I managed to be a bit of an asshole today and that's usually not the way I'd typically characterize my attitude. Something is definitely different lately. I'm thinking I should wear a sign around my neck, "Don't fuck with me. I'm an asshole today."
I must admit there is something liberating about being an asshole. Problem is you'd have to be a REAL asshole to be an asshole ALL the time.
Why am I in the intro section? Well it seems to me I can come over here and write some of the stupid shit that goes through my head on a regular basis and no one really has to read it. Plus, I think there is some real funny shit going on over here and lately I've decided I should hang out on this side of the pool. There seems to be less urine in the water.
Speaking of assholes and bodily fluids, has anyone else noticed a major change in their "banking" schedule? I know nic is a laxative so some of this is to be expected but this is getting ridiculous. I used to be so regular you could set your watch by my bowel movements. Every day, regular deposits.
Now I don't know when or if I'll have one on any given day. And when I do have one it's usually a "declarable". Growing up, if you had an epic dump you "declared" it to the family and everyone had to view it to pronounce it worthy or not. Anyway, seems when I have a dump now they're almost all "declarables". I had a "breacher" today.
Well, I guess this is my life for the time being. I'm spending way too much time on this site reading endless lists of quitters and brief snippets of good stuff. There seems to be more meat on the bone over here in the intro's. Speaking of my meat...well, that's enough for now...

I'm sad my family never judged one another's feces. That may just be the bond needed to keep kids off of drugs. Family dinners my ass.

It wasn't quite at the same psycho level that was written about in "Running with Scissors" but it was pretty damn amusing to me and my brothers. Mom wasn't too impressed, to say the least.

Now that's good, quality time together right there.

Today sucks! Mostly because my attitude sucks and when my attitude sucks then I'm in a shitty mood. I shouldn't be, but I am.
On the plus side I'm 18 days removed from nicotine; I'm the best Daddy in the whole wide world (according to my sons); my girlfriend is the best person I know loves sex as much as I do; and my mouth feels healthy.
On the shit side of things I'm just pissed off. I have a case of AssHoleitis that has lasted a couple days now and I want to punch someone in the mouth. As hard as I can...
I need some wood to chop or a box of nails and a hammer.

Rule #12: When quitting stops being fun, break something. Feel free to break all the shit you can in this house. Just stay quit.

working out helps too. Dip rage got me off my ass and back to doing some physical activity. I fly a desk for a living.
Also, I have been going to the shooting range at least once a week since I quit. It's right down the street from my house so it's convenient for me.
I still rage sometimes. It's part of my life now....

I have a heavy bag and that thing has saved more than one persons life over the past 6 months. Highly suggest that.
Fences can be mended but your "word" cannot...once its broken its gone. I guess I'm saying getting through this phase might take a bit of being a selfish asshole to save your life. Can't always fight it off.

thanks Soul. I seem to not have any trouble being a selfish ass. As far as this quit that I'm busting my ass for, I will hold on to it.
Fortune favors the bold...
Be bold. Be a cocky ass and you have no choice but to keep your quit.
Fuck the pansy-ass post a couple lemonade-stand posts and skate out for the week. I'm all in. I purposely want to make it so that I can't cave.
I may not own this yet but I will own her.
I will spank her. I will make the her mine...
Now I'm going for a run. Let's see if she can keep up

The only part I caught was the shitting lol. Dude I have IBS, and I've shit like 2-3 times since I quit. I have no idea whats going on o.o
When people withdraw from drugs the symptoms associated with withdrawal are usually exactly opposite the "symptoms" associated with the use of the drug you are withdrawing from. It happens because when you use a drug chronically, the body boosts chemicals meant to oppose the drug and keep your physiology in balance. When you take away the drug, your body is overcompensated with opposing chemicals and you tip into the withdrawal syndrome. It's like pulling a leg out from under a three-legged stool--it tips over. Nicotine is a CNS stimulant and as such does have a laxative effect on the bowel, so it makes sense that you are going to be "overcompensated" (also read as constipated) when you quit putting the nicotine into your body. Your bodies will re-equilibrate.

