Smeds - Happy Hall Eve! Noticed tomorrow is your day and thought I'd throw this out there a few hours early. I like your style dude. Always building up, never tearing down. You're my kinda guy to quit with, congrats!

Quote from: Smeds
ItÂ’s the first day of summer Â… and the first day of summer in 32+ years I will enjoy without the poison of nicotine running through my body. In the last 70 days IÂ’ve experienced a shitload of firsts. I went on vacation with my wife without a dip in. I went fishing (multiple times) without a dip in. I worked on a project out at the duck shack without a dip in. I golfed without a dip in. I drove long-distances and short without a dip in. I talked on a cell phone without a dip in. I talked to my mother, sisters, brothers and friends without a dip in. I took a fucking shower without a dip in, a dump without a dip in, worked without a dip in, took in some live music without a dip in, had some beers without a dip in, did yard work without a dip in, pet my dogs without a dip in! ItÂ’s an unbelievable reality how many firsts I (we) have coming up in the remainder of my (our) lives. Thinking back on how many years/days/hours/minutes/seconds of my life I wasted as a slave to the bitch nicotine makes my quit that much stronger. The realization that I'll be 64 (I'm 50 now) before the number of years without nicotine equals the same number of years I was a dumb-fuck slave to nicotine makes my quit that much stronger. During the time of my addiction (which is ongoing) IÂ’ve seen the rise of the internet with a dip in Â… and for today (ODAAT) I promise each and every one of you no nicotine today Â… never again for any reason! IÂ’m quit like fuck! ItÂ’s Musky Fest weekend here in Hayward, WI Â… and although temptations abound, IÂ’m too committed to my quit, my family and all of my KTC brothers to even look in the direction of that nic bitch! IÂ’m off to the golf course, an annual Musky Fest scramble today with a small group of buds. Quit strong, stay strong, and enjoy the weekend ... I'm quit with all of you today!
Thanks for posting Smeds. This is awesome to look at to stay focused on this marathon. Proud to quit with you today and my quit is stronger today than it was yesterday.

Also, I have to say for being 50 your wife's knockers look pretty nice in that avatar there. Happy summer!
I love the smell of a good quit. You are winning Smeds so keep up the good work. I, too, was never an adult without nic so everything is pretty much a first. I don't miss spitting on my dick while taking a shit at all.
Quit on bro.

Well boys, after a long holiday weekend (last week) spent fishing, doing yard work, detailing the truck, cleaning the pole barn (basically all potential triggers) ... I'm proud to say I'm still quitting "LF" every day! Wednesday night was our first night of Musky League and I was able to share some pearls of wisdom with my partner in league. He is a ninja dipper, and although uses infrequently ... he's an addict. Waaay back in my first week of quit he said, "Shit, if you can do this so can I"! Wednesday was the first time we had a chance to discuss life's biggest pain-in-the-ass ... and I told him I was at 45 days still quit, and asked him how his quit was going. He's still dipping! Said, "It was a stressful weekend"! I let him know to reach down and feel around for his balls and quit for good! Verbally shared some information from here, but more importantly sent him a link to the home page. Let him know to throw the shit away, and just go ODAAT. Thought of all you bad-asses while preaching to him! I know I can't make him, but I can throw some shit at him every chance (tempered with good advice).

I feel like my quit is going strong, and I attribute a lot of that to KTC, and the promise I make every day by posting roll. Had to switch over to regular jerky chew from the teriyaki ... my teeth were starting to hurt a little (normal in the process?), and I looked up the ingredients and found out the teriyaki has a bunch of sugar in it! Let's pack some sugar up against my teeth ... shit! I still have mental "flashes" of the Copenhagen days, but from my reading here I know that's that fucking bitch nicotine pulling at me to come back. But she weighs about 450 now and has herpes and has lost most of her teeth ... fuck her, I'm not coming back! I'm QLF EDD with all of my brothers here!

Have a great weekend everyone, PM me if you need anything!
Good post, smeds. But I wouldn't fuck that ugly nic whore with your dick.
Nice Doc! Back at ya! Mine don't work around her anyway!

I was wondering who you were, welcome and congrats on your quit. Let me know if you need any support.
Way to go, Smeds. I'm originally from NW WI, too. Good luck with your pal. I'm going to tell some friends about KTC but I'm waiting until I get to day 100 to tell them so I feel like I have some credibility (not that you don't) and battle stories.

Being an outdoorsman like you are must make quitting tough.

Stay strong. Glad to quit with you.
Keep it up. 40 days is no joke! This is quitting at it's finest. Keep working it, dishing it, tossing it, mixing it and throwing it. Glad to be quit with you today.
Welcome. Just caught up on your intro. Nice job working your quit on your own for 30+. The accountability and brotherhood of this site will put your quit into high gear.

ODAAT. Own this day. Proud to be quit with you today.

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.

Well, I reached out and sent a link to this site to a good buddy of mine. I've sat in a duck blind or boat seat across from him tens of hundreds of times ... and I want that to continue. He quit on his own 2 years ago for 5 months, and then one day just said "screw it" and bummed a dip from a friend. The story would have more punch if that friend was me, but it wasn't. However the whole time he was quit and working the mint herbal I never realized how strong he was. Here at my day 39, it slaps me across the chops. Here's to him coming in and quitting with us everyday. ODAAT. If anyone needs my contact info, PM me ... and thanks for quitting with me!
My old man quit chewing cold turkey and never looked back about 10 years ago. He did say that he thought about it a lot. I always just thought he was super awesome at self control....I had no idea until now.
Nice job reaching out to that buddy smeds. You've got a whole new perspective on his quit now. Unfortunately, it is all his call on whether he quits now or not. You can't make him but the encouragement can't hurt.
You've got a good quit started from what I can tell. Reaching out to others will strengthen that. If your buddy won't take your help, there are plenty on here that will. Just don't lose sight your own quit.
39 is bad ass...keep it up.
Quit with you.

Quote from: THansen2413
Awesome stuff! I'm 88 days quit and feel awesome! I was discouraged for quite some time because I was using Smokey Mountain and thought I was trading real dip for fake dip. Figured I'd never get over that oral fixation of having something packed nice and tight in the lower lip. Around day 50 I realized I was just throwing my money away on Smokey Mountain. I didn't need it mentally. I went a day without it, and survived. 2 days, 3 days, and so forth and I was still functioning. Hell I was functioning better than when I used the real shit. Now days and this is no lie... I throw in a piece of gum at the start of my shift, and I throw in a new piece after my lunch break. I seriously chew, 2 pieces of gum per day, that's it. This is coming from a 1 1/4 can per day for about 10 years, with a few "breaks" in that 10 yrs. There will come a day, much like the suck phase, where you realize you don't need anything packed in your lip. You're doing a killer job so far.... quitting w/you today! Btw, SE Minnesota here, Skol Vikes 'winker'
