Rawls here, in search for community to help drop the addictions. Family owned John Deere dealership and started dipping and buying Snap on Tools 38 years ago. Have quit alone hundreds of times, ready to do what it takes with a good group of successful quilters. Ready to shut up and listen. Quit 40 days ago, only because I was in hospital, with viral lung infection for 9 days. Thinking it's a hidden blessing that it happened and gave me a good head start on stopping. Clean, but need support.

Hi Rawls,
Good to see you are almost 6 weeks quit. You will be in February '15 PreHOF group (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/10685990/437/#new). When you post roll in there, just put your name and your quit date. You will be a shot in the arm for that group.
Just read as much as you can on here. Words of Wisdom, HOF speeches, and other intros will help you mentally with your quit. You will be entering a stretch where you may be feeling bad again. It usually happens around day 70.
If you post roll every day and be active on KTC, you will have no problem staying quit. We are all addicts and we can never have "just one".

Hi Rawls,
I'm in your Feb group. Always good to have one more quitter our group. Just like Sox told you, be sure to post early every day and read what a lot of members have left here for you. It sure has helped me thru some rough times. Day 57 for me and feeling great.
I just went through the holidays, the in-laws, and seven teeth pulled Monday and still quit.
If you need any help PM myself or any member and we will help.

Thanks for the help. Will do.

Just a quick question, been feeling anxious. In the morning all is great, as day progresses, feeling of lump in my throat. Went to ENT doctor all good. Not sure if it's the tobacco or no alcohol. Drinking tons of water, exercising as much as I can. Dr. Thought I should try some Prozac? Just don't want to get hooked on something else... did tall feel anxious, and or use any meds?

Anxiety can and does plague many quitters. With the help from meds under the direction of a good professional quitting can be made less stressful. Just remember to take quitting one day at a time.

Rawls,
Can't speak for others here, but I wouldn't advise on meds as part of a quit regime. You've got the right idea with water and exercise. Get outside as much as possible. You will encounter dip triggers everywhere you go. Take joy in destroying them one by one as you replace those feelings with healthier alternatives. My recipe was more trips to the gym, manual work and chores outside (we live in the country), and shitloads of water, fruit and regular sugarless chewing gum. Find out works for you and you will make it. Also, never, ever, ever miss roll call. PM me if you have any questions or need anything.

Rawls,
Wouldn't suggest drugs either. Sounds like you are doing without alcohol also. I quit alcohol cold turkey in 1995. Took me this long to quit dip. Both at the same time would be rough.
Hang in there ! I am sure you can make it

Be careful and leary of Prozac. Lots of side effects. My wife is a psych nurse and alot of those psych meds have many nasty side effects. If you decide to go that route amke sure you do your homework first. Anxiety is on of the lovely things many of us go through when we first quit. it last a year or more for me. I still get it form time to time but in much smaller sample sizes.

Thanks guys.

Went to dinner party last night... told my wife we may need to come home early, so I could run around the block. After talking with you guy's on intro it was like an elephant lifted off my back. We stayed at party till 10:30! No alcohol, no dip. Slept a lot better last night also.
Thanks to all you men for responding yesterday. I can't wait to start helping others, going through this suffering. I'm learning, and getting stronger every day.

Strong start to a good quit right here!

That's why we are all here. To help each other. I didn't understand when I first came here, but everyone here showed me that's what it's all about.
Stay strong.

I think you'll find your quit easier with support from the KTC folks. Make friends, get numbers for texting, it can make the difference.
-
Mountain top last night. But triggers on every turn today. Crazy. Spent couple hours reading on Web page sure helps. ZCowboy, I read about your first week, congrats on one year anniversary yesterday. Your a stud.
I'm gonna go for today. It's the hardest thing I've done. I just want to celebrate, but hard to celebrate without dipping.
Also hard to celebrate without a face. Or being fed though a tube. Half way though the day, looking forward to going to bed early and getting this "in the valley day" behind me.
Pisses me off I ever started this crap!

