I hope no one caves and puts the blame on this TapATalk migration! :p

*jokes apart*

Last couple of days have been crazy on KTC! I visited about 30 - 40 groups and every group resembles a war field! Rolls are jacked beyond recognition. Ran into many people who have given up on unjacking rolls! Tempers are frayed. I feel bad for the newbies, it’s enough of a struggle without your lifeline changing. But, inspite of all the hara-kiri, the quit spirit remains intact! Proud of my KTC members! Proud to quit with you all today ODAAT!!!

Day 54

One thing that goes missing after you quit dip is sleep. That, and pleasant dreams. The initial few weeks were really bad - like hardly 3-4 hours of sleep in all, interspersed with a lot of awake time. It was pure hell, I came to dread going to bed. I was totally miserable and lived my days feeling like a zombie. Things kind of changed around the 5 week mark. I also started following a few good sleeping habits - sleeping at the same time every night, no mobile phone in bed and a shower 60 minutes before hitting the sack. Around 4-5 hours of sound sleep. But, still no dreams!

Well, this changed yesternight! Slept for a neat 9 hours. Had the most pleasant of dreams... Woke up feeling fresher than a daisy. *Come on life, throw anything at me and I will handle it!* It's that kind of a feeling! Nocturnal life is back on track! When they say "it gets better", believe them!
Dude you are one bad ass quitter.

Even better days are ahead.
Love this! Just wait thereÂ’s so much more coming. It will have an impact on your life in ways you could never think of. You start thinking of your health and well being a whole lot more. Keep on keeping on! YouÂ’re a badass indeed

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

Day 48 - Back from a week long vacation... 7 days of total quit-bliss!

I met this cousin who's a champion dipper. As the coversation went, he blamed the high school bunch for his dipping addiction. Some people just don't get it - I am not an addict because of bad parenting. Or because of a sport, or the kids I hung out with at school. It is not because of my occupation, neither because life found a way of kicking me in the nuts every now and then. Or because of the way dip is marketed and sold at gas stations. The can never ever jumped off the shelf, into my pocket or into my mouth. I made that decision of buying the can every damn day. Paid with my hard earned money to keep the addiction going. I was an addict because I loved tobacco. Because, I thought I could remain functional only with that bitch in my mouth. I fuelled my addiction by not ever seriously giving up on tobacco - till 48 days ago!

It is important to understand and acknowledge that it is only me that is to blame for my addiction - OWN UP!!! I think that's the first step towards a new life!

Day 40 - I am traveling and will be travelling for the next 4 days. Usually, this would have been 4 odd days of continued dip-bliss. Not this time around... As I sit here and watch outside the train window, I realise that the world is still as beautiful without that bitch inside your mouth. I also realise that I am thinking of dip less frequently. Craves are not too scary these days... Thank you KTC!

"The nic b$#%* is in the hotel parking lot doing push-ups" I couldn't have said it any better. Rawls is right and those were never blissful days. They were days of self-medicating misery and the biatch had her wrapped around our finger. No more though. Now, she's doing push ups and kissing our feet every rep.
I like the fact that you realize the world is a great place without nicotine. It certainly is.. Stand strong and do whatever it takes to keep that shit out of your mouth!!! Thanks for the support in Dec '13!!!
