My quit quit

[Callaway]

Thanks to everyone for all the support! Much appreciated. I enjoy the freedom from that nicotine slavery.

[Mike from AB]

Congrats on 100 days  HoF!

Callaway
Hold on Duckfips! Our next stop is picking up one wild ass IT Operations Consultant from Austin Texas. Welcome aboard Callaway! This quitter started using Copenhagen Longcut when he was 21 and realized 100 days ago that nicotine sucked-period.
The craziest thing he’s ever done? From the man himself, “I drove into Mexico with my girlfriend (blonde blue eyes) in her brand new BWM 5 series back in 2007. We made it in about 30 miles and realized after being attacked several times, the feds on our ass and basically did everything you're not to supposed to do in Mexico (didn't prepare). We turned around. Seriously it was the scariest/craziest thing I've ever done. I've never feared for my life except for that day. Dumb idea.” Pretty damn crazy… Callaway would like us contact a blonde size 2 stripper in the event of an emergency (maybe we should just have one on board anyway?)

When Callaway isn’t running from the Mexican Federales he enjoys golf, kinky sex, and his favorite avatar “The Eagle. Murica!”

Callaway would like to thank 224, Philz, cdaniels, loot, and SIrDerek for helping him reach this milestone and says he plans to sign up to 200.

I don't like this STORY and its "happy" ending. Read it in words of wisdom. Wasn't really inspiring to me.

You got a lot to learn Callaway.

Perhaps you need to get involved on this sight a little more and steer clear of mass quantities of alcohol.

Keep playing with fire, you might get burned. Happened before, did it not?

Calloway, Are you still ready to own youÂ’re quit? I quit with you back on 1/1/13, I am on day 188 today. What day are you on?

Your story really bothered me last night. I am concerned about your commitment and your judgment. Send me a PM with your number if you want to chat with someone. I haven't talked to many cavers but I usually see that a returning caver must answer 3 questions.

1. What happened? You said you blw it on 4/20/13

2. Why did it happen?

3. What are you going to do differently this time?


You need to answer these questions and post it in your old group, the FogCutters(April2013) and then in your new group. I would also post it in your intro thread so that everyone can learn from it.


I donÂ’t know what kind of a network of support you've got going, but I do know that you aren't gonna get far without one. I stand here at 188, not because of willpower or being a badass or anything like that. Nope, I stand here quit at 188 because of the people that I have met and the people that I can count on. These people know who they are, they reside in California, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Michigan, Ohio, Utah, Alaska, Kansas, Missouri and many other places all over the map. For me, all the support in the world is just a click, phone call or text away.

This....

During that 7 or 8 second time lapse of slow motion (so it seemed)�I had more thoughts then I think I�ve ever had in that short of time. Some of those thoughts were:

1.   Disrespecting my KTC brotherhood. The WHOLE KTC community.
2.   Letting Phil, Suds, TurnBow all down. My first line support.
3.   Letting MYSELF down. Who�s more important than YOURSELF?
4.   Attempting to encourage cancer to ruin my life.
5.   Letting my family down.
6.   Wanting to be known as a nicotine addict AGAIN.

Should have been before this....

Just about  2 minutes before we were supposed to take that left turn into my community I told the driver to take me to the Shell�

You came close, you are not the only one I have heard of that this has happened to, hell one guy even licked a damn can once! Glad you didnt cave, but damn, that was giving the bitch waaay too much room in your quit. Lesson learned.....quit on!

What a dumb ass. Nothing else to say. You wanna dip, dip. Fuck you.You wanna quit, quit. If you want help quitting, I am interested.

Damn, this post has me fired up. Call a quit friend next time. Get your ass in chat. Call me, fuck, I will PM you my number. Anyway, congrats on the victory I guess, but Damn, get it together bro.

I would say something here but I wont. Believe what you want. Hell Post this shit in Words of wisdom for all I care. POINT IS WE QUIT HERE. NEXT TIME CALL SOMEONE BEFORE YOU BUY THE SHIT. CLOSE CALL.... HMMM I WONDER......

I'm with this guy ^^^^ on this one. Have a lot to say, but it probably wouldn't do me or you any good. Be careful man and guard you quit with your life. quit with you.

[jrod]

When I caved I wrote a story almost exactly like this one. Edited it, re read it, then deleted it because it was BS. Not calling you a liar, but it smells like crap to me.
For me, the heavy realization of what I was doing didn't come until after I had screwed up. I'm really really glad you were a better man than I was in the moment of truth.

Take care and stay quit buddy.

Here’s my ‘redo’ when it comes to my intro. I’ve already posted my intro (titled ‘my quit quit) but I wanted to share an experience that I had on Day 4 (Saturday June 29th). You better use this as an example and NEVER get this close to becoming a fucking loser like I did. Make your promise and stick with it, learn from my fuck up and quit on!

