Great stuff as always!!!

Your doing great and the good thing is your staying quit and developing the resolve that it takes to get past those rough days and depressing days!

You said it perfectly knowledge is the big stopper now you know the truth and you know you can stay quit so going backwards just isnt you!!!

Kepp your badass quit going and I am truly proud to be quit with you bro!!!

[DennyX]

You suck. Any one of us would have paid $100 for that banjo. I feel betrayed. You have a fiddle to match the banjo? I'd be interested. KTC needs a classified section, but then I'd be afraid of it getting gheyed up.

[Scowick65]

Keep bringing it!

What if the nic bitch looses? What if you are a badass quitter? Houston, i think we have a quitter. Me likey. Keep up the great work. Nice 50.

Day 46 Saturday

Why in the hell do I tell my wife how much I hate garage sales and once I year I get roped into have one at my house? Well I am quit so I have to play nice. I thought I would even contribute. "Shelly this banjo is a starter, I paid $300.00 for it. The case I paid $100.00. Sell the set for $100.00 or divide it up $50.00 each. That is a good deal for anyone but It is just collecting dust here. Don't go under $100.00, I could get that much on eBay or more." She asks me to go to the store and get some diet cokes. I come back and the Banjo is gone. "Cool how much did you sell it for." The guy talked me down to $40.00. "For the Banjo?" No, for the banjo and case. "Shelly he is going to sell it on eBay now." Well he was really nice. WHATEVER. GARAGE SALES ARE NOT FUN FOR ME.

It is a beautiful day. Mowing the lawn with my kid. Working hard and it is the second weekend in a row that I didn't feel the need, want or desire to chew. Yardwork used to go hand in hand with the nic slut.

Day 47 Sunday

I can see that I am sailing to 50 days! Get online and order my KTC Hat as my first marker to the HOF. Read in the bible. New Testament 2nd Peter, Chapter 2. Verse 19 - 21. I was thinking about tobacco I replaced pollutions with tobacco and likened it to quitting. I really felt a warning to not cave. Once you gain knowledge, you can never go back to ignorance. But as addicts, most of us will be like dogs returning to his own vomit or a sow, having been washed, returning to wallowing in the Meyer.

More than anything I have to prove that I will not be like a dog or pig. I must stay clear and clean from the poison of tobacco.

I feel stronger and more committed than ever.

I never replaced dipping with anything fake. Maybe that is why I gained so much weight. Thought I would watch the Jazz Spurs game and try sunflowers....What a bunch of shit. Seriously am I a fucking bird de-seading the damn things. I don't have a beak! Mabey shredded beef jerky or carrots but not a fan of sunflower seeds.



Day 48 Monday April 30th.

I had a dream last night. The dream was so vivid. I questioned the reality of it. I'm in a board meeting with Mitt Romeny, he asks me if I want to be there because I was dosing off. I said yes. He told me to go wake up and come back in 5 minutes. I left the room, went into a stall in the bathroom and began to put skoal pouches in my mouth. I went home and I am in bed with pouches in my lip. I hear my wife come. I panic and put the pouches back in the drawer and sit on the bed. She goes straight for my nightstand drawer!!! I try to hold her back but she somehow has the drawer open and holds the can in my face and said, "C'mon Mark!" I really thought you were serious this time. I wept. No words just wept.

When I woke up in the morning, I got ready for work and was in awe of how real that dream was. It had to be a dream because I don't work for Mitt Romney? Is it possible that I don't remember but went to the gas station and got a can???? Is that why it is so real? I went to my drawer afraid to open it...Finally I did and nothing there. I wake up my wife, "Shelly did I get out of bed last night?" She told me no. I said I had a vivid dream about chewing tobacco. She told me to relax that is what I was told on KTC to expect. (Why couldn't it have been a wet dream) That dream really rattled me.

I get into work, I have an email that my CEO wrote over the weekend. Loves and wants me to continue working but can not pay me until we get the final funding. He will give me stock for pay. Its generous but how long can I go or how long will I need to go without a pay check. Is the ship sinking or is it just timing? If it is timing, I just became worth more. If it is sinking, I just screwed myself.

14 yr old kid in our neighborhood was hit by a car. (a couple weeks ago) He was in a coma and more than likely not going to make it. Parents have been up at the hospital so we have been taking turns to feed them. I picked up some Sonny Bryan's BBQ and went to the hospital to offer our care and support.

He is out of a coma. He is more than likely going to live but not the same anymore. A long scar of stitches hold his head together. I can't believe I can be so worried about my career and think I have a trial. What would I do if this was my kid?????

I go work out. Hard. I went from 185 to 210 in my quit. Today I am happy because I am 206. Finally losing weight and not gaining!

