Title: Time for a proper introduction
Post by: Scowick65 on January 06, 2011, 09:36:00 AM
It is finally time for a proper introduction. I am Scowick65. This is day 27 in the quit and day 9 on this board. I lurked around this board for days. Watching you post. Sucking your information. I tried to start up an account and for what ever reason, I could not activate it. Finally I e-mailed and Chewie set me up. What a difference. When I first posted roll call I magically transformed from a temporary non-user to a quitter. Hell yea, a quitter. I am all in. Thanks for everyone! Thanks for the board. Embrace the suck.

Congrats Scowick! 17 days is a great start, but it is just that...a "start." Since you've taken the first step, let us help you with the rest.

Now you get to kick the shit out of tobacco companies every day, keep your money in your pocket, and you're saving your own life while you're at it.

All you do is post roll, stay quit, read all you can on this site...especially the dirty stuff. In fact, read that stuff twice. And stare at the tit avatars (or don't if that isn't what does it for you). But whatever you do, stay quit.

You can beat this...and we're here to help, brother!!!

Day one was yesterday for me. Joined you guys today but been lurking for a while. I'm 37 and had dipped since Bush-1 was president. Failed at quitting what seems like infinity times. On December 23 my blood pressure was through the roof and cholesterol just behind. No fucking way to live a life.

So here I am today. Shaky and foggy. Day 2. A little anxiety. Just want to make it through lunch, then dinner. Then tomorrow, then....

I still taste my toothpaste from 4 hours ago :D Gonna start working out Sunday.

I AM A QUITTER!!!

Boil it all down to this: do whatever you have to do to not use nicotine today. Fight like your life depends on this! Because you know what? It DOES! This is life and death. And you are entering into a freedom that only the free can describe. I am 42 days in and I can tell you this, I have never felt as free. You CAN do this. Just use this site. Post roll, keep your word, repeat. Win, day by day.

Congrats! Yep, your right, it's gonna suck. More than most anything you go through. The head games, the physical crap. Answer this though: what is worse- going thru the suck or having to tell your family that you have 6 months to live because you loved nicotine more than them? That is what it really is. Is your quit worth it to you? Treat your quit as the most important thing in your life for a while. Guard it. Be proud of it. Proud to be quit with you!

This day 34 in the quit. It is amazing what you learn about yourself. My wife just left and this is when I would usually crank the biggest dip I could, sit on my butt and chill watching TV. Pure alone time bliss. Well she just walked out the door. Looks like I am replacing the dip with you ugly MFs. Cheers homies. Embrace the quit.

Wow. This post just hit me like a slap in the face wake up. "Alone time bliss" sums it up perfectly for me. For me it was waiting for my kids to go to sleep, I could deal with the nagging from the wife. It's all the excuses to leave the house just to drive somewhere alone, all the early mornings at work to enjoy 2-3-4 dips in solitude at my desk before anyone else showed up. And when everyone had gone home, right back at it for 1 or 2 more before taking one for the road on the way home.

Great recognition. It's good to realize what's going on in your own life by hearing someone else talk about theirs.

I know where your coming from. Almost everyone that I hang around with dips. We all dipped the same brand and flavor, and I was biggest user/addict of us all. Non of them have asked me why or how I have quit. They seem to ignore my quit for fear that I may tell them to quit too. I do look at them and think what dumbasses. They can lean on me if they would just let me show them what KTC is all about. Someday they will reach out, and I will still be quit and lead them here. One day at a time.

This morning was an awesome morning. I am driving to work and the sun is rising. It is going to be a warm pleasant late winter day on the Coast of Georgia and I am hopping from bridge to bridge, crossing marshes and rivers. Absolutely beautiful. I am thinking that 365 days ago I would have had a dip in and I would have been in nirvana. Alone time bliss on the marsh. Radio on.

Today I was in nirvana. No turd in my mouth. I feel awesome...rested...happy...un druged...in control. Life could not be better. Some hard times ahead, but the reward could not be any more.

LOL. Me too. Every freaking Marathon. Every PR. Everything. I dipped right before and right after a marathon. WTF? Did I mention it gets hot in Savannah so dehydration if a factor in training. It was not a factor in my putting dip in my mouth. Ridiculous.

Day 87. $114.87 Saved.

ScowickÂ’s 8 rules for KTC.

The 1st rule of KTC is: I do not use nicotine

The 2nd rule of KTC is: I DO NOT USE NICOTINE.

The 3rd rule of KTC is: I post roll everyday.

4th rule: I am an addict. Lifelong.

5th rule: One day at a time fella.

6th rule: This quit is for me.

7th rule: I build accountability with my Brothers and I have an emergency plan.

The 8th and final rule: I am not unique and special butterfly. Brothers have been here before me. Read. Learn. Serve others.

I am saving this to my page from SkoalMonster. Apparently He got it from CCM.

This rocks dudes!!!

CCM

Let me tell you what you fuckin' need to hear......

Nicotine is addictive and you are an addict. You are all a bunch of big boys (or girls) and know what the fuck "addicitive" means. If you didn't, you wouldn't be here and wouldn't be seeking any type of assitance from anything or anyone.

It also means you absolutely can't have just "one". If you could...you wouldn't be an addict. And anyone who comes on here and says...."blah, blah, blah, I thought I could handle it", may as well have just said...."I'm a super-retarded dumbfuck with the common sense of 2 year-old. Please get me my pacifier. I can't control my own life....so just smack me in the head with a shovel when you're done changing my diaper because I'm not using my brain anyway."

The day you post day 1, is the day you quit. Period. Using tobacco now falls in the category of things you do not do anymore. Ever. Never. Period.

Do you put your dick in a light socket? No.
Do you spread dog shit on a wiener bun and eat it. No.
Do you masterbate to a picture of your mom? No.
Do you use tobacco? No.

Get it? Got it? Fuck it. You're done with it. I hope your quit-fog is miserable and shitty and worth remembering. Good luck...and carry on.

ccm is in an ugly mood today...and is now talking like lOOt to himself....

Below is from the online Etymology Dictionary.

Quit comes from the Old French word QUITE = "free clear". This comes from the Latin word QUIETUS = "free"

So this word is perfect for our use on this site. When you declare I quit, you are saying I am clear or free of nicotine. Lesson over.

quit (adj.) Look up quit at Dictionary.com
early 13c., "free, clear," from O.Fr. quite "free, clear," from L. quietus "free" (in M.L. "free from war, debts, etc."), also "calm, resting" (see quiet). The verb is first attested c.1300, "to set free, redeem" (usually of a debt or suspicion); sense of "leave" is attested from late 14c.; that of "to leave (a place)" is from c.1600; that of "stop" (doing something) is from 1640s. Meaning "to give up" is from mid-15c.; quitting time is from 1835; quitter as an insult is 1881, American English. Quits "even" (with another) is from 1660s.

Free will – The ability to choose an action free from constraints.

You choose to use nicotine or choose not to. It is a simple choice free of constraints. Below is the mindset of an unsuccessful quitter. This mindset will appear on this forum from time to time. This person will begin to apply constraints to change the outcome.

I choose to quit today.

Becomes →

I want to choose to quit today, but I have midterms next week. My head is foggy and I cannot concentrate. Midterms are important. Because of this constraint, the appropriate choice is to use nicotine. I can quit at a better time.

Be careful of this mindset. As you become a successful quitter, you will begin to recognize your mindÂ’s sneaky ability to self impose a constraint to justify nicotine.

Keep it simple. Choose to quit.

Begin with the End in Mind. ~ 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

A successful quitter BEGINS each day with the End in Mind: I will not use nicotine today.

