Glad to have you in the group ATV. Let me know if you need anything.
Life is what I make it. Money, love, health and friendship are a reflection of MY choices. I can decide now, and every day, to take responsibility for myself and enjoy success. Today I choose not to chew! -jstump

And that my friend is that beauty of this site. When you had quit previously, I dare say that one thing you lacked was accountability. I am impressed that you made it as long as you did and I have a feeling you will do quite well in your quit, but NEVER underestimate the power of the nic bitch. I congratulate you on a life saving decision and I want you to think of all of our shining faces quitting with you the next time you feel a craving. That was what saved me in my quit. Besides the nice thing about doing this online is you get to picture everyone just as you want whether or not we have a face only a mother could love. Hit me or anyone else on this site up if you need help.

Hello everyone. This is my second and final time quitting this nonsense.

About 5 years ago I actually made it approx 2 months, and then one day I was travelling and I had a weak craving and figured, just one, and thats it...

"JUST ONE AND THATS IT!"

Sounds like something the devil would say.

I had no idea how easily I could be re-infected with this horrible curse.

------------------------

Anyway, I've been on a two week venture to get to this point, now officially 4 days 100% CRAPenhagen free. The first week I "watered down" the awful garbage with LIPTON COLD BREW ICED TEA BAGS -- the large family sized ones, not the individual glass sized ones. I started with 1 bag per can and by last sunday I purchased my last can of crap, mixed it with 3 teabags. That was gone by monday night.

It feels great to deny this killer industry $21 in revenue.

I am still using pure tea bags, mostly at work. I'm finding that the fog has passed. This week was rough though, I felt like a moron ( like I've felt since 1980 for ever trying this garbage). I was tripping all over everything, screwing things up, even spilled coffee on my bosses desk. Generally, I'd say this was the single most un-productive week I've had in years.

Anyway, I aspire to join this team and help encourage/guide folks to succeed and get away from this awful curse. I have to earn the right to get there first. I know.

I feel stronger just reading what others have gone through. Now I have to do my taxes, which I have to admit I've been procrastinating and fighting the craving...
