Today has been one of the hardest I have had. It's day 19 and I am still quit. I will remain quit!

Emotions have filled my day. I have cried (like a little kid), ate more than I care to admit and felt uneasy about most everything today.

Tonight I made my first phone call. I called two of the brothers that have been looking out for me, sending me messages and giving me words of encouragement. I made the first call at 7:55pm and did not get off the phone until just after 9pm. To say the least, both of them raised my spirit and I feel a ton better.

I decided to log on and write a little before continuing with my night. I have come to believe the can has controlled me in many more ways than I initially imagined. After thinking about everything over that last 19 days, I have come to a few conclusions. I cannot quit on my own and I must ask for help. If I can beat chew, then there is nothing in my life I cannot change (Thanks brothers). I don't have to worry anymore.

Worrying: Someone once told me, worrying is preparing for something that hasn't happened yet. I have spent way to much time on worrying and not living.

Tomorrow is day 20. Have a good night my brothers and sisters.

There is tragedy in life. That is a fact.

Dipping compounds any tragedy. That is a fact.

Life without nicotine is far better than being a slave to it. That is a fact.

There are tools on this site that if used, will keep you quit. That is a fact.

There are people on this site, that if given the opportunity, will not let you fail. That is a fact.
Caving is not an option, Do something else.

Burn your boats!

"Now I can walk through walls and my quit can talk to god. That's right. Crazy voodoo magic quit." - Souliman

Nicotine doesn't give two shits about your strategery, and that's just a fact. Only strategy that works is promise not to use nicotine first thing every morning, keep that promise all day, rinse, repeat. - teamgreen

Today I am at Day 28 of my quit. I have not made it alone and I just wanted to say thanks to my friends at KTC for this site. I have a long way to go, but I am strong and have a ton of support.

To anyone who may read this, I was at day one, but now it's already Day 28. I quit, I quit, I'm holding on to my quit. I quit with anyone who reads this. You are not alone and there are plenty of us ready to quit with you.

Today is Day 43 and I cannot believe I have made it this far. There have been rough times, but I have made it this far and I remain committed to my quit.

Recently I joined a 5k run/walk, hosted by MAD for Healthy Smiles, to benefit the Oral Cancer Foundation. It's going to be fun and lots of my friends are sponsoring me, thus giving me even more reason to stay focused on my quit.

To all who read this, when you make your decision to quit, your brothers and sisters here at the KTC will be here to support you.

I quit you Skoal Mint. I am not willing to be a slave to the can.

Day 46: Had a headache the last couple of days. Kind of mild headache, but enough to cause me to notice. I remain quit and see the good that comes from being quit. I quit today with everyone at the KTC.

Today is Day 74. I am feeling a lot better than I did over a month ago. I am now working on weight reduction, given I have put on about 15 pounds since I quit. I can deal with that, given it's only temporary. I am proud of myself and more confident than ever. If I can quit the can, I can do anything.

This is still one day at a time, but I am strong in my quit.

Thanks for all that have supported me.

Today is day 89, just one day short of 9/10 of the way to the HOF. Man, this is the best quit I have ever done. I am not going back. Every time I have a craving, a moment of thinking about a dip, I force myself to think about what I had to go through to get to today. So I say hell no dip!!! You can kiss it! I have worked to hard and long for you to control me dip. I am in control now. One day at a time.

On a side note, I've had some headaches lately, some sadness.... but, a good KTC buddie tells me it's just my brain reprogramming and rewiring itself. I tend to believe him, after all, it took 13 years for me to screw it up.

I wish everyone a good quit. I will fight the dip with all my fellow quitters. Keep on the good fight and you can do it. If I can quit, then anyone can quit.

See you in the HOF.