This is based on the principle that all things are created twice. There is a mental (first) creation and then a physical (second) creation. The physical creation follows the mental, just as a building follows a blueprint. Begin with the End in Mind means to begin each day with a clear vision of your desired direction. You create your own destiny and secure the future you envision.

Ok. Looking for some feedback.

I have not had craves since early in my quit. However, I have had three bouts of depression in the 40/50s, 70/80s and 110s. It has wrecked my running. I am running the Boston this year which is supposed to be a real treat for a runner. I am fatter and I am out of shape because I have not been motivated. My training has sucked. I get depressed and sit at home. Probably why I am on this damn site too much. It does help though.

When is this going to end? Advice?

Well bro, there is good news here. The good news is, you are healing! The good news is, you have identified these funks, and hopefully you know that this too, shall pass.

When is it going to end? That's the bad news: I couldn't tell you. Some guys go through these things worse than others. I personally didn't get hit too hard. I identify with the not being motivated part, putting on weight, etc, but I don't think I went through any serious depression. Some guys have.

I think that if it gets too bad, and if you really start feeling down, there is no harm in seeing a doc. I'm not one myself, so the best I can do is offer that.

About being here too much, well, I think that can sometimes happen. I find myself sitting in here rather than making phone calls, or getting work done in general. While this place is a comfort zone, and a place to vent and shit, sometimes it is good to stick your head out in the real world for a while.

You won't miss that much bud...get your ass out there and get running!

I'm earlier in my quit than you so can't answer your questions....

But at least want to offer some encouragement. GET OUT THERE AND RUN!!!!

Next time you're sitting at home, go in your room and put your running stuff on. Tie your shoes and step outside. Then do the Forrest Gump thing....just run. No direction, no training, nothing in mind, no timing, no stressing, no GPS watch, just run. Run for you and run because it will feel good.

I want you to write me a PM every time you run. If I don't get 4 "Ok I did it" PM's in the next 7 days I'm coming to get you fool. Gonna give you a little of this action too...

'tough'

Just do it!

We PM'd a bit early on but I want to share this with others out there who might be thinking of starting their quit. This is only one of a thousand reasons to fight:

Because you can run your ass off better than you ever could while there was nicotine in your system.

I'm at 48 days and have blown past my former wall like it never existed because there is no nicotine in my system. You are at 116. Don't forget what the nic does to you.

For those that don't know, qualifying for the Boston Marathon is a huge Honor.

Stay strong. Take a deep breath. And I can't wait to hear about your race day.

Post by: Scowick65 on April 26, 2011, 03:51:00 PM
You can ONLY be in one of three “phases”:

(1)   Addict using nicotine
(2)   Addict withdrawing from nicotine and in the “suck”
(3)   Recovering nicotine addict

Because phase (3) is much more awesome than phase (1), you must choose do endure phase (2). You then must choose phase (3) again every single day. One day at a time.

Day 165

What keeps me quit today? Two things. (1) Posting in my March 2011 quit group and honoring that promise; and (2) Posting above the line and reading the posts above the line.

Each day I venture above the line I am reminded of where I come from. That is, I am reminded of the misery nicotine causes when one uses it and the misery nicotine causes when one stops using it. Nicotine is an a highly addictive drug that serves no purpose other than to produce revenues for a corporation and relieve the very symptoms it creates from discontinued use.

To all of my brothers in August 2011, July 2011, June 2011 and May 2011, thank you. Each and every one of you are a very important part of my quit. You are inspirational, informative, active and motivated. I gladly quit with you today.

What keeps me quit today? Two things. (1) Posting in my March 2011 quit group and honoring that promise; and (2) Posting above the line and reading the posts above the line.

Each day I venture above the line I am reminded of where I come from. That is, I am reminded of the misery nicotine causes when one uses it and the misery nicotine causes when one stops using it. Nicotine is an a highly addictive drug that serves no purpose other than to produce revenues for a corporation and relieve the very symptoms it creates from discontinued use.

To all of my brothers in August 2011, July 2011, June 2011 and May 2011, thank you. Each and every one of you are a very important part of my quit. You are inspirational, informative, active and motivated. I gladly quit with you today.
Nicely done !!

I quit with you...

Good job scowick! Nice half year

I am not a man given over to hatred, but it is hard not to be perpetually angry at those who produce, sell, promote and even permit the distribution of a substance that has caused so much misery to so many.

I am new at quitting. I have 186 days under my belt, not 1,186. I chuckle because I had a hard time getting my head around not dipping "for ever" 186 days ago. 186 days later I have no where near the mind set I had 186 days ago. I don't know what the future is, I just know it is easier to simply worry about today. Today only. Only Today.

Today I am not going to dip. I will likely run. I will probably smile when I do that. Something special will happen today, actually, one thing special already happened; the drive to work was drop dead gorgeous. The sunrise on the marsh was stunning.

Focus on today = Easy. Focus on tomorrow = Uncertainty and angst. I choose easy. I choose today.

Out and about doing routine stuff. A little bit bored and down. Then, I come into this site and see new guys quitting. I then see everyone rally and help. It makes me happy and gives me renewed purpose in the day.

Welcome new quitters. I am glad you are here. You remind me of where I come.

Thanks Vets. Thanks for what you have taught me. You have taught me much about free will and the power of choice. I that call the shots. 1 day at a time.

Addiction, Self-Identity and 1 Day at a Time

Physical addiction to nicotine is simple. The proper amount of nicotine must be present in a body to avoid the onset of withdrawal. Conquering the physical addiction to nicotine is unpleasant but lasts only 72 hours.

The psychological component to quitting is the journey, the journey of inventing a new self-identity…The Quitter. Notice the vets say, I AM QUIT. They are not “quitting”; they ARE quit. It is a state of being. The psychological term is “Identity Development”. There is no try, there is. Just as addiction can have such a hold on you that it becomes part of your identity, “Quit” can be who you are now.

Observe the addict that is contemplating quitting but would rather quit tomorrow or next week. You see, 72 hours of physical withdrawal is nothing to the addict because the addict has been managing physical withdrawal symptoms the entire duration of the addiction. What is scary? Can the addict fundamentally change his/her Self-Identity? Can the addict quit for the rest of his/her life? Now those questions can scare a potential quitter into choosing addiction over freedom.

There is good news friend. You do not have to quit for the rest of your life. You do not have to fundamentally change your self-identity. You simply choose to quit today. Do not worry about baseball next March. Do not worry about next monthÂ’s exams. Do not worry about TuesdayÂ’s deadline. Quit today for today. The body will adjust. The psyche will adjust. You will gradually and often unnoticeably reinvent what it is to be you. You shall be restored one day at a time.

Musings based on a post by Syndrome:

Lifeboats

Q: Why post roll?
A: It is effective. Habitual posters seldom fail.

Q: Why do you care if I post roll, should you not just post roll and worry about your own quit?
A: Lifeboats.

Lifeboats

Today my quit is strong but what about tomorrow? If tomorrow my quit is weak then I need and want help. I want a lifeboat full of quitters who have voluntarily enlisted to quit and be with me in the boat that day. They have a toolbox full of quit skills and are motivated to help me. I know I can depend on everyone in the lifeboat. We work as a cohesive team. A new quitter simply needs post roll and jump in the lifeboat committed to save his life no matter what it takes. The rest of us in the lifeboat will show you how.

If you are NOT committed to saving every single personÂ’s life in the lifeboat including yours then you need not take up a seat.

