Quitter or Life Long Dipper?

[brettlees]

Random thoughts at day 320...

+ I still get craves with certain triggers. Like getting in my car on Friday after work. I guess it will take more than 300 days to wipe out 7200 days of normal.

+ I like the guys in my quit group. I'm going to meet them all in person.

+ When I see the quit groups that are 2-4 years old, I see there are only a handful of guys still posting. I wonder who will drop away from July 2014 and who will stay?

+ Every new quit group month goes through the same drama and team formation stages. Funny.

+ I quit eating so much. I quit drinking IPA so much. My weight is finally trending to previous weight.

+ New soap box: I used to think smoking was an individual choice. If you want to kill yourself, so be it. Now that my taxes pay for other people's mandatory health insurance, smokers/dippers piss me off. Low income people who smoke should not get tax subsidies to make themselves sick.

+ I have been spending more time in the noobs quit groups. I used to pick a guy and try to help them. Then they cave and piss me off. Now I wait to see if a bad ass emerges and try to team up.

+ Time seems to be flying. Can't believe a years is coming soon. The first 100 took forever.

+ The guys who leave KTC because of pride are not a distraction to me. Hope they stay quit and find what they're looking for.

+ So fucking glad to be quit.

bingo

you're a quit wizard man! keep it up.... love your insights!

Random thoughts at day 203

+ I sometimes consider leaving KTC to spend time on other stuff. But I sort of like the people on this site and probably won't leave.

+ I still get some craves on certain triggers. Things like leaving work on Friday and going on long drives.

+ I find myself cussing much more and I don't care. (I mean I don't give a fuck.)

+ I think I used alcohol as a substitute around day 80 - 120. Probably drank much too much.

+ The cavers piss me off for breaking a promise. But I also feel bad for them going back to day 1. The day count is motivation to not want to start over. But I wish cavers well - hope they stay quit.

+ Quitting caffeine is helping me mentally. I need someone to hold me accountable in that group. I need to hate the caff bitch.

+ I enjoy meeting quitters. Been to 3 or 4 meetups. Quality people them quitters.

+ I don't hate Grady's posts anymore. Has he changed or have I?

+ The second 100 days went much faster than the first. Insert something wise about life here.

Do not eat too much try to curb the cursing... it go me fi red remember .... heheh Boss was in wrong place at wrong time he fired me on my HOF (100) the day... fucking weasel assed rat bastard.

Late congrats Zeke. Let me know if/when I can help.

[OSAGE]

Z - You are a badass July quitter. Good to be quit with you today!

[Thumblewort]

Z, what would you do without me? 'na na' You probably wouldn't cuss as much nor would you have someone to mention, that has been such an inspiration to your quit. 'finger point' Oh and to answer your question, we've all changed...well... except for our "freak" (woot) and I don't think that's ever going to change. Glad to be quit with you Zeke.

Don't listen to ^^^^^, he is high on butane fumes. Nice two hundo Zeke!

Day 82 observations...

+ I'm feeling better every day. I kinda feel like a new person.

+ I need to quit caffeine... but I'm focusing on the nic right now. You are next caff bitch.

+ I have about 100 quitters cell phone numbers. I appreciate random texts. (At reasonable hours for west coast.)

+ I may have written this in my last post but I have no interest in Smokey Mtn. It helped me get through early craves but I'm sick of having spitters in my car and I don't need it anymore.

+ I still waste too much time on this web site.

+ I get the "go to lite for coddling" point but I think some quitters push it too far. I want to see everyone quit (not stop).

+ I forget who wrote this but it's true... most of the guys on this web site are better friends than my friends on FaceBook.

+ I know it's only one day at a time, but I'm going to make it to 100 - with 100% roll. Thinking of quitting for 100 days makes me... 18 days to go.

+ Early on I dreamed of a HOF coin but I'm not buying one. I'm pissed at myself for ever starting using nic. Don't need it.

I'm with you on the need to kick the caffeine bitch in the ass next. But she's a 600lb BEAST!!

I've debated about the coin as well, but have decided that it will be a good reminder of where I've been. And where I never want to go again.

Our being addicts won't change whether we buy a coin or not. History, as pathetic and controlled by the nic bitch as it was, is still a part of us and should not be forgotten. Complacency may begin to set in, and from what I've read, that's not usually a good thing.

Proud to quit with you today.

Great post Z. Both you guys are stand up quitters in my eyes. Thanks for staying in the mix

Your HOF speech had a pretty big impact on me. I'm curious to know if the dickhead Mr. Spach sent you a coupon for a free can of Kodiak stating "sorry for the inconvenience, here's a coupon for your troubles".

Never got a reply. I didn't really expect one.

I didn't either. I took it and replaced only s few words and mailed a copy off too. Because I tetty much could have written that letter too. Not as well as you did however. Nice work z.
