Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Flaw, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Short Memory Lane with all the other occasional posters and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?

For Gods sake can someone please explain to me what is so fucking hard about posting roll every damn day and keeping a promise one day at a time?? Sometimes I swear I have to stop posting in the new groups because I just don't see how someone can be so retarded as to cave. We are not asking for a miracle here. Wake up every morning, take a piss and then get on the desktop, tablet, or phone and post roll. Posting roll is making a promise. Can you keep a promise? If you cannot keep a promise then fuck off, go away and don't post roll. Come back to quit when you become a man. Once you post roll and have made a promise then keep the promise!!! DON'T stuff catshit in your pie hole!! Dammit what is so complicated about it?

I might cave if I quit posting. But I am a man of my word. It is really all you have not only here but everywhere in life. So I awaken every day and post a promise. I still after 665 days face the occasional craving. But then "Nope, I made a promise this morning." Last week I stopped for a tea and for some reason Redman Golden Blend caught my eye. Skoal Long Cut was my regular day to day chew but Redman Golden Blend was my outdoor I can spit all I want chew. My daily vow to keep my promise was all that kept me away from buying a pouch of it. I did not become a worthless piece of shit that went against my word and hated having to answer three questions.

There is no acceptable excuse to cave. You made a promise. If you can't keep that promise then I feel sorry for people in your life. Your wife, mother, boss, electric company, water company, mortgage company, car finance company, etc. Do you say fuck it in keeping a promise to all of them as well? I just don't get it. I pay my bills on time. I get up and go to work every day. All of that is keeping a promise. I don't cheat on my wife, another promise I keep. So keeping a promise one day at a time to not suck on cancerous cat shit is not to complicated to me. Some of you cavers please enlighten me why it is so damned difficult. Everyone says to ask the vets questions. But right now I want to ask cavers the question of how? Why? Personally I really don't give a fuck why you caved. All of the answers are a bunch of weakass sour excuses for being a man who cannot keep his word. What I really want to know is why don't you keep your word? Do you keep your word with your wife? Your creditors? Your work? I wonder because you can't keep your word with yourself or your fellow quitters!!!

Thanks worktowin and Chickdip, I really should check on this thread more often.

Today, 648 days quit is no magic number, it doesn't mark any years or special numbers. But in my case as I was unable to sleep this morning I realized I might want to document this day. Probably the reason I am up so early and couldn't go back to sleep is today is the most major job change for me in over 20 years. Slightly over 20 years ago I went to work in a factory making construction equipment. There over half the employees either smoked or dipped. Then about ten years ago they banned smoking inside. About 5 years ago they banned tobacco use on the premise. Then 2 years ago they added a $100 surcharge onto health insurance for tobacco use. Still many people on the floor did not stop dipping or smoking they were just a lot more sneaky about it. Still a few people have been terminated for smoking on the property.

But starting today I am beginning a new challenge with a new job in a different department. I am so glad I have already quit because this would be even more challenging if I had not. As of today I go to work for quality control and am no longer on the shop floor all day. I would no longer have a tractor to duck behind to slide in a dip. Instead I would have to duck in my cubicle and hope no one walked by. Or go to the bathroom and dip in the stall. It would be so much more risky. The offices used to have a lot of lenience because the plant manager was a smoker. Now though the plant manager is a strict non smoker and there is no lenience. Nobody was terminated for smoking on the premises until he came. I am thankful that I quit 648 days ago and don't have to learn a new job with nic rage involved. Almost everyone on the shop floor has a goal of ending up somewhere like Quality Control some day. But many of them don't dare actually do it because they know what would happen if they got caught using tobacco in the offices.

Just one and you will be back where you started.
And where you started was desperately wishing
you were where you are right now.