Wat.
My understanding was always that by supplementing your body with something that it produces naturally or by something that has an effect on receptors your body adapts to it by producing less of the substance and/or losing (now frivolous) receptors.

Probably a dumb question (because I assume you have), but have you checked out high quality probiotics?

Yeah, I see what you are getting at. I just did some more reading. Seems like a lot of the generalized "I feel like shit" could have a lot to do with lack of activity in an area of the brain called the nucleus accumbens, where dopamine is produced. Could totally be due to loss of receptors or lack of necessary stimulus (missing nicotine).
Sorry for boring the hell out of anyone!

You not boring anyone. I'm going to like having you around. Class up the joint.
On a related note, ole Mule's got this abscess close to his brown eye. Think from wearing all them salmon thongs. What you think? Nobody here got a clue whats going on with the shit. We will send pics.

Okay, I'm not sure I'm liking this too much. I leave my room unattended for a few hours and it gets infiltrated by several anally-fixated addicts and a future proctologist.
From now on all questions and comments shall be directed to the Grand Pubbah of the brainfart room...and that's me.
And now, since it's become a topic everyone feels they need to comment on, I will give you an update on my latest bowel movement.
Background: I'm a regular morning shitter. That didn't happen the past 2 mornings, however, yesterday afternoon I felt the rumblings of production go into 3rd gear and I knew I was in for a good session.
The volume was impressive but there was no form to the beast. It was simply a pile of shit that built up like a Pacific volcano on the sea floor. So I had produced a sea mount but I was looking to make an island. I was finally able to finish the masterpiece and yes, it had become an island.
Not a large one by Pacific island standards. Definitely not a Hawaii. Maybe more like a Guam.
Anyway, shit island was what I got. No form, no corn, no snake, but it did leave an impressive skid mark.

Dip-spit accidents
We've all had the standard ones; drinking from the spitter, spilling the spitter on the carpet, dumping a can in your lap while driving...
Here's one of my worst.
I was doing some yard work and my 2 sons were outside with me. At the time they were ages 4 1 1/2. The older son gets into my car in the driveway to swipe some candy and leaves the car door open. A few minutes pass and I don't see Jack, my younger son.
I eye him in the front seat of the car...Something's not right with the way he looks...
When I get to the open door I see that he has found my spit can and has taken a bath in my dip spit. It's dripping down his beautiful blonde hair. His clothes are covered in brown liquid with little specks of dip. The inside of the car has been sprayed with the same dip spit. It's dripping down the windows. It's in the overhead. All over the seats, floor, and dashboard.
I'm fucked!
I found out it is possible for a woman to have an orgasm, panic attack, outrage at the same time.

Electric toothbrushes
I decided to do something good for my mouth and went out and purchased a SonicCare electric toothbrush. I've had it now for several weeks and I have to say it does an amazing job of cleaning my teeth.
For those of you who still use the manual model you might consider this purchase. I had no idea what I was missing until I got one and brushed my teeth. It achieves a completely different level of cleaning...and it's also making them whiter. That's nice for a change.
We've all abused our mouths for years so if you want a little reward for you quit-in-progress, this is one to consider.

I love my Oral-B electric toothbrush....and the fact that I don't stain my teeth anymore with snuff.

I feel like this from time to time regardless of nicotine levels. I was a little cranky during the suck, but that passed pretty quickly and now I'm back to my normal, lovable self. :rolleyes:
Anyway, when I get into one of "those" moods, I head out to the garage and play with some power tools. I have a pretty decent collection of woodworking tools and nothing says testosterone boost like a 400 pound table saw ripping through some lumber. I call it sawdust therapy. It doesn't matter if I build something functional or decorative...all that matters is making sawdust.
If that doesn't do it for me, I can always clean my guns. LOL 'Remshot'