I need to start collecting some. I am at around the 30 hour mark, and feeling good. Sometimes you need a voice telling you a positive.

Morning, men. Out with the wife yesterday and last night. Welcome drewdrew, I'll send you a personal here in a bit with my number, call me anytime. Saw my first movie without dip last night, hard to watch when wife kissing on me the whole time. This quit is getting better!!

Rawls, yes one of the nice side-benefits of quitting dip is that your wife will love up on your more. Happened with me too, and I'm not complaining! :-)

Congrats on a great choice, Rawls! 40 days is HUGE. Your system is running clean for the first time in over 30 years. You ought to be pumped about that. Every day clean is cause to celebrate. Take notice of your success. YOU ARE CALLING THE SHOTS NOW. YOU ARE LIVING FREE!!!
I recall 40 days being sorta blah...just plugging along adding plus-one's. But there is nothing blah about success. Feel it. Embrace it. Recognize it. You are a bad-ass quitter. Quitting is a privilege reserved to those who have the guts to do it. You have what it takes. Congrats, sir!
I don't know when the withdrawals went away. I don't recall when quitting became easy. But both things happened. Posting roll is now second nature. The triggers are few and really far between. So, am I cured? Shit no...I'm just not dipping today. And that's all there is to it...deciding to make a change, and then making it happen...ONE DAY AT A TIME.

This: "Also hard to celebrate without a face. Or being fed though a tube" - YES! Congrats on quitting. Really nice reading every-ones stories.
Regards,
Matt (I'm only on day 6-ish) but this (and every) story here is an inspiration - congrats again.

I remember my first dip as a kid. Got dizzy, nausea, burned lip - why the hell I ever did more than once is beyond me. 35 years later I was still gong strong and couldn't wait to hit my can again.
I look at the DT's as getting my old self back. Sort of pre-pollution days (if that makes any sense). The reverse of what I went through to start chewing.
I'm sure as hell no doctor but trading one drug for another seems sketchy.
-
Thanks men, one day at a time.
Something NEW I learned last night. Never knew I was avoiding my wife or putting her second. You know that "I'll come to bed here in a bit, so I could get satisfied twice in one evening"... very selfish! Started thinking about it and every time I tried to quit before it was for her... after a couple days or weeks I was just Pissed off and mad at her for making me quit. I can remember one time thinking, if she doesn't like me dipping, she can go find another guy who doesn't . Holy Cow how screwed up is that. And if you saw my wife you would agree, she is gorgeous. Makes since kinda, I've only been married 25 years, been dipping for 38. Nic b#! $/^ was jeolous! New girl in the house! Two girls in the house at the same time, don't work!!
This time I quit for me....not for her, my kids, my parents, inlaws, coworkers, I knew deep down in side it was wrong. I knew I was going to die if I kept using it. Make sure your quiting for the right reason!
Rawls babbling, and out.
Quitting tomorrow with Bean, VCowboy and BAMF
-
With ya on Pre pollution days paulx1. Makes total since. I'm 50 years old... just learning who I really am. I remember that 10 year old little boy was pritty cool. Hell of a baseball player... ready to see what he can become now without poison. If I can go 40+ days so can you paulx1. Let's get er done.

We're the same age Rawls. Married 23 years to a woman way better than me. Between us quitters - I'm not making a big deal of this around the house - I'm just NOT chewing. If the wife or kids notice I'll just say I quit.
I'm done though. Period. If I have to bite down on a stick (like in the days they chopped off your leg without anesthesia) then that's what I'll do.
A couple of guys told me they use this site like a journal and now I get what they mean. If I'm having a close call I just come back here and read what I wrote for the world to see and wonder if one dip is worth going back on my word.
Well, there's that and I'm convinced that if I cave now some of my new March 2015 teammates will come over to my house and sock me in the head. haha
-
We're the same age and on the same page. Quitting with you tomorrow. I'll find your intro. Looking forward to one more day!
-
With a tag like Rawls, I figured you for a Lubbock area dude. Looks like your'e going in with the right mindset. I can relate. Look forward to putting this shit behind us ODAAT.

