So I got to thinking ... This weekend is the toughest weekend of my year. I am the Security Site Supervisor at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista and this is BMX Olympic Trials Weekend. I is utter madness here for the next three days. At any rate; I've made it through without tobacco two times before but my mind got to wandering and wondering ... So if CA ever passes the law to legalize MJ if it is ok to roll a number and get smoked as a quitter? It's not tobacco? So you quitters from CO or WA please weigh in 'archer'
I'm from Missouri. I vote no.

Kill it this weekend bro.
I say go ahead. I would✌️. Oh, I'm from MN.

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.

Congrats! Awesome work on the 1,000!
Hells yeah!
So even after 1000 plus days I had one he'll of a dip dream last night. Now I am one of those very rare people who are active participants in my dreams and am mostly aware that I am dreaming and such. So it is really funny when I have one of these dreams. In this one I was dipping just every thing I could get my hands on, cope, grizzly, you name it. I couldn't get enough. And I was spitting on everything. Now at no time in the 35 plus years that I dipped did I get so disgustingly bad about spitting everywhere. I woke up without the horse breath of dip shit and no Brown stain on my pillow so I am good 'archer' It is just so funny how I don't think about snuff at all 99% of the time but had that crazy ass dream. Just goes to show ya that you will always be an addict. NAFAR, ODAAT and keep quit bro.
Amazing how the dreams can happen even this far into it!! Had a similar dream not too far earlier than comma. The scary part wasn't the realism of it,  of course there was no washing if possible plow adds needed the next morning either. The scary part was that in the dream I had the biggest FU attitude to all my friends  the quitters on here.
they always seem to appear around milestones. Great reminder of your win.

Honored to quit with both of you bad asses.
I am just so glad to be quit with all you bad asses

I'm trying to figure this out. I'm figurin' out that I'm not so savvy with all this stuff.

I am tryin' to introduce myself. I'm Bear Hawk and I'm in my 50's. I started dipping when I was in 8th grade back in Texas. I've of course quit off and on several times over the years.

I really want to quit permanent this time. I started quitting last week 8/15/13 and I'm doing good.

In the past I used all sorts of methods to quit but I find the cold turkey works the best for me.

I'm a real addict ... I'm the kind of guy who often trades bad habits but this time I'm just straight up giving this addiction the cold shoulder. I'm quit and darn the side effects.

I told my family and my co-workers that I was going to live up to my nick name and be a real bear for a while and well ... it hasn't been so bad this time ... not really.

So Hey there folks ... glad to see ya :wacko:
Congratulations on 1,000 days!!!!!!

This is the second holiday season without tobacco and I am looking forward to it. That first one back in 2013 wasn't so bad; last yearw was better and this one, well as a new grandpa I am feeling so good about this one. After 840 days I can positivelys say each new steps nd stage of life is better without snuff. For any of you new quitters are reading this just know the rough parts pass and then the sun rises and you can cry out to the new day that you are free! Enjoy the quit, your family, your friends and Christmas
Good to hear brother. Thanks for writing that. Have a Merry Christmas. This will be my first Nic free one.