Driving up the New Jersey Turnpike for my step-sister's wedding in 1987 and it's time for a dip. I was one of those cool guys who popped the lid with my index finger when I packed it...well, I thought I was cool anyway.
So, there I was, driving north doing about 70, packing my can of Copenhagen, thinking I'm all that and the fucking can opens up in mid-pack-swing. Copenhagen EVERYWHERE including in my eyes. THAT SHIT BURNS!!! Oh yeah, did I mention I was doing about 70 on the freeway? I got to have my first experience with driving by braille and somehow managed to get the car off the road without killing myself (or anyone else).
Lesson learned...change your grip on the can and no one gets killed. 'embarrassed'

I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. I don't mean to be insensitive by saying this, but after 1,100+ days of freedom, I honestly don't think cancer is the worst part of this addiction. Chewing dilutes one's life...healthy or sick. Chewing put me on the sidelines. Hard to really live when you're controlled by an addiction. I may still get cancer from my past actions, but I'm going to make the most of the time between now and then. Live each day.
There's something I've been thinking about lately and this post by Smokey has an element of those thoughts.
"Chewing dilutes one's life..."
That voice in my head has said countless times, "I've gotta quit this dipping crap" and then my response would be to NOT quit. Pack another dip. I think each of those instances erodes one's psyche. Over time I was less of a person. Each is a little failure and failure can become a habit as much as winning can. Those failures "dilute one's life".
Now those are relatively "little" failures. Yes, they add up over many years, but they are still individually "little".
Quitting on KTC is a "big" quit. This is effort. We all are putting some measure of our heart and soul into this quit. There's commitment and fellowship and to fail from this level of involvement is a "big" failure.
In that sense, I think many, if not all of us, are fighting for our self-value, our worth. If I fail at this I know it will damage how I look at myself. It will diminish how I look at myself as a father, as a man.
My quit is partly about not putting dip in my mouth and nicotine in my system, but that's only part of it. The big part of my quit is recapturing what and who I am as a man. It's partly about keeping my word to my quit group but it's more about keeping my word to myself.
I had a "big" quit once before this and it lasted a fair number of days; several hundred. When I allowed my addiction to wrap its tentacles around my soul again I actually never feared cancer or death and didn't think twice about losing the cumulative "quit days"; that was just a number. What bothered me to my core was that I failed at all. Just the act of failure is what was so damaging.
In some ways it felt like I traded my soul to the devil that day for a cigarette and a dip.
That's the part that's not worth it in my mind, the erosion of the soul...diluting one's life.

Now those are relatively "little" failures. Yes, they add up over many years, but they are still individually "little".
Quitting on KTC is a "big" quit. This is effort. We all are putting some measure of our heart and soul into this quit. There's commitment and fellowship and to fail from this level of involvement is a "big" failure.
In that sense, I think many, if not all of us, are fighting for our self-value, our worth. If I fail at this I know it will damage how I look at myself. It will diminish how I look at myself as a father, as a man.
My quit is partly about not putting dip in my mouth and nicotine in my system, but that's only part of it. The big part of my quit is recapturing what and who I am as a man. It's partly about keeping my word to my quit group but it's more about keeping my word to myself.
I had a "big" quit once before this and it lasted a fair number of days; several hundred. When I allowed my addiction to wrap its tentacles around my soul again I actually never feared cancer or death and didn't think twice about losing the cumulative "quit days"; that was just a number. What bothered me to my core was that I failed at all. Just the act of failure is what was so damaging.
In some ways it felt like I traded my soul to the devil that day for a cigarette and a dip.
That's the part that's not worth it in my mind, the erosion of the soul...diluting one's life.
well written
Agreed scowick, nice post leahy, captures the essence

I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. I don't mean to be insensitive by saying this, but after 1,100+ days of freedom, I honestly don't think cancer is the worst part of this addiction. Chewing dilutes one's life...healthy or sick. Chewing put me on the sidelines. Hard to really live when you're controlled by an addiction. I may still get cancer from my past actions, but I'm going to make the most of the time between now and then. Live each day.
There's something I've been thinking about lately and this post by Smokey has an element of those thoughts.
"Chewing dilutes one's life..."

