Krf150's Quit

[Mike from AB]

I'm finding it's much more of a mind game than I at all thought about when I started! But you'll continue beating it each day by day  be good

[krf150]

Thanks guys, appreciate all the replies and support. Ready to kick this thing in the ass, been putting it off for too long and since I'm on a roll right now, figured now is about the best time for me to quit. I figured since I'm now 10 days in on the quit, it's all just a mind game from here on out, and I like challenges.

[Mike from AB]

Welcome KRF  congrats on your successes so far!

I use to think this also, then lately I've been reading "The Power of Positive Thinking" Norman Vincent Peale and have learned that usually I get exactly what I anticipate. When my attitude sucks things turn out pretty damn shitty. But if I change my attitude and look for the good, I have good days. I now believe that "things turn out exactly how I see or anticipate them happening." The depressed me of the past always saw that dark cloud and it was usually over my head so I anticipated the rain from it.
Quitting nicotine is a bitch but it will change your life even more than you have already experienced. "There is no future in the past."

Amen Wt57!! "the power of thinking positive" is real stuff and brings positive mojo, even helps in healing situations. Which is what our bodies are going through now.


krf150 Glad you have made the decision to quit! We'll quit ODAAT together! I just sent you a PM let me know if you need anything.!!!

9 days is great!  You like me hit a low that shook your life and woke you up. 

one thing I've learned it's things rarely turn out the way we plan them too.

Hey all.  Well, after 3 years of continuous dipping, I have finally decided it's time for me to quit.  To be honest I never thought I would get addicted to tobacco/nicotine, but if there's one thing I've learned it's things rarely turn out the way we plan them too.

I remember the first 3-4 times I ever chewed.  I threw up every single time.  It blew my mind on how it was legal, I was spinning like I just took 5 shots in a row.  No idea why I continued to do it but I did.  Fast forward to this past summer.  I was in the lowest point of my life.  The woman I loved broke it off with me and got married to some other guy that looks very similar to me, I lost my job, failed out of classes, wrecked my car, had to move in with my parents, and turned into a whiskey loving alcoholic.  A friend of mine was killed in combat in Afghanistan.   After years of working out and building muscle, I gave that up, and became overweight and severely out of shape.

To say that I was depressed was an understatement.  For whatever reason, it seemed like in one fell swoop my life had been pulled out from under my feet.  Then, in July of this year, a friend of mine that I was very close to throughout my middle school and high school years who suffered from depression killed himself after having dinner with his family one night.  That was tough, especially going to the funeral.  I regret losing contact with him over the years, him and I had a similar outlook on the world and I feel that I could have talked to him and helped give him a new perspective on life that he may have not seen.

I don't know why, but his death kind of woke me up.  I started thinking about who I was, and the kind of legacy and memories that I would leave behind if I were to die at that point in my life.  I didn't want to be remembered as a depressed alcoholic who could not come to terms with the woman he loved leaving him. 

So I changed.  After a year straight of drinking 600 mL of whiskey every single night, I stopped cold turkey.  I got back in the gym.  I started running.  I stopped watching porn.  Now, 8 weeks later, I have lost 20 lbs. of fat.  I have totally stopped drinking and I can now run 2 miles without stopping.  I picked up my guitar that I've had laying around and have finally started to learn to play it after years of wanting to do so and I start taking lessons soon.  I have been without Copenhagen for 9 days now.  I'm now working on my next career path and am planning on moving out of state next year.  Right now, I feel better than I have in years, and I plan to continue making the best out of everything I can.

Anyways, glad to be here and looking forward to that 100 day mark!

Congrats on your decision and good job on 40 days without support. I got one answer for your question up above. You tried one of the most addictive drugs known to man and payed the price. I to thought it tasted like crap at first, but later thought it smelled and tasted better than ----------.... I'll leave that to your imagination. Now it smells like DEATH and SLAVERY.

I see you posted roll,, great job. Learn all you can about this addiction by reading everything you can on this site. Learning this enemy will help you develop a hate that will keep you quit. Live by these two rules and you will defeat it every day. ONE DAY AT A TIME and you can have back a lot of what the poison has stolen. NEVER AGAIN FOR ANY REASON and you can keep it. Glad to be quit with you.

Welcome to a brotherhood of accountability but also support. 40 days without support is amazing, but don't let that fool you, jump in here and drink all the cool-aid you can guzzle. It will both save
and lessen the pain of your quit. Take Srans up on that number. He is a hell of a bad ass. He is a quitter I aspire to be like and one that you will want as an arrow in your quiver. Keep posting roll like a boss and never ever for any reason miss roll and never break your word to us! I quit with your bad ass all damn day! Erussell -136-
