Its a good thing this train had some down time yesterday, because we now take our longest trip yet, all the way to Bangalore, India. I know what youÃ,’re thinking, Ã,“you canÃ,’t drive a train to India.Ã,” Well, hereÃ,’s our little secret - itÃ,’s winter and the Bering Straight is froze over. So we popped up through Canada crossed over to Russia, went down to the Indian subContinent and BAM! right to PraddyÃ,’s door.
This single guy is a computer engineer whoÃ,’s nicotine addiction started when he was 18. Now, 11years later, Praddy has finally freed himself. The bitch we all love to hate knows no borders. While she might hide in a can or pouch here in the Americas, in India she comes in the form of a little sachette and is very cheap. (like any dirty whore) Praddy credits his new interest in bodybuilding as what pushed him over the edge to quit. Oh, and the fact that cancer rotting his face off scared the shit out of him. With the help of KTC he has gone from not being able to do anything without chew, to being 100 days free. Good work man! Dave1903 and wmcatty are given credit for supporting PradyÃ,’s quit but the fear of Worktowin coming over there and beating his ass with a cricket paddle definitely helped too. Which leads us to a little cultural field tripÃ,…
Since we came all this way we might as well take a moment to see what india has to share. The sport of cricket is not a hobby of PraddyÃ,’s but a PASSION. Ordinarily we would think he is embellishing, but these guys are like soccer hooligans for the sport. For those not familiar, cricket is kinda like baseball but uses a paddle and has a scoring system i don't understand. The British introduced it, but India took it to the next level. Praddy doesnÃ,’t watch much TV but when he does, itÃ,’s the Indian National Cricket Team games. I wonder what their mascot is?Ã,….
Since Praddy is sticking around for 200 days we can learn a bit more about this sport named after a bug. His insight thus far is, Ã,“You quit one day at a time. No matter what the withdrawal symptoms are, no matter how you are struggling with it, don't give up because this is not about anything or anyone else, but it is the last wall between your life and death.Ã,” Well said Praddy. Welcome aboard
Its time for everyone to grab their curry in a hurry cause we got some traveling to do. With our new quitter aboard itÃ,’s back to the states with the wisdom of Tyler Durden echoing...
Ã,“You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet.
You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.Ã,”

Praddy - haven't seen you around for a few days. How are things going? This whole team is cheering you on ... Let's get an update!

2014 will start off great if you keep following the plan.

Yes Mogul. Pan is a form of tobacco here in India. Its a betel leaf combined with areca nut and cured tobacco. Pan is chewed and finally spat out or swallowed. Its red once you start chewing it. Its the more natural form of tobacco. I have never used it. But my dad still uses it. Then you have the company made tobacco. They come in sachet mostly for either chewing or dipping. Its normally black in color. I started it when i was 18 with dipping. Then when i was about 19 the pouch came along. Since then i have been using pouch, together for about 11 years until last month. Most of these are now banned in different states of India because of the excessive cancer causing chemicals found in them, but unfortunately its readily available in the black market. Another scary fact is that, India accounts to 86 percent Oral Cancer Figure across the World.

Thanks Wayne. Its been a tough time yes. And i am extremely glad i am over that tough period. Now the challenge is to not give in. Quitting for a single day has helped a lot. Thanks for the wonderful support and encouragement. :)

Keep pounding through it Praddy. You are doing great and I am proud to be quit with you. I know the past month has been difficult but your determination and will power over nicotine and her addictive charms effectively demonstrate your commitment to freedom. Well done brother.
