Hey bulldog, here you are brother. 100 days, HOF, I knew you would. You just made my quit stronger today because of this. I got one of those proud, crayon eating grins right now. Way to be brother.

Congratulations Brother! You finally made the train. I know it's been a wild ride since December but you stayed quit. You were steady the whole way.

Just remember this is just the start of many days ahead that you have your life back. Don't let your guard down as the nic bitch likes to throw a few temptations at us from time to time. There are a few of us standing by that will have your six EDD.

Proud of you and proud to be quit with you today Devil Dawg, congratulations and enjoy your day!

Semper Fi!

Just a journal entry so I can't look back on this from the 15th floor or so.
Dads accepted in the program in Loma Linda. We'll see how he responds in 8 months. Long road ahead.
New house is awesome. Fucking boxes everywhere but they're everywhere in MY home. MINE.
I never want to put up another ceiling fan in my life.
I'm two weeks from the hall. I know we rot his one day at a time but I'm fucking proud. I've been looking forward to hitting that for a long time. I didn't think I could do it.
It's really cool seeing guys that came in here after me, guys I spoke to or really spent time reading up on, reaching out to the new guys. It's a formula for success and creates a cycle of accountability. Really cool to see.
I am so glad I found this website.
I am Iron Man.  ;Ironman:
Keep it going brother. It gets better for sure!
It's worth it, keep on quitting.
You came here to quit and that's exactly what's happenning. Nice! Glad to be your contemporary, although in different months, were about the same time when you consider a lifetime of quit.
This info helped me early on, and still does today: https://whyquit.com/whyquit/linksaaddiction.html

Quitters I’ve met so far: Ihatecope, >Pinched<, T-Cell, grizzlyhasclaws, Canvasback, BaseballPlayer, Cbird65, ERDVM, BradleyGuy, Ted, Zeno, AppleJack, Bronc, Knockout, MookieBlaylock, Rdad, 2mch2lv4, MN_Ben, Natro, Lippizaner, Amquash, ChristopherJ, GDubya, SRohde  -- always eager to meet more!

Bulldog...Saw your message on roll call. That is great news regarding your father. Sounds like he is in good shape. Excellent.

Kind of a journal entry for me here. Big day. 60 days. There was a time I couldn't even wrap my brain around this number. One day at a time.
The last two weeks have been shitty. Work. Wife.  Mortgage loan. Wells Fargo. Moving. House inspections. Shit we didn't order getting down to the house. Mom going down with kidney stones. Dad diagnosed with prostrate cancer. Shit. My left eye is literally twitching.
On top of that I quit chewing. The biggest surprise isn't that I've been strong enough to deal with it.  It's been how much I've had to relearn about coping with stress. I didn't realize what a sneaky crutch that poison was. It has you convinced you can't do anything without it. And I believed it.
So happy I'm done. So happy for the people here who I know have my back.
I've been so out of it. I saw the string on neon panther yesterday. Man what a kick in the nads. To be honest I'm glad I didn't see it last week.
Big shout out to my texting group. You guys flippin rock.
Great post Bulldog. You have a lot of shit going on and are keeping strong. That says a lot about your quit and a lot about you. If you need another phone number send me a private message and I will give you mine. To anybody reading this, please go read the new guys intro. His name is CMoney. That should tell you how crazy nicotine messes with your ability to think logically and it's one goal is to keep you wanting more all the way to the grave.

You, Bulldog, (and all you other quitters here) are winners over nicotine. That by itself is a high hurdle to clear. Throw in LIFE and all the shit going on, your hands are full. You people are fucking amazing to be able to handle all of that. When you look in the mirror, be proud, be strong and know you are staring back at a WINNER.

MOGUL
This is the kind of shit I love reading here. 2 balls to the walls quitters not whineing and moaning becuase of life stuff.(and Bulldog seems to have a really full plate now) Just getting it done. Still praying for your Dad Bulldog.
I love this kind of shit "losers are always talking about winning, while the winners are at home fucking the prom queen.

Bulldog you got this man, 60 days alone is something to be proud of. As you embody, life will happen around your quit, yet your drive and determination or fight will keep your quit while life happens.

Keep on quitting on!
P
Proud of you bulldog. 60 days of quit is no joke. Keep doing what your doing. It gets better and better. Quit with you today.
Congrats on 60 Bulldog!

Life will not stop happening as we quit and sh#t will always happen. You don't need the poison to get thru it. You are winning this battle today!

Well done! Quit on!
Keep it going Bulldog- great job getting to 60, and hang in there through the hard times. Something that has helped me get through some tough times so far has been to realize that each challenge I make it through is one less I'll have to beat in the future as I reprogram my recovering brain. So the more work = more reward. Quitting with you bro.
Congrats in 60 days!! Now you can tackle your problems instead of putting them off with a mind numbing wad of dog doo doo in your mouth. Rock on!
