It's been so long.  It took me forever just to find this thread.  I came back for my 1 year celebration.  I have been hanging out in the forum recently hoping to do do my part.  I have discovered(re-discovered) many fellow quitters.  Closer to many of them, more than I would think.  Stay quit my friend!
Easy to find. Seach fields at the bottom of intros work well, or you can go to your profile and find a list of all topics you started. For you, there's only one. Easy enough.

Congrats on a year!!
You mean I went through every page searching for my name for nothing? Doh!

Congrats on a full year Arfy. Nice job of being a quitter.
Spend some time helping newbies. I've found it keeps me engaged and really helps me remember exactly why I will never do that again.

Day 203

Had my first cave dream today.  I want to remember this.  I don't remember what caused me to cave but I remember almost immediately spitting it out and thinking about the rest of you guys.  I have come so far and it would be so disappointing to let you down.  Don't ever lose your way guys!
I won't quit you shocker
I woke up today (duh) and thought about how close we are to being a slave to the can again. All I would take is one.

Day 165

Always helps to come back and remind myself that I am an addict.  Never forget this.  You are a strong individual, but the minute you forget this could be too late.
hey Arfy, at day 251 I'm still an addict with YOU today! The difference between this a.m. and 252 daze ago is: Nicotine is "not" a part of my life. Remember that, we're always going to be addicts, but the "free" addicts get to live REAL life! Celebrate your freedom and post roll early, chat a lot, help others.
Cheers Arfy.
any day that ends with a "y" is a GREAT DAY to be QUIT.

Day 119

An emotional day.  Just learned about two big caves that took place the last couple of days.  I was going to leave their names out, but fuck it.  I shouldn't hide the truth from myself.  Crockett and Kstamp.  Very disappointing.  Both had a hundred and something days in.  I feel bad for these guys and hope they get their shit straight and turned around.  But at the same time, it could be a good learning experience for myself.  A good reminder that the Nic Bitch is always watching, waiting for that moment of vulnerability.  It's all up to me.  No one can do it for me.

119 days tobacco free and proud of it!
Protect  own your quit first and foremost!

Help others second.

Don't let cavers bring you down.

---Old Proverb or some shit. Ask Coach Steve.

You control your actions, not them. Not history. Not odds. YOU.

And I believe in you. Keep it up.
Every cave still impacts me, majorly pisses me off even after this much time. I still wonder why they chose to cave when so many others choose to fight on every day. Why they threw away their quit and integrity for 1 lousy worm dirt taste...
You did not. You have integrity. You remember why you came here in the first place, to be quit. Remain quit, others weaknesses are not your weakness.
You are a first class quitter, keep it up. Proud to be quit with you today.

Day 111

Stopped at the gas station that I always used to buy my chewing tobacco at.  Bought a fountain drink.  When the clerk asked if there was anything else, I instinctively said, " a roll of husky wintergreen."  And then it hit me.....what the fuck was I saying?   I don't chew that shit anymore.  Just found it humorous that it was such an instant reaction.  Obviously I left the store with no tobacco and still quit.

Moral of the story:

Fuck you Nic Bitch!
Wow, now there is an old habit.....or that would not be called a freudian slip would it....now lets picture Arfy in a slip.... 'Crazy'

Enough said, that would keep me quit too.

Nice victory
Thanks D. I appreciate your comment. Did you know that you were the first person I ever talked to on this site? I remember it and will never forget it. Very proud to be quit with you brother!
I had a similar experience at 220 or so in my quit. I had intentionally stayed out of the place I bought my shit from. I finally got the nuts up to go buy a Coke and the chick had a can waiting on me. I slid it back and said no thanks I do not do that shit anymore.

Nice Victory!!

STAY QUIT
Greg