You capture a lot of my sentiments there as well Leahy. I feel like the more you realize
who the addict in you is, the more you can separate that addict out.
Good quitting bro.

Day 148
It's complete bullshit that today I am in a funk and thinking about dipping. I know 148 days isn't much in the grand scheme of quitting but hell, it is 148 days. And now...another...funk.
I have allowed these dip funks to get the best of me too many times. They last a couple days and I'm no better off in the end so this time I'm not going to buy into this crap.
Today I win. My addiction loses.
I gave too much of my life to my addiction to nicotine so today I renew my dedication to enjoying my life without the weight of my addiction.
I am strong and I am quit.
I am going to remind myself what it means to be a man.
I am going to keep my word to myself, my family, and my Sept '11 brothers.
Nicotine is not my friend.

Good job Leahy. The funk of the 140's is pretty common around here. Power through.
Looking back on 595 days, I can tell you, the funks get fewer and farther between.
You're winning.

Yep, I had to look back at my thread to double check, but I had a funk around 140--almost exactly day 140.

I get the funks too. However, the way I look at it, I dipped for 34 years...roughly 12,410 days. I'm now 132 days into my quit, so that leaves 12,278 more days until I break even...or, at least get close to it. Each morning when I post roll and make my promise to you guys I also make a promise to myself that I won't consider caving until I've evened those numbers out. So, while I get the occasional funk, I know that I still have a very long time to go before I can consciously think about having another dip or cigar. 33 years and 8 months to be precise.
I'll probably be dead before I can think about having something, so it's all good. B)
Proud to be quit with you today, and more than that, for being your September Pirate Brother! AArrrrrgggghhhhhhh......

You have quit. I know I sound like a lunatic but the power that you displayed just in day 1 is something to behold. Let alone 148. All those prior attempts and failures...they're almost imaginary now. Only because 148 days ago you put your full being behind powering through an addiction. You almost force a "rebirth" in doing so. Forcing your true self forward, to be present, to be counted and the addict is grasping for a handle on you but he's slipping. That's some power right there. And an incredible sense of saying to yourself and the folks around you that you are worth more in this world than being led around on a leash by an addict ego. I quit with you bro.

Day 156
I spent some time today reading through some of the old introductions and was pretty disheartened to realize that the vast majority of them didn't have quits that survived more than a few months. Many lasted much less than that.
I'm not sure what to think of this but I will say that it is a bit depressing to think that so many people come here fed up with this addiction and fired up to quit and last...mere days in some cases. I see many of the same reasons I was motivated to quit being mentioned by would-be quitters and then they just fade into the ether.
It certainly explains skepticism by some of the vets to the newbies coming forward. The past repeating itself on a continuous basis..
I'd like to offer this: Quitting is your choice. Using is your choice. If it's quitting you want then stay here long enough to give yourself a chance. Read enough to understand what's happening with your addiction. Get involved enough with your fellow quitters that you become part of their 'quit plan' too. Post enough about your journey to allow other to understand you.
I think you'll find that if you do that, maybe, just maybe, it won't be 'enough' and you'll make this thing stick.
I'm quit for today...

I regret to inform you fine quitters that Leahy16 has passed away unexpectedly...a couple hours ago.
The circumstances were quite remarkable and I just want to pass on his glorious story.
As many of you know Leahy was formerly in the Navy where he first became a fine mariner and sailed many of the Seven Seas. For the past several months he's been sailing the world's oceans aboard the Mahan, his 24-gun sailing frigate that he build over the past 4 years. He brazenly sailed into harms way to protect the sea lanes and promote freedom on the high seas. While rescuing a family of Israeli sailors, whose vessel had caught on fire and was burning to the waterline, he was attacked by Somali Pirates who quickly captured the Mahan and hung the brave Captain Leahy by his neck from the yardarm. He defied his captors to the end by proclaiming, "Pirates? You're no stinking Pirates. Arrggghhhh, I'm the only Pirate here...I'm a Pirate of Quit."
I just finished reading his online Captain's Log where he had kept his logon information for KTC. In it he also said if anything should happen to him he wanted me to sign on to the site and let you all know that he considered you his brothers and that he was quit to the end.
Many have asked how they can pay tribute to Leahy so I have set up an account that will be accepting donations for his many sons daughters who are now grieving the loss of their father and will soon be living in poverty. Please give often and give generously.
Signed,
Leahy's Mother

