Condolences to you, friend. Your quit seems very strong still, which is a great thing, but I just wanted to throw this out there from experience. My grandfather died last fall, and we were very close, and I caved around that time after having been quit for nearly 8 months. The advice I wanted to give was do everything within your power to stay quit, because you will regret caving more than anything down the line. Then, you still have to go through the suck when you quit again, and going through it is no more fun the second time. I'm truly sorry about your friend, and you have my thoughts and prayers.

Thought I would share what's going on in my life - I know I haven't been very active on the site aside from roll call in the mornings. My childhood friend has been battling cancer for the last 8 years or so and it seems that cancer is finally winning. Yesterday I saw her in hospice and her parents think she's got less than a week.

This is not affecting my quit - though I have been craving, I am not tempted at all to put that shit in my mouth and I understand that one problem + nicotine = 2 problems.

This is the first time I've ever really had to deal with anything like this. I can't say I'm sad or mad or frustrated or any one thing, it's just all kind of bunching together.

Anyways, I'll continue with roll call and I am staying quit as it is the thing holding me up the most I think right now.
please take a little time on the site when you can, learning, helping others, and building a fellowship will help your quit grow.

you definitely have the correct attitude dip fixes nothing. love your friend all you can...

Hi all - been chewing for about 5 years now, 23 year old female and man, this stuff sucks.
^^^^OK, it has been a long week....I just spent 5 minutes reading this trying to figure out how you are both "female and man". This site is a great way to beat the nic. Read and get involved. Welcome, my idiot ass is heading home.
I believe that this is one of those "commas save lives" sort of things...

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed that.
Hilarious stuff here...haha

Keep on with the quit!

Hahaha typical. English isn't really my forte, huh? Day 3 lunch time and I'm feeling overall good. Definitely feeling sleepy/buzzed but I have been being so productive the last two days to keep my mind off chewing. And all things considered, I've been a good mood all day but maybe that's just because I've been alone - no one to bother me :)
Any luck finding the source of your water woes?
Nothing so far. Doing some water samples at the site for the afternoon to see what we come up with

Oh boy. Day 2 is a bitch. Spent all day with my chain smoking coworkers and a bag of sunflower seeds. I feel like that old SOB from Holes
LOL! keep the humor up! And hang in there- it gets better fast, you just have to get the poison out of your body first. 72 hours and you're there. Keep getting through it, and remember it all so you know what you NEVER want to go through again. THen, freedom will taste SO GOOD!
There are a few ladies on here, and their quit is STRONG! You came to the right place, we've all walked in your shoes. You can do this!
