week in June 2014 - it would be worth your time to read his intro. Today is day 400 for him. 400 days of rock solid quit. Did he struggle at first? Hell yes! Did he stick with the plan? Every damn day! When SRANS gives his word, we all know that he means it.

He might live in Florida, but if this man decides to drive on slick roads, he won't cave. He gives his word, pays it forward and backward everyday, and keeps racking up wins.

You wanna know how to quit - you wanna win? SRANS is the man with the plan.
Congrats on reaching the 4th floor!

People like you keep reminding me that this is doable!
Way to go srans. How's the view from the 4th floor? Save me a spot. Though I will never catch you, I am proud to follow in your footsteps. Even if you do live in Florida.
You continue to inspire me.
Quit on, Brother!
Brother your quit has been tested hard, life has happened to you a few times and yet you remain quit, stoppers could learn a lesson from this man!

Congrats Srans!!
Thanks for everything Srans. Keep doing what you do! Congrats.