Lifeboats

Today's musings

Yesterday in introductions I was fucking with a non committed lurker. Having some fun and trying to figure out what button to push to get this guy to quit. Anyhoo, I posted up a self deprecating comment about being a drug addict. I gave that some thought after I read my own comment. The drug addict thing has been a journey for me.

(1) I remember calling myself a drug addict in my HOF speech. It hit me hard. I kinda knew I was but when I wrote it and read it was an emotional experience. Hard to explain but I do not think I have to explain it to this group. You get it.

(2) I then kinda grew to just to tolerate it. It just is.

(3) I then grew to accept it. Yea, I was a drug addict and I knew I had to honor the rule of addiction. http://killthecan.org/robs/law.asp (http://killthecan.org/robs/law.asp) I had no problem with that.

(4) Now I am proud of it. It is who I am. I AM a drug addict. More importantly. I AM a quitter. I AM quit addict. I can tell people this or make fun of myself or make fun of another hard core quitter. It IS who I am and I like it. This addict quits with you today. Probably see ya tomorrow as well.

Even with an hour to live I would not spend one more sec with the nic bitch, I would not give her the satisfaction of one minute of my time. My wife and family would get every second of that hour with me dip free.

I like being able to kiss my wife whenever I want and not have to think about taking out my dip.

300 days seems so long ago...it seems to me the dawn of time for when I, your trusted squire Billy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLHc-yIAPbg), joined you on your crusades throughout the lands of the Illweaks and the Pantybacks. I recall those days with such fond nature. Seeing you riding high upon your great white stead and I carried along the supplies for our adventures on my faithful mule Rebelius (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdphvuyaV_I&ob=av2e). They say our first fight is always the fight one remembers. And what a magnificent fight it was. I recall as if it were yesterday....

"We had just come from the local inn and you kindly allowed me sloppy seconds of the "wench behind the bar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGXIKGamk2o)"...I was so grateful (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNSs78Li4PI) sir...as you washed the grog from your lip and she washed the love from hers, the heathen shrew was upon us! Out of a dark muddy alley the bitch appeared! The nicotine bitch...in all her madness...calling to you...calling to me...sprung to meet our stride from the steps of the tavern. Her eyes...her smile...her CANS (http://image.xyface.com/image/a/artist-adrienne-barbeau/adrienne-barbeau-75.jpg)...they were amazing! Oh I so wanted to be pressed against her slimy bosom and slurp from her teat. You would have none of it. As the bitch prepared to bend me over you drew you mighty sword and unleashed a power of quit never before seen. I recall children gasping as your pants split...for it was upon this day that your mighty quit balls (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YUuyzQDmjY) of steel were revealed to all. It was quite a sight...the heathen shrieking and beckoning while the sun shone down upon us and the glare from your balls blinding all that passed by. I was grateful you were able to dispatch her that day. You gave me such hope that some day, my quit balls would make children gasp and tavern whores swoon."

Guard your quit men and women.  Post everyday.  Takes 1 minute.  344 posts.  Last post July 5.  Pathetic.  :unsure:

Drink more water, work out, get off my ass, and push through the suck instead of just bitching about how bad it was.

Spend more time on this site, more time in chat, I kinda signed up here blind to what it was all about, if I had drank the KTC Kool aid sooner it would of helped.

Join KTC and post roll. I didn't find this place until I was several weeks quit alone. Had I came here earlier, I think it would have made a difference to those around me. THey wouldn't have suffered as much pissiness.

About 1 year ago, I typed "fake dip" in Google...a miracle transpired.

I observe miracles here every day. I look forward to signing up for another day of quit tomorrow...and I look forward to observing another miracle. Soon another Souliman, 30, gmann, rebel, aglawyer, tazz, Show, Matt, etc... will enter my life and I will be truly blessed for it. Nic, you are a fucking joke.

Dear Potential Quitter,

I see your name at the bottom of the page. My quit brothers see you too. We see you all the time. We see you every single day. Know this, we were once you. Enslaved, but with enough motivation to surf the internet to find an answer.

I have the answer. Like so many things, the answer is simple but its execution is difficult. Difficult? Yes, but so worth it. What is the answer? Join this site and post a promise to not use nicotine today. Then you honor the promise. 1 day at a time. We quit just 1 day at a time. You can quit for a day can't you?

The day I posted roll for first time a burden was lifted from my shoulders. I quit says Scowick, I quit. Relief.

There were many times afterwards when I struggled, but there was always someone to reach out to. Something to read and learn from. Someone here that inspired me. I realized I was not alone. Better yet, I met so many people like me that were willing to do so much to help me gain myself back. Slowly, I transformed myself from a drug user to a recovering addict. I am so much happier.

Join me? You were meant to read this. You belong here. Now.

400 days ago I dumped you. I remember it vividly. I pulled you out of the map-compartment of my car, dashed in the December sunlight to a trashcan and tossed you. I had no quit plan. I had no clue. There was no farewell speech. There was no drama. I simply tossed you and drove away.

You, however, had a plan. You executed it relentlessly. You kept me up at night. When I did sleep you played nightmares. You were there every time I got in the car. I saw you at the gas station. You sat by me on the couch. You showed up every time my wife left the house. You accompanied me all day at work and hopped in the car for my commute home. You did not go quietly; you were constantly whispering in my ear.

3 weeks into my quit I joined KTC. Remember how pissed you were? When I posted roll you knew this was a game changer. I was playing to win. I now had access to knowledge. I had access to a plan. I had access to support. I was greeted immediately by Ready, Greg, Mike A, and Banner. Oh, I remember. You threw a big fit. You gave me rage, cravings, fatigue, the fog, stupors, headaches and sore throats.

As time passed I began to realize you were the devil. I realized that something that makes you feel so bad when you refrain from using it canÂ’t be all that good. I began to hate you. I mean really really hate you. No more reminiscing of the old times. No nostalgia. So, of course, you threw a big fit. You gave me depression, the blahs and the blues.

This meant war. Game on. I now had a purpose. I was not satisfied just to dump you. I wanted to wreck every other relationship you had. Every relationship. I would wait for new quitters on the boards. I took great pride in pointing out your lies. I enjoyed destroying your grip on others. That is how I met folks like Corn, Miles, Peace, Rocket, Dante, LLCope, Tazz, Luby and Poker just to name a few.

At day 400, your fits are far and few between. They are no longer class 5 hurricanes. At day 400, my greatest challenge is to simply remember who I am. I am not a unique and special butterfly; I am a drug addict.

Thank you to Souliman, Ready, Chewie, 30, Greg, Luke, Mike A, drome, TCOPE, Show, Mattyc, gmann, J2B, NOLAQ, ODAAT, Corn, Miles, Peace, Rocket, Rodog, Redog, Dante, Cope, Tazz, Ag, Luby, Parputt, Mjollinir and others I simply fail to name.

Addiction, Self-Identity and 1 Day at a Time.

Breaking the physical addiction to nic is simple. It is unpleasant, but simple, and only lasts 72 hours.

The psychological component to quitting is the real journey. Begin the journey by inventing a new self-identity. The Quitter.

Say, “I AM QUIT”.

You are not “quitting”. You are not “trying” to quit. You ARE quit. It is a state of being. The psychological term is “Identity Development”. There is no try, there is. It is now part of your identity. “Quit” is who you are.

Also, observe the user that is contemplating quitting but would rather quit tomorrow or next week. You see, 72 hours of physical withdrawal is nothing to the user because the user has been managing physical withdrawal symptoms the entire duration of the addiction. What is scary? Can the addict fundamentally change his/her Self-Identity? Can the addict quit for the rest of his/her life? Quit for the rest of your life? How is that possible? These notions can scare a potential quitter into choosing addiction over freedom.