Well done Rawls! A big part of quitting for GOOD is you go thru all the pain and suffering and you come out the other side in great health, but you remember the struggle and NEVER want to go thru it again. Everyday you stay quit is followed by an even better day! Be well!

Thanks NIWOT,
Still S$#@s, Im really sick of talking about all the "First time I've done this without a dip." Last Night was huge! First NYE without alcohol and nicotine, probably for 40+years. Amazing how I felt this morning, actually started laughing about it. Then my wife told me this morning that there was no need for me to go to a scheduled sleep study. My snoring is gone! What the heck... Brother, I've been sick for 38 years! Every day is a new adventure...Still pissed off I ever started this crap... Just mad about all that time of deception.
-
Rawls, love see you supporting new quitters! Proud to quit with you!

Thanks spud....
Not what I could be, or should be, but better than what I used to be. ODAAT

Thanks for helping me through my first few days! God bless! Glad to be quit with you friend!

Rawls, man your efforts in helping other newbies has not gone unnoticed on my part. As b-loMatt would say, "I smell a quitter"
Good job Brother!

Somethiing I wanted on my intro page.
Some great words of wisdom from Redtrain14. - 2541
I remember it vividly to this dayÂ…..Day 75 quit. I was driving around in my truck during work, not really sure what I was doing. IÂ’m sure I had some work task that I was supposed to do but I found myself just driving aimlessly. I had two Gatorade bottles in my cup holders full of sunflower seeds, atomic fire ball wrappers all over the floor and I found myself fondling this pack of Extra gum like it was the last tin on Earth.
“What the hell is going on here?”
In my complete and total fog, I found myself thinking about my quit and this website. I was everywhere here and was just starting to find my voice. I hawked this place all day long waiting for the next new post and making sure all my quit buddies had posted for the day. I knew the posting patterns of at 6 different quit groups including all of the groups that had come after me. I knew who wasn’t there when they should be. I would send friendly notes saying, “hey…where you at”. Sometimes I would get a “oh…sorry, got sidetracked at work” or a “fuck off” or…..nothing. The nothings always bothered me. I just couldn’t understand how someone couldn’t be actively working on their quit.
At homeÂ….I was a big turd. At this point in my quit I was coming home and either spending my time on the computer in the basement on quit chat or, falling asleep about 6pm on the couch, waking up about 11pm then going to bed. No ambition for anything. I was a lazy piece of crap to be honest.
I was seriously fed up with everything do with quitting. Dip and this website were directly in my frontal lobe at all times. It consumed my every waking thought and entered my dreams at night. IÂ’d had enough. In addition, I was starting to grow tired of the BS on this site. Almost everything typed pissed me off. OhÂ….if I could only invent a keyboard that can convey tone and inflection on a computer screenÂ…but I digress.
Anyway, I was telling a veteran quitter all of this in chat one night and he made me realize something. I was tired, physically and emotionally drained. I spent so much time being consumed with trying to stay quit, I had exhausted myself. He pointed me to the very timeline that Frazzled posted earlier. Man, was that ever trueÂ…Â… times ten. He convinced me to pull back a bit and simply post roll until things leveled out for me. Best advice I ever received. Before long I was back at it picking up new quitters and sifting the most of the rest of the BS.
Well….I’m not really sure where I was going with this other than to say that this 70 – 90 period of time is a real bitch and proves itself to happen time and time again. Every quit group goes through this lull…..every quit group loses a few folks. If you have nothing to do on a weekend, go pick an old group and read it in its entirety. The pattern will reveal itself. What you will also see in that pattern is the healing.
Time some time to reflect, write your thoughts down and clear your heads. If you feel inclined, talk about what you are experiencing on the boards. If one of you is feeling it, chances are 10 others are too. Your one simple thought may be thought that turns the light bulb on for another quitter. Most of all continue to post your roll call daily and simply leave the rest if you need to. Once thing I do knowÂ…..this weird stretch will pass in time. I canÂ’t tell you when, but it willÂ….I promise.

