Well the update on my friend is not a good one.  Tests have confirmed cancer in the throat.  He has had a feeding tube inserted and the diagnosis is he has a year at best.  This has been crushing news for family and friends.   

His background was smoking and dipping.  He quit years ago, but I don't know how many.  I would guess 5, probably not even close.  It don't matter, he smoked and dipped for years.   

I told you of my mother in law who died of lung cancer and another family friend who died of throat cancer. Both of them smoked for years.  Mother in law quit a few years before her death, but same thing applies.  She smoked for years. 

For those of you that have never read my signature line read it now.  All of this is why it's there.  Don't ever let the poison fool you.  It causes cancer, bottom line. Don't tell me it don't, I will give you an ear full of truth.  I will not sugar coat it.  The poison will kill you, don't think it won't.  It does only one thing well,,,,,    TAKE!!! 

Say it with me now,,,,,,,    I HATE THE POISON!!  Glat to be quit with all of you poison haters.
I am very sorry about your friend srans.

I am hating the poison right beside you today. Fuck dip, fuck smoking, fuck NRT, fuck e-cig water vapor bullshit, fuck Phillip Morris and big tobacco, fuck em all.

Quit with you all day man!!
Sorry 2 hear about that diagnosis. I am hating that poison with u today. I am standing by u in this quit brother. Stay strong.
A good hatred for UST and the products they sell will help you often in your quit. I despise everything about them all... It is indeed and evil weed.

STAY QUIT

As loud as I can scream I say with Srans " I HATE THE POISON glad to be quit with all u poison haters"!!!
sorry about your friend.. it brings the realism to all of this. the choices we make have consequences. I choose to be quit with all of you, and yes, I hate the poison..
we choose our battles.. the battles we do fight, be aware that they have to be, but passion rules? James Hetfield

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.

Thanks for everyone's posts. All we can do at this point is remain optimistic and pray. Tests take time and a lot can be done nowadays. I'm glad I'm quit right now.

Another dark day.  I was informed yesterday that another friend of mine has a tumor in his throat.  This is the third time in less than a year that I've heard devastating news.  My mother in law died less than a year ago,,  lung cancer (smoker for years).  A friend from church died around the same time, throat cancer (smoked for years).  Both of these individuals were in their 70's. 

Now i  have a good friend who isn't even 50 that possibly has cancer in his throat.  Your first question.  Did he use??  Yes, but he quit years ago.  As a matter of fact he was one of the ones that inspired my quit.  He was one of the ones I couldn't wait to tell I finally had tossed the poison.  Actually all these individuals in this post inspired my quit in one way or another. 

I now have a questions that only one can answer??  Did I have one to many?  Did I quit one day to late?  My friend quit the poison years ago,,  can he please have one more chance???
Srans I'll pray for you and your friend. That sucks.

That's something even in my youthful quit that I think about. It's possible that any one of us had one dip too many. But you know what? Regardless of whether he has cancer or not, I bet your friend is still glad he quit. His quality of life has been through the roof since he did.

My heart breaks for you guys. Know that we're here to support you in any way.
My Prayers going to your friend too. I know the risk I put myself into with my addiction, but I am glad I am quit anyway.

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.

Oh Shit! I'm Sorry to hear that! Those are questions that are hard to have to look at. When I first quit I constantly thought about going back to chew because I figured that I had already gone too far and even if I didn't have cancer now I would probably get it. But at the end of the day you are healthier today then you were 4 months ago! And knowing that today you do NOT have cancer is worth the battle. I hope no quitter ever gets cancer, Some people who never chew or smoke get cancer in the throat! You made a good choice when you quit. Can't worry about what MAY come in the future. But you can swing the odds more in your favor! And that you have done! I'm sorry about your friend and I am free if you need anything!

OMG SRANS are you ok? You are right there is only one that knows if we quit in time. All we can do is keep in mind that we are quit and live each day one day at a time. We can promise those who have left before us to live each day for them also. What is going on with your friend is not good what is good is that he has you in his corner...

Day 122. Started my vacation yesterday. The Poison a non factor so far. Fishing, pool,drive,walking, running and morning coffee on the porch. Haven't gave the poison much thought at all.

I remember when I first started my quit that I wondered how I would make it everyday without the poison. Now I know that was the poison thinking for me. I have conquered a lot of stuff during the last 122 days, now I can add vacation to the list.

Been wondering how i'm going to post while i'm on vacation. It's hard to get internet in some location. NOT!!!!!! I got to many numbers from to many of my quitting buddies. Not a problem. I know better that using that lame excuse!! I quit with all of you today.
Well done Srans, enjoy your time off. You'll enjoy it even more without the brown slime. Send me a text if you need me to post roll for you.