There is good news friend. You do not have to quit for the rest of your life. Simply choose to quit today. Do not worry about baseball next March. Do not worry about next monthÂ’s exams. Do not worry about TuesdayÂ’s deadline. Quit today. The body will adjust. The psyche will adjust. You will gradually and often unnoticeably reinvent what it is to be you. You shall be restored one day at a time.

Sco, as usual, you hit the nail on he head.

I've been freaking out because tax season (a huge trigger of mine) is here. I just realized That I am worrying about the time period, and not the day. Fuck my stress level on April 13th! I don't need to worry about that.

I just need to be happy and concentrate on my quit today.

Thanks man.

400 days ago I dumped you.  I remember it vividly.  I pulled you out of the map-compartment of my car, dashed in the December sunlight to a trashcan and tossed you.  I had no quit plan. I had no clue.  There was no farewell speech.  There was no drama.  I simply tossed you and drove away.

You, however, had a plan.  You executed it relentlessly.  You kept me up at night.  When I did sleep you played nightmares.  You were there every time I got in the car.  I saw you at the gas station.  You sat by me on the couch.  You showed up every time my wife left the house.  You accompanied me all day at work and hopped in the car for my commute home.  You did not go quietly; you were constantly whispering in my ear.

3 weeks into my quit I joined KTC.  Remember how pissed you were?  When I posted roll you knew this was a game changer.  I was playing to win.  I now had access to knowledge.  I had access to a plan.  I had access to support.  I was greeted immediately by Ready, Greg, Mike A, and Banner.  Oh, I remember.  You threw a big fit.  You gave me rage, cravings, fatigue, the fog, stupors, headaches and sore throats.

As time passed I began to realize you were the devil.  I realized that something that makes you feel so bad when you refrain from using it can’t be all that good.  I began to hate you.  I mean really really hate you.  No more reminiscing of the old times.  No nostalgia.  So, of course, you threw a big fit.  You gave me depression, the blahs and the blues. 

This meant war. Game on.  I now had a purpose.  I was not satisfied just to dump you.  I wanted to wreck every other relationship you had.  Every relationship.  I would wait for new quitters on the boards.  I took great pride in pointing out your lies.  I enjoyed destroying your grip on others.  That is how I met folks like Corn, Miles, Peace, Rocket, Dante, LLCope, Tazz, Luby and Poker just to name a few. 

At day 400, your fits are far and few between.  They are no longer class 5 hurricanes.  At day 400, my greatest challenge is to simply remember who I am.  I am not a unique and special butterfly; I am a drug addict.

Thank you to Souliman, Ready, Chewie, 30, Greg, Luke, Mike A, drome, TCOPE, Show, Mattyc, gmann, J2B, NOLAQ, ODAAT, Corn, Miles, Peace, Rocket, Rodog, Redog, Dante, Cope, Tazz, Ag, Luby, Parputt, Mjollinir and others I simply fail to name.

As time passed I began to realize you were the devil.  I realized that something that makes you feel so bad when you refrain from using it can’t be all that good.  I began to hate you.  I mean really really hate you.  No more reminiscing of the old times.  No nostalgia.  So, of course, you threw a big fit.  You gave me depression, the blahs and the blues. 

This meant war. Game on.   I now had a purpose.  I was not satisfied just to dump you.  I wanted to wreck every other relationship you had.  Every relationship.  I would wait for new quitters on the boards.  I took great pride in pointing out your lies.  I enjoyed destroying your grip on others.  That is how I met folks like Corn, Miles, Peace, Rocket, Dante, LLCope, Tazz, Luby and Poker just to name a few. 

At day 400, your fits are far and few between.  They are no longer class 5 hurricanes.  At day 400, my greatest challenge is to simply remember who I am.  I am not a unique and special butterfly; I am a drug addict.

Thank you to Souliman, Ready, Chewie, 30, Greg, Luke, Mike A, drome, TCOPE, Show, Mattyc, gmann, J2B, NOLAQ, ODAAT, Corn, Miles, Peace, Rocket, Rodog, Redog, Dante, Cope, Tazz, Ag, Luby, Parputt, Mjollinir and others I simply fail to name.
Today is day 500. This still sums it up.
Congrats on the half Comma brudda.
That's amazing, thanks for the inspiration, Sco.
You have been an awesome supporter and an inspiration for all of my 283 days, thank you.
Thanks for all the support, Sco.
Awesome.

Period.
Great job and an even better job of paying it forward here. Thanks for your presence.

400 days ago I dumped you.  I remember it vividly.  I pulled you out of the map-compartment of my car, dashed in the December sunlight to a trashcan and tossed you.  I had no quit plan. I had no clue.  There was no farewell speech.  There was no drama.  I simply tossed you and drove away.

You, however, had a plan.  You executed it relentlessly.  You kept me up at night.  When I did sleep you played nightmares.  You were there every time I got in the car.  I saw you at the gas station.  You sat by me on the couch.  You showed up every time my wife left the house.  You accompanied me all day at work and hopped in the car for my commute home.  You did not go quietly; you were constantly whispering in my ear.

My Radioactive Decay

My new quit was a highly unstable, high-energy brain so wired for nicotine and deprived of its drug that it was dangerous. Caution, Radioactive; Pure Hell, the Fog.

Soon enough I hit a half-life. More stable yet still radioactive. Cravings, irritability, insomnia, fatigue, inability to concentrate, headaches and sore throats.

And on it went. Day after day. Half-life after half-life. 1st floor, 2nd floor, 3rd floor... More stable, less radioactive, but never benign. The rate of decay was always predictable, yet impossible to predict.

You never have to be in danger again.

Post your promise.
Stay vigilant.
Protect your quit.
Refuse to cave.

The day I admitted I was addicted to nicotine was the day I controlled nicotine instead of nicotine controlling me. It does not make quitting easy, it just means I call the shots.

Dear Potential Quitter,

I see your name at the bottom of the page. My quit brothers see you too. We see you all the time. We see you every single day. Know this, we were once you. Enslaved, but with enough motivation to surf the internet to find an answer.

I have the answer. Like so many things, the answer is simple but its execution is difficult. Difficult? Yes, but so worth it. What is the answer? Join this site and post a promise to not use nicotine today. Then you honor the promise. 1 day at a time. We quit just 1 day at a time. You can quit for a day can't you?

The day I posted roll for first time a burden was lifted from my shoulders. I quit says Scowick, I quit. Relief.

There were many times afterwards when I struggled, but there was always someone to reach out to. Something to read and learn from. Someone here that inspired me. I realized I was not alone. Better yet, I met so many people like me that were willing to do so much to help me gain myself back. Slowly, I transformed myself from a drug user to a recovering addict. I am so much happier.

Join me? You were meant to read this. You belong here. Now.

Q: Why are KTC quitters so damn inflexible?

It usually goes something like this: “Hey guys, Scowick here, just had a 2nd kid and I promised my wife I would quit with my first child. I really need to do this. I am going to try this time. Try for me, my kids, my wife. Any advice on trying to quit this time? Thanks in advance. Sco.”

Kaaabooom! The flames of hell burn. Poor Scodaddy. And on his very first post.

Q: Why are KTC quitters so damn inflexible?
A: Addiction is inflexible.


The Law of Addiction States, “The administration of a drug to a drug addict will reestablish dependence on that drug.” We did not write the law. We do not execute the law. We simply know the law. This means, by using nicotine once, the user either reverts to full-fledged use or must go through the full withdrawal process associated with quitting. Most do not opt for the withdrawal. Withdrawal sux.