My daughter asks me tons of questions about my journey and my addiction. She listens and gives me a big hug and tells me that she loves me. It was nice.

Day 49

I am at work but not productive. Just spending a ton of time on KTC. I am trying to be positive. Reading HOF speeches. (Excellent) emailing, chatting and just killing time. Read someones post who I respect says that they have the blues. I go to save the day and find myself realizing that I am blue too. All I can say is that I relate.

Does God hate me? Is God trying my faith, is Satan tempting me? I may be cynical here but what does it matter? I am free to choose and decide my course no one but me can stay quit or cave. I chose to be quit. If God hates me, I am still quit. If God is trying my faith, I am still quit. If Satan is tempting me, what a waste of time on his/her (Political correctness. Satan could be a fucking bitch!) part...I am quit!

It is getting close to 4:00 today. One hour until I leave work. I will probably go check out chat but with all the fog, funk, ups and downs. You know what....I AM PROUD TO BE QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is this quit different than the past attempts??? First I want to end the cycle. I want to be done and move on. Second, when temptation comes, I expect it and know that all I have to say is, "Not For Me, NOT TODAY" the cravings usually leave as fast as they come now. Also, I have a better understanding of facts. The broken record of quit, start, quit, start, quit, start; can only keep skipping if you start.

I know without a doubt, If I were to cave, inevitably the day would come where I would quit...yet again. The pain of this has been so good for me to never think I want to start over. I only want to go forward. I love writing my thoughts because as I write, I feel the triumph of what I have accomplished!

Tomorrow is 50 days! The journey hasn't been easy but I have enjoyed the new discoveries, challenges, friendships, victories, etc.

I AM QUIT.

What if you lost your job?
What if you lost a child?
What if you lost your wife?
What if you were dying anyway?

Would you regress back to your can of filth and your can of lies?

NO!!!! That is nonsense. That is an out of control, addicted brain that would do that....
The can will not get me a job, bring back a child, wife or make dying any easier.

Tobacco is a crock of evil shit in a can. I don't have any need, reason or excuse to skip my record of life and start over.

I am going Forward!!!! Bring on the Blues, the Fog, the Funk....I am prepared and know it will pass and is only a phase.

Nicotine you are a dumb worthless bitch!

[Wt57]

Day 45 is a good day.  A day I realize that my cockiness isn't good either. 

This may be taken out of context but don't be feeling bad about the size of your cock or your nut sack you've mentioned, the nut sac issue is probably related to the snip and the small cock, try (EXTEND). Dude you are really twisted, oh yea that's the bipolar kicking in I forgot. MT I love your support not in a (sexual way) but I still wouldn't turn my back on you.

'crackup'

[Grizzly25]

Day 42, 43, 44

Having fun.  Think I have it all figured out.  Quitting is easy.  I am strong and confident in my quit! 

Day 45

It dawns on me.  I have yet another "a ha" moment.  I am not becoming a good poster child for the quit cause. 

I could even be a cyber bully???  My hatred for tobacco must be controlled...just like my addiction.  My hate for tobacco could be misunderstood as hate for a user???? 

What have I done?  I love the addicts and I hate the addiction.  I wrote something that I needed to take off because I said that anyone who uses tobacco is an enemy to me.  That's just not true Thomas.  That's not you. 

Yes we need to have straight unadulterated talk to addicts but they must know that we love them.  Here is something I read that is true.  Probably good for raising children but all relationships. 

Reprove at times with sharpness, afterword show and increase of love lest they esteem you an enemy

Some of the shit I said, I could be thought of an enemy.  I forgot to show and increase of love?  It is just a computer that I stare at and can say whatever I feel with out thought of the person reading it. I don't see the impact it may have.  I just think they need it straight but if you can't read how your message is being received...The delivery may be left to interpretation without understanding. 

The tobacco industry is still and enemy to me and my quit.  However the addicts are part of my family now.  I pray that they will QLF and I will straight talk but show an increase of love if I use sharp words. 

I don't know if I alienated anyone and I hope I get the opportunity to mend and repair any damage.  I truly, truly regret any bullying, or rude tactics.  I don't regret being sharp when it was required but I hope my efforts were productive and positive. 

Day 45 is a good day.  A day I realize that my cockiness isn't good either.  I love being quit and I hope to be a good example. 

The weekend is upon my and my quit.  Focusing on getting rid of the 15 lbs I gained in my journey of quit.

As usual, great post. Not feeling too chatty this morning but glad I woke up and posted roll first thing and decided to read a little - some nice craves rolling through this morning. Wife is gone for the day, home with kids and was really craving a chew with the morning coffee, sportscenter, and big comfy chair. I am such an addict...like I said, glad I got on here and started reading. Feel a lot better now.

