Be humble... grow everyday.

I fear I will always be chasing the vortex like a drug. None will be as special as my first hit.

Quote from: Athan
Do you know of my brother, Mack213?
In the halls of quit is where he is seen.
Of his exploits wondrous tales are told,
And heÂ’ll strengthen your quit a thousand fold.
Oh his slain are a mighty throng,
providing poets with ballad and song
OÂ’er the bitch will he cast a dark pall,
For my brother Mack is 10 feet tall!
He spins her legions off into chaos,
and lays waste to the can on a daily basis.
She flees before him, at the very sound of his voice,
as he informs all the addicts that they have a choice.
He takes them by the hand, he looks into their eyes,
“Come follow me brothers, just give it a try!”
IÂ’ve gone before you, IÂ’ve blazed the trail,
DonÂ’t let her beguile you, for that ship has sailed.
And so here he toils, day after day,
Finding new quitters to show them the way.
YouÂ’ll need his wise counsel when youÂ’re at wits end
And when you find him, youÂ’ve found a friend!
I love you brother!

Quote from: Mack213
Day 75......3/4 of the way to HOF. That feels good to think about for the moment. I'm proud of it.

Just yesterday I was reminded of a few things that I needed to put in here for later reference.

I woke up yesterday with knowing that after work (5:30p.m.) I would have to drive 3.5 hrs back home on the other side of the state.

This would be my first "road trip" if you will, since my quit date began. And I felt the anxiety almost immediately after I WUPP that morning.

So the work day goes on, and at about 3 pm, I start digging into my bag of KTC tools. I text my very best brother in quit Athan and ask of he'll be around his phone at 6 pm central time, because I know I'll be filling up my truck and getting on the road. And that convenience shop (kwik shop) is my trigger. And for some reason, it's almost haunting me just thinking about what's to come.

So my bro Athan, the man that he is, which is a bad ass quitter and just stand up man of everything good in life, calls me and we make arrangements for me to call him AS I'm pulling up to the gas station and before i even exit my truck to pump gas.

The next thing that happens makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The phone rings at around 4:30 and Athan says "i just wanted to make sure my phone reception works where im at because this is where ill be when you call".....so I confirm I can hear him loud and clear....then he says "excellent, ok, love you, goodbye"

That made me laugh my ass off in front of co-workers who will never understand. And I love that. With KTC, I found a complete stranger who has my same sense of humor, and knows truly what it means to help someone. And not just Athan, there's so many in just my group alone (APRIL 18 baby!!!)

So 6 pm rolls around and the call is made. I buy some red bull, gum, get my truck filled and Athan was with me the whole time. I never thought on day 74, i would still have my brain telling me that i wanted to buy a can of copenhagen. But with a brothers help, and me knowing damn well just how little self control I can have at times, I made it through this hurdle in my mind. I drove the 3.5 hours thinking about how I've changed and I hope it's all for the better.

I want to stay on this quit thing forever, but for now, I'm just gonna focus on today.

75 days ago I wouldn't have had this knowledge, these tools. There are 25 other phone numbers in my phone I could reach out to at any given time. It's powerful to think about.

So I'll be out in BFE Kansas for the weekend, gotta hike up a hill about 1/4 mile each day to ï¹°Wï¹°Uï¹°Pï¹°P, but it won't affect me being here bright and fucking early each morning, welcoming the challenge my former self has presented me with.

I'm proud to be quit today, and if you just read this damn novel, I'm even more proud to quit with you today.
Was time well spent, both ways!

Quote from: Mack213
There are so many ways each day to strengthen your quit. Reading practically anything on here, from intros to HOF speeches, ANYTHING really.

We emphasize reaching out and getting digits for a reason. Your held EVEN MORE accountable when the numbers in your phone are not strangers on the internet anymore. They are faces, people, going through the SAME shit you are....right now!

Then, as you take your quit even more seriously, you start to see things...like, people who post the wrong day #, people who don't post at fucking all...people not quite getting the picture that their quit is a life and death decision.

I recently took a step to be more active in the group, and it brought me to my knees almost at the pure happiness I have knowing what my group actually looks like! There are faces, personalities, that you can't get or see by just floating along posting roll.

Make absolutely no mistake tho, if your posting roll and holding your word. You are bad ass. And I'm proud to quit with you.

But for those of you looking for something, feeling like it's just not enough right now, "what else can I do", "what can take my mind off this damn chew".....

Look here....drink the kool aid. Let yourself be apart of it. You won't regret it.

There's been SO many times within my measly 66 days quit that I've thought about chewing. Then I say, "grab some seeds, and log on to KTC" , and it works, but not all the time, so then "text Athan, ReWire, you name them" , then a conversation can take you right through that crave. That's not enough? Ask what else you can do. Someone will answer you. And you won't regret where it takes you.

I just want this to soak into one person, if they hear it and it helps them, then I've done ok in my book.

I'm proud to be in April 18. And proud to quit with all of you
Solid....
You helped my quit today sir.
Great Intro.
You need digits.. Let me know.
I quit with you today.

Hey Mack, only day 11 here. Been going smooth until today. We had one of our first nice days here in MO and got outside with my kids and grilled. Extreme trigger hanging outside. So needless to say it was a tough one and I probably looked like the only idiot around with a frown on such a beautiful day. Finally couldnÂ’t take it so I jumped on my harley and tore up some back roads for some wind therapy. Anyways, soon as it got dark I hopped on here and saw your posts. Really digging your upbeat attitude and it really helps. LetÂ’s me know things will get better even though today sucks ass. Thanks for being a positive guy.