Day 29 here rawls I've quit it all but soda working on that my friend! Amazing how we all sound alike! Proud to be quit with you my friend!
-
Curious to ask, because I have been thinking about toning down coffee alcohol. Do you think that has really helped your quit / life? Quitting nicotine was huge for me but I'm starting to see that it wasn't the only negative chemical in my life. Would be grateful for your advice
-
Totally.... Both.
Not sure about others but brother I've been self medicating my body for 38 years.
The books and doctors say it takes 100 days for your mind to learn to cope without chemicals. I'm gonna give mine a chance.
Biggest issue for Me so far is celebrating.... That's hardest at first but I'm learning I can have fun without chemical.
Tired of my flesh telling me what I need.
PM me we can talk more.
But honestly... I feel better, sleeping better, eating better, attitude is better, relationships are better all.. Without nicotine, alcohol and caffeine.

I felt compelled to read this intro because I see this "Rawls" person on the right hand side of the intro page as the last comment on numerous threads. Like m'man rdad said intimated, the quit is strong in this one.
Keep doing what your doing Rawls. People are noticing and are becoming inspired by what you're doing and contributing to the site. Newbies, this guy isn't that far ahead of you and has already built a foundation of quit so sturdy, that he's now building a castle on top of it. Watch this guy and how he embraces QLFEDD.
Quitting with you Rawls 'oh yeah'
-
Thank you sir.

A brother or sister that pays it forward is helping themselves as well! Stay strong, and let's keep paying it forward! Proud to be quit with you today.
-
Proud to be quit with my brother! Quit on you got this shit going on!

Hi Rawls,
We've a similare nicotine history (and pab's). I started at 12yo and dipped for 37 years.
Like you, I started when dip was 25 cents/can. Loose leaf or plug was 20 cents. I used to tell myself I'd quit at certain price points......but never did. The claws were in too deep.
It seems your quit is progressing well and you are helping others entering the process. My hats off to you and I'm proud to Quit With YOU.
-
Thanks Blues.
Crazy long time ago........ we are so lucky to have lips.
Only have a couple teeth left.
Snuff ate off my Pinch fingers on both hands years ago!
And that whole time , I thought it was who I was, its was just part of the cards I was dealt.
I liked it.... was proud of it. It was my identity.... Oh and if you don't like me and my tobacco.. hit the road.
Then one day I am in the hospital with my father in law. The lump in his throat was cancer.
Within a week they had cut half his tongue out and were trying to replace it with a muscle from his forearm.
Radiation started soon after and burned his neck so bad he lost all saliva glands.
He is fed three times a day with a tube in his stomach.
His fight is by the second. This man truly understands the meaning of the words .... "going through SUCK".
Then I looked in the mirror........ REAL HARD
My Suck is NOTHING....
IM hear to endure this suffering of self..... and go without poison... and help any and everybody I can get off this S@%#T!
STOP NOW. IT.... IS...... NOT..... WORTH..... IT.....You will die.
Sorry, cant hold it back, still pissed off ... Nicotine is a lie.
77 days NEW Identity!
Rawls out

Rawls sorry I haven't posted on here sooner. You've got a great intro thread going. Keep up the work you do here. Posting on other's thread will definitely help others but helping others also adds more accountability to your own quit.
-
Thoughts and prayers for your FIL and you and your family; I am sorry he is going through all of that.
Your efforts to educate and encourage others are very admirable and appreciated. And thanks for sharing your story--it certainly adds to the strength of our quit.
-
Rawls sorry buddy! No one deserves it! It frigging sucks went through it with my Mom. Will definitely put him on prayer list! Be tough for him and your wife! You are a very strong addition to this site! I'm sure you use that in your daily life. Proud to call you a brother.
-
Appreciate the comments and PM's.
For what it's worth, I was reading a book on addiction.
People LEAN on relationships or they LEAN on chemicals. Everybody has a choice.
I can honestly say it feels great to Lean on some BA FFF and KTC.
Quit On and Thank you!
-
Great quit going on here! You "get it". Proud to QLF with you.

