No stopping for me ..... its Quiting time!

Day 105.....

I have been wondering what will be the next hurdle to cross in my life upgrade.....

Well it seems as though if you wait long enough and search hard enough the next hurdle always presents itself!

I have been making many strides to better myself durring my quit and in my honest opinion I have bettered my self imensely! I do sometimes wonder if the wrecking ball that was my nicotene life will ever get better or go away.......

I had a rather bad weekend and I believe I have possibly figured out why, I never came close to cave and there is a reason. Both of those things being said I think I have found the solution or at least the next direction to work towards. I have taken and drank as much of the Quit Like Fuck kool-aid I could drink and well it has solidified my quit and resolve to points I truly didnt think possible, I truly believe the ways and means of this site can help put back some of the pieces my nicotene life ruined!

I will say one of my new ways and perspectives has and will be Patience Like Fuck!!! I have a great and wonderful family that has lived with me tolerated me and put up with me thru the addiction, thru the stoppages, thru the relapses, and now finally thru the Quit!!!

I have to have the resolve to be and stay patient even though I may not get craves and ever want to return to the rat shit in lip mentality I never really worked on the fixing of me and my patience or lack there of that we all experience from time to time.

I am writing this mainly to keep track of my own progress as I will be taking the same stance with this as I have with my quit process. I feel as though I slammed my quit and kicked its ass in every way now my resolve will be spread to let those who love me enjoy the new better me.

QUIT LIKE FUCK!!!!

PATIENCE LIKE FUCK!!!!

Its a mentality and resolve that truly helps when needed most!

Grizzly25.....105 day......out.

As much as I regret being the lieing sack of crap I was when I was a slave, I wouldn't change a thing. Without having to learn from my mistakes, without having to have fought to earn my freedom I would not be the man I am today. Today I am happy, I am quit, I am part of an amazing community and I am free. We earned that today.

Grizz,

Some days I regret I ever chewed and had to come to the site. Today I don't regret it.

Why? Because I wouldn't have read what you wrote. I realized that it isn't bad to be an addict if you learn to control your addictions.

In fact reading about all of our individual triumphs and victories. We truly are ones that can get knocked down but get right back up and fight. Sure there isn't a cure to our addictions but we have proven that we don't give into it. We are fighters! We are Winners, We are understanding that our abilities and strength is unlimited!

Glad to be your brother in the gospel of quit and patience.

Rocky Balboa

Let me tell you something you already know. The worlds arenÂ’t all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it...


You've gotta hit as hard as life. It isnÂ’t about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much can you take and keep moving forward? That's how winning is done.

If you know what you're worth, Go out and Get What Your Worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits. And not pointing fingers saying you arenÂ’t where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that arenÂ’t you. You're better than that.

Thanks guys for the support and thanks Waste I printed those words out and will be carrying them around in my pocket for awhile!

I never saw that Rocky movie as of yet and I had never heard that inspirational video either! Great stuff and very much on target!

Thanks again!

You're a great quit brother Grizz and I thank you for always having my back when called upon, and for sharing because your posts are great and help motivate and challenge me. I too need some major work on the patience and glad to read someone else out there has recognized it as a problem that needs to be worked on and not just the mentality of it will get better with time in my quit. Wrong, it's not going to magically get better in time, I need to work at it because the new me is used to patience through the can - now, I have to find new ways to manage my patience.

Great post and thanks again for having my back.

90 days........

It is hard to believe that I have been quit for 90 days I can think back to when I started this and when I found this site and really still cannot believe I am sitting at 90 days, I havent even killed anyone or even acted on any of my rage......

I will say that without this site and the support it brings I would have surely failed by now, not that I dont have conviction or determination but I have never had the amount needed to tackle this nic bitch!

I have had some small victories as of late and I have also noticed that there is becomming a different Grizzly25 walking around his house and dealing with his kids and everyone else that crosses his path on a daily basis...

I really have also noticed I am becomming worried that the once tolerant man I used to be is going to be alot more difficult to find than I thought, but I will continue to say and know I am a re-work in progress and the steps I have taken are just the beginning and the best is yet to come!

Anyway I will say as I near the HOF I am proud to be quit with a truly badass group, I would have never made it this far without you and I look forward to continuing to kick nic's ass one day at a time....


Grizzly25 .......90......out B)

Stay strong dude. I too was afraid that no more dip would mean I would be different. I am. Mostly better but I can understand your concern if you think your patience is lessening. It's just another phase of quit. You will find out who you are and that you will be better than a dipping you by definition. Stay strong.

Stay quit.

90 is huge man

Nicely done on the 90! Keep it going.

Nicotine dulled us down. It kept the really wild mood swings subdued, thus the calmer you. I have had to learn to deal with emotions my kids had long since figured out. I started dipping with I was 14 so I really never had much emotion.

You will figure it out as you go. The imoprtant thing is to stay quit. Nicotine as I am sure you have figured out by now does nothing but keep you addicted to Nicotine.

Congrats on the 90! Push ahead.. See you on the train.

STAY QUIT

80 Days!!!!!

80 Days!!!!!

I still find it awfully awesome that I have been able to make it 80 days!!!!

I want to give a bit of an update seeing as how the last couple of posts were well rather depressing and well they sucked there was nothing good in them and strangley thats how I was feeling!

