I've seen your name on various rolls, including mine (March 14' Iron men) and wanted to check out this intro. You have a pretty bad ass quit going and seeing your daily victories against the nic bitch ads fuel to my quit fire.

One question for you though. ...when you go back to your very first intro post. you note the following,
Quote
I always shaved my head when I lost someone important in my life... On 06/27/2018, I woke up and flushed all tobacco in my house down the drain.
Quote
I had lost a friend with whom I had spent good times as well as bad!


You still feel like you lost a friend? Was it really "someone important" ...just curious what your view on this is now. Now that you can look back at your addiction through the eyes of a quitter rather than the eyes of an addict.
Well stated Steak. I to popped in here because he popped up in April 2014's roll (Resolute Bastards).....quitNWinay, what say you? Any additional thoughts regarding your comments as you look back a little rewired?
I had my priorities wrong... She was never a friend. She was more like the evil ring that the hobbit obsessed over! She controlled my thoughts, actions and emotions. Now that I am quit and look back, I ask myself what took me so long to realise that I was a slave to a dead plant for 15 years...
Ahhhh the precious! Great analogy man. That's exactly what it is. Only you don't get invisible. I mean the addict thinks their addict ways are invisible but they're not.
Glad to roll with you - glad you're a quitter now!!
Good answer. She is pure evil and it's simple as that. Keep it up brother; you're racking up victories every day and getting a whole bunch of badass quitters jumping aboard your quit train.
I just bought a ticket.....
The Truth is the engine... And feelings are the caboose!

Day 27 - Waking up in the morning with happiness and in clean sheets. No tobacco flakes on the floor. No tobacco stains on the sheets... No chance of accidentally kicking the spit cup as you get down the bed... Taking a piss without chicken shit in your mouth! Feels too unreal... Thank you KTC for the simple joys of life...

Day 25! A small number, but felt like a mountain! The nicotine bitch is still not done with me, though. I met my brother-in-law today. He dips the same brand that I did for 15 years. We had lunch together and later he was sitting across the table with a fat wad under his lip! I don't know how many of you have seen the movie series - Lord of The Ring. The crave was strong... I could literally feel the bitch whispering in my ears to take only one! I felt like the Hobbit and the can of shit became the ring that controlled me!!! I didn't falter this time and refused the dip when he offered it to me... I'd won my victory for today, but I know there still are many such craves headed my way! Unfortunately, you can't kill the can by throwing it in the fire like the hobbit killed the ring!!!
Congrats on day 25, brother! Quarter HOF! I'm proud to be quit with you and thankful to have you in RAWKtober 2018. You keep us going!
Happy 1/4 HOF brother!!
Quit hard!
Nice quarter HOF, qNW!!!

I have had the EXACT same thoughts about the LOTR and Hobbit ring! The last scene where Bilbo is back from his "adventure" and is standing in his empty hobbit hole. And he can't stop thinking about the ring - he resists but finally breaks down. I've thought "I know EXACTLY how he feels!"

Keep up the great quit! This gets easier, I promise. But don't think about that yet. Just keep quitting a day at a time.
ODAAT!!!
Yes! Very nice victory. Own the bitch, sheÂ’s owned you long enough!
Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD
