Day 112! Not since my soph yr of high school have I gone this long with no dIP, no smokes, no Nic! Looking back on the first couple months makes me realize just how addicted I was to the weed.... I was super irritable, drank WAY to much  was just generally in a poor mood. I thought for weeks it was everyone else being annoying jackasses, now I see it was me!
I'm pumped Nic is out of my system  basically out of my mind, minus random craves that smack me outta no where. I'm pumped because I know I'll NEVER be that asshole again due to Nic withdrawals, just do to my personality. I'm Quit odaat Fo life
That is awesome. Newbies take a look at this post, it gets better and it is so worth it. Press thru the wall of suck like this bad ass quitter did and the reward will be great!

Day 80! EIGHTY days straight without that Nic bitch!! There have been Numerous days/nights where, in the past, I'd have taken that offered drag or dip  not held myself accountable to my quit. This site,  it's members, has given me the tools to be free from Nic's grip.
I have finally learned that I'm an addict  must quit ODAAT. Thankfully, I am still aware of how hard those first couple months of quit are  I know I want no part of that ever again. I still crave daily, but now I know I'm "craving" something I don't actually want! Weird...
QLF today!

Awesome job on 80!
Smokeyg called it an urge in his thread and gave a really good explanation of it that I dont want to try and recreate- I suggest going to his thread and reading it through- I dont think I bumped that one to the front. There's great stuff in there, take a look if you haven't already it will help your quit.

A couple thoughts on Day 50.
1- time really does fly by... I'm stoked it's flying by without chew or cigarettes.
2- once I got past day 30 it was a little bit easier. However,
3- I've had to remind myself daily WHY I quit.
4- I quit for myself, I quit for my health
5- I'm not sure I'd be quit without KTC  Erussell
Honestly, this whole community is helpful, from the original members to the "newbies"... I read story after story all the the time here and I'd like to say "thank you". Keep up the good work all you bad asses....
If quitting nicotine were easy, everyone would do it
I am proud of you Flyby! And I will will be quiting with you in alike period from now with a HOF congratulation. You keep up that quit of yours! And no more missing roll, you post that promise every day with us, your quit is important to us and critical to you! I quit with you every minute of every day brother!

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.

It really is crazy how long that dirty evil bitch HAD ME FOOLED into craving her. I knew for Lord knows how long I needed to stop smoking... I did. Ended up just turning to skoal mint or a prime time cigs instead. Bitched out every time. Years later when I KNEW I SHOULDN'T CHEW EVER AGAIN...I Quit! Sort of, just went back to Marlboros. This stoopid rotation continued from the time I was 15 until I was 30.
Fortunately, I've learned a thing or two from my past "quits". 1st is that I cannot casually use Nic. I now know that if I have even one smoke/chew I'm hooked. 2nd quitting any form is not easy  it's something I have to WORK AT. This evil bitch is readily available everywhere I turn, so I must quit everyday.
I'm extremely thankful for this site  everyone who posts here. Reading stories how Nic has made grown men cry makes being honest here VERY easy. Thanks again  I quit with you today

So on the night of 4 weeks quit I had my first dip dream. Early on I had crazy dreams where I'm wrestling bears n shit which I associated with quitting, but this dream was REAL! I was driving around with friends  the whole time I had a Dip in. I Was telling myself to spit it out, get rid of it now  you'll be ok, that I didn't want it, but for some reason I couldn't spit it out...just kept driving  chewing until I woke up going WTF!... i was pissed I had just fucked up after a month, pissed I needed a new group,  worst of all my days quit was back to 0.
I guess my sub-conscious still really wants a chew. Fortunately, when I'm awake I prefer to quit that dirty shit
Yea my first on was last week and it was terrifying as hell. As real as smashing your finger with a damn hammer. Most realistic dream I have ever had in fact. You keep your bad ass quit going Flyby and yes you are the boss of your brain although that may not stop it from screwing with you lol. I quit with you bro.
in my opinion. dip dreams will strengthen your quit.. use them as ammo and thank effin god it was just a dream.. going back and starting all over.. no thanks.. flyby check out the link on my signature.. I killed that friggin bear 297 day's ago, got one of the claws hanging around my neck.. what one man can do another can do.. peace
Wrestling bears and shit?

THAT. IS. FUCKING....AWESOME!!!!

I want to dream that. Instead I have weird dreams because of HBO and their constant advertising of "Behind the Candelabra". Don't even ask...

I had a "dip dream" the other day. It was dumb.

I was stopping at home because I forgot my driver (I was going golfing, I'm not some rich guy who can't drive himself around).

Anyway, I was about to go into the house when I realized I had a turd in my mouth. My wife can't see that! So...I take the stupid thing out and try to hide it in the cap of my spitter, which was a coke bottle. I couldn't just waste it and spit it INTO the spitter, HELL NO, it was kind of fresh still. So I squish it into that tiny little cap and put it in the cup holder with a piece of paper over it. You know, just in case my wife runs out to look in my car for some odd reason...she wont see it because I have a piece of paper over the cup holder. I'm one smart mother fucker. But then I realize I have a spitter sitting there with no top...OH SHIT, how do I hide that? I know, I will take it and slide it down into the pocket thingy on the back of my passenger seat. My wife won't notice that big bulge if she does come out to the car. Again, pure genius!!!!

Finally, I'm ready to go into the house to get my driver. But wait...I catch a glimpse of myself in the rear view mirror...SPECS!!!! Oh shit, I have nothing to drink for a proper flush, now what do I do???? Duhhh....run over to the neighbors and turn on their hose and start flushing my cakehole of specs. Of course the hose water somehow gets all over my shirt and shorts and I am soaked.

So here I am about to enter the house...soaked to simply get my fucking golf club. How do I explain this to my wife when she asks. As my mind frantically tries to come up with a reason...I wake up.

WHAT A FUCKING MORON.

This may have been a "dream" but I can tell you I have been in similar situations before, JUST LIKE THAT, in real fucking life.

Fuck dip dude. Shit tried to kill me, made me a liar to my wife, made me a bad father, a bad husband, a bad son, a bad brother, and overall just a bad example of how a human being should live.

Dip did not equal euphoria. We ONLY think it did. If it truly did, there would be no reason for us to be here. NONE. If I got a blow job and got to bang Kate Upton multiple times a day (sorry ladies), I WOULD NOT be joining some KKU (Kill Kate Upton) site. I'd wake up every morning at full mast and ready for action.

There's a reason we are here. WE KNOW. We know the damage this shit can and has done and we are tired of it.

WE WANT OUR LIVES BACK.

Take yours back my brother. We are here for you.

Sorry to hijack you shit, but I feel very strongly about this.

Stay Quit!