Ma'am,
This extreme quitting.
We "post the rolls" post mortum.
Just because your son is lacking the ability to breathe, feel, hear, and touch does not mean he's not an addict anymore.
Everytime a bell rings, an angel has posted roll.
Get the message to his ass. No excuses.

I just finished reading his online Captain's Log where he had kept his logon information for KTC. In it he also said if anything should happen to him he wanted me to sign on to the site and let you all know that he considered you his brothers and that he was quit to the end.
Many have asked how they can pay tribute to Leahy so I have set up an account that will be accepting donations from his many sons daughters who are now grieving the loss of their father and will soon be living in poverty. Please give often and give generously.

Hey Leahy's mom.
Can I pay you in tips?
(By tips, I mean by the tip of my penis. I'm quite the motherfucker.)
If Leahy was a true quitter, he'd find a way to post roll from beyond.
Post roll.
Keep your word.
Repeat.
Dying is weak sauce. Post roll.
As sick as this post is, I think I actually peed myself just a bit. Not a lot, but a bit.
Yes, Mr. Gman, I believe my son "posted rolls" before his untimely passing.

Epstein's Mother, errrr, Leahy's Mother
Ma'am,
This extreme quitting.
We "post the rolls" post mortum.
Just because your son is lacking the ability to breathe, feel, hear, and touch does not mean he's not an addict anymore.
Everytime a bell rings, an angel has posted roll.
Get the message to his ass. No excuses.
I will do that.
Thank you Mr. WasteInYourPants

Lagos, Nigeria.
Attention: Mrs. Leahy16
Dear Sir,
Confidential Business Proposal
As many of you know your son was formerly in the Navy where he first became a fine mariner and sailed many of the Seven Seas. For the past several months he has been sailing to Lagos, Nigeria. Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information gathered from the Naval Academy, I have the privilege to request your assistance to transfer the sum of $47,500,000.00 (forty seven million, five hundred thousand United States dollars) into your accounts for his fine work. The above sum resulted from rescuing a family of Israeli sailors, whose vessel had caught on fire and was burning to the waterline when was attacked by Somali Pirates. This action was however intentional and since then the fund has been in a suspense account at The Central Bank Of Nigeria Naval Bank.
We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas and that is where you come in. It is important to inform you that as civil servants, we are forbidden to operate a foreign account; that is why we require your assistance. The total sum will be shared as follows: 70% for us, 25% for you and 5% for local and international expenses incidental to the transfer.
The transfer is risk free on both sides. I am an accountant with the Nigerian Navy Bank. If you find this proposal acceptable, we shall require the following documents:
(a) your banker's name, telephone, account and fax numbers.
(B) your private telephone and fax numbers —for confidentiality and easy communication.
© your letter-headed paper stamped and signed.
Alternatively we will furnish you with the text of what to type into your letter-headed paper, along with a breakdown explaining, comprehensively what we require of you. The business will take us thirty (30) working days to accomplish.
Please reply urgently.
Best regards,
Al Nyerere Scowick65

I would like to salute Robert Hegyes who was the actor who played one of my all-time favorite characters, Juan Epstein, in "Welcome Back Kotter". He passed away this week from a heart attack.
Those of you who remember the show may recall that Epstein almost always failed to do his assignments and offered, as an excuse, a note which was always signed, "signed Epstein's mother". This was my inspiration in signing the letter regarding my heroic and inspirational "death" (look further down in my intro thread) a couple weeks ago.
Long live the memory of Juan Epstein, my favorite Puerto Rican Jew :lol:

No other Juan Epstein fans? Very disappointing.

