I heard they were virgin strippers that taste like bacon.
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

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

Stay quit... it is life or death and that is the undeniable truth.

635 - Vegas

I was in Las Vegas over the Halloween weekend and a normally strange town was in rare form. I was there on business, so viewing the town with clear eyes was fun and interesting. First off, there are some whacked out people in that town but more important to me were the amount of dippers. It so happened that the PBR was also in town. I saw slaves everywhere with their lips overflowing with poison. They looked ridiculous walking around with a nasty spitter while pretending to have a beverage.

Seeing these dippers as well as the smokers with their wrinkled up skin who look depressed about life strongly reinforced my quit. They are slaves to nicotine, and I could see deep down they knew it and they didn't like it.

I am so grateful that I had the strength to weather the storm that happened early in my quit. The storm really does pass, and when it does the sun keeps shining as long as you want it to. Life is really really good without tobacco and freedom feels incredible!

Quote from: sensei1.5 years of quit today.

I would not have made it this far without the support of this community. If I can quit after 22 years of a can a day, you can too. It takes discipline and commitment to posting roll and keeping your word. The easy part is posting roll. The hard part is keeping your word.

Life is good being quit.
Cheers sensei. Nice work bro.

Quote from: sensei529 - Pondering

So I was riding my new mountain bike yesterday (with some money I would have spent on dip). When I got to the top of my climb I was catching my breath while admiring the view of the pacific ocean on a beautiful blue sky day. Guess what I was thinking about? I thought to myself "damn a dip would be so nice right now". As that thought came up, I consciously caught it and said "nice try bitch". She reply's well a fake one would be ok too. I started laughing out loud.... She is tenacious.

The reality is, a dip would NOT have been nice and a fake one is a waste of time at this point. One of the really nice things about posting roll 529 days in a row is that when these situations arise, they stand out like a sore thumb. Do I still think about dip? YEP. Do I still crave a dip sometimes? YEP I do. But the desire is always manageable and because I have made a promise to my group. I cannot have a dip without their permission.

The bottom line, post roll everyday. It saved my weak ass again.
I'm only 54 days in. In control of my quit. Feel good. Cravings are at a minimum. But at least once a day I too have a similar voice that pops in my head: "You could sure use a pinch right now. Go ahead. Throw in a lip. No one will know. Just one". Sometimes comes out of the blue. Sometimes after a known trigger. The beautiful thing is that the voice dies almost as fast as it came, because then another voice pops in my head that says: "You gave your word today. End of story". That sentiment is 100x as strong as anything the Bitch can throw at me, including the lies that come in the form of a sexy voice at least once a day. Great job on your quit Sensei.

Good stuff Sensei,

Though I am many months behind you in quit numbers I now realize I have reached a point where I have gained a lot of quit knowledge and can think about these things without craving or jeopardizing my quit.

The question is, what would you gain from using dip? Lets be entirely honest here, without hiding from the real emotions.

If I were to use I know for sure I would get a buzz probably feel relaxed for about 5 minutes. That is the extent of what I can visualize.

What would I lose: 153 days of quit (vs 5 minutes of relaxation), complete loss of credibility, and worst of all, either a lifetime of addiction or having to go through more nic withdrawal.


That 5 minutes just doesn't seem worth it at all when I really think about it.


Keep it up bud, 529 is inspirational for me.