I know, this inflexibility is incongruent with our American culture ~ “I'd like the pie heated and I don't want the ice cream on top, I want it on the side, and I'd like strawberry instead of vanilla if you have it, if not then no ice cream just whipped cream but only if it's real; if it's out of the can then nothing.”
“Not even the pie”?
“No, I want the pie, just not heated”.

Here, at KTC, the quit plan is not tweaked for unique and special butterflies. We butterflies conform to the plan. Why? Because our addiction will not conform. Our addiction is unyielding.

Diffusing the Nic BitchÂ’s narrative

You will likely hear whispers from the Nic Bitch. The Nic Bitch is ONLY effective if you do not understand HER. Knowledge crushes HER.

Realize the whispers in your head are not “you”. It is your addiction speaking - the nic bitch. She will disguise herself as “you” because she understands “you” are the decision maker, not her. The only way she gets her hit of nicotine is if she can convince “you”, it is a great idea to plan, obtain, and ingest nicotine. She has no choices available to her.

ONLY YOU HAVE THE POWER OF CHOICE.

The nic bitch must fool you to get nicotine. Therefore, she is cunning. Her whispers will sound like “you”. She will create the illusion that it is your voice speaking. She will exploit. She knows your weaknesses. So, think about your weaknesses and recognize them. She knows if you like to celebrate with nic, drink with nic, drive, mow, relieve stress…whatever. In summary, she is an addiction cloaked as a person.

Next time she whispers, you will understand it is the nic bitch and not you that came up with whatever hair-brained scheme that just floated through your mind. Some stupid internal conversation. Talk back to her and diffuse her narrative. “Yea, bitch, I just heard you. I know it is you and not me that wants nicotine today. I made a promise not to use nicotine today, so fuck you.” Then punch her in the face.

Me, I like to laugh at her. Ridicule is a very effective weapon. :)

When you dip, you get irritable. When you get irritable, you cannot sleep. When you cannot sleep, your work suffers. When your work suffers, you accidently staple your thunder monster. When you accidently staple your thunder monster, you cannot pass through security in the airport. When you cannot pass through security in the airport, you get felt up by Officer Bender of DFW TSA. Do not get felt up by Officer Bender; donÂ’t dip.

Diffusing the Nic BitchÂ’s narrative

You will likely hear whispers from the Nic Bitch. The Nic Bitch is ONLY effective if you do not understand HER. Knowledge crushes HER.

Realize the whispers in your head are not “you”. It is your addiction speaking - the nic bitch. She will disguise herself as “you” because she understands “you” are the decision maker, not her. The only way she gets her hit of nicotine is if she can convince “you”, it is a great idea to plan, obtain, and ingest nicotine. She has no choices available to her.

ONLY YOU HAVE THE POWER OF CHOICE.

The nic bitch must fool you to get nicotine. Therefore, she is cunning. Her whispers will sound like “you”. She will create the illusion that it is your voice speaking. She will exploit. She knows your weaknesses. So, think about your weaknesses and recognize them. She knows if you like to celebrate with nic, drink with nic, drive, mow, relieve stress…whatever. In summary, she is an addiction cloaked as a person.

Next time she whispers, you will understand it is the nic bitch and not you that came up with whatever hair-brained scheme that just floated through your mind. Some stupid internal conversation. Talk back to her and diffuse her narrative. “Yea, bitch, I just heard you. I know it is you and not me that wants nicotine today. I made a promise not to use nicotine today, so fuck you.” Then punch her in the face.

Me, I like to laugh at her. Ridicule is a very effective weapon. :)

Thanks for the good words Sco. So true. No believing in the lie for me today. It sounded like such a good idea to post up with a dip and work on some writing that I need to get done, but decided to say no thanks instead. Still writing. No dip. Quit.

To Kubiak, November 2012, and Others

Kubiak, welcome to day 100. What have you built? A fine frame of a Quit House, and yes, you did build it.

1. Your day 1 was the day you chose to unroll a set of architectural drawings for your House of Quit. The set of instructions were time proven. House after House. Built to stand. Built to shelter.

2. Soon after, you began gathering your tools: Posting roll. Telephone numbers in your cell phone. Words of Wisdom. Hall of Fame Speeches, etc. Threads and posts from others who have built Houses of Quit; many further along than yours.

3. You surrounded yourself with some of the finest subcontractors around. Not Dr. Doucebag, M.D. peddling some nicotine pill, but hard-core quitters that had already built some Quit Houses. Some damn nice Quit Houses. Some Houses were Historic ~ Day 6,000 one house says. Day 1,500 says another. Some Houses were starters in your same neighborhood. All built to stand. All built with a common set of drawings. All built with the same tools and on the same foundation.

Your job now is to take that frame that you buit and make it weather tight. A shelter for you. A shelter for someone else that shows up, knocks on the door and asks, “How can I build a House of Quit”.

I know you can. One day at a time. Great job Kubiak.

How to strengthen a quit.

This weekend 20 to 30 quitters met in Savannah, GA. We had a range of quit days from 200 or so days to a 6,000+ days. I would hazard to guess we had at least 20,000 days of quit at this meet. I would venture to say three or four of the quitters were instrumental in the formation of KTC.

My observations were the following.

Regardless of the days quit accrued everyone had something to offer. Everyone. Moreover, everyone left with a stronger quit. I watched men that have been quit since the 90s get rejuvenated. They looked forward posting Monday morning with friends that changed their life forever. The nic bitch must have been shaken.

For me, most notably were my quiet observations of the women that came with their spouses. Some had been to a meet before but some women were apprehensively coming to a meet for the first time. I watched their apprehension melt away and a sense of comfort cross their face as they begin to realize that they were amongst a group of men and women that were determined to INVEST in people and insure that they too could turn a life of addiction into a life of freedom. The joy in those womenÂ’s faces brings tears to my eye. They knew their spouses were in the hands of the determined.

Put a stake in the ground. Meet and invest in the fellowship of quit. Attend a quit meet It is an investment that shall repay many times over.

I wish I knew who to credit but someone said, "If I knew quitting was this fun I would have quit a long time ago". Well said friend. Quit on.

For me, most notably were my quiet observations of the women that came with their spouses.  Some had been to a meet before but some women were apprehensively coming to a meet for the first time.  I watched their apprehension melt away and a sense of comfort cross their face as they begin to realize that they were amongst a group of men and women that were determined to INVEST in people and insure that they too could turn a life of addiction into a life of freedom.  The joy in those women’s faces brings tears to my eye.  They knew their spouses were in the hands of the determined.

Put a stake in the ground.  Meet and invest in the fellowship of quit.  Attend a quit meet It is an investment that shall repay many times over.

I wish I knew who to credit but someone said, "If I knew quitting was this fun I would have quit a long time ago".  Well said friend.  Quit on.
Frickin Awesome Sco!!!

Nice race report as well
'worship' great shit Sco. Fantastic!!!
'clap' 'clap' 'clap'
Looks like a WOW post to me.

Well done my friend.
These guys have become almost like a second family to me.
Well put, Sco!!
I'm sorry I missed this back when you first posted it. I've been to this meet two years now, and I will attend every year that it continues. I agree that watching the spouses' reactions was truly an elightening thing. Most notably when Musicluvah sang his personal song that he wrote about KTC. Not a word was said. A silence fell over Scowick's back yard except for guitar melodies and a lone quitter's voice. As I was soaking up the words, I looked around the crowd and was deeply moved. Every quitter was focused on the song and emotionally involved with every word, gathering closer as a group. The spouses and friends sat or stood silently, seemingly in awe of the moment. Even though the words weren't as personal to them, they realized that we are all a part of something unbelievable. The whole weekend, but particularly those few minutes, are something that cannot be described. People were moved to tears.