Hey Leahy's mom.
Can I pay you in tips?
(By tips, I mean by the tip of my penis. I'm quite the motherfucker.)
If Leahy was a true quitter, he'd find a way to post roll from beyond.
Post roll.
Keep your word.
Repeat.
Dying is weak sauce. Post roll.
As sick as this post is, I think I actually peed myself just a bit. Not a lot, but a bit.
Yes, Mr. Gman, I believe my son "posted rolls" before his untimely passing.
Signed,
Epstein's Mother, errrr, Leahy's Mother
Ma'am,
This extreme quitting.
We "post the rolls" post mortum.
Just because your son is lacking the ability to breathe, feel, hear, and touch does not mean he's not an addict anymore.
Everytime a bell rings, an angel has posted roll.
Get the message to his ass. No excuses.
I will do that.
Thank you Mr. WasteInYourPants
Check your pm.
My waste is your gain.
;)
WastePants, my son mentioned in his journal that you were an awesome quitter and an inspiration to him in keeping his quit strong.
Now let's get back to the grieving of this great Mariner of Peace and please start writing those checks.
Mrs. Leahy:
Your son was also a badass quitter and inspiration to me as well.
He also had nice legs.
Aren't those legs awesome? They belong to my girlfriend who's 6'1" with a 36" inseam...those legs go forever
Mrs. Leahy....
I didn't know you swang that way.
You dirty minx.
(and yes, you lucky bastard).
Crap! You busted me. Okay, Leahy isn't really dead. It's been me all along and I just wanted to be like TexasFireman93 and go down in flames a hero and martyr.
I guess I'll just stay quit instead...
Lagos, Nigeria.
Attention: Mrs. Leahy16
Dear Sir,
Confidential Business Proposal
As many of you know your son was formerly in the Navy where he first became a fine mariner and sailed many of the Seven Seas. For the past several months he has been sailing to Lagos, Nigeria. Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information gathered from the Naval Academy, I have the privilege to request your assistance to transfer the sum of $47,500,000.00 (forty seven million, five hundred thousand United States dollars) into your accounts for his fine work. The above sum resulted from rescuing a family of Israeli sailors, whose vessel had caught on fire and was burning to the waterline when was attacked by Somali Pirates. This action was however intentional and since then the fund has been in a suspense account at The Central Bank Of Nigeria Naval Bank.
We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas and that is where you come in. It is important to inform you that as civil servants, we are forbidden to operate a foreign account; that is why we require your assistance. The total sum will be shared as follows: 70% for us, 25% for you and 5% for local and international expenses incidental to the transfer.
The transfer is risk free on both sides. I am an accountant with the Nigerian Navy Bank. If you find this proposal acceptable, we shall require the following documents:
(a) your banker's name, telephone, account and fax numbers.
(B) your private telephone and fax numbers —for confidentiality and easy communication.
© your letter-headed paper stamped and signed.
Alternatively we will furnish you with the text of what to type into your letter-headed paper, along with a breakdown explaining, comprehensively what we require of you. The business will take us thirty (30) working days to accomplish.
Please reply urgently.
Best regards,
Al Nyerere Scowick65
Sco, that's beautiful
'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup'
Dear Ms. Leahy,
You got your 47 million, yes?
Sincerely,
Al Nyerere Scowick65

No, I have not yet received the expected payment. I have spoken with my bank manager and he assures me that if doesn't arrive he still has some very good property he is willing to sell to me that I should be able to make a sizable profit from. I believe he said it was waterfront...out west somewhere.