PS - That was not glamorizing chew, that was letting you all know how my fucking addicted brain works and what the nic bitch was trying to trick me into.

QUIT LIKE FUCK

We addicts know those same thoughts every morning brother.....

Way to use the site to help get thru those rough patches and I sometmies send out a mass text to all the numbers I have when I am really craving that always reminds me how many others are having the same struggles I am having!

Stay strong bro!

[T-Cell]

My name is Mark Thomas and I am an addict. It has been 44 day since I sucked the shit out of a slimy wad of carcinogen. I craved today and for some reason (addiction) I thought about buying a can of skoal. That thought was gone about as fast as it came.

I just read the confession of a cave. It was sad. I didn't have the heart to comment, I just shook my head.

Newbies All of us are addicts. I am going to attempt to save the vets some time and aggravation...dealing with the weak ass, lazy as fuck quitters. There is a big group in July. I almost feel that we have a surge in the desire to quit. However, with the surge, the broken record of missing roll emerges.

You must make posting roll a priority. Every damn day you wake up, you post roll. No excuses! You're a fucking addict and your excuses have no value. You do it or you're still a fuck up.

"Oh but I was busy." "I didn't have access to the internet" Do me a favor and stick that excuse up your ass. As Addicts I discovered something we all possess, we are creative!!!!

When you were out of dip. It didn't matter if you were broke, stranded, in church, in a hole or 80 miles from the nearest town. You got your chew...didn't you?!!!!!

So become an addict to posting roll. No excuse, be creative and determined if you have to but post roll.

Only here 44 days. Short time but it is apparent to see the pattern that leaves to caving. It doesn't matter the number of days. When someone gets lazy in posting roll, they are in danger of caving.

Here is an excerpt from the Kill the Can bible.

Mthomas3824
Chapter 5

Behold, posting roll was raised up on the KTC site that whosoever would post, would be protected and quit; and many did post and were freed from their addiction.

But few understood the meaning of posting roll, keeping their word and repeating daily; and this because of the hardness of their hearts.

But there were many who were so hardened that they would not post roll, there they perished to the everlasting cave and were lead into the bondage of addiction.

Now the reason they would not post roll is because they did not believe that would heal or control their addiction.

Oh my brethren, if you could be quit by merely posting roll, would ye not post roll quickly, or would you rather harden your hearts in unbelief, and be slothful, that ye would not post, that ye might perish into the cave of addiction?

If so, wo shall come upon you; but if so, then post roll every day and believe in the KTC method and live free!



Amen to those that don't post roll. We are in a war. The battle plan is simple. We chose to follow the plan or we die in battle. None of us, Not one of us needs to cave to our addiction. The plan saves lives. It is simple. Why do a few of you think it isn't important to post roll?

Is it just so simple that you wont believe? Does it need to be a covert operation with bells and whistles for you to believe in its effectiveness? It is by small and simple things that great things are accomplished my friends. Be committed to it and be free. Please. It breaks me up to see a cave. Promise never to miss a day posting roll.

Right on Mark!
'Finger' tobacco!

Day 39:   Really nice weather on a Saturday.  Yard work, Home Depot runs.  In the past, this would have been an all out dip day.  Leave me alone and let me tinker around the house.  I had no cravings.  The thought crossed my mind but it was simple to focus on other things.  It was fun to spend the day with my kid and work together.   I really love his company and don't miss the secret relationship with the can. 

Day 40:   Wow 40 days.  It went by fast but I kind of feel like I've been quit forever.  Seems like I have seen more peeps joining KTC lately.  Great, I hope they have and experience the freedom and pain that I have.  Embrace the suck and we quit like fuck! 

Day 41:  

I woke up this morning and went to the gym @ 5:30AM.  Got to work excited to be alive and make it a good day today.  Posted roll and feel privileged to be quit.  I don't miss tobacco.  I detest everything tobacco related.  I might crave being an addict, but my clear head thinks tobacco is such a crock of shit! 

Chewing one can of skoal for 20 years.......... -$43,800.00
Staying quit for 42 days............................... +$250.10

Not letting my addiction rule me................... PRICELESS!!!!!!

Congratulations on 40 and 41. Keep up the good work and battle every day to maintain that positive commitment. You are focused and kicking ass. Proud to be quit with ya.

Thanks. I am going to enjoy the mini vacation from the cravings. 20's sucked, 30's were fun. So far 40's are just fine. I imagine between now and 60....I am going to face another battle.

One day at a time though. I am really enjoying today.

Never let me pass you in quit days. If I do, you pay for my plane ticket, room and board to come up there. I get to video you in a dress, standing on a busy street corner with a sign that says, "Hello, I'm a coach and I am tobacco's bitch!"