If anybody reading this has not been to a get-together, you are missing out. I made a post a couple weeks before the meet described above, and it perfectly sums up why I do these meets. Read it in in Chewie's blog post here (http://blog.killthecan.org/2013/01/why-we-meet-the-killthecan-org-brotherhood/) and hopefully you'll understand the value.

Scowick, I can't thank you enough. See you next year, my friend, if not before.

When you dip, you get irritable.  When you get irritable, you cannot sleep.  When you cannot sleep, your work suffers.  When your work suffers, you accidently staple your thunder monster.  When you accidently staple your thunder monster, you cannot pass through security in the airport.  When you cannot pass through security in the airport, you get felt up by Officer Bender of DFW TSA.  Do not get felt up by Officer Bender; don’t dip.

Seems to me you have two choices:
1) Cut off your Thunder Monster.
2) Quit dipping.

A new quitter asked me a question, a great question, via PM.

Q: Looking back, what is the greatest thing that quitting has given you?

A: Freedom. I was a voluntary serf. I self-imposed slave to my own addiction. I no longer even enjoyed dipping, I simply did it to refrain from withdrawal. I now value my freedom so much I wlll never dip again.


What say you? Looking back, what is the greatest thing that quitting has given you?

Took the words right out of my mouth brother. Freedom from slavery. Dipping completely consumed my life. I either had one in or was thinking about the next one to go in every waking moment. Always had to make sure I had it around or had a way to get it. Work meetings, dinner out, movies, travel. All of these things took forethought as to how I could do them and still feed my addiction. My freedom is the thingthat keeps me quit

Q: Why are KTC quitters so damn inflexible?

It usually goes something like this: “Hey guys, Scowick here, I really need to do this. I am going to try this time. Try for me, my kids, my wife. Any advice on trying to quit this time? By the way, it will be difficult for me to post everyday. Anyway, thanks in advance. By the way, this site can use some improvement. Sco.”

Kaaabooom! The flames of hell burn. Poor Scodaddy. And on his very first post.

Q: Why are KTC quitters so damn inflexible?
A: Addiction is inflexible.


The Law of Addiction States, “The administration of a drug to a drug addict will reestablish dependence on that drug.” We did not write the law. We do not execute the law. We simply know the law. This means, by using nicotine once, the user either reverts to full-fledged use or must go through the full withdrawal process associated with quitting. Most do not opt for the withdrawal. Withdrawal sux.

I know, this inflexibility is incongruent with our American culture ~ “I'd like the pie heated and I don't want the ice cream on top, I want it on the side, and I'd like strawberry instead of vanilla if you have it, if not then no ice cream just whipped cream but only if it's real; if it's out of the can then nothing.”
“Not even the pie”?
“No, I want the pie, just not heated”.

Here, at KTC, the quit plan is not tweaked for unique and special butterflies. We butterflies conform to the plan. Why? Because our addiction will not conform. Our addiction is unyielding.

This means, by using nicotine once, the user either reverts to full-fledged use or must go through the full withdrawal process associated with quitting. Most do not opt for the withdrawal. Withdrawal sux.

I know, this inflexibility is incongruent with our American culture ~ “I'd like the pie heated and I don't want the ice cream on top, I want it on the side, and I'd like strawberry instead of vanilla if you have it, if not then no ice cream just whipped cream but only if it's real; if it's out of the can then nothing.”
“Not even the pie”?
“No, I want the pie, just not heated”.

Here, at KTC, the quit plan is not tweaked for unique and special butterflies. We butterflies conform to the plan. Why? Because our addiction will not conform. Our addiction is unyielding.
that's the fact Jack!

Q: Why are KTC quitters so damn inflexible?

It usually goes something like this:  “Hey guys, Scowick here, I really need to do this.  I am going to try this time.  Try for me, my kids, my wife.  Any advice on trying to quit this time?  By the way, it will be difficult for me to post everyday.  Anyway, thanks in advance.  By the way, this site can use some improvement.  Sco.”

Kaaabooom!  The flames of hell burn.  Poor Scodaddy.  And on his very first post.

Thank you for not changing things for me. Thank you for being unyielding and letting me know the way it was going to be. Because of the Ktc way I'm quit today. I've been making a promise each and every damn day. That's 146 promises that I've kept and have every intention of making another promise tomorrow. I have to make this promise daily because I'm an addict. Thanks scowick.

If i did things my way i would be knuckle deep in a can of poison right now.

As I am sure everyone else here has.... I've tried so many versions of my own way to quit and failed miserably! NEVER have I made it past a week on my own! I posted day 52 here today and it is because of the support and accountability we assholes offer each other! I'll take this group of supporters over any other method everyday of the week! Rock on!

My Radioactive Decay

My new quit was highly unstable. A high-energy brain so wired for nicotine and deprived of its drug that it was dangerous. Caution: Radioactive, Pure Hell, Rage, the Fog.

Soon I hit a half-life. More stable but still radioactive. Cravings, irritability, insomnia, fatigue, inability to concentrate, headaches and sore throats.
Then another half-life. I moved on to doldrums, the blahs, and the blues.

On it went. Day after day. Half-life after half-life. 1st floor, 2nd floor, 3rd floor... More and more stable. Less and less radioactive but never benign. The rate of decay was always predictable, yet impossible to predict.

You will always be an addict but you never have to be in danger again.

Post your promise.
Stay vigilant.
Protect your quit.
Refuse to cave.

Then another half-life. I moved on to doldrums, the blahs, and the blues.

On it went. Day after day. Half-life after half-life. 1st floor, 2nd floor, 3rd floor... More and more stable. Less and less radioactive but never benign. The rate of decay was always predictable, yet impossible to predict.

You will always be an addict but you never have to be in danger again.

Post your promise.
Stay vigilant.
Protect your quit.
Refuse to cave.
another great post being a nuclear guy I get it...Keep strong bro you stay strong we all stay strong thanks for being here quit with you today

The Highly Effective Habits of the Nic-Bitch and Why Tomorrow means you Just Lost.

TRUTH: The only way the nic-bitch gets a hit of nicotine is if she can convince YOU to plan, obtain and ingest nicotine. She has NO choices available. Only YOU have free will, the power of Choice.

How does she win? How does a cretin with no free will, no ability to obtain nicotine get it?
1. The Nic-Bitch is laser focused on TODAY. TODAY is all that matters to her. REPEAT, TODAY IS ALL THAT MATTERS TO HER. Nicotine use today = Victory.
How do you counter? You must focus only on TODAY. Not next weekÂ’s test or tax season or whatever. Today.

2. The Nic-Bitch begins with the end in mind - Nicotine today.
How do you counter? The quitter MUST begin with the end in mind. Each Today begins by Posting Roll ~ Begin the Today with a promise. “I will not use nicotine Today”.

3. The Nic-Bitch offers fake Win-Win schemes. She will whisper in your ear and will accept any scheme you come up with about the future if she gets today. She is firm in her negotiations. “Yes, the plan to quit tomorrow is a great plan. Let’s get that can TODAY and enjoy, for tomorrow we genuinely strive to quit”.
How do you counter? Know that she is deceitful. Know that she whispers. Your ONLY way out is NO nicotine TODAY. Period. Her Win-Win schemes are false promises.

4. She seeks to further understand you. She seeks to maintain a relationship. She knows your weaknesses. She knows if you like a dip mowing, fishing, while driving to work. She will whisper in your ear while you are home alone. She will ride shotgun on the way to work. She will walk in the gas station with you and stand next to the counter of multi-color death cans.
How do you counter? Read, Read and Read this site. Many have kicked her ass daily. Learn from them. Know your weaknesses. Anticipate. Any by all means, hate her with vengeance. She seeks to understand you to exploit you and for no other reason. She is evil.