A few things have made me stop and think lately about how great it is to be free of the evils of nicotine. My pirate brother DennyX articulated some great thoughts about this the other day in Sept '11 about some of his experiences. Great stuff.
I'm getting married next week to the "legs" in my avatar and we're doubling the size of the family from 3 to 6. We put this Outer Banks, NC wedding together in about 2 weeks, lots of planning, logistics, calls and email. It was actually pretty fun to get involved in my life. I say that because the first time around I sorta just went with the flow. And as long as I had my nic bitch then nothing much bothered me. Maybe it's more accurate to say everything bothered me until I'd get my next fix. Pathetic.
Being involved is a lot more enjoyable. Seeing the excitement in the kid's eyes and the smiles on all the faces. I can't tell you all how great it feels to be free and I just can't thank each of you enough. It's changed my life. You've changed my life. And for that I am incredibly grateful and thankful.
An old friend whom I hadn't seen in some years stopped by for a few hours. At the end of the visit we walked out to his truck and the first thing he did was pack a can, open it, and offer me a dip. I didn't bat an eye at saying, "No. You should quit that shit. Let me know when you're ready and I'll tell you how. I quit 382 days ago."
I can't ever stop coming here. I enjoy making that promise to myself everyday and I simply cannot do this without the Pirates of Quit and the rest of you scurvey dogs.

Day 409
In April 2011 I met a woman that I thought was right for me. Most of you know how that goes typically. This woman was different from all the others I'd dated and certainly different from the one I married. I really didn't want to fuck this one up. Several weeks into our relationship she saw the can of Kodiak I left on the seat of my car as she was getting in. I was concerned. Later that night she asked me about it and I was very open with her about my addiction. I did not promise her I'd quit but did say I would work on it. I decided I only had one chance to be able to say I never dipped again after that conversation and that's exactly what I have done...so far.
That was pretty motivating to me and I have to say that still has an impact on me. Well, I married that woman last week and she and I have a life together ahead of us.
Today I can still say that I haven't had any nicotine since she asked me about it. That statement means a helluva lot to me. I don't want to disappoint my wife. I want to live up to the way she sees me and part of that is being a man of my word. It is humbling to know that can all disappear with a few bad decisions.
There is almost always events or people that can distract me from remembering why I am here so today I just wanted to remind myself. I'm quit so that I can look in the mirror and smile at the man looking at me. I wasn't able to do that when I allowed my addiction to control my life.
Today I'm quit for me. Today I want to thank my beautiful bride for being a great source of motivation. Today I can still smile in the mirror and that's golden.

Thanks. We have four kids already; ages 13, 12, 11, 8 so that's probably enough. Still they won't see me dip.

Posted this last week in the Sept '11 thread but wanted it here for easy access...
I want to share a conversation that I had with my son Jack yesterday.
Jack is 8.
Jack proclaimed his desire to kill a buffalo. When I asked why he said,
"I want to kill a buffalo so I can get their strength just like the Indian's did."
"That would be pretty cool, Jack."
"Yeah. And then I could paint my face with the blood and eat the heart too!"
"Totally beast", I said.
- Pause...
"Dad, you know how you always say I have the heart of a lion?" Jack asked.
"Yeah"
"I think I'd rather have the heart of a buffalo."
- Long proud father pause, feeling the lump in my throat...
"You do have the heart of a buffalo, Jack. No doubt in my mind."
I'm one proud father. Some of that talk about personal courage and having the heart of a lion is starting to pay off.
Jack reminded me to work today to be the man and father that HE thinks I am.
I hope the rest of you Pirates do the same.

Thanks for the reminder. Awesome post, glad it made its way here for all to see. Proud to be quit with a dad who lives everyday to exceed the greatness his kids see in him.

Guy in his late 50's was sitting adjacent to me tonight at my son's high school basketball game. He had a messy dip tucked in his cheek that he was not able to control very well; little bits of shit on his lips, between teeth and visible on his tongue when he spoke. Disgusting.
His tobacco breath was so bad my father-in-law moved to get some distance between them.
Apparently the dip wasn't enough because during halftime he felt the need to leave the gym and returned with a nasty smell of cigarettes radiating from him.
This guy's life clearly revolved around his addiction. He is Nicotine's bitch; completely owned.
I wanted to thank him after the game but he left the gym again with a few minutes left to suck another heater. I think I needed that reminder of what it was like to be a slave.
Stay free. Stay clean. Don't be Nicotine's bitch.

Man, that used to be US. Me not very long ago at all. Seeing those still enslaved makes me sad sometimes. If they only knew the beauty beyond...sigh.
