I should have quit sooner. But at least I can say I have turned fifty without being a dipper.

I'm not talking about any one person. I am talking about everyone in every new group. In every group there are people who want to make excuses for not posting before they even try to post. We all see the same people day to day in life. We all know someone who goes to the boss at least every other week and says something like, "There is a chance I might be late one day next week. The left rear tire on my wifes car was low three days ago and I took it to the C-store and put air in it. If it goes flat this weekend I will have to give her a ride to work next week and then take the tire to get it fixed." Then they show up late next Thursday and when you ask them why and mark it unexcused they say "Well, I told you last week I would be late." Some bosses coddle people enough that they would console the guy and excuse him for being late. I am the asshole who would have told him in the first place, "Look, the tire store is open until noon on Saturday. I suggest you get your ass out of bed and take the car there and have the tires rotated and checked so you can be to work on time next week. Because if you think I am going to excuse your tardiness so you can focus on your X-box Saturday morning you have another think coming."

Posting roll is as important to me as it used to be to make sure I always had dip. Anything else will lead to failure.

Realized I hit another stage of quit recently. It has been quite some time since I had a dip of Smokey Mountain or even a temptation to do so. Well, yesterday I was driving my wives car and had to open the center console. There was a pretty full can of Smokey Mountain I did not even realize was there. I was not even tempted to take a dip of it. The last time I did dip it I spit it out in a matter of minutes. I took that can and littered as I drove. I don't even have a craving for fake dip any more.

Congratulations on 2 laps, brother
2 years, way to go!
Just another good day to be quit is all today is. My middle daughter is done with her extended Christmas break from college and I get to drive her back to college in a few hours. It snowed here last night and the temperature is 14 degrees so it will be a long drive there and back. Two years ago a 200 mile drive on snow and ice would have led to many dips. Now, no chance of that. I can't even remember the last time I seriously craved a dip. The last time I stuck Smokey Mountain in my mouth I found that disgusting and was spitting that up within a matter of minutes. Nowadays the only thing that stays in my mouth any length of time is gum, breath mints and a toothbrush. I can now laugh at the fools sneaking a smoke or dip at work instead of being one of them. Some think I am cold blooded because I have no sympathy when they get caught and terminated. Thanks for all of the support and I will be here again tomorrow morning to make another promise.