After I read 30's reply and derk40 asked if I was calling out Scowick, I thought I better clarify prior post before scowick hands my ass to me or some other vet.

I was being Sarcastic considering exile's choice to cave. Exile says it is the answer!

Although the logic is good, I would actually suggest the answer is a "Slew" of problems in stead of just two. Because the thinking that justifies using Nic as a coping skill infiltrates thinking in other areas and pollutes the whole damn thing. I think it was Diesel that posted, "it only takes one turd to ruin a whole gallon of ice cream." It was something like that.

Anyway, I due agree with

1 problem + nicotine= 2 problems.

How to strengthen a quit.

This weekend 20 or 30 quitters met in Limerick, PA. We had a wide range of quit days. Newer members to some of our founders, including Chewie. We calculated 23,000+ days of quit with about $100,000 dollars taken away from the pockets of Big Tobacco.

Regardless of the days quit, everyone had something to offer. Everyone. The food was amazing and the fellowship was deep and heartfelt. We all left with a stronger quit. We were rejuvenated and looking forward to posting Monday morning with friends that changed lives forever. The nic bitch was shaken.

For me, most notable was my observations of the spouses. Some had been to a meet before but some were apprehensively coming to a meet for the first time, unsure of meeting their husbandÂ’s strange internet friends. I watched their apprehension melt away and a sense of comfort cross their face as they begin to realize that their husband was intertwined in a group determined to INVEST in people and insure that they too could turn a life of addiction into a life of freedom. The joy in those womenÂ’sÂ’ faces brings tears to my eye. I chatted with 7 or 8 women for quite a bit. We talked about the lying, the hiding, the Ninja dipping and time away from the family. It was their story. It was my story. They now knew their spouses were in the hands of the resolute. A ring of friendship and accountability that drew quitters from across the country.

Put a stake in the ground. Meet and invest in the fellowship of quit. Attend a quit meet; an investment that shall repay many times over. For us? Well, we are already planning to meet again in Savannah, GA January 31-February 2, 2014. Join us?

BaitBanjo said, "If I knew quitting was this fun I would have quit a long time ago". Well said friend. Quit on.

I would say, "Amazing" but this is Scowick. The Energizing quitter. Provided support and went about his business and his quit keeps going and going and going and going.

So I am not amazed but I am lucky I was influenced to stay on course.

Congratulations.

My Radioactive Decay

My new quit was a highly unstable, high-energy brain so wired for nicotine and deprived of its drug that it was dangerous. Caution, Radioactive; Pure Hell, the Fog.

Soon enough I hit a half-life. More stable yet still radioactive. Cravings, irritability, insomnia, fatigue, inability to concentrate, headaches and sore throats.

And on it went. Day after day. Half-life after half-life. 1st floor, 2nd floor, 3rd floor, comma... More stable, less radioactive, but never benign. The rate of decay was always predictable, yet impossible to predict.

You never have to be in danger again.

Post your promise.
Stay vigilant.
Protect your quit.
Refuse to cave.

Well stated Sco....

its been said that time heals....well it works the same with our quit, we just need to make sure that we always remember never to re-introduce that drug into our system, otherwise we start back at D = 1 and start that decay all over again.

Accountability and Addiction

The cornerstone of the KTC process is posting roll daily. Posting roll works because it marries personal accountability and available KTC support.

A large problem in addiction is that we refuse to be fully accountable, accountable to ourselves and accountable to others. This is why we addicts insist a caver answer basic questions after a cave. Accountability. That is why shock waves are felt throughout the site after a big cave. Accountability.

The moment we remain fully and completely accountable for our actions we win. We are not unique and special butterflies; we are drug addicts. Drug addicts with free will, the power of choice.

No. Mine were different. Huge depression. If the doctor says you are ok, you probably are. The bitch manifests her self in different ways for different folks. It was not until 160 days when I knew what "normal" was. I have been crushing her since.

Day 961. FU nic.

So, you wrote the note above and I am just now (220+/-) days finding this out for myself. I may have realized it 20 or 30 days ago, but the point is the same.

I feel like I am just now solving a puzzle. Depression, bouts with anxiety, high blood pressure - shit like that. It was real and I was dealing with it - not really effectively though.

But, now I am seeing that I don't deal with that crap. Since I quit, these issues are gone and I feel "normal" as you noted.

So, my fear was that dipping caused cancer and I was terrified of cancer. But, I am just now realizing that dip causes way more than just cancer. I truly believe that my anxiety/depression/high blood pressure, etc., were all CAUSED by dipping. Since I have quit, those things have gone away.

What a nightmare those things are/were. I'm not using any meds, etc., just realizing that Nic was masking what normal is.

Anyway - just wanted to vent this to you because I'm just now making those synapse connections. A brain without nicotine can make those connections!

There is no I in The Herd

Truth 1: The reason we joined the KTC Herd in the first place is that we failed to quit on our own.

Truth 2: Your personal addiction story is not that special. Many of us could not quit on our own and if you believe you are a finger-banging special needs snowflake you have not spent much time in The Herd. Our personal stories of addiction have so much in common, that The Herd rolls its eyes when you tell us the reasons your quit is different. You are not a special butterfly. Welcome to The Herd. As a proud member of The Herd, I offer a few rules to get you down the road to Quitville.

First, Post Roll Every Damn Day. One cannot be part of The HerdÂ… if one does not join The Herd. If you do not know how to quit, join The Herd. If you know how to quit, be a helpful part of The Herd. If you are going on vacation, join The Herd via a text. If you want to have fun, join The Herd. If you work crazy hours, be the first to join The Herd just after midnight. If you want to take a dump on that quitter grazing over there, take a dump. The Herd will laugh. Poop on the head is funny. Have fun in The Herd. Grazing in The Herd every day is important.

Second, know that you are a nicotine addict. For Life. That means Forever. Nicotine has so screwed up the wiring in your brain that you can never sample nicotine in any form without fully engaging every nic synapse in your body. Big Tobacco ruined your craniac and nothing can change that. You are Herd de facto. The day that we admitted we were an addicts was the day we controlled nicotine instead of nicotine controlling us. It does not make quitting easy; it does mean we call of the shots.

Third, focus on Today. The nic bitch hunts every day. She waits patiently. She knows weakness. She will thin The Herd. She is strongest when you are vulnerable. Always join The Herd and remember you are an addict.

Forth, help another quitter. Your quit is strengthened by it. The Herd gets stronger. You get stronger.

Remember, there is no I in The Herd.

Quit
I quit today and am so glad my money will not support UST and its promoters! I am not financing a terrorist organization that recruits children. I am not contributing to stores making self space and supplying a product that kills 3 million people a year. (World wide) I will not let a can of lies rule my actions and choices. Not today, I quit! You have my word.

There is no I in The Herd

Truth 1: The reason we joined the KTC Herd in the first place is that we failed to quit on our own.

Truth 2:  Your personal addiction story is not that special.  Many of us could not quit on our own and if you believe you are a finger-banging special needs snowflake you have not spent much time in The Herd.  Our personal stories of addiction have so much in common, that The Herd rolls its eyes when you tell us the reasons your quit is different.  You are not a special butterfly.  Welcome to The Herd.  As a proud member of The Herd, I offer a few rules to get you down the road to Quitville. 

