Reading your intro made me think back to the beginning of my quit 2042 days ago. My little boy asked me to quit at his baseball practice and I threw away that tin and haven't looked back since! Way to go mang(Tony Montana) voice lol. Glad to be quit with you!

Today is my 120 or 4th month of Quit. Thinking back to those early days, an acronym helped me many a dark moment...GDTBA or Great Day To Be Alive. For me, there is a story behind the saying. September 22nd, 2014, my Assistant Superintendent lost his life in a motor vehicle accident. He was 26 years old with his entire life yet to live. He was a beacon of energy and light, and lived his life to the fullest each day. Hell, an old fart like me quietly lived through his exploits! This motto was one he took serious, serious enough to have tattooed on this inner bicep...from arm pit to elbow. Knowing he was gone and my addicted ass was still ticking, I thought of that motto and it helped push through many a tough time.

So, Michael, thanks for being a huge part in my quit...still touching lives.

Approaching HOF, I sit at 99 days quit. Unlike most I have encountered, I chewed Cope for 22 years and never once stopped or attempted a quit. This is my first, and will be my only, quit. I will always be an addict, but I can now process how life is free of nicotine, craves, and anxiety. The anxiety was brutal!

Passed a big test tonight. I coach HS baseball, and by the way we are loaded...stay healthy and could make a deep run in the state tournament...have 4 kids going D1 lead by a RHP going to Vanderbilt. Anywho, we had our first offseason workout since I quit. Took a mouth full of seeds, and had more fun than ever at a practice! NO worries about the kids seeing the pack job. Our outfield coach, ironically, quit 30 days back as well. Heres to a Nic free baseball season in 2016.

Putting the final touches on my first dipless Christmas in 22 years. The combined ages of my kids = the years i fucking slaved. I can't tell you how emotionally relaxed I was today. John Polito (whyquit.com) talks of the mental calm after quitting nicotine. Well, on days like today, he's correct. There have been highs and lows...for me the anxiety was a crusher in the 40-60 day stretch.

I am so blessed to have this life. Just spent an hour reading the Kern journal. I do this at least once a week...its good medicine for me to keep the mind clear and stay focused.

Be quit my brothers and sisters.

Rawls..how ironic I just was reading an intro thread for PMCX? and you are a HUGE part of caring more about that guy and making him accountable. Damn fine, sir, damn fine!!

Day 75 is coming to a close. My quit group of fire hydrant pissing mail man eating DOGS is approaching each BAQs HOF date. I'm going to save a lengthy reflection for MY date, but i have to quit ODAAT 25 more times before that is on my radar.

Today, i feel a long way from dip and right next door at the same time. I truly believe, keeping on KTC...reading, posting, reading is not a trigger but a REMINDER of what my pathetic existence was as a tobacco chomping fucktard. I have seen some make the excuse they quit posting EDD because it "kept dip in the front of their mind". Fuck yes, it should. But there is a difference between being in the front of my mind and WANTING it. I don't want, crave, romance about dip anymore. But i am very AWARE of the hold it had on my. Posting roll at 100 percent, will be adding a + 1 in the AM while i drain the main vein in the morning fog.

A few thank you's for this portion of the journey...My DOG quit group in its entirety; specifically JPAnthony and QTL..thanks for being in the front of my phone. Pab, Kramer, Candoit, Norm, Drome...you guys busted balls in our group and at first i thought "what a bunch of arseholes" How wrong was I. Would run in front of a bus for you Badasses! Wastepanel, well over a 1000 days quit, and makes the time to care about a new quitter. You, sir, are one raging MoFo!

Much love to all of KTC

Ryan aka DBG 'Cheers'

I told Bryce we had to stop catch, load up and go to the store. The look he gave me was one that drove me to walk away from the poison. At that moment, I threw away the remaining can and went back to catch
Thinking that ought to make your signature line.
Its the start of leaving a legacy that sometimes motivates the most!
You quit for you.....ODAAT.
Be a man of integrity and keep your word.
Brice one day will follow.
I quit with you today.

69. Had to journal this day or I wouldn't be a guy. Just like a good fart will always be funny. I'm at that stage where cravings are gone, but there is some boredom in the quit. Reading guys ahead I was prepared. My plan is to keep active here to shake down the boredom. Talking to u guys keeps it real

You're doing great man. I'm very proud of you.

Honestly, one of the best things you can do for your quit is to.guide a new quitter. Hell, those first few days are insane. People yell at you because you posted roll and bumped someone. People trying to get ya into group chats. All sorts of rules just being tossed at you. What's funny is what makes he this board so special is the personal interactions. Friendships in those first few days can really make a difference in a quit. I'm over 1600 days in so the fog seems real but I don't remember the day to day struggle as clearly say....somebody around 70.

It also pulls you right back into the fire and is great for yourquit. You realize all the stupidity that can steal your quit from you and how susceptible you were to it in those first days. It reinforces basic concepts daily.

Nah. You don't have to do it but I definitely recommend it.

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Shit, I was in such a damn fog when I found this site I never drafted an intro. I am 68 days in at this point, but I want to get this down as a journal of the journey that will continue ODAAT. My immediate brethren in the DOG house have provided a tremendous amount of support. Some deeply involved vets like Wastepanel, pab, kramer, drome, have layed the groundwork for my quit.

Unlike most, I never tried to quit in 24 years of pounding the Cope poontang. The day I fingered her for the last time was a friday. Picked my 5 yr old up from school and immediately we were playing catch in the yard. I reached for the ninja can location (my sock) and my stomach sank....i had one or two dips left and had forgot to stop on way home. I told Bryce we had to stop catch, load up and go to the store. The look he gave me was one that drove me to walk away from the poison. At that moment, I threw away the remaining can and went back to catch. A few nights later, while fucked up from the suck, I found KTC. Having never been on a forum, and fucked from withdrawal, I was beyond lost. Now, as I get closer to the HOF, i can't believe how good freedom feels.

Quit on, see all again here at my HOF intro!

DBG 24 year's of your life wasted on that disgusting shit! I'm so damn proud of you! You are getting a small taste of freedom. The great thing about you is you seen the look on your sons face and done something about it,YOU QUIT! Stay focused, use the tools, keep helping others and you will never see that look again. My kids were grown with kids of there own before I quit, that was weak of me and very selfish. Quit on my friend and keep paying it forward!
Great post! And congrats on your quit approachin 100. Keep it up and stay strong! Never go back.

Damn DGB, that had to have been some look your son gave you to stop you dead in your Cope tracks! Speaking for myself i was in the clutches of that nic bitch so deep i didnt care when those situations came up. It was the late night trips to the gas station to get a can that made me realize i was basically a junky. Doing things i didnt want to do just to get one more chew in before bed.