Ha - that's a deal.

I struggled through the 50's - don't know why and no scheduled funk talked about. Just my time to struggle I guess. Feeling better today though. Keep that positive attitude rolling - that is what it is all about. It is now a matter of mental toughness. Defeat the urge to cave by fighting every crave with a positive attitude. I think I was feeling a little sorry for myself and had to pull up my skirt, dig in, and take the fight to the bitch.

You can keep chasing but you will never catch me. No Day 1's for me!!!

good, you are my big brother and can warn me of upcoming bumps like you do. I don't even want to have the mindset of another day one for you or me. We go forward cause we quit like fuck! The bridge is burned and there is no going back.

I like to talk a big game because when temptation comes, I always think of the things I said and statements I made. I will not allow the humiliation of a fail. I do everything I am told to do on this site.

This must be how Muhammad Ali stayed a champion. You talk so much shit that you will not allow yourself to fail. You almost will success because defeat would be too painful. If I caved, I would definitely post a day one and I am sure get my ass kicked.

So I post every day and never cave, then I can keep talking shit to the cavers and never feel sorry for the weak minded.

AMERICA FUCK YEAH! (you every see the movie Team America?) You should its one messed up puppet show.

You are dead on and I love the shit talking strategy. You actually have me rolling most nights. I agree with the strategy - talking shit is also going to save your life - hold you accountable to what you are preaching. I love it. But, you don't just talk shit - there are some good messages in your posts. You have a great way about you - trash talk yet humble. Great combination. I hope this isn't getting too they - just want you to know that what you are doing is helping many and you should have some confidence in yourself, you are owning your quit, fighting the bitch, and winning. People enjoy reading your posts, keep it up.

Stay Golden Pony Boy.

I agree I love reading the mthomastherapy sessions, but I do have big issue!!! Going back he talks alot about his mistress; I had this hot chick by my side back about the time he was born or at least still in diapers. I'm sure shes the same bitch. I thought at the time she was my one and only. Well it turns out I was paying her for her services, does not that make her a whore?? I think MT was paying her too! Shit all of you guys were screwing the same bitch and we all got the same disease, ADDICTED

I don't know why every time I see Mthomastherapy I see masturbate in the middle of the title. Not ghey.

that isn't your middle name is it

Day 39:   Really nice weather on a Saturday.  Yard work, Home Depot runs.  In the past, this would have been an all out dip day.  Leave me alone and let me tinker around the house.  I had no cravings.  The thought crossed my mind but it was simple to focus on other things.  It was fun to spend the day with my kid and work together.   I really love his company and don't miss the secret relationship with the can. 

Day 40:   Wow 40 days.  It went by fast but I kind of feel like I've been quit forever.  Seems like I have seen more peeps joining KTC lately.  Great, I hope they have and experience the freedom and pain that I have.  Embrace the suck and we quit like fuck! 

Day 41:  

I woke up this morning and went to the gym @ 5:30AM.  Got to work excited to be alive and make it a good day today.  Posted roll and feel privileged to be quit.  I don't miss tobacco.  I detest everything tobacco related.  I might crave being an addict, but my clear head thinks tobacco is such a crock of shit! 

Chewing one can of skoal for 20 years.......... -$43,800.00
Staying quit for 42 days............................... +$250.10

Not letting my addiction rule me................... PRICELESS!!!!!!

Congratulations on 40 and 41. Keep up the good work and battle every day to maintain that positive commitment. You are focused and kicking ass. Proud to be quit with ya.

Thanks. I am going to enjoy the mini vacation from the cravings. 20's sucked, 30's were fun. So far 40's are just fine. I imagine between now and 60....I am going to face another battle.

One day at a time though. I am really enjoying today.

Never let me pass you in quit days. If I do, you pay for my plane ticket, room and board to come up there. I get to video you in a dress, standing on a busy street corner with a sign that says, "Hello, I'm a coach and I am tobacco's bitch!"

Ha - that's a deal.

I struggled through the 50's - don't know why and no scheduled funk talked about. Just my time to struggle I guess. Feeling better today though. Keep that positive attitude rolling - that is what it is all about. It is now a matter of mental toughness. Defeat the urge to cave by fighting every crave with a positive attitude. I think I was feeling a little sorry for myself and had to pull up my skirt, dig in, and take the fight to the bitch.

You can keep chasing but you will never catch me. No Day 1's for me!!!

Great stuff guys!

I would have to agree with suckit this is an awesome page to read many times over.

Always good contenet and just like so many things about this site the guys going thru the quit have a great way of articulating what many are thinking and maybe not able to write!

Keep up the good work guys and hopefully these bad ass quiters will inspire more to throw their fucking cans away and join the fight!
