200 days ago I was in a different place. Full of anxiety and fear, knew I needed to quit but had no confidence that I could do it. White knuckled it for the first few days and then found the site. Had I not found this site and joined I know today I would not be 200 days quit. I am not the loudest on this site, but I do take pride in making my promise every damn day. I have a small network of solid quitters that I rely on to hold me accountable. It does get better and the craves do get easier to get through, but I know complacency can slowly take over. I have to be cautious of these signs of complacency and take action or else....Today I choose to be quit, freedom from nicotine is my choice today. Before quitting I did not have that choice. I am proud to be quit with all of you today.
Proud to be a March 13 Quitter with you Steve. You are one badass quitter. Keep it up. NAFAR!!

200 days is absolutely bad ass Steve. There is a big difference between talking about doing something and getting it done. Sir you are indeed getting it done. Proud to be getting it done today with you. QLF!!!
Yes. Nice.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Bro... Sometimes the loudest and most vocal isn't what everybody needs. Don't need to make waves to be a rock solid quitter and example. 200 is awesome bro! Thanks for leading the way.
I'm loud and I have not proven myself enough yet at only 51 days! So I think the best example can be simply honoring your word over the course of a long period of time. I think everyone here brings something to the table but those of you who have stayed the course over time show the best example. As a newer guy I NEED to see people like you posting big numbers! And 200 is a big number to a guy like me! Keep doing that and your statement rings loud to everyone!

Cave dreams make my quit stronger. SOunds like you are the same way. The dreams suck, but they serve a purpose. Sounds like the accountability is working for you. Well done, sir.

Quote from: Steve
Day 39, had my first cave dream last night. In all the fear and shame it caused, until I realized it was only a dream, has made my quit stronger today. I am grateful that it was a dream and grateful in what I learned from it. I am learning one day at a time that I don't need a dip to cope with life today. Some days are better than others and the thought still crosses my mind, but it always falls back to my daily comittment to myself and my fellow March Quit Brothers. That I can face life without the coping mechanism of stuffing my face with cancer. ODAAT, I quit for today.
Dip dreams do indeed suck. Glad you got something out of it.
I do want to challenge the "life without the coping mechanism of stuffing my face with cancer" idea however.
You do know about the addictive properties of nicotine, correct? So you do know any relief or calm you associate with a wad of worm dirt was only a temporary fix to the anxiety and physical withdraw that nicotine was causing, right? Frankly, tobacco never did anything useful for you, and the sooner you understand that the sooner you lose that romantic longing, which is completely built on lies.