On Saturday June 29th I took my boat out with some friends down here on Lake AustinÂ…we were drinking/partying it up (you know typical lake activities) after a day of drinking on the water and catching some sun, we docked the boat and all went home. I was too drunk to drive and would never chance a risk such as that so I called a cab to take me back to my house. Remember I was drunk (couldnÂ’t drive safely). Once I got into the cab, the cab driver asked where we were going and I gave him the address to my house and continued onÂ…the ride was about 15 minutes from my boat dock to my house.

HereÂ’s the part you really need to pay attention too, and learn from.

During that 15 minute ride all I could think about was having a cab driver stop at the Shell station that was across the street from my residential community. I sat in the back seat for 10 minutes ponding the thought if I should ask the driver to take me to Shell station so I can have a fat juicy pinch of fresh Copenhagen Long Cut. Just about 2 minutes before we were supposed to take that left turn into my community I told the driver to take me to the ShellÂ…and he did. I got out of the cab happier than shit, ready for the big ass lip full of Cope. I go in and get a Diet Coke and a can of Cope. Get back in the cab and he takes me home. Once I get inside my houseÂ….itÂ’s freedom at lastÂ…FINALLY A DIP TO RELIEVE MY URGEÂ….THANK GODÂ…

So I start to cut open the seal around the can with the same pocket knife I use every time I open a new can in my kitchen (knife sits in a drawer next to the sink). I open up the can with precision, like IÂ’m treating this can like the fucking King of Great Britain. I pop the can lid off smell the aroma of fresh CopenhagenÂ…at this point itÂ’s almost like an orgasm in a canÂ…literally.

I then proceed to pinch me a nice packed pinch and have it sitting there 1 foot from my mouthÂ…nicely packed and pinched destined to land in the lower left side of my lip. Here it is, what IÂ’ve wanted ALL day and finally I can cure that cravingÂ….

AND THENÂ….

I had that pinch in my fingers ready to make its final descent into my lower left side of my lipÂ…time frozeÂ…froze like an Alaskan dogs balls on a 150 mile sled ride in 10 degree weather with a 47 mph steady wind.

During that 7 or 8 second time lapse of slow motion (so it seemed)Â…I had more thoughts then I think IÂ’ve ever had in that short of time. Some of those thoughts were:

1.   Disrespecting my KTC brotherhood. The WHOLE KTC community.
2.   Letting Phil, Suds, TurnBow all down. My first line support.
3.   Letting MYSELF down. WhoÂ’s more important than YOURSELF?
4.   Attempting to encourage cancer to ruin my life.
5.   Letting my family down.
6.   Wanting to be known as a nicotine addict AGAIN.

After those 7 to 8 seconds were over, I let go of that pinch of Cope, turn on the faucet, popped the lid off that can and dunked the WHOLE BRAND NEW CAN under water and watched it circle the drain. THAT FELT LIKE THE BIGGEST WEIGHT OFF MY SHOULDERS.

I was so close to caving I was literally a half second from becoming a slave to the can and a traitor in life. FUCK YOU CAN!

These are just a few thoughts that I had in that short lapse of time right before I become a slave to the can AGAIN. More than just a slave but I would have to explain myself to all my brother and sister hood on this site. How would you like to feel telling everyone you werenÂ’t strong enough to keep your promise to stay quit? That alone should be enough.

The moral of this post is to NEVER put yourself in the position that I did myself. Yes, I was lucky to be able to make it out of that position without caving or being a weak ass bitch. If I was in that same position physically and/or mentally in the future I would choose to call my support brothers and ask them for permission.

I hope everyone learns a little something from this post and makes damn sure you never get this close to caving. ItÂ’s not worth it and just know youÂ’re letting down a whole brotherhood that really truly cares more about your selfish ass if you decide to give up on weak ass self.

Stay quit and use your support breathen.

Dude... Good and bad here. I won't belabor the point... You already know. If you need more numbers, pm me, I'll be glad to be there man. Guard your quit bro...

Damn....... That is close man! Real close!! Yes next time you call while you are in the cab. Always call before you buy the shit, don't let yourself get that close to disaster. You got it and awesome you've posted this for others to see! Also easy on the alcohol. Weakens your resolve, just as a lot of one night stands are a product of drinking, so are many caves so be careful with it. I quit with you.

[wmcatty]

What a great example of accountability...and from a new quitter! Another lesson learned here is that Callaway would not have had the cab stop at the Shell station for a can of Cope if he was sober. There are reasons for the Rules of Quit protocol...even if they don't make a bit of sense at first. Great job Callaway! I will quit with you all day!