First, Post Roll Every Damn Day.  One cannot be part of The Herd… if one does not join The Herd.  If you do not know how to quit, join The Herd.  If you know how to quit, be a helpful part of The Herd.  If you are going on vacation, join The Herd via a text.  If you want to have fun, join The Herd.  If you work crazy hours, be the first to join The Herd just after midnight.  If you want to take a dump on that quitter grazing over there, take a dump.  The Herd will laugh.  Poop on the head is funny.  Have fun in The Herd.  Grazing in The Herd every day is important.

Second, know that you are a nicotine addict.  For Life.  That means Forever.  Nicotine has so screwed up the wiring in your brain that you can never sample nicotine in any form without fully engaging every nic synapse in your body.  Big Tobacco ruined your craniac and nothing can change that.  You are Herd de facto.  The day that we admitted we were an addicts was the day we controlled nicotine instead of nicotine controlling us.  It does not make quitting easy; it does mean we call of the shots.

Third, focus on Today.  The nic bitch hunts every day.  She waits patiently.  She knows weakness.  She will thin The Herd.  She is strongest when you are vulnerable.  Always join The Herd and remember you are an addict. 

Forth, help another quitter.  Your quit is strengthened by it.  The Herd gets stronger.  You get stronger. 

Remember, there is no I in The Herd.

I saved this poem one year after 9/11. I read it every 9/11.

How My Life Has Changed (Hilary North)

I can no longer flirt with Lou.
I can no longer dance with Mayra.
I can no longer eat brownies with Suzanne Y.
I can no longer meet the deadline with Mark.
I can no longer talk to George about his daughter.
I can no longer drink coffee with Rich.
I can no longer make a good impression on Chris.
I can no longer smile at Paul L.
I can no longer confide in Lisa.
I can no longer work on a project with Donna R.
I can no longer get to know Yolanda.
I can no longer call the client with Nick.
I can no longer contribute to the book drive organized by Karen.
I can no longer hang out with Millie.
I can no longer give career advice to Suzanne P.
I can no longer laugh with Donna G.
I can no longer watch Mary Ellen cut through the bull.
I can no longer drink beer with Paul B.
I can no longer have a meeting with Dave W.
I can no longer leave a message with Andrea.
I can no longer gossip with Anna.
I can no longer run into Dave P. at the vending machine.
I can no longer call Steve about my computer.
I can no longer compliment Lorenzo.
I can no longer hear HermanÂ’s voice.
I can no longer trade voice mails with Norman.
I can no longer ride the elevator with Barbara.
I can no longer say hello to Steven every morning.

I can no longer see the incredible view from the 103rd Floor of the South Tower.
I can no longer take my life for granted.

The poem is powerful and really personalizes the loss. I grew up about 30 miles out of Manhattan, and my home town lost close to the same number of people on 9/11. Several were friends or related to friends. I know I still choke up seeing the posts here, presentations on the TV and other social media sites. In PA where I have lived since '87, my VFD was on standby in for the flight 93 crash site covering the areas of other VFD's that had responded to the site in Somerset, PA. This day stirs much emotion and deep feelings of patriotism. God bless that lost or gave there lives that day and all who serve and have served this country domestically and abroad in uniform. I pray those left behind will find some comfort in the tributes of the day.

Addiction, Self-Identity and 1 Day at a Time.

Breaking the physical addiction to nic is simple. It is unpleasant, but simple, and only lasts 72 hours.

The psychological component to quitting is the real journey. Begin the journey by inventing a new self-identity. The Quitter.

Say, “I AM QUIT”.

You are not “quitting”. You are not “trying” to quit. You ARE quit. It is a state of being. The psychological term is “Identity Development”. There is no try, there is. It is now part of your identity. “Quit” is who you are.

Observe the user that is contemplating quitting but would rather quit tomorrow or next week. You see, 72 hours of physical withdrawal is nothing to the user because the user has been managing physical withdrawal symptoms the entire duration of the addiction. What is scary? Can the addict fundamentally change his/her Self-Identity? Can the addict quit for the rest of his/her life? Quit for the rest of your life? How is that possible? These notions can scare a potential quitter into choosing addiction over freedom.

There is good news. You do not have to quit for the rest of your life. Simply choose to quit today. Do not worry about baseball next March. Do not worry about next monthÂ’s exams. Do not worry about TuesdayÂ’s deadline. Quit today. The body will adjust. The psyche will adjust. You will gradually and often unnoticeably reinvent what it is to be you. You shall be restored one day at a time.

Sage words, yet again. newer quitters, this man has some great things to say, in case you aren't yet familiar with him.

I'm inspired to add a though too-- it struck me that the addiction came on one day at a time too. When we started in no way did we conceive of what a stranglehold the poison would have on us, destroying our physical health, self esteem, hijacking the most basic emotional hardwiring in our brains, etc. That being the case, it only makes sense that the recovery and healing can only happen one day at a time too. The tendency to jump to big timeframes, much less a lifetime, is just plain illogical and wrong, given how we got to where we are. And finally, i can say that one day at a time has worked very well so far for me. Guy like you Scowick give me confidence that the enjoyment i'm getting from stacking up the days one at a time will only continue. Thanks!

Day 1497

The Highly Effective Habits of the Nic-Bitch and Why Tomorrow means you Just Lost.

TRUTH: The only way the nic-bitch gets a hit of nicotine is if she can convince YOU to plan, obtain and ingest nicotine. She has NO choices available. Only YOU have free will, the power of Choice.

How does she win? How does a cretin with no free will, no ability to obtain nicotine get it?
1. The Nic-Bitch is laser focused on TODAY. TODAY is all that matters to her. REPEAT, TODAY IS ALL THAT MATTERS TO HER. Nicotine use today = Victory.
How do you counter? You must focus only on TODAY. Not next weekÂ’s test or tax season or whatever. Today.

2. The Nic-Bitch begins with the end in mind - Nicotine today.
How do you counter? The quitter MUST begin with the end in mind. Each Today begins by Posting Roll ~ Begin the Today with a promise. “I will not use nicotine Today”.

3. The Nic-Bitch offers fake Win-Win schemes. She will whisper in your ear and will accept any scheme you come up with about the future if she gets today. She is firm in her negotiations. “Yes, the plan to quit tomorrow is a great plan. Let’s get that can TODAY and enjoy, for tomorrow we genuinely strive to quit”.
How do you counter? Know that she is deceitful. Know that she whispers. Your ONLY way out is NO nicotine TODAY. Period. Her Win-Win schemes are false promises.

4. She seeks to further understand you. She seeks to maintain a relationship. She knows your weaknesses. She knows if you like a dip mowing, fishing, while driving to work. She will whisper in your ear while you are home alone. She will ride shotgun on the way to work. She will walk in the gas station with you and stand next to the counter of multi-color death cans.
How do you counter? Read, Read and Read this site. Many have kicked her ass daily. Learn from them. Know your weaknesses. Anticipate. Any by all means, hate her with vengeance. She seeks to understand you to exploit you and for no other reason. She is evil.

The Savannah Quit Meet

http://www.killthecan.org/2015-savannah ... ntry-boil/ (http://www.killthecan.org/2015-savannah-meet-low-country-boil/)

$40,000+ Saved
23,124 Days of Quit
1,000s of miles traveled
200+ miles run
100+ beers drank
18 Quitters
12 States
2 Bushels of Oysters
1,000,000 laughs.

If you have not met your brothers and sisters in arms, make it a point. Nothing solidifies a quit more than friendship formed at a quit-meet. I am always amazed how quickly friends are made at meets. This year Jeepster and Roy were newbies. They fit in so quickly it seemed they were here last year. This shit puts a :D on my face.