Day 26 and I have been in a bit of a funk these last couple days. I started thinking about this funk and began wondering what the hell it really was. I started some research about nicotine effects and withdrawals and I think I may have figured it out. This probably is nothing new to many of you and I'm sure some of our fellow MD quitters can shed more light on the subject, but for me it was sort of an Ah-Ha moment. I think the fog and funks set in during periods of reduced dopamine levels due to the reconditioning of the brain. It's the brains way of trying to induce a dopamine release that was typically always present but now is no longer there. Trying to fill the void of sorts.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that reinforces behavior that is essential to survival. It's the driving force behind our cravings for food, water, reproduction, physical activity, etc. For example, when someone is hungry dopamine levels will drop and cause a craving for food. Once the stomach is full, signals are sent to the brain and it releases dopamine to create that satisfaction/euphoria feeling. Nicotine itself has the ability to bind with dopamine release receptors in the brain and cause large amounts of dopamine to be released. Kind of makes sense now why it used to be so easy to go most of the day without eating. Also explains why the first few days of the quit are so difficult. The brain has been trained to think that nicotine, because it causes the release of dopamine, is a necessary component for survival. That's why the cravings are so intense at the beginning and why you feel like you can't live without it. Overtime, the brain adjusts and rewires and begins to release dopamine more appropriately. However, because we do have addict brains, there will always be an imprint/pathway that will always desire nicotine. A reminder to the brain that "nicotine is essential for surivival". That's why just one more, one time, one can, won't work. It instantly reinforces that imprint and it comes back to life.
It also explains why the KTC method works. Another instinct we have is to form groups for survival. When in a group, we feel stronger and more empowered to fight anything. Helping each other through these trying times strengthens our bonds and guess what else it does? Yup, it releases dopamine. That's why many of our users are so passionate about this site and what it stands for.
So in short, the secret to getting through the fogs and funks is to KTC it up, eat, drink water, workout, and quit like $#@! Proud to be quit with all you bad ass quitters!

Day 26 and I have been in a bit of a funk these last couple days. I started thinking about this funk and began wondering what the hell it really was. I started some research about nicotine effects and withdrawals and I think I may have figured it out. This probably is nothing new to many of you and I'm sure some of our fellow MD quitters can shed more light on the subject, but for me it was sort of an Ah-Ha moment. I think the fog and funks set in during periods of reduced dopamine levels due to the reconditioning of the brain. It's the brains way of trying to induce a dopamine release that was typically always present but now is no longer there. Trying to fill the void of sorts.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that reinforces behavior that is essential to survival. It's the driving force behind our cravings for food, water, reproduction, physical activity, etc. For example, when someone is hungry dopamine levels will drop and cause a craving for food. Once the stomach is full, signals are sent to the brain and it releases dopamine to create that satisfaction/euphoria feeling. Nicotine itself has the ability to bind with dopamine release receptors in the brain and cause large amounts of dopamine to be released. Kind of makes sense now why it used to be so easy to go most of the day without eating. Also explains why the first few days of the quit are so difficult. The brain has been trained to think that nicotine, because it causes the release of dopamine, is a necessary component for survival. That's why the cravings are so intense at the beginning and why you feel like you can't live without it. Overtime, the brain adjusts and rewires and begins to release dopamine more appropriately. However, because we do have addict brains, there will always be an imprint/pathway that will always desire nicotine. A reminder to the brain that "nicotine is essential for surivival". That's why just one more, one time, one can, won't work. It instantly reinforces that imprint and it comes back to life.
It also explains why the KTC method works. Another instinct we have is to form groups for survival. When in a group, we feel stronger and more empowered to fight anything. Helping each other through these trying times strengthens our bonds and guess what else it does? Yup, it releases dopamine. That's why many of our users are so passionate about this site and what it stands for.
So in short, the secret to getting through the fogs and funks is to KTC it up, eat, drink water, workout, and quit like $#@! Proud to be quit with all you bad ass quitters!

