  • Interests: I'm an ol' country boy from Texas: where I started dipping in the 8th grade over 37 years ago. The US Navy brought me to SO CAL in 1985. I got married to So CAL girl and remained here after I got out of the Navy. I love the outdoors; camping, hiking, hunting and fishing but mostly I love to do wood working. I guess now that I am not wasting money on crap I can have more to do the things I like to do.

It is indeed a great day to be quit!!  Thanks for the reminder to stop  smell the roses  enjoy the journey
Was thinking - I know for a redneck like me that could be a dangerous thing - but I was thinking back to the mid-70's when I started dipping and a can of Cope cost me 32 cents and now Cope is like over 5 bucks a can out here at the 7/11. That's why I switched to Grizzly at $3.69 a can. Man do you want to talk about inflation. I truly thank God and all of you my brothers for getting me out of that cycle of destruction ... and Debt. HOLY CRAP!

I was also thinking about how much snuff and going along with that money I have just dumped on the ground over all those years. It blows the mind.
A can a day where I am is $7-8. I've been spending roughly $210-240 per month on dip. Unreal.

Who pays that much money for the chance at getting cancer and losing half of their face???

Not me anymore. I'm quit.

Glad to be quit with you, BearHawk.

Glad to have you with us Brother. I dropped you my numbers use them if you need too. Keep Strong and Keep Quit. Keep posting roll. It really works.

Man I love being busy because it makes the day fly by, but I really dislike with a passion rude people who think somehow they are entitled. This is my least favorite week and weekend of the entire year. Long days, short nights and a lot of real Jerks. This is what makes my day.

It does blow the mind, I'm trying to remind myself that you can't go back  change the past, you can only remember it  use it to improve yourself going forward.  Inflation indeed!

But I'm finding breaking the cycle is truly a gift from God too as is all the brothers on this site.  Glad to be quit with you today!
It is a gift from God and I am so glad to be quit with you too brother.
I am busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest and will be until Monday. You know what. It's wonderful being quit right now ... I'm so damn busy that I don't have time to think about snuff. To all my Brother's out there thanks for the boost up. With y'all I'm gonna make this quit stick tough.

I'm gonna suggest it was ALOT of times!  Because I've caught myself doing it too.  Heh, even after over a month, there's still alot of rewiring  healing to be done!

It's just makes you laugh at yourself and that is good.  If you can laugh at yourself then you know that sanity is coming back.
Agreed
I am prepping for next weekend. I work as a security captain at an athletic center and next weekend we have a long difficult 3 day sporting event which is a complete pain in the ass, the people are rude and have the IQ level of dirt. In the past when we have had this event and I was quitting I went back to dipping in order not to kill anyone. This time I have the support of my brothers and I am going to stay quit.
Yep, I did the "pocket search dance" many times before I realized I wasn't missing anything.

You will be fine this weekend. Like you said, all of us are quitting with you. As long as I see you post roll, I won't worry about you. Call or text another quitter if things get rough. PM me if you need another number.
Quit with you today
200 days, in I still do the check when I leave the house every morning. Keys check phone yep, can yep, no now its been replaced by my HOF coin. It's worth it. Keep on quitting
Is this Boss be a BUTTHOLE day. no matter how many times I prove the man wrong he still insists he is right. OH WELL HERES TO BEING Quit No Matter What!
What a wonderful clear sunny day. This is like the perfect summer day and this is the last calendar day of summer. I may be working but I had to stop and just take stock of how wonderful a day it is to be quit. :D
