Athan's Oompa Loompa song

Oompa Loompa doopadee dee, if you are wise you will listen to me.
Oompa loompa doopadee dip, it is not smart to fill up your lip!

What do you get when you swallow that goo?
I’ve heard it tastes like a wad of cat pooh!

It shreds your lip and your pocket book too
And there’s that cancer that’s coming for you

You’ve been a slave and your starting to see
How much your life is much better when free

Oompa loompa doopadee duck
Come join us and we’ll quit like there’s no tomorrow
If you want my digits, just ask and they will be yours, but I expect yours in return.

Do not be complacent about your achievements and not to strive for continual improvement when you get to the top. As soon as you let success go to your head, you sink into following familiar patterns and play it safe. In other words, you risk losing your edge.

A year.  Ain't got the words Chris.  Thanks for the calls, texts, and e-mails.  You are the epitome of solid.
Fools count themselves cursed for not rolling with you.  A man can only lift so much but you keep doing it without limit.

DAY 365
« Reply #18 on: January 17, 2019, 10:48:47 AM »
What does it mean to be quit for a year? 

Well, for starters, it is the longest I have been without nicotine coursing through my veins since I started dipping over 32 years ago.  It means that I have faithfully kept my promise Every Damn Day (EDD).  It means that I have WUPP’d (almost (thanks Skol)) every day.  It means that I have held myself accountable and relied on others to help keep me accountable.  It means that I have established relationships with other quitters that I now call my brothers and sisters.

Does it mean that I am cured?  Not in any way, shape or form.  It does mean that I must now work harder to keep from getting complacent in my quit.  The longer we go without nicotine, the longer our addict brain has of coming up with new and exciting ways to try and make us cave.  That cave is ALWAYS lurking right around the corner.

Every day I read something about don’t get complacent or WUPP or Post EDD.  Let’s break these down a little for the newer guys.
Complacency - self-satisfaction especially when accompanied by unawareness of actual dangers or deficiencies when it comes to safety, complacency can be dangerous.

In other words, we get to thinking that we are in total control of our quits because we’ve gone whatever number of days and haven’t had any cravings, haven’t even thought about dip.  You think to yourself that you have mastered your quit and no longer feel like you need to post roll anymore to stay quit.  You drift away and then a year, 3 years, 5 years down the road you are back here posting day 1 again.

Stay vigilante and focused on your quit all the time.  Always have someone you can call if the need arises.  Swallow your pride and admit to yourself that you need the help that is freely offered here every day.

W.U.P.P.

1. Wake Up
2. Piss
3. Post
4. Keep your word
5. Repeat Daily

That one is pretty self-explanatory and by far the most important acronym we use.  If you need it explained further, however, please feel free to contact me.

Post E.D.D.

Post your promise in your quit group Every Damn Day.  If you have a little extra time, go post support in some of the other groups, especially the new groups just starting out.
 
There are several individuals here that have had a HUGE impact on my quit:

Jared, Bryce, Athan, Ryan, Travis, Frank, David to name a few.  The reality is, that everyone that enters these halls and quits this addiction has an impact, however small it may be, still an impact. 

So, I thank every person on this forum that is actively quitting, past, present and future.  Without you, I would still be feeding my addiction.

Tonight, I will celebrate with Peter Gibbons (David) and our wives. Tomorrow I will WUPP again for the day.

If I do not have your digits, please send them to me in a PM and I will send you mine.

Chris

If you want my digits, just ask and they will be yours, but I expect yours in return.

Accountability is a statement of personal promise, both to yourself and to the people around you, to deliver specific defined results.

If you want my digits, just ask and they will be yours, but I expect yours in return.

Accountability is a statement of personal promise, both to yourself and to the people around you, to deliver specific defined results.
Brian Dive

Do not be complacent about your achievements and not to strive for continual improvement when you get to the top. As soon as you let success go to your head, you sink into following familiar patterns and play it safe. In other words, you risk losing your edge.
Roy T. Bennett

You need anything, ask.  You feel strong, help.  This quit is for you but we got your back.

W.U.P.P
« Reply #16 on: November 27, 2018, 07:57:35 PM »
Why is W.U.P.P. (Wake Up, Piss, Post) so important

I have been noticing a trend with some of the newer quitters recently.  It seems that some of you think that posting roll is something you can do whenever you feel the need arises.  It does not merit a very high rung in your priority ladder.  Let me ask you this:  Where in your priorities did that first dip of the day fall?  I will bet it was very high on the list, if not first.  That is where your quit needs to be or you will fail.  I have seen it so many times.  We all want you to be quit, but we can't quit for you.  The decision has to be yours.
 
Posting your promise on this forum every day, EARLY in the day, is what has kept most of the people, who take their quit seriously, away from nicotine.  This is not a game, it is not a popularity contest, it is not a "who can have the most posts" contest.  It is Life and Death

I don't know about you, but I certainly like having my lower jaw, my esophagus and my teeth.  I don't want to die in a hospital bed in pain from the recent chemotherapy session.  Wake the fuck up people.  Posting your promise here every morning is the single most important thing we can do each and every day for our lives.

That is why Wake Up, Piss, Post is so important.  It is a Mantra to make sure we are actually making a promise early in our day to keep nicotine out of our bodies.  Does that mean that you must get up, pee and then post your promise?  If you are able, then yes.  For me personally, I do not give myself enough time in the morning to do that, but as soon as I get to my office, I am on the computer posting up and texting all my brothers that I have numbers for.  On the weekends I am most definitely a WUPPer. 

The point of this entry is to try and get you all to realize that your quit needs to have top priority in your lives.  Letting it slide down your list of priorities will lead to a cave ninety-nine times out of a hundred.  Sure, you may be that one percent-er that hangs on to their quit but you lose the Brotherhood and Accountability this site offers and thrives on and makes quitting so much more bearable.

I implore you all, especially you new quitters, make quitting nicotine a priority in your life.  Don't let it fall by the way side.  Stay vigilante, stay focused, stay quit.

Proud to quit today with you all.

Re: 300 Days Quit

Wow,

300 days ...

Congratulations Chris, you are such a BAQ!  300 days is quite an achievement and serves as an inspiration for many of us "youngsters" in our quite as we continue to push through this fog and quit. 

I too want to thank you for your encouragement in my quit and I am still awaiting that smoked salmon ;)

Aumegrad - 114

Much love brother, you are a pillar in my quit and are doing this thing the right way.

Not stepping back.

Not getting complacent.

Paying it forward.

You are a badass even though you screw Caribou.
Caribou?!  I thought it was moose...from behind!
Can't thank you enough Chris.  There are those who make a short trip an ordeal while others make a long trek seem short and pleasant.  You fall into the latter category.  Quit with you anywhere, anytime, just for today.

Thanks for the kind words guys.  Caribou, Moose, does it really make any difference?  Only when your eating them I guess.  You can get lost in a moose a lot easier.. (echoo, echoo)

You guys have been and always will be cornerstones of my quit as I add more walls to keep the bitch out.
If you want my digits, just ask and they will be yours, but I expect yours in return.
