I wish you could edit something in the subject line. I do not fancy the "(I hope)" part...
Then it's a monument to growth.

Keep it, in that case.

klark - NOW I get it, ha...good one. I was wondering, why in the hell are you getting shit for showing her your dip cup, ha. Sorry, was slow yesterday - I will blame it on the nicotine withdrawal fog, ha.

could care less if secretary sees it.
last time I showed it to my secretary I had to attend an 2 day sexual harassment workshop. _
She's still laughing, wondering why it's so much smaller than she has seen. 'crackup'
A promise not kept is the road to exile.

If quitting is cool, consider me Myles Davis.

Unless you bring value onto my 1/2 acre, I don't want to hear it.

Gracias! Yeah, life is much better without this nasty shit. 7 days may not seem like a lot but sure feels like it to me - wouldn't have every imagined going without that shit in my mouth for 7 hours much less 7 days. Thanks in huge part to the support on this board - knowing you are amongst others in the same boat makes it that much more bearable to get through it. It's one thing telling my wife or friends I'm quitting but they have no clue what it is like to be addicted to this shit. I will read shit on this site and just laugh how similar the stories are. My favorite is one I read the other day about a dude who had this feeling in his ear like there were bugs crawling in it - I got that the first couple of days! Too funny. I'm sure my colleagues in my office are enjoying these past few days - not seeing the nasty ass cups in my office and the shit floating in the toilet when I would dump out the spit cups. Damn that shit is N-A-S-T-Y! I would often just look in the cup at that spit and mud looking shit and think what a fucking moron I am that this came out of my mouth!!!!!

Thanks fellas - one day at a time. I'm realizing more and more, even at this early stage of less than a week, that it is pretty much just psychological.

So almost done with a full day at the office - sitting here with a cup full of sunflower seed shells and I've thought no less than 50 times about having a dip but NOPE, not happening. Office time is always perfect dipping time....wife is away so can't get busted and could care less if secretary sees it.  Anyway, not looking for a pat on the ass, just wanted to articulate to those who understand the difficulty getting thru this shit...entire adult life a bitch to this shit and feeling good that I refuse to fall victim to it any longer.  If I can do it, ANYONE can!
Strong work on staying quit today. I'm on day 41 and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think I'd like to have a dip. The difference is that I'm Quit and I don't do that shit anymore. Doesn't stop the urges though...I don't know if it ever will. I got a little bent out of shape this morning when I couldn't find my beef jerky too...maybe I'm addicted to that now...who knows? Anyway, keep up the good work, and you've got my number if you need it.
Very nice work friend.

The support here is fantastic! I'm enjoying this brotherhood and plan to embrace this day by day to kick this bullshit.  My wife and I went to the gym this morning and I told her about this forum and also spilled the beans about how I've been sneaking around to dip behind her back, told her all my little secret routines, where I hide the shit, etc.  I feel like an absolute fool articulating it but damn, I've literally been dipping my entire adult life from 18-39....but 39 is done...gave it 21 years and that's it.  The wife is of course supportive and thinks this is a great idea but she's seen me quit many times before (well, listened to my bullshit where I told her I was quitting and then as soon as she went to bed I was putting a big dip in) but this time it is for real...nothing but a positive outlook from here on out, or at least day by day...baby steps.  I like the principle...don't think about tomorrow or next week or forever, think about just getting thru today...psychologically it makes a hell of a lot of sense and the reality is that this shit is ALL psychological at this point.

Hope all continue to have a great nicotineLESS day!
We're glad you're on board and I'm glad to be quit with you today. You have it right, one day at a time. PM me if you need anything. You being quit makes me being quit all that much easier because someone else is going through something similar. Pretty awesome, huh?

Aglawyer - get yer happy, quittin' ass to November and start posting roll.


I'm all over it like stink on shit! I see folks talking on here about exchanging numbers or emails - I don't want to invade someone's privacy by asking in case they don't want to do that but I would like to exchange with some folks too so that I could throw a text message out if I'm feeling the little bastard take control and I'm not around a computer or if I'm out of town on business so I can pass along that I'm still beating the little shit bastard but just not near a computer so please post the Roll for me. Anyone cool with swapping numbers or emails with me? Much obliged - have a great day!
