Guys if I don't stop eating my cravings, I'm going to have to buy new pants!
Meh...
You will probably have to buy new pants.  We all gained weight but it's a temporary and small price to pay until you get further into your quit. 
The focus now is doing the One Day At A Time thing.  You got this ED!
Yeah, @EdT3329, I gained about 20 pounds after I quit. I stressed over it for a while, but I knew I was fighting a more important battle at the time getting my quit solid. The weight would come back off. Sunflower seeds helped some with the psychological urge to eat/have something in my mouth. The fake dips helped, too, probably more than anything else.

You can be healthier about it, though. I know you want to snack, so have low-cal or sugar free stuff. Eat nuts or raw veggies. Yes, you'll still put on some weight, but it won't be as much. And exercise as much as you can. Walking will help even if you can't do any more than that.

Don't stress about a few pounds or a new pants size. As Stillbrewing said, focus on the ODAAT right now, and keep rockin' that quit!

Nothing like being quit like a MF out on the Ouachita River / Lake Catherine! @bubblehed668

Got to love being free from the worry of spilling your spitter when you hit the next wave or spitting into the wind and it landing back on the boat!

Today is a rough one again. It's day 32 and I can't focus on work at all. I've got that feeling like my blood is boiling. Feels like the first few days again. Not asking for anything or making excuses and I have no desire to cave. Just posting to vent.
Vent away man. Post here, in your group or use the digits you've swapped with other quitters.
You're in the right place @EdT3329 - congrats on 33 days of freedom!

Thanks to both of you!

The Way I See Our HOF Speeches
« Reply #226 on: September 14, 2021, 06:26:55 PM »
I would like everyone here, especially those quitters who've made it to that 100 day mark but haven't written one, to go take a look at the Hall of Fame Speech page.

Done it? What did you see? I'll tell you what I saw. I saw 69 pages of speeches dating back to September 2018, and I'm betting that doesn't count any that may have been archived from older versions of this site.

69 pages of pain. 69 pages of misery. 69 pages of struggle. 69 pages of addiction.

69 pages of triumph. 69 pages of pride. 69 pages of accomplishment. 69 pages of brother and sisterhood. 69 pages of QUIT ODAAT.

The newer speeches have already been viewed over 100 times. Some speeches have over 1500 views. One Thousand, Five Hundred people have read them!

Who do you think are reading our speeches? Of course our Quit Group members are reading them. Certainly conductors and our outstanding supporters are reading them. We all like to read new speeches. They feed our quits. They strengthen our quit foundations. They remind us of how we felt when we hit that triple digit accomplishment. They make us proud of our quit brothers and sisters.

You know who else is reading these speeches? Yeah, you know. The man or woman lurking on the site. The person who desperately wants to quit but is scared of what's coming. The young guy who knows this habit he's had for just a few years is a stupid thing. The old guy who's been dipping or chewing for decades and of a sudden has just simply had enough. The woman who's been hiding a taboo addiction for years and is ready to stop hiding. Or the guy like me who got the ever-loving shit scared out of him by a lump on his gum and had to look in his sweet wife's eyes and tell her about it and see the fear that news bred.

We write these speeches for the brothers and sisters we have here at KTC. We also write them for the brothers and sisters we HOPE to have. You never know how your speech, no matter how simple, can reassure an addict on the fence of quitting to come on over to the side of freedom.

Write the speech. Post the speech. Live the speech. You may just change a life besides your own.

Re: Jalapeno Poppers
« Reply #225 on: September 14, 2021, 12:43:31 PM »
@bubblehed668 what's the deal with these poppers? https://www.killthecan.org/bubblehed668-grilling-up-some-freedom/

I always do my poppers with cream cheese/tabasco/cheddar cheese stuffing and then wrap them in bacon before smoking a few hours. I can't tell what's under those sausages or what type of sausages those are.

Anyone else got a go-to recipe for jalapeno poppers?

That is a small white onion, cream cheese & turbinado sugar blended in a food processor and piped into the peppers. The sausage is a cheddar smokie laid on top then wrapped in bacon.

Somewhere in the deep dark recesses of KTC there was an area for recipes and it was in there called ABT's (Atomic Buffalo Turds). I can send it to you if you'd like, let me know.

This is interesting. I love experimenting with poppers but never thought of sausage. May need to try this weekend!

Re: Jalapeno Poppers

@bubblehed668 what's the deal with these poppers? https://www.killthecan.org/bubblehed668-grilling-up-some-freedom/

I always do my poppers with cream cheese/tabasco/cheddar cheese stuffing and then wrap them in bacon before smoking a few hours. I can't tell what's under those sausages or what type of sausages those are.

Anyone else got a go-to recipe for jalapeno poppers?

That is a small white onion, cream cheese & turbinado sugar blended in a food processor and piped into the peppers. The sausage is a cheddar smokie laid on top then wrapped in bacon.

Somewhere in the deep dark recesses of KTC there was an area for recipes and it was in there called ABT's (Atomic Buffalo Turds). I can send it to you if you'd like, let me know.
Made these over the weekend and they turned out great.

I call them the "Crack" of the BBQ World
