I not only want to but I have to quit

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.

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.

Hows the quit going now? great start so far-- keep building, the network and the knowledge make all the difference!

Completely agree ^^^ I see your support all over KTC! Keep growing those roots!

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?

I have enjoyed chewing for 30 some years now. But the older I get the more I realize that one needs to be concerned for their health. This makes me want to quit. In the past year I have lost over 50 pounds and became addicted to exercising. It just makes it seem that much more stupid to be chewing.

But I also have to quit. Just this year my employer as part of the annual health screening asks if you smoke or chew tobacco. If you do they charge a $100 a month surcharge for health insurance. If you mark no and they find out that you do it will result in termination for falsifying documentation. I averaged about two cans of chew a week. The surcharge on my health insurance was going to cost me more then the tobacco itself. So I marked no on the form and new I had better quit before my next random UA.

I have not had a chew since first thing Friday the 15th of January. I scraped the last chew out of my can when I got up that morning and have not had one since. The only serious temptation I face is when I stop at a store that has chew. As long as I resist buying any I won't have to worry about resisting taking a dip. One advantage I have is that the thought of sharing a can of chew with someone else has always disgusted me. It doesn't matter if it involves me taking a chew from there can or letting them take a chew from mine. I did face a strong urge at the convenience store tonight. But instead of buying a can of chew I bought a pack of gum.

man that was me 7 years ago. and asides from bein a cheep basterd the friends and connections i made here along with postin roll dayly has kept me quit so far. man i prolly save more on the helth insurinse then on dip in that time but all told its reel money i can by other shit with.

See you posted roll! Damn good job. Early, every damn day is the secret to success! Quit on!