You've got a great Intro thread going Rawls, thanks for sharing. And that's the best summary of the Nicotine 101 article that I have seen on here. Reading solid information that helps us break through the intentional misdirection and false logic that our addict brains use to keep the nicotine coming is like the sun burning away a fog and revealing a beautiful vista. Thanks for sharing.
Quit with you. It keeps getting better

Day 99

Would I dip again?

Thanks Blues.
Crazy long time ago........ we are so lucky to have lips.
Only have a couple teeth left.
Snuff ate off my Pinch fingers on both hands years ago!
Killed 4 bird dogs just breathing on them just before I quit.
And that whole time , I thought it was who I was, its was just part of the cards I was dealt.
I liked it.... was proud of it. It was my identity.... Oh and if you don't like me and my tobacco.. hit the road.
Then one day I am in the hospital with my father in law. The lump in his throat was cancer.
Within a week they had cut half his tongue out and were trying to replace it with a muscle from his forearm.
Radiation started soon after and burned his neck so bad he lost all saliva glands.
He is fed three times a day with a tube in his stomach.
His fight is by the second. This man truly understands the meaning of the words .... "going through SUCK".
Then I looked in the mirror........ REAL HARD
My Suck is NOTHING....
IM hear to endure this suffering of self..... and go without poison... and help any and everybody I can get off this S@%#T!
STOP NOW. IT.... IS...... NOT..... WORTH..... IT.....You will die.
Sorry, cant hold it back, still pissed off ... Nicotine is a lie.
77 days NEW Identity!
Rawls out
This is profound.
No chance you can be on the fence after reading this.
Best wishes to your FIL, Rawls.
Thanks for all the prayers and PM's
They pulled all his teeth, we we'll get false teeth next month for appearance. Don't think he will ever swallow food again. He has come along way on talking.. Most of us can understand.
He is a warrior.
Flush the can down the toilet ... And walk away... Never Ever Turn Back.!

I've had something driving me crazy. And in the past.... After I post it, it usually goes away.
So as stupid as this sounds.............I have a Trigger that is really making me crazy!
Paper cups.!
I collected them for thirty eight years.
I can't pass one up without thinking about using it for later. Seems such a waste throwing them away.!
However, better to throw them away than to need them for spit... Or ICE chunks because the radiation burned all my saliva glands to the point of not being able to swallow or talk.
Hate this addiction... Hate It's reality of suffering it brings to people not able to quit.
I hate the lie.. I hate empty cups.
Venting and staying quit EDD ODAAT

Ha - you are not alone in that one Rawls! I dont know when the day will come (if ever) that I can look at an empty cup of plastic bottle the same way again either. Cans are generally safe though! And of course gallon jugs of milk . . .

Thank you men..
Feels good to get here.
The staple in these days is not to think I have it beat.
But to reach out..
Don't hide your thoughts of craving or caving.
Share them with your accountability group. Then the thoughts go away.
If not... Your ninja addict thoughts become another poison eating away at your soul...
Confession is a good thing.. It is another part of the Truth.
And all Truth will set us free.
I was an addict yesterday.
I will be an addict tomorrow.
I am an addict quit today!

