July 09 Quitters

[DeanTheCoot]

Good call Deano - you'll be glad you went!

Thanks for the blog link, sir. What you wrote reflects exactly how I feel. Even during the ride to work this morning, I kept thinking to myself: "I DON'T have mouth cancer...COOL."

It really IS cool, you know? All of us played Russian roulette for a long, long time, and it is very cool to have dodged the bullet. We deserve it, for quitting.

I just got off the phone with my dentist's office. I made an appointment for a cleaning. As is the case with most dippers, I avoided the dentist like he was the Black Death incarnate. And as is the case with most quitters, I am returning to my dentist after keeping that shit off my gum line for a while.

That's not notable. But I was struck by how long it's been since I was at the dentist. The receptionist counted it off for me:

"Two thousand fiiiiiiiiive...six, seven, eight, nine... Yep, four years."

I was OK with that, at first, know that it had been that long. (And that was the last time I "quit.") But then I got to thinking about it after I hung up the phone.

Four years? Seriously? I am living in fucking Vietnam? Is this a third-world village? How could I go four years without seeing a dentist, after visiting every six months for the first 16 years of my life?

Then I got to thinking some more. The span BEFORE this visit was TEN YEARS. 1995 to 2005. I remember the receptionist saying "I think we might want to do some x-rays...It's been a while since you've been here, Michael. You needed your mom to remember appointments, didn't you?"

Day 112

I am wondering what motivates some of us to be so involved with KTC and the people who come, go and stay here. Of course, there are a number of possible reasons why.

But who believes we get so involved because we're trying to set the quit bar higher and higher and higher? Or that we get crazy and talk shit to put more and more skin in the game?

Let me explain.

It might not surface while I ream out someone's ass for not posting roll or for being a general cocksucker, but I do believe that my whole motivation is to make it IMPOSSIBLE for me to cave. I want to put myself out there so much, to so many people, that I become a model quitter who cannot, under any circumstances, let people down and be a hypocrite.

I force this upon myself, you know? I sure as hell wasn't born this way. I am not inherently strong. In terms of addiction and habits, I am a natural weakling. If Darwin was alive today, he'd use me as an example of the weakest being crushed. But because I want to be quit, I need to CHANGE what I naturally am.

Because weaklings CANNOT quit. It's that simple.

true dat.

KTC to me is the equivalent of the brass knuckles Jerry uses to kncok out Buddy Revell in 3 o'clock high...it is that little something extra to tip the scales in my favor.

Nice fucking reference, Jay! Nicely done.
