Well, it's day 183. Although I didn't keep score all those years ago when I thought I could quit on my own, I have always said it was 6 months. It was the only time I ever tried to quit, but softball (secondary) and my weakness (primary) brought it back.

So, today makes half a year plus one day. I'm marking that as my third goal to forever. The second goal was 100 days (KTC). The first goal was just make it through today.

I know that I don't post much more than my daily pledge, but this site has kept me going.
Thanks for the share, brother. That is some titanium solid quit wisdom there, I am very proud to have the same quit day as you and to quit with you for this last 183.... Let's quit!
Writing a bunch of post don't make you a badass quitter your word does! And obviously yours is badass! I have to stay on here I'm a full blown addict but it's definitely getting better daily. Damn proud to be quit with you today my brother!

Thanks Pab  Trigger. And congratulations back to both of you and the other Apers.

It's been an interesting trip. I had only tried once before to quit and that was about 20 years ago. Only lasted 6 months. This time I know the "quit" will hold.

Although the quit groups are great and deserve a great deal, constant readings of the introductions helped me the most. Before coming to this site I thought group counseling was a bunch of psychobabble. I was wrong.

Interesting that the worst time (other than the first five days) was between 60 and 70 days quit.

Only downside was my father passed away on my day 96. I was looking forward to telling him about the first 100 days completed. Great thing was during this time ..... the crave never popped up.


Thanks again KTC, Apers, and everyone else.

Newbies: Stay quit with your group. You will reach your goal.
Sorry about your Father my friend. He knows about your Hof! Damn proud of you!

Humorous anecdote about my trophy can: Had been replacing ceiling tiles in my basement. Now the phone line doesnÂ’t work. So IÂ’m downstairs, last night, chasing telephone wires through a 48 year old house. I donÂ’t understand how I fixed it, but it worked. So late last night, I sat down, noticed my front left pocket to be filled. Felt to see if my keys were the problem.

cue “The Twilight Zone” music

My trophy Red Seal can is in my pocket ..Â… Wait a minute here Â….. I wasnÂ’t anywhere near my dresser drawer.

Stood up Â…. Pulled it out Â…. It was the roll of electrical tape I used to wrap up the extra telephone wire.

BTW, on day 25 and IÂ’m still quit. Every once in a while, I still want to go outside and chew on a small tree to take care of the oral fixation, but still haven't.
Lol! Good job on stayong quit! Baccoff helps but it taste worse than your tree! I don't think I will ever get over the craves so I decided to treat it like my mother in law live with it roflmao ! Hang in there brother, that bitch is tough but your tougher! Proud be quit with you!