I have recently gotten back from a out of town trip where everyone I was with was drinking and partying thru the night and I managed to not even come close to a crave!

One of the guys who was with me is someone who I have hunted and fished with for the better part of 13 years, did I mention he chews Grizzly Wintergreen......


I had told him back in the early stages of my quit that I had finally figured a way to kick that nasty habit!!! He was of course very skeptical seeing as how he has seen me quit then fail so so so many times. I told him it was different this time blah blah blah......

Well he asked how the quiting business was going and I told him he was rather surprised and couldnt believe me, he is one of those true know-it-all types!

We went and had a great time over in Indy and went out to eat and bar hopping every night and never one time did I even come close to caving!!! He was very surprised to say the least!

At one point while we were going out and about I was using the Smokey Mountain and he was over there chewing Grizzly, he spit his chew out and took a hit from my can! lol

I think I may have made a believer out of him! I know for myself I know my quit definetly strengthened with that trip, mainly cause I was with many of my closest friends for 4 days and none of them have ever seen me without a dip for more than an hour! lol

I made believers out of them and myself, this does not mean I am going to get all cocky in my quit but it does mean I will remain confident.

Anyway just and update from a once truly nervous quiter who now knows he is not only winning the war but really just kicked some serious ass in a huge battle!!!!!


Grizzly25 .......80 days........out!

Grizzly,
This is awesome stuff. You deserve to be cocky, proud, and arrogant, you are rocking your quit. Proud to be your BOMB brother, keep rocking and stay strong bro!!!

That is great shit - thanks for sharing. I remember your post before heading out and how nervous you were about the trip - great job kicking ass. That is a huge investment in your quit. Proud to be quit with ya - stay strong and keep leading the way. Congrats on 80 days!!!

Great job!

Well done my friend. Well done.

Great job Grizzly! Proud to be quit with you!

Just glad to be a part of a winning team. Grizzly, I'm feeling guilty. This is your moment but I felt I had a victory because you didn't cave? Sorry, I know it was all your work and battle but for some reason, I can't help but feel like I won too? Maybe if we share the pain of the addiction, we share in the victories and triumph?

Grizzly, everyone congratulates you and I want to add, Thank you. Thank you for keeping your word and promise! I had a strong trigger going off today. Not anymore, I prefer to win than cave. Feeling your success, yeah its mine too. When I succeed its your victory as well.

United, United, United we stand, United we never shall fall...." mthomas slams his guitar on the stage breaking it into pieces and yells, "Everyone who is caving to nicotine, you're fucking jack wagon! Life begins when you are a real quitter." The audience and music is silent, mthomas quietly exits worried that he is crazy.

Pain shared is Pain Divided. When we post and share our wins, our battles, our tough moments, the grumpy days, the feeling sorry for ourselves, the triggers, the all day craves - when we share, we are dividing up the tough times with our quit brothers. We get through it all together. I know I have had some shitty ass days, but I read Mthomas crazy ass funny posts, and Grizz is always there with support and to lead the way. So many great quitters to share the pain and overcome the addiction. Proud to be quit with you fuckers. I share it all with you badass quitters.

Grizz thank you. Reading your success strengthens my quit. These individual successes of conquering our triggers and craves need to be celebrated. Quiting is just so awesome.

Grizzly, everyone congratulates you and I want to add, Thank you. Thank you for keeping your word and promise! I had a strong trigger going off today. Not anymore, I prefer to win than cave. Feeling your success, yeah its mine too. When I succeed its your victory as well.

[Judas Priest starts playing in the background] "United, United, United we stand, United we stand one and all. United, United, United we stand, United we never shall fall...." mthomas slams his guitar on the stage breaking it into pieces and yells, "Everyone who is caving to nicotine, you're fucking jack wagon! Life begins when you are a real quitter." The audience and music is silent, mthomas quietly exits worried that he is crazy.

80 Days!!!!!

80 Days!!!!!

I still find it awfully awesome that I have been able to make it 80 days!!!!

I want to give a bit of an update seeing as how the last couple of posts were well rather depressing and well they sucked there was nothing good in them and strangley thats how I was feeling!

I have recently gotten back from a out of town trip where everyone I was with was drinking and partying thru the night and I managed to not even come close to a crave!

One of the guys who was with me is someone who I have hunted and fished with for the better part of 13 years, did I mention he chews Grizzly Wintergreen......


I had told him back in the early stages of my quit that I had finally figured a way to kick that nasty habit!!! He was of course very skeptical seeing as how he has seen me quit then fail so so so many times. I told him it was different this time blah blah blah......

Well he asked how the quiting business was going and I told him he was rather surprised and couldnt believe me, he is one of those true know-it-all types!

We went and had a great time over in Indy and went out to eat and bar hopping every night and never one time did I even come close to caving!!! He was very surprised to say the least!

At one point while we were going out and about I was using the Smokey Mountain and he was over there chewing Grizzly, he spit his chew out and took a hit from my can! lol

I think I may have made a believer out of him! I know for myself I know my quit definetly strengthened with that trip, mainly cause I was with many of my closest friends for 4 days and none of them have ever seen me without a dip for more than an hour! lol

I made believers out of them and myself, this does not mean I am going to get all cocky in my quit but it does mean I will remain confident.

Anyway just and update from a once truly nervous quiter who now knows he is not only winning the war but really just kicked some serious ass in a huge battle!!!!!
