Congrats. And thank you for 900 days of supporting us, too! You were one of the first to welcome me and tell me how to post...that was 584 days of freedom ago.

Day 900

I was driving back from a great weekend with my son and family yesterday and it hit me that I was at 899 days, a milestone day tomorrw. As I drove for the next two hours I kept trying to remember what it was I had enjoyed about dipping and thinking to myself how much better things are without it. When I see people dipping now it makes me sick. What a fucking disgusting habit. Spit bottles, nasty teeth, shit breath.. WOW.

Truth is there is not one single thing that I liked or enjoyed about it, I was merely taking my daily nic fix, how sad. I cannot ever express how much I appreciate this site and the people who showed me the way. I had given up hope of ever getting free from dipping but now I cannot for the life of me imagine what the hell I was thinking.

Freedom is a wonderful thing and worth fighting for daily! I am not as active in other groups as I was earlly on, hopefully now that I am getting settled into the job and the new house I can fix that. I still stop in and post roll with the Fucknuts daily....

Thanks again to everyone !! Next milestone day will be the COMMA !!
This is awesome. And I needed something awesome today.

DAY 793

Saw this in my e-mail when I woke up. Wanted to get it in here !! Thought provoking...

A message from Nicotine?

I destroy homes I tear families apart. I take your children, and that's just the start. I'm more costly than diamonds, more costly than gold. The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.

If ever you need me, I'm easily found. I live all around you, in schools and in town. I live with the rich, I live with the poor. I live down the street, and maybe next door.

My power is awesome; try me and see. But if you do, you may never break free. Just try me once and I might let you go, but try me twice, and I'll own your soul.

When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie. You do what you have to just to get by. The crimes you'll commit, for my narcotic charms, will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in my arms.

You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal from your dad. When you see their tears, you will feel very sad. But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised. I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways.

I take kids from parents, and parents from kids. I turn people from God, and separate friends. I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride. I'll be with you always, right by your side.

You'll give up everything: your family, your home, your friends and your money, then you'll be all alone but I alone will comfort you. I'll take and take, until you have nothing to give. When I'm finished with you, you'll be lucky to live.

If you try me be warned... this is no game, If given the chance, I'll drive you insane. I'll ravish your body; I'll control your mind. I'll own you completely; your soul will be mine.

The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed, The voices you'll hear from inside your head. The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see I want you to know, these are all gifts from me.

But by then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart, That you are mine, and we shall not part. You'll regret that you tried me, they always do. But you came to me, not I to you.

You knew this would happen, Many times you were told. But you challenged my power, and chose to be bold. You could have said no, and just walked away. If you could live that day over, now what would you say? I'll be your master; you will be my slave. I'll even go with you, when you go to your grave.

Now that you have met me , what will you do? Will you try me or not? Its all up to you. I can bring you more misery than words can tell. Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell...

Day 792

It has been awhile since I posted anything in here. But my recent bout with complacency is worth putting here for others to see.

My quit has been rocking along nicely. New job keeping me busy; and I found that I had missed posting roll a time or two in the past month. When I realized I had missed a post at the end of the day I played it off as no big deal. "I will get it tomorrow", "my quit is strong." "No worries. " "I never missed two days in a row so its all good." It actually was very easy for me to justify missing a post. Much easier than it should have been.

Newbs I want you to look at what I just said. While I was never in any danger of caving, at least not yet, this is exactly how the bitch works and how problems start. Posting roll daily has been what kept me quit this far, so why am I messing around?  To be honest I just let othe things become more imortant; which is a recipe for disaster as an addict. You can remain clean, but you will NEVER be cured. We all know how it works, drift from the site, stop posting roll, new day 1 it is repeated on these boards multiple times.

This site asks for nothing except a daily roll post and for you to keep your word. In return for that you get a world of assistance, a band of brothers willing to do anything to help you when you need it, and more knowledge than you could ever hope to find anywhere. AND IT WORKS!

I have seen a couple of caves recently of guys ahead of me. My suspicion is they got relaxed as well. I have preached to hundreds of new people to NEVER miss a roll call post, to stay active, be involved. Time for me to listen to my own words. Time to kick complacency in the ass! I will not let you wiggle back in bitch!

Greg5280 – 792 – I quit with you today !!