I had to enter this.
After 419 days I finally wrote my HOF Speech.
It's not a speech its a 100 words I experienced in that time frame.
And I hope it will encourage someone to quit.
Ive been waiting to do it for a while..
Not sure why the hesitation.
Untill yesterday morning.
I realized I was trying to get away,
Or get over tobacco.
Not anymore...... Im gonna chase it!
It tried to kill me the first half of my life.
Now I am gonna spend the rest of my life killing it!
Im not running....away.
Im chasing her Ass Now!
Beware "B#$@(h".
RAWLS is in the parking lot doing pushups waiting on you.... 'archer'
And I got some BA, Trained, Ready to Fight, QUIT, Addict Brothers and Sisters behind me.
For you guest....Pick up your mat.
Follow your Conscience.
Flush it. Get in here.....
Nicotine is killing you.
Im ready to QUIT with you today.

I had to enter this.
After 419 days I finally wrote my HOF Speech.
It's not a speech its a 100 words I experienced in that time frame.
And I hope it will encourage someone to quit.
Ive been waiting to do it for a while..
Not sure why the hesitation.
Untill yesterday morning.
I realized I was trying to get away,
Or get over tobacco.
Not anymore...... Im gonna chase it!
It tried to kill me the first half of my life.
Now I am gonna spend the rest of my life killing it!
Im not running....away.
Im chasing her Ass Now!
Beware "B#$@(h".
RAWLS is in the parking lot doing pushups waiting on you.... 'archer'
And I got some BA, Trained, Ready to Fight, QUIT, Addict Brothers and Sisters behind me.
For you guest....Pick up your mat.
Follow your Conscience.
Flush it. Get in here.....
Nicotine is killing you.
Im ready to QUIT with you today.
Rawls 419
I quit with you brother. But I am out of life savers. Lets kick this B@#$%*^@.

This is a really big deal to me.....Thank you.
It's like a new beginning.
I dont have words that can express
my respect for those posting here in my new book of freedom.
I only hope you will continue to join me
in helping every soul that enters the halls of Kill The Can!
No one should ever be a slave to a drug.
No one should ever be robbed of their dreams and battle cancer.
Every letter typed from a new member is a cry for help from a addict chained to a lie.
I hate addiction.
I love addicts.
You, Me, are a special breed.
We may be the only ones capable of helping another addict.
I quit with you all.
ALL DAY LONG.
Rawls 500

Rawls, hey bro - just wanted to come in here on the eve of you busting the floor out of the 6th floor and let you know how proud I am of you and how lucky we are to have you in Feb15... I don't do a good enough job of revisiting these intros, but I am going to start making a better effort to do so... I really hope I see you post 600 tomorrow. Something tells me I will see it. Quit with you any day, my man!

Thank you men.
We used to pee in a diaper.
We used to suck our thumb.
We used to be scared of shadows.
We used to chase girls.
We used to drink and drive.
We used to hate seat belts.
I used to feel uncomfortable in church.
We used to chew poison.
We are are not the same.
Our shadow.... has changed.
We are no longer.
Change is natural.
Its time for Truth, let it find you!
You can be free.
It's time to let it go.
Post Roll.

Nicotine is one big lie.
After 1,000 days there is no excuse for this. It makes me sick to know that new guys that are really struggling are reading this and thinking..."damn this must be impossible. A cave after 1,000 days? It must never get better."
Well it does. A lot. This is pathetic. Post roll everyday and this is a fuckin cakewalk after 1,000. Or you can do it the BigBob way.
.............................................................................
Makes me wonder if he was really ever quit?
Yes.. Any one can fall.
But, at one point.. We quit peeing in our pants.
We also quit sucking a nipple...kinda?
We quit blaming other people.
We started reading and learning.
We ask for accountability.
KTC has helped us replace Who we were.. ODAAT.
It's hard to go back...
Let's keep moving forward.
Big Bob..(anyname).. Maybe You just stopped.
We can see the chair.
We can research the chair.
We can see other people sit in the chair.
We can feel the chair.
We can go to college and learn about the chair.
We can go to seminary on the chair.
We can talk about the chair.
We can preach too crowds about the chair.
We can sit in the chair.
But.....
At some point we have to Trust the chair.
We have to pick our feet up.
And "believe" in the chair.
All can escape the lie.
All can find the truth.. And be set free.
I quit with you... And all.
