Day 1

[Wade]

Day 225 - Cleaning and check up and the Dentists office. Awesome check up. Not a single hint of periodontal disease. Hardly any plaque build-up.

Amazing how quitting dip, brushing your fucking teeth and flossing will keep your teeth in your mouth.

I quit with all of you today.

[Wade]

I'm at the high school football game tonight. My kid's playing corner. My wife sat next to a friend of hers, and I sat in between her and another couple. The other couple lives right down the road from us, husband has a big old lipper in, as usual, looks like about half a can stuffed in his lip. He's spitting away, watching the action. End of the 1st quarter I see him pull out his can, toss out his old dip and finger bang that can, telling his wife, "Puttin' a new one in for good luck." Her response was priceless. "It won't be good luck when your jaw falls off." Fucking A! Nice job wife!

I quit will all of you today. Never again for any reason!

186 and counting...

[Mike from AB]

Yeah that is good, thanks for bringing it up!

[Wade]

Danny O, a lot of people around here like to say that we were all "slaves to nicotine". But make sure to keep it crystal clear in the back of your mind...

We were all actually slaves to our own DECISION to feed our addictions. Every last one of us is an ADDICT, and we always will be. You, me, RedTrain, all of us...we're addicts, plain and simple. The problem isn't somewhere "out there"...the problem is and always was US.

But in exactly the same way, we are set free by our DECISION not to use nicotine. We're still addicts, but we don't use nicotine anymore. Freedom comes at a cost, though. For a while, it's gonna suck. EVERYBODY goes through the Suck on the way to nicotine-free. It's uncomfortable, both physically and mentally. It makes us feel like losers, junkies, shit we hate...reminds us how completely fucking weak we've been all along, all the lying (at least to ourselves), all the expense, all the damage, all the nastiness.

But every consecutive day we stay clean, we gain a little more dignity, and a little more health. And the Suck will pass. So for now, don't think about anything except staying clean today, just this one day. The past is the past, we can't get it back. And the future is too much to take on right now.

Just stay clean today. We've got your back.

Good shit!

[Wade]

The thing about addiction is that we can't regulate our usage. Physically, it's impossible. There is no in "weening" without pain as nicotine use rises to push away the withdrawal. We have control over whether we use or not however. We can choose to be a user or a quitter. We don't have a choice whether we are addicts though.

One of my favorites...

I don't know what the hell's going on, but the 70s have been weird. I'm having crazy dreams. I keep waking up at random hours in the middle of the night and tossing and turning for an hour. Weird. Hopefully this is associated with quit and not old age (I'm not even that old).

What up wade? The 70's to me were worse than the first 3 days. I don't know what happened, the bottom fell out. I was riding the elevator, on my way to the 1st floor,, everything going good. All the sudden,,,, the floor just opened up and I fell straight down.. Felt like I landed on day 1. You know what,, it wasn't craves really, it was like my brain stopped working for a bit. Felt to me like my life wasn't worth squat.

Wade,, everything will return to normal in a minute,, just embrace it for what it is,, part of the healing process. You'll be back to your perky, quitting, great little self before you know it. I quit with you bro...

I was about halfway through the day yesterday, working on building cement forms in my back yard, getting a nice sunburn that I can feel today sitting in my office chair, when I realized that 49 days is 7 weeks.  I thought, "Wow, that's cool.  I've actually gotten somewhere with this."  Then I started thinking..."I've been nicotine free for nearly 1/7th of an entire year!"  That is really cool shit.  I'm so stoked about this.  I dug up my Intro here and was just reading through it...looking at what I posted on Day 3 and Day 4, etc.  Things have definitely improved.  I still have urges, but they're not nearly as bad.  Every once in a while I get a bad one that jumps into my head out of nowhere, but they're "dealable".  The night before last I had a dream about Copenhagen pouches.  I was definitely happy to find out it was a dream.  But, as I said, life is definitely good.  I'm really looking forward to how good it's going to be at 100 days, then 150, 250, 500, etc.  Can't wait to get there!

Way to go Wade! Every plus one get's a little better right? When my phone goes off at 5am, I know it's you, with a QLF or NAFAR. keep going my quit brother.

You too brother! It's a great day to be a quitter!

Welcome to quit Wade. It is nice to see you enjoying some of the benefits. Keep your guard up man. Guard this quit with your life. the nic bitch is always prowling, looking for a quit to steal. Ready to pounce you when you are at your weakest. Be ready!!!

I'm just happy to be here. Here being my 73d Day with no nicotine input into my system. 73d Day without bathing my entire mouth, throat, and stomach with carcinogens. 73d Day of not trying to find a spitter for the drive to work. 73d Day of racking up Trident gum's stock prices...haha. 73d Day of the rest of my life.

I quit with all of you today.

Mondelez International (MDLZ) - maker of Trident - stock is up about 7.5% over the last 73 days. Sure, some of that is unquestionably due to boffo sales of Oreos and the ever-popular Tang (who the fuck drinks Tang?), but I'd say most of that uptick is on you. This multinational conglomerate thanks you, personally, because this multinational conglomerate cares...

Oreos are a Vegan food. Tang? It's for astronauts.

nice Wade 3/4's of the way to the HOF...Keep it up one day at a time! twat kind of tang are we talking about...

If it's that kind of Tang, then I'm an astronaut every day.
