375 = one full year of winning.

Go celebrate with some nachos tonight, but if you decide to bike I'd be careful on the ice! Enjoy this huge milestone!

Congrates on 350 days of Bad Assed Quit! Enjoy your last big round number quit day before 1 year.
Thanks Matt, I thought today about when I joined this site and I had so much admiration for vets who already had over 300 days quit. Now I just consider 350, a year to be a step. I have already proclaimed a comma to be my next goal. I chewed cat dung for 31 years and realize I can't stop quitting after a year or two. My past experience as an alcoholic has actually helped me here. I have not had a drink of alcohol for 21 years but realize one slip is all it would take for a downward spiral. Tobacco is he same way. One dip and the addiction has returned.
Winning is too sweet dude. Congratulations!
Still one day at a time but 350 is sort of a sweet spot. Congrats brother and thanks a lot for the support! :)

I am still quit. I did buy a few cans of Smokey Mountain a few weeks ago when I was driving a lot of highway trips. I just finished the last of that today and my next goal is to stay off that crap. In the long run it can't be good for you as much as it irritates the inside of the lip.

Agree with Stranger. Good stuff BIC. Keep it up.

I think event the 'veterans' soften over time.

Myself, each day I post my promise i feel a little bit less like a loser for letting tobacco control my life.

You are a bad ass quitter and a good vet. So good that I'll promise to quit with you today!

You are a bad as quitter sir!
Thanks for all you do here.
Thanks ChickDip, Those words mean a lot coming from you. I am sure everybody as a "newbie" here has "veterans" they look up too. You were one of mine from the very beginning. You didn't leap into the new group and attack everybody. You were there to offer support and encouragement. You had two hundred and ninety some days then and that seemed like an astronomical number at the time I was just starting. Now, that number and even 542 doesn't seem so unreachable. My goal is ODAAT, my goal is a comma but ultimately my goal is forever.

Thank you for all you do here
One day at a time sir. You are really gonna like where you are going.
Anyone can be a "veteran" here if they just post roll here every day and keep their promise. You do more than that bicycleptic which puts you into that "Bad Ass Quitter" group. Thanks for all you do here brother! :)

I'm here,don't worry I have not given up that easy. I know from past experience that the initial quit is easier for me then the long term. I have gone for weeks, months, even years without chewing only to fall back in the past. I am very determined to make this the last time I have to quit.
Great job bicycleptic. Posting roll is the secret to success. You keep saying you "have to quit"......Do you want to quit? and if so, can we hear it?
