Do you want to talk about victories - Today 10/25/13 on my 72 day of quit I went to get gas for work; after pumping the gas the darn machine told me I had to go into the store to get my receipt so I head on in without a thought.  I get to the register and tell the lady I need the receipt for my gas and she gladly prints it out for me.  She then asks me if I need anything else and I say no.  She looks at me oddly and says you don't need any snuff?  I tell her nope, I quit 72 days ago and you know what ... she congratulates!  Victory!!!
That's a great victory Bearhawk. I still have to remind this one guy at the store where I get gas and now sunflower seeds that I don't need the can anymore. He always chuckles like he thinks I'll be back for one someday.....those wins start stacking up and it feels pretty good.

Congratulations on another day of freedom brother! I quit with you.
2 weeks to got to get to 100 days of freedom. I feel really good about this because my eldest daughter is like so proud of me she is planning a 100 day party for me. You know now what I am looking forward to (One Day At A Time) is making it to 365 days and my first birthday in many many years without nicotine. KTC had made me a positive quitter and I can now look on down the road to life with out the spit shit.
Fantastic win!

I myself had a small win yesterday, went into a gas station I hadn't been in for at least 116 days, grabbed my drink and pumpkin seeds and got to the counter while the clerk grabbed two cans of cope longcut southern blend and slid them towards me; I laughed out loud slid them back and said no thanks ma'am that shit is nasty. Then explained my QUIT and had a dentist standing behind me only to ask me questions about the site and see if I would be willing to personally guide two of his young patients.

You are getting there brother, your anger is in the right direction and you continue to celebrate each day. The fact that your daughter is planning a party for you is even better.

I quit with you today Bear Hawk,

Right on, you're killing this! Amazing how just talking it out can really help. There was a night or two early on where I wouldn't have made it through at all if it weren't for brothers on KTC.

That's a real accomplishment indeed  you've done it 50 times already, that's 50 wins!
I'm going to be at 2 months here over the weekend. 60 wins. This site has provided me with a goal other then looking ahead, it has given me the goal of staying quit ODAAT. Staying quit with my brothers, shooting for that HOF but doing it by keeping accountable each day. I'll see you all here tomorrow - and so on. Keeping quit like this is like a party every day. LOL
OK so I was at work the other day and it was a pretty crappy day with just everyone around me at work giving me shit and I had just finished lunch and when to go back to work when I found my hand reaching into my left front pants pocket searching for the ol' can that used to be there some 60 plus days ago. I stopped myself and started to laugh about it. Then got this hammer of a reality check ... man ... dude ... bro ... (and whatever other term you want to use) you are like so insane. You see ... I get it ... I am an addict and I will always have this compulsion to reach for a can. But Thanks to my Kill the Can brothers ... what I did instead of planning to go to the store, buy an can and cave ... I got on my phone and told my quit brother Dean about my crappy day and just the act of doing that ... made my day better. We agreed it would be a good thing to avoid the 7/11 at any rate on the way home but I pushed on through. But I went an read some HOF and HOL posts and man it blows the mind to think this will go on and on and on and I have to stay QLF, ODAAT, NAFAR all those other Acronyms but you know what being addicted to nicotine is like it FUBAR. So I am going to stay Quit and continue to gain more and more control of my life every day, knowing that I will never ever have to entire ball in my hand.

Awesome work on getting through this even though it's the worst week  weekend!  I hear ya on the rude entitled people.  You're not so go forward with confidence in the day!
Day is half done, I have the shifts turned over and I am working on my second 8 hours of this chaos and insanity. But because of all of you my brothers I am sailing through it dip free.
Happy Happy Happy - I made it through the toughest weekend of my year without a dip, without wanting to dip and without killing, wounding or otherwise maiming anyone. Thank you brother for checking in with me and keeping me focused. This site really works so well keeping you focused on the quit. The accountability makes it so easy to stay quit.

This is the first time in my life I can stand up and say I'm a quitter and not feel bad about that. I can also say that I am quit!
Freedom is pretty damn cool bro!
Every victory in this quit fight, big and small, is another solid piece in your foundation. Be proud of it - rejoice in it - do it again. Nice work, man...
50 days ... half way to 100, the QOTD was do I feel confident that I'll make it to 100 days ... 1000 days? I feel totally confident that I'll make it to 100 days and 1000 days too. Using this site and being quit with my brothers has made me more confident than ever before that I will stay quit. Now I have no illusions that I will ever be completely rid of this addiction but I know that with my brothers supporting me I will never take another dip as long as I live.

Now I know I am getting better day by day because this morning I left home without taking any chewing gum and I didn't even think about it until just before 9AM (which for me is about 1/3 into my day) and I feel just fine going through the rest of the day without gum.

I had my first dip dream last night and it was so vivid and so real in my mind but again I know I'm really quit and it was jus a dream because #1 I was enjoying that dip way to much and #2 after a few minutes in the dream I realized I was quit and chunked that dip and tossed the can. Now if that had been real life and 51 days ago I wouldn't have gotten rid of the dip, I certainly wouldn't have tossed out a full can of snuff and I wouldn't have been enjoying it so much.

Brothers I thank you for your continuous support. It keeps me level and on track. Because of all of you I own this quit and the nic bitch can kiss my royal polish ass.
Just remember to not let your confidence get ahead of you. Focus on day 50, only 50 and go forward from there.
I know, one day at a time brothers. And I won't lose focus. For myself and for not one else .... Every day is a new milestone. I really want to get that HOF Knife in my pocket. Something solid to remind me daily of what I consider a real life accomplishment ... staying dip free with my brothers.
