Keeping this one for me.... day 64 rage with a bunch of retreads coming back In June18, fired me up at work today...



I'm one of the new guys around here... only 64 days, take from it what you want.

I'll tell you what I did to protect my quit.

I FUCKING BURNED THE BOATS BABY....

Read that^^^^

I burned em all...

My wife knows.

My parents know.

I met two quitters that live within 10 miles of me.

I have friended some of the finest, dedicated and scary badass fighting come over to my house and drag my ass on roll quitters.

If I cave, I don't get to feel bad for myself and hide in a corner.... I sir have consequences.

I fear the cave... I am god damn scared out of my damn mind to cave.

I can't cave because if I do, I will have to:

1. Move
2. Get a new phone number- I run a business not good
3. File a protection order against WorktoWin, Leonidas, Golf, Steak, Athan, JGromo Etc... Etc....

Yeah I'm the new guy but I think I've done pretty good so far... Burn the boats, make that web of accountability so deep that your quit is protected.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


And one more thing.... Pretty soon my group will be going to HOF... 100 days Woot Woot.

That's the end right, that's the goal... get to a hundred and life is peaches roses and buttercups.

Not for me it ain't.. why... I want a comma... that's right a goddamn shiny comma.

I tell myself how have all these badass, kick ass quitting comma kings get their shiny toy.

By staying on roll, I see some retreads here today that would have had that shiny beautiful toy but left and fucked it up.

I'll be right here.
Pure quit badassery right there. I'll just say one thing brother ...the comma is not an end game either.
Holy hell! Someone finally gets it. 100 days is just the participation trophy. You want to win? Then do it how the legends do. They embrace their quit. They use their addictive minds to become addicted to being quit and to living the life that was theirs all along. I have my comma, my next goal is a 5 digit quit number. You see, the champions, in any endeavor, always have another goal to reach. Be a champion of your life.

I'm quitting with this badass everyday.

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.

Do not let the actions of others determine the direction of YOUR quit.

Quote from: skolvikings
Better late than never I guess. My name is Bryce and I have been using nicotine regularly since I was 17, so close to 20 years. Most of that addiction has been a can a day of Kodiak. Four sport athlete, grew up in a small town in South Dakota and I think baseball is what started me on dip. Went to college for commercial aviation but Sept. 11th happened and it scared me out of the industry. Moved to Omaha where I started with a restaurant company and spent 15 years working for them. Moved to Arizona in 2002 continuing to work for the same restaurant company. Made the move to the mortgage industry because I had a friend who owned a bank and he recruited me. Right before I made the move I got a new boss at my former gig that I nicknamed "two shakes Rodney" due to his over zealous micro-management and I feared he was going to follow me into a urinal some day, hence two shakes. Married my best friend and have two beautiful, young, hellish boys. I am currently 21 days into my quit and I am starting to grow a hatred for all things nicotine. I wake up every morning and the first thing I say to myself is "I'm not putting that fucking poison in my mouth", then I get on the shitter and post roll. It makes up for my previous habit of putting a fatty in and then go on the chive on the shitter. I have tried to stop in the past but obviously without success, before I was quitting for the wrong reasons, my wife, my family, a health scare etc. This time IT IS DIFFERENT because I am quitting for me.

The last day I used tobacco was Jan 2nd 2018... every Friday on the way home from my office job I stop at the same gas station and buy three cans of Kodiak. I forgot that Monday the 1st was a holiday so I fucked up and should have bought four cans. Monday night my can is getting low and I wanted to be ready for the morning "get up, put a dip in and take a shit." So I go to my briefcase in my truck and low and behold all cans are empty. Immediately panic strikes me, WTF am I going to do, now granted I had plenty for my morning dip but all I can say is absolute panic. I talk myself off the ledge and tell myself I will have one for the morning and then I will stop and get a can on my way to work. I wake up the next morning and put a dip in just like every morning, but today was different. I had an empty can and no tobacco in my possession. So I googled "dip withdraw symptoms" and poof KTC. I read the article that all of you have then I come across the spousal support article. I emailed that to my wife...... I swear to god I still to this day have no idea what came over me but I just said I am done. I am fucking done, I can do this, if I put my mind to something I can crush it. 21 days later I am still here and let me tell you I AM ALL IN. I think the strongest part of my quit is the hatred that is brewing, the sense of embarrassment of all the stupid things I've done in my dipping life. Standing in front of 100 people teaching a training session with a FUCKING DIP IN. Seriously who the fuck does that? I would have a dip in all day at work and spit in the trash can, the poor fucking lady that cleans the office must fucking hate my ass. I hid chewing from my parents... everyday I post roll with them through a group text message for an additional layer of accountability.

I am fucking quit, today, and again tomorrow.

I'm rolling with KTC for over a month now and just realized the intro's aren't locked by live documents. Our resident mountain man (Chris2alaska) turned me on to it. So I go check mine out and your the first dedicated quitter to reach out and say hello.
And I never even knew it was here. You are a righteous brother of quit and then some. Most if not all of the quitters in April owe you a great big thanks for coordinating the show. I'd have been friggin lost for sure.

Just got back from my first dentist appointment with cancer screening post quit. When I told my hygienist (who I have been going to for years, and gave me a light lecture every visit) that I was quit 36 days she started crying and gave me a hug (added bonus she's hot lol). I always declined the cancer screening in the past because I had an out of sight out of mind mentality. I fucking STRUTTED out of that office on cloud 9, everything checked out and Dr. says my gums are healing. He showed me a picture from my last visit a year or so ago and there is already immediate improvement.
I wish I could triple like a post sometimes.

Big, big fucking win today boys. As I have shared I have had a tough week, not bitchin we all have em just venting.

I lost my mentor in a motorcycle accident Sunday in Oklahoma, I've been looking at flights that work with my schedule and I can't afford $1,200 right now. So I start sending out the regretfully not going to make it texts and my heart hurts.

I tell my CFO (and Friend) in the office next to me (who also helps HR/small company) that I won't need Friday off because the tickets were just too much. He asks how long of a drive it is and I tell him 14 hours but I don't have anyone to go with. He says "I'll go man, I've never been to Oklahoma." WTF... are you serious? For sure man guys road trip, I'm stoked.

So I come back in my office and think about these points:

1. Pre-quit no fucking way would I agree to this because there is no way I'm going to ninja dip to OKC with a respected business partner who has no idea I dip.
2. I don't have to go get 3 cans of Kodiak so I am stocked up for the trip
3. I told my CFO (and friend) that I am quit so he will be a huge support structure and would whoop my ass if I try to use Nic because I asked him to
4. I have a ton of contacts I can reach out to if at anytime during the trip I feel my quit is in jeopardy
5. I get to pay my respects to a man I truly care about that pre-quit I would not have been able to because the nic was more important

That last one was tough to type..... thank you KTC and all my brothas and sistas
I'm sorry to hear about your loss brother. Safe travels and text/call me if you need any support along the way.
Thinking about you, and pulling for you man. Great win, keep knocking those days down. stay close to your brothers here
